Sanzhuzi took a deep breath. "Dad, if I were to pick up a stick and beat my eldest brother instead of scolding my second brother, what did he do wrong? You and Mom are so biased. Aren't you afraid that no one will take care of you in the future?"

Don't forget, I'm a street urchin, and that one's a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat. It seems only your second son, whom you despise the most, is even remotely human.

Zhao Dayong was stunned. He didn't expect his third son to speak up for his second son. He had always disliked his second son, saying that he was pedantic, rigid, and stupid.

He also felt that his second son was stupid before and bad now, so he just didn't like him.

Now……

He actually felt that Sanzhuzi was right; the eldest and third sons were destined to be unreliable. If they could take care of themselves, he would wake up laughing in the middle of the night. It seemed that the only one he and his wife could rely on in the future was the second son.

“He dares to be disrespectful to us in the slightest?” Zhao Dayong sneered. “Your mother and I will go directly to the yamen and send him to jail.”

There's no need to say nice things to that idiot second son; he wouldn't understand anyway. Threats are the most effective.

My father used to threaten my third brother in the same way: if he didn't stay home and work, his family wouldn't eat, and he wouldn't be able to adopt any of his children, thus ending his family line.

Erzhu sneered, "Sue him?"

"Dad, go ahead and sue me now. Don't forget we've already separated the family. As long as I give you everything written in the separation agreement, let's see if you can win the case."

He had heard his third uncle and grandfather say these words before.

Sometimes, the wheel of fortune turns, and no one escapes the wrath of heaven.

When Zhao Dayong died, his three unfilial sons, none of whom obeyed him, all learned to disobey him.

Especially Erzhuzi, they were used to the others being disobedient since they were young, why did even the most obedient one change?

Yes, the third brother deliberately corrupted the most obedient Erzhuzi. He deliberately made Erzhuzi work in his shop and deliberately let his men lead his son astray.

"Erzhuzi, you are not allowed to go to the county town anymore. Don't do that job anymore. Go home and farm. Your mother and I are getting old and can't work for many more years. From now on, you and Guo will do the housework."

Erzhuzi ignored his father completely, strode out of the main room. He didn't need to say anything to someone who was unreasonable; it was a waste of time.

Zhao Dayong trembled violently, "You unfilial son, you unfilial son!"

Lost in her own grief, Li thought to herself that her husband was talking nonsense, and that she herself would never give up her job in the county town. Where could she find stable work? How much money could she make farming at home?

When Sanzhuzi saw his second brother leave, he followed him eagerly. Now, at home, he probably only wants to be close to his second brother.

There were three people left in the main room.

"Big Pillar, you!"

Zhao Dayong stopped himself from speaking. His eldest son understood everything, so there was no need for him to nag.

Besides, he's already pitiful enough. He has no children, no wife, nothing much to say, just old news.

"Afterwards, you need to find a way to appease Sanzhuzi. Brothers shouldn't hold grudges overnight. You absolutely can't let these things create a rift between you, understand?"

Dazhu ignored his father's nagging, his mind filled with the words Sanzhu had just used to scold him.

They say he had no descendants, that he died at home and no one knew, and that no one would take care of him in his old age or see him off in his final days.

The thought that I might not even have anyone to help me with my burial in the future made me inexplicably panicked.

"Father, Mother, I can't live without my child, I can't go on like this."

Li stared blankly at her son, her eyes brimming with tears.

What nonsense is my son talking about? He simply doesn't have children, and he never will, not even if he gets married. Isn't that something everyone knows?

"Mother, Guo is pregnant, and she's pregnant again. Can you pressure my second brother to give me a child? They have so many children anyway, so what difference does it make if they have one more or one less?"
