The daughter-in-law was a little too excited today, and Zhao Dayong didn't plan to continue to stimulate her. "I will ask you, don't be discouraged. Come on, you rest at home today, and I'll go to the fields."
He rubbed his sore waist with a tired look on his face. Sometimes he really wanted to fall asleep all day long. He was really tired due to lack of sleep for many years.
Li felt sorry for her husband. "I've been lying down for a long time. You should take a nap. I'll be here in the field. Head of the family, Dazhuzi has been feeling very upset. What do you think we should do? Our son hates us."
Zhao Dayong didn't take it seriously, "He doesn't know his own worth. It's not difficult to get started. He learns quickly at his age. Do you think he can still be so outstanding in the future?
"Hasn't he studied on his own in the past few years and learned anything? How can he expect to pass the imperial examination when he can't even copy books? He just can't tell which one he is, so don't bother with him."
"But what if we can continue to support him? That kid is quite ruthless."
"It's too late to say anything now. Why do you think the third child, Xiao Lei, was able to pass the exam? He has a famous teacher to guide him. The one in their family is absolutely amazing.
Didn't we say before that the Master is amazing? Now it has been proven again that he is indeed amazing.
Dazhuzi will not be able to compare with them if he continues to study. What kind of people are they? Speaking of this child's mother, I plan to send Sanzhuzi to the county town to study next year."
"The county town, isn't that very expensive?"
"I've calculated that I can barely afford it. Seeing Xiao Lei and the third brother, we also know how important the master is. Now this one is obviously not good enough. My son has been completely destroyed in his hands."
"But this will make the burden on both of us even heavier. Head of the family, you should think carefully. We are not young anymore. The one in your arms is still a baby, and the older one is also not easy to take care of. How many more years can we do this?
Our situation is different from that of the eldest brother. Our parents can order you and the third brother around, but we can’t order any of them around.”
Zhao Dayong's face was grim. "Can't we order them around? It won't be up to them when the time comes. Filial piety comes first. As long as we are alive, Dazhuzi won't be able to get out of our hands."
Now he can get over his stubborn temper if he tries to cure it. After he has worked for ten or eight years, his temper will be smoothed out and he will accept his fate. By then, Sanzhuzi will be able to take the imperial examination as well."
"We are afraid that we can't control him. If we could, we would have no way to stop him in the past two years and let him do whatever he wants. Shunyu has also led the second brother astray."
Zhao Dayong was upset. "If we can't do anything, he must follow us. Otherwise, what should we do? Watch us die of exhaustion? Being unfilial is a serious crime."
Li was not optimistic. "Didn't Dad often say that the third child was unfilial? Do you think he managed to scare the third child? He is just a piece of ashes."
"What do you think we should do?"
"If you ask me," Li looked at her man cautiously, "Don't blame me, Sanzhuzi. We can't compete, but it's not worth it to hold it in for several years and end up destroying ourselves.
Head of the family, I feel sorry for you and myself. Look at our family, the eldest child takes care of himself, the second child is a fool, and the third child, he finally gets the opportunity to study but he doesn't cherish it at all and doesn't know how to understand us.
Why do we both work harder than working oxen? Every time I see you looking upset with hair on your head, I want to cry. Big brother is obviously three years older than you, but you look six years older than him.
In the past few years, my hair has become tangled and my back has become bent. In the past, Zhaodi helped me and I just gritted my teeth and got by. Now that she is married, I am becoming more and more unable to do anything.
The main thing is that there is no hope, one, two, three, no hope at all."
Zhao Dayong's eyes were red, and his wife said that it was something he didn't want to face.
Without hope, he often felt that life was meaningless and often thought that it would not be a bad thing if he could not wake up from a deep sleep one day.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a lot of things happening. Things were not going well at home and people were not united.
