Zhao Long is her grandmother's late-born son. He is the most learned person in the family and also her lifeblood.
Zhao Wei said calmly: "If you can tell me the truth about my father's life experience, I will definitely find a way to send Fourth Uncle back to school when school starts."
When Qi Nai and Zhao Long heard this, their eyes lit up at first, but then they began to question it in surprise and doubt.
"How can you help me? Dare you lie to me? Believe it or not, I will kill you."
"Humph! You are such a useless piece of shit, what are you bragging about? I don't understand what you are saying. Your father is a debt collector born after I carried him in my womb for ten months. Don't even think about stirring up trouble here."
Her grandmother's cloudy eyes stared at Zhao Wei like a poisonous snake: "You can't even take out ten dollars, and you want to use fifty dollars to tease people. Do you really think I will be fooled by you?"
Zhao Wei showed the 50 yuan he had just received with an expressionless face.
"The money is right here. It's up to you to decide whether to tell me or not! I'll only give you ten counts to think about it. If you don't hear what I want to hear after ten counts, then I'm sorry, but you won't get a penny from me."
That banknote had great magical power and attracted the attention of everyone present.
The people from several branches of the Zhao family were breathing heavily and kept urging the old lady.
"Mom, if you have something to hide from us, please tell us now. This money will be wasted!"
"You just say whatever the little bastard wants to hear. What do we have to lose? It's just a matter of a few words. Do you still want to eat meat?"
…
When Zhao Wei was counting down, he didn't expect Zhao Yong to rub his hands and come forward to beg him.
"You kid... why are you making things difficult for your grandma? I am definitely our mother's child. There is nothing wrong with my background. As for this money... just give it to your grandma. It was not easy for her to raise me..."
Zhao Wei was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He had seen many foolish filial people, but Zhao Yong was definitely the foolishest one.
His brain was so stubborn that it made people feel suffocated. He could only use the dignity of the head of the family and said to him: "Dad, I can't give you the money. This is what I earned. I have the final say on how I want to spend it."
"If you want to give it to me, you have to earn it yourself. I will never stop you."
Zhao Yong said in embarrassment, "We are all family, why are you so fussy! Without your grandmother, there would be no father like me, and naturally you would not have been born. It is only natural that you should respect the elders."
As he was talking, he tried to snatch 50 yuan.
In Zhao Yong's mind, the idea was very simple. He would give the money to his mother, and then he could keep the old house, and the family would not have to be divided anymore, and life could go back to the way it was before.
How could Zhao Wei let him succeed? He dodged and said disappointedly, "Dad, no matter what I say today, I will never give you the money. If you still recognize me as your son, I am the head of our family now. You should step aside and stop interfering in this matter."
After saying that, he ignored Zhao Yong. He was afraid that he would be angry to death.
Then he said to her, "The time has come. It seems that you don't want the money anymore. Well, just pretend that we have never been here."
When his grandmother saw Zhao Wei holding Zhao Yong hostage and about to leave, she hurriedly shouted, "Hey, stop it, I'll tell you, isn't it okay?"
"Since you've asked, I don't want to hide it anymore. The second son... is definitely not from our Zhao family. I picked him up on the roadside that year."
…
The people in several rooms were stunned.
"Hiss... I didn't expect that Zhao Yong really isn't a member of our Zhao family. This is really... unexpected!"
"My mother is so great. She raised a child who was not her own. Tsk tsk..."
"It's really moving. I'm a little moved. People from the Second House, don't you feel ashamed after hearing this?"
"The grace of raising you is greater than the grace of giving birth to you. I guess your conscience has been eaten by a dog. You still come here to make things difficult for me. Haha..."
…
When Zhao Yong heard this, he was dumbfounded. In his forty years of life, he had never doubted his own life experience.
Unexpectedly, her alcoholic son could make her grandmother tell the truth through this method.
Although he didn't want to believe it in his heart, his experiences over the years told him that this was very likely true.
Zhao Wei didn't feel relieved, but continued to strike while the iron was hot, "Words are not enough, there must be evidence, otherwise, you are trying to deceive us with just two or three sentences, you are just fooling us."
"You, you, you... you little bastard, just wait, I'll go get the evidence now."
It seemed that her grandmother was willing to do anything to get the money.
Soon, right in front of everyone's expectation, a package was brought.
The bundle was just a piece of very old blue cloth, gray and faded in color, and it was obvious that it was quite old.
When it was opened, a very beautiful baby quilt was revealed.
The embroidery on it is very delicate, and the bright red quilt cover is made of high-quality silk, which is not something you can get in the countryside.
This quilt alone can be exchanged for a lot of money. The people in the Zhao family have lived for so long, including their grandfather, and have never seen this thing that has been hidden in the bottom of the box.
"Where did you get this from? What is the story behind the second brother's origin?"
His grandfather had a grim look on his face. Obviously, he was the one who had been kept in the dark.
His grandmother said evasively, "That year, our second child was only six months old and was seriously ill. He was convulsing and foaming at the mouth. He needed money to see a doctor. I held the eldest child by the hand and carried the second child in my arms, asking people along the way, and went to the quarry to look for you."
