The food Mother Zhang and her husband ate came from her second son. Zhang Ermu risked his life going to the mountain just to give them enough food to eat. So, she didn't have any right to give out food to her eldest son.
After a long silence, Mother Zhang only let out a sigh and said, "Dazhi, it's hard for you. If you are busy, it's okay not to come to visit your Grandpa and Grandma."
Hearing his grandma's words, Zhang Dazhi was at a loss for words. He glanced at his father and saw him narrowing his eyes.
Fearing that he would be beaten if he failed to get some benefits, he said, "Grandma, even if I'm tired, I still have to come and visit you and Grandpa. It's just that Father and I couldn't find any food besides some wild vegetables in the mountains."
As soon as he said this, his second brother chimed in, "Grandma, can my siblings and I stay with you for a few days? It's been a long time since I slept with you."
