The result was tragedy!
In order to collect herbs for a nobleman in the city, Zhao Guodong ventured into the mountains and fell off a cliff.
The person died on the spot.
The body was discovered by passing villagers three days later, and it was incomplete.
Fortunately, his head was still there, and everyone recognized him as Doctor Zhao, who was famous in the area.
These villagers were quite kind and took the initiative to help send Zhao Guodong back to the Zhao family.
When Gu Youniang saw her husband's miserable appearance, she screamed and fainted on the spot.
Then she lay in bed crying and feeling sick.
Zhao Guodong's funeral was handled by nine-year-old Zhao Qingyun and several of Gu's brothers and nephews.
The funeral was held and Zhao Guodong was buried in peace, but the Zhao family could not feel at peace.
As soon as the burly men of the Gu family left, Zhao Guodong's parents and brothers came to the door.
Old man Zhao was proud of his status and did not say a word. Instead, he sat in the main seat with a sullen face, puffing on his pipe.
As soon as Old Lady Zhao slipped out of bed, she sat in the yard and howled loudly:
"My son, my poor son, your life is so miserable!"
"A good person married a jinx. She was killed by that little bitch!"
"My son, my poor son, you are almost killing me!"
"...San'er, don't worry, Dad and Mom will definitely make the decision for you!"
The way that Old Lady Zhao "made the decision" was to drive Gu Youniang back to the Gu family's home and give the two brothers Zhao Qingyun and Zhao Qingsong to be raised by Zhao Da and Zhao Er respectively.
As for the mansion and the dozens of acres of fertile land left by Zhao Guodong, they were divided up by the three brothers of the Zhao family!
Although Zhao Qingyun is young, he is precocious.
Ahem, there's nothing he can do. He was born with a naive and weak mother, and his father is busy making money outside, so the family can only rely on him, the "eldest son".
Ever since he could remember, Zhao Qingyun has been helping with housework and taking care of his younger brother.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Qingsong, who is only three years younger than Zhao Qingyun, was raised by Zhao Qingyun.
In Zhao Qingyun's heart, he is the eldest son of the Zhao family and the pillar that will support the family in the future.
The current pillar of the family, his biological father, passed away. Zhao Qingyun was extremely sad, but he was able to stand up in the shortest time possible.
Because he knew that if he couldn't take over his father's job and support the family, he would have no home.
And this farce before him proved Zhao Qingyun's guess profoundly.
"No need! Grandpa and grandma, even though my father is gone, I'm the eldest son in the family. I will take care of my mother and my brother!"
He is already nine years old. Although he is still young, he can support the family.
"You? Humph, how old are you? Can you work in the fields or collect herbs to make money?"
Old Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears and snot with her sleeves, her triangular eyes full of disdain.
Zhao Qingyun didn't care about his grandmother's dislike. He was very clear-headed. "The fields at home were originally rented out."
His father is a doctor, not a farmer.
The family's fertile land is mostly used for renting out and collecting rent.
The father is gone, but the rules remain the same.
Relying on Tian Zuzi and the money left by his father, the three of them, mother and son, no longer have to worry about their livelihood.
There was even enough money left for him to continue his studies.
He has been studying for six years and will be able to take the boy's exam next year.
As long as he passed the imperial examination and obtained the title of scholar, he would be able to completely protect his family.
It's just two years, if you hold on, you will definitely be able to get through it.
Unfortunately, the Zhao family refused to give even these two years.
Zhao Da scolded him lightly, his tone full of sarcasm, "Qingyun, you are young and don't understand what's going on outside."
Zhao Er quickly agreed, "That's right! Do you really think it makes no difference whether your father is here or not?"
Zhao Si followed his two brothers closely, "Yes, yes, those tenants are the most cunning. They will bully a child like you."
If there is no man to support the family, the family will be bullied.
Zhao Qingyun looked at his three uncles coldly. They were his "elders" and blood relatives.
But when something unexpected happened at home, they were the first to jump out and bully them, an orphan and a widow!
"I am indeed a child, but I still have uncles and aunts. You will definitely not let us, an orphan and a widow, be bullied."
In fact, Zhao Qingyun wanted to say that his mother was indeed weak, but the Gu family also had three burly uncles and several equally strong and fierce cousins.
Why did these people from the Zhao family come out now?
Instead of making trouble at the mourning hall?
Isn’t it because you are afraid of the group of “butchers” in the Gu family?
To put it bluntly, it's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Although Zhao Qingyun lost his father, he did not completely lose his support. His maternal family would never allow him and his mother to be bullied.
"Haha, we are going to take you brothers back to the Zhao family to take care of them."
As if he had heard Zhao Qingyun's subtext, Zhao laughed loudly, then changed the subject and said meaningfully, "Gu is still young. He can't stay with Guodong forever."
Gu is a weak woman who relies on men.
No one in the Zhao family believed that she would remain faithful to Zhao Guodong.
Once Gu remarries, the Gu family will no longer be able to support the Zhao Qingyun brothers!
