Erzhuang absolutely refused; he was supporting his daughter's education, and no one else could interfere.

Aunt Wei is using that suicide ploy again.

This time, Erzhuang did not compromise. He picked up his elder brother's son and walked towards the river: If we're going to die, we'll die together!

He was a useless son, but he couldn't let his mother travel alone, so he accompanied her.

His mother doted on her eldest grandson, so a whole bunch of them went with him.

Could Aunt Wei stop her strong and healthy second son? She had no choice but to shout for help, and it was the others who helped stop him.

Dazhuang was about to make a move, but the others pulled him away...

Thinking of all this again, Aunt Wei wanted nothing more than to strangle Liu Shuhong! Her second son used to be so obedient! He changed completely after getting married. Especially after the family property was divided, all the money was in Liu Shuhong's hands. Aunt Wei had no say in how she got that money; she was unwilling to accept it…

Erzhuang went to work, and his eldest daughter, Wei Qiu, went to school, so his son was left in his mother's care. Aunt Wei particularly disliked this grandson because he looked like his mother.

She let her look after the child for a day, and then she hit her grandson.

Wei Erzhuang felt sorry for his son when he saw the bruises on his body, so he didn't go to work for several days and stayed at home with his son.

Aunt Wei couldn't sit still at home. If her second son didn't go to work and earn work points, wouldn't he have no money by the end of the year? It would also be difficult for her eldest grandson to go to school.

They can't afford to support their grandson anymore; their house was smashed to pieces, and their clothes were burned. These things all need to be bought, right? They won't be able to pay back the money they owe the village this year.

As for whether the debt can be paid off by next year, that's hard to say.

So they relied on Erzhuang to earn work points, and at the end of the year, they would distribute the money to support their eldest grandson's education.

The thought of the famine in her family made her hate Liu Shuhong again, and she felt a burning hatred in her teeth.

Aunt Wei went straight to Er Zhuang's house.

"What's the point of a grown man like you staying at home instead of going to work?" Aunt Wei cursed through gritted teeth as soon as she entered the door.

“We’ve already separated the family, so what does it matter to you whether I’m home or not?” Erzhuang said.

"You beast, did you spring out of a crack in a rock?"

"What does this have to do with you? Don't you know? Your brother-in-law and his sister-in-law smashed up the house like that, and you're still starving even though you're not making any money?" Aunt Wei scolded.

"You chose to live like that at home, but who told you to hit my wife?"

"Your family owes a debt from the famine, don't expect me to repay it." Erzhuang looked at him as if he were a stranger.

"You beast, who are you talking to?" Aunt Wei grabbed a stick and started hitting him without warning.

Wei Erzhuang remained motionless, but his youngest son rushed forward to protect his father.

Aunt Wei ignored the child and continued to beat him, the stick landing on the child. Only then did Wei Erzhuang react, snatching the stick and kicking it in half.

This is my own mother.

They don't even spare their own children.

"You want to hit me, don't you? You want to hit me, don't you?" Aunt Wei was a little scared. She ran and shouted, and when she got to the gate, she sat down there, crying and yelling.

Wei Erzhuang stood to the side, holding his son, watching without saying a word.

“Why are you still making a fuss? Don’t you think your son is acting strange? Look, he’s staring straight at people.”

"It's all because the old folks are so irresponsible; they've ruined a perfectly good life like this."

"To have such an old man, one must have been cursed with bad karma for eight lifetimes to end up with this fate."

Everyone disliked Aunt Wei; she cried and made a scene, but no one tried to persuade her.

Wei Dazhuang and Sanzhuang arrived. Wei Ershen cried and cursed, saying that Erzhuang talked back to her, was unfilial, and even wanted to beat her.

Their house had been completely ransacked, and Wei Sanzhuang's clothes had been burned. They hated Erzhuang. With this excuse, the two brothers beat Wei Erzhuang up, and beat him quite badly.

Wei Erzhuang said that as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely come back.

He said to Wei Sanzhuang, "It seems you've gotten involved too. I won't let you go either, unless I'm dead."

Erzhuang was beaten black and blue, but he still refused to back down.

They separated them; everyone said Erzhuang looked like he was going crazy.

Erzhuang was beaten quite badly, but Dazhuang and Sanzhuang also had many injuries.

San Zhuang was a little scared and said to his second brother, "You should apologize to Mother. I promise I won't ask for anything more."

Wei Erzhuang remained silent after being pulled away.
