Chapter 1483: The Helmsman of the Wang Family and the Donkey of the Zhao Family
After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun and Xing San were speechless, but they didn't show anything on their faces. But Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang, the brother and sister, both curled their lips.
No matter how proud your father-in-law is of you, can you be better than his own children?
Seeing the micro-expressions of the siblings, Zhao Youcai instantly became anxious.
"What are you two doing?" Zhao Youcai stared at Wang Meilan with his eyes wide open, questioning her.
Just now Wang Meilan's mouth was turned to the right, but now it turned to the left. At the same time, she rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said, "Your father-in-law is very proud of you. He tells you everything, but you don't say anything! You won't say anything even if I ask you!"
"That's right." Wang Qiang echoed, "What a waste of time! Not saying what should be said in one day..."
Wang Qiang hadn't said half a sentence yet, which was nonsense that he shouldn't have said.
"Why isn't my father-in-law the most proud of me?" Zhao Youcai ignored Wang Qiang for the moment and stared at Wang Meilan, saying, "Before my father-in-law left, didn't he say that he was entrusting the family to me? Haven't I been kind enough to your family over the years? Was it me who sent the old man and the old lady away?"
When Zhao Youcai said this, Wang Meilan was silent. Not only was Wang Dabazhan gone, it was Zhao Youcai who arranged it. When her mother passed away, Wang Qiang was not very useful either. All the things that happened to the old lady were arranged by Zhao Youcai.
Wang Meilan couldn't say anything about these two things.
So when Zhao Youcai did trouble, Wang Meilan would scold him, but the scolding would be over.
Zhao Youcai has become good at talking recently. He scolded Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan last night. Today, he got the upper hand and said to Wang Meilan, "You are so confused every day. If you have one money, you spend two. If you have two, you want to spend three. If I were not here, wouldn't this family have gone bankrupt a long time ago?"
"I..." Wang Meilan was about to retort, but Zhao Youcai turned to Wang Qiang and asked, "What did you say about me just now?"
"I..." Wang Qiang just opened his mouth when he heard Zhao Youcai ask, "Who arranged your marriage?"
Wang Qiang shut up instantly, while Zhao Youcai continued, "You have two weddings, one with ten tables. I toast at each table, who am I giving the wine to?
I told everyone I saw that Qiangzi had established his own business, and that everyone looked to me for what they could and could not do. At that time, why didn't you tell me what I should and should not say? "
"Brother-in-law, look..." Wang Qiang said hurriedly, "I'm just joking with you two. Why are you so angry?"
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai said coldly, "You are a grown-up, but you still don't do things your way. You don't live a good life after marriage, but spend every day playing with money outside.
You don't take care of the land, and you don't take care of your children. Damn it, when I look at your father-in-law and your brother-in-law outside, I have to look up to them and say nice things to you. "
Wang Qiang's face turned red after hearing what Zhao Youcai said, but he couldn't refute it.
At this time, Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun again, and sized Zhao Jun up and down with his small eyes, making Zhao Jun feel nervous.
"Dad." Zhao Jun saw this and said hurriedly, "I am very filial."
"You're really nice." Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun and nodded, saying this.
Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this, and then he was moved.
Although Zhao Jun is very outstanding after his rebirth, Zhao Youcai's attitude towards him has never changed.
And that was the first time in Zhao Jun’s two lives that he received recognition from Zhao Youcai.
But then, Zhao Youcai added: "But it's only been okay in the past two years. Before that..."
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this. These two years were enough. Before, he was... not young, right?
"Nothing!" Zhao Youcai waved his hand and said these four words, which made Zhao Jun's face change.
No matter how ignorant I was in the past, I wouldn't have said such harsh words.
At this time, Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Your marriage and everything are settled. I have done my best as a father. From now on, I will not be responsible for this family or anything else."
"Hmm?" Zhao Jun frowned and asked hurriedly, "Dad, what are you going to do?"
"In the future..." Zhao Youcai continued, "I will just go for a stroll in the mountains, take the dogs out to hunt, etc..."
"Dad, if you don't care anymore, what are we going to do with this family?" Zhao Jun asked. Zhao Youcai waved his hand and said, "Do whatever you want. I don't care anymore."
At this point, Zhao Youcai paused for a moment, raised his finger and pointed at Wang Meilan, saying, "Let your mother take care of it. Isn't she happy to take care of it?"
Wang Meilan saw this and felt bad. She quickly said, "How can I control it? I've been so confused all day."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was startled, and then he heard Wang Meilan say, "I want to spend money when I have it. If I have one, I want to spend two. If I have two, I want to spend three. If you are not here and I am in charge of this family, won't it fail?"
