Luckily, they knew Zhao Dashu; otherwise, they would have been completely clueless and wouldn't have been able to find anyone even after arriving in the prefectural city.
In the past six months, Wang had cursed Zhao Dawen countless times. After catching him, she immediately returned to the village, telling him never to travel far from home again, and the same to her eldest son. She was truly heartbroken.
Why didn't those two heartless bastards write home? Didn't the eldest son know his wife was pregnant when he left? Didn't he want to know if it was a boy or a girl, and whether mother and child were safe?
She used to think the eldest son was more reliable than the second son, but now Wang thinks the eldest son is just like his father, a complete scoundrel.
Even if the head of the household wanted to act recklessly, couldn't he at least try to dissuade him? If he didn't agree, she believed he wouldn't stay in the prefectural city.
Those two bastards!
Wang clutched her chest; the thought of them made her heart ache with anger.
One or two of them were simply outrageous. She knew that Madam Song and Zhao Dashu were laughing at their family, but she couldn't do anything about it. What could she do if her husband and son insisted on doing such things to make themselves a laughingstock?
She couldn't even eat the good food at Zhao Dashu's house, and sat at the door all day with a worried look on her face.
The youngest son didn't know how to persuade his mother. Ever since he received the letter from his father that he wasn't coming home, his mother had been like this.
Zhao Dashu went to great lengths to find someone this time, all in an effort to get Wang Shi out of the house as soon as possible. For some reason, Zhao Dashu always felt uncomfortable with outsiders in the house. He spoke very cautiously.
He didn't feel that way when the Qian family moved in.
Was he born at odds with the Zhao family?
Yes, it's very possible; he's been at odds with them for years.
Zhao Dawen seemed to have vanished into thin air; no one could find him. Zhao Dashu even suspected that he might have offended someone in the prefectural city and had his body disposed of.
But I haven't heard of such a thing in the prefectural city.
Besides, if he died, his son couldn't have died with him, right? Where did the father and son go? Did they go off to work as male prostitutes to make money?
That's outrageous.
Wang's face grew uglier day by day. That damned dog of a man, she wished she would find him, or she would make him eat shit!
The youngest son, on the contrary, was quite calm. He thought it was great. Since he couldn't find his father and older brother, he could stay at his third uncle's house, eating and drinking well, and living a very comfortable life.
"Mother, where did Father go? Uncle has been looking for him for so long but can't find him."
"I wonder which vixen has taken him to a brothel. If he has the guts, he can hide forever and not let me find him."
Zhao Xiaoyu could sense Wang's resentment even from a great distance.
"Once we find my uncle, he'll be in for a world of trouble."
Song glanced at Wang outside and asked, "Why aren't you worried about your husband, sister-in-law? How can you be so sure he's alright?"
"The couple probably had a premonition, or maybe the aunt knew the uncle too well and knew he wasn't so easy to get into trouble with. He's probably having a good time somewhere right now."
Thinking of Xiao Hong from back then, Mrs. Song said, "It shouldn't be that bad, right? Your uncle wouldn't dare to do anything reckless, would he?"
Zhao Xiaoyu looked at her naive mother. Why were men never home? Wasn't it because there were gentler, more understanding women outside? Her aunt had been such a shrew these past few years, and she'd heard she'd been keeping her uncle in check. He must have been plotting a rebellion for a long time, hadn't he?
It's best if they didn't find a new person for their uncle this time, otherwise they might not even know how they died.
Sigh, women are sometimes pitiful. They work themselves to the bone at home to take care of the whole family, but the men don't care about anything and even blame them for not being gentle.
My uncle was born in the Year of the Dog, he wants everything, why doesn't he just fly to the sky?
"Anyway, we don't care about their family affairs, and we have no right to interfere. Once we find the eldest uncle, we can beat them however they want, we'll just pretend we didn't see it. Don't they have two sons?"
Mrs. Song looked at her daughter, "Is it that serious?"
"Just wait and see, Uncle is doomed this time. If he's just staying in the city with my eldest cousin, there might still be some room for negotiation. But if he can't control himself, well, Auntie will beat him to death."
If it's true, then my eldest cousin is a terrible person, conspiring with his father to deceive his own mother. She doesn't believe he can't stop his uncle from acting recklessly.
Mrs. Song looked at her daughter with a troubled expression. "How did you know your uncle was being beaten at home?"
