Chapter 249 Let’s Change
But the eldest brother can do nothing, just follow his father to learn, and he can get a lot of praise.
He understands that because the eldest brother is the eldest son, he will have to bear the responsibility of the Bai family in the future, and he has no complaints about this.
But the eldest brother and his family can't take all the benefits, and he, as the second brother, can't even drink a mouthful of soup.
It even caused his wife and daughter to follow him to work like cows and horses for the eldest brother's family.
Although they live in the same family, he and his eldest brother's life are at two extremes.
One is a landlord, and the other is a farmhand.
He used to resent that he was ranked at the back. If he was the eldest son, would he be treated differently?
But later he understood that this was the result of his parents' partiality.
If his parents were not partial, shouldn't the eldest brother, as the eldest son, bear more?
He was the pillar cultivated by his father, the patriarch of the family. Without some responsibility, how could he be qualified to sit in the position of patriarch?
Now he has not even fulfilled his duties as an elder brother. It is impossible for such a person to be a good clan leader, not to mention the duties of a village head.
Thinking of this, Bai Yungui's heart moved. Since his elder brother has suppressed him in every way over the years, why can't he fight back?
"Dad, do you really want me to switch with my elder brother?"
Hearing his son's question, the old clan leader was stunned and squinted at him.
Before he could speak, the door of Bai Yunsong and his wife opened.
"Second brother, you are back. Zheng, go and prepare some dishes. Today, my father and I will have a good drink with my second brother. We were busy before, and we haven't sat down and talked for a long time."
Bai Yunsong said, as if he had just discovered that his second brother was kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly helped him up.
"Why are you still kneeling? Get up and talk. Can Dad still embarrass you?"
The old clan leader watched the eldest couple acting, squinted his eyes, but did not speak to stop them.
Bai Yungui stood up and grabbed his eldest brother's wrist.
"Brother, what do you think of Dad's proposal? I think we can give it a try, so that we brothers can experience each other's lives."
Seeing his second brother staring at him with burning eyes, Bai Yunsong opened his mouth, and for a moment, he didn't know how to refute.
"You are a jerk who doesn't know what's good for you. Your eldest brother kindly helped you up, why don't you know what's good for you?"
Old Mrs. Bai leaned on her crutches and stared at her second son with reproach in her eyes.
Seeing everyone silent, Zheng blinked.
"Oh, mother, they are joking, don't take it seriously. Let's prepare some dishes for them, let them have a good drink and tell their hearts."
Bai Yungui looked at his eldest sister-in-law, and the corners of his mouth pulled a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Does my eldest sister-in-law want me to joke? Or do you and your eldest brother know that farm work is too tiring and don't want to exchange at all?"
Zheng: "..."
Shameless things, don't know how to back off when given a way out.
"What? Do you really want to be the eldest? You've been working in the fields all these years, what do you know?"
The old lady felt distressed when she saw the eldest and his wife choking and their faces turned red. She glared at the second and poked the ground with her cane.
"You two don't need to worry about things outside. Just take care of the fields at home. It's just a little bit of work. Why are you so hypocritical?"
Bai Yungui lowered his eyebrows and listened to the old lady's words. He looked up at them with confusion in his eyes.