"Hmm?" Zhao Youcai groaned, half drunk and a little confused, his brain couldn't react. He heard these familiar words and felt that they made sense.
Zhao Youcai looked at Wang Qiang, who waved his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, don't look at me. I can't do it either. I'm so old, but I'm still not established. You should hurry up. You still have to take care of this family!"
"This..." At this moment, Zhao Youcai was drunk and felt that he should push the responsibility of the housekeeper away, but when he thought about what to say, his brain stopped working.
Zhao Youcai looked to the side again and saw Xing San.
The old man, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, was stunned and shook his head quickly.
Zhao Youcai was not completely confused. He knew that it was wrong to hand the family over to Xing San. But the alcohol was taking its toll on him, and Zhao Youcai could only see Xing San. He said, "Brother, what do you think about letting me take charge of the family?"
Upon hearing this, Xing San looked up at Zhao Jun.
Seeing Zhao Jun waving his hands repeatedly behind Zhao Youcai, Xing San looked at Wang Meilan again and saw that Wang Meilan not only waved her hands, but also pointed at Zhao Youcai.
The old man sighed and said to Zhao Youcai, "Second brother, he is just a child, how can you let him be the head of the family?"
"He's fine." At this moment, he heard words of affirmation from Zhao Youcai again, but Zhao Jun didn't get angry and still waved to Xing San.
"Second brother, how old are you?" Xing San was not good at speaking, but he had to bite the bullet and deceive Zhao Youcai, saying: "You are only in your forties and you don't want to be the head of the family? You let your child be the head of the family? Wouldn't that make people laugh?"
Xing San patted Zhao Youcai on the shoulder and said, "It's like when we slaughter pigs to entertain guests. Can you still let your children go from house to house to arrange it?"
Zhao Youcai heard this and looked up at Xing Sanshi, his eyes squinting. The more he squinted, the clearer his eyes became.
All things are difficult at the beginning. The more Xing San tried to deceive people, the more comfortable he became. He continued to say to Zhao Youcai, "Second brother, after listening to what you said just now, I really admire you."
"Really?" Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up, and he saw Xing San nodding, saying, "Yeah, you are so kind! You sent your father-in-law and mother-in-law away, and you even helped your brother-in-law find a wife. Who can do this if it's an ordinary person?"
This is not false; Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang both agree with it.
"That's just me, I'm not the same as them!" Zhao Youcai didn't even turn his head, but gestured to the Wang siblings, saying: "Brother, you don't know! Their words are so irritating, sometimes one word can send you two miles away."
Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang glared at the back of Zhao Youcai's head at the same time, and Xing San smiled and said, "Then I know."
"Huh?" Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang looked at Xing San at the same time, only to see Xing San waving his hand and pointing at Zhao Youcai.
"Second brother, you are kind and righteous." Xing San praised Zhao Youcai and said, "If you ask me, this kid might just follow you in this regard."
Zhao Youcai, who was drunk, didn't hear the word "maybe" in Xing San's words, and just said, "Then... it's definitely up to me."
"So, second brother, you still have to take charge of this family." Xing San put his hand on Zhao Youcai's shoulder and said, "Look how well you are at taking charge of the family. You can't just give up halfway!"
"Then...then..." Zhao Youcai said hesitantly, "Then should I still be the boss?"
"Of course!" Xing San said confidently, and Wang Meilan also said to Zhao Youcai: "From now on, our account books and other things will be in your hands. You will be in charge of everything."
Zhao Youcai glanced back at Wang Meilan and said with disdain: "I am in charge of everything. What does this family have?"
"Our business is so big." Wang Meilan raised her hand, drew a circle in the room with her finger, and then pointed out the window and said, "Aunt Jiang's land has been given to us, and Kaichun'er's land will also be under your management."
"And my family's land." Wang Qiang said with a sly smile, "It all belongs to you, brother-in-law."
Zhao Youcai became more and more confused. He pointed at Wang Meilan and said, "Go get it for me!"
"What?" Wang Meilan asked. Zhao Youcai said, "The account book!"
"It's in that room. The child is sleeping there!" Wang Meilan said with a smile, "I'll get it for you tomorrow morning. Is that not okay?"
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Youcai said nothing more. Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan, and Wang Qiang smiled and secretly gave Xing San a thumbs up.
"Dad." Seeing Zhao Youcai getting more and more confused, Zhao Jun remembered something and asked him: "Dad, I want to ask you something."
