Chapter 699 One Shouldn’t Be Too Selfless

The old lady believed that once her children graduated and started working, they would finally have an easy life and enjoy their blessings. Little did she know that things would take a different turn after her children entered the workforce.

“My eldest son failed to pass the civil service exam. He blamed the lack of connections in our family and insisted on using personal connections during the second attempt. His father even gave him a sum of 100,000…

However, despite spending that amount of money, all he managed to secure was a position at the rural grassroots level. Eventually, he quit and returned home, complaining about the low pay and the hardships of staying in the countryside for an indefinite period, with no hope in sight.

“When my second son got married, the bride’s family insisted that he should come to their house for the wedding. We thought it would be tough for a young man like him, to face hardships and be looked down upon. We disagreed, but he refused to break up with her and insisted on buying a house. Without buying a house, there would be no marriage.

“Eventually, we did buy a house for my second son. After all, it was their custom for the parents to buy a house for the son’s marriage, and many families followed this tradition.”

“Unfortunately, just two years after the marriage, my second son got divorced, and the house went to his ex-wife.”

Later, when he remarried, he once agam had to follow the custom of going to the bride’s house. They had no choice but to agree, giving him money, and with the help of his father-in-law, he managed to secure a house of his own.

Lilly interjected, “Well, it seems like you have a lot of money.

Observing the old lady’s dying process, she had assumed they were financially struggling. Little did she know that they could afford to give their eldest son 100,000 for personal connections and buy a house for their second son. In the end, each of the children also received their share of the family property.

“What about your daughter and youngest son?” Josh asked.

The old lady sighed, “When we gave 100,000 to our eldest son for personal connections, our daughter refused us to do that. When we bought a house for our second son, she didn’t want us to do that either. She kept saying too much and became angry, and then both of my sons turned against her, accusing her, a girl, of fighting for a share of the family property.”

This sparked a heated argument among the siblings. The daughter felt it was unfair and that she had done so much without receiving anything, while the sons wished to claim the entirety of the family assets.

Lilly nodded, “It’s a complicated situation!”

Based on what she had heard, the sons always found excuses to avoid work and focused on studying. The daughter harbored resentment in her heart but still helped her parents with their chores.

She probably thought her brothers were unreliable.

The old lady’s face turned bitter, “We never favored boys over girls. In those days, people believed that education was useless for girls. But we clenched our teeth and sent her to high school. When she didn’t pass the college entrance exam, we paid for her to attend a vocational college…
