049: He doesn’t even want to pay for it!
Cai Honghua knew that her eldest son would definitely have this reaction!
I had anticipated this when I decided to marry my youngest son off first, so I kept it a secret from my eldest son.
The old couple originally thought that once the girl came, the matter would be settled and it would be useless for the eldest son to object.
Unexpectedly, bad luck struck and things went wrong!
Cai Honghua quickly explained:
"Haruko, listen to me first."
Li Xinchun became angrier the more he thought about it, and refused to listen to any explanation:
"Shouldn't you help me with my marriage first, and then think about helping him? I'm the boss, and he's just a fool. You're actually thinking about finding him a wife first. What the hell are you thinking?!"
After Li Xinchun finished speaking, he walked into the house angrily.
There was a large earthen kang in the main room. After Li Xinchun entered the room, he took off his shoes and got on the kang, leaning against the headboard to rest.
Cai Honghua didn't care about her eldest son calling her own brother a fool, which was a disregard for brotherly love. She dropped the hoe, chased her son into the house, quickly apologized and poured a bowl of hot water for her son, and briefly explained the situation of that family.
Then he added:
"This happened by chance. It's not that we were biased and deliberately married your brother off first. It was that family who took the initiative to write to us, hoping to find a job here, so your father took the opportunity to make this request.
We thought at first that since he needed our help, we might as well ask for it. If he couldn't help us, we would have a reason to refuse him.
Coincidentally, there is a girl in his family who is eighteen years old this year and has not yet found a husband. She is willing to marry your brother.
Think about it, what good can a girl from a poor family have? She might have some disability, be illiterate, and have never seen the world. Such a girl can only marry someone like your brother.
Marry you, will you?"
Hearing this, Li Xinchun lost his temper again.
That’s true. If his parents had suggested this marriage to him, he would really not be happy about it!
He is a retired soldier and a truck driver. He is literate and well-educated. How could he marry an ugly girl from a poor family who has no education?
I don’t even want to pay him for it!
His parents knew that with his conditions, he would definitely be able to find someone better, so they married this poor girl from his hometown to his silly brother. There was nothing wrong with this arrangement!
Besides, he was not jealous of his parents for arranging the girl for his silly brother. He just felt that his parents had always been partial to his silly brother and even considered him first in marriage. As the pillar of the family, he just felt unbalanced.
Now that he knew this was purely a coincidence, he felt much better.
Cai Honghua noticed her son's expression gradually softening, and then continued:
"Your brother can get a wife for free anyway, so why not give it up? We originally planned to have your brother get a wife so that she could focus on taking care of him. That would free me up and allow me to focus on you, helping you find a wife, taking care of her during her confinement, raising your child, and so on. But, hey!"
Li Xinchun asked:
"What happened? Did they change their mind?"
"I didn't regret it. My family of five came all the way from my hometown in Dongyang Province, but... "
"What happened?"
"In the end, the person was lost!"
“Hmm??”
Li Xinchun really didn't expect this to be the outcome.
Lost?!
"A healthy and living person is just lost like that? Where did he go missing?"
"It was said that a family got off a train in Mishan County. After getting off the train, the girl said she needed to relieve herself. The family believed it was true and let her go.
But unexpectedly, the girl disappeared after she left. The girl's parents put down their luggage and went to chase her. As a result, the old couple also disappeared without a trace and never came back.
The two brothers were really stupid. They just waited there foolishly, saying they were afraid that their parents wouldn't be able to find them when they came back.
After waiting for two hours, the two brothers realized something was wrong. They asked one of them to watch the luggage while the other went to look for him, but they still couldn't find the person until dark.
The two of them endured the cold overnight in the county town, and the next afternoon, they found our home with some of their luggage.
At this point, Cai Honghua covered her chest again and pounded it a few times as if she couldn't breathe:
"Well, if you want to throw it away, then throw it all away. We won't say anything. The terrible thing is, the girl and her parents are missing, and these two young men are left here to find you. Isn't that infuriating?"
When Li Xinchun heard this, he also felt it was a bit strange and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
How could that family of three disappear inexplicably?
Strange--
How strange—
As Li Xinchun was thinking, it seemed as if something in his mind was stirring, as if giving him a hint.
But the hint was a little too obscure, so dark that he couldn't see it clearly, so he ignored the insignificant information.
I can't figure it out, and my head feels heavy when I think about it.
Cai Honghua sat on the kang, sighing and grumbling:
"You said we wanted his daughter, but what do you mean by giving me two young men? Do we still need young men who can eat for free?"
Cai Honghua felt angry when she thought about it.
Because of this, I really couldn’t eat these past two days!
So annoying!
Li Xinchun raised his eyes and looked around:
"You said they're here, but where's that guy? Where is he?"
Cai Honghua said unhappily:
"They went to the county town and said they had some luggage left there and hadn't brought it back. The family of five originally had all their luggage with them, but three of them got lost and all the luggage was left to the two brothers.
The two brothers couldn't carry so much luggage, so they only brought back part of it. So early this morning, they went to the county town to get the other part of the luggage.
It is said that there was also a large iron pot, two large wooden barrels, and a bamboo basket.
Didn’t you see the luggage they brought? It was a pile of junk, and no one would pick it up if they threw it on the street!"
Cai Honghua wrinkled her nose with a look of disgust on her face.
Li Xinchun had already forgotten that he was still angry with his mother. He had already joined his mother in the hatred and asked:
"What do you two mean by that? Are you planning to stay at our house?"
"That's right! He refuses to leave, what should we do?
Your father's original plan was to arrange a job for their family in the company if they could really bring a wife to your brother.
It just so happens that the company is short of a manure carrier. Letting their family do this is a job. The team shouldn't object. Since no one likes to do this job anyway, let them do it.
But now that his wife is gone, he still wants to stay here and work. How dare he be so shameless?!"
Li Xinchun objected:
"No, send those two away. They can't be kept here!"
"Your dad and I meant the same thing, but those two guys are staying here and we can't get them out!"
"You can't drive him away, right? I'll find a way."
Just as he was talking about this, footsteps were heard in the yard.
The mother and son looked out the door, and Cai Honghua suddenly whispered:
"Here they come, the two brothers are here!"
Li Xinchun saw two skinny young men wearing dog-skin hats walking towards him swayingly.
