"Tell me, what kind of grudge could possibly remain unresolved between you and your father overnight?"

"Your father and mother raised you two brothers, supported your schooling, built houses for you, and even found you wives!"

"Tell me, if you're unwilling to support the elderly, won't you be the laughingstock of the villagers?"

The speaker was a simple, middle-aged man who looked to be about 50 years old.

From the surrounding villagers' chatter, Lin Xue knew that this was their village chief.

"Uncle, you don't understand!"

The two brothers kept their heads down, refusing to agree to take the elderly man home. When pressed, they could only say, "You don't understand."

"If I don't understand, then say so! How are we supposed to understand if you don't explain?"

"You two are blood relatives. What deep-seated hatred or grudge could drive you two brothers to do such a thing?"

The village chief tried to talk to them and persuade them, but the two children just wouldn't listen.

They were all trying to outdo each other, tucking their heads into their crotches.

She looked wronged and pitiful.

"Ugh, I'm so angry!"

The village chief tried to persuade him for a long time, but to no avail. At this point, he felt dry-mouthed and full of anger.

“Uncle Village Chief, calm down. There’s an old saying that every cause has an effect. If you don’t find the cause, you can’t solve the problem.”

"Let's take it slow!"

Lin Xue walked past the crowd of onlookers and came to the village chief's side.

After offering a few words of advice to the village chief, he finally turned his attention to the two men.

Judging from their appearances, neither of them are ungrateful people, so why are they unwilling to support their parents?

I glanced at the somewhat dejected old man next to me, and the old woman hiding in a corner, secretly wiping away tears.

This family seems so honest and kind, how could something like this have happened?

They should know that if this causes such a stir in the village, they themselves will only lose face.

"Little Xue, what brings you here too?"

After hearing Lin Xue's words, the village chief shifted his gaze from the two unfilial sons and forced himself to calm down.

"I was just taking a stroll in the village to get some exercise when I heard a noise over here, so I came to check it out!"

Lin Xue picked up a cup of tea from the table next to her and handed it to the old village chief.

The village chief didn't refuse and drank it all in one gulp.

Then I sat down at the table, and for a moment I didn't know what to say.

"Two elder brothers!"

Lin Xue glanced at the two people, unsure of how to address them.

"Xiaoxue, stop talking!"

One of the men looked up at Lin Xue for a moment, then looked down again.

"I have a question for you two brothers: are you unwilling to support the elderly, or are you unwilling to live with them?"

As soon as Lin Xue finished speaking, the two men made a move simultaneously.

They first looked at Lin Xue in disbelief, then exchanged glances, and finally looked at Old Man Feng standing to the side.

Although she still didn't say anything, Lin Xue already knew what was going on.

It's unlikely that these two people didn't want to live with the elderly; it's more likely that their wives didn't want to.

"If Old Man Feng and Old Lady Feng didn't live with you, and you were asked to provide them with some money and food each month, would you be willing to do so?"

Upon hearing this, even the village chief standing nearby saw the hope that burst forth in the eyes of the two people!

Well, now even a fool can see what's going on here!

Once Lin Xue found out the reason for the matter, she stopped talking, after all, she was a junior and it was not appropriate for her to meddle too much in other people's affairs.

But instead of leaving, he walked to the table, found a chair, and sat down.

After all, she wasn't in good health, so no one would say anything even if she sat down.

Next, the old village chief mediated the conflict between the father and son.

In the end, they actually came up with a solution.

Just as Lin Xue just said.

Each of the two families contributes enough money and food each month to support the elderly, and they are obligated to come and take care of them when they are sick.

They don't have to live together normally, but they must still show filial piety.

Although the two elderly people were still somewhat disappointed, at least their son was willing to support them in their old age, so they no longer asked for anything more.

arguing back and forth will only make us a laughing stock in the village.

Once the matter at Old Man Feng's house was resolved, Lin Xue wanted to leave with the others.

But the village chief stopped him.

"Xiaoxue, stay here for a bit, I'll take you home later!"

This must be the most pampered girl in the village; even the village chief subconsciously softened his tone when speaking to her.

"Oh well!"

Just as Lin Xue was about to speak, she heard the village chief's words and sat back down.

Grandma Feng warmly took the kettle and poured her a cup of hot water.

"Xiaoxue, have some tea!"

Although the old lady was heartbroken that her two daughters-in-law were unwilling to live with her, she was relieved that the problem of her and her husband's care was finally solved.

The two elderly people were grateful to Lin Xue, after all, so many people came to the village, but none of them could solve their family's problems.

The young girl only stayed for a short while, but she found the root of the problem.

If we don't want to live together, then we don't have to live together.

At least the son is still his own.

Those two older brothers didn't want their wives to have any disagreements with the elders, which is why they hadn't been able to bring it up.

The two older brothers are caught in the middle of this whole mess.

Regardless of whether he forgot his mother after getting married, or if there were other reasons.

People tend to focus on the results.

Lin Xue has been here for so long, and everyone in the village has come, but the wives of those two older brothers haven't shown up.
