When it comes to military service, adults might die of exhaustion and never come back.
What's more, Dalang is only a thirteen-year-old child.
Erlang directly pushed away Xiao Yang's hand, stood in front of Dalang and said:
"Men become men at the age of thirteen and serve in the army at the age of sixteen!
This is stipulated in the law. Even if my mother wants my eldest brother to go, he can’t go!"
Little Yang was rude and raging:
"Why can't he go? Didn't Liu Er's son go there?"
Liu Er was a gambler just like Zhao Ergou, but Zhao Ergou only gambled so much that his family had to sell some land to pay off their debts.
He felt that gambling was not right, so he stopped and only played when he had money. He won and lost, and knew when to stop. He just liked it, but he would never go into too much debt.
So the family was able to survive. They saved some money over the past few years and bought a few acres of land. Life was gradually getting back to normal.
But Liu Er is different, he is a beast and has extremely bad luck.
Because his parents were so angry about the gambling debts that they died, he used his parents' coffin money to pay off the debts. In the end, when his parents were buried, they were only wrapped in two tattered straw mats.
The villagers couldn't stand it any more, so they collected money from each family to buy two coffins to bury the two old people.
As a result, he lost money without paying attention and even owed a lot of money.
Then he started selling land. When the land was sold, he sold his daughter. When the daughter was sold, he sold his wife.
As a result, the wife's family heard about it, and her elder and younger brothers-in-law came to the house and beat him up, breaking one of his legs.
It was time for him to serve in the military, and Liu Er's wife's family had spent all their savings to redeem their niece, but now they couldn't come up with a penny.
Liu Er, however, refused to divorce, saying that he could not serve in the military service and asked them to pay to find someone to take his place, otherwise he would not divorce no matter what!
If they have the guts, just beat him to death. Going to serve in the army is a dead end anyway, so it’s better to drag one along. Even though he’s dead, whoever beats him to death must pay with his life!
Liu Er's wife's family was very angry, but they couldn't really beat him to death!
When Liu Er's wife's parents married their daughter to Liu Er, they did so because they saw that Liu Er's parents were kind and wouldn't bully others, and Liu Er was also an honest and decent person.
Who knew that he was just a show-off, but once he got involved in gambling, he would become a completely different person, turning into a bastard.
Liu Er's parents were really nice people and were kind-hearted. They treated Liu Er's wife like their own daughter, but they couldn't control this bastard son and ended up angering themselves to death.
Both families were in a stalemate, but military service cannot wait and the day is approaching.
Liu Er's wife's family was prepared to send another son to replace him, but Liu Er's son knew that this was very dangerous and did not want his uncles to worry about them anymore.
I don't know how a child of only thirteen or fourteen can have so many ideas.
Without waiting for them to finish discussing, he went to the place where he was serving and begged the constables and soldiers who were watching over the conscripts, saying that his father was seriously injured and could not come, and he wanted to serve in his father's place.
As long as they can count the people, those people don't really care who replaces whom.
Although he was not old enough, I could just turn a blind eye to such things. Seeing that he was sincere and being moved by his filial piety, I agreed.
By the time Liu Er's wife's family found out, it was too late. The list was submitted, and they could forget about changing the person without some money.
That group of detectives were very nice and they were not particularly harsh on Liu Er's son. The people in the same village also took care of him to the best of their ability.
He managed to survive and come back, but died of illness within half a year.
Liu Er's son was still considered strong at that time, but what about Da Lang? He was so thin that his bones were just skin and bones.
If he went there, he would die right there.
Erlang, Wulang and Liulang all looked at Xiao Yang in disbelief.
Little Yang thought this was a good idea:
"You can ask the police officers to put in a few good words for them and kowtow a few times, and it will work.
If you don't want to go, then ask someone over there to go for you!"
Little Yang pointed towards Lao Fu's house.
Erlang was so angry:
"Why should uncle and his family take care of big brother? We have already separated!
It's not like we don't have money at home! Why can't we use money to replace it?"
Why? Why else? Of course it’s because the damn bandits robbed them of their money, and now they only have this little silver left!
Little Yang was thinking about leaving again, so she decided to go even further than Ancheng. She couldn't let the old Fu family catch her. She didn't have enough money to begin with, so of course she had to save wherever she could.
So when Erlang mentioned silver, Xiao Yang's face suddenly became even uglier, and she shouted:
"Don't even think about it! He doesn't deserve it! He's a traitor!
