"Brother, is something the matter?"
Da Zhuzi laughed mockingly and smugly. He now enjoyed seeing people fear and loathe him but were helpless to do anything about it.
"Why the long face? We used to be best brothers."
"I was foolish before, and I was taken advantage of without realizing it. Brother, just say what you want to say."
"It's nothing, I just envy you, my second brother, for being able to establish yourself in the county town, having a wife and children, and living a happy life. Unlike your eldest brother, I have nothing."
"It's all your own doing. You could have had all of this, and you might even be living a better life than me."
Better than him?
Da Zhu laughed heartily. "How good can he be? He's destined to have no children. How good can he be?"
"Second brother, I heard your wife is pregnant again?"
Erzhuzi asked warily, "What are you trying to say?"
Dazhuzi didn't mince words. "You know I'm afraid I'll never be able to have children in this life. I was thinking that if this child is a boy, you can send him to me after he's weaned."
Give it to him?
"I will take good care of the child and treat him as my own."
Dazhu knew his parents were getting old and couldn't take care of him forever. He needed to find someone to rely on for the rest of his life, and the only way to do that was to adopt a son.
After the child is sent here, his parents can help take care of him. By the time his parents are no longer able to care for him, the child will have already started his own family. In this way, he can live a worry-free life, and even if he doesn't get married, his later years will be peaceful.
After much thought, he concluded that this was the safest method.
He didn't expect any children from Sanzhuzi; he figured Sanzhuzi was destined to be a bachelor.
Erzhuzi is wealthy, so he certainly wouldn't bear to see his child suffer with him and would definitely provide financial assistance. As the child grows up, he'll feel even more guilty for not being there to raise him.
If the child is steady, then he will be even more stable.
It would be best to have a child with him.
Erzhuzi's expression was cold. "If you want a child, there are plenty of orphans in the county. You can choose one. My child has a father and mother and doesn't need anyone else to worry about him."
"You're not willing? It was one thing for your parents to refuse before, but now that I'm asking you personally, you're still not willing? Erzhuzi, I'm your older brother, I advise you to be sensible."
"Even if you're the King of Heaven, you have no right to take someone else's child. Do you think there's any brotherly affection between us? Don't think I know what you were thinking before, brother, don't push me."
"So what if I force you? What can you do about it?"
"I can't give you my child, give up."
Guo breathed a sigh of relief inside. It was good that her husband didn't want to. She touched her belly, which wasn't showing yet, and her in-laws hadn't said anything. How did he know?
"Don't push me!"
"I advise you not to push me, brother. If things really come to a head, you might not be my match. I don't want to get involved with you. If you want to harm someone, go find someone else. You can't threaten me."
Dazhu clenched his fist, wanting to stab his own younger brother twice.
Zhao Dayong didn't want to stay inside; he always felt a strong smell of feces. As soon as he went outside, he saw the two brothers chatting outside the door.
What are you talking about?
His greatest wish now is to see his brothers live in harmony.
"I was telling my second brother that his wife is pregnant again. Dad, you're going to be a grandfather again."
