"Brother-in-law, you agree! My sister is no longer here, let me take good care of you, you have paid for this family for so many years......"
My name is Li Jianjun, I am over 40 years old this year, and the woman crying in front of me is my sister-in-law.
After all, I have taken care of her for many years, from a young girl to a slim girl, although it is not a handful of and urine, but it is also half of the father.
But I and her identity are brother-in-law and sister-in-law, when I married her sister, she was still in school, she was very short at that time, and her skin was relatively sallow.
In the whole class, I often stand in the first row of the line, and I remember the first time I saw her, she was very thin, but her personality was very eccentric.
It's just the opposite of her sister's personality, her sister's personality is gentle, not only looks very sweet, but also speaks softly, never seeing her lose her temper.
In the three years we were married, we rarely blushed, and even when we had an argument, she always tried her best to make me happy, and she did everything to make me happy.
It's a pity that such a good wife suffered from leukemia and passed away in less than four months, in fact, I also thought about leaving with her, but she entrusted me when she left, that is, to take care of the family for her.
As long as this family is not separated, it is to live for her, looking at her begging eyes, I have no choice but to choose to refuse with tears in my eyes.
I was only 30 years old this year, and although the two of us met on a blind date, when I saw her for the first time, I decided that she would be the one who would join hands with me in my life.
But no one thought that she would die in the third year of their marriage, which also hit me a lot, but for her instructions, I also have to live strongly.
After the funeral for her, I began to take on the responsibility of the family, my wife has three siblings, and she is the eldest in the family, and there is a younger sister and younger brother below.
Many people may not choose to take care of their wife's family when their wives pass away, but I am different from them, when my wife married me, she did not receive a single bride price and dowry.
I just hope that I can take care of the family with her, because the three of them have lived with their mother since they were children, and when my wife was just an adult, my mother was paralyzed.
So she has been responsible for the family's expenses alone, and when many matchmakers find a partner for her, they hope that she can not take care of her mother's family, so that she can find a good in-law.
But these are rejected by his wife, who will not give up the education of her younger brothers and sisters for the sake of her personal marriage, as well as a mother who is paralyzed in bed at home.
The wife is also uneducated, and she is from a poor family, so for their tuition and living expenses, it can be said that she does all the dirty work, but her character has always been gentle and kind.
Later, I met under the introduction of the matchmaker, and I also heard about the situation of their family, in fact, I didn't mind in my heart, and even had a good impression of her behavior, thinking that she was a person with a very strong sense of responsibility.
When the two of us first met, she was very shy and wore very simple clothes, but it did not affect her good-looking face, especially when she smiled.
I remember that on the first date, she talked about the situation at home, probably because she was afraid of delaying the other party, so she thought it would be better to say it in advance, but I didn't care.
I even told her seriously that I was willing to help her take care of the family together, and it may be that my loyalty deeply touched her, so she was willing to marry me.
Now that she's gone, leaving behind my younger brother and sister who are going to school, my mother has been urging me to stop meddling in my wife's family.
After all, now that my wife has passed away, I have no status to take care of anymore, but for the sake of my wife's request, I oppose the opinions of all my relatives.
Although I know that they are good for me, while I am still young, I can continue to find my next wife and even give birth to a lovely child.
But this is not the life I want, the only goal now is to provide for my wife's sister and brother to study, and only when they have a chance can they live in her place.
When my mother saw my wife dead, she kept preventing me from helping their family again, and even threatened me with a "hunger strike", but this did not stop me.
I moved directly to my wife's maiden home so that I could take better care of them, otherwise my younger siblings would go to school, and my mother-in-law would not be able to take care of herself.
My mother-in-law often persuaded me to leave this house, after all, if I couldn't get rid of this "rotten burden", no girl would marry me, and even no children of my own in the future.
But I don't mind at all, after all, fulfilling my wife's entrustment is my greatest wish in this life, so in addition to helping the family with my salary on weekdays, I will often take care of my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law often sits on the bed because she is paralyzed, and if she doesn't exercise for a long time, her muscles will atrophy, and I often massage in my spare time.
At first, my mother-in-law was very resistant, but I always persuaded her as a "son-in-law" that after all, "a son-in-law and half a son" should fulfill the responsibility of filial piety.
When my younger siblings come home from school, I cook delicious meals and even check their homework, but the siblings are still very self-conscious.
My academic performance is also at the top of my class, in fact, at this time, I also understand my wife very well, why I have to take care of them all my life, because their lives are full of possibilities.
It can be said that at the beginning, I was able to use my salary to support their tuition fees, and even had some leftovers, so that I could buy some medicine for my mother-in-law, and the family lived a dull and happy life.
But slowly, the expenses of the two brothers and sisters are getting bigger and bigger, and even the wife's sister Yuhong is about to take the university entrance examination, and the college tuition is also a lot of expenses.
My younger brother Yugang is also about to enter high school, and my mother-in-law's condition is also in need of medicine for a long time, so it can be said that the burden on my body is getting heavier and heavier.
Yugang also saw that I was under a lot of pressure, and one day he came to me crying after school, saying that he didn't want to study anymore, and I slapped him at that time.
I started crying after beating him, and when he saw me crying, he comforted me, so I turned around and went back to the house, buried my head in the quilt, and cried loudly.
Although the old saying often says that a man doesn't dust off his tears, in fact, in my opinion, "it's just not to the sad place", when I heard Yugang say that he didn't want to go to school, I actually knew that he felt sorry for me.
