The matter of Li Zheng taking Xia Qiyue to collect the pension soon came to the ears of Mrs. An. When An Zihao returned home in the evening, the old couple called him over.
"Lao Wu, how can you be so selfish? How kind was your fourth brother to you when he was here? He always stood up for you in everything. Do you still remember the brats he bullied you for?
Was a hole punched in?"
Mrs. An changed her strategy and took the path of warmth. As soon as she saw An Zihao come in, she started to wipe her tears. Then she recalled An Zichen's childhood and helped An Zihao recall how kind his fourth brother was to him.
This is true. An Zichen and An Zihao have been close friends since childhood. They do everything together. The younger brother is bullied. As the older brother, An Zichen will fight tooth and nail.
An Zihao lowered his head, his eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes. After learning about the death of his fourth brother, he didn't sleep much. He had insomnia all night long, dreaming that his fourth brother died tragically on the battlefield and was covered in blood.
An Zichen was like this when he first left the army. He couldn't sleep all night long, and even when he fell asleep, he had nightmares again and again.
"Fifth brother, you can't be so heartless. Your fourth brother is dead, dead! Do you know? He only left two children in the world, and only two bloodlines left. You have to be ruthless and ignore him.
Don’t you care?”
Mrs. An saw that she had a way, and continued to brainwash her: "Think about it, your fourth sister-in-law is still so young. Do you believe that she will not remarry in the future? How will the two children get along with each other? Stepfather, will you?
Will she abuse the children? And Ling'er, she was originally a prostitute. Xia Qiyue still holds Ling'er's selling contract in her hand. Strictly speaking, she is a slave. If Xia Qiyue remarries, Ling'er's life will be easier.
?"
Leader Lao An didn't say a word, and sat on the kang with a gloomy look on his face.
What the old woman said was not entirely about brainwashing Lao Wu. This kind of thing could really happen. After all, the children were the children of his father's family and could not change their surnames after outsiders.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face became even more livid. He also hated the fifth child for being ignorant and looking down on the fourth wife.
That's right, Boss Lao An thinks that the fifth daughter-in-law doesn't want the fourth daughter-in-law because she doesn't look down on her because she is not a young lady. There is no other reason.
"Lao Wu, please listen to your mother on this matter. The fourth daughter-in-law is not bad looking and she is not too old. She has time to have a few more children. Although she has been married to your fourth brother, she is still worthy of you.
, and the two children you gave birth to are also from our Lao An family, why don't you want to?"
If you want to say that Mrs. Lao An is brainwashing, then Boss Lao An will be more direct. He will tell you clearly that your fourth sister-in-law is also from our Lao An family. Although she is no longer a yellow flower girl, she is still a child of the Lao An family.
, don’t be too disgusted with it.
When An Zihao heard what his mother said, he kept his head down in discomfort. Mrs. An felt that she was about to persuade her son. Unexpectedly, as soon as Mr. An said these words, An Zihao raised his head and looked at him with scarlet eyes.
His father asked him word for word
"Dad, do you know where the fourth brother's tomb is?"
Leader Lao An was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "The tomb of the fourth child has been erected?"
An Zihao twitched his lips coldly, "As a father, you don't feel bad when your son dies, but even after the new funeral, you think about how to give your dead son's wife to your other son as a wife. Is this normal? What do you think?
Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking!”
After saying that, he looked at the old couple with sharp eyes and glanced around. The old couple felt guilty, and then said, "Don't worry! I will take care of my fourth sister-in-law and the children. You don't need to remind me how good my fourth brother is to me! I don't care."
Remember! Also, I have already agreed on a marriage. The other party is the adopted daughter of the Murakami Wang family. The betrothal gift is ten taels of silver. There is no wedding banquet. As long as the betrothal gift is delivered, she will go home with me and live! I don’t need you to bother making arrangements for me.
What, you don’t need to pay for the betrothal gift. From now on, I will give you two old-age pensions on time, and for the rest, don’t expect me to contribute a penny more!”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to go out, but he got a bump on the back of the head from Mrs. An. "You heartless one, you are so cruel, you don't care about us? You are asked to marry your fourth sister-in-law, but you are going to go to that heartless district."
An orphan girl without a father and mother, now... now you don't even care about your nephews, is the orphan girl from the Wang family without a father and mother worth ten taels of silver? Bah! I don't agree! I don't agree with her stepping into our old An's house.
Half a step!”
An Zihao endured the burning pain on the back of his head, turned around slowly, and said clearly every word, "Mom, if you don't agree, I'll separate and live alone!"
"Lao Wu, it's a big matter of marriage. Parents order a matchmaker! An orphan girl without a father or mother, no tutor, and her father doesn't allow her to enter the house!"
Old Man An sighed and spoke, which indirectly agreed that he would not marry Xia Qiyue.
Boss Lao An compromised, but Mrs. Lao An didn't. She slapped her thighs and started howling, "I gave birth to you and raised you. Now you have some skills. Now that you can make money, you don't want to care about me, an old woman. You..."
You are heartless. Forget it if I die. I am despised by my son. I have no shame in living..."
The cry spread for several miles, attracting everyone who was listening in the yard.
Liu Mei was the first to run forward, patting her on the back and saying "Mom, don't cry. The fifth child is still young and not sensible. If we say a few words, he will understand. You cry and do it to your body again."
It would be terrible if it collapses!"
But An Zicheng came close to An Zihao and whispered, "Lao Wu, the fourth brother and sister are so beautiful. Aren't they prettier than that daughter of the Wang family? Why do you look down on her? Why don't you just marry her?"
An Zihao was furious, so he turned his fist around and knocked An Zicheng to the ground.
Liu Mei no longer cared about comforting Mrs. An, and immediately turned around and ran over to support her man.
"Lao Wu, he is your eldest brother, how could you hit him like this? Do you know that an elder brother is like a father?"
"Bastard!" An Zihao spat out two words coldly.
"Lao Wu, how dare you hit me? You'll remember it if I don't clean it up!" An Zicheng was helped by Liu Mei to stand up, and he rushed forward with his fist raised.
"Boss..." Mrs. An quickly shouted.
"Let Mrs. An beat me!" Boss Lao An stopped Mrs. Lao An, obviously wanting him to teach the traitor Lao Wu a lesson.
An Zihang was the best at observing people's actions. Seeing that his father wanted to teach Lao Wu a lesson, he pulled his wife and son back and watched them not moving.
The third child, An Zikang, is always good at showing off. He can't beat his eldest brother, and he can't beat his fifth brother even more. He doesn't care about his wife and son, so he should stay away first.
When the two sons of the eldest family saw that their father was going to beat their uncle, their faces showed a look of pride. They deserved to be beaten. How come he didn't even bring them good things and always taught them that this is wrong and that is wrong?
Yes, who does he think he is? Their father doesn’t even talk about him. If he dares to make a fool of himself, he will be beaten, right?
