Li was shaking with anger. "You didn't hear your sister crying in the yard? Didn't you know that Zhaodi got married and there's one less person working in the family?"
Erzhuzi didn't say anything. He was shocked when he went out to see the girl. How could he deal with such a disgusting thing? The eldest brother said that they didn't need to care. Whoever gave birth to the child should raise it. Men and women should not touch each other. They couldn't take care of the girl.
"Mom, are you sure we don't want you to separate me and my second brother?" Dazhuzi's eyes were extremely cold, and the cold Li didn't even dare to nod.
Finally, she escaped from her sons' house in despair, resigned herself to her fate and went to the river to wash clothes again, carrying her little girl on her back.
In one day, Li was heartbroken.
"Master, I can't bear it any longer, wuwuwu..."
Zhao Dayong was surprised. It had been a long time since he saw his wife cry so sadly. She had always been strong and able to endure.
"What’s wrong with you?"
She told him about the household chores. "I can't do all the housework by myself. I didn't even weed the vegetable garden today. Even if you split me in half, I still can't finish all the housework."
Late at night, there was chaos in the Zhao family. Finally, Dazhuzi took Erzhuzi away and did not return overnight.
The child was beaten and ran away. Li and Zhao Dayong waited for them all night but in vain. Zhao Dayong seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
The child has grown up and can no longer be controlled. Dazhuzi is narrow-minded and still holds a grudge against him for something that happened many years ago. Looking at his current state, he and Li can no longer count on him.
What made him hate him the most was that not only did he act foolishly, but he also dragged Erzhuzi into it. It turned out that his second son was such a good child and worked very hard.
Dazhuzi is the troublemaker in their family. He is not sure whether he will do what he wants after they get married, and whether he can control him.
"Master, it's almost dawn, where do you think the two children are?"
Zhao Dayong stood up by holding onto the wall. "Don't worry about them. They won't die. Let's go pick the vegetables. We can't delay selling them."
Seeing that his vegetable business was doing well, many families in the village followed suit. Originally he was the only one selling vegetables in several alleys, but now there are at least seven or eight people. This is why it takes him longer and longer to sell vegetables.
Not only was it difficult to sell due to the large number of people, the price was also very low. A few dung beetles in the village sold and gave away their products, so he had to sell like them to keep his customers. That was not all. He did not dare to rest for a single day on weekdays, for fear that his old customers would be taken away.
Money is hard to make, and it’s getting harder and harder.
In fact, Dazhuzi didn't run very far with Erzhuzi. They just sat on the road by the river all night.
"Brother, shall we go back at dawn?"
He looked up at the sky and said, "Wait a little while, Dad will almost go to the county town, then we can go back."
It's impossible not to go back. I'm not going to starve to death out there.
Erzhuzi is now afraid of the consequences. Why did he come out with his elder brother without thinking? "Brother, do you think our parents will not let us into the house?"
"No, if they dare not let us into the house, I will go to the village chief and the clan leader." Dazhuzi was just threatening. He would not be stupid enough to look for obstacles. The word "filial piety" is like a knife hanging over one's head. If he dared to go to the clan leader, he would only be scolded.
He bet that they still had some feelings for him, which was why they dared to be so unscrupulous.
"Brother, it's not easy for mom and dad. Look how much older dad has become in the past few years. He doesn't even look like he's from the same generation as my uncle when he's standing next to me."
Dazhuzi's eyes were cold, "They asked for it themselves. They insisted on supporting the third brother who couldn't afford it. What can we do?
The way Dad and Mom are now is a lesson for us. You must remember to separate quickly after you get married, or you will end up like them in the future."
Erzhuzi shuddered. His eldest brother had said that when his parents got old and could no longer move, whoever was obedient would raise his third brother. But he didn't want to do that. He didn't want to exhaust himself and end up raising a useless person.
"Don't worry, big brother. We will separate our family property as soon as I get married. My parents love my third brother the most, so they will spend their whole lives with him. They have spent so much money on him, so isn't it normal for him to take care of them in their old age?"
Dazhuzi nodded, he was not completely stupid yet.
