After Yu Dabao stormed off, Yu Erzhu couldn't help but say to his wife, "Wife, really, Dabao is our nephew, you went too far with what you said."
If Mother were still alive, she would definitely blame us.
Now that Sanzhu and his wife are both in jail, they'll probably never get out.
These two children are quite pitiful now that they have no parents.
Now that their only loving grandmother is gone, they must be feeling terrible.
You should talk less in the future, otherwise it won't be good for us if word gets out.
"My dear husband, you're really foolish. You were easily deceived by Yu Dabao's few words."
Neither of them is a good person; they haven't come back home even once during the busy farming season these past two years.
Da Bao never sent a single penny home, and Er Bao would only send a telegram or write a letter home when he asked for money.
Do you think those two ungrateful wretches would be so heartbroken over Old Lady Wang's death that they developed a fever and fell into a coma?
Yang Juhua glared at her husband, thinking he was a fool who still couldn't see people clearly.
After listening to his wife's analysis, Yu Erzhu felt that it made some sense, but he still had doubts.
So he continued, "Honey, they're probably too busy to come back usually."
As for why the two brothers didn't come back during the days of vigil, Da Bao already explained it!
Because Erbao has a high fever and is unconscious, should he stay to take care of him?
If they truly had no heart, they wouldn't have come back now, wouldn't they, my dear wife?
Yu Erzhu always believed that even if his two nephews had no feelings for them, they must have feelings for his mother.
Because everyone in Zizhu Village knew about Wang's favoritism.
"Pah!"
Even a dog wouldn't believe a lie told to a ghost.
Look at the parents of those two brothers, they're the kind of people they are. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow.
If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.
With such bad seeds, what good seedlings can grow and what good fruit can be produced?
Even if you manage to get lucky, the result will still be something awful.
"Look at your older brother and his wife, they're kind-hearted and generous, so their son and daughter are both outstanding, and their luck is off the charts."
Yang Juhua spat on the ground and then started ranting and raving.
“Daughter-in-law, if they really don’t care about Mother’s death, then since they missed the days of mourning, there’s no need for them to come back!”
If they come back, the villagers will surely gossip and criticize them. Why should they come back to be scolded by everyone?
Yu Erzhu felt that if they really were like that, there was no need for them to go through all this trouble.
"Honey, when are you going to finally get your act together, you blockhead!"
These two brothers have been selfish, domineering, and tyrannical since childhood, always wanting to take the best of everything.
When a chicken is slaughtered for a festival, the first thing people eat is the big chicken leg; they don't eat the skin, the butt, or the wings, they only eat the chicken meat.
These two are the type who won't do anything without a reason. What do you think is their reason for coming back?
Yang Juhua plopped down and asked while cracking open the pumpkin seeds she had roasted herself.
Yu Erzhu shook his head. "Wife, why do you think those two brothers came back?"
"Silly boy..."
They naturally assumed the old woman had left behind some kind of inheritance, like savings.
Yang Juhua narrowed her eyes and said with utmost composure.
"ah………
"Wife, do you mean the two brothers came back because of the property left by their mother?"
Yu Erzhu was shocked. The person was dead, but Yu Erzhu still changed his address to "mother".
No matter what, even if Wang treated him badly, she was still the mother who gave him life and raised him.
Why are you so surprised?
Don't you believe what I'm saying?
Yang Juhua glanced at her husband, who looked surprised.
"But that doesn't make sense. Mother didn't leave any property at all."
The little over one hundred yuan left in the drawer was almost entirely used up for the funeral; where would there be any money left?
"Of course your mother has no savings. Everyone in the village knows this, but your two good nephews don't know?"
They must think that all of Wang's assets have been monopolized by our second branch, so they want to share the assets with us.
Otherwise, why would they come back now if they didn't return during the vigil?
The moment she saw Yu Dabao enter, she already guessed why he had come back.
No, no, no…
Honey, you're overthinking it. Da Bao didn't say a word about the property today. You must have misunderstood them.
That's just your guess.
"Wife, you can't say these things to anyone other than me, or it won't be good for you."
Yu Erzhu shook his head, still not believing that his two nephews had only returned for the inheritance left by their mother.
Ironically, his mother left him no property at all.
"Honey, if you don't believe what your wife says, how about we make a bet?"
Yang Juhua had an expression that said, "I knew you'd think that."
"Okay, wife, what do you want to bet on?"
"If it were me, you wouldn't think about your two nephews like that anymore."
Yu Erzhu said that in his opinion, his two nephews are now almost like orphans, which is already very pitiful.
"Let's bet..."
"Whoever loses has to wash the other's feet for a month."
Yang Juhua had an expression of impending victory.
Honey, you'll be washing my feet for a month straight!
I won 100% this time!
"Okay, I promise you, I'll bet on this."
Yu Erzhu nodded and agreed.
"Honey, you'll see that after we pay respects to the old lady tomorrow, the two brothers will bring up the matter of dividing the inheritance."
If the two brothers don't bring it up tomorrow and go straight back to the city, then I'll consider it a loss.
"Okay, it's a deal."
Yu Erzhu nodded.
Meanwhile, Yu Dabao returned home, furious and cursing, complaining to his younger brother Yu Erbao.
"Erbao, you didn't see Yang Juhua's face. She's not even human. The things she says are so awful!"
"Our mother has only been gone a short while, and she's already kicking me when I'm down like this. If it weren't for the fact that she's an elder, I would have fought her to the death!"
Yu Dabao was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. He paced back and forth in the room, looking like an angry bull.
Yu Erbao patiently offered a few words of advice: "Brother, don't get upset and hurt yourself. Auntie is always like this, we don't need to get angry with her."
She suffered so much at the hands of our grandmother and mother before, and now that she finally has a chance to vent her anger, of course she'll seize it and not let go.
On the surface, Yu Erbao and his elder brother were friendly and respectful to each other, but in reality, he looked down on his peasant brother.
I think he's brave but reckless, and he wears his heart on his sleeve. He's practically a walking emotional bomb, both wicked and stupid.
However, he was sometimes quite happy, because having a foolish older brother as a foil made his excellence stand out.
