My mother is like a nuclear weapon. You can not use it, but you can't live without it.
Zhao Wei always uses my mother's reputation to show off his power, so why can't he do the same?
"I'm living well here with me, why should I go with you?" Zhao Wei said angrily.
"I'm also a son. Why can't I take care of my mother?" Zhao Zheng said coldly, "Do you want to monopolize my mother? Do you want me to be an unfilial son?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wei was also a little confused.
The old lady's eyes softened as she looked at Zhao Zheng. "Third brother, I know you've been filial since you were young. I'm doing well with your eldest brother."
"That won't work. We're both sons, and I have to support you, too." Zhao Zheng said, "Mom, come with me. As long as I have something to eat, I won't let you go hungry!"
As he was talking, a voice came from outside, "Why are you arguing again?"
Soon after, Zhao Yi, the fourth son of the Zhao family, came over with his family. He first greeted the old lady, then greeted Zhao Wei, and finally looked at Zhao Zheng unhappily, "Hey, third brother, what are you yelling about at home so early in the morning? You're the only one with a loud voice, right?"
"Fourth brother, you don't know, the third brother wanted money and was disrespectful to your sister-in-law, and even said he would chop me alive." Zhao Wei said like a parrot.
"Hey, Third Brother, you've become quite capable." Zhao Yi sneered, "Axes are for chopping wood, not for chopping brothers."
Everyone in the family sneered.
How could they not know what kind of person Zhao Zheng is?
"An axe is good for chopping wood, but it can also chop down ungrateful people." Zhao Zheng took the axe in his hand and said calmly, "It's just right that you're here. Today, the three of us brothers will sort things out in front of this old lady."
Zhao Yi, "What are you talking about?"
"I came here today for one thing."
Zhao Zhengdao said, "That means asking Big Brother to return my son's pension to me, and then I will take Mom to live with me!"
"I'll accept any amount of money spent on supporting my mother, but I can't let my eldest brother use my money to support her. If it gets out, people will say I, Zhao Zheng, am unfilial. Even if I have eight mouths, I won't be able to explain it!"
Zhao Yi's family was stunned.
Is this third brother stupid?
My eldest brother used the money to marry a wife and all the money is gone. What can he give me?
And the boss also gave some of the money to their family.
Zhao Wei's face darkened: "I finally understand. You want to split up the family, right?"
Zhao Zheng nodded heavily, "If you say so, it's not wrong!"
"It's impossible to ask for money. Just give up on this idea."
If Zhao Zheng hadn't been holding an axe, Zhao Wei would have taken action long ago.
"It's okay not to give money. The family property still needs to be divided. The pension can be used as money to support my mother. However, you have to write down how many years of support it will be. I will pay that much, and you and the fourth brother must also pay that much. This money must be placed in my hands." Zhao Zhengdao.
Zhao Yi was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Where am I going to get ten taels of silver? Stop talking nonsense."
Zhao Wei's face also looked very unhappy. "Third brother, we are brothers, why do you have to be so unpleasant?"
"When you swindled me out of my pension, why didn't you consider that I was your brother?"
"When you beat me until my scalp was bleeding, why didn't you think that I was your brother?"
"When the Wang family came to blackmail me, why didn't you think that I was your brother?"
"You're telling me this now? Do you really think I'm a pig?"
Zhao Wei said with a stern face, "Third brother, you have to think carefully about what you will do when you are old. Who will take care of you in your old age?"
"We agreed before that Dabao and Xiaobao would take care of you in your old age..."
"Yes, third brother, Dabao and Xiaobao are also old enough to get married. It would be a good opportunity for your Zhaodi and Xiao'e to marry their brothers. This will strengthen the relationship between them. They will definitely not ignore you in the future." The old lady said biasedly.
"No wonder you called me here." Zhao Zheng sneered. "You cheated me out of my pension, ate my son's bloody money, and now you want to take my daughter-in-law away with empty words? Are you human?"
"Third brother, don't you understand that good things should be kept within the family?"
Zhao Dabao also hurriedly said: "Uncle San, when I marry my sister-in-law, I will definitely provide for you in your old age."
"Don't say anything. I'm going to call the village elders over. Either return my money today or let me go with you. If anyone dares to stop me from being a filial son, I'll chop him up."
Having said that, Zhao Zheng left the Zhao family angrily.
Brothers Zhao Wei and Zhao Yi looked at each other in surprise.
The old lady also had a grim expression on her face. "Do you really have to make a big deal out of this and make a fool of yourself?"
"Dabao, go stop your Third Uncle!"
"Grandma, my third uncle has an axe. What if he gets stupid enough to chop me?" Zhao Dabao said angrily.
"Let him go and call the village elders. I'm afraid of him calling them." Zhao Wei's face was gloomy. "I think after the family splits up, no one will help him. How will he live?"
This time, Zhao Zheng came to the Xu family and explained his purpose. He gave Xu Youde a pound of corn and said, "Uncle, my rice jar is almost empty. Please bear with me."
Xu Youde was not angry when he saw that it was half less than last time. Including the two kilograms of rice he had given before, Zhao Zheng had already paid out three kilograms of rice, and he gave one kilogram each to Lao Wang and Lao Wu, which made five kilograms of rice.
It's definitely going to empty the food reserves at home.
"Look at what you said. If I don't help you, who else can I help?" Xu Youde threw the food to his wife and didn't call Xu Dashan this time. "Let's go."
A pound of corn is not worth Xu Dashan's effort.
Zhao Zheng went to find two other village elders and gave them half a pound of corn.
He repeated what he had said to Xu Youde, and both old men nodded.
After all this, many people knew that the Zhao family was going to split up, and they all gathered together to watch the fun.
Seeing Zhao Zheng calling the three village elders over, Zhao Wei's face became even uglier.
But he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of the village elders, so he just brought stools and poured tea.
The villagers gathered at the gate to watch the fun.
Xu Youde took a sip of tea and sat at the top, looking very dignified. "Old sister-in-law, why did your third son invite the three of us here? You should know why. Your son is willing to invite you over to support him. My brothers and I are very envious."
The old lady shook her head and said, "He can't even support himself, how can he support me?"
Mocking her son's incompetence in front of everyone shows how much she despises Zhao Zheng.
Everyone else laughed when they heard this.
Zhao Wei sneered, "That's what I said too. He's even taking advantage of me. Uncle Youde, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Zhao Yi also said, "My third brother's son died. He's so sad. Why is he picking on us two brothers? They died in battle, not us two brothers who killed them. Why are you tormenting us?"
Xu Youde glanced at Zhao Zheng and said, "You can't say that. Supporting my mother is a matter of course. You don't want to divide the family, and you don't want him to support her. Aren't you forcing him to be an unfilial son?"
