Chapter Twenty-Three: The Family Shadow

In the first few years of his parents' marriage, my father was always subject to his father and stepmother, when we were young, my father's salary was opened by my grandfather, because my grandfather and step-grandmother still had many children to support, so he only left my father a part of the living expenses, of course my mother refused, so my parents quarreled continuously, and my father had been suffering from splinting in those years.

In fact, this kind of thing, a woman can slowly pull a man to her side in a gentle way, because after all, we are a complete family, but how did my mother do it? She didn't use the most powerful female tender tricks, but quarreled with my father, and the quarrel was known to the neighbors, so that everyone in the family couldn't sleep at night, often in the middle of the night, the two of them quarreled, and then my mother began to ping pong and hit my father, and my father couldn't stand it anymore and fought back, and the two of them scuffled, and my brother and I cried and persuaded them to stop.

It was in this messy memory that my brother and I grew up slowly, and when we grew up, my grandfather's family stopped making trouble, but my parents' feelings were hurt, and my mother's temper was still so bad, but although my mother's temper was bad, her nature was still very kind, and my brother's wife who later married was simply a shrew.

Because the parents' relationship is not good, so the marriage of the children is not in place, when I was young, my brother was very good, handsome, the job was also good, and he was very promising in a large factory, he later married a woman in a hurry, and the parents did not say much, in fact, I think that when dealing with the marriage of children, sometimes the opinions of parents are very important, after all, they are from the past, and they can see people more accurately, but it is a pity that my parents who have been arguing for many years did not do this, and laid the bane for my brother's later life.

After the elder brother and the woman got married, the two of them were okay at first, but gradually the sister-in-law's true nature was exposed. At first, my brother's work was okay, and my sister-in-law found fault with him just because he had friends and other problems, but who doesn't have a few good buddies in a normal man? And my sister-in-law's way of dealing with it is very extreme, she just doesn't allow my brother to make friends after work, and the way of quarreling is better than my mother's, she can overturn the table where they drink in front of my brothers, she can hit my brother's head with a beer bottle, she can also stand on the street and scold for hours without stopping, such a woman, she still has a relatively glamorous job.

So my brother has been patient, and my parents' attitude is the same, since I have a child, just bear with it.

But this kind of marriage was originally buried with a time bomb, and later encountered the reform of state-owned enterprises, my brother's company laid off a large number of employees, my brother bought out, and since then he began to find things to do on his own, at this time my sister-in-law looked down on him even more, what was pushed out of bed in the middle of the night, scolding him for scolding the dog's blood, it was a common thing, but at that time although they were not in harmony, their small family was still maintained.

Later, on a winter night, my brother and a few relatives went out to do something, but they didn't expect to walk to a construction place, there was a trap, and I couldn't see it on the surface, but my brother fell into it, was seriously injured, and was disabled.

A few days after my brother was hospitalized, my sister-in-law took him home despite the doctor's resistance, and when we went to see him, my brother was grinning in pain in bed.

My sister-in-law crossed her waist and shouted at us unashamedly: "He has lost his ability to work, and he is still living in the hospital to burn money! I have no money to burn him! Come back and raise him, anyway, I will continue to live with him after he has been raised in three months, and if he can't raise him, he will divorce!"
