Chapter 411: Spare My Life
"Bullshit, what do you mean by return the property to its original owner?" Old man Yu looked at his son Yu Zhilin fiercely and said, "That belongs to me. It's mine."
Yu Zhilin smiled bitterly: "There is a word 'ye' engraved on the jade pendant, but you told me that it is yours?"
"Dad, no matter how dumb I am, I can tell how valuable the jade pendant is just by looking at its appearance. How could you have such a valuable thing from a family like ours?" Yu Zhilin no longer wanted to get used to the person in front of him: "Or do you think that something that belongs to you has been occupying someone else's things for so long?"
At this moment, he agreed with what Yu Jiali and Xiaowu said, and was glad that the three brothers were all raised by their grandparents, so they were not like this couple.
If the three brothers were so evil-minded, they would definitely end up arguing or even fighting over a little profit.
Either you die or I live.
He looked at Old Man Yu and said, "I am very glad that I didn't see the prosperity you described. I am very grateful that you and your wife didn't bring the three of us brothers to Shangyang. Otherwise, we might have become like you."
After saying this, he covered his aching head and turned away.
I really don't want to stay in this house for a moment.
When Old Man Yu saw this scene, he was completely dumbfounded. What did his eldest son mean?
He actually despises himself?
He looked at the spacious green brick and tile house in front of him, and then thought that his great-grandson who used to like to run around him was no longer willing to come to his place.
My wife is still in hospital.
So, he was the only one left in this family.
Yu Zhilin left his own home and finally went to the home of the second oldest, Yu Zhiqing. Yu Zhiqing had just come back from working in the fields and saw that his eldest brother's forehead was swollen and red. He quickly asked, "Brother, what happened to you? Did you get hurt?"
Yu Zhilin sat on a stone pier outside the door and said calmly, "The old man beat me."
Yu Zhiqing's wife came forward to take a look and was extremely surprised: "Oh my God, it hit the forehead. This is fatal."
"Dad, take my brother to see a doctor right away."
Seeing that his elder brother didn't look very well, Yu Zhiqing stood up and was about to help him up, but was stopped by Yu Zhilin: "No, I'm fine, just let me sit here for a while."
Yu Zhiqing's wife frowned slightly when she saw this, and shouted towards the house, "Big brother, hurry up and come out and carry your uncle to the hospital."
Yu Zhilin wanted to say no, but he was already on a broad back, and his nephew's laughing voice came from the front: "Uncle, don't move, or we will all fall down."
Yu Zhilin had no choice but to resign and let his nephew carry him to see a doctor.
Yu Zhiqing walked aside and asked what was going on.
Yu Zhilin told him everything in detail.
Yu Zhiqing's eldest son, Yu Jiawu, was shocked when he heard that his grandfather had hidden some good things: "My grandfather actually hid so many good things."
"When Jia Shuang was sick, he was reluctant to take it out, otherwise my uncle would have given it to me."
Yu Jiawu didn't say anything else. Yu Zhilin and his brothers understood what he had left to say.
Because I figured it out, I felt very sad and painful, and even more heartbroken by my parents' actions.
In the years since they returned to their hometown, the three brothers have always been filial to him, and the children also respect them. But when the three brothers need money when something happens at home, they never intend to give money, but only send telegrams to the youngest brother, crying poor.
Yu Zhiqing smiled bitterly: "My younger brother has been implicated by us. Over the years, he and his sister-in-law have sent a lot of money back to us."
If they were not forced to do so, they would not take the checks sent back by their younger brother. In their hearts, that was the money sent back by their younger brother to support their parents in their old age.
Thinking about it now, I find it ironic. I did send a lot of money back home, but most of it is in the hands of my parents, who rarely give them money to support them.
So, this couple of parents are not eating out from one family, but from four families.
Yu Zhilin took a deep breath, endured the pain on his forehead, and whispered: "I found several places in their room where they hid money. There were a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and gold bars. Some of the gold bars were engraved with the word Yin. I guess they were left to him by our grandparents."
"There are also some with leaf characters engraved on them, and there are also many large reunions and silver dollars."
Yu Zhilin said, "Second brother, we four brothers have been fooled by them. How could we have such parents?"
Yu Jiawu muttered, "My grandpa and grandma really treated you four brothers equally, impartially, very good."
Yu Zhiqing was choked by his son's words. How could he speak like that?
But this kid was telling the truth, and as a father, he couldn't refute his son's words.
As a son, he felt very sad that he was just a chess piece on his parents' chessboard.
Yu Zhiqing said: "I suddenly felt a little jealous of the son who was replaced by the old man. I didn't envy his wealth and glory, but I envied him for not having to face such a biological parent."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhilin smiled bitterly and nodded. They had been accustomed to this kind of life since childhood, so they didn't find it hard.
They had never seen a life of lavish food and luxury with hordes of slaves, so they could not imagine it and would not envy it.
They just feel that their lives are a bit pathetic because they have such selfish parents.
Yu Jiawu said, "Uncle, Dad, you should feel lucky because they didn't take care of you when you were little. Otherwise, you might be like the family at the end of the village, fighting to the death."
"Tsk tsk, my elder brother threw his one-year-old nephew into the river in the middle of the night just for money. It's scary to think about it."
He smiled and looked at the uncle on his back: "Uncle, luckily you are a kind person and spared my life."
Yu Zhilin ignored the pain and patted his nephew on the shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about."
Yu Zhiqing thought what his son said made sense.
He whispered, "Actually, we weren't stupid when we were little. We just didn't have money to go to school, so we had to go home and help our grandparents with work."
"Among us, the third child was the best student. Unfortunately, when he was in middle school, grandma fell ill and all the money in the family was used for her medical treatment."
"Before the third child started high school, Grandpa went to Shangyang, but didn't get any money. When he came back, he hugged the third child and cried, saying that his younger brother was seriously ill and needed medical treatment."
Yu Zhiqing sneered at this point: "Now that I think about it, my brother's illness was just an excuse. They just didn't want to spend money on us brothers."
"My younger brother was able to continue his studies because he was smart and figured out how to make money on his own."
They believed that their grandparents must have given New Year's money to their younger brother, and even to their brothers, but in the end it all fell into the hands of that couple.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhiqing's resentment towards his parents increased: "Brother, why do you think they do this?"
