Chapter 755 The villain of the whitewashed text (2)
Zheng Yu is the eldest son. According to the traditional Chinese concept, he is the one who inherits the family business and provides for his parents in their old age.
Therefore, Carpenter Zheng taught him carpentry work since he was a child, passing on all the ancestral skills to him step by step.
Zheng Yu may not be smart enough, but he is honest, diligent, and follows his father in a down-to-earth manner, becoming the new "Carpenter Zheng."
When he was seventeen years old, according to his parents' wishes, he married a girl from the next village as his wife.
Both husband and wife are honest people, filial to their parents, taking care of their younger brothers, and future nieces and nephews.
The second son Zheng Qiao has a more lively temperament, and because he is the second eldest, there is only one year difference between him and his third brother.
He has been ignored by his parents since he was a child.
He does not look dull, but is extremely competitive.
The family didn't pay attention to him, so he followed the old hunter in the village and ran into the mountains every day. He became strong and strong, and he also learned hunting and some basic boxing and kicking skills.
When he was sixteen years old, there was a military recruitment in the town. He ran to sign up and was actually selected.
After leaving, he never came back. He married a nurse from a military hospital and had his own family.
He doesn't come back, but he sends money and things to his family every month.
At most, after you have a wife and children, the money and things you send will be reduced by two-thirds.
The third child, Zheng Geng, has been the "youngest son" for several years. Although he is not as valued by his parents as his eldest brother, he is more favored than the second brother, who is as transparent as a child.
His temperament is a bit arrogant.
However, before he could "enjoy" it for a few years, his younger brother was born.
Zheng Geng's treatment in the Zheng family cannot be said to have plummeted, but he is no longer his parents' favorite child.
Under the ups and downs, Zheng Geng's character changed somewhat.
He is more selfish than his two brothers, but has not yet reached the extreme level.
Knowing that there is a younger brother who is more favored in the family, Zheng Geng knows how to make plans for himself.
He cried and made noises and went to private school for two years. After the liberation of his hometown, he went to elementary school for another two years.
After learning how to read and see a little bit of the world, when he was thirteen years old, Zheng Geng found a way to go to the town and become an apprentice.
He recognized an old mechanic who had only one daughter as his master, and almost treated him like a biological father.
A few years later, the third child successfully married the only daughter of an old mechanic's family.
As both an apprentice and a son-in-law, Zheng Geng lived directly with his father-in-law.
It's not a knock on the door, but it's pretty much the same.
Zheng Geng secretly promised his father-in-law that his second son would follow his father-in-law's surname.
The father-in-law increasingly regarded his son-in-law and apprentice as one of his own, and taught him all the skills without reservation.
He also gave some of the connections he had accumulated over the years to Zheng Geng.
Zheng Geng was a rural boy who was poor and had nothing, but he quickly established a foothold in the town.
After settling down in the town, Zheng Geng rarely came back except for holidays.
The Zheng family has no shortage of sons, including a filial eldest son and a sweet-tongued youngest son. The two elders of the Zheng family really don't care much if the second and third eldest children don't come back.
Although each of the first three sons of the Zheng family is not perfect, they are all normal people.
And because they don't live together, there are no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sisters-in-law, and no feuding between brothers.
It just so happens that the Zheng family also has a fourth child, Zheng Du.
Carpenter Zheng and his wife were over forty years old when they gave birth to Zheng Du.
In an era when marriage was early and life expectancy was low, those who were already grandfathers at the age of forty had their ankles buried in the soil.
Zheng Du is definitely the oldest son of the Zheng family.
Moreover, when he was born, there was a drought, and the Wang family didn't have enough to eat and didn't even have milk.
Zheng Du only managed to survive by drinking rice soup.
He is still alive, but his body and bones are not in good shape.
Carpenter Zheng and Mrs. Wang felt distressed and guilty, feeling that it was their own incompetence that prevented them from giving their children a healthy body.
Therefore, the couple loved their youngest son Zheng Du very much.
He was not allowed to work, and he was not allowed to eat whole grains. The house was a bit meaty, so he was given everything to Zheng Du.
Zheng Du was indeed born with deficiencies and his body was at a loss.
However, the Zheng family carefully raised him for more than ten years and gradually raised him well.
However, Zheng Du was used to this kind of enjoyment of being pampered and given special care.
Even though he was well, he deliberately acted weak and sick all day long.
He didn't want to work in the fields, so he complained of headache, back pain, leg pain and various other pains.
I didn't want to eat whole grains, so I ate them deliberately and vomited, and I looked half-dead and dying.
He is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He has not even washed his own socks and has his meals brought to him by his sister-in-law or niece.
Not working all year round, Zheng Du was raised to be fat and fat. He did not look like a child in the countryside at all, but was more delicate than the educated youth in the village.
If it's just laziness, that's fine. Zheng Du is also extremely selfish.
