Chapter 313 - 313 303 Every Family Has Its Own Hardship

?Chapter 313: Chapter 303: Every Family Has Its Own Hardship Chapter 313: Chapter 303: Every Family Has Its Own Hardship “Can you believe that? I’ve practically raised my son for nothing—what a complete waste. He really has proven that old saying, ‘Once he gets a wife, he forgets his mom.’ He used to send money home every month, but now? I’ve sent him one letter after another, and there’s just no response at all, as if his dad and I are dead to him,” Qiu Shuping sat on the kang bed, fuming over the two letters she had sent to her second son without even seeing a penny or a piece of paper in return. “This sorry excuse for a son, I should have never given birth to him—should have strangled him the moment he was born to spare myself all this anger now.”

“Oh, you’re just never satisfied, are you? Look around our village—everyone would be jealous of you. When other families divide their properties, they bleed the old folks dry, making deals that aren’t even clear. But in your case? When it came to dividing up the family property, you and your old man didn’t have to fork out a dime, and now the sons are taking care of all your expenses, whether it’s money or food, and you’re still complaining,” Old Madam Kong, sitting on the floor, couldn’t take it anymore and grimaced. Wishing death upon such a son, by that logic, what should they do with their own children—throw them away?

Humph, that Old Qiu probably never had to deal with a tough daughter-in-law. If she had been the second son’s wife, she’d have turned the Li Family’s house upside down. Why the hell should they divide the family property as soon as I marry into the family? What, you look down on me? Fine, if the Li Family is willing to pay me off, I’d roll up my bedding and go back to my parents’ home this instant; otherwise, from today onwards, they can forget about living in peace—I’ll make their life a misery! And why, when dividing the properties, do all the children get a house except for the second son? What, is he not your flesh and blood? If the Li Family truly doesn’t care for the second son and his wife, then let’s settle it cleanly—cough up all the money he’s sent home over the years. Putting everything else aside, just that money alone is enough to build another house.”

Qiu Shuping was quite pleased with herself after hearing those words, and upon reflection, she had to admit that it was true—compared to the other families in the village, hers was indeed at the top of the list.
