"Why do they look a little strange? They don't plot against me anymore, and they don't ask me for money anymore? I've been away for so long this time, and they didn't even ask me a single question. This is not like their style!"
Zhao Xiaoyu felt that her adopted father was probably a fighting cock.
"You want them to strangle you as soon as they meet?"
"How is that possible? I'm not a bitch, it's just that I'm a little uncomfortable. Do you think they're planning to have a big one?"
Zhao Xiaoyu shook her head. "Impossible. He probably gave up. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get anything done. So he just quit. Didn't you notice that no one liked you when you went there today? You might not even get a bowl of warm water when you go back."
"No, your grandma is very enthusiastic about us!"
"Maybe he had a brain seizure. Why didn't I see my uncle and his family today? Are they not back yet?"
"Maybe. He is a scoundrel. Why would he go home if he can't find anything in the old house?"
Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile when she saw her father speaking with indignation.
"Old man, why haven't Dawen and his family come back yet? Didn't the school have a holiday yesterday? No one in the old man's family went to school today."
"Maybe something tripped him up." Old man Zhao was also a little worried. It was almost past noon. Was the eldest son not coming back today or was there something wrong at home? He sat in the yard early in the morning waiting for his eldest son and his family. His butt was sore from sitting there, but no one showed up.
He wanted his father to go to the county town to take a look, but... his father would definitely not want to do that, right?
"What could it be? I don't have anyone else in the county except them. How about we go and take a look?"
Zhao Dayong paused for a moment, then ran out of the yard, "Home, I'm going to weed the fields!"
"See? They are both very troublesome. Can you move them?"
"How can they be so selfish? They are brothers, don't they worry about their eldest brother?"
"Worried? It's possible that you're worried that he'll die soon."
Old Mrs. Sun: ...Can't you, old man, speak in a less harsh way?
"what to do?"
"Wait. I think he'll be back today. If he doesn't come back tomorrow, I'll have to go see him anyway."
"Bang."
At this time, Zhao Dawen and his family were still fishing in the county town. He was very reluctant to go back to the village and wanted to ask Wang to take the children back. In the future he could still say that it was Wang's intention, that Wang did not tell the truth and that it had nothing to do with him.
But the bitch couldn't move. She said that if he didn't go back, the whole family wouldn't go back either.
No worries!
But it is impossible for him not to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. If he dares to ask someone to tell him that he will not go home today, his parents will rush to the county town to find him tomorrow. If the neighbor says he is bald, he will die a more miserable death.
"Family, how about we go back and say Ruxin is sick?"
"My daughter has already suffered in the Qian family, do you still want to curse her?"
Wang thought that cutting the Gordian knot was a quick solution, as it would be a risk if she backed down or stretched out her head, so it would be better to just get started.
Secretly, she held on to a glimmer of hope, wondering if Ruwu Po would force Zhao Dashu to redeem the person after finding out. In the future, my daughter should marry an honest man, and marry one who lives far away.
Or they could just fake the marriage and end up with a famous one. She had heard of that before.
So she wanted to go back to the village and tell the truth. Even if she was scolded, she would still earn more than 100 taels of silver, and her daughter could also go home. What a great thing.
"Are you sure?"
"Well, master, think about the old man's temper. He hates people cheating him the most."
Zhao Dawen tugged at his hair in annoyance, "Let's go, pack up and go home."
"Go back now? Dad, there is no ox cart!" They really didn't want to walk back to the village. Why should they suffer when there was money at home?
Zhao Dawen was a delicate person and didn't want to suffer, "I'll be back tomorrow."
Wang also thought it was a good idea and suggested that they bring it up tomorrow, right in front of Zhao Laosan. Face is not as important as money and a daughter.
"Old man, I don't know what happened to your eldest brother. Why don't you go to the county town tomorrow to check it out?"
When night fell and no one was seen, the old man became a little panicked.
"Dad, I really don't have time. The autumn harvest is coming soon. If I help you with the harvest now, we can get an extra pound and a half of grain.
The eldest brother certainly didn't understand. He is already an adult, and there are so many people in the county town who are not very experienced. I am different from him. My elder brother can teach in school, but I can only work hard to make a living. We have three children who are studying, and we can’t delay them for even a single day. ”
"Come, come, come. You are all busy and have your own things. I'm an old man and can't be ordered around by anyone." He decided that if he didn't come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would take his wife with him to go there the day after tomorrow. Don't ask anyone for help, find your own son yourself.
The old man didn't eat much for dinner, partly because he was worried about his son, and partly because he was emboldened by Zhao Da.
In the house.
"Don't be angry, shall I make you a bowl of noodles?"
"I can't eat. They used to be so close and united. I did whatever I wanted. Why have they become like this now? I can't eat at all."
Old Sun sighed, "Well, it's all because of the old man. The eldest son did a terrible thing before his death. Old man, listen to my advice, let's just take care of ourselves. I've seen that none of our sons are filial.
I love my eldest brother too, but he is the most heartless. Let's live with him in his old age now, so don't push him too far. We must not offend the third brother. He is rich and can give us some money so that we will have enough food and drink. ”
Old Zhao looked up at Old Sun in surprise, "Are you sober now?"
Old Sun smiled bitterly, "It's okay to be confused. You have grown up and need someone to take care of you. Didn't you persuade me to be more sober before? Why are you confused again now?"
"I know the eldest brother is unreliable, but I'm unconsciously leaning towards him. I don't care if he's unfilial, I'm just afraid that he'll have something wrong and we won't know about it."
"Okay, let's go into the city the day after tomorrow."
Zhao Dashu came out of the old house, went home to sit for a while, and then took Zhao Xiaoyu to continue delivering holiday gifts.
When the clan leader saw him, his eyes narrowed into smiles and he held his hand for a long time without letting go. The grandmother even held Zhao Xiaoyu tightly and refused to let go.
"Dashu, you have to remember that you are a member of the Zhao family. We are of the same clan and share the same roots." Uncle Zhao had figured out Zhao Dashu's temper. Knowing that he would respond softly and not hard, he decided to be soft-hearted.
"Uncle, I always knew who I was."
Then why are you bringing people from other families to make money? There is no one in the Zhao family.
