"Uncle, we have money to spend. You should keep this money for my aunt and me." Wang Tianxiao knew the old man had a hard life, so how could he accept his money?
On his way back, he had already figured out how to make money. He wouldn't suddenly become rich, but he could make a good living and be a little more affluent.
“What money do you have?” Li Wanfu retorted, pointing to the pit below the courtyard, and said helplessly, “Uncle knows you and Lili are having a hard time. This is all money I saved up. Nobody else knows. Take the money and relax.”
"I really can't take your money."
"Why are you being so long-winded, child? As long as you treat my Lili well, I'll be at peace with myself. I've been poor my whole life, but I'm not necessarily unable to make a living. You should just accept it."
As he spoke, Li Wanfu grabbed Wang Tianxiao's hand, stuffed the money into his palm, then pulled his other hand over and held it tightly before giving a simple, honest smile.
"I have to go back quickly, I can't stay here too long. If you can't make ends meet, come find us. Your aunt and I, being old bones, will help out as much as we can. Life has to move forward slowly."
Looking at his father-in-law's hands, which were covered in bulging veins, cracks, and chilblains, Wang Tianxiao felt both sad and grateful.
In his previous life, he was young and took many things for granted, thinking that it was only natural for parents to be good to their children.
Only after experiencing the vicissitudes of life do we realize how precious kindness and good deeds are. It's no wonder that a wife is so understanding, having such wonderful parents.
In contrast, in his previous life he was dull and didn't understand social etiquette. This was because his mother was too domineering, and his elder brother, Wang Tianzhong, was also very serious. He would scold him at the slightest disagreement, making him feel like he couldn't do anything right.
In fact, when he was working at the station, the old station manager admired him very much. He originally wanted to marry his daughter to him, but after learning that he had no interest in it, he wanted to train him to be the station manager. However, he felt that he was not good enough for the job and repeatedly declined. Then, a villain took advantage of the situation, which indirectly led to him being suppressed and unable to hold his head high for the rest of his life. He also suffered a serious injury during a work trip, which resulted in a disability in his left leg.
Happiness is hard to accumulate, while misfortune comes in one after another.
A person's character determines their destiny. His miserable life in his previous life was related to his surrounding environment, but it was also inseparable from his own character.
After seeing Li Wanfu off, he saw Wang Tianren poking at the chimney for him at the edge of the cliff, so he went over to him.
"Third brother, stop, I have something to tell you."
Wang Tianren placed the pole inside the chimney, leaned against it, and said impatiently, "What else is there? I'm just helping you poke it."
The Wang family children vary in height. The eldest brother, Wang Tianzhong, is the tallest, about 1.8586 meters. Wang Tianxiao, Wang Tianyi, and Wang Tiancheng are all a little over 1.8 meters tall. The sixth brother, Wang Tianxin, is still young and probably will grow taller; he is currently only a little over 1.7 meters tall.
Wang Tianren is the shortest of all the children, and he looks to be less than 1.7 meters tall, even shorter than Wang Xiaomei, the eldest daughter of the Wang family. It is unknown whether this is due to a genetic mutation.
Moreover, many of the Wang family's children inherited their father's appearance, with full foreheads and upright features. However, Wang Tianren resembled his mother, Zhang Meifeng, more, with a long face, small eyes, and a somewhat sleazy, monkey-like appearance.
Wang Tianxiao had been planting trees and patrolling the mountains for a long time. He was very strong and had been able to deal with wolves several times, which became extra meat for the forest farm.
Although they can't match many hunters in the mountains, they can easily take on two or three ordinary people.
Moreover, because he often hunted weasels, rabbits, pheasants, badgers, deer, and wild boars in the mountains, and even hunted black bears with hunters a few times, he was fine when he wasn't angry, but once he got angry, a terrifying aura would inexplicably emanate from him, and his two big eyes would glare as if he were about to kill someone.
However, in his previous life, he believed that harmony in the family was the key to prosperity, so he never completely fell out with his brothers. Therefore, despite being tall and strong, he was gradually bent over by the weight of life.
But in this life, after waking up in the snow, he completely abandoned his former self with a few hearty curses.
Wang Tianxiao was almost half a head taller than Wang Tianren, and his position was also relatively high, so he looked down on Wang Tianren. At first, Wang Tianren didn't think much of it, but seeing Wang Tianxiao's arrogant appearance, he slowly became a little intimidated.
He's not good at confronting people head-on; he prefers to scheme and plot behind the scenes.
"Third brother, did you hear what your wife said when my uncle was talking just now?"
"What did you say? I was busy working on the chimney and didn't hear you clearly."
Wang Tianxiao's chimney was on the northwest side of the pit courtyard, and his wife was right below him, making strange noises. Li Wanfu and Wang Tianxiao were on the cliff to the south, so they could hear everything. It was impossible for Wang Tianren not to hear it.
Wang Tianxiao didn't waste any more words with him and said seriously, "You'd better keep your wife in check and not let her take advantage of you."
“Then you should tell her. It’s not like I asked her to. Besides, don’t you know what the relationship is between our village and Lijia Village? You still insist on marrying a woman from Lijia Village despite Mom and our objections. Who can you blame?” Wang Tianren said dismissively, avoiding Wang Tianxiao’s gaze but not giving an inch with his words.
"Whether I marry someone or not has nothing to do with you or this family." Wang Tianxiao stared coldly at Wang Tianren. "I'm warning you again, mind your own business and don't test my patience anymore. I've put up with you two for a long time."
Wang Tianxiao placed his hand on his younger brother's shoulder, brought his face close to his, and said indifferently, "You better remember this: if anyone offends me again, I won't just give them a few words."
He shoved Wang Tianren against the chimney and said, "Hurry up and pry it open. If you can't get it open before dark, I'll fill in yours too."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After Wang Tianxiao left, Yu Xiaofeng came to her husband's side from the other side. Looking at Wang Tianxiao's back, she said with a sinister expression, "Look at you, you coward. You were threatened for so long and didn't dare to say a word."
"You know nothing," Wang Tianren replied impatiently.
Yu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out, "You Wang Tianren, you bastard, you think you're all grown up now? You dare to challenge me? Do you want to die?"
Yu Xiaofeng was not tall, just over 1.6 meters, but he was very strong. He grabbed Wang Tianren's hair and started to throw a tantrum.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let go, let go now, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Wang Tianren immediately backed down.
"What are you afraid of?" Yu Xiaofeng was like a powder keg, once ignited, it couldn't be extinguished. She grabbed Wang Tianren's hair with one hand and punched him in the chest with the other.
Wang Tianren was both shocked and furious. At first, he tried to persuade her, but when he saw out of the corner of his eye that the neighbors around him had come up from their pit courtyards to stand and watch the spectacle, he could no longer suppress his anger and kicked Yu Xiaofeng into the alfalfa field.
Still not satisfied, he climbed up and slapped his wife twice more.
