Is there a family with many brothers and sisters? What happened to them?
The fellow villager I was with was the last one to come out. She was in her forties when she came out. Before that, she had been raising children at home.
I have always wanted a boy, because I have four daughters in front of me, and I have been scolded by my parents-in-law for not having a boy. She is very strong. In desperation, she can only farm at home and do odd jobs nearby. I didn't have a younger son until I was 37.
In the meantime, her second brother asked her to come out and open a grocery store in the flea market, but she and her husband refused because of the children.
In these years, in their hometown, the couple have not been idle to open grocery stores, move bricks to brick factories and collect peppers. My younger brother and sister are away from home, and the children are still young, staying at home. She is the poorest of the six. She has many children, and her in-laws don't help to take care of everything. Fortunately, her home is close, and her brothers and sisters often take care of her and buy all kinds of things for her family and children from time to time. They are also very capable, not afraid of hardship and fatigue, and there is no shortage of materials.
Later, when the younger son reached school age, she also figured it out. As soon as the market opened here, the second brother gave her the facade. When I first came here, my skin was dark, like a man in his fifties. She has been exposed to the sun all the year round, and her face has long been engraved with deep marks by the years.
At that time, they had no funds to purchase goods. Her second brother bought the goods and sold them to her here, and then paid the money to her second brother. Sometimes you don't pay for hundreds of thousands of goods. However, they are also under great pressure. 15 years, her four children are still studying. The two eldest daughters went to college, one went to high school and the other went to primary school. All their money for going to college is applied for student loans.
They usually don't want to eat meat, and they don't want to wear meat. Every time we ask, she always says that her children don't like meat. Even jiaozi is a vegetarian dish, which is extremely economical.
But after years of hard work, with the help of brothers and sisters, their business is getting better every day, and their eldest daughter and second daughter have graduated from college one after another. Now, the remaining three daughters go to college, and the younger son has less pressure to go to junior high school. Their lives are getting better every day.
Her eldest brother works as the secretary of the township party Committee in the village, her eldest nephew works as a civil servant in her hometown city, and her younger nephew also has his own facade business in the subordinate city here. It was also at that time that her second brother brought it out and later followed her fourth brother.
The business of the second brother's family has always been good, and he is already a very famous figure in the local area. The boss of the third brother's family followed the fourth brother to the countryside to deliver goods, and the business was not bad every time.
Fourth brother's shop in the subordinate city has a bonus every year. There are also extra points for cart delivery here. She has bought a house in Zhengzhou and has a good life. My little sister has been doing business in Guilin for twenty or thirty years.
At that time, the third daughter was still in high school at home, the fourth sister-in-law was still in her hometown, and her daughter spent every holiday at her uncle's house.
Their whole family is really enviable. It seems that everyone has an affinity, and chatting with them will not hear a complaint.
On the surface, kindness can't be faked. If they don't really help each other, relatives will easily fail in case of interest disputes. Although they sometimes have contradictions in this respect, everyone will take a step back and solve it later. It doesn't affect each other, but hello, I'm good, everyone.
However, my husband's family is not so good. His aunt came here from her hometown to do business. She could have brought her brothers out, but there were no old people and children at home. Mother-in-law has been out for several months, and when she comes home, she can't bear to go out again when she sees the children busy doing things.
My father-in-law and my four brothers have been calculating that we can't let others live better than ourselves. Even the boss quarreled with my mother-in-law three times and five times, and finally wronged her mother-in-law for 4000 yuan. Later, my son couldn't come, and my daughter-in-law didn't worry about him.
So until now, their brothers are still guarding the land in their hometown and living a hard life.
Fortunately, my aunt brought her two nephews out, and the life of the next generation was much easier. Although doing business is not as easy as before, don't try to survive by working for others.
The mother-in-law educated her two sons well, and the two sons always thought of each other, because when they were young, they saw family conflicts caused by their father's disharmony, which made them deeply realize how difficult it is to maintain the feelings between brothers and sisters.
I am glad that I finally chose such a family. I believe that in the near future, our family will support each other, help each other and go further.
Therefore, as the old saying goes, the best feng shui of this family is mutual humility, harmony and mutual assistance between a good family and a family with everything.
