"A Xiang, look at Huang Lao Er at the village entrance. He has become rich, built a small Western-style house for his family, and drives a car. But look at his brothers Huang Lao Da and Huang Lao San, who are from the same mother. What kind of life are they leading?" Old Man Ren was quite good at doing ideological work, and he actually gave an example to illustrate.
"That's right! Huang Lao Er has made a lot of money in the past few years, while Huang Lao Da and Huang Lao San are still wearing patched clothes! These two are really cowards. Don't they know how to let Huang Lao Er squeeze some money out of his fingers for them to use?" Ren Lao Niang's emphasis was off again, and Ren Lao Di wanted to vomit blood after hearing it.
"When Old Man Huang and Big Girl Huang were alive, they were very partial to each other. They left all the delicious food in the house to the eldest son, Huang Laoda, and the youngest son, Huang Laosan. The middle son, Huang Laoer, was not loved by his parents and could not even have enough to eat. Now, Huang Laoer has become rich, and the old couple of the Huang family are dead. How can Huang Laoda and Huang Laosan have the face to ask Huang Laoer for money?" Although Father Ren was impatient, he still patiently taught Mother Ren.
"Isn't it? Those two bastards, Huang Lao Da and Huang Lao San, used to bully Huang Lao Er a lot. When Huang Lao Er was ten years old, he stole a piece of roasted sweet potato from the stove, and was beaten by Huang Lao Da and Huang Lao San until his nose bled. Oh my God! This is not brotherhood! It's hatred..." When talking about the Huang family, Ren Lao Niang became excited.
"Alright, alright, we live in the same village. You know their family affairs, and I know them too. Why are you showing off? Are we talking about the Huang brothers' feud?" Old Man Ren angrily glared at Old Man Ren. He was just giving examples, and this stupid woman thought he was just gossiping with her.
"That's right, that's right." Old Lady Ren didn't know why Old Father Ren was so angry, but that didn't stop her from agreeing with him. If there was one thing Old Lady Ren admired most in her life, it was her husband's intelligence. He could come up with a clever idea in the blink of an eye, and even if he tricked someone, they'd still praise him. Unlike her, although she was unmatched in arguments, few in the village really respected her.
"The second Huang and the eldest Huang are brothers, not father and son. The national law states that it is the obligation of children to support the elderly, but it does not say that they have to support brothers as well." Now that it was brought up, Father Ren still patiently told Mother Ren what he knew.
Father Ren even went to town to ask someone about the legal basis of this country. Father Ren has an old friend whose son works at the county court and knows a lot about it.
"Ah? It seems to be true. After Huang Da Nv and her husband died, Huang Lao Er really never cared about his elder brother and his younger brother." With the reminder from Ren Lao's father, Ren Lao's mother had some understanding.
"So, you should be nicer to the eldest brother's wife and Xiaoyuan in the future, and stop finding fault with them." Father Ren made a final summary.
Old Man Ren really didn't believe it. He had explained it so clearly, but Old Man Ren still didn't understand the seriousness of the matter.
"What kind of law is this? Why doesn't it say that we should help our brothers?" Old Lady Ren smacked her lips, feeling a little regretful.
Seeing that Old Lady Ren hadn't begun to reflect on herself, Old Man Ren suppressed the urge to reach for his pipe and continued, "It's the same in our family. You always bring trouble to the eldest brother's family. When we're both dead, the eldest brother will definitely not care about Dahe and the others. It's so frustrating!"
This time, Mrs. Ren did not refute what Mr. Ren said and remained silent.
Speaking of which, Ren Lao Niang is not a bad person, but a mother.
In a mother's heart, she hopes that all her children can live a good life, without leaving any of them behind. Ren Lao Niang is no exception.
But in reality, even children born from the same parents have varying degrees of talent. Furthermore, everyone's circumstances are different, so their life trajectories are certainly not the same. Take Ren Dahai, for example. He had good physical fitness and happened to be in the military recruitment process, which allowed him to leave the countryside and join the army.
Ren Dahai is a man of great intelligence. After joining the army, he not only trained hard, but also took time to learn. To put it bluntly, Ren Dahai's good life is the result of his own hard work. To achieve what he has today, Ren Dahai must have endured a lot of hardships and even faced several life-threatening situations.
Ren Dahe and his siblings worked in their hometown, but they never thought about how to make their lives better. In addition, Ren's mother constantly exploited Ren Dahai to support her children, which only indulged Ren Dahe and his siblings' laziness.
Why can't Ren Dahai give the things he fought for with his life to his wife and son, but should give them to his brothers and sisters instead?
Ren Lao Niang's desperate efforts to exploit Ren Dahai's family to support the other children are unfair to Ren Dahai. Happiness is achieved through one's own efforts, not through the charity of others.
Ren Lao Niang was afraid that her children would live very different lives in the future, so she should have urged her other children to work harder to get the money and glory they wanted. That would have been the right approach.
It’s not that Old Lady Ren doesn’t know this truth, but she has always been unwilling to face it.
To put it bluntly, Ren Lao Niang relied on her identity as Ren Dahai's mother to force Ren Dahai to take out his things and distribute them to his other brothers in order to achieve the goal of "equalizing the rich and the poor."
But Ren Dahai wasn't alone. He had his own little family, a wife and children to support. How could Ren Dahai appreciate being forced by Old Lady Ren to treat his brothers and sisters well? Then... after Old Lady Ren passed away, Ren Dahai might pour out his resentment on his brothers. Trying to rally his nieces and nephews would be impossible. No! There was no need to wait for the two elders to pass away. This time, wouldn't the eldest brother's family disobey her orders?
"Old man, what do you think I should do now?" After thinking it through, Old Lady Ren felt a little panicked. She had offended the eldest son and his wife a lot over the years. Just a few months ago, she had slashed at the eldest son's wife with a pair of scissors, almost disfiguring her. And then there was Xiaoyuan, she was thinking of sending him to Ning'an Temple to become a monk, to bring good fortune to the Ren family...
"What to do? From now on, you are not allowed to cause trouble to the eldest brother's wife, nor to cause trouble to Xiaoyuan. In the village, you should say more good things about the eldest brother's family. Well... that's all for now. I'll tell you the rest when I think of it." Old Man Ren also knew that his stupid wife had gone too far towards Ren Dahai's family before. After thinking about it, he told Old Man Ren the most important things in advance.
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say." Seeing that Ren Lao's hand had already begun to touch the pipe beside him, Ren Lao Niang quickly nodded and agreed to talk about it later. Ren Lao Niang was not afraid of being beaten, but she was afraid of losing face in front of Chen Qiuyu.
In front of Chen Qiuyu, Ren Lao Niang has always been arrogant. How could Chen Qiuyu know that she was beaten at home?
