Chapter 188 The Unjust Sister 2
“Your two brothers will always remember your hard work. When you get married, Dad, your brother, and I will also work hard to earn you a generous dowry. Let you marry into your husband’s family happily.”
Under Mama Zhong’s painstaking brainwashing and coercion, the original owner had to drop out of school and find a job, working at Grandpa Zhao’s steamed bun shop for twenty yuan a month.
I have to get up at three o'clock in the morning to knead flour and steam steamed buns, and I have to get off work at two o'clock in the afternoon.
When I get home at two o'clock, I still have to wash the family's clothes, wash pots, dishes, and clean... Because Zhong's mother talks about her poor health every day, she can't do any housework except gluing matchboxes. , only the original trunk.
The rice bowl that the family eats for breakfast and lunch is also waiting for the original owner to come home to clean it.
In the morning, before going to work, the original owner had to prepare meals for his family in advance. Although he just cooked a pot of porridge and cut some pickle strips, cooking porridge takes time, so he wanted to get up an hour earlier.
At night, Mother Zhong would take the original owner to pick up the matchbox together. The original owner could not go to bed until nine o'clock.
Every time the original owner paid her salary, Zhong Ma always had various excuses to take away all her money.
Zhong Guoqiang repeated his studies for three years but failed to pass the high school entrance examination. Later, Zhong’s father sent him to a friend’s new barber shop to learn how to cut hair.
This year, the original owner was twenty-one years old, and girls her age had already married, but Zhong’s father and mother Zhong never mentioned the original owner’s marriage.
Zhong Guoqiang learned hairdressing for half a year and then fell in love with a girlfriend. Zhong’s mother said that the girl’s bride price was too high and the family could not afford it. She found a part-time job for the original owner, washing dishes in a restaurant at six o’clock in the evening. to nine o'clock.
"Just in time, you came home from get off work at the steamed bun shop, finished your work, and then went to work in the restaurant. I made an agreement with the boss. For ten yuan a month, I will also take care of your dinner. From now on, you will have dinner. There’s no need to eat it at home.”
In this way, the original owner’s work at night turned into washing dishes in a restaurant.
A year later, Zhong Guoqiang finally married his wife.
The original owner thought that with her sister-in-law, someone would finally be able to help her with some of the housework. Unexpectedly, Mother Zhong said, "Yuan Chun, your sister-in-law has just come in. I can't instruct people to work, so you should work harder and wash your sister-in-law's clothes together."
After having a sister-in-law, the original owner not only did not relax, but also increased the burden.
She wanted to quit her job as a dishwasher, but Mother Zhong said, "Your younger brother also wants to find a wife. Our family is poor, so we can only work hard for you for a few years. Just wait until your younger brother gets married." ”
Two years later, my younger brother also got married.
However, the little sister is also older.
The younger sister has always been pampered and has never done much housework. In order to prevent her from being disliked by her husband's family, Zhong's mother said that she would buy more compensation for the younger sister.
So, the original owner had to continue to work hard to make money.
When the younger brothers and sisters got married and started a business, and the original owner was almost thirty years old, Zhong’s mother said, “Yuan Chun, you have worked hard all these years. You are a good big sister. Mom thanks you. Mom also found a baby for you. He lives in a good family.”
The other party is a forty-year-old widower who is married and has two sons.
Zhong Ma said, "Yuan Chun, you are almost thirty. At such an old age, Mom can only find you a married man. Mom has tried her best, but don't worry, although this man is a little older, But he has good character, and my mother has asked about him.”
“Yuan Chun, you also know. Your little sister just got married, and the family has spent all the money to buy her dowry. Mom can only buy you a new set of clothes. This is borrowed from your Aunt Zhao. Your Aunt Zhao said that she will use your salary. ”
