At 11 p.m., I just wanted to go to bed. My brother-in-law's phone called.
"Eldest sister, come on, Xiaoyue is starting to have a stomachache. ”
I was so excited that I didn't bother to change my clothes, put on a coat, got on the bike and ran to my sister's house.
Along the way, I imagined more than a dozen situations in my head, but I didn't expect that she would be gnawing sugar cane in the living room.
I rushed into the living room, only to see my sister Xiaoyue holding a garbage can, spitting bagasse into it, and my eyes were straight.
"It did hurt a little just now, but now it doesn't hurt anymore. ”
Xiao Yue saw that I looked in a hurry and hurriedly explained.
The hanging heart finally let go, and I immediately complained to her.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyue was not happy to hear it.
"What? I'm not worried about the baby in my belly. Besides, pregnancy is so hard, what is wrong with you being an aunt, how many times do you run?" After speaking, she glanced at me from the corner of her eye.
Heh, that's my fault.
From the beginning of pregnancy to the present, a full 38 weeks, which of her pregnancy tests have I been absent from? All kinds of nourishing products during pregnancy, imported fruits, which ones are not what she hasn't said, I sent them first.
Not to mention, I paid for finding a good doctor for her and buying all kinds of baby products, even the 30,000 yuan in the confinement center.
Looking at Xiao Yue, who had no heart and lungs to eat sugarcane in front of me, and my brother-in-law who was swiping videos with his mobile phone and laughing, I felt enveloped by a deep sense of powerlessness.
I feel more and more now that the decision to let Xiaoyue recruit in the first place was ...... Not so correct.

My name is Liu Nan, I am 35 years old, unmarried, and I work as a manager in a joint venture company.
From my name, you can probably guess that my parents longed to have a boy.
When I was still in my belly, everyone was sure from the shape of my mother's belly that it must be a boy inside.
My dad also calculated the same answer from the date of conception, their zodiac signs, and my zodiac signs.
All kinds of explicit or implicit things caused my dad to accept that I was a girl for a long time after I was born.
Five years later, my mother became pregnant again, so my dad put all his hopes on his second child again.
Unfortunately, despite all the methods they tried, the second was still a daughter.
And my sister Satsuki was born with a lack of oxygen because of the umbilical cord around her neck, which caused a slight cerebral palsy.
When the doctor informed me of the situation, my dad even discussed with my mom that he wanted to abandon my sister. In the end, it was because my mother couldn't bear it that I kept my sister.
My sister and I spent our childhood in the disappointment and disgust of our parents.
Perhaps in order to prove myself, after my parents passed away one after another, I accepted the idea that my sister and I must have an idea.
My sister was born with cerebral palsy, and after rehabilitation, she can now only do light work.
Therefore, everyone thinks that the task of recruiting can only fall on me.
I graduated from college and my income was okay. When I first started working, I was told that there were a lot of matchmakers. But the other party listened to my conditions, but he didn't squeak when he heard it.
When I met one or two people who agreed to be recruited, I couldn't look down on them. Some of the other party is old, some are ugly, and some are disabled.
Just when I was about to give up the idea of recruiting money with a deep sense of apology. My sister had good news.
The other party is a driver in the factory where his sister works, there are many brothers in the family, and his father has died, leaving only a sick old mother.
When my sister told me that she was going to bring her boyfriend Lowe home, I realized that they had been together for three months and that they were quite compatible with each other.
When my sister Xizizi told me that Lowe loved her very much and didn't mind being recruited.
I couldn't help muttering in my heart, with family conditions like his, I want money but no money, I want to be faceless, I am still short, and I want to marry a daughter-in-law, but I don't know that I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, that is, my sister Xiaoyue can take a fancy to him.
Although I think so in my heart, I still sincerely wish Satsuki. After all, it is also a beautiful thing for my sister to find someone who loves her, not to mention that she can still fulfill her parents' wishes.

