"How could he have become like this!"
Lin Chaobei murmured.
He knew from a young age that he was a fatherless child, so the children in the village often bullied him. Fortunately, he had his older brothers and siblings, so they would avenge him.
However, their mother alone couldn't support all four brothers, so everyone had to work, including him when he was little.
Later, as he grew older, he was able to do more and more chores around the house. In addition, he didn't want to go out and be bullied by others. Even though his older brothers avenged him, he was still bullied. So he gradually stopped going to the village and just worked every day.
Occasionally, when he went to dig for wild vegetables, he would still run into the village children, so he would be beaten up by them every now and then. In order not to delay the work at home, and to prevent his brothers who had worked hard all day from continuing to fight for him, he later chose to hide it, although he could hardly hide it from them.
He always remembered how his brothers avenged him during that time. They were all beaten black and blue, but they still patted his head, comforted him, and said they would protect him and wouldn't let him be bullied.
When did his older brother, who used to protect him, change? And why did his older brother change?
Lin Chaobei couldn't understand it.
Lin Chaonan couldn't understand it either. Perhaps it was because they weren't married yet that he couldn't comprehend Lin Chaodong's thoughts and actions at this moment.
Those who can truly understand are probably only married people, especially those who already have sons.
(︶.?︶?)
"This letter has been sent for half a month, why haven't I received a reply yet? Did they not receive it? Or do they not want to reply?"
In a small courtyard in Qinan Prefecture, Lin Chaodong was anxiously waiting for a reply from home.
The lease on their rented house is about to expire. During this time, they have spent almost all the money Yue Jiuyue gave them to pay for Liu Shi and Dazhuang's medical treatment, as well as for their food, drink, and other necessities. Moreover, they haven't had time to dig for medicinal herbs to sell this year, and the money they have saved is what Yue Jiuyue left over from the medical treatments they received. Now they really have very little left. If their families don't send them money, they won't even be able to afford to rent a carriage to go home.
Of course, Lady Liu was also anxious.
Moreover, the reason they didn't want to go home and wrote letters home was also Liu's idea.
They did all this, of course, for their son, Dazhuang.
If they don't find a skilled doctor, then Liu and Dazhuang will only be like this: one may never be able to have children again, and the other may grow up to be a sickly man who can't lift a finger.
Liu was alright, at least she had given birth to a son and had established herself in the Lin family. However, she still lacked confidence, since Dazhuang's health was poor and she could no longer have children.
But what about Dazhuang?
If he were destined to be a peasant, even if his parents were willing to support him for life, his weak health would make him a laughingstock in the countryside, and he would find it difficult to marry. They couldn't possibly choose a girl who was left over from other families and couldn't get married, could they? This was something that Liu, as his mother, would not allow.
That's why she came up with this idea: to stay in the city and let their son become a city dweller. He could study and take the imperial examinations in the future. It's hard to say what the future holds, but in terms of marriage, the range of choices would be much wider.
