Zhang Youcai was stunned for a moment.
Zhang's mother was also stunned. She quickly said, "Fubao, it's okay. The eldest brother has always had the final say in our family. He does a lot, so it's only natural that his younger brothers and sisters listen to him."
Tian Chengcheng shook her head and said seriously, "No, nothing is as it should be."
Zhang's mother was a little embarrassed, and then explained: "Fubao, we are all fine. The second child is a little petty, he will be over it soon, don't worry about him."
Zhang Youcai thought Fubao said something bad about him, and his face turned red.
"Fubao, I'll listen to you in the future. But the ground in the yard is hardened and each family owns half. You're just renting it out. If the business is bad and you stop renting it out, you'll still suffer the loss. I can't cheat you."
Zhang Youcai said that he was still very determined. How could he let others spend money to repair his own yard?
Master Liu also supported Zhang Youcai. "What Youcai said makes sense. We are all down-to-earth people. Besides, renting the Zhang family's house would be a great help to them. Just with the rental income, their family's life would be much better."
Zhang's mother and Zhang Youcai also agreed that each family should pay half.
Tian Chengcheng was speechless.
Alas, she wasn't talking about money!
"Well, actually what I'm saying is that we can't let Brother Zhang have the final say, nor can we let him support the family alone. He's just a child, a brother, not a father. Taking care of his younger siblings is a favor, and not taking care of them is a duty, not his responsibility!
The second brother of the Zhang family looks to be eighteen years old. He is also a member of the family. Why doesn't he go out to earn money to support the family? Instead, when there is profit, he feels that his interests are harmed. His thinking is very selfish in the first place.
Tian Chengcheng said bluntly.
To be honest, she really hated her parents' inaction.
As parents, they must do their utmost to raise their children. In this era when every family is struggling, the Zhang family is not the only one in poverty. As parents, they instinctively give birth to children, and after the older children are born, they take the burden of raising the younger ones for granted. The younger brothers and sisters also take this protection for granted!
Why?
Should the boss die?
After hearing Tian Chengcheng's words, Zhang's mother and Zhang Youcai were stunned again. They didn't understand what Tian Chengcheng meant for a moment.
"Fubao, my second brother has been narrow-minded since he was a child. Don't bother with him," said Zhang Youcai.
Looking at Zhang Youcai's simple and kind face, Tian Chengcheng felt really sorry for him.
Such kindness without edges will eventually get hurt. When he is covered with scars, I wonder if his smile will still be so bright?
"Brother Zhang, you are a kind person, capable and responsible. You have devoted yourself to your family without regrets, and you deserve our admiration.
But you have to know that kindness is the most beautiful quality in the world, and everyone should have good intentions. If your kindness without any bottom line fosters selfishness in your younger brothers and sisters, then it is your fault!
They have developed a selfish character, and you can tolerate them without limits in this family, but one day they will leave this family and deal with people outside the family, and no one will tolerate their selfishness.
Therefore, kindness must have warmth, edges, and boundaries. You can't be overly controlling in some things. You need to teach them to be grateful and learn how to get along with others."
Tian Chengcheng spoke in a soft voice, but she spoke every word very clearly and slowly.
She wanted to help Zhang Youcai and make him wake up as soon as possible, so as not to hurt others and himself, and not to get complaints from others in exchange for hard work!
Zhang Youcai's face was full of deep thought. He had never thought that being kind and protecting his younger brothers and sisters would actually hurt them.
For a moment, he found it difficult to accept.
"Fubao, what you said makes sense. I will try to change in the future," said Zhang Youcai.
In the room, when Zhang Youhua heard Tian Chengcheng's words, his face became gloomy and hatred grew in his heart.
This bastard is really good at talking, and she can even fool people. She even fooled Big Brother into not taking care of them in the future. He must find an opportunity to teach that little bastard a lesson! Let's see if she dares to talk nonsense again!
When the third and fourth brothers saw his appearance, they were so scared that they hid aside and did not dare to provoke him at all.
Because the eldest brother is always out, they have less time to spend with him, but instead spend the whole day with the second brother.
The second brother is usually fierce and never shows mercy when beating them, so both of them are afraid of him. But when the eldest brother is at home, the second brother is always silent and obedient, so the eldest brother doesn't understand the second brother at all, but the two of them know him very well.
"Don't try to change it later. This house belongs to your whole family. Whether it's spending money or making money, you four siblings should discuss it. Call your younger brothers and sisters out. They should know."
Tian Chengcheng looked into the room and met Zhang Youhua's cold eyes, which made her feel very unhappy.
Zhang Youcai looked at his mother with some embarrassment. His mother understood and nodded, saying, "What Fubao said makes sense. Let the three of them come out. If anything happens in the future, let them know that this family is not just you. Everyone should contribute to this family. It's my fault, I don't have the ability, and your father passed away early..."
When talking about the past, Zhang's mother's voice choked with sobs.
Zhang Youcai was also upset. "Mom, no one blames you. Life is hard for everyone, not just ours! Now, we have finally come to the end of our hardships, and things will get better and better."
Mother Zhang nodded emphatically. "Big Boss is right. We've finally had a happy ending after all the hardship we've endured! Don't be sad. If anything comes up, we'll face it together as a family. Everyone has their responsibilities! The three of you come out and listen."
At this moment, she found an opportunity to liberate the eldest brother. After all, the eldest brother has contributed too much to this family over the years.
He is already 25 years old, and it will be difficult for him to get married if he delays for another two years!
The three siblings finally came out. They looked much better today than yesterday. At least their hands, feet and faces were washed clean, and they had changed into new clothes. Seeing them lined up in a row made me feel relaxed.
Tian Chengcheng deliberately observed the three siblings. Although the three of them kept their heads down, the third and fourth siblings were really a little afraid of such a scene.
Or, he is afraid of Zhang Youhua!
"You three just heard it, right? From now on, you will have to take responsibility for all the household responsibilities. I should be the only one who supports you. Your eldest brother doesn't owe you anything. Instead, it's you who should remember that your eldest brother gets up early and goes out late every day to find work to do, just to ensure that you don't go hungry." said Zhang's mother.
"Yeah." The three of them responded, which was considered as their agreement.
Mother Zhang added, "From now on, matters in our family will be decided by a show of hands. The minority will obey the majority. Your eldest brother and I both agree on hardening the ground. The three of you should also express your opinions."
As soon as she finished speaking, the third and fourth brothers all looked at Zhang Youhua, their eyes filled with fear and uneasiness.
