The two of them are delayed. The day after tomorrow will be the day when the third brother's wife will serve him. Damn, the third brother is cunning.
"Besides buying people, I have another thing to do."
What else? Just peel them, weigh them, see how much they're worth, and take them all.
"Mom, what else do you want to say?"
"The food I ate before was definitely not enough. You know I need to take good care of myself now."
Zhao Dawen couldn't believe it. "Third brother gave you so much, isn't it enough?"
How much can an old woman eat? Is she going to eat herself to death?
Old Sun's face fell. "Why, I only gave birth to one son, the third one? You're all dead? Why should he have to pay for everything?"
"No, didn't we give it to you?"
"What the hell are you giving me? You don't even know how much you give me every year. Are you blind to how much your third brother gives me?"
"No, mother, we are poor."
"Don't talk to me about other things." Originally, Mrs. Sun felt embarrassed and guilty towards her son, but now all her guilt is gone.
What's the point of thinking about them? Not one of them is truly filial to her.
"Our rations must be divided. The previous ones don't count. If you have any objections, go find the clan leader and see what he says."
"How do you divide it?"
"All food and drink expenses are recorded and settled once a month, divided equally among the three families. Don't give me coarse grains anymore. Give each family ten kilograms of white flour and ten kilograms of white rice per month. Fifteen kilograms of coarse grains per month is enough for the three of us to eat.
As for the money for vegetables, it may not be too much. I grow the vegetables myself, and the chickens lay eggs every day. That means I buy some fish every day and occasionally have some meat.
I don't know about other expenses, but I'll keep a record of them all, so you three can split them equally. Don't worry, I won't extort money from you. You can check if you don't believe me."
The only meat she can eat freely now is fish. Everything else has to be limited. She has a very miserable life.
Zhao Dawen gritted his teeth and said, "What are you talking about, mother? We don't believe you, and no one will disbelieve you."
I don't need to say anything. It must be the third brother who is gossiping. If it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't have picked on them.
Zhao Dayong was completely dejected. He really had no money left. With his mother going through so much trouble, what was his youngest son Shuxiu supposed to do?
"Old man, do you have any objections?"
"I didn't do anything. I'll just listen to you." He clenched his fists and went to beat Sanzhuzi, the little bastard who always caused trouble for him.
"Since you all have no objections, let's just leave it at that. You can go now. It's getting late and I should go to bed."
Old Mrs. Sun yawned deliberately. The faces of the people in the room were gloomier than each other, and she didn't want to see any of them now.
"Mom, take a good rest."
Zhao Dashu almost hummed a song when he went out. His mother was more understanding than his father. He felt refreshed and comfortable now.
The two men couldn't bear to see Zhao Dashu so proud, so they left with their sleeves swung.
"Brother, you should take good care of your family's Sanzhuzi. It's okay if he harms your own family, but don't let him harm me. You should know how much money I have lost in the past two days because of him.
By the way, I heard that he slept at his brother’s house last night and said some nonsense that made his parents so mad that they said Sanzhuzi was not allowed to go to their house again and that his son had to break up with him.
"Tell me, how did you two raise your children? How did you end up with such a troublemaker?"
Zhao Dayong was so angry that he said nothing. He had heard about this matter as well. If it was true, it seemed that his youngest son really had some problems.
Who would dare to say that his grandmother would rather die than be paralyzed? Who would dare to push his elders without feeling any guilt?
