My sister's life was so tragic that she didn't even get tired of it.
There was a period of time after giving birth to my baby that I felt like I was falling into a state of depression. The appearance of a child caused too many changes in my life and I couldn't adapt immediately.
During that time, every time she came to visit me and my nephew, my sister would smile bitterly and encourage me that, even in a tragic life like hers, she was not depressed, so I should use that as motivation to live.
My sister's life was so tragic that she didn't even get tired of it.
Before my sister got married, she was always known for her bright smile and bright eyes. She was an extrovert, good at communication and very active in social activities.
No one would believe that just one marriage would be enough to turn her into a completely different person. She not only had to be a mother and a father, but also the economic pillar, shouldering all the family expenses, from the children's education to the debts her husband had borrowed.
Her husband, the man who should normally be a solid support for his wife and children, became a source of worry, even fear, when not only did he not contribute any effort, but he also frequently borrowed money without any way to repay it.
All the burden fell on my sister's shoulders, making her life always in dire straits, not even knowing what tomorrow would bring.
More painfully, she had to endure her husband's selfish actions when he had no intention of working to earn money to support his life and constantly put financial pressure on her.
It's not that my sister can't earn money, she even has a decent income but it's nothing compared to the expenses she has to bear. 2 small children to study and a useless husband.
When her eldest child was 6, she filed for divorce, the court had already decided, but the man still kept clinging to her. The house she and her children were currently living in was a bit of a hassle, so she couldn't leave. If she left, she would lose everything, but if she stayed, her ex-husband would constantly bother her every day.
How can a woman who has to raise a child and shoulder the debt left by her husband avoid borrowing money, taking from one place to make up for another? My sister is not a superwoman and she is forced to borrow money. Even though she works like hell every day, she cannot pay off her debt immediately.
That day, he got drunk somewhere and then went to her house to beg for money. After being unsuccessful, he did not hesitate to call the creditor to come and collect the money on the first day of the month.
I don't know what he was bragging about to the creditors, but they thought my sister had a lot of money but was deliberately not paying, so they came and made a big fuss at her place of business.
Having to witness my sister struggling with debt, her eyes dark from working day and night without rest, I didn't know what to do.
It seemed that all her efforts could not help her escape the vicious circle of fate.
My sister not only faced the harshness of life but also had to endure the judgmental looks and bad gossip from the neighbors.
People often have an unsympathetic view of women who have to shoulder life alone. They do not understand the silent sacrifices and extraordinary determination that she is going through.
But life is funny, when there is a topic to talk about, people just talk without caring how their entertaining gossip will hurt others.
However, my sister seemed to have gotten used to not being understood, not being shared with, and always having to stand on her own.
Her husband is a good-for-nothing, but her husband's family is no less respectful. Her children are good-for-nothing, but that family never sees the problem of revenge and always thinks that since my sister is a daughter-in-law, she has to take care of her husband's family. If her husband has debts, she has to try to shoulder them for him. If she can't do it and leaves her husband, she is a good-for-nothing woman.
Of course, my sister has long since stopped caring about what kind of person she is in the eyes of those people, but sometimes their venomous words really affect her and her children's lives. Like the recent time, she had a regular wholesale customer who suddenly stopped buying from her.
After asking around, she found out that her ex-mother-in-law had gone all the way to their house to defame her ex-daughter-in-law. She didn't know if she believed her or if they were annoyed and found another source to get the goods.
To the point that after so many years of separation, we still cannot make peace with our husband's family. It's not that we don't find a way to deal with this, but it's extremely difficult to deal with this kind of person.
When I reported it to the police, they only did what was within their authority. Every time he did that, he was fine for a while and then continued his old tricks. Now my sister doesn't even bother to react anymore, letting him do whatever he wants.
But life is getting more and more deadlocked for her, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on...
