Chapter 101 The male protagonist is back!

Looking at the pile of debris on the ground, they could only sit there and beat their chests in regret. Before they knew it, a long time had passed.

"What should we do as the head of the family?" Wang Qiulan was at a loss. She looked back at the gate. She would never have a home again.

"You can only hide in your brother's house. There is no other way. Don't tell them that our house is gone. Act as if nothing happened. Otherwise, you won't even be able to sit on a stool when you enter the house. You will be kicked out."

Thinking of his elder brother-in-law's snobbishness, Song Tiezhu could only instruct his wife. He would not take this step unless it was absolutely necessary.

Wang Qiulan didn't want to go back and embarrass herself, so she said, "But every time I go there, I bring something. This time they don't have anything to bring, and they won't welcome us if we go. Don't we have anywhere else to go?"

Song Tiezhu thought about it and realized that if he didn't bring anything, he would be kicked out.

"How about we stay together under the overpass for one night. I'll borrow some money from someone tomorrow and we can rent a house to live in temporarily."

"This is fine. It's better than my son returning home without even a place to live." Wang Qiulan looked at the house where she had lived all her life and said, "What sin have we committed? Our old age is in jeopardy!"

"Don't say such things to me!" Song Tiezhu said with a chauvinistic attitude, "Now that it has come to this, don't cry in front of me. If you cry in front of me, then we'll have to stop living together. I'm still young and can still work for a few more years. If you leave me, no one will support you!"

What Wang Qiulan was afraid of was that no one would support her, so she nodded repeatedly to show that she understood.

So they walked under the overpass in the dark, carrying the rags, and only then did they discover that there were some beggars living there.

Seeing them curled up in the corner, they could only lie down beside the wall and fall asleep in a daze.

When daybreak came, they found that the beggars had disappeared and that almost nothing they had brought with them was left as they had all been stolen.

All that was left was the torn cotton jacket covering his body.

"Who the hell did this? We have lost all our belongings!" Wang Qiulan cried and cursed.

Song Tiezhu felt that he could not bear it any longer, so he pulled her arm and said, "I feel like I have a fever, let's go to your brother's house. If this continues, we will starve to death!"

Wang Qiulan touched his forehead and found it was very hot. He obviously had a high fever. "I'll take you to the hospital first."

"We have no money, and it's useless to go to the hospital." Song Tiezhu felt extremely regretful. What sin had he committed to deserve such retribution!

"I still have jewelry on me. Let's go to the hospital and get rid of the fever first." Wang Qiulan helped the man up.

The two of them supported each other and walked towards the hospital. Their backs looked so miserable!

…

Zhao Yue got out of the car, looked at the familiar city, and returned here again. The difference from the past was that this time he came here for Su Jinxia.

I don't know how she's been doing lately. After giving it some thought, I decided to go home first to see what's going on.

So he got on the bus back home, and after more than an hour of bumpy ride, he arrived at his destination.

Taoliu Village.

The place is named after the many peach trees. The peach blossoms have already fallen at this time, and it will take some time for the peach trees to bear fruit.

After entering the village, I saw the people in the village.

"Is this the second son of the Zhao family?" Grandma Wang said with a smile, "It's been two years since we last met. You've grown so tall that I almost didn't recognize you!"

Looking at the familiar old man in front of him, when he was a child and didn’t have enough to eat, he would find work to do in the village. As long as he finished the work, they would give him some food.

Grandma Wang gave the most. Although his family was not rich, they were really good to him.

Letting the old lady pull his arm, Zhao Yue asked softly, "Grandma, how are you feeling lately? Are you okay?"

"It's OK! You came back to attend your brother's wedding, right? You came back at the perfect time, just in time for dinner." Grandma Wang clapped her hands, "You've really grown stronger, it's amazing. The little mud monkey has grown so strong now, it's time for him to get married!"

"Huh? My younger brother is getting married?" Zhao Yue frowned slightly. The telegram told him that his mother was critically ill, but in fact, his younger brother was getting married.

There are four children in the family, the eldest brother Zhao Qian, the younger brother Zhao Yong, and the younger sister Zhao Lu.

Zhao Yong is two years younger than him and just turned 19 this year. How come he got married?

No, he didn't want his brother to get married, but it was a bit too early to get married. He exchanged a few more words with Grandma Wang before leaving with his luggage.

On the way home, I met a lot of people, most of whom were going to his house to attend a wedding, and I chatted with them for a while.

I followed the crowd into the courtyard and saw my parents wearing new clothes and chatting with people who wanted to eat.

Zhao Lu was carrying firewood into the house. When she turned around, she saw a man in military uniform in the yard. She couldn't help but look at him. When she saw the man's face, she immediately shouted in surprise,

“Second brother!”

The little girl's shouting startled the people around her.

Zhao Mancang turned around and saw Lao Er who had not returned for several years. He immediately walked over, but he was not very happy in his heart because they were the ones who tricked him back.

This guy has been working outside for a few years and has become very powerful. Apart from receiving some money during the New Year and other festivals, he has never sent anything to them.

This made him very angry and he thought that he had raised the child in vain!

"You still remember to come back!"

"Dad, I want to know what's going on!"

"What else can you do? Your brother asked you to come back for his wedding! How can you be wronged?"

"Then you should explain clearly why you wrote in the telegram that my mother was critically ill."

"Can you come back otherwise?"

Yang Lan walked over and saw that the second brother was becoming more and more successful. She felt more and more uncomfortable, as if she saw that woman who was full of vigor and vitality!

"You came back and didn't even call me mom. Is this the rule the army taught you?"

"Dad, Mom." He called out in order.

Zhao Mancang directly pulled the man back to the main house. Now that he was back, the next thing would be easy to handle, so he said to his son,

"The family your brother is going to marry has a divorced elder sister. We have already decided on a match. You can marry her! The only downside is that she has a child. She is also pretty good-looking and worthy of you!"

"I don't agree!" Zhao Yue refused decisively.

"Why do you disagree? How old are you? It's time to get married. The woman is pretty and has a rich dowry. It will be good for you!" Zhao Mancang said nonchalantly, "Besides, you are in the army all year round, and you need someone to take care of your family. Otherwise, who will take care of me and your mother?"

"Are you seriously ill?" Zhao Yue retorted rudely, "I am the one who got married, not you. It has nothing to do with me if she gets divorced and has children. I have the final say in my marriage! None of you can interfere!"

"You bastard, are you rebelling?" Zhao Mancang raised his hand to hit his son but he dodged. He could only take off his shoes and said, "Come here, you have grown wings and forgotten who your father is! You can marry whoever I tell you to marry. If you can't make your own decisions, I might as well beat you to death!"

Zhao Yue faced his waving hand, reached out to catch it, and then pushed him back with force.

Zhao Mancang took a few steps back, rolled his eyes, and sat down on the ground.

"You want to beat me to death, kid! How could I give birth to a son like you?"
