A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 138 The Unloved Child
Sometimes, we have to admit it.

Some parents don't love their children that much.

In other words, there is no way to love all children.

This is the case with Xiuxiu's parents.

They did not show any preference for Xiuxiu because she was the only girl and the youngest of three children in the family.

On the contrary, in the choice, Xiuxiu is always the one who is abandoned.

The Deng family was not poor.

Deng's father works in the security department of the steel rolling mill, and his monthly income is not much.

Because of Deng's father's relationship, their eldest son was assigned to work in the factory early, and he met his significant other in the workshop.

We have been married for five years now and our child is almost four years old.

The second child went to high school, but was not admitted to college or junior college. He was still connected with Deng's father. I don't know what Deputy Director Li was promised this time.

Because of his eloquence, he was assigned to work as a clerk in the Publicity Department.

The eldest son's job and marriage drained the Deng family's previous savings.

After finally recovering in the past few years, for the sake of my second son's job, I once again squeezed all the family's savings and even used money from outsiders.

The boss is dull and honest, and is manipulated by his daughter-in-law. Since their marriage, the two of them have paid ten yuan a month as food expenses.

But after the birth of the eldest grandson, this money was never handed over on the grounds that it was expensive to raise a child.

As the eldest son of the Deng family, the eldest son of the Deng family is highly valued by Deng's father. In addition, with the help of the eldest grandson, this family has a strong say in the Deng family.

People often say that the penis sandwiched in the middle is the most unflattering, because there is a big one on top and a small one on the bottom.

But the second oldest child in the Deng family can be said to be an outlier.

He had a mischievous and mischievous character, always trying to coax people to death without repaying their lives. Mother Deng regarded her second son as her darling, and she would be unhappy whenever others said something bad about him.

The sister-in-law of the Deng family couldn't bear to see this cunning uncle. In the first month of her marriage, she took a dowry silver bracelet from her house and sold it secretly.

The second brother didn't see this elder sister-in-law in his eyes either. He didn't accept the responsibilities of the eldest sister-in-law, but he acted like the eldest sister-in-law.

The two of them are at odds with each other, and neither one looks down on the other.

This time, the family's savings were spent on the second son's job, and the elders were very unhappy.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Deng family believed that she had given birth to a grandson of the Deng family, and she regarded the money and notes in the pockets of the old couple as their own.

When they heard that they were asked to pay part of the money to pay off the debts outside, they started to make a fuss on the spot.

The eldest son of the Deng family remained silent as always, and the one who rushed to the front was still the sister-in-law of the Deng family.

If a woman wants to work steadily among the men in the workshop, she must be aggressive.

It was this fierceness that held the boss of the Deng family tightly, and he always followed her decisions, regardless of whether she was right or wrong.

She never had anything nice to say about the second oldest child in the Deng family, and her words would choke people to death.

"Why should we take care of the second brother's work? It's not like he doesn't make money, and he's not afraid of making other people laugh when he talks about it. The uncle is staring at the three melons and two dates in his elder brother's house."

There is no need for the second son of the Deng family to speak. Mother Deng would hate to see her second son being slandered.

First of all, he said: "It's not that we don't have anything at home now. I'm in a hurry. What's wrong with asking you to help me? As brothers and sisters, we don't have any friendship at all. How did you become a sister-in-law?"

What Mother Deng said seemed to make sense, but she didn't say a word about the money not being paid back.

"Hmph~ I'm not a brother who ran into my sister-in-law's room to steal something, and then shamelessly pushed it on my sister." The disdain in the Deng family's sister-in-law's tone was not concealed. Whenever there was a quarrel these years, this matter would have to be brought up. Come out and say it.

Mother Deng glared and said fiercely: "What's the matter with you? If you don't already have supplies, why are you taking them out and talking about them all the time?"

After the incident happened, the Deng family's eldest sister-in-law acted vehemently and said in front of the whole family that she wanted a divorce and that she could not accept such a family.It was Mother Deng who persuaded her, and finally made up for her double loss.

In the family, the two women were arguing endlessly, and the men seemed to have nothing to do with it, sitting there in silence, just listening to what they said to each other.

Originally, the second oldest son of the Deng family wanted to stand out, but his mouth didn't scare his sister-in-law at all.

But after seeing Deng's father's warning look in his eyes, he still stopped and did not dare to speak.

In the small corner of the back room, Xiuxiu and her eldest sister were sitting on her bed.

At this time, the elder sister glanced at Xiuxiu uncomfortably. People outside seemed to have forgotten that there was an outsider like her.

The family secrets involved in the quarrel reached her ears word for word, and she didn't want to hear them.

Xiuxiu smiled bitterly and said softly to her: "You know why I want to take the technical secondary school entrance exam with you? They can't tolerate me spending my family's money anymore."

Her grades are also very good. If her family allows her, Xiuxiu would actually like to go to college.

But the quarrels at home were all about money.

Her mother even told her to stop reading, saying that it was useless for girls to read too many books.

But although Xiuxiu looks soft, she is strong inside, and she is not stupid.

She has no share in the family's work at all. It is a fantasy to expect her father to be as willing to pay for work as the busy eldest and second brothers.

Even his own security guard job had been abandoned early on, leaving it to his grandson.

Under such circumstances, if she didn't study, she would be doomed.

In addition to doing housework at home, she will be married off when she reaches the age in two years, and then live a life like Deng's mother. Such days can be seen to the end at a glance.

The eldest sister held her best friend's hand, trying to draw some strength to her.

Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Originally, she thought that being well fed and clothed was the greatest happiness.

Unexpectedly, after having enough food and clothing, there are more worries behind happiness.

Because they are good friends, they are sincere.

"Then do you have enough money? If not, I can lend you some."

Xiuxiu's subsidy is less than hers, and she gets the lowest subsidy, which is 9 yuan.

From an objective point of view, their family is a well-to-do family.

There are seven people in the family, four of whom are paid. The lowest wage earner in the family is the second eldest son of the Deng family, a clerk at grade 27, who earns 30 yuan.

Looking at Xiuxiu's patched old clothes, the eldest sister recalled when Xiuxiu began to no longer be cared about by the Deng family.

Is it from the year my nephew was born?

It seems that since that year, Xiuxiu has never worn new clothes. The cloth she can save at home is used by others.

There are nephews, sisters-in-law, and second brothers, but there is no one like her.

It started when they were both young.

The eldest sister and Xiuxiu have grown up together since kindergarten.

She had never seen Xiuxiu have pocket money on her.

Xiuxiu's sudden cry interrupted the elder sister's thoughts.

The noise outside became louder, and other people began to join in. It was no longer just a war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
