Chapter 23: The Elder Brother Is Like a Father
‘Even so, if I’m not happy one day, I’ll take the opportunity to beat him up to vent my anger. If beating him openly doesn’t work, I can always do it in secret, right? Anyway, that guy doesn’t have a good relationship with people, and he won’t find any enemies if he gets beaten up for nothing.
Bai Yunxi looked at the fourth brother and silently encouraged him to take action. She would definitely take the opportunity to step on him.
The voice of the fourth brother is also her wish. Sooner or later, Bai Anchen will succumb to her rolling pin.
“Hey~, you guys have to eat when you are reclaiming land. Your eldest brother will be responsible for your food. He went to the town to find a job this time. Your eldest brother said that even if he goes to the dock to carry heavy bags, he will not cut off your food supply.”
Little guy, I can’t kill you.
Mrs. Du: “…”
Mother-in-law said that the official was going to the dock to carry heavy bags. How could it be possible?
“Did the eldest brother really say that?” The brothers were so surprised.
‘Has the eldest brother finally changed his nature? ’
‘Did my mother deliberately deceive them? ’
‘Tsk, I don’t believe it. ’
Listening to the voices of several people, Bai Yunxi sighed in his heart. His brother had no prestige at all. It was shameful.
Although he thought about it, he still praised his adopted eldest son without blushing or breathing heavily. Just as he was about to make another effort, he saw a piece of clothing flashing by from the corner of his eye. ˜”*°•.˜˜.•°*”˜
“That’s natural. As the eldest son of the family, your eldest brother is like a father. It is said that the eldest brother is like a father. This is not just a saying. He has to bear the same responsibilities as his father and brother.”
“As the old saying goes, a scholar is useless. Your eldest brother is very ambitious. Even if he is a weak scholar, he will not bow to life. Naturally, he will not let you go hungry. As the eldest son of the family, he will always contribute to the family and support you brothers.”
Bai Yunxi said, glanced outside the door, and sighed deeply.
“That’s all to say. After all, your eldest brother has never done physical work. Give him two days to adapt. It will always be okay. You have to have confidence in your eldest brother.”
Bai Anchen, who was outside the door, shrank his body and retracted his outstretched feet. Listening to his mother’s words, his face trembled uncontrollably for several times, like a palette, green and red.
He couldn't accept the change from a brick house to a shack, so he took the opportunity to hide in the town, just because he didn't want to face reality, hoping to return to the same home.
When he was eating in the town, he happened to see Zhao Li passing by with a group of thugs, cursing and talking about the process of taking over his house, saying that not even a hair was left.
The house was still gone, and he rushed home angrily after eating the last bite of food. He saw people walking in the fenced yard from a distance.
Everyone moved to the shack at the head of the village, and the house was completely gone.
Somehow, he felt a surge of anger in his heart, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard his mother praising him to the sky.
Looking at the children waiting for him to feed them with shining eyes, the anger that had just been suppressed rushed to his head, and he almost couldn't help rushing over and scolding them one by one.
He was the eldest son, but he never used his rights as the eldest son. When his parents were around, he didn't need him. Later, when his father left, everything was handled by his mother, and he just had to listen to his mother's instructions.
Now that his father is dead and the family is gone, his mother is bringing up his status as the eldest son?
What does that mean?
Let him clean up the mess?
Dream on, it's impossible for him to support a bunch of useless people... But if he breaks up with his family at this critical moment, as the eldest son, he will be criticized.
As a scholar, the most fearful thing is to lose his reputation, especially if he is accused of being unfilial, his career will be completely over.