When you were giving away the fish, you were quite tough. You wanted to return the money to your family and even said you were going to sell your body.
Fubao is kind and won't argue with you, and I don't want you to pay it back, but if you are really tough, don't spend the family's money this time!"
Erlang wanted to say something, but he heard a resounding response from behind.
"good!"
Dalang raised his head, pushed Erlang away, took a step forward, looked directly at Xiao Yang and said:
"Oh my god! If I can't come back, it will be my way of repaying you for giving birth to me.
But if I come back, everything that happened before will no longer count, I will no longer be your son, and I will take Erlang and the others with me.
We are no longer part of this family.
If you don't agree, I won't go no matter what. If you dare to force Erlang and the others to go, I will go to the county government and report you.
I also want to have a 'good' chat about Fubao!"
Dalang, the person involved, was the calmest one. His tone did not fluctuate at all. When he mentioned that he was no longer a member of this family, it was as if he had thought about it countless times beforehand and was just waiting for an opportunity to say it.
Erlang, Wulang and Liulang didn't want their brother to take risks, but Dalang shook his head at them and protected them behind him, obviously he had made up his mind.
He had his own ideas, and Erlang had also made up his mind to shamelessly ask his grandmother for money. If he couldn't borrow it, he would steal from Fubao.
Did she really think it was her duty to work like a slave for this monster these years? Even if he worked as a slave for three years, he could have saved a few taels of silver!
Although Wulang and Liulang were anxious when they were stopped by their two brothers, they did not disrupt the situation but stood firmly with their two brothers.
Wu Lang even raised his head and repeated: "Go to the government office!"
Liu Lang continued: "I'll report you and tell you about Fu Bao!!"
Xiao Yang didn't care about these sons at all, but she could abandon them, but she couldn't if they took the initiative to leave the house.
He was about to start scolding them, but when he heard Dalang's threat and looked at the looks of the younger ones, he was startled and started to yell in panic:
"What nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with Fubao?"
Did they know something?
Little Yang looked at them suspiciously.
Fu Bao in the room cursed in his heart: Idiot! Why don't you just say it directly! What's the difference between this and admitting that I have a problem!
He shouted impatiently: "If they want to leave, let them leave. It's useless anyway!"
Whether Fubao is drawing luck or using luck to do things, it all takes time. But now she feels that she has less and less time left for herself. Things at home are no longer under her control. How long can things outside last?
Without the support of others' love, Fubao's luck in drawing will only become more and more difficult and slower.
Xiao Yang was worried about the money, and Fubao was worried about himself. She could have continued to control Dalang and the others, but she was too lazy to do it.
Young Madam Yang really didn't want to let her disobedient sons off so easily, but she still said reluctantly:
"Okay, if you can come back.
But if you don’t come back, it won’t count.”
Little Yang sneered and turned back to the house.
The malice in that smile was as sharp as a knife, as if she was clearly saying that she hoped Dalang would not come back!
Da Lang: "Why do you care if I come back or not? Find someone to write it down first! Make a written agreement! Otherwise, what will I do if you don't admit it?"
Little Yang's arrogant steps froze, and she turned back with a stiff neck: "What did you say?"
This requires a written document, who should I ask to do it?
The son wanted to sever ties with his parents, but she had to write a written agreement for such a shameful thing? ! ! ! !
Dalang and the others proved with facts that she was right! And she must be right!
The confused village chiefs and elders who were invited by Wulang and Liulang came in the yard. As soon as the village chief Mo entered the yard, he couldn't wait to ask:
"I heard that your sons are planning to abandon you?"
Young Yang: ...
Little Yang:!!!
The expression of the village chief Mo, who was watching a good show, was so obvious. The elders exchanged glances with each other, and some people muttered, "I knew it, they are so partial to each other, sooner or later something bad will happen, what do you think? The child doesn't want them!"
Those words made little Yang dizzy and for the first time in her life she couldn't afford to lose face.
Xiao Yang angrily emphasized: "It is I who don't want them!!!"
There is no such thing as a child not wanting his parents!
Only teasing children can mean, your parents don’t want you!
Village Chief Mo nodded to show that he understood:
"Well, okay, then they will belong to Lao Fu's family!"
Dalang and the others: Oh! What a surprise!
Xiao Yang: "I don't agree!!!"
