“I disagree. If Second Brother doesn’t contribute, neither will I. Third Brother, you’re the richest, so you might as well contribute all of this. Anyway, these things mean nothing to you.”
Zhao Dashu ignored him, saying, "Brother, Mother isn't one of my people. Don't forget you're the eldest son."
Zhao Dawen flicked his sleeve and said, "Do whatever you want, I'll only pay my share."
Zhao Dayong lowered his eyes. So, is this thing going to work or not? Can anyone give me a definite answer?
"Second brother, look, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's that eldest brother won't agree."
Zhao Dayong thought he still had to go to his mother. If his mother agreed, there was nothing his older brother could do even if he disagreed.
He really couldn't afford it anymore. The whole family only had that little bit of land. If it weren't for the money they made selling sugar, the whole family would probably be starving long ago.
And then there's that beast Sanzhuzi; whenever he and his wife save any money, he steals it.
He stole money from the family at least four or five times in the past two years. The reason why my older brother's family moved away was because it was not safe to stay in the courtyard.
He suspected that the money his older brother lost back then was indeed stolen by him.
He stole the silver and went out to have fun, spending it all before returning home. He wouldn't listen to beatings or scoldings, and if he was unhappy, he even dared to overturn the table.
His greatest sin was giving birth to him.
Dazhu and his wife are also scoundrels; they don't care about them at all, except for their own work.
Erzhuzi, forget it, he's a softie.
"Third brother, your second brother has another request to make of you."
There are quite a few people involved.
"Second brother, I no longer live in the village..."
"I know, I just want you to find me a good doctor."
"Is Second Brother unwell?"
Yes, Lao Cheng's current state certainly doesn't seem like that of someone in good health.
"No, I'm fine. It's Pan Shi, Da Zhu's wife."
"What's wrong with her?"
Zhao Dayong hesitated for a long time before finally telling the story of Pan's long-term infertility.
"Third brother, you know a lot of people in the county town, could you find a good doctor for me?"
"Didn't your second brother let her see a doctor?"
"She went to every clinic in the county, but all the doctors said she was fine."
"Does the fact that she's fine mean that there's nothing wrong with her health, and that it's just that her time hasn't come yet?"
"Third brother, think about how long Dazhuzi has been married. Even if they weren't meant to be, it shouldn't have been that long, right?"
Zhao Dashu thought about it and agreed. Dazhuzi only had one wife, Pan, and she was young. They must have had a lot of trouble with each other.
He hasn't been able to get anything done in two years, so he doesn't believe there are no problems.
Poor Dazhuzi, all that work for nothing.
"What if the doctor I consult also says that Madam Pan is fine?"
Zhao Dayong shook his head. "No, there must be something wrong with my eldest daughter-in-law. She's a barren hen."
Zhao Dashu recalled what his daughter had said: not having children is not necessarily the woman's fault; the man may also have a problem, such as not being able to get a woman pregnant.
"Second brother, have you taken Dazhuzi to see him yet?"
Zhao Dayong's face was grim. "You've watched Dazhu grow up since he was a child. Third Brother should know how healthy he is."
Being physically fit doesn't mean he can make a woman have a child.
"Moreover, Pan herself admitted that she and Dazhuzi had put in a lot of effort."
After saying this, his face turned red. What was all that about?
"Third brother, please help your second brother. We'll pay the medical fees, just help us find a good doctor, okay?"
Zhao Dashu thought about it carefully, "Second brother, how about this: if you agree that the two of them should see a doctor together, I will help them find one."
He always felt the problem wasn't with Pan, after all, she had seen so many doctors. The doctors at the county clinic were actually quite skilled.