He doesn't care about anyone but himself.
He coaxed his own mother with sweet words and kidnapped his brothers and sisters-in-law with affection.
Even his nieces are full of schemes.
Zheng Yu always remembered that he was the eldest brother, especially after his father passed away. He felt that "an elder brother is like a father."
The second and third sons were both promising, so Zheng Yu didn't need to take care of them, so he devoted all his "brotherly love" to Zheng Du.
If Zheng Du doesn't work and earn work points, then let him do it.
Zheng Yu worked himself and made money by doing carpentry work for others in his spare time. Most of the money was used to support his mother and younger brother.
His wife, children, and children followed him to work in the fields and eat bran-thick vegetables. The family of five were all old scalpers in the family.
Zheng Yu's wife Song Chunhong is a rural girl with little knowledge. Under the influence of the older generation, she only knows how to obey her husband when she marries.
Her husband wanted to be the eldest son of the family and a good big brother like his father. Although Song Chunhong felt aggrieved secretly, she did not dare to stop him.
But, you really can’t go too far with this kind of thing. If you push honest people into a hurry, it will be even more terrifying if they explode!
No, Zheng Duzuo finally touched Song Chunhong's reverse scale - the child!
"The child's father, our eldest daughter is only fifteen, and the fourth child even plots against her!"
"Who is Butcher Wang of Wangjia Village? An old widower who has lost two wives and is only five years younger than us!"
"The fourth child is urging our mother to marry Da Ya to Butcher Wang. What on earth is he going to do?"
"Yes, the gift given by Butcher Wang is high, a full one hundred yuan. But, but..."
"I went to Wangjia Village and asked about it. Of the two wives of Butcher Wang, one was beaten to death by him, and the other couldn't bear it and strangled herself to death with her belt!"
The more Song Chunhong talked, the more excited she became. She was indeed a bit patriarchal and usually let Daya do her work.
But no matter what, Da Ya is her biological daughter, a piece of flesh that fell from her body.
Her daughter would eventually get married, and Song Chunhong would also ask for a bride price, but she never thought of selling her daughter's life for a hundred yuan.
There is another sentence that Song Chunhong did not dare to say in front of Zheng Yu: "Even if the gift given by Butcher Wang is high, the money will not fall into our hands!"
The Zheng family has not been divided. Mrs. Wang is in charge of the family. If she sells it, oh no, if she marries Zheng Daya, Mrs. Wang will also hold the bride price.
And according to Mrs. Wang's preference for her younger son, the money will basically be cheaper for Zheng Du.
In fact, Zheng Duhui was "enthusiastic" in helping his niece and his daughter become matchmakers just for money.
Zheng Du fell in love with Xiao Jianying, a female educated youth who was a bit of an educated youth.
Xiao Jianying is pretty, a high school student, educated, and has a good temperament.
Zheng Du always went to pester him.
Xiao Jianying, however, looked down upon Zheng Du.
This guy looks good, but he is too lazy and unmotivated.
Xiao Jianying is very transparent and knows that Zheng Du looks good now. He has a wife and a brother to support him.
However, when Zheng Du gets married and has children, the Zheng family will definitely split up.
Once the family was divided, without his eldest brother or nephew to take care of him, Zheng Du would not even be able to eat.
Even if Xiao Jianying accepted her fate and wanted to find a family in the countryside, she would not find a loser like Zheng Du.
Isn’t it nice to be the son of the brigade captain’s family and the nephew of the brigade’s accountant?!
Xiao Jianying is very smart and looks down on Zheng Du, but he will not refuse directly.
She said to Zheng Du in embarrassment: "I have a younger brother who will also go to the countryside this year. My mother wants to find a job for him. She needs 200 yuan!"
There was no need to speak too clearly, as Zheng Du, a shrewd person, understood it.
If you want to marry Xiao Jianying, you have to come up with a bride price of 200 yuan at least.
Zheng Du has no money, but his wife, Mrs. Wang, does.
Zheng Yu’s family’s work points and extra income from carpentry work;
The allowance Zheng Qiao sends back every month;
Zheng Geng is more selfish than his brothers, but when he goes back to his hometown during the holidays, he will still give Mrs. Wang a few dollars.
If it weren't for the construction of a new house a few years ago and Carpenter Zheng's serious illness, the Zheng family's savings would have exceeded three digits.
Even so, Mrs. Wang still had more than three hundred yuan in her hand.
Mrs. Wang can afford the two hundred yuan gift.
However, marriage is not just about bride price.
Mrs. Wang felt that if Xiao Jianying asked for two hundred, she would definitely have other requirements when the formal talks about marriage begin.
Not to mention the third ring and the first ring, at least I need to buy some clothes for the bride, or buy some valuable wedding gifts.
There are also new houses, banquets, etc...
Mrs. Wang secretly calculated an account and found out that her younger son's marriage would cost at least three to five hundred yuan.
