Chapter 241
He Quan was so frightened by these words that he even turned off the radio.
The rocking chair stopped rocking and he sat up straight, with a bad feeling: "What did you do again? Did you beat up your eldest brother's two sons?"
He Youde shook his head.
He kept crying.
"You, you can't have harmed your eldest brother's daughter, right? What's the point of you crying? What on earth have you done to let your eldest brother down?" The old man was so angry that he wanted to hit him with the radio, but he couldn't bear to part with the radio or his son.
He has been biased for so many years that even now that he knows that the eldest son is more filial to him, he cannot change.
He Youde was already old, crying, "Dad, you have to save me, I... do you still remember the child that my eldest brother lost a few years ago?"
He Quan had a bad feeling.
"Actually, I hired someone to steal the child. I asked them to find a way to deal with him. They were not allowed to leave him alive and threatened him with many harsh words. But the two people who hired me were cruel and greedy enough. They raised the child.
Now he brings his whole family to blackmail me.
They also said that if I didn't care about them, they would make this matter public.
Dad, you have to save me.
My elder brother has been worried about my lost nephew all these years! If he knew about it, would he still be able to take care of our family in the future?
Xiaotian, this is the most critical moment for Xiaotian.
That’s your most precious grandson, Dad! Please help me.”
He Youde burst into tears.
He Quan was crying and felt upset. Why did this damn thing make him so upset?
After a long while, He Quan kicked his stupid son aside in anger: "How could I have such a cruel son like you? Your elder brother has been so good to you all these years? How could you have the heart to do that to him?"
He Youde was even more sad: "Dad, I was also confused at the time. My brother was getting better and better, but I could only stay at home and be unemployed. There is a huge difference between their son and my son.
If eldest brother's son is gone, then won't you, eldest brother, be able to focus on raising my son?
I did this for Xiaotian too!
Otherwise, how can I do it alone? "
He Quan felt sorry for his son when he heard him say this.
Back then, he and his wife kept their youngest son at home and did not allow him to leave.
He and his wife only have two sons, so what's the use of having a daughter? Once a daughter gets married, she's no longer theirs.
One of the two sons left to realize his ambitions, and the remaining one had to stay at home with them.
The eldest son's life is so good now, but the youngest son can only rely on his eldest brother for help.
How could the gap in my heart not be huge?
He Quan softened his heart. His youngest son's future was ruined by him and his wife.
"Okay, stop crying. If you had known this would happen, why didn't you stop doing this? Now that the truth has been revealed, why do you come to me? What's the point of you coming to me?" He Quan scolded his son while trying to think of a solution for him.
Although the eldest and the second son are both his sons, there are always differences between the palms and backs of their hands.
Besides, the fact that that family came to our house proves that the eldest son is not dead, doesn’t it?
As long as he's not dead, and so many years have passed, this matter can be discussed again.
"Your sister-in-law hasn't come back yet, right?" He Quan looked at his disappointing son.
He Youde nodded repeatedly: "Not yet, Dad, you must take care of me. Even if you don't take care of me, you must take care of my son Xiaotian."
"Okay, let me show you what you are like. Come with me to meet your elder brother."
He Quan took his little son out.
It takes more than half an hour to walk from his place to his eldest son's place. When the two of them arrived, it was just noon, and He Zhifei came back to have lunch.
When he came back, he saw the old man here and was very happy.
"Dad? Why are you here at this time? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming? I could have asked someone to cook for you at noon." He Zhifei was very happy. Over the years, his father was unwilling to live with them.
Because he passed away far away at that time, Youde was left alone to take care of the two elderly people at home.
So I kept blaming him.
He also knew that he had let the old man down all these years and had been trying to find a way to make amends.
Unfortunately, Dad just doesn't want to.
He Zhifei was extremely happy, but when he looked around, he found that there was no one to cook at home, and his smile froze on his face.
He Youde saw this and explained awkwardly: "Brother, didn't my sister-in-law go to work these two days? My wife is the one who helps with cooking at home. Today, her family said that her mother was not feeling well and asked her to go back to check on her.
So this is...
Well, how about I make lunch?"
"No need, let's go out to eat." He Zhifei said quickly.
He Quan looked at his eldest son and sighed, "Your wife is such a jerk. She has been doing well for so many years and has never gone out to work. Why is she going out of town again this year? Doesn't she know that people at home need to be taken care of? Especially you, who works so hard."
He Zhifei was deeply moved: "Dad, Yingying also has her own difficulties. She has been..."
"Okay, let's not talk about her. Dad knows you all have a hard time. I came here today because I have something to ask you." He Quan said, calling his youngest son over.
He Quan's eyes were red: "Zhifei, Dad knows that you and your wife have been thinking about my grandson who was lost at birth all these years. This matter has been a pain in your heart. I, I don't know how to tell you."
"We are a family, just tell me if you have anything to say." He Zhifei was puzzled. What happened today?
He Quan immediately asked He Youde to kneel down and said, "Zhifei, the fact that your child was lost was actually related to Youde. Youde was confused at the time and was worried that you would have a child and would not take care of his child in the future.
During those years he was at home, accompanying your mother and me, he didn't have any special skills.
If his children become like him, they will be doomed.
That's why he was so foolish and asked someone to steal your child.
He didn't dare to say it all these years, and I just found out about it today."
After He Quan finished speaking, He Zhifei punched his brother in the face: "You bastard! Today, I will beat you to death..."
He Zhifei hit it twice more, and He Quan couldn't bear it any longer: "Zhifei, Dad knows you are sad, but he is your brother after all. If he hadn't been at home to take care of me and your mother, I might not be alive. Have you forgotten what your mother said to you before she left?
Have you forgotten how your brother took care of me all those years?
He is sorry for you, but without him, can you still see me? "
He Quan cried bitterly.
"Brother, please beat me to death. I am so sorry for you." He Youde felt regretful in his heart. If he had known that he was here to confess, he might as well have continued to keep it a secret!
He Zhifei couldn't punch any further.
He sat on the ground in a daze, crying loudly.
He Quan looked at his eldest son, then at his youngest son: "Zhifei, your child is still alive. We can find him by going to that county. But about your brother..."
