Chen Weijun lowered his head. He didn't want to remember those days, nor did he want to acknowledge his elder brother's sacrifice. Otherwise, he lived a life worse than pigs and dogs during that time. Who could he blame?
If it weren't for all this hatred, he might not have been able to make it through that time. Just like what his eldest brother said, it would have been better for Mom to take him away as well.
Besides, what does the eldest brother mean by saying these things now? Isn’t he blaming his younger brothers for dragging him down?
But he was also raised by his parents. His parents raised him, so why shouldn't he support his younger brothers and sisters? This is his responsibility.
Since they have assumed this responsibility, what's wrong with their whole family relying on the eldest brother for living? Isn't it said that the eldest brother is like a father? A father raises his son all his life, so the eldest brother should also worry about his younger brother's life.
Why can he just not help their family when he says he doesn't want to? Everyone still stands on his side. It's just because he has some ability and is doing better than himself. These people just treat each other differently.
Chen Weijun quickly convinced himself, and then started cursing the person who had just scolded him.
His logic is self-consistent in his own world, but when he speaks it out loud, people think he is close to crazy. Any normal person would not say such a thing with a clear conscience.
After hearing what his elder brother said, Chen Weimin immediately thought of the dilapidated house where his brothers and sisters hid at that time. The windows were still covered with waste paper, which could not block the wind in the winter.
Sometimes, my eldest brother had no work for days, and they would just drink water to get by. Sometimes, when he was sick and had no money for medicine, my eldest brother would apologize to him with red eyes.
He still remembered his older brother feeding him water, his hands swollen like carrots from chilblains as he held the bowl. Chilblains itch when hands get hot, and at night, when his older brother slept next to him under the quilt, he would scratch his hands constantly.
Thinking of that time, Chen Weimin, a son who was already quite grown up, wanted to cry. However, it would be too embarrassing for him to cry. He was so old, and he would be laughed at by his elder brother.
He was suppressing his emotions, and his second brother's words made him feel very upset. He felt very upset for his eldest brother.
"Second brother, you are so heartless. If you hated Big Brother so much, why did you use Big Brother's money, eat Big Brother's food, and accept the job Big Brother found for you through his connections?"
"If you think life was hard back then, then you should have died. Big brother is right. Why didn't Mom take you with her? What are people like you doing in this world? Are you here just to disgust others?"
Seeing that the third brother dared to scold him, Chen Weijun pointed at his nose and said, "Third brother, what qualifications do you have to scold me? You are just a softie who lives off you. If it weren't for your luck that your wife fell in love with you, you would be worse off than me. And you are lecturing me? I think you are the one who should be expelled from our family. What's the difference between you and being a son-in-law of the Xu family?"
"If you were to end up like me, you'd probably hate Big Brother even more than I do. You think you're such a good person, but all these years of eating fish, meat, and eggs have made you forget how it felt to not be able to swallow wild vegetables! I think you're the one who deserves to die the most. Wait until you get to hell and see if your parents will still recognize you, you womanizing bastard."
Chen Xiangnan still felt guilty when he saw his Third Aunt today and kept avoiding her. Fortunately, she had just entered the house and started fighting with the Second Aunt, and in the end, they were all locked up in the back room, so he and the Third Aunt didn't meet much.
Now that he was provoked by Wang Dahai, the thing he wanted to do most was to eat women's food. But what kind of nonsense was Second Uncle saying? Should those who eat women's food die?
This made him unhappy. His second uncle had lived his entire life without figuring it out. As long as a person lives comfortably, he is still a capable person no matter whose food he eats.
Just like Third Uncle who lived a good life thanks to his own abilities, and Second Uncle who had no abilities at all and yet looked down on everyone and complained about everyone, he would never live a life like a human being in his life.
For the first time in this irrational mood, Chen Xiangnan said something fair: "Second Uncle, what you said is really harsh. I don't know whether Third Uncle eats at Third Aunt's house, but people like you probably can't even eat if you want to. Not only can you not eat women's food, even the food at work has been nothing decent for so many years."
"Besides, when you say this, it sounds a bit like you're jealous of my Third Uncle being able to eat women." Chen Xiangnan looked Chen Weijun up and down, "Second Uncle, not only can't you get married with your looks, but you definitely can't get married with your personality. If you go to marry into the family like this, you'll get beaten up."
Chen Weijun slapped him in the face. "Brother and sister-in-law, is this how you teach your son? Is this how he speaks to his elders?"
Old Lady Xia slapped Chen Ligang in the face and said, "Chen Weijun, this is how you teach your son. The elders are arguing, and your son is laughing beside them. He is a beast just like you, right?"
Chen Weijun was heartbroken. He was the kind of person who loved his sons the most. He and Fang Rong could be scolded, but his sons would never be harmed. In the past, when his son was in school, if he was scolded by a classmate, he would bring the child to the door to ask for an explanation.
If you don't apologize to his son in person, he will make a scene at the door. He doesn't care about face or who is right or wrong. He only knows that his son has been bullied.
The final result was that no one except their own relatives was willing to play with the two brothers Chen Ligang and Chen Liqiang. Even though they have grown up now, other children of their age have many good friends, but they don’t have a single friend.
Just like the silly kid Chen Xiangbei, although he was not good at studying, he was still very popular. Although he had cut off ties with the group of friends who wanted to take advantage of him, he still had other friends to play with.
Unlike the two of them, even if they brought food to play with others, they would not pay attention to them. This was because of Chen Weijun's overprotection.
"Sister-in-law, who are you calling a beast?"
Old Lady Xia: "Whoever calls me a beast calls me a beast. Even a dog knows to wag its tail when you give it a bite of food. But you're so arrogant when I give you a little benefit, right?"
"Why, you want to fight me again?"
Chen Weijun's eyes turned red. "You are beasts, all of you are beasts. You look down on me and my son, right? Fine!"
He looked around and suddenly picked up a stick from the house, "Then let's die together today."
Chen Mei pushed Chen Liqiang toward him and yelled, "Brother, if you kill or injure anyone, your two sons will be the sons of murderers and labor camp inmates! Put them down immediately."
Chen Weijun did not stop and hit his youngest son hard on the head.
The man fell to the ground on the spot.
