The atmosphere in Old Zhao's old house was getting more and more lively. To put it simply, it was a scene of children crying, wives yelling, fathers-in-law wanting to hit someone, mothers-in-law threatening to hang themselves, sons-in-law angrily confronting fathers-in-law, and sons complaining about their elderly mothers.

That's right, it's as lively and joyful as you can imagine.

With his hands behind his back, Zhao Da'e knew that this commotion was over, and the Zhao brothers would be completely estranged from their father, Zhao Tingxu. And his second aunt, who hadn't borrowed a single penny, would forever hold a grudge against the old man.

Regardless of whether the money in the Zhao family was saved by Zhao Da'e's parents from farming for six or seven years, even if the money originally belonged to Zhao Tingxu, in this day and age, lending out such a large sum of money as tens of thousands of yuan should at least warrant a family meeting.

Inform the children about the money and its details, so that everything can be explained clearly later. Losing such a large sum of money suddenly and without explanation, leaving the sons with priority inheritance rights without receiving anything, and without being able to build a new house, will naturally cause resentment.

If one person is upset, they will eventually speak out. If a group of people are upset, they will sigh and make a fuss.

While the argument raged on in the old house, Zhao Da'e sneaked off to the backyard to continue fetching water. There was no need to hire help for the next couple of days; it would be pointless anyway, everyone would be out in the front yard watching the spectacle. With such a commotion at the Zhao family's house, who would be in the mood for work? It was better to wait a few days before hiring anyone. As for the outcome of the argument, Zhao Da'e didn't care. Based on her understanding of Zhao Tingxu and Wang Guixiang from her previous life, the two would definitely insist that the money was gone, and as for where it went, it had been spent. Regardless of how it was spent, it was all gone, and they would just grit their teeth and insist it was gone; their three sons couldn't do anything to the old couple. In any case, the old couple would never sell their youngest daughter, so the money would have to be spent by themselves. As for saving this money to build a new house later, forget about it.

The outcome is bound to be this, so there's nothing for Zhao Da'e to look forward to.

This is exactly the result Zhao Da'e wanted.

The old couple pretended to be stupid and let their three sons know, thus losing the money that was supposed to be used to build a new house. As a result, everyone else built new houses, but no one could build a new house in the old house area.

Without a new house built in the old village, there's no hope for the future. Whether it's the hardworking Zhao Tiesheng and his wife, who work day and night, or the lazy Zhao Tiegang and his wife, who always shirk their responsibilities, how will they view their parents without a new house?

While they might not become enemies, it was certain that this family could no longer continue living together. Because no matter how hard you try, the end result is always the same: the money is gone, and Zhao Tiesheng will feel resentful.

Zhao Tiesheng was a man Zhao Da'e knew all too well. His father's thoughts were simple: he had a son to carry on the family line, to build a house and prove himself, and to live a simple life so no one would look down on him.

Although Zhao Tiesheng is very filial and has a bit of a mama's boy attitude, all of this is based on his dream: to one day live in a big house and be respected by the villagers.

That's all. I have a strong sense of being a commoner, but that's life, I guess.

Now, by shattering everyone's illusions and exposing the actual situation of this family to everyone ahead of time, they should be able to face reality.

Zhao Da'e clearly remembers that her father left the family with nothing because he separated the family late and insisted on doing so for many years. Zhao Da'e hated Zhao Tiesheng so much that she almost severed ties with him. She never wanted things to get that bad in her life.
