Others use mule carts or ox carts. They have two legs and never need to move. They can go wherever they want. With this attitude towards him, Mr. Zhao felt that all his money was being fed to an ungrateful person.
When Boss Zhao returned home, the old man saw his eldest son and immediately recognized his backbone.
"Da Wen, you're back. Dad sent you a message, why didn't you reply?"
When Boss Zhao saw his parents were fine, he was confused. So, why did they call him back?
Mr. Zhao smiled sarcastically and asked, "A message?" They probably didn't collect any of the money at all. Even if they did, they might not look down on the third brother's meager gains. They really think that the eunuchs are anxious when the emperor is not. Maybe the money for the boss to take the exam has already been prepared.
He looked at his elder brother closely. How much had he hidden from them? Damn, what did you do behind their backs? Thinking about what the third brother said before, it seems that he will have to run around a lot in the county town.
He knows nothing, just like a fool. If he is sold by his eldest brother one day, he will have to help him count the money. He is just like the third brother, who was sold as soon as his daughter said so.
At this moment, the trust that had been maintained for more than ten years collapsed.
"Boss!" The old man pulled his hand, excited, "Boss, your third brother has made a fortune, and he made it without telling us!"
A trace of impatience appeared on Boss Zhao's face. This again, and that again. Can't Dad be so shallow?
"Dad, let him build a few adobe houses if he wants. We can't deny people a place to live."
The old man's eyes widened. "What adobe house? Didn't my husband tell you? It's not an adobe house, it's a brick house. I heard that if you want to build a big house, you need to build a fire wall and drainage. I don't understand. Anyway, no one in our village can build it like his. The third brother found a dozen craftsmen from the county to help build it."
The old man spoke for so long that he almost couldn't breathe. He took a breath and continued, "He hired thirty men for the labor, all from our village. Now his house at the end of the village is bustling with activity."
Boss Zhao couldn't believe what he heard and looked at his father in shock, "Dad, is what you said true?"
"Why would I lie to you? Ask your brother. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to his house for a look. Ten acres of land. The third brother bought ten acres of land at the end of the village. Even though it's not wasteland, it still costs ten taels of silver. It's real money. He took it out."
You didn’t see it. When I went there yesterday, I saw rows of blue bricks piled higher than a person. You will know it if you go and see it. Even the courtyard wall is made of blue bricks. As I said, blue bricks are solid and give you a safe living environment. ”
Boss Zhao was stunned for a long time. If the third brother became rich, wouldn’t that mean he became rich too? My heart was burning with anxiety. "Dad, where did he earn the money to build the house? Did he give you the money? Oh, he can't live in such a big yard. Should we move in and live together in the future?"
Mr. Zhao wanted to laugh after hearing this. Why does the boss only think about beauty every day? They still live together, and people have said that if they dare to come to his house and make trouble, he will close the door and let the dogs bite them.
The eldest son’s words touched his heart. He wanted to do that too, but that bastard ignored him!
"Your third brother said that the money was earned by his wife and had nothing to do with him. The new house has no share for us. It's all his."
Boss Zhao's eyes widened. "The third brother wants to rebel? How dare he be unfilial? Dad, if he is really unfilial, I will definitely teach him a lesson. An elder brother is like a father. I don't believe I can't discipline him."
Who cares who earned the money? It belongs to his family and he has to pay it back. What the hell, a person with no family yet dares to act so arrogantly in front of him.
"Boss, now that you're back, I feel relieved."
"No, no, the third child doesn't understand. I will definitely discipline him and teach him a lesson."
Zhao Laoji looked at his eldest brother and just waited. If he could get something, he would get a share. If he couldn't get anything, he wouldn't step out and he didn't have a falling out with the third brother. He didn't intend to get involved in anything.
The old man was completely relieved now. Scholars are indeed powerful. The eldest son has to take care of all the affairs in the family. The old man is still a little naive.
The father and son headed towards the end of the village again, but Mr. Zhao didn't go. He made the excuse that he hadn't watered the fields for several days and went to work in the fields. In fact, he didn't think highly of his elder brother and father at all. In recent times, he had realized that things were going to change in this family. Maybe he would have to rely on someone else in the future.
Alas, they are all short-sighted. Who would have thought that a small gangster could get rich by living off gigolos. No matter what they eat or who they rely on, they are living a more comfortable life now, better than him.
The woman who went to the fields with him said: "Master, why don't we go to the end of the village?"
"Let's not join in the fun and do nothing to offend Third Brother."
"The boss..."
"Mother, today I went to the county town and found that my eldest brother had moved. He lives in a very nice house now, and even has servants. I asked around and found out that the house is most likely his own."
Shi Ni covered her mouth, unable to believe what she heard.
"Damn it, everyone in this family is doing well now, but we are the only ones left, still digging for food in the fields. We are so tired that we are exhausted. It's time for us to plan for ourselves."
"You mean..."
"No one is better than me. Today, I went to my eldest brother's house, but my sister-in-law didn't even give me a bowl of water to drink. My eldest brother was even more sullen all the way, complaining that I was bothering them. I was thinking, my eldest brother can study. Is it possible that none of our three sons can study?"
Mrs. Xu was frightened by his idea, "But there is no money at home. Dad will not agree. All the money has been given to my eldest brother."
Zhao Dayong stopped watering, stood still, and looked at her. "So, in the future, we should find a way to save more private money and think more about our children. Also, we must not offend the third brother's family. I think he will definitely be able to rise in the future. Who knows, we may have to beg him in the future. You should change your attitude towards your brother and sister-in-law."
Mrs. Xun felt very uncomfortable. So, all three sisters-in-law were ancestors, but she was the only grandson, right?
"I know you feel uncomfortable, but the situation is stronger than people, and we have to endure when we need to. If we endure and can really give up a child of our own, it's worth it, don't you think?"
When Mrs. Xu thought about it, it made sense. It didn't matter if she had to suffer a little now. Only those who could enjoy happiness in the future were truly blessed.
"I'll listen to you."
