Zhao Zhaocai pulled his hand away forcefully. He said angrily, "Mom, don't stop me. They are your sons and daughters too. You have the obligation to take care of them. Why do you have to rely on me alone? I have never seen someone as biased as you. If you do this again, I will not recognize you anymore."
After saying that, Zhao Zhaocai left home angrily.
Ms. Deng looked sad. She was wrong. The fortune teller said that Zhao Jianguo was the noble man in their family, but she forgot about it after she had Zhao Zhaocai. Now that he had severed his relationship with the Zhao family, his luck was gone.
Zhao Maohua was lying on the bed, and said with a look of disgust: "You are too kind-hearted. How did we treat them before? Have you forgotten? If we don't go looking for them, can they come back? If we don't bring Zhou Li back quickly, will our grandson have to live in someone else's house forever?"
Ms. Deng had nothing to say. At this moment, she seemed to have lost all her strength and means, and left the room like a walking corpse.
After Zhao Zhaocai left home, he went to Zhao Maosheng's house and asked, "Uncle Village Chief, is Uncle Village Chief home?"
After hearing this, Yuan Yujuan and Zhao Maosheng in the room pushed Zhao Maosheng and said, "It's you who's looking for me. Get out of here. I don't want to help you deal with it."
Zhao Maosheng was helpless after hearing this. He put on his hat and walked out. When he saw Zhao Zhaocai, he asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Don't I think about the fact that my mother is sick now? We don't have much savings at home, so I was thinking about finding my eldest brother. It doesn't matter whether we divide the family or not. His parents are sick, so as a son, he should be responsible!" Zhao Zhaocai's words sounded nice, but his inner thoughts were revealed.
"When Wenjuan separated from your family, she gave them three thousand yuan. That means they won't be responsible if your parents get sick again. Why are you looking for them now?" Zhao Maosheng said, smoking a pipe and standing on the steps, looking down at Zhao Zhaocai.
"But my parents raised them both to adulthood. Do you think you can buy off this relationship with just three thousand yuan? If it weren't for my parents, it's hard to say whether my eldest brother could have survived." Zhao Zhaocai said cunningly.
Zhao Maosheng smoked his pipe and stared at Zhao Zhaocai without saying a word. This was the first time he had seen someone so shameless at his age.
"Uncle village chief, I really have no choice. All the money in the family has been used up. My mother still can't speak, and my father's legs need medicine every day. It's really too much for our family to afford, otherwise I wouldn't be able to ask my eldest brother and others for help." Zhao Zhaocai said directly in a pitiful manner after seeing Zhao Maosheng didn't say anything.
Zhao Maosheng looked at Zhao Zhaocai speechlessly: "You don't even know how to tell a lie. Then why don't you tell me which hospital you went to and what medicine you took? Three thousand yuan can be spent. I'm afraid the panacea is not that expensive!"
"Anyway, our family is really out of money. Now you are the only one who can help us. Please write a letter to my eldest brother and ask them to come back." Zhao Zhaocai said pitifully. It was impossible for him to explain that he had squandered all the money!
"If you want to write it, write it yourself. I won't help you. They don't need to be responsible for this kind of thing." Zhao Maosheng was not one of those people who couldn't figure things out, not to mention that Zhao Jianguo helped him like that.
He introduced his son Huzi to join the army. This made him so successful that he sent 50 kilograms of pork back home. The villagers were envious at that time!
When Zhao Zhaocai heard that Zhao Maosheng was still unwilling to help him, he got angry and turned away. He wrote it himself. He didn't believe that Zhao Jianguo and his men would not come back. If they didn't come back, he would go directly to the army and ask their leaders for an explanation.
Even if he has to retire, they have to come back to take care of him. If they want to come back home, they can also ask him to pay the retirement fee.
After returning home, Zhao Zhaocai kicked over the stool in the living room. He said angrily, "This group of people is really disgusting. They are all looking down on others. When my family was rich, they were not like this before. Now it's different. They flatter the powerful and look down on the weak."
If Zhao Maosheng heard this, he would definitely push Zhao Zhaocai into the water to sober him up. Has he ever used a penny from him in these years? Does their family have money? It's none of his business. He takes care of their family just for Zhao Jianguo's sake.
Now the Zhao family has kicked Zhao Jianguo's family out. Why should he give them face? Just letting him in was already a sign of respect for him.
"What's wrong with attracting wealth? Didn't the village chief agree? Cough cough cough cough..." After saying a few words, Old Man Zhao started coughing non-stop.
Mrs. Deng appeared out of nowhere and quickly handed a glass of water to Old Man Zhao. After drinking the water, Old Man Zhao felt better.
"I just went to see Zhao Maosheng. I was so humble, but he still refused to help. I'd better write a letter to my eldest brother myself. If they don't come back, I will go directly to the troops." Zhao Zhaocai said angrily.
"Okay, that notebook has your eldest brother's address. You must ask him to come back as soon as possible. If he doesn't come back, you can ask his wife to come back. Your mother is mute now, and you have to take medicine every time for my legs. Doesn't your eldest sister-in-law have a father who is a miracle doctor? Ask him to come back and check my legs and your mother's throat." Old Man Zhao said while calculating.
Chen Yitang: "..." Oh, the abacus beads are falling on my face, who do you think you are?
At Zhao Hongtiao's house, after packing the dried pumpkin and eggplant, they began to dig out a jar of pickled peppers and pickled radishes. These were Zeng Wenjuan's favorites. She thought that they didn't grow vegetables, and there would definitely be none this year, so she planned to send her two jars.
"Sister, don't forget the cloth shoes you made for Goudan and Sister Wenjuan. The soles of those shoes are very comfortable. If you want to send them over separately, it will cost you one cent more." The third sister, Zhao Hongxia, reminded.
Zhao Hongtiao stood up as if she had just remembered something and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this. I'll go in and get it. I packed it last night."
Zhao Hongtiao took out four pairs of cloth shoes, two pairs for Goudan and two pairs for Zeng Wenjuan, and two scarves, one for each of the mother and son.
"Please help me check if there is anything I have forgotten. Don't wait until after you have sent it out to remember it, because that would be troublesome." Zhao Hongtiao put all the things to be sent on the table and said to her sisters.
The younger sisters looked left and right, up and down.
"Everything is here, but we have so many pumpkins at home, eldest sister, how about sending two to Sister Wenjuan?" asked the fifth sister Zhao Hongmei.
