Chapter 21 Partiality

"Third brother, how can you say that? How have we treated you badly? You are the same as the eldest brother and the second brother.

We didn't ask for the recipe for free, didn't your second brother say so? They gave silver.

You are all brothers. How can I ignore you when your second brother is well? Third brother, you can't be so selfish." Zhang Dahua felt uncomfortable when she heard her son complain about their partiality.

She admitted that she might have neglected the third child sometimes, but the third child was also hers, so how could she not love him?

"The same? Really the same? You make new clothes for your eldest brother and the others every year. Even if you don't make them every year, you always take turns making them.

But when did you ever make one for me? The clothes I wear are all made by my grandma. After she passed away, I bought all my clothes myself. You never mended my clothes when they were torn. I just sewed them myself with needle and thread.

Also, that time, my second brother and I were both sick, and you called a doctor and prescribed medicine for my second brother.

What about me? You didn't even look at me, just left me to fend for myself.

And as for getting a wife, why do you want to force the woman my second brother doesn't want on me?

I found my wife myself, and my mother didn't want to pay for it.

The eldest brother is the eldest son and is favored by his father. The second brother is in poor health and is loved by his mother. The fourth brother is the youngest son and is loved by both his parents.

What about me? I deserve to be ignored. I deserve to be treated like a slave for you." Gu Yan loudly spoke of the grievances he had suffered over the years.

Zhang Dahua's eyes also turned red. She had indeed ignored the third brother intentionally or unintentionally over the years.

But she didn't do it on purpose. The other children grew up in her care and she was used to taking care of them.

The third child lived with her grandparents since she was a child, and she never took care of them for a single day. Later, her parents-in-law passed away, and the third child came back to live with them. Sometimes she would subconsciously forget about them.

No matter what the reason was, what Gu Yan said was true and she couldn't refute it.

Gu Chongshan didn't expect that Gu Yan would be so dissatisfied with them.

Things have come to this point and we can’t go any further. If we continue, I’m afraid the third brother will really become estranged from them.

"Alright, stop talking. Don't overthink it, Third Brother. I'm just asking for your opinion. If you don't agree, forget it.

Dahua, go get the things I prepared for Lao San and the others." Gu Chongshan said.

"Dad, what should I do?" Gu Bei still didn't give up.

"Second brother, there's no need to talk about this. If the third brother and the others don't agree, just forget it. We'll talk about your matter later." Gu Chongshan stopped Gu Bei.

Gu Bei stopped talking, but looked at Li Wanqing and Gu Yan with resentment in his eyes.

"Third brother, okay, you don't care about your relatives, right? Don't use me in the future, and then you can see whether I can help you or not." Gu Bei pointed at Gu Yan and said.

"Second brother, shut up

"Don't worry, even if something happens, I won't ask you for help."

Gu Yan and Gu Chongshan's voices rang out at the same time.

Gu Chongshan glared at Gu Bei. He was really incapable of doing anything but causing trouble. Why was he provoking the third brother at this time?

The secret recipe is in someone else's hands. Why don't you try to get along with them and still act so stubborn? Do you have what it takes?

"Third brother, calm down. I'm sorry for letting you suffer these years.

Don't worry, the secret recipe is something no one in your family will miss.

Don't hold a grudge against your parents. There are many children in the family, so it's normal that they can't take care of them sometimes." Gu Nian also stepped forward to persuade Gu Yan.

Gu Yan didn't have much of an opinion about this elder brother. He had never bullied him. Of course, he didn't care when he saw Gu Yan being treated unfairly.

Gu Yan had nothing to say about this, as long as she didn't act like a good boy after getting the advantage.

They have all started their own families and will live their own lives from now on. Everyone can just treat them as ordinary relatives when interacting with each other.

"Brother, it's okay. I'm just feeling sorry for my wife. Whose new wife would have her things coveted on her wedding day?

It’s because my wife has no family and no one to support her.

But let me put this on hold: from now on, no one can bully my wife while I'm around." Gu Yan took the opportunity to support his wife.

"Okay, no one bullies your wife. Who can bully your wife like that?

This is something for you, take it back. The wild vegetables outside are growing, so I won’t give you any dried vegetables.

There is not much oil left at home. You two families only have one bowl each. If it is not enough, you can find a way yourself.

Everything is here. Take it and go. Your father and I can’t control you anymore.

How you live in the future is up to you." Zhang Dahua took out two bags and gave one to Gu Bei and one to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan took the things and without caring about Gu Bei and the others, he said something and pulled Li Wanqing out.

"Mom and Dad, let's go back first."

"Go back." Gu Chongshan waved his hand.

Seeing Gu Yan taking Li Wanqing away, Gu Bei said to Gu Chongshan unwillingly, "Dad, are we just going to let them go like this?

Why don't you talk to Lao San and the others? I'm not using the recipe for nothing, I'll pay for it. If five taels isn't enough, ten taels will be fine, right?

Dad, please help me. I have never begged you before, but this time I will do it for you."

Gu Chongshan looked at his second son. This son had been in poor health since childhood and was indeed not good at hunting. He also wanted to find a way for him to make a living, so he wanted his daughter-in-law to take out the recipe.

He also knew that he was not in the right, so it was normal for his daughter-in-law to refuse.

"Second brother, how can I help you? I have also been with the third brother's family. If the eldest brother's family doesn't agree, what can I do?" Gu Chongshan said.

"Dad, the third brother listens to you, talk to him properly.

As long as the third brother agrees, I don’t believe that his family can object?

Even after getting married, a woman still has to obey her husband." Gu Bei said.

Gu Chongshan looked at his second son and felt very disappointed. He didn't know what to say since he was so confident in wanting his brother's wife's things.

"You don't have to think about the braised pork recipe. If you want to go out and make money, I'll ask your second uncle one day if he can find you a job." Gu Chongshan said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, then Dad, you must talk to my second uncle." Gu Bei just wanted to find a job to make money, anything would do.

When Gu Nian heard that Gu Chongshan was willing to go to his second uncle for the second son, his heart began to move.

His second uncle was spotted by his second aunt when he went to the restaurant to sell hunted animals.

Later, after marrying my second aunt, I went to work as an accountant in the restaurant run by her father.

Although he is called an accountant, it is just a title. My second uncle can't read a single word, so how can he do accounting?

However, Second Aunt is an only child, and all the family property will belong to her in the future. Second Uncle's words in the restaurant are still useful.

If Dad was willing to talk to his second uncle, his second uncle would definitely arrange a job for him.
