When Zhao's father saw that he was so eager to sever ties with his father, he became furious and pointed at Zhao Liang, about to start cursing, "You're utterly absurd! I gave birth to you and raised you, and you're still wrong?"
"So you're bringing shady characters to our door to pressure our parents?"
Ma Pingchuan, whom he called a scoundrel, didn't take his words to heart at all, but Zhao Liang's face darkened.
He got angry after being interrupted and scolded repeatedly. "Then what do you want? You're the ones who wanted to sever ties, and I agreed, but you've gone back on your word! What do you want from me?"
Do you think I wanted to be born into your family? My parents are biased, the eldest is selfish, vicious, and domineering, the third is clever, sweet-talking, and ruthless, and I'm the only fool. I've been bullied and oppressed by you all since I was a child!
I have to give in to everything, endure everything, and do everything! Time and time again, you abandon me, you leave me behind. Are you only happy when you drive me to my death?
His accusations failed to elicit remorse from his parents; instead, they further enraged the couple.
Enraged, Zhao's mother picked up the bowl beside her and smashed it at him. "You wretched child! How dare you question your parents? I carried you for ten months, gave birth to you, and raised you. How dare you question me?"
Zhao's father was furious and took off his shoes, ready to beat the man.
They were all stopped by Ma Pingchuan.
At this moment, he felt incredibly sorry for Zhao Liang's plight.
"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, ask yourselves honestly, have you ever been kind to A-Liang since he was a child?"
Not to mention when we were little, the eldest child in the family should have been sent to the countryside, but you forced the second child, who hadn't even graduated from high school, to go to the countryside.
If it weren't for the teachers taking pity on him, he wouldn't even have gotten his high school diploma! Have you ever thought about his future?
He's been working in the countryside for his older brother for so many years, have you ever sent him a single penny or anything? No!
Instead, every time you send a letter, it's him who sends wild game and food to you! Has he ever uttered a single complaint all these years? Have you ever cared about his situation in the countryside?
He finally got into university, were you ever happy for him? Instead, you immediately tried to take his place! Is this what parents should do?
He's thirty this year! Did you, as his parents, ever worry about his marriage before? Now you're blaming him, don't you think it's ridiculous and laughable?
He had to rely on himself for everything in the countryside, and it was already difficult for him to have enough to eat. You still have to drink his blood to support your whole family. Have you ever thought about which family's daughter would be willing to marry him?
What kind of lives are the two sons you protect living? And what kind of life is he living?
In this matter, you are the last people who should blame him!
His words silenced the room. Zhao's mother staggered back two steps. Was she really wrong?
"Second brother, is that what you think too? The eldest brother is the pillar of the family, so he definitely can't go to the countryside. The third brother is impulsive and can't endure hardship, as you know. He can't go either; we don't even know if he'll come back alive!"
Second brother, as their elder brother, you're healthy and strong. If you don't go, who will?
Mr. Zhao, supporting his throbbing head with both hands, sighed helplessly, "Second son! We didn't force you to accept the university spot, did we?"
I did it for your own good. Your dull and unlikable personality means that even if you go to university, your future prospects are not guaranteed. It would be better to let your younger brother go. If he does well in the future, he will remember your kindness!
Besides, regarding your marriage, it's inconvenient for us to find you a spouse since you live in the countryside!
The couple's excuses only made Zhao Liang laugh, and he did indeed laugh.
The bitterness in that smile made Ma Pingchuan's heart clench, but he knew that without destruction there could be no construction. Once he saw things clearly, he would no longer have any hope for the Zhao family, and naturally he would no longer be affected or harmed by them.
Zhao Qiang and Zhao Gang exchanged a glance, then immediately turned their heads away. They had always looked down on their second brother.
Naturally, they wouldn't feel that they had gone too far in the past.
"Mom and Dad, since the second son wants to sever ties with his family, you should agree!"
