What is the purpose of a man’s life?

Zhao Debang, who was not loved by his biological father or stepmother since childhood, has only one elder sister. Before her marriage, her first love was books, second was money, and third was himself. He believed that a man's life is all about having a wife and children and a warm bed.

Before marriage, he listened to his sister, and after marriage, he listened to his wife. Of course, Zhao Debang listened to women all his life. The only time in his life he didn't listen to his sister was when he married Li Aidi.

But Zhao Debang never felt that he had done anything wrong. His sister disobeyed their father and married a man she liked, so why couldn't he marry a woman he liked?

Even at this point, Zhao Debang still felt that he loved Li Aidi, but Li Aidi was too confused this time. Why did she cause trouble behind his back and even made herself a labor camp prisoner?

He wanted to make some arrangements but he didn't have two taels of silver on him, so he could only stay alone in the small room vacated by the Zhao family and drink cheap wine on the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion.

"Look, look, he doesn't do any serious work every day, doesn't even think about going out to find some work to supplement the family income, and all he does is drink. If you didn't know, you'd think he had a fortune at home waiting to be squandered!"

Zhao Debang's sister-in-law stood in the yard with her hands on her hips and cursed. The neighbors around could hear it clearly as long as they had good hearing.

This kind of scene has happened countless times since Zhao Debang brought his family back here. At first, it was just a test and intentional or unintentional expulsion of people. Since Li Aidi became a labor camp prisoner, it has become more serious.

The original temptation disappeared, and now they just stood in the yard and cursed, and they were just about to throw their things out and drive them away.

Zhao Yaozu could never tolerate this kind of humiliation. He has a job now. Although the salary is not much, he still has to pay back the money Zhao Debang borrowed from the factory every month, but at least he still has to get the salary for food and drink.

Fortunately, Zhao Yaozu has had many brothers over the years. He eats at one restaurant today and another restaurant tomorrow. As long as he doesn't look at other people's faces, others won't look at him. As long as he doesn't listen to those sour words, no one will say anything sour to him!

Zhao Yaozu can escape, but Zhao Debang cannot. What he fears most is that if he goes out one day, he will never come back.

This house belongs to his Zhao family, and his surname is also Zhao. Why should he kick them out?

Zhao Debang remained silent. Zhao's sister-in-law scolded him for a long time. She felt really aggrieved. She had fought so hard to get this house for her daughter to live in, but now she just gave it to Zhao Debang. How could she accept this? After finishing her daily scolding, she turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue working.

There were no more ugly curses in the yard, and Zhao Debang's dead fish heart returned to silence again. But if you look closely, you can see that the wrinkles at the corners of Zhao Debang's eyes are full of moisture.

It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this. The family should be having a reunion dinner in the big house, the wife busy preparing dinner, the son coming home from get off work at the tobacco factory, and the daughter acting coquettishly beside him. As for himself?

Of course, I am looking forward to having grandchildren.

How did it all turn out like this...

A figure appeared in front of Zhao Debang, her niece Tan Yuan.

"You ungrateful bastard, you ungrateful bastard! If I had known I wouldn't have raised you back then, I would have let you fend for yourself..."

......

Tan Yuan had no idea what kind of life Zhao Debang was leading, or even that he regretted raising her. At this moment, she was lying on a recliner, admiring the moon with Nian Lin and Li Xiu.

"Just wait, I have something good for you!"

Li Xiu looked at the moon and talked about her family's past. It took her a while to come out of the sweet memories. She skipped towards the kitchen. Only Nian Lin and Tan Yuan were left in the yard.

Nian Lin and Tan Yuan have biological parents, but one of them has not seen her parents for many years. She doesn't even know what her parents look like, let alone whether they are dead or alive, let alone any good memories.

Neither of them had much to say. For a moment, the yard was so quiet that nothing could be heard except the croaking of frogs outside.

"A-choo!!" A strong itchy sensation came over her nose, and Tan Yuan sneezed, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Nian Lin couldn't help but turn her head to look at her: "Did you catch a cold?"

As she said this, she put away the palm-leaf fan in her hand, and saw a flash of loneliness in Tan Yuan's eyes.

"Linlin, have I ever told you about my family?"

Family? Nian Lin didn't know Tan Yuan's family, and she had never asked about it. Even though she knew Zhao Yang was Tan Yuan's cousin, Tan Yuan had targeted Zhao Yang countless times, intentionally or unintentionally, but Nian Lin had never thought of asking her.

Anyway, if Tan Yuan doesn't want to talk about it or doesn't mention it on her own initiative, it must be because she doesn't want to talk about it or is unwilling to mention it.

Not all families are happy, Nian Lin feels this deeply, but now that Tan Yuan is willing to talk, Nian Lin also chooses to listen quietly.

After two lifetimes, which totaled several decades, Tan Yuan’s memory of what her parents looked like had long become extremely vague.

"I was only seven or eight at the time, but I remember they seemed very tall. My mother loved reading. We had a large study room, and my mother would always sit by the window reading while my father would take me on the swings in the yard..."

Then suddenly one day, her parents sent her to her uncle and aunt, and then her uncle and aunt and their family took her to live in her former home. The home was still the same home, and the swing was still the same swing, but the people were different. There was no father to push her high, but her uncle pushed her cousin instead, and her cousin's laughter echoed in the yard.

Later, my cousin seemed to have fallen off the swing, and the swing disappeared from then on...

Then everyone said that their parents were gone and sacrificed, and the only thing that seemed to prove their existence was the subsidies.

At first, the neighbors all sympathized with her. Liang Jin came to comfort her every day, and everyone felt sorry for her, but after a while, everything changed.

My uncle and aunt have changed, my cousins ​​have changed, Liang Jin has changed, my uncle and aunt Liang have changed, and all the neighbors have changed.

In her previous life, Tan Yuan didn't quite understand at first, but after experiencing more, she realized that everyone had changed. The Liang family began to think that she was useless and could not help the Liang family, and her uncle's family became greedy and wanted to take everything for themselves.

The neighbors felt sympathy for me and were envious of me because I had so many subsidies and a house.

She ended up with nothing, and I think everyone was happy to see that.

A faint sneer appeared on his lips: "Linlin, do you know why Zhao Yang hates me so much?"
