"Is Big Brother angry?" Huang Xiaosan asked, somewhat displeased. "We're not even angry about what happened back then, so why should he be the one to get angry?"
“No,” Ms. Jin shook her head, “he’s angry with himself.”
Jin nodded her head and explained in a low voice, "My brother suffered a shock here. He hasn't rested since he got home. He's been working non-stop. He can't even rest for a moment. His face immediately turns cold."
"This..." Huang Xiaosan stared at him, then asked in surprise, "Could it be that Juquanlou tormented you too much?"
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaosan couldn't sit still any longer. "No, I have to go and settle accounts with them. What kind of people are they? How could perfectly normal people go crazy?"
“Husband, please don’t get agitated,” Madam Jin put down her chopsticks and quickly pulled Huang Xiaosan, who was furious. “It has nothing to do with Juquanlou. Mother said that my eldest brother has his own issues.”
"Really?" Huang Xiaosan was very skeptical.
“It’s really true,” Jin Shi said, no longer hiding anything, and told Jiang Nuan everything. “Mother said it’s better this way. It means he has more responsibility in his heart and knows how to take on burdens. She told us not to interfere. It’s better that he has a misunderstanding, so he can do more work.”
"This," Huang Xiaosan said somewhat guiltily, "isn't this too cruel?"
No wonder Mother wouldn't let me explain; so that's what she was planning.
Isn't it a bit too much to treat one's own son like this?
“Mother is also afraid,” Jin sighed. “She often says that old habits die hard. My eldest brother has always been easily influenced. Mother is afraid that he will be the same as before after a while, so she wants to teach him a lesson.”
"She's still so shrewd," Huang Xiaosan thought to himself, feeling a pang of unease.
Indeed, a mother is always a mother.
Those sons will never escape the clutches of the Five Finger Mountain.
On the other side, Xie whispered in Huang Lao Er's ear, "Husband, watch your words lately, don't ruin things for your mother."
"What is it?" Brother Huang asked, looking puzzled. "What does Mother want to do?"
"Brother, he has some misunderstandings about the family, you should just ignore it."
"What misunderstanding?"
“He always felt that his family had suffered a lot in order to improve their lives, and he felt very guilty because he was not around.” Xie was also puzzled as to why Huang Laoda had such thoughts. “In short, just ignore him.”
“Big Brother’s life at Juquanlou must be even harder,” Huang Laoda said with a sneer. “I’ve heard all about it. He has to do a lot of work every day and can only eat two slices of meat a day.”
I don't know how my older brother endured these days. If it were him, he would have made a scene long ago.
“I think so too. My elder brother overestimates himself,” Madam Xie blinked before speaking. “Whether he’s here or not really makes no difference. In fact, life is better than before. He eats, drinks, and dresses much better, and he never runs out of money. On the other hand, he’s been stuck in Juquan Tower. I don’t know what he’s been through, but he looks two or three years older.”
“It’s probably because it’s easier for my family to make money than others,” Huang Lao Er said with a sigh. “I remember a while ago, I was carrying a load of goods to sell, while my older brother went to work in town. If he was lucky, he could only earn about ten copper coins a day.”
“No, making money at home isn’t easy,” Jiang Nuan’s voice came from behind the two of them. “You may not think much of it, but in a sense, your older brother is right. The family has suffered a lot and endured a lot of hardship because of making money.”
"Not to mention how tiring it was to wash and cut cabbage a while ago, just enduring other people's disdain when harvesting cabbage was not easy. Later, the villagers changed their opinion of our family and stopped making things difficult for us."
