"I’ve been working every day, and co the end of the year when the team distributes money, it’s always you, mother, who takes it,"
ng Xingwang said, suddenly pausing as his wife Niu Weizhen pinched the soft flesh on his waist. He then addressed Wang Guilan again, "Right, mother, Nannan has been crying nonstop at night these past few days,
both her mother and I are worried. We want to take her to the town’s health clinic for the doctor to have a look. Could you... could you give five yuan..."
"Does a re girl need to go to the hospital?"
Wang Guilan glared at her eldest son and said, "There’s no money for you. If you really want to take that girl to the doctor, find a way to get the money yourself."
Niu Weizhen: "Mother, Nannan is your granddaughter!"
"So what? You think I care?"
Wang Guilan rolled her eyes.
She didn’t even care about her son, let alone a granddaughter, what a joke!
Niu Weizhen: "Mother, does this an you refuse to give the money?"
Wang Guilan: "No."
Niu Weizhen: "Then let’s separate the family."
Wang Guilan: "You’re dreaming!"
Separate the family?
What a beautiful thought!
In this household, only the eldest had taken a wife, which resulted in the family incurring debt. Now, the wives of the second, third, and fourth sons were nowhere to be seen, while Lao Wu and Sixth Child were still growing. If she were to split the house and let the eldest branch out, would the rest of the burdens fall solely on her shoulders?
"Third brother, from today onwards, we are no longer brothers!"
ng Xingsheng’s nose was bruised and his face swollen from ng Xingping’s beating. Exhausted, ng Xingping let go of ng Xingsheng only to hear him utter these harsh words.
After staring at his second brother for a while, ng Xingping said, "Rember, you’re the one who said that."
"Yes, I’m the one saying it!"
ng Xingsheng sat on the ground, looking at ng Xingping as if he were an enemy.
"Fine, as you wish. From today, I, ng Xingping, am no longer your brother, and you are no longer my second brother," ng Xingping paused briefly before continuing, "Out of respect for our past brotherhood, I have one piece of advice for you: Cui Shuicao is not a good woman. She’s just stringing you along,
and she’s been involved with both Educated Youth Tang and Ma Donglai behind your back. If you’re content to be toyed with by a fickle woman and act the fool, then go ahead and follow this path to the end!"
"Third brother, what did you say? That wench from the Cui family has taken up with Educated Youth Tang? And she also has an affair with Team Leader’s House’s Donglai?"
Wang Guilan’s face turned grim as she sought confirmation from ng Xingping.
"I’ve seen her with my own eyes, washing clothes for Educated Youth Tang by the riverbank, and even carefully folding the dried clothes to hand over personally to Tang; and about her involvent with Ma Donglai, I witnessed that myself. They’ve both been to the small woods," ng Xingping affird.
Upon hearing what ng Xingping said, without waiting for any reaction from ng Xingsheng, Wang Guilan abruptly stood up and stord out of the main room.
Coming back to his senses, ng Xingsheng hurriedly got to his feet and called after Wang Guilan, "Mother, where are you going?"
"You spineless wretch, what’s it to you where your mother is going?!"
She hadn’t even brought a bride ho yet and already had a cuckold’s hat on her head; how did she give birth to such a worthless thing?
Grinding his teeth, ng Xingsheng glared at ng Xingping, "If you ruin things with Shuicao because of your ddling, I’ll make sure you pay!" He spat out each word before running after his mother.
Fourth Brother ng Xingguo asked ng Xingping, "Third brother, you didn’t lie to our mother, did you?"
"Why would I lie to mother?"
ng Xingping, now looking as if nothing had happened, sat down on a nearby stool and said to his three younger brothers, "Before eting the Luo Family’s eldest brother, I had the sa thoughts as the second, hoping to take advantage of the Luo Family’s eldest.
