"Third brother, what do you mean? Who can eat such a small amount of food? Don't you know how many mouths there are in the family?"
Zhao Dayong really couldn't help it. Now he was busy running around and didn't even have a sip of hot water. Was he also angry?
If he runs out of food in the future, won’t he be heartbroken to death?
"Second brother is really interesting. My parents are my elders, and it is my duty to be filial to them. I have never heard that being filial means being filial to one's brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece as well."
"Our house was robbed, can't you help first?"
"No, if it's to help or to send, will you write me an IOU? Besides, if the food is stolen, there's plenty in the shops in town. We can just buy some."
"There is no money at home! Cough cough..." Old man Zhao was so angry that he almost choked to death.
"Dad, I know that the family has no money. When my eldest brother went to the capital to take the exam, the family also said that they had no money. Didn't they finally get enough money? Also, doesn't my eldest brother have a house in the capital?"
The village chief looked at Zhao Dashu with admiration. He thought that the old man was not frozen to death, so he wanted to add fuel to the fire and make him angry to death.
Old man Zhao really wanted to go down and beat him up. What he meant was that he wanted him to sell the land and the eldest brother to sell the house. Obviously, he only needed to take some things from home to solve their urgent needs.
"Will you die if you take some food? I don't care. Give me some, but it's not enough for your mother and I. We have big appetites. You can go home and bring back another 200 kilograms of food."
Playing rogue? What's left after playing with Zhao Dashu?
"Dad, if you and mom have a good appetite, that's fine. No matter how much you eat, I'll cook and bring it to you every day. I'll watch you eat, and I'll clean up after you finish eating before leaving."
Since the hard approach didn’t work, the old man tried the soft approach.
"Third brother, they are your brothers and nephews. Can you bear to watch them starve?"
"Dad, their parents can bear it, why can't I? You guys don't even have enough food for a year, do you think I should support them for a year? Do I owe them anything?"
"It's only one year. Even though you are rich, you can't spend much money on food. Can't you just pity them? Third brother, you don't have a son, so don't be too harsh. If you are kind to them, they will be kind to you in the future and help Xiaoyu and Lihua. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your two daughters!"
Here it comes again, and again, poking his heart again. He is really his father and knows where it hurts.
"Dad, I finally understand that no relationship is as close as money. People should rely on themselves instead of others. Only when you are good can others respect you, right? After all these years and sufferings, I finally understand.
So, please don't keep talking to me about those things that are far away and irrelevant. In a word, if you want me to raise them, it is absolutely impossible. If you say that there is not enough food, the village chief will do it now. Tell me, how much is enough for you and your mother? It's really not possible. The clan leader can also come to bear witness. Do you two elders really have such an appetite? ”
Having said that, Zhao Dashu sat down on a low stool, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded, especially Zhao Dayong. They never thought that the third brother would be so stingy and not give a penny.
Old Mrs. Sun said nothing. To be honest, she now felt that her third son was a little timid, because, right now, if she wanted to eat and drink, she had to rely on him.
After quarreling with him for so many years, she knew that the Third Brother was not a talkative person.
Anyway, she has food to eat and she eats especially well. There is nothing we can do about other people, so let them figure it out on their own. At most, she would secretly save some to satisfy her eldest son and grandson.
"How about this, you give them some first, so that they can get through the New Year. After the New Year, I won't eat your food. I'm begging you, okay?"
