Diary of a halfway couple

My sister died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage on the 28th of October, 2009, that is, on the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve, and the rescue was ineffective.

I came to Jiacheng from the capital thousands of miles away to attend my sister's funeral.

Since then, my sister's voice, smile and figure have all died.

There is only one brother-in-law left in my sister's family, and their son has a family account.

After returning to Beijing, I called my brother-in-law and nephew from time to time to express my condolences and ask about their mental state and diet.

I know in my heart that the saddest thing about my sister's death is her son, but her son is not alone. He is accompanied by his wife and daughter.

And my brother-in-law, who lives alone. I don't know how lonely or even sad his sister's departure will bring to his heart.

But I understand that my brother-in-law will not be lonely after all, and he will find another new love. My sister who is always lonely is lying in the cold cemetery.

A few months later, maybe five or six months later, my sister-in-law called me and said that my brother-in-law had moved in with another woman.

My sister-in-law knew the news, but my brother-in-law didn't tell her on her own initiative.

Sister-in-law has a girlfriend but no husband. I wonder if the man is dead or divorced.

Sister-in-law wants to hook up with her brother-in-law She became a nephew first and then introduced to her brother-in-law. Only then did she know that her brother-in-law had been remarried.

When did it happen? I don't know. It seems that my sister has been gone for more than three months. It can also be said that the bones are not cold, even less than half a year.

Hehe, if you leave before, people will find new lovers later. How many couples have had one-night stands in the past 30 years, and all of them have vanished.

According to my brother-in-law's wife, she came in July 2009. Her story doesn't seem to agree with what I heard, but I don't think she needs to hide it.

The second wife said that when she first came, her brother-in-law dragged her into the house as soon as she went out, for fear that others would see her, and her ex-wife left for too short a time.

What's the point? You are already in bed with another woman, so why don't you worry that your dead wife will die?

Men think about women, not their dead wives. As long as they are women, no matter who they are, they can quench their thirst and stay with them without thinking about the dead.

If this later woman dies, won't the man go to the third and fourth woman while her bones are still cold?

In short, men don't live alone, and men are not good things, right?

I naturally feel sorry for my sister. She didn't enjoy any happiness, but paid the price of her life. When she was alive, she fought for her family and took care of men. After her death, the man left her in a forgotten corner.

However, it is their right and freedom to find other women. Unfortunately, the bones are not cold.

Use my sister's kindness, use my nephew's blood, and even use my sister's decades of comings and goings to continue with my brother-in-law. Maybe it's a memorial to my dead sister.

On October 20th, 2009, my husband and I came to Jiacheng from Beijing. I called my brother-in-law and told him that we had arrived.

My brother went directly from Dalian to Beijing to meet us.

My brother-in-law met us at the railway station and arranged a reception for us at the hotel.

My brother-in-law's stepmother is also here. This is the first time we have met.

My second wife is taller than my sister and wears rural clothes. She is indeed a rural person, from other places, and I am a colleague.

Later, we went out with my brother-in-law and gradually got to know my stepwife. She is the hostess of her sister's family.

Shortly after my sister died, my brother-in-law and my stepmother met.

My brother-in-law's second sister and my late wife's aunt lived in my present position at that time. It is said that my brother-in-law's second sister told me about her brother-in-law's death by chance, and her aunt naturally thought of her niece's celibacy.

So, they matched the bridge, and the brother-in-law and stepmother became half-way couples.

Before my wife retired, she hired a substitute and went to my sister's house alone.

In this way, they began the husband and wife life for the rest of their lives.

According to their later contact, they got along well and never quarreled. In the words of the second wife, they were "never leaving".

According to my observation, my brother-in-law likes his second wife very much and always tells her jokes and expresses her praise in words.

My wife likes to wander around. Soon after she came to Jiacheng, she walked around and became familiar with the basic route of Jiacheng. My brother-in-law praised her.

This stepwife, judging from her good character, is steady and peaceful, not angry or sour.

After the wife and nephew get along, they seem to be in harmony.

According to my wife, my brother-in-law pays for the living expenses at home, even if I buy things, it is very limited.

After she came for half a year, she went to a unit as a worker. Two years later, she retired. My brother-in-law also retired and worked as a worker in a unit.

My wife's pension and my current employer's salary are more than 3 thousand, and my brother-in-law's pension and current salary are also more than 3 thousand.

Perhaps, when my brother-in-law took a fancy to her, her income was also a very important factor.

I don't know why my brother-in-law's wife doesn't lose money and manages the expenses at home alone. This is a very important question. My brother-in-law didn't care, didn't complain, and recognized her.

I'm afraid it wasn't like this when my sister was alive, was it?

When we went to my brother-in-law's house, we saw him cooking in the kitchen and didn't stay to leave my stepwife alone.

The year before last, they moved into a new building from the bungalow where they had lived for many years. The second wife said, I want to live in a building. My brother-in-law realized her wish.

A few months after moving into the new building, they can use natural gas at home. But later my wife said she didn't dare to use it, and my brother-in-law used it for cooking.

What my brother-in-law didn't think and do when my sister was alive, now my brother-in-law can think and do.

My sister is an ambitious person.

She is ingenious and can do housework. Nothing she can't do, nothing she can't do, nothing she can't do well.

My brother-in-law was very happy when my sister was alive. It is rare to see my brother-in-law enter the kitchen and my sister cook. It's delicious.

My sister is a restless person and can't compare with my brother-in-law. She would rather be tired alone than her brother-in-law.

My sister and brother-in-law have lived together for 30 years. They founded a family business and built three or four houses with a handful of dirt and a blank space, which changed the face of poverty.

Coupled with their hard work and thrift, they are as rich as an enemy today. If those three or four bungalows are moved, it will be a lot of property.

However, my sister died prematurely without enjoying a day!

In other words, my sister paid so much, what did she get?

Now, this half-way monk's wife enjoys the happiness that her sister didn't enjoy and is taken care of by her sister.

The same woman, the same wife and the same brother-in-law have completely different endings, which is really touching.

My brother-in-law is really affectionate to his second wife and even wants to ruin his promise to his children and grandchildren.

However, there is still a difference between such a halfway couple and a married couple. Even the so-called "non-separation" of his wife later has essential differences.

For example, their salaries are not put together and no one manages them.

What is salary? It is money. Money, what it is, is blood, capital for survival and an important link.

When my sister was alive, she and her brother-in-law's money were put together, managed by her sister alone, and the savings at home were also managed by her sister alone.

In a word, my brother-in-law is more interested in his second wife than his late ex-wife, although they have taken care of each other for many years.

The couple were friendly halfway, and the second wife was satisfied with her second marriage. I have heard her hum, which is undoubtedly the external expression of satisfaction and happiness.

Although there are some regrets, I still hope that my brother-in-law's half-way husband and wife will live a happy life. After all, my sister died. My brother-in-law can't live without his partner for the rest of his life. It is also a good thing to have a partner.

As long as they live well, as long as they and their children care about each other, it is our greatest happiness!

My brother-in-law continues with us, which is the best commemoration for my sister.
