"You've really grown up, using all that strength to beat your wife! Is this how I've always taught you?"

The original owner was indeed an exceptional person, but his only redeeming quality was that he never laid a hand on a woman.

The reason he was able to raise such an extraordinary son was not only due to his indulgence and neglect, but also because of the original owner's wife's doting on him.

Zhao Youcai couldn't understand how a father who had never laid a hand on his wife could have given birth to a son addicted to domestic violence.

He didn't want to get involved in this mess, but he had an eldest son who beat women every day, and it would be really unpleasant for such talk to get out.

In addition, although the eldest daughter-in-law is selfish, bullies the weak and fears the strong, always scheming for petty gains and gossiping, she is not completely bad.

The second daughter-in-law is much better than the one who constantly moves her husband's family's things to support her own family and throws tantrums at the slightest disagreement, going back to her parents' home.

Zhao Jianguo released his hand from his wife's, looking completely bewildered.

How many times has he beaten his wife over the years? The worst time he beat her almost killed her. Didn't his father always just lock himself in his room and ignore it?

People in the village would occasionally bring it up, and his father would always say it was just a matter between the young couple, and what business was it of his, an old man, of getting involved? How could his personality suddenly change so drastically!

Could it be that the youngest son's insistence on dividing the family property triggered this?

Seeing that the old man was alarmed by the beating of his wife, Zhao Jianguo could no longer bring himself to do it.

The eldest daughter-in-law slowly got up from the ground.

"I understand, Dad. I won't do it again."

Seeing that his eldest son had stopped abusing the couple, Zhao Youcai didn't bother with their affairs anymore and turned to go back inside.

Why are there so many things happening every day?

On the way back, Zhao Youcai rubbed his aching lower back. If he hadn't taken a pill given to him by the system today, he probably wouldn't have made it this far. These bastards are really giving me a hard time.

As he walked, he suddenly paused.

Why do my legs feel so heavy?

Zhao Youcai looked down and saw the eldest son's two children each holding onto one of his legs, looking at him expectantly with fear in their eyes, but also with a hint of admiration.

"grandfather!"

Zhao Youcai's heart skipped a beat, and his temples throbbed.

Although he had accepted the setting of his transmigration and knew that he was an old man with many children and grandchildren, he still felt a little overwhelmed when he suddenly met his grandchildren and heard them call him "Grandpa."

Zhao Youcai had mixed feelings. Before he transmigrated, children his age would call him uncle or brother!

In my memory, the two children from the eldest son's family should have kept their distance from the original owner. This is the first time they've been so close to him, hugging his leg like this.

I guess he felt a bit more favorably toward me because he saw that I had stopped his father from beating his wife.

Zhao Youcai reached out and ruffled the tufts of hair on the two children's heads, forcing a smile that looked somewhat "kind".

"Go back to sleep, you two have to go to school tomorrow morning, no need to see me off."

The two children suddenly burst into tears, leaving Zhao Youcai stunned on the spot.

What are you doing?!

He started crying no matter what he said!

Are they starting to teach children how to stage accidents from a young age? Using their own grandfather as practice?!

Zhao Youcai had no experience in coaxing children, nor the patience to do so. His old face hardened, and an intimidating aura suddenly appeared.

"Shut up! If you howl again, I'll throw you up the mountain to feed the wolves!"

The two children immediately shut up, and the little granddaughter couldn't help but hiccup and make a sound, her tears flowing even more fiercely.

Helpless, Zhao Youcai reached out and rubbed his temples.

Thinking about it carefully, these two children are quite pitiful. Moreover, it's late at night, and if the neighbors are attracted by the children's crying and come to see what's going on, and then tomorrow it's rumored that he, as the grandfather, is bullying his grandchildren in the middle of the night, what will become of his old face?

Zhao Youcai could only reach out and gently stroke the tufts of hair on the two children's heads that he had just smoothed out, trying his best to be affectionate.

"Why are you crying in front of Grandpa? Grandpa didn't hit or scold you, did he?"

The grandson suddenly grinned and said, "Grandpa, you agree that my sister can go to school with me tomorrow morning, right? My sister can go to school now, and she's not a burden."

Zhao Youcai then remembered what the original owner had done.

The natural disasters of the past three years have had a huge impact. If my family hadn't lived in the relatively prosperous Northeast, let alone going to school, several members of my family would probably have starved to death.

This year things were a bit better, and in order to save money, the original owner, who favored sons over daughters, directly ordered that his granddaughter not go to school, arguing that "what's the use of a granddaughter learning to read and write? She'll just get married when she grows up anyway."

People in rural areas have a strong preference for sons over daughters, and other family members also feel that it is only natural for girls not to go to school, so naturally they have no objections.

Zhao Youcai is not the original owner of this body, so he cannot do the same foolish things as the original owner.

As someone who travels through time, I know that the country will develop better and better in the next few decades, and there will be plenty of college students. If you don't have education, you will definitely suffer.

Although the two children in front of him had nothing to do with him, Zhao Youcai, deeply influenced by his vision of the future, knew that education should never be neglected, no matter how difficult things were.

These children are the future successors of socialism, and given the current situation, they can easily get a good job after attending a vocational school. Even I, their grandfather, will benefit from that.

It's one thing for my own unfilial sons to have gone astray, but these kids can still be nurtured.

After all, human nature is inherently good!

With this in mind, Zhao Youcai had already made up his mind.

At this moment, the little granddaughter cautiously reached out and held one of his fingers. Although she was so scared that she couldn't stop trembling, she still tried to please him in a clear and sweet voice.

"Thank you, Grandpa. When I grow up, I will definitely take care of you and give you a good life." She tilted her head and thought for a moment, as if she was thinking about what happened tonight, and then added.

"I'll take care of Grandpa in his old age, we won't separate from the family, and I'll even spoil him!"

Waste generation?

Zhao Youcai was taken aback. Goodness, this little granddaughter is really "filial".

However, after a little thought, I realized that the little girl probably overheard what he said while dealing with the family division issue that night.

She had never heard of the term "absence payment" before and couldn't understand it, so she couldn't remember it, but Zhao Youcai still understood what it meant.

"Then why aren't you going back to sleep! Are you planning to sleep at school tomorrow? If your teacher talks to your parents about you not studying properly, you can forget about going to school in the future!"

The two children, both happy and scared, let go of each other's hands, looking back every few steps. Seeing this, Zhao Youcai didn't waste any time. He didn't have time to wait for the two kids to dawdle. Without looking back, he lifted his foot and walked towards his house.

Sure enough, Zhao Youcai saw through the crack in the door that the two children held hands and went back inside after he closed the door.

Zhao Youcai finally blew out the candles and lay back down in bed.

The house didn't smell as bad as before, and even the bedding had been washed and aired. Thinking of his honest and hardworking fourth daughter-in-law, Zhao Youcai was quite satisfied.

There were too many things to do that day, and Zhao Youcai fell into a deep sleep before he even had time to think about what to do next.

The next morning, Zhao Youcai was awakened by the loud slamming of the door and shouts.
