Eating big melon is so refreshing

Zhao Bei had four daughters-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law, Wang, was the eldest daughter of Zhao Yang's cousin. Zhao Bei was attracted by Wang's hard work and ability and the ability to give birth to a son.

Let’s skip the second son’s wife, Ms. Jiang. The second son is likely to marry into the family, and any other child Ms. Jiang gives birth to will have the surname Jiang.

Zhao Sanlang insisted on marrying the third son's wife, Mrs. Du. She was weak and timid, and had little strength, except for giving birth to two sons.

The fourth son's wife, Ms. Gao, is the niece of the head of Gaojia Village. Ms. Gao is quite powerful, and she is confident with her large dowry, so no one can control her.

Zhao Beijia

When Wang learned that Zhao Sanlang and his family were planning to move to the county town, she felt unhappy.

Wang felt that among her sisters-in-law, only Du was inferior to her. Now Du had surpassed her to go to the city to enjoy a good life, while she had to deal with crops for the rest of her life, which made her feel depressed.

Wang used to think that the status of the eldest daughter-in-law was so prestigious, but now she feels that this status is so burdensome.

Zhao Dalang saw his wife's mood and said in a faint voice, "I am the eldest son and will inherit 70% of my father's property. I will be a peasant all my life. Didn't you know that back then?"

Wang felt a little guilty and said, "I just..."

She thought that the sisters-in-law were all digging for food in the soil, but she never expected that they would grow wings and fly away one by one.

"The third brother can make wooden toys, and the third brother's wife can make new clothes. They have better development opportunities in the city." Zhao Dalang said, "If we go to the city, how can we support our family? Da Niu is studying this year, and Er Niu will also study next year. Where will we get the money?"

Wang lowered her head and said nothing.

Zhao Dalang's voice became even calmer. "I don't care what little thoughts you have, but your little thoughts cannot harm the interests of the Zhao family. You have endured the hard times in the past few years, but now that life is getting better, you can't endure it. I won't force you."

Having lived together for eight years, how could Zhao Dalang not understand Wang's character? Wang felt that as the eldest daughter-in-law, she should be superior to her sisters-in-law, and no one could compare to her except to show off in front of Du.

Now that Mrs. Du is moving into the city, Mrs. Wang will feel aggrieved when facing the powerful Mrs. Gao.

Zhao Dalang cursed him in his heart as he only got 21 acres of his father's 30 acres of dry land. His three sons' education and marriage all depended on the crops, so their lives must have been very dry.

He wished that all his younger brothers would do well in the county town so that his son would have the opportunity to go to the county town. He knew very well that there was no future for him to stay in Zhaojia Village and farm.

Unless his family is like my third uncle's, with a small population and a lot of land, and he only needs to rent the land and collect the crops, he will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

the other side

Mrs. Du packed her luggage happily. She had originally planned to wait until the head of the family went to do business with her second brother and had some money in hand so that they could settle down in the county town. At that time, she would then propose to move her family to the county town.

They never expected that their second brother had already paved the way for them. They had rented a house in the county town and they would be moving into the city tomorrow.

The head of the family was right. He was the closest to the second brother among all the brothers, and he was always the one who had the most good things happen to him.

"Boss, are we going to take these big, bulky things with us?"

"I can't take all of this with me at once, so I'll pack up some of the most important things first. I'm going to pack my toolbox now. Wood, bamboo and other things will take up a lot of space, so I'll have to take the firewood with me too. Everything in the city is expensive."

Zhao Sanlang thought of something and said, "Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu will return to the village tomorrow and will probably stay for a few days. Let's leave Daqing to accompany them. Father and mother have a grandson now and they don't have time to care about one less son around them."

No one knows a mother better than her son. Zhao Sanlang indeed understood his mother. Since the birth of his eldest son, his status had plummeted.

Daqing is a gentle child. As long as someone feeds him, he will forget his parents. He looks a bit like his grandmother Zhao Yang, and his status in the family is second only to Da Niu and Er Niu.

Zhao Silang and Zhao Sanlang shared the same yard, and they could see clearly what was going on next door.

Gao Shi did not hide the envy in her eyes and said, "Silang, I also want to go to the county town. It's very prosperous there. Everything in the village is good except that it's too quiet."

Zhao Silang thought about it seriously and said, "Then we should have a daughter. As you can see, there are more boys than girls in our family. My father and mother like granddaughters very much."

Gao touched her flat belly and was a little frustrated. "I've been married for half a year, why haven't I gotten pregnant?"

"What's so strange about this? My third sister-in-law didn't get pregnant until half a year after she got married, and my second sister-in-law didn't get pregnant until two years after they got married."

"My sister-in-law got pregnant a month after she got married, and gave birth to three sons in a row. People in the village said she was lucky." Gao still wanted to have a son. She felt that it would be enough to have a son and then a daughter.

Zhao Silang said in a subtle tone, "My mother originally liked the Wang family's daughter because she could give birth to a son, and my sister-in-law was also very proud of having given birth to three sons."

Gao heard that the tone was not right and said, "The old people in the village always say that having more children means more blessings. Do you think there is anything wrong with that?"

Zhao Silang's expression was intriguing. "It's true that having many children means more blessings. The problem is that the premise of having many children means more blessings is that these children must be well-fed and well-clothed, and can afford to go to school, so that they can have a promising future."

Gao said in a confused manner, "Isn't Danniu in school now?"

"Is that the tuition fee paid by my eldest brother and his wife?" Zhao Silang chuckled. "That's the private allowance from my grandparents. My eldest brother will inherit 70% of the family land and the old house. The four of us brothers can only share the remaining 30% of the land. You said that it's a problem to support ourselves with two acres of dry land. How can we support our children?"

Gao was stunned.

Zhao Erlang was a clear-headed man, so at a young age, he was determined to be Zhao Ming's servant, regardless of what people in the village said behind his back. He went to work in the county town at the age of fourteen.

Zhao Sanlang's character is a bit cowardly. The only time he defies his mother is when it comes to finding a wife. He doesn't want his eldest sister-in-law's younger sister, so he falls in love with Mrs. Du, even though the Du family is poorer than the Wang family and Mrs. Du's two elder sisters both gave birth to daughters.

Zhao Silang saw that his mother disliked Du and Wang took the opportunity to bully Du, so he deliberately found a strong wife so that he would not be the one to be bullied.

Gao came to the conclusion that her sister-in-law Wang seemed to have a gentle personality, but was actually a sly person. She should avoid dealing with people like her in the future.

"When Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu come back tomorrow, we should treat them better. They are smart and will have great futures." Zhao Silang said, "When we have children in the future, let them be closer to them, just like the third brother now. The second brother always thinks of him first when something good happens."

A war without the smoke of gunpowder has begun, and none of the brothers of the Zhao family is truly stupid.
