Tugang Village, which village or brigade nearby dares to mess with them?
They had only suffered losses in Qingshan Brigade, but all the capable fighters in the brigade had left.
They have a grudge against the Qingshan Brigade, and they want their money back after it's been taken in?
Even their own brigade is struggling.
Liu Shuhong cried quite a lot while listening to these stories.
Erzhuang has suffered greatly.
Erzhuang really does become smarter when he's pushed to the limit.
In Tugang Village, even Dazhuang, exhausted to death, dared not ask for money.
However, Da Zhuang did inquire about it, and it turned out that Er Zhuang had indeed lost a considerable amount of money there. He didn't find out the exact amount.
Erzhuang made a total of over two hundred yuan from selling the grain and seeds, and he hid the rest of the money.
This time, Dazhuang's family didn't even have any thin porridge to drink.
The child was crying because he was hungry.
Whether it was Dazhuang, Dazhuang's wife, or Aunt Wei and her husband, Erzhuang would eat whatever food they brought back, whether they borrowed or asked for it.
If there's no food, then we'll all go hungry together.
His family almost starved to death that winter.
Captain Wu couldn't bear to see anyone starve, so he stepped in and helped borrow some grain.
This family managed to survive, but everyone from the oldest to the youngest was skin and bones.
Sometimes Erzhuang would visit Chen Xiaodong and Hu Youguang's homes, and they knew why he acted that way. When he arrived, they would always prepare something for him to eat.
Erzhuang was better off than the rest of his family.
Dazhuang and his wife knelt down and begged Erzhuang to let him go.
Erzhuang said he wouldn't leave; this was his home. "If you think I'm a menace, then kill me. Whoever kills me will go to jail."
By the time spring arrived, their family couldn't afford a single penny, let alone send Dazhuang's children to school.
It's time to prepare for spring plowing.
But his family didn't even have any seeds; Erzhuang sold them all.
The whole family mobilized, begging and pleading, asking each other for seeds they could scrape together.
This time, Dazhuang even slept with the seed in his arms, afraid that Erzhuang would mess with it if he wasn't careful.
The more Aunt Wei thought about how her life had turned out, the angrier and sadder she became. A bowl of thin porridge for each person in the morning—could that possibly fill their stomachs?
In a fit of anger, she gave Erzhuang's bowl to her grandson.
Erzhuang immediately overturned the table.
Half of the plates and bowls that we had painstakingly collected at home were ruined again.
Dazhuang was also at his breaking point, and this time he desperately wanted to fight Erzhuang. He picked up a stool and smashed it at Erzhuang.
Erzhuang was always wary of him; he always carried a knife at his waist...
Da Zhuang still couldn't get it right, and his wife tried to help him, so Er Zhuang pulled out a knife...
Erzhuang didn't suffer any losses in this battle.
Da Zhuang's wife used to say that life was unbearable, but now she finally understands what it means to be unable to live a life that is unbearable.
She launched into a tirade against Aunt Wei, berating her for having to bring Erzhuang back when she was living a perfectly good life.
Aunt Wei would definitely not allow it. She traveled all the way to the capital, only to return begging for food and clothes. Who was she suffering all this for? Wasn't it to help Dazhuang's family?
Aunt Wei wasn't one to sit around being scolded. She got into a fight with Da Zhuang's wife, and they even started hitting each other.
Dazhuang still sides with his wife.
With things already like this at home, he's afraid his wife really won't stay with him anymore. What will happen to his children then?
He also harbored a deep resentment towards his mother for being useless. She could have just gone to Erzhuang to get some benefits and money; why did she have to cause him to get a divorce?
Erzhuang is currently unattached. If he had children, he wouldn't have acted this way. His most basic thought would be to earn money to support his children!
Dazhuang took sides and then complained to his mother.
Aunt Wei felt utterly disheartened.
Erzhuang hates her to death and knows he won't be able to control her in the future. Sanzhuang has been spoiled by his family; even with things like this at home, he only cares about getting enough to eat. He eats outside whenever he has food and brings it all back.
Aunt Wei doted on Dazhuang the most and was the most biased towards him. She always tried to use Dazhuang's things to subsidize the eldest son.
He actually took sides and let his wife beat her.
Why did she go to Kyoto? It was all Dazhuang's fault! Erzhuang must be living a good life. He made a mess of things when he left, so he shouldn't have had to spend some money to help himself.
Dazhuang said he couldn't get it out himself, but his mother had to be assertive.
Dazhuang found the address, and he was the one who sent him to Kyoto.
Now you're blaming yourself.
Aunt Wei was no pushover either; her daughter-in-law had scratched her face until it was covered in welts. She sat on the main road and cried.
Why is she crying? How does her son resent her? How does she show favoritism? He always steals things from his second son's family to subsidize his eldest son. She's the one who caused the divorce in his second son's family.
It was all Dazhuang's fault...
Dazhuang said Erzhuang's wife was too controlling, managing everything in the house. Only if Erzhuang divorced such a wife could he be on the same page as his mother…
A crowd gathered, listening to Aunt Wei's tearful lament. Da Zhuang tried to pull his mother home, but Er Zhuang wouldn't let him.
Erzhuang watched all of this from the crowd.
Actually, everyone knew what was going on, but no one had said it openly. Once Aunt Wei brought it up, the matter was confirmed.
Dazhuang knew he was about to lose face. He didn't want to listen anymore and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Erzhuang picked up a brick and threw it from behind, cracking Dazhuang's skull open.
Chen Xiaodong said that Dazhuang lay on the ground for a long time without moving. Everyone thought Dazhuang had been beaten to death!
Da Zhuang's wife said she would sue Er Zhuang and make him squat in the fence.
Erzhuang chuckled and said, "Sure, I admit to hitting you!"
