"That's good. If Zhaodi leaves, we won't be able to handle the housework. It's just right that Dazhuzi's wife can take over."
"You're right. I'm thinking about reclaiming some more wasteland. Our family's biggest source of income is selling vegetables."
"Well, when my wife comes home, we can go to open up wasteland together. I'm sure we won't mind working together. It's fun for a couple to work together."
The eldest son Zhao Dayong, who always fights for everything, has a headache. He is so old but still like a child, never considering the family and dreaming all day long. "Make a wish, Dazhuzi is hard to control."
"Erzhuzi is about the same. He has lost his focus after being taught by Dazhuzi over the past few years and just slacks off while working. By the way, when Dazhuzi gets married, will he live in his current house or in Zhaodi's house?"
"Let's live in Zhaodi's house and get married soon. Erzhuzi used to be such an obedient child, but he was corrupted by him."
Mrs. Xi said nothing. The eldest son resented them in his heart. He didn't care about the family affairs at all. No matter how they were beaten or scolded, they would not move. Even if they went to work reluctantly, they would just sit there and not do much work. Erzhuzi followed suit. If it weren't for Zhaodi, the couple would have almost gone bankrupt.
Not only was her man's back bent, his hair was also messy. Seeing this, Shirley's eyes were filled with tears. She turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"What should we do if Dazhuzi continues to behave the same way after getting married, and even drags his wife along with him and stops working?"
Even if they were as hard-working as oxen, they could not finish the work. There were so many vegetable fields, farmland, and grandma's land. They had to go out to set up stalls every day. There was no way they could finish the work.
"If he doesn't do it, then don't eat. If he wants to die, I'll make his wish come true!"
Zhao Dayong had tolerated his eldest son's troubles for a long time. He didn't understand how he had created such a troublemaker. He had led Erzhuzi astray and so had Sanzhuzi. As long as they weren't paying attention, he would deliberately keep Sanzhuzi hanging and not let him study well.
He had beaten and scolded him, but he still did what he wanted. He didn't understand. When did his son become so bad? He was kind and polite to others, but he was only mean to his own people.
Therefore, the bastard has had a good reputation in the village in the past two years. Zhao Dayong felt a little sad because he was so upset by his own son.
"Dazhu is evil at heart."
"I don't know who he takes after, he just bullies his family." After a long time of thinking, she still couldn't figure out what the root of her eldest son's evil was. "You said that he is like this even though we can move and do things. If we can't do things in the future, will he just starve us to death?"
Zhao Dayong was chilled, he felt that this possibility was very high.
"We can't live with him in his old age, or we'll die without knowing how."
"Who then?"
"Second son, he is a henpecked bastard. We can control him." It is unknown how many years the third son will have to study, so it is better for them not to drag him down.
"Fortunately, we are not too old to be unable to move." She envied her mother-in-law, seeing how comfortable she was living now. As long as one of the three sons was promising, their life would not be bad.
"Master, do you think that my third brother and Xiao Lei can really pass the exam and become scholars this time?"
Zhao Dayong sneered, "I just went there to join in the fun when I had nothing to do, but you took it seriously. Scholars are not just steamed rice in a pot. Anyone can be steamed casually. People need real talent and knowledge."
“But they got admitted to Tongbei.”
"There are many people who pass the Tongxue exam but fail to pass the Xiuxian exam. Some people never pass the exam in their entire life. Look at my eldest brother. He was a Xiuxian at a young age, and now he is still a Xiuxian with one foot in the coffin.
"My third brother does whatever he wants. If I were him, I would study hard at home for a few years before taking the exam to become a scholar. Just wait, you go there happily and come back dejected."
It was so funny, he thought he was a genius, and he dreamed of becoming a scholar after studying for a few years. Sanzhuzi in their family was so young and so smart, but he couldn't guarantee that he could become a scholar at the same age as his elder brother.
"What if?"
"Don't worry, there's no chance of an emergency." Zhao Dayong leaned on the edge of the kang, tapping his arm.
