I reflect on my past decisions and get caught up in them. When the news of the house demolition came, I didn't expect it to be the beginning of a dispute.
"Brother-in-law, I helped buy this house when I married your family, and my sister and I have a share. The sister-in-law said resolutely.
"It's the law, and I have a share!" the sister-in-law said excitedly.
"And how much do you want?" the wife sneered. "Give you 1 million, you go. ”
I was overwhelmed by this sudden contradiction, what should I do?
"1 million, brother-in-law, look at it, she's too much!" The sister-in-law turned to me, her eyes full of grievance and helplessness.
"Okay, 1 million is 1 million, take this money and you can leave, don't provoke the relationship between me and your sister here. After the wife said coldly, she turned and went back to the house.
My sister-in-law looked at me with disappointment and helplessness in her eyes. I know the hardships of my sister-in-law, she has worked hard outside for many years, and now she is coming back in the hope of getting some compensation and recognition, but my wife's attitude makes me feel guilty and powerless.
"Brother-in-law, I really can't help it. The sister-in-law said softly.
I shook her hand and comforted, "I'll try my best to convince her to get her more money." You can rest assured. ”
A few days later, my wife again proposed to give my sister-in-law 1 million, and I tried to persuade her to take more, but my wife ignored it and insisted on her own opinion.
Just then, the arrival of a court summons caught the entire family off guard. It turned out that the sister-in-law had filed a lawsuit for the division of the family property through legal channels.
I was deeply drawn into this conflict, physically and mentally exhausted. I didn't know what to do, I just wanted to resolve the conflict and bring the family back to harmony, but I couldn't do it.
This sudden conflict made the atmosphere in the house tense and heavy, and I felt at a loss. The sister-in-law's mouth opened wide in shock, and her eyes showed despair and incomprehension.
She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Brother-in-law, I really need this money, and it's not easy for me to come back with my child."
"Hmph, it's ridiculous that you were willing to marry away from home, and now you're coming back for money. The wife said mockingly.
"How can you say that, doesn't my sister feel sorry for you at all?" asked the sister-in-law angrily.
"It's useless for me to feel sorry for her, and she doesn't expect you to feel sorry for an outsider. The wife's words were sharp.
"I'm from this family, not an outsider!" cried the sister-in-law.
I couldn't stay out of it, and I was torn between such family disputes. The eyes of the two women are full of contradiction and helplessness, they were once such close sisters, but now they are in an irreconcilable impasse.
The conflict ahead has not yet subsided, and my wife and I have become strange and awkward. After my sister-in-law left suddenly, my communication with my wife became more and more indifferent.
"What's the matter with you? You agreed to give her a million?" I blurted out.
My wife looked at me with exhaustion in her eyes. "Didn't you wonder why she came back to ask for the money, because their family had an emergency situation and needed money, and I agreed to give it to her.
I was struck by my wife's words, and I really didn't think about it. I felt guilty, as if I had lost the most important thing in this dispute – the heart of understanding and support for my family.
At this point, I realized that sorting out these entanglements was far from being as simple as I thought. Between the intricacies of family disputes, I have been caught in an emotional vortex, and the future path is uncertain.
