"Little brother?" As soon as Zhao Dawen got off work, he saw his brother-in-law waiting outside the school. No, what is he here for?
One after another, people would come to the school to find him for no reason, which made him very annoyed.
"Brother-in-law."
"Hello, uncle!"
Wang Dabao had been waiting at the door for more than an hour and was already getting impatient. "I went to your house, and the neighbors said you had moved. I had no choice but to come to the school and wait for someone.
Brother-in-law, you moved, why didn’t you tell us? ”
He was so busy every day that he had no time to think about sending a letter to the Yue family. Besides, he was unhappy when he returned home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, so he wouldn't say it even if he thought about it. Wang's own family should take care of themselves, it has nothing to do with him.
"Maybe your elder sister was too busy to remember. There have been too many things going on at home recently. Come on, I'll take you home to introduce you to the locals."
Wang Dabao stopped talking and followed Zhao Dawen home.
"Dabao, how are your parents-in-law doing recently?"
"Oh no, my baby has a lot of problems. I have pains here and there every day. I have to see a doctor every now and then."
Zhao Dawen wanted to slap himself in the face. He was such a bad-mouthed person and shouldn't have said even a word.
"Let your eldest sister go back tomorrow to check on them. The old couple is not in good health. Why didn't you tell us earlier so that we could go and see them earlier."
"My eldest sister used to come home once every two weeks, but who would have thought that now she hasn't been seen for months."
"There have been so many things going on at home recently. You don't know how difficult it is for your sister and I to get along!"
Fuck, he just came to ask for money, and you’re already complaining about being poor before he even opens his mouth. He looks like a decent person and is a teacher, but why doesn't he do his job?
All the way, Zhao Dawen kept talking about how hard, poor and difficult his life was now, but Wang Dabao didn't say a word.
I don’t want to listen to the turtle’s chanting.
"Brother-in-law, where do you live now?"
Oh shit!
The place they live in is not even as good as their own home. Does that mean what this bastard said on the road is true?
Wang Dabao felt like the world had fallen on him. How great his expectations were when he first came here, how disappointed he was now.
"Was your house really robbed?"
"How can I lie to you? You don't know how hard your sister and I are living right now. If we couldn't make ends meet, would we have sold the house?"
There is nothing wrong with this.
"Where's the money from selling the house?"
“Lost.”
Wang Dabao looked at him sinisterly, "Brother-in-law thinks I'm a fool?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask your elder sister, or even go to the government office and ask the guards. I reported the thefts twice. If I had money, would I live here? There's not even a well, and your sister has to fetch water herself every day."
Before he finished speaking, a woman came over from the left. She was wearing coarse linen clothes and had a piece of coarse cloth wrapped around her head. She carried a shoulder pole with a bucket of water on each end. The bucket on the pole swayed as she walked, but not a drop of water spilled out.
"Big sister!" Wang Dabao felt that he must have been dazzled. How could such a village woman be his big sister who was like a noble lady?
I closed my eyes and was about to open them again when I heard Wang's surprised shout, "Dabao, you're here! Come in, come in!"
Thunder rumbled, and the eldest sister became a village woman. Wang Dabao wanted to cry. He was full of confidence when he came here today, thinking that he would be able to get some money to take home. But now they are in such a mess, there is no way he can get any money.
"Sister, you..."
Wang felt embarrassed for a moment when she thought of her current appearance. But then she comforted herself that they were her own brother's family, and he would never despise her, but would only feel more sorry for her.
"Go in first."
Wang Dabao entered the yard, which was an ordinary farmyard with four rooms. The house was very dilapidated and the yard was also very small.
He was right before he saw it, it's really not as good as his house.
Wang entered the yard, first carried the water to the water tank and put it down, then took out the shoulder pole, picked up the bucket and poured the water into the water tank.
His movements were neat and efficient, and it was obvious that he was used to doing it.
Wang Dabao felt dizzy when he saw this. At that time, his eldest sister was still a delicate lady who needed Zhao Dawen's support to walk.
"You can chat with your brother-in-law in the main room for a while, and everyone can go and cook."
"Stop working, I have to go back quickly. It will be dark soon and the road will be hard to walk on."
Wang looked at the sky and thought that it would be too late for her brother to go home tonight.
"How about staying here for a night?"
What are you staying at? He really thinks his home is a golden nest. It’s fine for him to stay for a few nights in a place like before, but not here!
"No, my parents are not in good health, and there are two children at home. Your sister-in-law can't take care of the family alone."
"My parents are sick?" Wang was extremely anxious. What should she do? Why did her parents get sick?
"Yes, it's been several months, and I haven't seen you come home and I can't tell you."
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have not gone back to see them for so long." Wang felt that she was very unfilial and felt very uncomfortable.
"Sister, I came here this time just to tell you that you know that all the money I saved was used to subsidize you.
We have spent a lot of money on medical treatment over the past few months. We really can’t bear it any longer. Look, big sister…”
Wang's face turned completely pale in an instant. She now had even less money in her pockets than in her face. Not to mention silver, she didn't even have many copper coins.
"Sister, our parents are still waiting at home."
"Boss!"
Zhao Dawen tilted his head and said, "This is your Wang family's business. He is just a son-in-law. If you have any problems, discuss them with him. Don't look for him."
Seeing that he seemed to be staying out of the matter, Wang really wanted to pounce on him and bite him to death.
Bitch, didn’t he spend all the money?
"Little brother, you have seen my current situation, really..."
Before Wang could finish her words, Wang Dabao got furious and said, "Sister, do you know how your parents treat you?
It is said that a daughter is like water spilled after she gets married, but it is not the case in our Wang family.
The two old men gave all their life savings to you. Not only did you live a life of luxury in the county town, you also secretly bought a house and hired servants.
If you tell me now that you have no money, who would believe you? ”
Zhao Dawen looked left and wanted to escape.
