Yang Zhiqiang listened to his brother’s words, and no matter how angry he was, he didn’t make a fuss. He knew Chunsheng was right.
So he reluctantly called Mom and Dad.
Hu Chunhua’s eyes were red, "Go, don’t co back in the future. When I die, there’s no need for you to wear mourning clothes."
This frightened Yang Zhiqiang. In the rural hotown, words like this ant breaking off relations.
"Mom, how can you say that?"
"Zhiqiang, do you know what you’ve been doing all these years? Go, you’re all ingrates. From now on, you don’t have parents, and I don’t have a son like you."
Yang Minggang sat on the kang, smoking silently. He knew his wife was feeling aggrieved.
"Mom, isn’t it because you’re biased? If you had found a job, I wouldn’t be like this?"
"The parents who gave birth to and raised you aren’t as good as a job. You’re truly an ingrate. Get lost, don’t co back."
Yang Zhiqiang looked at his father seated on the kang, knowing that if he left today like this, he would really lose everything.
He was upset because everyone kept saying that his parents favored his brother and gave him all the good jobs. Slowly, he started to believe it too.
"Do you think Mom got this job?
I’m telling you, it’s not true. Xiao Tan thanked us for visiting Yuanyuan.
He took to the factory to find soone, and it was through my own efforts that I passed the exam. Even soone like who knows more words than you and can do accounting barely passed. Do you think soone like you could pass? Illiterate people aren’t wanted by the factory.
Don’t say you were working then. When you couldn’t read, others might not know, but I know. Mom was teaching the three of us back then, yet you always ran out to play, never writing anything."
Yang Zhiqiang was infuriated by being told this, mainly because everything his brother said was true.
"Don’t act tough here, I’ll go back and find Yuanyuan. We’ll see if she cares about you, you ingrate."
"We are brothers."
"I don’t have a brother like you. Don’t think I don’t know that you earn little and don’t give Mom and Dad a penny; you give it all to the mother-in-law’s family. Just go there."
Yang Chunsheng was angry too. He originally wasn’t at ho and had hoped his elder brother would take care of Mom and Dad, but didn’t expect it to turn out like this.
Yang Minggang tapped the tobacco pipe, "Stop talking. Zhiqiang, leave, don’t co back."
"Dad." Yang Zhiqiang wasn’t clueless; he just had soft ears and people often whispered things to him, that’s why he was like this.
"Go, and think carefully yourself. You’re not young anymore, yet you didn’t even notice that all the family’s money had been taken away. Just the other day, I went to the market and saw your in-laws spending extravagantly, even saying that their son-in-law gives them so money every month, a steady job, and will support them in old age.
If that’s the case, then we don’t have a son like you anymore. Go, live the way you want.
But rember, the house is ours, you did work for the family, and although you ate too, we are giving you this house. From now on, we have no relationship with you; if you want to be a son-in-law, then go."
Yang Zhiqiang got anxious, "Mom, Dad, I didn’t give them money, never said I’d support them in old age. There are so many sons-in-law in their family, it’s not just my responsibility."
"Go, we have no relation with you anymore. Chunsheng, since Yuanyuan is not in the country, do you have her secretary’s phone number?"
Yang Chunsheng nodded, "I do. Tell if there’s anything, and I’ll call."
"Alright, tomorrow you can make the call for . This job isn’t suitable for Yang Zhiqiang; we won’t waste our face for the ingrate."
Yang Zhiqiang was truly scared now. "Mom, Dad, I really didn’t do that, I’m only upset you favor the second."
"Favor? Enough, get out."
Yang Minggang saw his wife was truly angry, her face was pale.
He got off the kang, picked up the door bolt, and swung it directly at Yang Zhiqiang, hitting his back solidly. He was being lenient, otherwise, it would have been aid at the head.
"Get out."
Yang Zhiqiang had never seen his dad so angry before, and he was scared, dropping to his knees, "Mom, Dad, I was wrong. People kept saying good things about the second, and I’ve been farming all my life, so I got angry.
Saying these things today, I’ve figured it out. I’ll never do it again."
Hu Chunhua shook her head, "It’s too late, too late. You haven’t visited for a year, nor has this little ingrate. There will be a day you’ll regret. I urged you to study, and you end up hating us? Go, go to your grandmother’s house. Let’s see what happens to you in the future?
Ignorant thing. We don’t need you anymore."
Yang Zhiqiang saw his parents were truly angry and got even more scared. He was a filial person once. How did he end up doing such things?
He knelt there, not saying a word.
He truly didn’t know his wife was giving money to her family every month. His job at the cent factory was exhausting. He begrudged eating, begrudged drinking. He didn’t know the money had all gone to his in-laws.
This he truly didn’t know, and moreover, they were spreading falsehoods outside.
Hu Chunhua wiped her tears, "Get out, don’t upset anymore. Push to the edge and you’re kicked out, that house is our money."
Yang Zhiqiang was still kneeling. Only now did he realize he hadn’t visited his parents in years. Instead, he kept going to his in-laws.
Hu Chunhua and Yang Minggang weren’t unreasonable people. They’re not against a son being filial to in-laws, but there should be a limit. Moreover, the grandson has been spoiled. What can he do in the future? He always bullies Zong Wei, and they’re afraid if Chunsheng gets truly angry.
"Throw them out; don’t show up in front of . You haven’t co in years; I’ve lived regardless. Get out."
Yang Minggang picked up the door bolt again, "Get out, don’t co back."
"Mom, Dad, I really know I’m wrong."
"Too late, if you have ability, use it. If you upset , you’re kicked out, I’ll even destroy the house but won’t give it to you. Heartless creatures."
The father and son were truly terrified. Yang Minggang genuinely took action again. Yang Zhiqiang was kicked out.
Standing outside the door, he felt utterly distressed, his parents’ words echoing in his head. Yes, he hadn’t visited them in years, every visit was filled with argunts.
He knew Mom would surely call Yuanyuan. If they could arrange a job for him, they could also choose not to.
So, head downcast, he went ho. Dinner was already prepared.
"Back already, you didn’t bring anything? Yuanyuan always gives nice things, I told my parents so they could taste it too."
