"Dad, you don't know how happy I am now because I have a filial son like you. I eat and drink well.
She often nags at you, saying you're too careless to spend money on the children. Now she's more carefree. It's hard for my elder and second brothers to get her money, and of course, I won't give her any money either.
Why should my money be cheaper than those two outsiders? Don’t you think so? Thanks to you, I have no brotherly feelings towards them at all.
I have no choice but to maintain my reputation. After all, I am Master Zhao, but I only have one thing for her: don't bother with the leftovers from eating and drinking.
Dad, am I doing the right thing? Am I doing it well?
Although, you are under the care of your second brother after the division of the family, but he only cares about himself and not his sons, how can he have the money or the energy to take care of me. Mom is still lucky, more fortunate than you, at least she has food and drink, while you have been relying on the pie in the sky painted by your eldest brother for your whole life.
I don't know what you were thinking. You gave the money to your eldest brother and asked your second brother to take care of his retirement. You were calculating with the abacus, which made your second brother angry.
It's me who has to live a harder life than my mother. Now everyone in the village envies her and praises me for being filial. Dad, don't worry, my mother can't bear the suffering if I'm around..."
"Oh, Xiaoyu is getting married soon, marrying Xiao Lei. Just because I have better taste than you does, Xiao Lei is really successful now, and he cares about our Xiaoyu. He's even better at studying than I am. Two of the most capable men in Old Sow Village got together, so how can I be so capable?"
It's a pity for Ruxin. Even the farmers don't want her at her age. You used to say that your eldest granddaughter would have the best future. Fortunately, you left, otherwise you would have been slapped in the face.
By the way, after the wedding, they will go to the capital. Dad, do you think I should go with them? If I don’t go, I’m worried that my daughter will miss her. You know I’m different from you. My daughter is a treasure in my heart. I will feel uncomfortable if I can’t see her for a day...”
Zhao Dashu chattered to the old man for an hour, telling him all the good things about his family and the bad things about other families. If his father hadn't died, he might have died of anger.
After saying what he wanted to say, Zhao Dashu’s headache and chest tightness were gone, and he planned to go down the mountain feeling refreshed.
"Dad, I'm leaving now. Don't be sad. I'll come to see you again during the Chinese New Year. Eat as much as you can. If I go to the capital, my elder and second brothers will definitely not buy you good wine and food."
After Zhao Dashu left, the gloomy wind from Old Man Zhao's grave grew even stronger, directly knocking over the wine jar he had placed there...
My daughter and her husband are planning to hold their wedding at the farm, but their house in the village is too small to accommodate them.
Xiao Lei came back the day before and took him home from here.
The marriage will be arranged in fifteen days.
Zhao Dashu wrote the invitation himself, and it was very neat and he paid more attention to it than when he was taking the exam.
"My girl, my handwriting is pretty good, isn't it?"
"Very good, very good! Dad, how many invitations should I write?"
"For those in the county, they just need to send one to each family. For those in the village, they can just go to the door and tell them. There's no need to be so particular."
They are all illiterate, so it’s useless even if I give it to them.
"My daughter, do you want to go to the county town to pick out some more jewelry and clothes? Dad always feels that they are a little too simple."
"It's not easy. I only have one head and two hands. How much can I wear? How much dowry will Xiao Lei bring in? Are we ready?"
"Alright, alright, it's decent enough."
