The ox cart stopped.

Looking at the group of people appearing in front of her, Zhou Lingling was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

After carrying Old Lady Zhou to the back mountain and then running here, the brothers Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San finally caught up and suddenly put down the wooden board they were carrying.

"boom"

Half of Old Mrs. Zhou's body fell to the ground while she was lying on the wooden board.

She kept screaming "Ahhh", but Zhou Laosan said:

"Mom, what do you eat all day? Why are you so heavy?"

Not only does he have pain in his chest now, but his hands also hurt.

Boss Zhou shook his hands, with the same thought in his mind.

But he was more careful and realized that this was the doorstep of the old patriarch's house, and that the damn girl had used the excuse of them being unfilial to get his father to separate from them.

So Boss Zhou looked at the third one disapprovingly:

"Third brother, what are you talking about!"

"This is our own mother, you can't complain no matter how heavy it is!"

"Puchi", Zhou Lingling laughed out loud.

Since the last time they met, Old Lady Zhou on the wooden board had become skinny and bony, and the air was filled with an indescribable smell.

The wooden board that Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San found to lift her and Old Lady Zhou couldn't tell which one was heavier.

It is obvious that Mrs. Zhou has had a very unhappy life in the past few months.

Seeing that she was not living a happy life, Zhou Lingling was happy. She did not urge Tie Yuan to drive the carriage, but just sat there watching the family perform.

Hearing Zhou Lingling's laughter, Zhou Laosan also reacted.

He quickly pulled Old Man Zhou over and said to Old Man Zhou:

"Second brother, Mom and Dad heard that you returned to the village, but you didn't come home after waiting for a long time. They insisted on coming to see you, so my eldest brother and I had no choice but to send them here."

"Even if our family splits up, second brother, please talk to Mom and Dad for their kindness!"

Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San carried the person around the village, and some villagers had already followed to watch the fun.

Hearing Zhou Laosan's heartfelt request, some people frowned and thought without saying anything, while others felt a little reluctant.

"Brother Zhou Er, no matter how many faults Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou have, they are old now. You should go back and take a look at them!"

"Yeah, brother Zhou Er, the two elders are quite pitiful..."

It is said that whoever is weaker is right. This trick was used by Zhou Lingling to divide the family. Now Zhou Laosan also wants to take advantage of the second elder's pity to force Zhou Laoer.

Zhou Laoer jumped off the ox cart and looked at Old Man Zhou standing in front of him with a complicated look.

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

Old man Zhou raised his head. His dim eyes were no longer as sharp as before. Instead, he stared blankly at the son whom he once cared least about. Suddenly, he was speechless.

Zhou Laosan nudged him from the side and said, "Dad, didn't you say you wanted to talk to your second brother? Why don't we go home and talk?"

Old Man Zhou lowered his head and said, "No, there's no need to go home and tell them..."

Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San were anxious, "Why don't you go home?"

If they don't go home, how can they ask their second brother for money?

They also want to save face!

What a fool the old man is. Now that he has enough money, he really doesn’t care about their lives!

Zhou Laoer watched as Old Man Zhou was pushed and shoved by his eldest and third brothers, but he refused to speak, with a hint of hostility flashing in his eyes.

He did something he had wanted to do for decades.

He rushed over and took Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San away from Old Man Zhou, one in each hand, and then gave them a hearty beating.

"I'll beat you two unfilial bastards to death!"

"White-eyed wolf!"

"You heartless bastard!"

The old man and the old lady had been so kind to them before, but now the two brothers only wanted to use them to gain benefits from him.

What a pair of beasts!

Zhou Laoer beat the two brothers so hard that they screamed, and Zhou Lingling clapped and cheered on the side.

Sun and Qian, who followed, shouted for help but hid in the crowd nearby, fearing that Zhou Laoer would beat them up too.

What was strange was that when she saw her two sons being beaten, Old Mrs. Zhou didn't scream "Ah ah", but just stared blankly. If you looked closely, you could see a strange smile on her face.

No one in the village tried to stop them. After Zhou Laoer finished beating her, Zhou Lingling asked her father considerately:

"Dad, does your hand hurt?"

Zhou Lao Er shook his head. "Just the two of them. Your father and I dealt with them like chickens. We didn't even break a sweat."

Zhou Lingling's eyes were full of stars: "My dad is awesome!"

Zhou Laoer was very pleased with his daughter's praise.

After Zhou Lao Er returned to Old Man Zhou, Sun and Qian dared to help their husbands up. Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San had been beaten beyond recognition.

My chest hurts, my hands hurt, my face hurts, my feet hurt, everything hurts...

The key is that I can’t even speak.

How can I ask my second uncle for money?

Sun and Qian were dumbfounded. They supported their husbands and looked at Zhou Laoer who was talking to Old Man Zhou.

"Dad, I can't take you to town. If you want to live, think about it carefully and don't cause me any more trouble."

Zhou Laoer spoke to his father with a serious face.

Old man Zhou slowly raised his head, which had been lowered. He looked at his second son's serious expression and nodded after a long time.

"Yes, Dad knows. I was confused before..."

Zhou Laoer had no intention of listening to his confession. He searched his body thoroughly and found about a hundred copper coins, which he gave all to Old Man Zhou.

"I've already given you and mother the money for these two months' medicine. These are my personal gifts to you and your parents."

"Let's go. I'll take you and mother back."

After Zhou Laoer finished speaking, he said something to his daughter, squatted down, picked up Old Lady Zhou from the ground, and walked towards Old Zhou's house.

Zhou Lingling signaled Uncle Tie to follow in the ox cart, and the onlookers quickly made way.

Although Zhou Laoer's way of handling the situation was different from what everyone imagined, no one could say anything bad about it.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew why the two brothers carried the paralyzed old lady and Old Man Zhou to find Zhou Laoer. They wanted to persuade Zhou Laoer to compromise for the sake of the old couple, but he just started beating them without saying a word.

That was really exhilarating!

This also made some people in the village who suffered the same loss as Zhou Laoer remember it silently in their hearts.

Parents are parents, brothers are brothers. They only need to fulfill their duty to support their parents, and do not need to care about their brothers.

Old man Zhou held the copper coin tightly in his hand, turned around and followed his second son.

Sun and Qian stared at the money in the old man's hand with burning eyes, and hurriedly helped him to follow.

Zhou Laoer put the old lady back on the bed without any disgust.

He also found the neighbor aunt on the other side, took five cents from Zhou Lingling, and asked her to help the old lady wash her body.

The neighbor aunt happily took the money and quickly went to the kitchen to boil water, praising Zhou Laoer for his filial piety.

Sun stood at the main entrance, watching Zhou Laoer give the money to outsiders, and immediately stopped her:

"Second Uncle, I can clean Mom's body myself, why do you need an outsider?"

The neighbor aunt was unwilling to let the money she had earned go to waste, so she immediately mocked her, "Come on, if you can wipe it for your mother-in-law, why do you need me?"

As the aunt said this, she pushed Sun to stagger with her butt, then she picked up a bunch of firewood and went into the kitchen.

snort!

No one can steal my money from me!
