"What does Jianjun mean by this? Such a big thing and we didn't even know?"
"Do you even consider me your older brother? And regarding your younger brother, he didn't even think of you when good things happened to him."
“Who are his family members? He treats Cheng Cai and You Cai as family, but he doesn’t care about his nephew at all.”
As Sister-in-law Guo spoke, tears streamed down her face. Nowadays, many people come to chat with her whenever they have free time, which makes her feel increasingly distressed.
It seems that her son has now been admitted to university, but Jianjun and Tingting missed this opportunity.
How could she not feel terrible? The anger in her heart had long been uncontrollable.
“Say something, instead of just sitting there saying nothing.”
"What do you want me to say? Jianjun has his reasons for everything he does. What are you doing?"
"Whose side are you on? What are you thinking?"
"You know what the situation was like a few years ago. If you were asked to go, would you dare to go? Besides, even if our children studied, would they be able to pass the exam?"
"How will we know if we don't try? Isn't our son better than Chengcai and Youcai?"
The same situation applies to Guo Jianjun's second brother's family.
"You said that your eldest brother's children are not as smart as ours, and he doesn't even care about our fourth child."
"We need to ask them what they really mean. See what people outside are saying."
"I don't dare to go out now. I feel ashamed if people laugh at me."
“What does this have to do with us, honey? Have you forgotten how much Jianjun gave you when you gave birth to our fourth child?”
"We must not forget our roots. There are reasons for everything we did to build the army. Don't overthink it."
“You’re right, but I still feel uneasy. Compared to his nephew, Cheng Cai is treated better by him.”
“Wife, don’t you think about it? Cheng Cai saved Zhu Zi back then. Shouldn’t Jianjun and his wife repay him?”
"As a way of repaying, isn't it enough that you've provided food and drink for so many years?"
"Wife, that's not right. Chengcai saved Zhuzi, but what have we done for Zhuzi and the others?"
“We are family, this is not something we should do.”
"There aren't so many 'shoulds'. Do you even feel right saying that?"
Jianjun's second sister-in-law heard these words and, although she thought they were very true, she was still very angry.
The next day, Jianjun's eldest brother's family and his second brother's family still decided to go find Jianjun and his wife.
"Big brother, second brother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you've come over."
"Jianjun, we've come to see you."
Jianjun knew their purpose in coming, but he didn't say it out loud.
"Sister-in-law, you've come here because of Cheng Cai and the others, haven't you?"
None of the people said whether it was yes or no, which was taken as an implicit agreement.
They thought about it a lot, and their biggest complaint about him was that his nephew wasn't as important as Chengcai, which made them very uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law, brother, we're all here. Let's be honest and clear things up today."
"First of all, Chengcai saved Zhuzi, and then, out of gratitude for the child, we decided to let the two brothers live in our home, and later we treated them as our own children."
"Secondly, we should actually thank Chengcai for teaching us how to read, because we didn't teach us to read."
"It's all thanks to Chengcai. He had a good relationship with those three old men, and they were all educated, so they taught these children to read."
“Brother, sister-in-law, as you know, I’m not very educated, how can I teach these children to study?”
"So these kids have achieved such results thanks to Chengcai, and it has nothing to do with us. We are just benefiting from Chengcai's success."
“Brother, sister-in-law, it’s a good thing that Zhuzi got into university. We’re all family, and we should help each other out in the future.”
After hearing this, Jianjun's eldest and second sisters-in-law were speechless; the man had made his point so clear.
Nothing can be changed now. That kid looks promising, so we can't afford to offend him.
We'll need them in the future, and Jianjun, being a sentimental person, nodded, which was considered an agreement with what Jianjun said.
Cheng Cai remained silent, knowing that his aunt and uncle were saying this on purpose.
It was also to protect him and Youcai, and I had mixed feelings about it.
The events he experienced during this period left him with many feelings, and sometimes these events caused resentment among family members.
But my aunt and uncle are not relatives, yet they have done so much for me. I am very moved and grateful.
