"Dad, take the medicine first." Lei Xiaotian was worried about the old man's health, so he gave the old man a pill for calming the mind first.

"No, I want to hear how I wronged him to make him do this." He could stand it, he wanted to hear the truth with his own ears.

Old Master Lei sat on the sofa in the living room, leaning on a cane and looking straight ahead, his eyes fixed on the door.

When Lei Ergou came in, he saw his elder brother's gaze, and he grabbed the sides of his pants tightly with both hands and stood there motionless.

The two brothers, who had been afraid to speak, saw their father and quickly stepped forward to hold him back. "Dad, tell uncle that you are innocent and you would never do such a thing."

"Yes, Dad, we can't bear this kind of crime!" How could the two brothers not be anxious? They still relied on their uncle as a supporter.

Lei Ergou took a deep breath and met his elder brother's gaze, "I did it!"

The facial muscles on one side of Mr. Lei's nose were twitching up and down.

Bang!

The teacup on the table shattered at Lei Ergou's feet.

"Why?" Mr. Lei's heart was not as calm as he appeared, and his hand holding the crutch was shaking.

What on earth had he done to be so outrageous that his own brother treated him like this?

He wants him to have no descendants!

"Hahaha!" Lei Ergou laughed, with a hint of sadness and a bit of pride in his laughter.

The two brothers looked at their crazy father and collapsed on the ground in fear. It was over, their family was over!

"Why...hahaha...why do you say..."

"My dear brother, do you know? I have envied you since I was a child. I was so envious that I wish you would die!" Lei Ergou seemed to be trapped in memories, his eyes were red and ferocious.

"I've thought countless times, if you died in an accident, would your parents treat me better?"

"Why are you so healthy while I am sick even though we are both raised by our parents? What a lousy name they gave me, Lei Ergou. Listen to me, Ergou, I am as cheap as a dog and worthless!"

"Brother, your name is Lei Hu, but mine is Er Gou. Is that reasonable?"

"I'm like an animal, raised casually, and my life or death is entirely up to God. If they put a little bit of the effort they put into you into me, even a little bit, I wouldn't hate you so much!" Lei Ergou looked at Grandpa Lei with hatred in his eyes, as if this was not his relative but an enemy.

Grandpa Lei looked at his crazy brother and for the first time he knew what he was thinking.

"You're called Ergou because you're in poor health. Your parents were afraid you'd die young, so they thought a humble name would make it easier to raise you. As for your poor health, it's because you were born during the war. Your mother gave birth to you prematurely while fleeing famine. Your family did their best to help you survive, but the war was something we couldn't control."

"Besides, my parents have to take care of the family's livelihood, so they don't have time to take care of so many things. It's already difficult to support our big family."

At that time, his grandparents were still young. He had elderly parents and young children. He actually had an older sister, but she died young. At that time, whether a child could grow up really depended on luck.

After all, Mr. Lei is older than his younger brother and more sensible, so he knows the difficulties his younger brother faced when he was a child.

He was the eldest child and took on the burden of the family. His parents really relied on him because he could help them with the work.

But that wasn't a reason for him to blame them.

"You have your parents' expectations, a healthy body, and all the family resources are focused on you. You can't understand my pain. Every time there is something good at home, your parents will help you eat it. Everyone praises you, but the way you look at me is full of pity and disdain."

"Why, why do I have to endure this, while you... everything goes smoothly for me."

"I thought you'd run away and died out there, but I didn't expect you to come back alive and become a high-ranking official."

"Everyone is clinging to you. My parents have forgotten that it was me... it was me, the son they didn't think highly of, who was always by their side, taking care of them and supporting this family!" Lei Ergou was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

He let out all the resentment he had stored up throughout his life.

It was unfair to his parents, to his elder brother, and to his own people.

"You know what? My parents knew how hard you'd worked. Before they died, they held my hand and told me to take good care of you and make up for all the wrongs they'd done to you over the years. So I brought your whole family to the capital, set you up in a home, and found you a job."

Mr. Lei believes that he has done his best for his younger brother.

He did not create everything he had.

"I don't want you to be hypocritical!"

"Since you've already done it, why not see it through to the end? Look at our family, so many people squeezed into such a crowded little yard. Your nephew has been here for so many years, and he's still just a small squad leader. You have so much power in your hands, what's wrong with you helping them?"

Lei Xiaotian walked up to Lei Ergou and said, "Stop making excuses for your selfishness. You always talk about how hard your life is. Have you seen how hard my father's life is?"

"Do you think it's easy for my dad to work so hard outside for so many years? He's experienced death several times and even faced death before he achieved his status. There are no such things as pie falling from the sky."

"You've enjoyed everything my father has given you, yet now you blame him. No matter how many excuses you give, they can't cover up your selfish, narrow-minded, and dirty heart!"

"Since you are so unwilling, then just go back and take care of yourselves." Master Lei's heart was completely cold. After so many years of hard work, he was rewarded with resentment, so he would take it back.
