“You… Yu Chengyuan, how could you be so rude and disrespectful?”
A peasant is a peasant. No matter how much money he makes, he's still just a roughneck.
I've already given you too much credit by treating you like family, and you're so ungrateful. Even if you kneel on the ground begging me when I become a government official, I won't give you a second glance.
Yu Erbao was so angry that he stopped caring so much when he spoke.
Yu Chengyuan was pleased to see that Yu Erbao was angry.
You bastard, it's good that you're angry, the angrier the better. I'd be worried if you weren't angry!
Today I'm going to make you lose your mind, expose your true colors, and let the villagers see your vicious and selfish side.
If you want to cultivate a positive public image, I'll make sure that image collapses.
"Pah!"
You're such a good-for-nothing, a parasite, a bloodsucker, and you call yourself a government official? What a load of nonsense!
You're not young anymore, you're over twenty, right? Have you ever bought anything for your grandma or your parents?
Even a small piece of candy.
Have you ever shared anything good with your older brother, Yu Dabao, who has always protected you?
Yu Erbao was speechless for a moment when asked the question, and after a long while he stammered, "I don't have a job, how can I buy things for them?"
"When I start working, I'll definitely buy them lots of things."
"Yu Chengyuan, my second brother doesn't have a job yet, where would he get the money to buy things?"
Don't slander my second brother here. He's the most filial son to my grandmother.
Seeing that his second brother was unhappy, Yu Dabao immediately spoke up for him.
"Yu Dabao, you're still a huge victim, being sold out and still helping the other person count the money."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Yu Chengyuan, what do you mean by that?"
Yu Dabao didn't understand.
"You'll understand what I mean later."
Yu Chengyuan was too lazy to explain to him.
However, someone in the crowd said, "Da Bao, Cheng Yuan means that you were used by your second brother."
Another burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
“You’re talking nonsense. My second brother isn’t like that. He said he’ll take me to the city to live a good life.”
Yu Dabao said, sticking his neck out, that he didn't believe what everyone was saying.
"Haha, see? My older brother trusts me completely."
Yu Chengyuan, you're trying to sow discord? No way! Save your breath!
Yu Chengyuan smiled enigmatically, “I don’t have the time or inclination to sow discord.”
Yu Erbao, you said you haven't bought anything for your family all these years because you haven't earned any money.
How much does it cost to buy a piece of candy?
I know that before you went to school in another city, Grandma gave you five yuan a month for pocket money, while the children of our eldest son's family didn't get a single penny.
Later, when you went to middle school, Grandma gave you ten yuan of pocket money every month, while my older brother, sister, and I didn't get a single penny.
After you go to university, in addition to your living expenses, you will have 20 yuan of pocket money every month.
With this money, can't you even buy a piece of candy or a meat bun?
You are selfish and heartless.
Even your older brother, Yu Dabao, probably doesn't receive these kinds of treatment, does he?
"How...how do you know all this?"
Yu Erbao was so shocked that he took two steps back. No one knew about these things except his grandmother and himself; he hadn't even told his parents.
These words sparked another round of heated discussion among the villagers.
"Twenty yuan a month for pocket money? This old lady Wang is really biased to no end."
“Even elementary school students get five yuan of pocket money a month.”
"That Yu Erbao is really selfish, hiding away and eating all by himself!"
"Even his own older brother, Yu Dabao, probably doesn't receive these kinds of treatment."
"Although Da Bao isn't a good person either, he always protects Er Bao, which makes him better than Yu Da Bao."
"It seems that Yu Erbao is not as selfless and filial as he appears on the surface."
"Pah! What a hypocrite! He didn't even come back to keep vigil when Old Lady Wang died. What a load of rubbish about filial piety."
The villagers started cursing at each other.
Yu Erbao became increasingly panicked as he listened, and shouted, "All of you shut up!"
I am the star of literature in our Yu family, destined to bring honor to our ancestors. Isn't it only right that my grandmother dotes on me?
Are all of you paving the way for my bright future?
It is their honor to pave the way for me.
"This is our family matter, what business is it of yours? What right do you have to criticize us?"
Yu Erbao stopped pretending and lost his previous politeness when he spoke.
Yu Erbao walked over at this moment and asked, "Second brother, is everything Yu Chengyuan said true?"
Grandma not only sends you living expenses, but also gives you twenty yuan of pocket money every month?
Then why did you write to me saying you didn't have enough money each month and asking me to send you money every month?
"So what if it's true?"
Brother, I'm writing to you because it's true that I'm short of money!
My grandma only gives me fifty yuan a month for living expenses and twenty yuan for pocket money, which adds up to seventy yuan, not nearly enough for me.
I need to buy extracurricular books, I need to treat my classmates to dinner, and I need to buy my girlfriend a birthday present.
These all cost money!
You don't have a girlfriend, so it's not wrong for you to give me your money. I can always pay you back when I start working.
Brother, when did you become so petty? I'm your younger brother!
Yu Erbao impatiently shoved Yu Dabao.
He's so annoyed. This idiot is making trouble for himself. Can't he even defend himself?
Yu Dabao was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting him to push him. Looking at the impatience and disdain on his younger brother's face, Yu Dabao realized for the first time that he did not recognize the younger brother in front of him.
Yu Chengyuan's face lit up with joy; he had successfully dismantled the first step in defeating the Yu brothers, Da Bao and Er Bao.
Now that there's a crack, things are easier to handle.
He decided to add fuel to the fire.
“Yu Erbao, you really have no shame. You don’t even have enough seventy yuan a month, and you still have to ask your older brother Yu Dabao to send you money. Don’t you feel sorry for your older brother?”
His money was earned through hard work. Look at the clothes you're wearing, and then look at the clothes your older brother is wearing.
Look at your hands, look at your older brother's hands. How can you bear to exploit your older brother's hard-earned money?
As soon as Yu Chengyuan said this, everyone looked at the Yu brothers, Da Bao and Yu Da Bao.
Yu Dabao's clothes had several patches, were faded from washing, and were made of rough fabric, indicating that they had been worn for a long time.
Yu Erbao's clothes were made of high-quality fabric without a single patch, which Yu Chengyuan could tell at a glance, and the style was also a new trend in the city.
Although the villagers couldn't recognize the fabric, they knew that Yu Erbao's clothes were not cheap.
Looking at their hands, Yu Dabao's hands were covered in calluses, his finger joints were large, and his skin was dark and cracked from years of hard work.
He looks like someone who does manual labor all year round.
Yu Erbao's hands were fair and clean, with long, slender fingers, clearly indicating that he hadn't done much manual labor.
The villagers' gazes changed instantly, filled with disdain as they looked at Yu Erbao.
