“Look carefully, clear your head. What do you mean by ‘not like this before’? Have you forgotten how he harmed Sanzhuzi before? Have you forgotten how he alienated Erzhuzi from us?”
This guy's a bad seed, a real, utterly bad seed. Needless to say, this kid's hopeless, really, he's hopeless.
Zhao Dayong really wanted to kick Dazhu out and see how arrogant he could be then.
"No, no, he just didn't understand for a moment. My son wouldn't do that, he wouldn't!"
The little girl was so frightened that she trembled and didn't dare to breathe.
The room was deathly silent, except for Zhao Dayong's heavy breathing.
After a long while, Zhao Dayong finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth, "Unfilial son...this unfilial son!"
Coming to her senses, Li burst into tears, crying, "What should we do? What should we do?"
Listening to him is wrong, but ignoring him is even more wrong. What should we do?
"Stop howling?"
Zhao Dayong shouted, and Li immediately fell silent, looking at him helplessly.
"The old house issue is still unresolved, and then Dazhuzi is like this... what... what are we going to do?"
Zhao Dayong felt a chill run down his spine. Da Zhuzi's eyes and tone didn't seem to be lying. If they hadn't given him everything, he might have attacked them just now.
If... if Dazhuzi were to do something extreme in order to monopolize this courtyard...
The thought sent chills down his spine.
This family... may fall apart.
"Old man?"
Li was truly at a loss; her eldest son was making her incredibly anxious. To be honest, she was even a little afraid to face him alone—he was too cold.
"Our family is probably going to fall apart."
"Old man, don't scare me."
Keeping that big pillar around will only make things worse. That bastard has no conscience; all he cares about is money. He'll do anything for money.
If he leaves first, his wife will be completely under his thumb. In that case, the eldest son will truly be in charge of the family, and the third son will have nothing.
Don't be fooled by the old woman's loud and assertive demeanor in front of him. She's actually quite insecure; she's terrified of the boss.
"Old man?"
"Shut up, let me think about it."
Mrs. Li was anxious. "Now is not the time to think about Dazhuzi's affairs. What did they say about the old house? Should we buy it or sell it?"
Zhao Dayong took a deep breath. How could he dare to sell the old house now? There was a wicked child living in the house, and he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully until he got rid of him.
"Girl, go out first and wait in the kitchen for a while. It's not cold there."
It's best if you don't listen to what's coming next.
The little girl felt as if she had been granted a pardon and ran out the door.
As soon as she stepped outside, her eyes widened in terror, her face turning deathly pale. Da Zhuzi reached out and covered her mouth, "Shh, don't make a sound, don't force your brother to take action!!"
What exactly are you trying to say?
"No matter what I say later, you're not allowed to shout. Don't let Dazhuzi hear you; it won't be good for any of us."
"you say."
"We must buy the old house. Tomorrow I will go with you to the village chief to get an estimate. No matter how much it costs, we will buy it even if we have to sell everything we own."
Mrs. Li nodded. Her eldest son had frightened her earlier. After they were gone, the brotherly affection between them would probably not exist anymore, and might not even be as strong as it is now between the three old men.
At least if something really happens, they won't stand idly by.
“I also think that if the eldest brother wants a new house, the old house must be kept no matter what. Sanzhuzi can’t be without a place to live.”
Zhao Dayong sneered. He knew his wife would have this attitude. She was like a dough ball in front of her boss, not daring to disobey him in the slightest.
"So you've already decided that the new house will be for the eldest brother, and everything we own will go to him from now on?"
"No... I didn't..." Li tried to explain herself, but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation. She was extremely anxious and frustrated.
