[RE]Weak blood relationship

Since Siukwan responses on my post; as a return present, I decided to write her a response post back. (Well, it is not the real reason :D)

When we first came here we have no house to live in nor have a car to travel around or a job, and we to depend heavily on my uncle. His wife wasn’t too happy with this; she thought we’re taking advantage of them. She brainwashed my uncle day and night on this and finally my uncle in her. My father and uncle got in a huge fight, and we moved out shortly afterwards.

I had been in an exactly same situation before. Put more precisely, my dad was the one who experienced all. My dad moved to America two years earlier than me and mom; he was planed to lay a solid foundation for us so that we may face less problems. Just like Siukwan’s family, my father has not thing and depend heavily on my aunt. He worked for my aunt as a kitchen staff. It is one of the most tiring jobs and my dad got paid even less than the lowest wage. My father refused to be dictated; therefore he moved out after the first week and lived with my uncle instead. However, the worst is yet to come.

The lucky thing is my uncle found my dad a job, but it is in Fremont. My dad did not own a car back then, so he needed to take bus 51 and then changed to Bart. Everything was fine just up to this point. My uncle’s wife, just like in Siukwan’s case, thought my dad was taking advantage of them. She played my uncle off against my father: another mere coincidence. She began to prepare less food for my dad and being cruel to him. Once my father wanted to take the tests for driver’s license, my uncle told other that my father must failed, no matter how many times he took it. In fact, my dad passed both written test and driving test with only one shot. Considering the safety and warranty, my dad decided to buy a new car rather than a second-handed car. And my uncle started “How are you going to afford a brand new car for being a new immigrant you fool, why don’t you just pack your stuff and go back to China?” Finally, my dad can bear no more and rent a house himself.

It is surprising how weak the bond among people with blood relationship is. People always said that human is the superior animal, then why do people always fight against each other just like the wild animal does.
