But Uncle Gong Jian really didn't expect that a sudden incident would cause his father to fall ill suddenly and leave them. What followed was that their mother was also too sad and died.
Their father left together.
That was simply an unexpected joy. For Uncle Gong Jian, he had encountered a great good thing. His parents left in such a hurry without leaving a word, and his stupid brother's family was even more heartbroken.
They had been immersed in sorrow, but they didn't know that at that time, Uncle Gong Jian had already started to make calculations in his heart.
Uncle Gong Jian naturally knew his brother's temper, so after he dealt with the funeral affairs as quickly as possible, he immediately proposed to separate the family. Before his brother had time to react, he took most of the family property as his own.
He only gave his younger brother two acres of thin farmland, and then drove the family out almost as if they were cleansed.
He knew that no matter what he did, his brother would never say in front of others that he, the eldest brother, was wrong. So he took it for granted that since his brother didn't care about these family properties, then let him do it for him.
Come and keep it.
Well, it was as he expected. Even if his family separation was so unfair, after the brother and his family were separated, there was no gossip in the village, and no one came to defend his brother.
What made Uncle Gong Jian even more happy was that after he took over most of the family property and kicked out his brothers and their family who had almost left home, what made Uncle Gong Jian even more happy was that he found his parents' small treasury. He never expected that his parents
There are so many private properties.
In those years, everyone in my family was happy every day. They spent money without hesitation. For the first time, Uncle Gong Jian felt that he was proud and proud. The money gave him great courage, and he was determined
He trained two scholars in the Lao Gong family.
Since then, his son's living standard has been rising in a straight line. Although Uncle Gong Jian is not very clear about scholars, he knows that cultivating a scholar requires a lot of effort and money.
So from the time his eldest son entered the private school, he would try his best to satisfy every request of his son. Even everything his son used would be better and more expensive than others.
Uncle Gong Jian was still full of confidence at that time. He felt that in his hands, the Gong family would change. They would no longer just be farmers digging in the soil, but would become officials. Of course, they would have two people.
Yes, that is of course a better thing.
But what Uncle Gong Jian has a problem with is that his eldest son is not doing very well in school. He is often criticized by his teachers in private school, and often after getting into trouble, they, the parents, have to be called to the private school to listen to those teachers.
rebuke.
But these were not big things in the eyes of Uncle Gong Jian. The real big thing happened later. Ever since his brother's eldest son, the boy named Gong Jian, entered the private school in the village, his son's nightmare began.
Already.
First, in the beginning, everyone started to boast about the child named Gong Jian in front of them. They said how smart, obedient and sensible he was. Gradually, many people would take out the two children.
Make comparisons.
As people compared themselves more and more, Gong Jian's status slowly rose, while his own son was belittled by everyone and turned into a scumbag.
Of course Uncle Gong Jian knew about this kind of thing. So he got even more serious and wanted to go to his brother's house to act arrogantly. He thought that although his son had suffered from his son, he could avenge his son and take advantage of this.
The anger was directed at the brother and his wife.
But no matter how much he bullied his brother's family, he could not make up for the loss in the eldest son's heart. Gradually, the eldest son no longer liked going to the private school in the village to study. He preferred to skip school and make mischief with a group of naughty people.
The bad boys went around the village to cause trouble and play.
The more the eldest son behaves like this, the people in the village and the teachers in the private school will look down on his eldest son even more.
Often when mentioning his eldest son, everyone would just shake their heads. On the contrary, it only highlights how outstanding Gong Jian's child is.
In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he forced his brother to use his connections to find his eldest son a job as a bookkeeper apprentice in the town. This was something his brother owed their family.
You know, if it weren't for his eldest son, who showed himself to be much better than his own son in every aspect, how could such a good reading seed in his family be buried like this?
I don’t know whether it was because he had resentment in his heart, or because he felt that his parents did not support him. In short, after his eldest son started working as an apprentice in the town’s accountant, he rarely came home. Later, there was no news at all.
This is also a scar in Uncle Gong Jian's heart. In his opinion, the eldest son was also a scholar and was destined to be a high official, but he was ruined in the hands of Gong Jian and his brother's family.
Therefore, he allowed his mother-in-law and other family members to plunder his brother's family at will. No matter how poor that family was, they could still find something valuable in their home and take it away directly. Because
These are all things they owe his family.
Later, when his younger son also wanted to attend a private school, he was also afraid of the same situation that would happen to his older son, so when he listened to his younger son's request to go to the town to attend a private school, he immediately agreed.
Since the family has money and can afford to pay for the younger son to go to a private school in the town, why not make the learning environment for the younger son better. My younger son has been smart since he was a child. In the eyes of Uncle Gong Jian,
Come on, it's a hundred times stronger than that kid Gong Jian.
But even if he thought so, Uncle Gong Jian did not dare to let his youngest son study in a private school with Gong Jian.
But now, Uncle Gong Jian feels a little regretful. He should not have sent his youngest son to a private school in the town.
He always thought that after sending his children to a private school, the teachers in the private school would discipline his children well. But he was still careless. After all, transportation in his village and town was inconvenient, and he rarely went to the town to visit.
My own little son.
Everything was heard from the younger son's mouth. This also led to the habit of the younger son coming back and saying exactly what he said. The couple has always known each other like this, so they don't blame their mother-in-law for knowing it.
I couldn’t stop believing the lies that my younger son told me, which were so high-sounding and full of loopholes. This led to today’s tragedy. (To be continued)
