It's really quite pitiful when you think about it.

"Brother, you're really pitiful."

Zhao Dawen turned his head away, choosing to ignore him. He wasn't sure whether he should make up for lost time before leaving. If Wang Shi took pity on him and didn't make up for it, he would linger a little longer before returning.

Anyone who wants to copy books, he feels like throwing up just picking up a pen now. He hasn't had a break all year round, spending New Year's Eve copying books; he's had enough.

If you can't see a single penny, who has the motivation to make money?

Zhao Dashu could tell that his elder brother had been suffering terribly these past few years; Wang Shi had definitely not treated him like a human being. His sister-in-law was always full of bad ideas and very manipulative, and now all her thoughts were focused on his elder brother, wanting only to get revenge on him. It would be strange if she were having a good time.

"Big brother, are you really not going to take care of your children anymore?"

“It’s not that I don’t want to get involved, but your sister-in-law won’t let me. Especially the eldest son, I’ve tried several times to live with him, but Wang Shi won’t agree.”

Zhao Dawen suddenly lowered his stance, "Third brother, can you help my eldest brother? I just want to divorce Wang Shi. As long as I kick her out of the house, I'll do whatever you want."

Zhao Dashu took two steps back. "I don't do things that ruin a couple's relationship. Don't come looking for me, brother."

Zhao Dawen: ...

"If I keep toiling away for a few more years, I'll die. Look at me now, just enduring and toiling away all day long, how much older have I become than before?"

"That's true, you're an old man now. But you were an old man to begin with, you're a grandfather now, how could you not be old? People of your generation are definitely older than you."

Zhao Dawen didn't want to compare himself to others, "but Wang Shi is getting younger and younger."

"Brother, you are truly capable. My sister-in-law is only where she is today because of you."

Can you help me?

"No. But I can give you a suggestion."

Old Zhao perked up, "Go on!"

"That's just how it is between husband and wife. They fight in bed and make up in bed. Whether you can have a good life depends on your ability to win over your sister-in-law."

Zhao Dawen shook his head, saying, "I'm not interested in her."

“Then there’s nothing we can do. You have a good plan, but you don’t want to put in the effort. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Zhao Dashu glanced at his elder brother. “You haven’t been doing this all these years…”

Zhao Dawen blushed. "You're a grandparent now, why are you still thinking about these kinds of nonsense all day?"

"That's not right. Food and sex are human nature! No wonder your sister-in-law doesn't like you. No woman would give you a kind look. Women at this age are in their prime, but what do you do? Your husbands are useless and lazy, sleeping next to you all day without doing anything."

Zhao Dawen paused.

"Oh, my sister-in-law is truly a pitiful person. Although her husband is still alive, she lives like a widow. Do you think you can face her? I'm not trying to criticize you, brother, but you should be kind. You can't do this!"

"But...but she treated me like this, I really hate and despise her, how can I sleep?"

"That's your problem, I can't help you with that. I've given you the method, whether you do it or not, and how you do it, is up to you."

Zhao Dawen's eyes darted around. "He's alright?"

Could it be that Wang's daily abuse of him was not because of Xiao Cui, but because she was holding it in?

Yeah, she's so bored right now, and when you're free, you start thinking about all sorts of random things.

She should have said so earlier!

She tormented him half to death; how could he possibly deal with her? He was willing but unable!

After being abstaining for so long, it's impossible to say he had no feelings for someone; after all, he's a man.

Okay, I'll reluctantly give in to her tonight and hope she won't cause any more trouble or pick on me afterward.

"Third brother, thank you. I think I understand now."

Zhao Dashu gave his older brother a deep look, hoping he wasn't wrong, hoping his brother would be shameless, and even more so, hoping his brother would live up to expectations and not break down halfway.

Therefore, he will probably have an even harder time.

"Brother, are you still of any use?"

Zhao Dawen kicked Zhao Dashu in the butt, yelling, "You bastard!"

When Zhao Xiaoyu arrived at the old house, the two people behind her had not yet arrived.
