âThen 1 need the money now. Big Brother, give me 300 Yuan first.â Wei Zhenghao readily accepted his advice and immediately reached out to Eldest Wei.
Eldest Wei subconsciously clutched his pocket tightly. He looked at Zhu Qiulian with a hesitant expression.
âWhere do you spend your money? Why do you want 300 Yuan for no reason?â Zhu Qiulian stretched out her hand to push Eldest Wei. âHurry up and go home. Keep the money.â
Hearing this, Eldest Wei quickly turned around and left.
âWaitâ¦â Wei Zhenghao wanted to say something, but Eldest Wei had already left.
Seeing this, his eldest daughter-in-law also said, âThen, Mother, Iâll go home and cook. You and Second Brother should pack up and come back quickly!â
With that said, he slipped away.
âDonât go yet.â Wei Zhenghao wanted to chase after Eldest Wei, but Zhu Qiulian blocked his way.
âAll right, all right. Leave your money with your brother. Youâll get your share.â Zhu Qiulian advised.
âMother, 1 have important business to do now. Ask Big Brother to give me three hundred first. I also have a share in this money, so 1 can use it whenever 1 want!â
Zhu Qiulian waved her hand and said, â1 still donât know you. What business can you have right now?â After taking the money, he might just turn around and send it to Zhang Yao. âAll right, all right, hurry up and pack up. Itâs time to go home for dinner.â
âThen what is proper business? Then tell me, when can you give me the money?â Wei Zheng was extremely proud.
He couldnât even make decisions with his own money?
He had promised Zhang Yao that he would send the money to her.
âFrom now on, Iâll ask your Big Brother to give you 50 yuan as pocket money every month. Other than that, the rest of the money is with your Big Brother. Youâll need it in many ways in the future. Seeing that Zhang Yao isnât back yet, sheâs probably determined to get a divorce. After the divorce, youâll have to marry another one.â Zhu Qiulian muttered.
Seeing he couldnât get the money, Wei Zhenghao lost his appetite. â1 donât want to eat anymore, you guys eat by yourselves!â
He flicked his sleeves and left.
Zhu Qiulian looked at Wei Zhenghaoâs back, chuckled, and shook her head proudly.
Back home, Wei Zhenghao lay on the brick bed. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
How come the days now werenât as good as when Zhang Yao was around?
At that time, even though Zhang Yao didnât give him the money she earned, she could at least give him a salary of 300 Yuan a month!
Even if he went out to work, he wouldnât be able to earn much. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Not to mention, most of the familyâs expenses were paid for by Zhang Yao. They could eat meat every three or five days, and they could also see minced meat in the stir-fried vegetables.
Now that he was working for his Big Brother, he didnât even get to eat minced meat for a month and didnât even get a single cent.
So, what was he doing now?
His wife had run away, and he had grown distant from his child.
He worked so hard all day and didnât even get to eat a mouthful of meat!
He wasnât a child anymore, so why would he leave the money he earned with Big Brother?
He already said he have a need for it, so why didnât Big Brother give it to him?
The more Wei Zhenghao thought about it, the angrier and more sullen he became.
He suddenly sat up from the brick bed.
He hadnât had lunch and he had woken up too quickly, so when he got up, Wei Zhenghaoâs vision was dark for a long time.
After a moment, he returned to his senses, immediately put on his shoes, and walked toward Eldest Weiâs house aggressively.
He had to get the money back no matter what. He had promised to pay for Wenwenâs school fees, so he could not go back on his word.
Wei Zhenghao was about to push the door open when he suddenly thought of something.
He hesitated for a moment and retracted his hand.
He tiptoed to the back of the house.
It was noon in summer, and the sun was very hot. There was not a single person on the street.
Wei Zhenghao stood at the back of the house, his ears perked up.
The back windows were open, so Wei Zhenghao could hear the sound from inside the house.
âEat slowly, thereâs another plate below.â His eldest son said.
âMom, this meat is really delicious!â
âGrandma, can you ask my second uncle not to come to my house anymore? Once heâs here, we wonât be able to eat any meat.â
The two children asked innocently.
Outside, Wei Zhenghao clenched his fists as he listened to his nephews.
As expected, he had guessed correctly. It wasnât a coincidence at all. They had specifically chosen to buy meat when he wasnât around.
He just didnât understand. He had helped the family with so much work, so why was he not even willing to have a bite of meat?
They were both motherâs sons, how could she treat him like this?
In the past, his mother was not good to his family. He thought that it was because his mother didnât like Zhang Yao and Wenwen. But why was his mother still so bad to him even after Zhang Yao and Wenwen left?
âWhy are you so talkative? hurry up and eat.â Inside the house, Eldest Wei was lecturing his two sons.
âMother, what should we do with the money? Are you really going to give it to Second Brother?â After a pause, Eldest Wei looked at Zhu Qiulian and asked.
His tone was full of probing.
Hearing this, Wei Zhenghaoâs expression changed and he quickly moved closer to the wall.
âWhat do you mean? Iâve already told him that 1â11 give him 50 yuan as pocket money every month. Other than that, thereâs no need to give him any extra money.â Zhu Qiulian said indifferently.
âWhat if he asks me for money?â Eldest Wei asked again.
âAre you stupid? you said that the money was spent on fertilizer and seeds. The money is in your hands, so you can do whatever you want.â Zhu Qiulian said.
Big Eldest Wei heaved a sigh of relief, âThatâs good. Heâs the only one whoâs full. The whole family isnât hungry. As long as he was not hungry, what was the point of having so much money? Wenwen was a little girl. In the future, not only would he not need to spend money, but he could also receive betrothal gifts! 1 have to pay for their education, their marriage, and their house. The pressure is huge.â
âAll right, all right, donât cry that youâre poor. Second Brother has been giving you a lot of money all these years. Didnât all the money he gave me every time go into your pocket? Youâll also get free labor for 50 yuan.â Although Zhu Qiulian was biased, she still felt a little uncomfortable seeing her eldest son scheme against her youngest son.
âThatâs because you dote on the two boys! Donât worry, old man. When they grow up, theyâll definitely be filial to you.â Eldest Weiâs mouth was sweet as he painted a big picture for Zhu Qiulian.
Behind the house, Wei Zhenghao sneered and clenched his fist as he walked to the front door.
He raised his foot and kicked the door.
It turned out that he had been a fool for a few months in vain.
The other party had no intention of giving him any money at all. They were just tricking him into working for them.
What family? It was all bullshit?
The sound of the door being kicked made Eldest Wei shiver. He immediately threw his chopsticks on the table. âWho the hell is tired of living?â
He got off the brick bed and walked outside.
He walked into the courtyard and bumped into Wei Zhenghao.
Old man Wei asked in a big breath, âSecond Brother, are you crazy? Why did you kick the door open out of the blue?â
Wei Zhenghao stepped forward and grabbed his collar. He roared, âGive me the money!â
âWhat money? Didnât our mother make an agreement with you?â Big Brother Wei reached out to pull Wei Zhenghaoâs hand in frustration..
