A chill ran down Zhao Wenshan's spine. Lin Baiwei's words had come true. Zhao Baishan, that black-hearted wolf, had almost killed him. If it weren't for the little pig's own courage in escaping the disaster, he would not only have lost his job, but also his life.

He had just talked about Lu Mo with a colleague a while ago. This colleague was said to be a know-it-all, and knew everything about Pingjiang City. The colleague told him that he must not offend Madam Lu, because everyone in the city knew that Madam Lu was the apple of Lu Mo's eye. If anyone made Madam Lu angry, Lu Mo would definitely fly into a rage for his beloved, even more fierce than Wu Sangui back then.

Now his damned brother almost killed Lu Mo's own son, and Madam Lu even got into a fight with his brother. He's offended everyone, big and small. Lu Mo would probably eat him alive.

The more Zhao Wenshan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his hatred for Zhao Baishan deepened. He even resented his parents. This ungrateful wretch was ten years younger than him. When he went to university, Zhao Baishan was still clueless. How could he know that his family had to drop out of school to support his education?

It was all because of what his parents said; Zhao Wenshan remembered Lin Baiwei's words again—

"Your parents are like stinkers, they stir up a stench wherever they go, there's never a peaceful day with them around!"

He had a big argument with Lin Baiwei about this. His parents were indeed uneducated and ignorant, but a son doesn't despise his mother for being ugly. No matter how bad his parents were, he, as their son, had to tolerate them and repay their kindness in raising him.

Now his thoughts have changed. Lin Baiwei is right. His parents really didn't do anything worthwhile. Moreover, he also remembered many things he had deliberately forgotten in the past, and his heart sank little by little.

The Zhao family was a large family. His father had four brothers. His grandparents were very capable, so they didn't separate from the family until he went to high school. It wasn't until his grandparents got too old to work that they separated and lived on their own. His father was the third son and wasn't very popular with his grandparents. He also didn't get along well with his three brothers. He didn't know the specific reasons before, but now he understands. With his parents being such troublemakers, who could get along well with them?

Even their own brothers didn't like them.

Moreover, his three uncles all lived very well because his aunt and aunt were capable and virtuous, managing their households in an orderly manner. His uncles were also hardworking, working from dawn till dusk. Not only did they not cultivate their own fields, but they also went to the mountains to cultivate tobacco and watermelons to earn extra money. His aunt and aunt also often went to the mountains to collect herbs and wild vegetables, dried them, and sold them for money, earning a considerable income every year.

His parents didn't even want to farm the family land. Before the family split up, they ate the government's food. After the split, they shamelessly ate their brothers' food. After all, they were brothers. Although they didn't like his parents, they couldn't just watch them starve to death. They would help them out when they ran out of food. Moreover, his three uncles and aunts contributed most of the money for his university education.

Zhao Wenshan was filled with shame. After he became successful, he helped many of his brothers and sisters, but he really didn't help his three uncles much. One reason was that he was busy with work and rarely went back to his hometown. The main reason was that his parents always said that he didn't need their help, and after hearing it so many times, he became indifferent to it.

Zhao Baishan, both angry and ashamed, glared at his younger brother and gritted his teeth, saying, "What have you done to help me? Before high school, the family hadn't divided the property. My school fees came from the family account. My high school tuition was paid for by my eldest sister's dowry and by my third and fourth younger brothers and sisters who earned money by digging for medicinal herbs. You didn't contribute a single penny. How dare you say such things? I don't have a beastly brother like you. From now on, we're not related. I'll never care about your life or death again!"
