My sister-in-law was stunned, her expression strange. Not long after, my cousin was moved to the ward. He was in a daze, moaning in pain. "Bitch, you're so cruel."
Damn, bitch?
Is my cousin scolding my sister-in-law?
Before he died, he couldn't get her to have an abortion as he wished?!
That shouldn't be the case. My cousin is a heartless person. My sister-in-law has sacrificed her youth for him. She took out her savings of around two hundred thousand. She's already doing her best. My sister-in-law just wants to be a normal mother. That shouldn't be too much, right?
"Cousin, who are you talking about?" I asked curiously. He didn't seem to hear me as he kept staring at the ceiling.
Sigh, the doctor said that there's no hope. No matter how big a mistake a person has made, he should be respected at the end of his life. Moreover, my cousin's life has been filled with tragedies. Ever since he molested a girl and got kicked, he was destined to not have a good ending.
After all, my uncle only had one precious son. He had been spoiled since he was young and didn't need him to stand out. As long as he could continue the family line and give birth to a chubby little boy, it would be considered a great achievement. However, to my cousin, this was nonsense. He kept delaying it. At first, my sister-in-law hid this matter. However, as the husband and wife didn't get along well, it was inevitable that there would be some arguments. As time passed, my cousin's temper became more and more violent. He would hit and scold her, causing the marriage to gradually break down. Coincidentally, I appeared. Although I was a few years younger than him, my performance in all aspects had won my sister-in-law's favor. It also formed a sharp contrast.
She had a good impression of me, and together with my desire, we had this unspeakable and unconventional relationship.
Although it was sad, there was no turning back now. I suddenly realized a problem. My uncle was about to arrive in Yun City. He was the one who was grieving the most. Now that my cousin was gone, I could only rely on my sister-in-law to continue the family line.
I was conflicted. What should I do? Keep hiding it?
I didn't think it was a good idea. It was obvious that my sister-in-law had the same concerns. She pulled me to the corridor.
She lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Feng, when your uncle comes, don't talk nonsense. Look at my eyes."
"Yes."
I readily agreed. This was their family matter, and it wasn't convenient for me to butt in. I didn't want to arouse my uncle's suspicion. He used to be the Village Head, and he was like a shrewd man. Last time, when my sister-in-law was pregnant, not only did he go to an acquaintance's clinic for a checkup, but he also made her swear. Fortunately, she was pregnant with my flesh and blood, so she could be considered a child of the old Zhuang family. My uncle had calculated everything, but he hadn't expected this. No wonder when he left, my cousin comforted my sister-in-law and said that it was hard for her.
After all, sister-in-law was an honest woman. It was not easy to make a vow without batting an eyelid.
"Sigh, I'm not sure if he knows. You've been so meticulous to me that you've long surpassed the boundaries of an uncle and a sister-in-law." Sister-in-law sighed softly, feeling a little melancholy.
It was true. When I found out that the child was my flesh and blood, I couldn't help but protect her. It was a feeling that came from the bottom of my heart, and it surpassed the status of a girlfriend.
Previously, I blamed my sister-in-law for not telling me earlier. I was so depressed that I thought I had lost all hope. Now, I understood that she had many concerns. First of all, she didn't want to give me too much pressure. Secondly, she was afraid that I would accidentally spill the beans. This young man was hot-tempered, and if everyone knew about it, I would be labeled as an adulterer. Perhaps it would be better in the city, but if it spread to the village, my parents would be ashamed.
Moreover, if sister-in-law kept hiding it, it would be difficult. At least, I wouldn't be so shameless as to ask about her well-being. I also knew how to keep a proper distance. My cousin wouldn't care about her life or death. If I kept a distance from her, sister-in-law wouldn't have the courage to give birth to a child.
Because she felt my feelings, she didn't want me to be sad. She mustered up a lot of courage and told me all her cards. However, there were also many thorny problems.
Originally, I helped my cousin bear the debt of more than one million yuan, and he must be grateful. In the future, I would arrange a down-to-earth job, not get involved in gambling, and live a normal life. That would also be good. When the time was right, I would give him a sum of money and explain the specific situation. With his temper, he should be happy to accept it.
In the end, my plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and my cousin encountered a natural disaster … For the first time, I understood what it meant by the impermanence of the world. When I was a child, my cousin didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he had all kinds of toys. I envied him to death, and I always looked forward to having a young master's life like him. When I was in my teens, I heard my parents talking about how capable my cousin was. He had settled down in Yuncheng and bought a house. They also set such a goal for me. But now, they still didn't know that I inexplicably bore my cousin's debt. He was debt-free. Speaking of which, I still owed Tu Fangfang 1.6 million yuan. Of course, as long as I could defeat Zhao Wente, this amount of money was nothing. Even if my cousin didn't pay me back, the debt would fall on sister-in-law's head after his death. After all, they were legally married.
My growth was witnessed by my cousin. He envied me for having a beautiful, fair, rich, and beautiful girlfriend like Liu Jie. He envied me for being able to hook up with a ruthless person like Brother Long. In the end, he could only leave with regrets.
After so many years, I finally understood my father and mother's good intentions. It was precisely because they were strict with me that I became tenacious and indomitable. At least, no matter what I encountered, I would always face it positively, instead of thinking of ways to avoid it.
Soon, sister-in-law's phone rang. It was my uncle. She hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. "Hey, hurry up and tell me which ward he's in!"
My uncle's impatient tone was heart-wrenching. "He's on the sixth floor of the inpatient department, Ward 607."
Not long after, my uncle appeared in the corridor. His eyes were red and swollen. He couldn't suppress his anxiety and anger. He walked around us and entered the ward next door.
Seeing my cousin's miserable state, he wailed. "My son, can you hear me?"
Sister-in-law and I couldn't help but walk in. We lowered our heads and looked sad. "Fengzi, what did the doctor say?" My uncle turned around and grabbed my hand.
Actually, I felt very sad. I didn't know how to tell him that if it was my parents, they would also feel the same sadness when they saw their son die.
"Uncle, the doctor said that there's no hope for my cousin. He'll die in one or two days." I pursed my lips and looked sad.
