Don't want to be thrown away...
These few words were like needles piercing Dazai's heart.
The reason for this is closely related to the eldest child’s original family.
The story can be traced back to the generation of Li Fengbei's father.
The Li family was originally a poor family, so they sent their sixteen-year-old child to join the army.
It was also because of this that the Li family received a subsidy from the army. The family had some money and was finally able to afford the bride price.
Li's father and mother found a wife, Liu Mei'e, for their eldest son Li Fengnan.
But the good days did not last long. Li's father fell seriously ill and the family spent all their money on medicine for his treatment, and also owed a lot of debts to relatives and neighbors.
In the end...
Li's father died without receiving treatment.
Before he died, he didn't even see Li Fengbei for the last time.
Even the news of his death was not sent to Li Fengbei until a year later.
As a farmer's family, without an adult man who can do heavy physical work, the Li family's life became more and more difficult.
During those years, the biggest source of income for the Li family was the allowance that Li Fengbei sent from the army.
At that time, Li Fengbei's position was not as high as it is now, he was just a private.
His allowance is not much.
Later, as Liu Mei'e became pregnant, she gave birth to two big fat boys.
For other families, it may be a great joy.
But to the poor Li family, having two more hungry mouths to feed, waiting for food and drink every day, was like the sky falling.
The burden of life suddenly fell on Li Fengnan.
In order to support his large family, Li Fengnan not only had to work in the fields, but also had to find every way to make money.
I'm just a peasant. Apart from doing dirty and tiring physical work, how can I make money other than this?
This went on for three years.
Liu Mei'e was pregnant for the second time, and her three cubs were born with loud cries.
Li Fengnan gritted his teeth and worked hard.
But when the third child was one year old, Li Fengnan died.
A middle-aged man in his thirties.
He died of overwork.
The pillar of the Li family has completely collapsed.
Life was even more unbearable, and we could only make ends meet every day.
The two remaining women in the family took care of the three children with great difficulty.
During those hard days, Sanzai was just a baby in swaddling clothes, with no memories at all. He could only have a runny nose and cry for milk.
Erzai is careless and forgetful, and he didn't seem to take it to heart.
But the big one is different...
When they were in Li Fengnan, Liu Mei'e and Li's mother had to work in the fields, so she left all the housework to the eldest son, who also asked him to take care of his two younger brothers.
The eldest cub at that time was only three or four years old.
A little kid of three or four years old, carrying one on his back and holding another in his hand.
You have to walk several miles along the mountain road to fetch water and collect firewood.
Going to the river to wash clothes in the middle of winter.
If it's just a little bit hard, the family can still get through it by staying together.
But Liu Mei'e is not a person with a good temper.
When Li Fengnan was still alive, Liu Mei'e was a shrew.