In addition to work, I also work part-time jobs in the evenings, that is, to help the grain factory move goods, and I can earn more income a month by working an extra few hours at night.
But this will cause my mental state to be very poor, sometimes I will desert during the day, this time because of my nap, almost caused some accidents in the garment factory.
This was also severely criticized by my superiors, who felt that I had a problem with my work status, and even suspended me until I thought clearly.
Hearing the factory leader's arrangement, my brain also felt very dizzy, after all, once I no longer work here, my younger brother and sister's tuition will become unsettled.
So when it was time for our factory leader to get off work, I knelt down for him directly in the alley, although I was very undignified as a man, but I had to support this family.
I have worked in this factory for more than ten years and have been selected as "excellent employees", and they also have a lot of good impressions of me.
But after this incident with my wife, they felt that I was very "stubborn", and even began to have a bad impression of me, and now they want to suspend me.
After I knelt down and sincerely apologized, the factory leaders finally decided to give me another chance and told me to cherish it, otherwise I wouldn't talk about anything next time.
This scene also happened to be seen by Yugang who came home from school, so he came to me and said that he didn't want to go to school, in fact, we have been together for so long, how could we not recognize the figure hiding behind the wall?
After this incident, I quit my part-time job in the grain factory, after all, I have to cherish this job, because my factory is relatively old, so my monthly income will be a little higher than others.
In order to save the two of them from worrying about tuition fees, I sold my wife's wedding house, which has been empty since moving to my mother-in-law's house.
Although I will occasionally come back to look at the memories between the two of us, I also believe that even if the marriage house of the two of us is sold, she should not blame me.
With this money, it was basically not a problem for the two of them to go to school, but the matter was soon known by their parents, and they broke into their mother-in-law's house overnight to make a big noise.
Even my mother let go of her cruel words, if I really sold the old house, I would not know my biological son, and I would never recognize them as parents from now on.
My mother-in-law persuaded me with tears in her eyes, saying that she would not let me sell the house, but since I had decided to do so, I would not change it, and in the end I sold the old house.
I didn't spend the money I sold, I paid Yugang's high school tuition, Yuhong's college tuition, and my mother-in-law's medicine for a year.
My heart is also very happy, Yuhong is also very promising, and she was directly admitted to a prestigious university, and Yugang's grades are also very stable.
But my mother often burst into tears for me, and sometimes we would meet on the street, and she would never say a word to me, even as if she didn't know me.
With this money and my salary, Yuhong successfully completed college, and after graduating from college, she also found a decent job, and she would hand over her salary to me.
In addition to her necessary birth dues, the rest of the money will be given to me, at first I refused, after all, little girls are beauty-loving, and they should clean themselves up.
With his own efforts, Yugang was also admitted to a good university, but at this time, the burden on the family has been reduced a lot, after all, Yuhong will send money to the family every month.
However, there were two college students from my mother-in-law's family, which also caused a lot of sensation in the village, so many matchmakers wanted to say goodbye to Yuhong, but she refused.
I often persuade Yuhong that if I meet a good man, I can try to understand it, but Yuhong jokingly said, otherwise let me marry her.
But I didn't take it seriously, after all, it is common for sister-in-law to make fun of my brother-in-law, not to mention that we have been together for so many years, and there are still jokes.
Once I helped my mother-in-law go to the hospital to get medicine, and accidentally stepped on the empty stairs and fell and injured her leg.
When I went back to my mother-in-law's house, they were very distressed to see me, and even my mother-in-law started to cry with tears in her eyes, because that day, she found that my hair was all white.
Three days later, my mother-in-law called me to her house, and when I went to my mother-in-law's room, I found that Yuhong was also there, and then my mother-in-law choked up and said:
"Jianjun, you are now in your forties, and now you have no wife and children, and you have paid half your life for this family, and now I will marry Yuhong to you"
I was also very surprised to hear what my mother-in-law said, after all, I have always regarded Yuhong as a younger sister, both physically and psychologically, and I never thought of marrying her as a wife.
Yuhong saw that I didn't agree, and suddenly cried, "Brother-in-law, you agree! My sister is no longer here, let me take good care of you, and you have also paid for this family for so many years......"
At this time, I realized that Yuhong was no longer the little girl she was at the beginning, but a slim girl, both in appearance and diploma, she was very good.
Now that I am in my forties, how can I delay the sister-in-law in front of me? I decisively chose to refuse, but Yuhong knelt down for me, hoping that I would agree.
In fact, the reason why I take care of this family is for my wife's entrustment, and now that I am about to complete this last word, do I have to choose to leave?
A month later, I chose to marry a widow in the same village, and gave all my savings to my mother-in-law, and asked her family to bless us.
I remember that on the day of the wedding, Yuhong drank a lot of liquor, her mother-in-law was also happy and burst into tears, and Yugang also said a lot of words of thanks and blessings.
When Yuhong left, she wrapped me in a big red envelope and a letter, and when I opened the letter, tears blurred my eyes again......
"Brother-in-law, thank you for giving so many years to this family, in order not to burden us, you chose a widow who you don't love to marry.
I know sometimes you'll look at me quietly because there's something like my sister between my eyebrows, but you know, I'm not her after all.
Brother-in-law, if you regret it, I will wait for you at the entrance of the village, take you to the big city, stay away from this place, and let me love you instead of my sister!"
