Sophie tilted her head, "Do you have such a good temper?"
Zhao Dong looked at her and said, "You have suffered so much injustice during this period because of my elder brother, and you have never complained to me."
"If I, Zhao Dong, don't even have this sense of responsibility, then I won't be worthy of everything you have done for me!"
Sophie's eyes sparkled, "Husband... I don't want to go back to Sister Xiaoman's place tonight!"
Zhao Dong knew it and asked: "Where to go?"
Sophie glared, "You're so annoying!"
Zhao Dong explained, "Forget it, I'll take you back later."
Seeing Sophie's confusion, she continued, "Have a good rest tonight. If you are not in good condition, how will you have the energy to go home tomorrow?"
"Also, I'm not too worried about eldest brother. After what happened at Dahua Factory, eldest brother's situation is not right. I have to talk to him when I get back later."
"The most important thing is, I don't want you to have too much pressure and burden before the wedding!"
"On the wedding day, I want to see the most beautiful bride!"
On the way back, Zhao Dong randomly played some music.
Sophie's mood changed and she hummed all the way.
Zhao Dong sent the person upstairs, and before entering the door, the two of them were intimate outside the door for a while.
...
Half an hour later, Zhao Dong returned home again.
Somewhat unexpectedly, my sister-in-law was waiting at the door.
Zhao Dong asked doubtfully, "Sister-in-law, why are you here? Are you the eldest brother?"
The sister-in-law said worriedly, "Your eldest brother is still on the rooftop, will something happen?"
Zhao Dong was confused, "Sister-in-law, you didn't complain about eldest brother after he came back today, right?"
The sister-in-law was worried, "How dare I?"
"You don't know, since he came back this time, I have been careful in everything I say and do, not daring to provoke him at all."
"But look at what he looks like now, as if he has lost his soul!"
"I spent the entire afternoon tinkering and painting there."
"I don't even change my clothes, and I don't talk much!"
"Mom just went up and tried to persuade me, but it was of no use."
Zhao Dong warned, "Sister-in-law, the big brother's experience this time has been a big blow. You did the right thing. Try not to irritate him."
"Don't worry, I'll go up and talk to him."
After appeasing his sister-in-law, Zhao Dong returned to the rooftop.
Seeing his elder brother staring at the easel in a daze, he handed over a cigarette and asked, "What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
The eldest brother came back to his senses, took the flue and said: "I always feel that there is something I am not satisfied with. It just so happens that you are back, help me take a look."
Zhao Dong didn't speak. He was silent for a moment and then slowly said, "Brother, when I was a child, I always felt that you were very capable and you were the best in my eyes."
"If it weren't for you, I, Zhao Dong, wouldn't be where I am today!"
"At that time, in order to support your family, you dropped out of school and went to work in a factory."
"I cried secretly all night, but you comforted me. You said that as long as a man straightens his spine, he can look like a man anywhere!"
"When I was in the army, the training was hard and tiring. I thought about giving up countless times, but it was my elder brother's words that kept motivating me."
"I, Zhao Dong, cannot be cowardly. If I do, I will embarrass the Zhao family and disappoint my eldest brother!"
"I know what happened to Dahua Factory this time has been a big blow to you, but I also believe that my eldest brother will definitely get back on his feet."
"Brother, you are not only the pillar of our Zhao family, you are also the pillar of my sister-in-law and Xiaoman. You cannot fail!"
The eldest brother was shocked at first, and then said in despair: "Brother is not that capable. You are enough for our Zhao family!"
Zhao Dong stared at his elder brother and asked, "Brother, do you want to hear the truth from me?"
