Zhao Youcai shuffled out in his cloth shoes and saw his youngest son, Zhao Jianfei, standing at the gate with a dark green canvas bag with a five-pointed star on his back. The gate was creaking and swaying.
Zhao Jianfei saw Zhao Youcai come out, and the father and son looked at each other.
"Since Dad doesn't like me, then pretend he never had a son like me! Whether I become successful or die out there, it's none of your business!" Zhao Jianfei said coldly, clearly still angry about the old man asking him for money yesterday.
Zhao Youcai couldn't stand Zhao Jianfei the most. How dare you, a son, challenge your father?
"If you become successful and stop supporting your father, I'll sue you! If you die out there, I'll do as you please and pretend I never had such an unfilial son!"
Suffering and hardship are none of my concern, and don't even think about enjoying wealth and glory all to yourself!
It's only Zhao Youcai who gets to eat meat and throw bones at others as he pleases; it's none of that little brat's place to whine and complain in front of him!
"Dad! My brother-in-law took away the only pound of flour and half a pound of rice we had!"
Seeing his eldest daughter-in-law run out of the kitchen in a panic, her voice cracking.
Zhao Youcai's eyes widened. He, the father, hadn't eaten a single grain of rice since he transmigrated, so why should this ungrateful wretch take him away!
All this refined grain is meant to be taken to town to exchange for more coarse grain. If it's all taken away, I probably won't even have the thin, watery porridge I had yesterday. That little brat wants to starve the whole family!
Zhao Youcai strode over and grabbed his canvas bag. His old arms and legs couldn't pull it off, but he had plenty of ways and means. He immediately shouted, "Eldest son's wife, fourth son's wife, you two come over and hold him down!"
Hearing the old man's shouts, his two wives rushed over. When it came to grabbing grain, they were absolutely ruthless.
Despite the significant difference in strength between men and women, both daughters-in-law, accustomed to farm work, possessed considerable strength.
Dealing with Zhao Jianfei, who is incapable of carrying anything heavy and only knows how to scheme, is more than enough.
Zhao Jianfei was so angry that his face turned red and he couldn't break free. He watched helplessly as Zhao Youcai emptied everything out of his bag, even taking away his newly bought pen. He was so shocked that his teeth were chattering.
His father, who had always doted on him, stopped indulging him and even went so far as to rob him in front of his own house!
Zhao Jianfei said anxiously, "Dad! I don't want the rice and flour anymore, give me back my pen! That pen cost me three whole yuan!"
Zhao Youcai sneered, "The money for the fountain pen was given to you by your father! What can I do if I don't want to give it to you anymore? It just so happens that my eldest grandson and granddaughter have both gone to school, and there's only one fountain pen at home, which isn't enough to go around."
When she heard Zhao Youcai say that he wanted to send his daughter to school, the eldest daughter-in-law was immediately delighted.
The old man used to be adamant that there could only be one college student in the family. If he wasn't afraid of being gossiped about by the villagers, he probably wouldn't have even let his grandson go to school, let alone his daughter.
I guess the old man was angered by what happened with the youngest child yesterday, because he actually said this morning that he wants his daughter to go to school too.
The eldest son's wife naturally wouldn't object. Zhao Youcai gave her a starting point, and she immediately chimed in, "Dad's right. We can't be nice to an ungrateful wretch like you. The whole family tightened our belts to support your schooling, and now you want to split up the family property after graduation. If my eldest and second children went to school, they would definitely repay their family in the future."
"When Da Bao and Er Bao become successful in the future, they'll buy their dad big pork knuckles every day!"
Zhao Jianfei still couldn't break free; his two sisters-in-law held him down tightly, making him even more irritable from the pain.
Although Zhao Jianfei was rarely home, he knew that his fourth sister-in-law was a blockhead.
She did whatever her father told her to do without thinking.
My second brother's niece is three years old this year, and my nephew is only eight months old. Only my eldest brother's two children are in school, so this pen will eventually end up in my sister-in-law's hands.
The eldest sister-in-law, who likes to take advantage of small things, is also cunning. She knows that her younger brother-in-law's empty promises are not as appealing as a real pen, and he is even stronger than the fourth sister-in-law in controlling people.
Seeing the ferocity in Zhao Jianfei's eyes, Zhao Youcai knew that this body was too fragile. He took the things and threw the empty bag to Zhao Jianfei from a great distance, then had his two daughters-in-law push him out and close the door. He completely ignored Zhao Jianfei's shouts and let the ingrate leave.
After all that, Zhao Youcai was quite tired. Plus, he had only eaten a bowl of bland soup yesterday, so he was so hungry he was almost fainting.
Zhao Youcai took the rice soup, which was no different from yesterday's, and drank it all in one gulp before returning to the kang (a heated brick bed) to sit cross-legged against the wall and rest.
I was too busy yesterday to properly study my cheat code. Now that things are a bit quieter today, and the family is at a peaceful time, I finally have some time to investigate it.
Even when the transparent panel is brought up, the icons are still grayed out.
I clicked on the [Simulated Hospital] icon and picked up another muscle-relaxing pill from the pharmacy, exactly the same as yesterday's.
The rest of the hospital was grayed out, and with nothing else discovered, Zhao Youcai could only leave the hospital dejectedly.
Suddenly, Zhao Youcai, with his sharp eyes, noticed a faint glow on the map at the "Happy Breakfast Shop," which was not far from the hospital, and his eyes lit up.
If Lenovo was able to take out and eat the pills yesterday, can he also eat the breakfast at the breakfast shop?
Starving, Zhao Youcai excitedly entered the breakfast stall and saw a steamer, a bowl of kneaded dough, and a bowl of red bean paste.
Once again, that tiny figure, a perfect replica of himself, appeared before him. It was as if wherever Zhao Youcai looked, that tiny figure would do exactly the same thing.
With just a glance at the basin, the little one automatically starts kneading the dough.
