Chapter 35 Sun Dayong Educates His Nephew
Sun Tu felt a little ashamed when he heard his uncle say that. He had indeed not considered this issue. He thought that Jing'er would go back to accompany his mother for a few years, and then he would find a way to bring both mother and Jing'er back. He also had the intention of controlling Zhao Lingmeng in this.
Sun Dayong was so disappointed with Sun Tu that he almost died of anger. "Brother Tu, have you lost your mind after all these years in Yuanjing?"
Sun Tu looked unconvinced, thinking he was very smart.
"Brother, how can you say that to Tu Ge'er!" Zhou immediately protected her son and retorted to Sun Dayong.
Sun Dayong had been tolerating Zhou for a long time, and when he heard Zhou dare to speak again, he immediately raised his hand and slapped her twice. Although Sun Dayong was old, he had been doing farm work at home for many years, so his strength was not small at all.
Zhou screamed twice before being beaten to the ground. Her cheeks instantly became red and swollen. As soon as Zhou realized what was happening, she threw herself on the ground and burst into tears. She didn't dare to fight back. Even if her husband was still alive, she wouldn't dare to fight back if her eldest brother hit her husband.
But Zhou was truly aggrieved at this moment. Although her husband had passed away long ago, her son had done well. Ever since Sun Tu showed his talent for reading, everyone around her had praised her, and no one dared to hit her. And in the past few years since arriving in Yuanjing, even daughters-in-law from high-class families had to flatter her. She had never experienced such grievances.
"Uncle?" Sun Tu immediately looked at Zhou's face and also looked at Sun Dayong with a very angry look.
Sun Dayong looked at the mother and son, and the anger in his heart burned even more. Sun Dayong rubbed his brows with a headache. "Shut up! If you keep howling, go back to the Zhou family. I've tolerated you for a long time. You can't live a good life, so why are you making such a fuss? You insist on having your son go home with you to farm the land, and you're not satisfied. You even want to take Sun Qijing back. Are you crazy?"
Seeing Sun Dayong say this, Zhou was still afraid. He really had the power to divorce her. So she stopped crying and turned to sobbing. While crying, she looked at Sun Tu with pitiful eyes. Zhou always knew how to control her son.
Seeing his nephew looking at him with such hostility, Sun Dayong would be lying if he didn't feel chilled. However, since he was his brother's only son, Sun Dayong still had to struggle. He picked up his cane and hit Sun Tu. At first, neither Sun Tu nor Zhou could dodge and took a few hits.
Later, when Zhou saw that Sun Dayong mainly wanted to beat her son, she slowly moved to the side. But at this time, she was thinking that Tu Ge'er was her eldest brother's nephew anyway, so he would not really hit him hard. But she was not sure about that, so she better stay away.
Sun Tu was hit several times on the spot, but he didn't dare to fight back. He just stood up and ran around the house, and was chased around the house by Sun Dayong and beaten. Qiu Dong and his friends repeatedly tripped Sun Tu up, and the farce finally ended when Sun Dayong got tired of running.
Sun Tu was beaten so hard that his whole body was in pain, but seeing that his uncle was so angry, he didn't dare to make him angry again. If he got hurt from his anger, the consequences would be serious.
"Uncle, don't be angry. Let's talk about it nicely if you have anything to say." Sun Tu could only compromise and persuade carefully.
"Talk nicely, you little brat, will you listen to me? Have you become stupid from studying too much? You still want to control others, what do you plan to do to Brother Jing?" Sun Dayong said angrily.
"Uncle, I didn't want to delay Jing'er's future. I just wanted him to stay with Mom for two years. Then I'll tell Madam to get him back. Then Mom will have a reason to come back."
When Zhou, who was standing next to him, heard her son say this, her eyes lit up and she felt that she had hope again.
When Sun Dayong heard what Sun Tu said, he became even angrier and raised his cane to hit the smart guy, but Sun Tu dodged to the side, so he didn't get hit.
"Uncle?"
"Are you still so proud?" Sun Dayong was really speechless at this moment, and he especially suspected that Zhou had given Tu Ge'er some stupid medicine.
Sun Tu didn't say anything, but his attitude said it all.
Sun Dayong sighed again, found the nearest stool and sat down, then smiled and said to Dongmian and the others beside him, "Miss Dongmian, I want to talk to my nephew alone for a while, is that okay?"
Dong Mian hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Sun Dayong and retreated with a group of people.
"If it weren't for my deceased brother, I really wouldn't bother with you two idiots." Sun Dayong was truly disappointed. The clan finally had someone who passed the exam to become an official, but it was ruined by Zhou, this idiot. She had no other skills, only to manipulate her own son.
Zhou and Sun Tu had both been beaten, and they didn't have the energy to argue, so they just remained silent.
"Brother Tu, Jing'er is your eldest son, right? I heard that he was raised by Zhou Shi since he was a child, and only recently moved back to live with your wife?"
Sun Tu nodded.
"I saw yesterday that he was still very close to Zhou and you?" Sun Dayong asked again.
"Jing'er is still very close to mother and me, and my lady didn't stop him from getting close to this side." After being beaten, Sun Tu didn't want to struggle anymore and told the truth.
"What about tomorrow?" Sun Dayong did not forget the way Sun Qiming looked at Zhou and Tu Ge'er last night, the way he looked at strangers.
"He has been brought up by Madam, and we don't avoid him in many things, especially when Mother made things difficult for Zhao. Ming'er saw a lot of it. So he is not very close to us, but he is also a good boy and is very protective of Madam." At this point, there was nothing Sun Tu couldn't say.
Zhou wanted to say something bad about Sun Qiming, but when she looked at her eldest brother's face, she was afraid of being beaten again, so she didn't dare to say anything.
"Oh, that's it. You still want to send Jing'er to the countryside?" After hearing this, Sun Dayong felt that sooner or later he would be pissed to death by these two idiots.
Sun Tu really didn't think of anything at this moment, and asked with a puzzled look: "Is there any connection?"
"Where's your brain! Jing'er is your eldest son, what do you want him to inherit? Do you have money? Do you have a title? Do you have connections? Don't say it, I know you don't have any.
So Jing'er will ultimately have to rely on studying to succeed. Studying requires a good academy, a good teacher, and even good connections after passing the exam. Do you have these? Do people in the countryside have these?
But your wife does! I heard that her parents dote on her. She acted like a spoiled brat when she returned to Wu'an Hou, saying she didn't have anything. But who would want a child who wasn't raised by their own side and had no feelings for their biological mother? Couldn't she have raised other sons? She doesn't rely on you or her sons for her life, so she would definitely choose someone who is filial to her.
"When the time comes, will you control her? You will only harm Jing'er. By then, his other two brothers will have passed the imperial examinations and hold high positions and salaries, while he will still be struggling to pass. How will you let him cope?"
