"Boss, how...how could you..."
"You can't do it, can you?" Da Zhu sneered. "If you can't do it, then don't spout nonsense in front of me, and don't say anything about caring about me. From beginning to end, you, all of you have only ever doted on San Zhu."
Although Erzhuzi is not well-liked by you, he is lucky to have caught Zhao Dashu's eye, which is much better than catching your eye!
"It's just me! Just me!" Dazhuzi's eyes welled up with tears as he spoke of his sorrow. "My parents don't love me, my grandparents don't care about me, my uncles don't like me either, and none of you even gave me a healthy body."
"You tell me, should I hate him or not? If it were you, wouldn't you hate him too?"
Li stared blankly at her son, completely unaware that he hated them so much.
But why? Perhaps they favored Sanzhu more in previous years, but they weren't bad to him either. In recent years, they've truly focused all their attention on him. Doesn't he realize it?
Why was she so reluctant to even get medicine for the old man? It was because she wanted to find him a wife so that he wouldn't be left without anyone to talk to when he got old.
Everything was planned for him!
Mrs. Li was heartbroken. Her eldest son's words had hurt her deeply, no wonder the old man was crying.
“Your father begged your third uncle not for your own good, but so that you could have a stable job, like Erzhuzi who doesn’t have to farm. We’re just trying to help you, how can you be so ungrateful and not appreciate it at all?”
She's not young anymore; if Ms. Pan were pregnant, she'd have several children by now. She still speaks like a child, every word she utters is piercing.
"Don't give me that. I'm going to take everything from the second son. You guys figure it out yourselves."
"roll!"
Zhao Dayong roared, startling the little girl who had been cowering by the door. She trembled several times.
She quietly made her way back to the kang (a heated brick bed), huddled at the head of the bed without saying a word, and watched them argue silently.
"Go back inside. What's the point of making a fuss in the middle of the night? Listen to your mother's advice. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Li was afraid that the old man would be so angry that he would die.
"Hurry up and go back to your room. Today is your seventh day after childbirth. If people outside hear us arguing, they'll all shut up and stop making a scene."
Even standing on the big pillar was cold, so he groaned and moved his feet.
"Mom, don't forget to buy Grandma's yard as soon as possible, so I can live there in my old age."
He was freezing in the dilapidated house; he'd had enough of it.
Ms. Li, who had planned to discuss not buying the house tomorrow, sighed helplessly. It seems that buying a house is inevitable.
No, she just didn't understand why her eldest son was reacting so strongly. Wasn't it just that her third son refused to give him food? And it wasn't the first or second time her third son had refused them. What was the big deal?
"Old man, what exactly did you and the third brother talk about tonight? Why did you make Dazhuzi so angry?"
Mrs. Li felt that her eldest son was not the type to cause trouble, and that tonight's events would definitely be quite exciting.
Zhao Dayong sat wearily on the kang (a heated brick bed). The kang was warm, which made him feel a little warmer, but his heart was still filled with sorrow.
"It's the same old stuff over and over again. The third brother said Dazhuzi is a bad person and he wouldn't feel at ease leaving him in the shop. Look at him now, did he say a single wrong word?"
A person who schemes against even his own parents and brother—can he have any moral compass? What wouldn't he do?
"So your son got angry when he heard it?" Li complained. "The third son has a sharp tongue. If he doesn't want to call you, he shouldn't. Why does he have to say such nasty things? The eldest son is very concerned about his reputation, so it's understandable that he couldn't stand it for a moment."
"Hmph, he can't take it. If you dare to do something, you shouldn't be afraid of what people say. Didn't you hear what he just said? He wants everything from Erzhuzi. What makes him think he can do that?"
They, as parents, couldn't get anything, but he, a brother who had separated from the family, could?
What sweet dreams are you having?!
“Erzhuzi is no good either,” Li said, getting even angrier at the thought of her second son. “Look at what he did tonight. Nobody wants to sleep at home for a night. He ran off with his wife.”
"We're keeping an eye on him, and the eldest brother is keeping an eye on him too. Why would he want to come back? Back when the third brother became successful, could he really call his parents back?"
Li choked.
"Can't you say something nice?"