Since Lowe agreed to join in, I naturally can't be ambiguous. I decided to let them out as a wedding room and go out to rent a house by myself. I also handled the purchase of their wedding room and the banquet.
A wedding that cost me all my savings. All my relatives praised me for being like a big sister, but I knew in my heart that all this I was doing today was not only for Xiaoyue, but also for the regret that I couldn't meet my parents' wishes since I was sensible.
What is unthinkable is that although my parents' shortcomings have been rounded, my troubles have followed.
Last year, my sister's factory was on the verge of closure because of poor efficiency, and Xiaoyue and his wife were both laid off.
Without a job, they are not in a hurry at all, but want to take this opportunity to "rest" well.
It took them a month to visit all the attractions around them. I don't fire at home, I just order takeout...... In less than two months, the only little money I had was tossed clean.
I thought they had run out of money and should go out and get a job, but they weren't.
Satsuki plans to get pregnant at home, while Lowe plans to stay at home to take care of her.
When the money is gone, they come to me. I asked Luo Wei to go out to look for a job, but Satsuki was not happy. She said that she was pregnant with the future heir of our Liu family, and the stakes were very high, so what happened to let Luo Wei serve her at home?
I was disdainful in my heart, thinking that this family didn't even have a serious house, how could it be as if they had a throne to inherit!
Soon, Satsuki became pregnant.
Before Xiaoyue was pregnant, she still relied on me to take care of her. Now that they're pregnant, they take me for what they think of as their blood bag.
In order to meet their expenses, I not only saved money, but also tried to work part-time in every way. Even so, sometimes it is inevitable to borrow money from friends.
Last month, Lowe borrowed 2,000 yuan from me, and I was surprised. Obviously, I only transferred 4,000 yuan to them a few days ago, why did I come to me for money again?
After my repeated questioning, Luo Wei confessed that his brother's friend had married a daughter-in-law and wanted to borrow money from him to give gifts.
When I heard this, I was angry and told him that I couldn't manage their little family, and I couldn't control his brother.
Luo Wei said that it was rare for his brother to talk to him, he couldn't help, and he was very faceless.
I laughed at him, I wanted to earn face by myself, why should I let him earn face!
In the end, the two parted unhappily.
I didn't take it seriously at the time. But now that I think about it, these things have long reminded me that Lowe is not only lazy, but also extremely vain.

Conceived in October and delivered in one day.
A month later, Satsuki finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and everything went well.
I thought I would cry with joy, after all, it was a treasure that my parents had been asking for for decades. But looking at the child in the cot, in addition to feeling pity, I was more puzzled.
"Even if Xiaoyue gives birth to a boy, and the boy is surnamed Liu, the Liu family will be glorious? So does this child bring hope or burden to this family?"
Xiaoyue did some additional rehabilitation projects at the confinement center, and the staff at the front desk handed me a bill.
Looking at the numbers, I felt that the burden on my shoulders had sunk a little more, and at the same time, the belief I had insisted on for many years was also shaken.
Because I was busy, a week after Xiaoyue gave birth, I took the time to register my baby.
When I asked Xiaoyue for the child's birth certificate, she refused to give it to me. When I asked her anxiously, she said that Luo Wei had registered the child, and the child's surname was Luo.
I listened to the blood surge, and my breath was blocked in my chest, and it took a long time to get over.
When Luo Wei and Xiaoyue got married, they had already said it. He married Xiaoyue as a recruiter, and I gave out the house and money, and the child will have our surname in the future.
These words were all witnessed by relatives, and they were written in black and white. I didn't expect him to be so shameless, he couldn't pay a penny, picked up a daughter-in-law for nothing, and even wanted to keep the child's surname for himself.
I just picked up the phone and wanted to call him, but I didn't expect him to be there and appear at the door of the room.
I asked Luo Wei why the child didn't consult me when he was registered. He even said that he had been looked down upon by others, and even the children had our surnames, and he would have no face to see people when he went out in the future.
What kind of fallacy is this?
Then he said something ridiculous, saying that he was going to court to sue me and ask me to compensate him for emotional damages.
At this time, I had a sense of powerlessness when a talent met a soldier.
No matter what you have to say to Lowe, he can respond to you from an unbelievable angle.
I turned to look at Satsuki, trying to get her to say something too.
I thought that Xiao Yue would be on my side, but I didn't expect her to turn her head and say in a low voice: "Surname or something, is it that important?"
After putting in so much effort, I didn't expect that in the end, the clown turned out to be myself.

Saddened back to my rental house, I sat on the edge of my bed and looked around. Apart from a few necessities, there is not even a single decent piece of furniture.
Over the years, in order to fulfill the ethereal and ridiculous wish of his parents. Except for work, I didn't really do anything "serious".
It's ridiculous to tie my life to such a pedantic idea.
At this time, Xiaoyue sent a message, she said that I should not be disappointed, the second child will definitely let him surname Liu.
After reading it, I immediately threw my phone aside, thinking: Love is not born, love surname is not surname, what does this have to do with me? Even if it has something to do with me, how much can you believe in the virtue of running a train with a mouth full of their mouths?
For more than 30 years, I have lived in the hopes of others all the time, and it is time to think about myself.
After all, life is so short, it shouldn't all be used as a backdrop for others to bloom.
Thinking of this, I picked up my phone and sent a message to Satsuki. I told her that I didn't care about the money I had paid for her little family, but the house had to be returned to me......
I know it's not easy to get the house back to a greedy person like Lowe. But I am no longer attached to the so-called "incense" inheritance, and I have nothing to worry about.
If they don't listen, I don't mind meeting them in court. After all, I paid for the house in the first place, wrote my name, and I was the one who provided the house.
The so-called family affection is to share blessings and difficulties. Calculate everything, and stab you in the back with others, what kind of family affection is this?
Don't treat everyone else for fools, after all, fools are deceived a lot, and there are times when they become smarter, don't they?
