Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

When the moon was high in the sky, my sister-in-law and her friends came back, covered with a thick layer of snow. The whole Zhao family was plunged into a sad atmosphere.

Old man Zhao smoked his pipe silently, looking at the candlelight coming out of his eldest son's window, with an irritated expression on his face.

"Boss, you should give us your word. What should we do next? The old man is injured and has no money. Should we help him?"

Old man Zhao waved his hands immediately, "That won't work. If you help the eldest brother, what about the second, third, and fourth brothers? You can't help them all, right?"

Mrs. Zhao was a little hesitant, "But the eldest son is the eldest son in the family, and we will have to rely on him for our old age."

"Come on, I have so many sons, I don't have to worry about my retirement." Old man Zhao didn't care at all, "Besides, we have already spent money to see a doctor for the eldest son, isn't that enough?"

Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything else, which was taken as her tacit consent to the matter. However, the eldest sister-in-law cried so much that her eyes were blind. Her husband broke his leg, there was not enough food at home, and a large sum of money was spent on medical treatment. What should she do in the future?

Although Su Tong did not help them, he did not have the heart to watch them starve to death, nor was he so vicious. He let them use the coarse grains in their hands to exchange for some bran from the fourth son's wife's family. Although it was hard to swallow, it could at least fill their stomachs.

The sister-in-law did exactly that. Su Tong couldn't stand it, so every time he spent a penny to buy two big bones, he would give them one and let them stew it with some radish and cabbage. It was a rare meat dish.

The weather was getting cold, and seeing that the livestock at home were not growing meat, Mrs. Zhao took her sons to kill the pigs and chickens, and then sold them to wealthy families in the city. The remaining offal that could not be sold was eaten by themselves.

Mrs. Zhao threw some uneaten pork bones to Su Tong, "I remember you love eating pork bones the most, so these are yours. Don't spend money on these things in the future."

Su Tong came mainly to drink the pork bone soup. Who likes to chew on pork bones without even a trace of meat on them? Then he took a set of pig lungs and pig stomach, cleaned them and stir-fried them with chili peppers. It can be regarded as a good dish to go with wine.

After stewing the pork bones into soup, add the cleaned pig stomach and cut two or three pieces of tofu. It is simply something that even gods would not trade for.

My fourth brother’s wife had long felt that her mother-in-law was unreliable, so she took her husband back to her parents’ home and asked him to help them, while also having enough food to eat.

A few days before the Chinese New Year, Zhao Laosan finally came back, his body covered with a thick layer of snow. Even after entering the house, he was shivering.

"It's too cold." Zhao Laosan stuffed the money he had earned during this period into Su Tong's hand while drinking ginger soup, trembling, "You keep this money. In addition to the reward money given by the master, there is also the little money I earned during this period."

In addition to bringing back some money, Zhao Laosan also brought back some other things, mainly pork and even some brown sugar cakes, which were all rewards from the host.

When Mrs. Zhao heard the noise, she came to the third brother's room and looked at the things on the table with her eyes wide open. "Third brother, do you still have me and your father in your heart? You didn't even go to our room after you came back. You are really making a mess. I think you are just hanging out outside. I don't even know who raised you with all their hard work."

Zhao Laosan was shivering all over, even his teeth were making noises from the cold. "If you hadn't stopped me from visiting you, it would have been because I was covered in cold air. You and my father are too old to handle this cold. I wanted to wait until I felt better before visiting you."

Mrs. Zhao's expression eased a little, and when the third brother wasn't paying attention, she moved the things on the table into her arms.

"You still have some conscience, but we haven't divided the family yet. Everything you bring back belongs to us."

After seeing this scene, Su Tong couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had put most of the things in the cabinet. However, it seemed that Mrs. Zhao had no intention of leaving and was even staring at their cabinet, obviously wanting to open their cabinet and take a look.

Zhao Laosan took out a few silver ingots from his pocket and put them on the table. Just as Mrs. Zhao was about to reach out to take them, Zhao Laosan divided them into 7 parts and parts.

"This is for handing in, and this is for me to keep. My wife is about to give birth, and this will be a big need for money then." Zhao Laosan said as he put the remaining money into his pocket.

When the old woman saw the money, she wanted to snatch it and put it in her arms immediately, but since her hands were no longer able to hold the thing, she could only leave indignantly.

In addition to receiving a reward, Zhao Laosan also made a lot of money this time, as much as three or four taels of silver.

Mrs. Zhao had lost a large sum of money because of her eldest son's leg injury, but now she has made it all back and even made a lot of money. When she thought of the money left in the hands of the third son, she immediately became interested.

At dinner time in the evening, Mrs. Zhao cruelly fried an egg and slowly brought it to the third son's room.

"Third brother, you are a hero of our family, but even though you are rich now, you can't forget our family. You don't know how stupid your eldest brother is. He broke his leg while hunting in the mountains. Now we have to spend money to buy medicine for him, otherwise he will easily suffer from illness in the future.

You see, you are the most promising person in this family. Everything in the family depends on you. Otherwise, you will suffer a little loss. So don’t rush to save money..."

Zhao Laosan couldn't listen any longer, "Mom, this money was agreed upon in the beginning, and now you're going back on your word, what's the point of me going out to work?

Besides, it was because of you that my eldest brother’s leg was injured. If you hadn’t given my eldest brother so little food, he wouldn’t have risked being eaten alive by wild beasts to run to the mountains to hunt.

Okay, don't think about the little money I have. I gave you so much money before, but you never took it out to spend on us."

"You, you, you..." Mrs. Zhao was so angry at the third son's words, "Why did I give birth to such a disobedient and unfilial son like you? You are young and don't know how many expenses there are at home, especially since spring is coming soon. After paying taxes, the family's grain will really not be enough to eat. You are the most promising child in the family, you have to make some plans for the family."

"Mom, what you said is a bit disheartening. I'm not the eldest son in the family, let alone the mainstay of the family. Besides, you and dad are still here. Even if the family falls to the point of starving, you can still ask me to take care of it." Zhao Laosan spread his hands. "Of course, if the Zhao family can let me be the head, then I will definitely support the Zhao family even if I have to eat coarse food. The key is whether you are willing to give up your power?"

Mrs. Zhao jumped up in anger. This damn brat, she was just greedy for the money in the other party's hands, but the other party started to covet the power in her hands. He was really bold.
