After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Tiezhu was so angry after being scolded by his brothers that he was indeed in the wrong. Although he thought that his grandfather was fine for the time being, his brothers were so busy every day, especially Fang Tong.

Erwa was also angry and slapped him on the forehead: "From now on, if there is anything, you have to tell your brothers first. Do you hear me?"

Tiezhu nodded honestly.

"Let's go see the old man one day, you hear me?"

Fang Tong interrupted: "Why are you looking for a day? Let's go today. I'll go after work tonight. You can go anytime."

"Since you told me to, I'm going too!"

"I also!"

Qian Fengping overheard what was going on nearby and knew what Fang Tong was thinking. Before leaving work in the evening, she went to prepare something and gave it to him when she was done.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need, I don't know what's going on yet. I'll go take a look. I'll bring you over next time I have a chance."

Fang Tong and Erwa went to Tiezhu's house to see the old man together. Everyone was carrying something in their hands.

On the way, Tiezhu told his brothers about his grandfather.

"Doctor Gu said it was a stroke. My grandfather had this disease a few years ago, but it was not serious at that time. He has been slowly recuperating in the past few years and has recovered a lot. I don't know what happened this year. Maybe it was because the winter was too cold and his body was exposed to the wind, so the disease relapsed. Now his lower body cannot move. He needs someone to help him when he wants to turn over and get out of bed."

"Every day after work, I change his clothes, wash him, feed him and give him water. But he's still taken care of by my uncle and his family..."

On the way, the brothers were in a bad mood when they learned about the old man's condition. When they arrived at the place, they smelled a strange smell as soon as they entered the house.

Fang Tong was already unhappy at this time.

This group of people are really just waiting for Tiezhu to come back and clean up the mess. Does that mean this old man is no longer their family's old man, but Tiezhu's alone?

Erwa and the others also exchanged glances.

Tiezhu of course smelled it too and hurried into the house first.

"Master, my brothers are here to see you. Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you!"

Fang Tong and the others were not shy and followed them in. The old man was lying on the kang. When he saw the visitors, his face turned red and he spoke vaguely, but it seemed that he wanted them to leave.

The eldest son has several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who don't take care of him during the day, so he is tidying up his trouser pockets again. Now someone suddenly comes to see him, and even though the old man is old, he can't bring himself to do this and feels a little embarrassed.

Fang Tong and the others didn't know what was going on, so none of them left. It was just a matter of us brothers lending a hand.

Erwa said hello and went to boil water, while Tiezhu went to get clothes for his grandfather.

There was not enough water, so Goudan went to fetch some, and Fang Tong helped to take care of the old man, cleaning him inside and out.

Several people were busy running around, giving the old man a hot bath and changing him into clean clothes. They couldn't help but think in their hearts that it was already like this and no one cared during the day. Isn't this just a real torture?

Tiezhu usually serves like this by himself, and after one trip, he would be exhausted no matter how strong he is.

The old man's eyes were red and he felt very upset.

He didn't enjoy any of the blessings of his own sons and grandsons, and was the only filial son.

I didn't expect that Tiezhu's brothers outside would serve him so attentively. I didn't see any disdain from beginning to end. It's so rare.

Think about a person’s life, and you can never predict anything. But during the days when he was sick, we could see clearly.

The mattresses on the bed had also been changed and were very dry. Fang Tong sat by the kang and chatted with the old man.

The old man's mind is still clear, but he is not in good shape and speaks a little slowly, but it's not a big problem.

But while Fang Tong was talking to him, he was still thinking that this was not a good thing.

He just stays in this room all day long, and the smell is bad. Tiezhu still has to go to work to earn money, and he can't not make money. If he needs to take medicine to recuperate in the future, all that money will be spent.

When Fang Tong encountered problems, he sincerely thought about his brothers. This is why they came to him without hesitation when he did business.

He now looked at Tiezhu, even with a serious tone.

"Tiezhu, you need to talk to your aunt. Give her some money or something so she can take good care of the old man when you're not home. Even though this isn't a good idea, we can't let the old man suffer."

Unexpectedly, the first person to disagree was the old man.

He reached out and tugged at Fang Tong's sleeve. "No, no, the silver, the silver cannot be touched. It must be left for Tie Zhu to marry."

He spoke with difficulty, but his eyes were bright and determined.

Tiezhu was more worried about the old man, so he quickly said, "Grandpa, the money I've saved is enough for the betrothal gift."

But the old man still shook his head: "How can it be enough to just pay the betrothal gift? After getting married, you still have to make a living. You still have to have children and raise them, and you need money everywhere."

He took a breath and pointed to the hole in the kang: "Help me get the copper coins. They're over there."

Fang Tong reached out to the place where the old man pointed, and stole out an old box from the kang hole. At the old man's signal, he opened it. After a quick look, he found that there were ten taels of silver inside!

Fang Tong was stunned.

Tiezhu had been working for his family for a while, but he knew how much he was paid. He also knew how hard life had been for the old man. How did the old man save so much money? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he squeezed it out of his teeth.

He had never been so lucky in his life and had never felt the feeling of an elder doing this for a younger person. He was choked for a moment.

The old man said, "This is all I've saved for Tiezhu over the years, but I'm sick now and my brain isn't working as well. I'm afraid one day I'll be completely clueless. I know this kid is honest and can't hold onto things. Tongzi, I'm entrusting this silver to you. Please keep it for him and give it to Tiezhu when he needs it."

Fang Tong was speechless. The old man trusted him too much. He was an outsider after all. Even though he had earned a lot of money with his brothers these days, how many elders would entrust such an important matter to an outsider or a junior?

But on second thought, he couldn't help but sigh that the old man was so cunning. He knew that with Tiezhu's temper, if he had given it to him earlier, he might not be able to keep it and it would be easy for his uncle's family to fool him.

Now that he is in such a state, he still refuses to give up on the money. If they hadn't come today, I don't know how long I would have been able to hold on.

Thinking about his family's situation, he couldn't blame the old man for being partial. The main reason was that after Tiezhu's parents passed away, all his parents' things were taken by his uncle. If the old man didn't consider Tiezhu, what would Tiezhu do in the future?

Tiezhu looked at the box in Fang Tong's hand, his eyes turned red, and in the blink of an eye, tears came down.
