Yu Chengyuan led Chen Dong and another young man to sit down in the courtyard.
The villagers all gathered around to watch.
"Brothers, please have a seat. You've worked hard. Have some tea to quench your thirst."
Then tell me about my older brother.
The two of them drank a bowl of tea.
Chen Dong began, “My name is Chen Dong. I am Yu Ping’an’s team leader. I came here with him and we are also coal miners.”
Here's what happened: last night, around midnight, we heard a scream.
When I ran outside, I saw that my brother had been hit in the foot by a rock from the mountain.
He bled a lot, and we rushed him to the hospital. He survived, but the journey was too long and the delay was too long. Even if his foot heals, he won't be able to walk normally again.
"If you can't walk normally again, doesn't that make you a cripple?"
Someone in the crowd said something.
Once someone spoke up, more people joined in.
"If he becomes a cripple, oh my god, then what about Old Master Yu's family's safety...?"
"Can't I work in the coal mine anymore?"
"Nonsense, if you were the boss, would you hire a cripple to work for you?"
"This old man Yu is really unlucky. His perfectly healthy son has become a cripple?"
"Shh... Keep your voice down, it'll be bad if someone hears us!"
"What a pity, such a tall and strong man, and he's still not married!"
"I didn't get married when I was healthy and strong, and now that I'm crippled, there's no way I can think about getting married."
Yu Chengyuan glanced sharply at the crowd and immediately fell silent.
"Brother Dong, what's my older brother doing outside in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
To put on a complete show, no step can be omitted.
“I asked Brother Ping An, and he said he had diarrhea in the middle of the night and went to the outhouse.”
When I came back...
Oh, how could someone as good as Ping An encounter something like this!
Chen Dong looked heartbroken and said with great regret.
Yu Chengyuan had to admire Chen Dong's acting skills; he really did look quite convincing.
"how so?
how so?
My older brother probably can't handle this kind of blow...
Yu Chengyuan looked sad and then lowered his head and cried.
His shoulders were twitching, and everyone could tell he was very sad.
"Young man, there's nothing we can do about it. Don't be too upset. Try to persuade your older brother to think more positively."
There's something else I need to tell you.
Chen Dong patted Yu Chengyuan on the shoulder.
"Brother Dong, is there anything else?"
you say."
Yu Chengyuan raised his head, his eyes already bloodshot.
"The mine manager said that Ping An can no longer work there."
Don't blame him; your brother can't go to work given his current condition.
Even if he recovers, he won't be able to do the work down the mine anymore.
I haven't told Ping An yet, because I'm afraid he can't handle it.
Tell him after he has recovered!
There's nothing I can do about this, I hope you can understand.
Chen Dong said in a heavy tone.
"Brother Dong, I understand, I get it."
Thank you and that young man for bringing my brother back.
Yu Chengyuan nodded, looking extremely dejected.
Yu Erzhu thought to himself, "This older brother is really pitiful!"
Yang Juhua looked at her mother-in-law and thought that the eldest son's family would probably be even less liked by that old woman in the future.
However, none of this concerned them; it was just that the third wife was increasingly favored by the old lady.
This made her feel very uncomfortable.
Yu Sanzhu and his wife pulled Wang aside.
"Mom, did you hear that? Chen Dong said that people at the mine don't want to go to work safely anymore."
If I can't go to work, I won't get paid.
"From now on, only Cheng Yuan will be left on the eldest son's side. That kid is a troublemaker now; don't even talk about him not making money, even if he did, he wouldn't give it to you."
“Mother, Sanzhu is right. Ping’an is lame, and he’ll be a burden in the future. We might even have to take care of him!”
Li Hehua also said in a low voice.
"What do you two mean by saying all this?"
Are you thinking of agreeing to separate the family again?
Wang picked at her ear; the constant crying and sobbing coming from the eldest son's room was really annoying.
It's not like someone's dead, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?
"Mother, you've touched a nerve with us."
That's all there is to life for Ping An. We can't support him for the rest of his life!
When Erbao graduates from university, he'll be employed by the government in the city and will marry a city girl.
Having a lame uncle isn't really a good idea!
Yu Sanzhu thought to himself that the eldest son of the main branch was useless, and the youngest son was also good-for-nothing, so they were of no benefit to them at all.
First, we'll divide up the eldest son's family, and then we'll find a way to divide up the second son's family next year. After that, only the third son's family will be left.
"Yes, Sanzhu is right. We can't let them affect Erbao."
After they leave, I'll talk to the eldest brother and the others about dividing the family property.
Mrs. Wang nodded; nothing could affect her precious grandson.
"Mother, don't worry. My brother had an accident at the mine, so we'll definitely have to pay compensation."
Let's get the money first, then we'll talk about dividing the assets.
Li Hehua thought she should make a quick buck while she could, and not let the eldest son's wife benefit from it.
“Mother, my wife is right. Let’s get this money first, and then we can divide the family property.”
Yu Sanzhu immediately agreed.
His wife is really clever; he never thought of that.
Wang nodded, then swaggered over and arrogantly asked Chen Dong, "You're my grandson Ping An's class monitor?"
