Chapter 1083: The Fourth Repayment
In the end, soon after my elder sister got married, her husband became sick and pa.s.sed away. In the end, we found out that he had already been ill when they got married. The marriage was just for a dash of happiness. When my elder sister married in my stead, the other partys family members agreed without any complaints. However, my sister is stubborn. Despite knowing that she was going to be a bride for only a short time, she didnt say anything to the family. It wasnt until that man died that people found out. The familys faces changed, and they blamed my elder sister for everything. They would say that she was bad luck and the reason why that man died so quickly. If he had married me, then perhaps he wouldnt have died.
Because of this, my mothers family and that family were furious with each other. They broke off years of friends.h.i.+p. My parents bought my elder sister back home. At that time, I had already married your grandfather as I had wished and was living happily every day. However, when I saw other people criticizing my elder sister, I could no longer bear it. After all, she had married in my stead. Therefore, I asked your grandfather to see if there he knew of any suitable friends to be introduced to my elder sister so that she could live a good life.
However, my elder sister rejected the man that your grandfather introduced her to. She said that she didnt like business people and wanted an intellectual family. In reality, I knew that she just didnt want to lower her head to me, as her younger sister and didnt want to accept my good intentions. After all, she is quite stubborn.
Madame Ruan sighed heavily, her eyes full of pain. This is something that I owe my elder sister for. Afterward, the family introduced her to a college lecturer, and my elder sister married him. Afterward, this lecturer was sent to another college, and he was promoted to professor. At that time, my elder sister was especially happy. Whenever she spoke, her words were full of pride and arrogance. She and her husband moved to City S, and we spoke less. From what she told me, her husband was a college professor and their family was an intellectual family with a literary reputation. Therefore, she could not accept a business familys repulsive stench.
I dont blame her for saying this. After all, I owed her in the past. As long as she is happy, she can say anything she wants. After all, I dont lose anything from her words.
Upon hearing this, Ling Tianya now understood why Madame Ruan was patient and forgiving towards her elder sister and her family.
This time, my elder sister says that they are here to visit me. However, I know that in reality, they must be in a tight spot and therefore are seeking shelter from me. My brother in law died early. You know that in intellectual families with a literary reputation, there is nothing left when a person dies, besides a couple of books, calligraphy and paintings as well as a considerable amount of funeral expenses. My elder sister used the money that she had from selling the calligraphy and paintings as well as the money that her husband had in his savings and his funeral expenses to support her son and find her son a wife. They were still able to live their days. Her son is mature, and he continued his fathers legacy and also became a college professor. However, not only was his job the same as his fathers, even his sickness was the same as his fathers, and he died a couple of years ago. fewebnve.com
Right now, only the three of them are left. I dont know what happened to them, however, for her to let go of her morals and conduct and to come and seek shelter from me must mean that they are at their ropes end. Well count this as me returning the favor she did for me in the past. This time, I need to take them in and treat them well.
