"All you do all day is eat, eat, eat. Where is there so much food to eat?"

"By the way, aren't you working at the factory? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Tiecheng adopted the demeanor of an elder brother acting as a father.

He used to be an honest and simple older brother at home, someone who could be easily hurt by anyone. This time, these ungrateful wretches will never dare to act like the boss here again.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Jiang Jincheng immediately shrank back, naturally not daring to reveal what he had done.

"Brother, why are you scolding me the moment we meet?"

"If I don't scold you, who should I scold? I came all the way to the Northwest to work in the countryside all by myself."

You're living the high life in the city.

The workers ate rations every day.

Why don't you say you'd help your older brother out? Why are you coming here asking me for food and drink? What's the meaning of this?

You got all the advantages during the lottery, so why don't you want to take any responsibility now?

You were the apple of your parents' eye since you were little. How can a grown man like you not even be able to support his family?

These words were spoken clearly and precisely, immediately silencing any rebuttal Jiang Jincheng might have had.

Indeed, everyone knew that they had drawn a worker from the factory in the lottery, which was a huge advantage.

Upon hearing this, Liu Cuie almost choked on her breath.

I originally intended to say these words to the boss. If the boss had drawn this lot, none of this would have happened.

But now that the boss is using these words to shut her and Jiang Jincheng up, she really can't come up with anything else.

"Alright, alright, stop tormenting your brother. Can't you talk things out? Your brother lost his job a long time ago."

"How can I lose my job?"

Of course, Liu Cuie couldn't say that her son had learned to play cards with those bad friends and then lost his job.

"Alright, alright, your brother and I have come all this way and we're starving. Let us eat first."

Jiang Tiecheng slammed his hand on the table.

"Mom, why are you still like this?"

You've always spoiled your second son, and you're still spoiling him now. With such a big thing happening in the family, shouldn't your second son have explained things to me?

"I sincerely gave him that job, and now he's lost it. Doesn't he have any explanation for what happened to his older brother?"

“His job is an honor for his whole family. The whole family depends on this job for their livelihood. Now that he has lost his job, how are they going to starve?”

"Mom, do you know what kind of life I'm living now? As the deputy head of the security department, I owe a huge debt of gratitude."

I have to repay this favor. I still have to give it to them every month after I get my salary. I paid for this job.

I don't even have 3 yuan left in my pocket after a month, and I still need to eat.

“I wrote home several times, telling them about my difficulties and asking them to send me some food coupons and money.”

Mom, is it you who won't send it to me? Or is it my second son who won't send it to me?

Do you know that for several months I tightened my belt and survived hungry nights by drinking only cold water?

"Mom, are you trying to starve your eldest son to death?"

Jiang Tiecheng's words were actually used by his second brother, Jiang Jincheng, to blackmail him in his past life.

"How can that be? At least you can get food on the farm, but we can't even afford to eat at home."

"I really had no choice. My second son knew nothing about this, and I didn't dare tell him. He lost his job and is now unemployed."

"Eldest son, your mother heard that you're doing quite well here now, while your younger brother is truly desperate."

He had already become infamous there.

You can't abandon your younger brother. You're the eldest brother. Before your father passed away, you promised him you would take care of your younger siblings.

Since the third brother was able to come here to join the army, you should also try to get your younger brother a job or even enlist in the army.

Liu Cuie couldn't hold back any longer and revealed her true intentions right away.

Jiang Tiecheng sneered inwardly upon hearing this; he knew Liu Cuie couldn't possibly be here unharmed.

The fact that Jiang Yinping could say these things proves that this was Jiang Yinping's doing.

This girl is just as vicious as she was in my past life. After I rejected her, she dragged me here, just trying to force me to come and find a solution for her.

Mother, I'm just an ordinary deputy section chief of the security department. What connections do I have to get them into the army?

The reason why Lao San was able to join the army here was by chance. I saved someone on the train on my way here, and they were repaying that favor to me.

How can I go now?

Who should I talk to about this now?

"Mother, can't you have any pity for your eldest son? Am I not your own flesh and blood? Are you determined to drive me to my death?"

These words struck Liu Cuie like a thunderbolt, causing her to shudder involuntarily and lower her eyelids guiltily.

Jiang Tiecheng knew his mother inside and out from his past life. Whenever his mother felt guilty and did something wrong, she would do this and avoid looking him in the eye.

Could it be that I really am not a son of the Jiang family?

In his past life, he never understood why Liu Cuie and her younger siblings treated him this way.

They are blood relatives, why can they be so cruel and vicious to themselves?

But if this is true, then he understands that Liu Cuie, who is not his biological mother, has never shown him any affection whatsoever.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you child?"

Of course you are my biological son. You have lived there for so many years, from childhood to adulthood, everyone in the neighborhood knows that you are my eldest son.

If you weren't their biological child, you wouldn't even hear the gossip.

After Liu Cuie finished speaking, she suddenly became righteous and confident.

"Alright, stop trying to shirk your responsibility as the eldest brother by using these words to shut your mother up."

I treat everyone equally. Your father is gone, what can your mother, a widow, do?

I have no choice but to rely on you, my eldest son.

"Mom has always considered you the pillar of the family since you were little. If you don't help the family now, who will?"

"Anyway, I don't care. You have to find a way to get your brother a job or let him join the army, or you can give your job to your brother."

Liu Cuie's confident and assertive words immediately amused Jiang Tiecheng.

"Mom, do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Am I not your biological son?

You just said that both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, and you should treat them equally. Is this what you call treating them equally?

As the eldest son in the family, I now have a job and can support myself, and you're still not happy!

They want me to give this job to my second son? Why should I?

The second son won a job through the lottery, but he managed to lose it, and now he's trying to steal mine.

Mother, am I really not your biological child?
