Seeing that there were only two steamed buns left, Zhao Youfu quickly stuffed one into Old Lady Wang's mouth and then took a bite of one himself.
Zhao Youcai was the only one at the table who didn't have a steamed bun in his hand.
Zhao Youcai's face was gloomy. In a room full of wolves and tigers, no one cared about him. Only Shulan felt sorry for him. But he still had to eat this meal. "Fourth daughter-in-law, give me another steamed bun."
Zhang Zhaodi sat still and said, "Dad, there are no more steamed buns at home."
"Why are there no steamed buns again? Didn't you just steam them today?"
"I only steamed about twenty of them. I had a few left over for today, but my uncle came over this afternoon and ate three in one go."
Zhao Youcai understood that Chen Zhenzhen refused to steam more buns, and Zhang Zhaodi also refused, and only steamed buns for the day they cooked.
"You two are wasting coal by steaming buns like this. From now on, each of you will have to cook for a week."
The arrangements are now clear, but it is also a fact that Zhao Youcai has no steamed buns to eat.
"Fourth daughter-in-law, please make me a bowl of noodle soup."
"The stove is sealed, and it will waste too much coal briquettes to cook." Zhang Zhaodi couldn't help but use Zhao Youcai's previous words to mock him.
Zhao Youcai choked: "Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Zhao Yang clapped his hands and said, "Grandpa, we told this story in kindergarten today. You only allow officials to set fires, but not allow the people to light lamps."
Zhao Youcai's face darkened, and he wanted to hit Zhao Yang's hand with his chopsticks. Chen Zhenzhen quickly changed the subject: "Dad, how many people should we cook for tomorrow?"
Zhao Youcai sighed. He couldn't hide it anyway. "From now on, you should cook more for one person. Your uncle will live and eat at our house."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two brothers Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye stood up excitedly.
Zhao Xingjia: "Dad, you are confused."
Zhao Xingye: "We both pay our salaries to our family. This is our family's business. It's already too much for you to support grandma, how can you also support your uncle?"
"Don't worry, your uncle doesn't need you to support him. Your three aunts will provide him with food. He can live in my room and it won't bother you."
This was the solution Zhao Youcai had just come up with after much thought: to continue asking his three sisters to contribute 15 yuan a month to support Zhao Youfu. He didn't have the money to support Zhao Youfu anyway.
"Will the aunts agree?"
"Two days ago, grandma was in the hospital, and my aunt didn't pay for it. How can she pay now?"
"I think it's uncertain. Didn't my eldest aunt's cousin go to the hospital and make a scene a few days ago?"
"Dad, stop fooling us."
The four of them were chattering, while the five-year-old Zhao Yang was just busy eating. It was just right that they didn't eat, as he ate all the dishes himself. He usually didn't have enough to eat at night.
Zhao Youfu looked at his elder brother who was in a state of panic, and rushed to grab the food with Zhao Yang. Anyway, he would definitely not be kicked out. How to keep him here now was his elder brother's business, not his own.
Zhao Youcai coughed and said, "Your aunts will definitely take care of your uncle. Brothers and sisters should love each other. You should learn from them and stop being petty and quarreling over trivial matters."
Zhang Zhaodi rolled her eyes. The so-called friendship was just exploiting her three aunts, just like her parents. Fortunately, she was always sober and didn't let them coax her and only cared about her younger brother.
Chen Zhenzhen also knew the situation of her three aunts:
"Then call the aunts over now and see if they are willing to provide food for my uncle. Only if they do, my uncle can stay here."
Zhao Youcai glanced at Zhao Youfu, who was eating heartlessly and happily, and said, "Go and have a good talk with the sisters."
Zhao Youfu shook his head: "Look how badly I was beaten today. I feel dizzy after walking a few steps. If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't go." Anyway, he is not the one who is in a hurry now. Let his elder brother go.
Zhao Youcai was afraid that his two sons would go, and his three sisters refused to pay, so in the end he had to go alone, touching his empty belly, what a sin.
After Zhao Youcai left, the others were about to eat when they found that the food in the bowl was almost gone.
Zhao Yang quickly put down his chopsticks: "These are all eaten by my uncle."
Zhao Youfu pointed at Zhao Yang's bulging belly and said, "You eat the most, little bastard."
Zhao Xingjia didn't believe it: "How much can a child like Zhao Yang eat?"
"Uncle, do you look like you're at someone else's house? We haven't eaten yet, but you've finished the dishes."
Zhao Youfu patted his belly and said nonchalantly, "This isn't someone else's home. This is my home, isn't it? My mom's home, my brother's home, this is my home."
Zhao Xingjia's face turned pale with anger: "You are shameless. How can your brother's home be your home? This is my home, and you are so arrogant in my home."
"What do you mean by your home or my home? This is my home. Besides, your dad doesn't dare to chase me away. You want to chase me away? Do you believe your dad will break your legs?"
Zhao Xingjia was so angry that he wanted to hit Zhao Youfu. Zhao Youfu shouted, "Neighbors, come and see! Zhao Xingjia is beating his elders."
After the incident, he even boasted to Zhao Xingjia: "If you hit me on the head and kill me, you can shoot me. If you can't kill me, you can support me from now on."
Zhao Xingjia had no way to deal with Zhao Youfu. He rushed out of the house angrily. He regretted it and wanted to follow his mother. If he and Chen Zhenzhen apologized to his mother, would his mother forgive him?
He wanted to go find his mother.
Zhao Youcai just knocked on Sister Zhao's door.
