A second ago, Bai Yu was arguing with Zhou Tuan, why should he adopt a child who is not related to him by blood? Why is he often away from home on missions?
The next second, she was secretly called to the hospital to take care of Zhou Tuan's funeral arrangements, as he was seriously injured and about to die.
Zhou Tuan gave her two choices.
She finally chose to take less money, get rid of her three adopted children, and leave.
As it turned out, she was right.
The three adopted sons were supposed to go to a daycare center, but Zhou's mother insisted, so the three adopted sons went to the Red Flag Brigade.
Because of this, Mrs. Zhou was always swearing and never had a peaceful day, so Mother Zhou simply split up the family.
Zhou Zeguo allowed his wife to bully his family so that his three children could have enough to eat. But when the family was divided, he felt sorry for his mother and brother. He still sent food to his mother every year even though she was not old enough to retire.
The three adopted sons grew up with many ups and downs.
The eldest brother, Zhou Jun, has been working as a farmer in the countryside; the second brother, Zhou Wen, is autistic and is often bullied because he is called dumb and deaf; the third brother, Zhou Wu, has a bad temper in order to protect his brother. As long as he finds signs of his second brother being bullied, he starts to go crazy and specifically picks on a few second-rate guys in the team.
Seeing that Zhou's mother was getting worse day by day in raising them, Zhou Wu took the risk and entered the black market, which actually allowed him to find a business opportunity.
At that time, Zhou Wu knew his brother's character and was prepared to protect him all his life. He also wanted to get his eldest brother Zhou Jun to work with him. With more relatives to share the worries, he would be able to feel more at ease to display his skills.
Zhou Jun rejected him.
After the reform and opening up, a group of people targeted those with sufficient funds, and Zhou Wu was one of them.
Zhou Wu had fallen into bad habits, and eating and drinking became secondary concerns.
He saw the power of gambling.
A thousand-yuan household becomes a ten-thousand-yuan household in one day, as if money is not money but a number!
He was disdainful at first, and tried it out, but ultimately failed.
He was obsessed with gambling.
First, I lost all my savings, then my family’s land, and then the foundation of my house…
At that time, the distribution of property to each household had already been implemented.
By the time he realized it, it was too late. Not only had he lost everything, but he had also put his family into debt.
Zhou Wu returned home trembling, exchanged the gold tooth that had just been inserted a few days ago for money, bought some pork and rice, and wanted to cook a good meal for his family...
Zhou Jun grabbed the spatula and said that his cooking was not tasty and that he was wasting ingredients. Zhou Wu had no choice but to shut up and nodded with a silly smile.
There was rare laughter at the dinner table.
Zhou Wen, as his twin brother, seemed to have a telepathic connection and looked at him frequently.
Zhou Wuchong forced a smile and quietly left when everyone was taking a nap.
When he reached the entrance of the village, he seemed to sense something and turned around to see Zhou Wen following him.
Zhou Wu sniffed for a long time before walking up to his brother and saying, "Brother, when I'm not around, you always listen to me.
If someone bullies you, you must tell them...
Even if you can't speak, you have to be able to point at people. Big brother... just fight with me! You have to be able to win the fight!
Brother...I'm going to go out for a walk. You ask my elder brother to prepare dinner. I will be back early tonight."
Zhou Wen looked at him and finally nodded.
At around three or four in the afternoon, while Zhou Wen was poking ants on the ground, he seemed to sense something and looked in a daze in a certain direction.
"What are you looking at?"
It was Zhou's mother's voice.
Zhou Wen met her gaze, shook his head quickly, and went back to poking the ants.
Seeing this, Zhou's mother touched his head and sighed.
Sigh for his experience and sigh for his future.
The brothers have a good relationship now, but they will all get married and have their own families in the future. What will Zhou Wen, who is unable to speak, do then?
Unfortunately, Zhou's mother didn't calculate it correctly -
Children have no future.
Suddenly, Zhou Wen was attracted to the direction of Zhou Wu, who had taken out all his money and it was not enough to pay the interest. Knowing the rules of the underworld, he started cutting his own fingers to pay off his debts.
Zhou's mother said to Zhou Wen, "Xiaowu is a capable child. He demolished the mud house he lives in and built a big tiled house with green bricks."
When the family was divided, in order to get more money and food, Zhou's mother gave up the big brick and tile house where she had lived for decades and moved into a mud house.
When Zhou Wu was able to do something, he would bring back food and meat, and the four of them would eat the good food behind closed doors. After the reform and opening up, trade became free and private business was legal, so he hired someone to build a new house, determined to make everyone live better.
But now Zhou Wu cut off one of his fingers to pay off his debt.
Zhou's mother said cheerfully, "We'll save some money at home to find wives for your elder brother and Xiao Wu... As for you, grandma is worried that you'll be bullied by your wives, so I've agreed with your brother Xiao Wu to adopt a child for you."
Zhou Wu chopped off his second finger.
Zhou's mother continued to fantasize: "Then I can raise a few more chickens and pigs at home, so that I will have eggs and meat every year!"
Zhou Wu chopped off his third finger.
Zhou's mother: "Give birth to more children in the future, so that your father... Anzi will have descendants."
It's too much. The debt is too high. The interest is also very high. I can't pay it back. I can't pay it back at all.
Zhou Wu ran to the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife and chopped his arm hard.
Zhou's mother: "From now on, our home will be lively and harmonious!"
Have you paid it off?
Because of Zhou Wu's heroic deeds, the organization was soon discovered and arrested by the police.
Those who were set up like him no longer had to pay back the money they owed, but he lost too much blood and was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment.
He thought he had finally saved his home.
He also paid the price for his misguided path.
After an hour of rescue, the news finally reached Hongqi Village. Upon hearing about this, Zhou Jun quickly pried open his iron box and took out all his savings.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
A few cents, a few dimes...
There is just no money.
He didn't make much from farming, it was all hard-earned money, and he didn't have the courage and resolution to follow Zhou Wu into business, but he was willing to give everything he had to save Zhou Wu's life.
Adding the money Zhou's mother gave him, he rushed to the hospital.
When Zhou Wu died, a light drizzle began to fall.
Zhou Wen, holding the empty metal box, didn't know how he got to the county hospital. His clothes were torn, his body and face were covered in mud, and he was soaked like a chicken in soup. He looked at Zhou Jun with a sluggish look.
He spoke for the first time since his biological father's death.
Because he was not used to it, his voice was low and hoarse, so when he spoke for the first time, Zhou Jun didn't hear clearly what he said and thought it was an illusion.
"Where's my brother?" Zhou Wen repeated.
Zhou Jun opened his mouth dumbly, and after a moment, he replied calmly: "I'm sorry, second brother, third brother has already...he has already..."
"My brother fell asleep." Zhou Wen insisted, "Just like my father and father Zhou, my brother just fell asleep."
Zhou Jun covered his mouth and nose.
A grown man, at the end of an empty hospital corridor, cried silently like a child.
He hugged Zhou Wen and made a promise: "You still have me, second brother, you still have me. I am your eldest brother, I will take good care of you, I promised Dad."
Zhou Wen did not respond.
No one knows what he is thinking.
After taking care of Zhou Wu's funeral, Zhou Jun took Zhou Wen back to the village.
Zhou's mother also became ill overnight.
Zhou Jun was busy working in the fields and taking care of his mother, so he neglected Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen locked himself in the room, refusing to eat or drink.
It was not until the third day that Zhou Jun realized something was wrong and forced his way in. He found out that
Zhou Wen fell asleep.
He fell asleep smiling.
But once he falls asleep, he will never wake up again.
Because he wasn't breathing.
