"Yes, that's fine. We have 72 taels of cash in our family. When the family is divided, it will be included in the general account book. Sister-in-law, I will go to your parents' house now to thank them. After all, they bought a house in the county for their son-in-law, not for their own son. He is not a live-in son-in-law. If our family didn't know, we wouldn't have said anything. But now that we know, we can't just let it go like this."
"Second brother!" Wang hurriedly pulled him and said in a hurry, "My brother and his family don't know about this, please don't make it difficult for my parents!"
"Don't worry, I won't tell your brother. I'll just thank my in-laws in private." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Wang grabbed the person and wouldn't let him leave.
"Second brother, what on earth do you want to do?" the old man roared.
Zhao Dayong turned around and looked at his father fearlessly, "Nothing, I just don't want to be played around with by others anymore. If it's not my fault, I don't want it, and if it's mine, I won't lose a single bit.
Dad, from now on, I will do as much work as my eldest brother does for this family. It’s okay if my eldest brother doesn’t want to farm. He has wages already, so he can hire someone to do it for him. The two of us can’t do that much work. As for his studies and the imperial examinations, I will not support him. If he wants to study, he can earn money by himself. Anyway, he can support himself. If he wants to spend the family money, Dad, I won’t do it! ”
"You want to rebel!"
Zhao Dayong looked at the old man and said, "Dad, I just want to plan for my children. I want to make money, save money, and send Erzhu and Sanzhu to school. Look at what my eldest brother does. Do you think that if I support him all his life, will he miss me?"
Old man Zhao moved his dry old mouth, not knowing what to say. The second brother is not stupid, he is actually very smart. No matter what he says, he can't fool the first brother. For a moment, he couldn't think of a good way to appease the second child.
"Your eldest brother has passed the imperial examination. He will definitely remember your kindness and will definitely treat your family well. You can live a good life with him. I see that Erzhu and Sanzhu don't look like they can study. Instead of wasting this money, you should support your eldest brother. After all, he is already a scholar."
"Dad, my eldest brother has been a scholar for more than ten years." His voice was filled with fatigue.
The old man was speechless and said, "Yes, he is more than ten years old." These brothers, not to mention the second and third brothers, were disappointed. Even he felt that the eldest brother could only be a scholar.
"Sister-in-law, let's not beat around the bush. We all know who will buy the house. I'm going to say this today. If I, Zhao Dayong, don't own a share of the house, no one will have peace."
Wang's heart trembled slightly. She couldn't let the second son go back to her parents' home, otherwise, she would have no parents' home in the future.
"Dad, in this family, whatever my eldest brother has in the future, I want too. He has as many children as I want to study. I have as many children as I want to study. I will do as much work as my eldest brother does."
Brothers should settle accounts clearly, why should he suffer the loss? Why should he and his wife serve them like servants.
"Nonsense!" Old man Zhao was really angry. The second son was going too far. What nonsense was he saying? Even if it was nonsense, there should be a limit. How can he compare with the boss? The boss only holds a pen in his hand. How can he farm?
"Second brother, stop it, don't go too far."
"Really?" Zhao Laoer shrugged indifferently, "Dad thinks I may have gone too far. My family and I are all stupid and have never been to school. We don't control our words and don't know what it means to keep family disgrace to others. Of course, the same goes for the other kids in the family. If I accidentally offend my eldest brother, I hope he won't mind it. However, I promise that I will never make up stories and will only tell the truth. I also want the villagers to help me figure it out and see if I really went too far."
The old man's temple throbbed with pain. He saw the shadow of that bastard Third Brother in the Second Brother. "Second brother, your elder brother apologizes to you, so we should do what we want. Can we continue as before?"
Zhao Dayu was about to speak reluctantly.
"No, no, no, Dad, I can't bear to be treated like a scholar. Besides, we are all family, there is no need to make up stories. I am your son, and he is also your son. Now I ask that the two families treat each other the same. Dad, I just don't know, what am I doing wrong?"
Humph, we are both sons, why should he be treated specially? Zhao Dayong remembered that when his third brother was a child, he wanted to study and was scolded after he mentioned it to his father. In fact, he also wanted to at that time. But when he saw that his third brother was being scolded, he kept silent, so as not to get embarrassed and get scolded for nothing.
