Chapter 125 Zhao Baishi's Brain Circuit
Mrs. Zhao Bai thought for a moment and looked at Zhao Guocheng and said, "Second brother, your family is so rich, but your eldest brother is still working for others, working himself to death. I don't know how he is doing now? Can you ask someone about it? If possible, since you have money now, you can pay to redeem your eldest brother. It's only fifty taels. I'm sure your family has it."
As soon as Zhao Bai finished speaking, Zhao Guocheng laughed out of anger.
I've never seen a mother like this!
Now he finally understood why his wife said that the child must have been picked up by his mother and was definitely not his biological child.
If they were biological children, why would they be treated so differently?
"Mom, what are you thinking about? It's still daytime, not night. You shouldn't dream." Zhao Guocheng's face darkened after he said this, and he didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Bai.
"Don't go. If you dare to leave, I will break your legs. What's the matter? I'm your mother and I can't control you. I just asked you to take fifty taels of silver, but you refused. You are so stingy." After saying this, Zhao Bai pouted, looking very disdainful.
Look, the second brother is like this, so stingy!
"Mom, is this about the fifty taels of silver? You know better than me why Zhao Guoguang sold himself. What's the matter? He sold my daughter before, and after suffering the consequences, he still wanted me to pay money to redeem him. Am I mentally ill? Or are you forgetful?" Zhao Guocheng was obviously very rude in his words, and he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
But he had to hold it in. If he dared to hit Zhao Bai, the villagers would drown him with their spit.
In this dynasty, filial piety is above all else.
But for Zhao Guocheng, he had the obligation to support Zhao Baishi, so saving Zhao Guoguang was impossible.
If he dared to use money to redeem Zhao Guoguang, his wife would definitely divorce him with the children.
Everything he has now is due to the little girl's business acumen. Otherwise, how could he have the money and face he has now, and he probably wouldn't even have the guarantee of food and clothing.
"You are the forgetful one. That happened several years ago. How can you remember it for the rest of your life? After all, you are brothers. Do you really plan to never have any contact with each other again? Then do you still recognize me as your mother?" Zhao Bai said angrily. The second son has become too arrogant and won't listen to anything she says.
"I'm sorry, mother. Please don't make things difficult for me. I still have to work. You should go back quickly." After saying this, Zhao Guocheng wanted to leave.
But he was interrupted by Zhao Dagen.
"What are you two talking about? I saw you two whispering from a distance. Are you hiding something from me, or did something happen at home?" Zhao Dagen asked with a frown.
Zhao Bai was startled. Why did the old man come here?
"Oh my~~ Zhao Dagen, your wife is really amazing, but she is also really shameless. She asked your second son to take out fifty taels of silver to redeem your first son. We all know how Guoguang left. She can still say this now. She really doesn't treat the second son as her own son."
"Now I finally know why the Zhao family's wives dislike Zhao Baishi. That's it. She must be mentally ill."
"It's not that he's sick or anything. No one would do such a thing." Everyone was talking at once.
Only then did Zhao Dagen know the whole story. He knew what Zhao Bai was planning without Zhao Bai telling him anything.
He immediately looked at his wife as if she was an idiot.
This is the person he has slept with for decades. Maybe he has lost some nerves in his brain, otherwise how could he have such a wild imagination? He dreamed that maybe the elder brother would come home sooner, but how could he call him the second brother? !
Thinking back now, what the eldest brother did was like digging out the second brother's heart and liver. It's good enough that the second brother didn't pursue it. He even wanted the second brother to pay money to redeem the person. Is he crazy?
Zhao Dagen was speechless and could not utter a word.
For the first time, I doubted his vision. Did he misjudge Zhao Bai before? Should he divorce her? Otherwise, there would be unrest in his family, and the relationship with the second brother's family, which had finally been harmonious, would be strained again.
"Ms. Zhao Bai, you are dreaming. Why don't you go back quickly? You don't have to worry about the housework. Have you finished it?" Zhao Dagen asked with a frown and a very angry tone.
"Why should I be so fierce? I just want to ask." Seeing that Zhao Dagen was really about to get angry, Zhao Baishi got scared and hurried home.
Zhao Guocheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The women and old men behind him all walked away laughing, and as they left, I could hear them talking about how they had never seen a mother like this.
Zhao Dagen sighed and shook his head.
"Second brother, don't take it to heart. Just pretend that your mother never said that." After saying that, Zhao Dagen turned around and went back to work.
I want to ask if Zhao Dagen has ever thought about this?
No! He had thought about it, but he knew it was impossible.
If this happened to him, how could he possibly pay the money to redeem the person who sold his daughter?
It's impossible to say anything. His advantage is that his mind is still clear, but if he is gone one day, the second brother will probably suffer a lot. If he doesn't want to suffer, he may even break off the relationship.
Oh~what a sin!
He didn't know how the boss was doing outside, but as long as he had enough food, warm clothes and was alive, it was good enough. Zhao Dagen felt that he had no more requirements for the boss.
Being alive is the greatest luck. After all, he has not been able to get any news in the past two years, and he doesn't know which farm the boss is working on.
He also asked the third brother to help inquire, but they found nothing.
The third brother is now teaching in a private school in Wangjia Village. He receives a monthly salary and can make a living. He is not worried about the third brother, and he is even less worried about the second brother. He is worried that the eldest brother must not be having a good life.
What Zhao Dagen expected was indeed correct; Zhao Guoguang's life was not going well at all.
He was nearly tortured to death.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting. I'll get to work quickly and I won't be lazy." After Zhao Guoguang said that, he got up and walked forward quickly carrying a big stone on his back.
He didn't look like Zhao Guoguang at all. If Zhao Dagen was here, he would definitely not recognize the man in front of him as his son.
His cheeks were sunken, his hair was messy, and his clothes were tattered and so dirty that you couldn't tell their original color.
It's obvious that he's malnourished.
Zhao Guoguang now is completely different from before.
Zhao Guoguang's eyes became a little dazed as he walked. He had been in this damn place for half a year. During this period, he had thought about dying countless times, but failed. In the end, he ended up with an ending worse than death.
Zhao Guoguang no longer felt the hard days in Yuanwai Qian's mansion were hard. Compared with now, those were good days like a god.
He missed his family, his parents, his wife, his children, and everyone in the village.
Every day here is like a year. I can neither die nor live well. I can only suffer.
......
The next day,
Zhao Guocheng brought back two baskets of duck eggs when he returned from delivering the goods.
The villagers’ duck eggs have basically been collected.
