He's forty years old and can't even support himself; he has to sell his daughter to survive.

Every year, there weren't enough work points, and even the per capita grain rations were owed to the brigade for famine.

You can't expect someone to rely on their older brother when they're young, and then rely on their child when they're old, right?

Isn't this life just a life of being a useless person?

Besides, haven't all his children severed ties with him?

From now on, there will be no obligation to support them.

Doesn't the brigade leader think about how he's going to live in the future?

You're willing to support your younger brother, so you can't wait until you're old to have him cause trouble and become a burden for your children, can you?

Gu Yunyang's string of words left Gu Hanping no opening whatsoever; he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Even though Gu Hansheng had a thick skin, he never expected that someone would belittle him like this in front of him.

But what they said turned out to be the truth.

"You..." Gu Hansheng wanted to refute, but he had no room for rebuttal at all.

He really wanted to say, "You unfilial son, I gave birth to you, so you have an obligation to support me."

However, it's still uncertain whether Gu Yunyang is his son.

Anyway, Gu Yunyang doesn't admit it.

He hasn't even acknowledged Gu Hanping and others, let alone himself as their father.

Gu Hanping opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

He really wanted to say that of course he felt sorry for his younger brother.

However, Gu Yunyang wasn't wrong. Could it be that he now has to give Gu Hansheng some money every year?

In the future, will this responsibility still be left to my son?

Judging from the expressions of her two sons, they were definitely unwilling.

Of course, objectively speaking, if I were in that situation, I probably wouldn't want to either.

After all, Gu Hansheng didn't have a good relationship with his three sons.

When he gets old, will his son really take care of this uncle in his old age?

And those nieces, if it were in the past, apart from the second daughter Gu Honghe being a bit rebellious, they probably wouldn't help take care of us in our old age.

The others are all rather timid, and are most likely willing to agree.

But now?

All four nieces have already established their own households and moved out on their own.

The likelihood of them actually taking care of Gu Hansheng in his old age has decreased significantly.

Gu Hanping remained silent, while Gu Hansheng grew anxious: "Secretary Gu, you're meddling too much in our family matters. My brother is willing..."

Gu Yunyang sneered, interrupting Gu Hansheng's disgusting words: "Even if your brother is willing, it's still not allowed. We are a socialist country, and everyone should contribute to social development."

People like you, who are habitually lazy and contribute nothing to society, waste social and national resources and harm national interests.

Our Red Flag Brigade must, of course, resist such people.

And you, brigade leader, do you still want to be rated as an outstanding brigade?

How can we be rated as an outstanding team with such poor performance?

Gu Hanping didn't care about anything else.

But when it comes to outstanding teams, Gu Hanping cares a lot.

People of this era place great importance on a sense of collective honor.

Gu Hansheng was also startled. Gu Yunyang always flattered him and gave him a bunch of titles.

If the commune members find out that he's cutting off the "tail" of socialism, he'll be in trouble.

Although that decade hasn't arrived yet, it's still not safe.

Is this person thinking they're living too well, and we're trying to dig a hole for them?

“Then…” Gu Hanping hesitated for a moment.

Gu Yunyang said, "Captain, think about it yourself. Even during the busy farming season, their family didn't earn many work points. The roof is just hastily put together now; if another typhoon comes, it'll collapse. Will they try to fix it then?"
