Violet Richter didn't even lift her head, "Yvonne, since we've come to this point, let's talk about it today. Don't act like the Richter family owes you money. Your father came to work for us, and we paid him. If we didn't pity him, how could we give him this lucrative job? Who knew he would be so careless?"
She waved her hand several times in disgust.
I was filled with anger, and tears fell involuntarily.
My dad used to be a well-known tile worker in the county, but later he injured his waist and had less work.
Other workers at least charged 500 dollars a day, but my dad worked for the Richter family for more than 20 days and only asked for 1000 dollars.
I felt sorry for my dad, but my dad persuaded me, "We are all family, it doesn't matter if they don’t pay me, as long as they treat you well!"
But even until he died, my in-laws never treated him as a family.
Even I was an insignificant and easily manipulated object to them.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Felix Richter can choose not to go, but Stella must go. That's her grandfather!"
After saying that, I hurried back to the room, thinking about how to tell Felix about this while my phone rang again.
Frank, [I'm useless now that I'm old. My words are not important in the eyes of my children and grandchildren. Felix, if you want to go, just go. Don't worry about our life and death.]
Aunt, Olive Richter, [Brother, you are too cowardly. How dare your daughter-in-law offend you? According to reason, a married girl is a member of the in-laws. You shouldn’t interfere in the affairs of your original family. Do you teach her a lesson? @Violet]
Violet, [Yvonne won’t listen to us. We can't intervene. Everyone, let's turn the page on this matter. Stop talking about it.]
Olive, [I can't tolerate. How dare they compete with us for land?]
Uncle Jack Richter came out to mediate, [Olive, watch your words.]
Competing for land?
Oh.
I finally realized that they didn't want Felix to go back with me, not because of any custom, but because they didn't want him to pay for my dad's burial.
If it were before, I would definitely be so angry that I would cry.
After all, as a housewife for ten years, I had to ask my husband for every penny.
They simply thought that if they stopped Felix from going back with me, it would be difficult for my dad to be buried, and Olive would be able to get a free burial plot as she wished.
