"From now on, your mother will live for herself, and so will you. As long as your family is doing well, don't worry about anyone else, and definitely don't borrow any money."
“My son understands.”
Wang kept rambling on and on, and Zhao Jiadong listened carefully. He knew that things were about to change in this family, and he would have to rely on his mother from now on, because at least she was more reliable than his father.
When Zhao Dashu got home, he was still excited. He hadn't seen anyone fighting or brawling in a long time, and seeing this was really damn exciting.
"Honey, do you think they'll start fighting again after we leave?"
"Why don't you go over and take another look?"
"No, no, what's so interesting about watching people fight?"
Song gave him a disdainful look and said, "Just keep pretending."
"They probably won't continue fighting. Auntie said she's going back to the village, so they've definitely packed their things and gone back. Actually, there's not much point in fighting. They've run away and the money's gone. Even if they beat Uncle to death, Xiao Cui wouldn't be able to bring the money back."
My aunt is a smart woman; otherwise, she wouldn't have decided to return to the village immediately after my father said you couldn't find anyone.
The money we spent before is gone; the important thing is to get back and help my uncle make money. We can't get the lost money back, so bringing back someone who knows how to make money is absolutely crucial.
Once we return to the village, my uncle is likely to have a rough time. He used to spend four hours a day copying books; now it might be five or even six.
Zhao Dashu's mouth dropped open. "My goodness! What is your sister-in-law planning to use your brother for? A tool to make money?"
“That’s right,” Zhao Xiaoyu nodded. “Since there’s no affection and no family ties, money is the only reliable thing left. Didn’t your uncle say he wanted to divorce his wife and that he hated your aunt? He’ll regret saying those things later.”
If he confessed and begged for forgiveness, saying he was momentarily bewitched and seduced, perhaps his aunt would forgive him. But his uncle insisted on courting disaster; a woman whose heart is dead is terrifying.
"That's true. Your uncle really went too far this time. I wouldn't have been able to tolerate it either."
“My eldest cousin is also in a bad situation; I’m afraid he’ll have a hard time getting money from my aunt in the future.”
"He asked for it; he was incredibly stupid."
"Yes, actually he's a bit like my uncle, both stupid and a bit of a chauvinist, thinking he's the head of the family."
"That damn fool, even my son couldn't kill him. After this incident, he'll never come to the prefectural city again."
"He definitely won't come back. Without support from others, how will he study?"
Mrs. Song sighed, looking at the sons her eldest and second sons had given birth to, thinking it would have been better if they hadn't had any at all.
After listening for a long time, Old Man Qian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did Zhao Dawen's young wife go? Why did she run away so fast?"
"You still don't understand? Big Brother told her to run away. He's already bewitched by her and is willing to give all his money to help her run away. Back then, no one in the village got this treatment. It seems like they all ran away on their own."
"It's rare for Da Wen to care about someone, but will she go back to him? Wang Shi will definitely not let him go once she sees him."
Zhao Dashu shrugged. "Hard to say, it depends on whether she has a conscience or not. But if I were her, I wouldn't come back. Like Xiaoyu said, what's the point? Is it the old man's smell on him?"
Old Man Qian laughed unkindly. Little Yu's words were even more hurtful than being beaten by Wang Shi. He saw that Zhao Dawen was almost crying with anger at that moment.
"She won't be coming back. The fact that she could keep her uncle under her thumb and even run away with the money shows that she's not only not stupid, but also very clever. How could someone as smart as her be willing to be someone's concubine once she has money?"
My uncle was destined to lose money on this deal; he lost everything – money, people, and ultimately, he even lost himself.
"You have no conscience?"
"You can't say they're heartless. Uncle gave them the things voluntarily, and it was Uncle who told her to run away. Is it wrong for her to obey?"
Zhao Dashu was speechless. His daughter's words made so much sense that he couldn't refute them.
“If we don’t go back, my brother might break down.”
He was practically ready to give his heart to the other person. If they betrayed him, wouldn't he be devastated? After all, he still had a shrew at home who was always watching him.
"He won't break down. His aunt won't let him break down. He's so tired from copying books, he doesn't have time to break down."
Song: ...Why do I feel like laughing for some reason?
