He only taught for half a day, where did he find such a talented person? Oh, the city! People from big places tend to be more prestigious.
"Why don't you ask your elder brother to teach you for only half a day? This way he can have more time to read and prepare for the imperial examination."
"How dare I ask for your help, big brother? When I was a kid, he would get angry at me when he saw me reading. Do you remember how he scolded my father?"
Old man Zhao closed his eyes. This bastard didn't remember any of the good things he had done to him, but remembered every bad thing he had done to him. No wonder he refused to help his family. He felt that they mistreat him and were not good to him.
Damn it, I've already done him a great favor by giving birth to him and raising him. Isn't he satisfied that I didn't drown him in a piss bucket?
It's true that greed is the root of everything.
The third brother is a narrow-minded, vindictive and greedy person.
Seeing that they were fine, Zhao Dashu wanted to leave again. To be honest, he was really tired. He couldn't stand the long journey even if he sat for so many days.
Zhao Dayong tried desperately to wink at his father, wanting him to talk about the adoption, but unfortunately the old man didn't dare to talk about it now.
The eldest and the second son both wanted to be adopted, and suddenly everyone was scrambling to give their son to the third son. This was beyond his expectations and made him very conflicted. He didn't know what to do.
Well, he planned to consult his eldest brother later and ask him for some advice. Now I can only pretend I didn’t see the look in my husband’s eyes.
Zhao Dashu died just like that. Zhao Dayong was extremely disappointed. What happened to his father? Why didn't you tell the eldest brother about the adoption?
If he told them, the third brother might not treat them the same way as before.
"Dad, why?"
"Just shut up, I know what's going on."
Zhao Dayong shut his mouth unconvinced.
"father."
"You shut up too and go back to work in the city."
Zhao Dawen was extremely dissatisfied with his father's procrastination, but he didn't dare to confront his father. In case he was really angry and didn't help him, he guaranteed that the third brother would definitely choose the eldest son's son because the relationship between the two brothers was weaker.
Helplessly, he had to go back to the county town. Before his death, Old Mrs. Sun packed him a bag of snacks and a piece of meat. The mother-in-law's blatant favoritism made Zhao Dayong and Li very angry.
Old man Zhao put his hands behind his back, holding his pipe and walked out of the yard slowly. He couldn't stay in this house anymore, so he might as well go and chat with his eldest brother.
He is the patriarch, so he must have a deeper and longer-term view of things than him.
“Brother!”
"Here they come!" Zhao Dashu came back to the village with such a big ceremony today. He had already heard about it from his daughter-in-law at home. She described it vividly and was extremely excited, as if she was the one who bought the people and the carriage.
"Sit down."
Old man Zhao sat next to him and said, "What's the matter? Are you feeling unhappy seeing that the third brother is living a better life?" He knew his third brother well. He had always been the type who would not do anything without a profit since he was young. The son whom he disliked became successful, but he was still living a miserable life. It would be a miracle if he could feel at ease.
Old man Zhao shook his head, "Yes and no."
Patriarch Zhao turned around and asked, "Anything else?"
"Brother, the eldest and second son both want to give their son to the third son, what should we do?"
Patriarch Zhao was not surprised at all. Not to mention the current Zhao Laosan, even when he only had one big house, many clan members had their eyes on him.
There were more than six people who had expressed that intention in front of him, especially those from poor families who wished they could keep only one son who could break the pot and give all the other sons to him.
