Leaving her weird mother-in-law and husband, she became a wealthy woman on her own

Sijun's mother became even more excited after hearing what Manxian said: "Yes! Yes! You must contribute. It turns out that you also understand this truth. Yes! You must contribute to the family instead of just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor. Although this house is rented, it is also quite good. It is better than a house bought for millions to live in."

Manxian knew what Sijun's mother meant. It was nothing more than telling her not to always rely on her husband's family to buy her a house. At least she had to pay enough to satisfy Sijun's parents, and then they would be able to provide some financial support.

Sijun's mother continued, "People of our generation are those who work diligently for their families all their lives without asking for anything in return."

"You guys, really don't want anything in return?" Man Xian asked directly without showing any weakness.

"We certainly don't ask for anything in return. I have cared for Sijun since he was a child and often went home to visit him on weekends."

"What? You use the weekend to go home and see him?" This sentence surprised Man Xian. "You don't live with him?"

"No, I live with my parents, Sijun's grandparents."

This question completely aroused Man Xian's curiosity: "Who does Sijun live with? As a mother, why don't you live with your son?"

"Sijun lives with his father, oh, no, Sijun lives with your fathers, grandparents."

Man Xian was full of doubts. "Then why don't you live with Sijun and the others? Shouldn't mother and son live together? Oh, are you afraid of conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Or is it because of some conflicts that you don't live together?"

After asking this question, Sijun's mother avoided his gaze and did not give a direct answer. After more than ten seconds, she said: "This is something that happened in the past. It's a long story and hard to explain in one sentence..."

After saying that, Sijun's mother hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the next day.

That night, Sijun was busy in the office when he suddenly received a call from his father.

He picked up the phone, only to hear his father's tone on the other end seem not so happy.

"Sijun, your wife is really ignorant. You've already gotten married and obtained your marriage certificate, but she still calls your mom 'Auntie'. What does this mean? Tell her right away that she must change her name to 'Dad' and 'Mom'! This is a matter of basic principle, do you understand?!"

"Oh, oh, okay, I'll talk to her." Sijun answered helplessly in a low voice.

"You know what? Your mother is very angry! She called me and told me that when you picked her up this afternoon, Man Xian still called her 'Auntie'! What on earth does this girl mean? You must talk to her right away, understand!!"

"Okay...Okay...I'll talk to her."

"Okay, I'm glad you understand this principle. You're busy, so that's it for now!" After saying that, Sijun's father hung up the phone.

After receiving the call, Sijun was completely out of shape. He casually did some work and then took the bus back to Manxian and his mother.

Manxian and Sijun were lying on the bed. Sijun was thinking about how to talk to Manxian about changing his words. Manxian asked him first: "You didn't live with your mother when you were a child. What happened?"

Sijun said: "This is something that happened to their previous generation. To be more precise, it is some grudges between my parents and my grandparents."

"What's the grudge? What's the root cause?"

"It's about my last name," Sijun said. "My grandparents have two daughters, my mom and my aunt. They have always hoped to have a son-in-law who would live with them and give birth to a child with the last name of the Lin family to carry on the family line. My mom is the eldest, so my grandparents hope that my dad can be their son-in-law."

"How is that possible! Your grandparents will never agree. Your father is their only son! If he becomes someone else's son-in-law, what will happen to your Xu family?" Man Xian said.

"Yes! But my grandparents are both very strong people. My parents got married because they were old, and the elders from both families were urging them to get married. In addition, they were introduced by a friend, but they did not reach a unified opinion on the issue of offspring.

Therefore, my birth represented the outbreak of a family surname war between the two families. I don’t know the specific process, but I only know that my grandparents won and let me follow my father’s surname.

But how could my grandparents be willing to accept this? Later, my mother's sister, my aunt, got married. Her only condition for marriage was to find a man who was willing to let the child take her surname. She found such a man, who is now my uncle. They gave birth to a son, which made my grandparents very happy. The child also took their family name as they wished.

However, my aunt and uncle both worked in other places and were very busy. What should I do? My mother stayed with my grandparents to take care of my aunt's son, who was my cousin.

Man Xian's eyes widened: "Your mother didn't take care of you, but your cousin! In other words, she didn't take care of her own son, but took care of other people's sons!!"

Sijun said, "Well... I guess so... Anyway, as far as I can remember, I have lived with my dad and grandparents since I was a child. My dad is very busy at work, so I usually live with my grandparents."

Man Xian suddenly realized: "No wonder you have such a deep relationship with your grandparents. Also, when I first came to your house and met your parents, I felt that you and your mother seemed to be strangers to each other, and your parents seemed to be strangers to each other as well."

Man Xian continued to ask: "So, what happened next? When did your mother live with you again?"

"My mother raised my cousin until he started middle school, and then my aunt took him home to attend middle school. But my mother continued to live with my grandparents and did not come over. Because as the eldest in the family, she had to support the elderly."

"But... don't we have your aunt and uncle as live-in son-in-law? And your mother has raised their children for so many years, why do you want her to continue to support the elderly?"

"How could my uncle admit that he was a live-in son-in-law? How ugly it sounded. He just let the child take the surname of the Lin family. And my uncle would never agree to support the elderly. In the end, my mother took care of everything. It was not until last year when my grandfather passed away and my mother's parents left that she came to live with us."

Sijun sighed and continued, "But, after living there for less than three months, my grandmother fell ill. So for me, I only enjoyed a family of five with my parents and grandparents for less than three months in my thirty years of life. Of course, there was a period of time when I was just born, but I was too young at the time and don't remember it."

Man Xian said in disbelief: "Oh my God! How can you treat your own son like this!"