Even if I save more, I still have three hundred yuan.
Mrs. Wang lost her wife, so she was very tight on money.
There was no way she could spend all her money.
Zheng Du saw Mrs. Wang's embarrassed look on her face. She opened and shut her mouth and said, "No money, no money."
His mind worked very quickly, and he quickly came up with his crooked idea on his eldest brother's niece.
"Mom, Daya is getting older, it's time to give her a family!"
In rural areas, there are many examples of marrying off a daughter and getting a bride price for her son.
However, Zheng Du is not the son of the eldest brother, but just a younger brother.
It is really outrageous for an uncle to calculate the bride price of his niece.
Mrs. Wang is used to being partial, but she doesn't think there's anything wrong.
The entire family belongs to her, including her sons, grandchildren and grandchildren.
She is just marrying a granddaughter and a wife for her son. In the final analysis, it is for the sake of the old Zheng family.
Even if it means going to hell, she still has some sense.
Song Chunhong didn't think so.
She also has a son, her second son is also thirteen this year.
In two or three years, we have to say goodbye.
The eldest daughter's bride price was used to buy a wife for the second son.
How can I get a bargain from my brother-in-law?!
Of course, the most important thing is that the brother-in-law is not a good person. In order to get a higher betrothal gift, he actually told Da Ya to the notorious Butcher Wang!
"The child's father! You should say something!"
"...We Da Ya can't marry such a bastard."
Song Chunhong cried until her throat was dry. Her face was filled with tears and runny nose, and she looked very embarrassed.
He Tiantian:......
It was such a scene when I first put it on, it was really "exciting".
According to He Tiantian's character, she would definitely not let her biological daughter marry a scumbag.
However, the original character's character is that of a mama's boy and a devil who supports his younger brother.
You can’t destroy your character, dear!
He Tiantian held back her nausea and deliberately sighed, "But, mother said, Butcher Wang works in the town's slaughterhouse. With a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, he can still eat and drink every day!"
"If Da Ya marries him, she will definitely not be able to survive!"
"Mom also said that Butcher Wang has changed his mind and will no longer beat his wife. He married two wives in succession and spent hundreds of dollars. He, he feels bad for her!"
"Da Ya, my mother is right. Sooner or later, my daughter will marry a man, a man, a man, a man, clothes and food. The conditions of the Wang family are really good!"
"Mom also said that if it weren't for the death of his two wives, Butcher Wang wouldn't want a rural girl."
Butcher Wang has an urban household registration.
How much is an urban household registration worth these days?
Except for very few cases, other urban men marry rural girls, either because of family reasons or because their personal conditions are too poor.
After all, Butcher Wang is a healthy man, unlike some men who go to the countryside to marry wives who are either disabled, stupid, or have some unspeakable serious illness.
He Tiantian kept saying "My mother, my mother", which only made Song Chunhong, who was already furious, turn livid with anger.
Fortunately, Song Chunhong didn't come from time travel, otherwise, she would definitely label "Zheng Yu" as a top-notch mama's boy.
Oh, by the way, Zheng Yu is not only a mama's boy, he is also a brother-supporting demon.
After He Tiantian said a series of "My mother said it", the conversation changed and Zheng Du was brought out again——
"There is also my younger brother. He is already eighteen years old. It's hard to find someone he likes. Xiao Zhiqing is still from the city and he also likes my younger brother, but the betrothal gift is higher. We are the eldest brother and sister-in-law, so we have to fulfill them.
!”
"Damn it, our father died early. I am the eldest brother. If I fail to take good care of the fourth child, how can I still have the honor to see my father after I die?"
Song Chunhong's heart dropped when she heard her husband's words!
She knew, she knew she couldn't persuade a man.
However, when she watched her fourth child scheming against her own daughter and causing her son to be unable to marry a wife, Song Chunhong's anger that had just subsided could not help but boil again.
With a bang, Song Chunhong stood up, gritted her teeth and gave He Tiantian an ultimatum——
"Boss Zheng, let me tell you, if you promise your mother to sell Daya, I, I will take the child back to my parents' home!"
"We can't survive this day!"
"You, you, your mother, and your little brother, your family of three, come over!"
Song Chunhong has been a filial daughter-in-law for more than ten years and a "good wife and mother" for the rest of her life. Today she finally broke out.
After saying these cruel words, regardless of "Zheng Yu's" stunned look, she took her four children back to her parents' home.
Mrs. Wang had been hiding in the backyard and eavesdropping. When she saw Song Chunhong was leaving, she hurriedly chased her to the front yard.
Looking at the backs of the ladies, Mrs. Wang jumped up and shouted: "Let's go! Don't come back if you leave! Humph, you are a troublemaker, an unfilial thing..."
Zheng Du was hiding in his room. When he heard the noise outside, his eyes flickered——