"What's going on?" Zhao Jun asked. Zhao Jun said, "Old Xu Pao said that the tiger cub has Guan Gong in his head. What's going on?"
"Ah..." Zhao Youcai heard this and said, "It's just like that, in a chicken's head..."
The alcohol was taking effect, and Zhao Youcai couldn't say anything further. Zhao Jun quickly took over and said, "The Qin Hui in the chicken's head, won't let the tiger's head be chopped open, is there a Guan Gong inside?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Youcai nodded repeatedly. Zhao Jun asked again, "What's the use of eating that thing?"
"Oh!" Zhao Youcai waved his hands and said, "Your great-grandmother's ancestral recipe says that after eating that... that..."
At this time, Zhao Youcai couldn't do that anymore.
"What?" Wang Qiang asked. Zhao Youcai raised his head, frowned, and said, "It is said that children who eat it will become smarter."
"Hmm?" Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan, Wang Qiang and Xing San all became excited after hearing what Zhao Youcai said.
Wang Meilan was about to speak when she heard Zhao Youcai say, "It was said that the idiot had a clear mind after eating it."
"Then why don't you say it?" Wang Meilan couldn't help it anymore and was about to stand up, but was stopped by Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang.
Wang Meilan, who was being held back, still shouted at Zhao Youcai, "How many tiger cubs have you killed this year? If you don't tell me, wouldn't their heads be thrown away?"
Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang tightly grasped Wang Meilan's arms, while Zhao Youcai said nonchalantly, "That's all bullshit."
"How do you know you're talking nonsense?" Wang Meilan became even more angry when she saw him like this, and shouted, "Have you ever eaten it?"
"You've eaten it before." Zhao Youcai said this to Wang Meilan. After he finished speaking, he added, "You and your brother had eaten it before, and it tasted the same. Who is so smart?"
"I..." Wang Meilan almost choked, and Wang Qiang released his hand that was holding Wang Meilan's arm.
After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he leaned back and lay down on the pillow. Seeing him like this, Wang Meilan went downstairs to the east room to get the account book.
When Wang Meilan came back, she put the account book next to Zhao Youcai's pillow.
……
Zhao Youcai slept until he had no idea what time it was, and then he opened his eyes when he heard some noise outside the room.
He drank a lot yesterday and his throat felt a little uncomfortable today. Zhao Youcai coughed twice and woke up Zhao Jun, who was sleeping on the kang.
It was two minutes to half past four, and Xing San had been awake for quite some time. Zhao Jun turned on the lights to make it easier for the three of them to get dressed.
"What is this?" When the light came on, Zhao Youcai saw the account book next to the pillow.
"Our family's...economic power." Zhao Jun stopped talking halfway and temporarily changed the account book to economic power.
But Zhao Youcai, who had slept all night, had regained consciousness and said unhappily, "What's the use of this chicken-feather economic power?"
"You insisted on being the boss yesterday." Zhao Jun said so, but Zhao Youcai didn't believe it and asked, "Did I say that?"
"Ah!" Zhao Jun nodded, and Xing San beside him also nodded.
Zhao Youcai frowned, as if he vaguely remembered something.
The scene of himself "scolding" Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang, and saying that Zhao Jun was "nothing" flashed through his mind.
At this time, Zhao Youcai swallowed his saliva, pursed his lips, and thought to himself that this was not good!
Offended people!
I have offended all these people in my family. How can I tolerate this?
Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai could only pretend that he couldn't remember anything. He raised his hand and scratched his head and said, "Why don't I remember anything? I drank too much yesterday. I remember that I went to bed as soon as I got into bed."
"Really, Dad." Zhao Jun said, "You said you wanted to be the head of the family, but you were so impatient that you asked my mom to go to the east room to get the account book for you. But my mom said Xiaohong and Xiaona were sleeping, so that wouldn't work!"
"Really? Is that true?" Zhao Youcai questioned, but a scene flashed through his mind: he did ask Wang Meilan for the account book. But Zhao Youcai didn't know what happened afterwards.
"Then let me take it first." Zhao Youcai put the account book aside, then put on his cotton jacket and went to the field.
Although today is the Little New Year, he still has to feed the pigs.
When the three of them came out of the inner room, they saw Wang Meilan sitting at the side table picking hawthorn seeds.
We were supposed to string candied haws together yesterday, but we had guests over and Jin Xiaomei and the others were busy cooking, so we didn't proceed.
It was said that it would be done today, but I don’t know why Wang Meilan got up so early to pick hawthorn seeds.
Nowadays, there is no special tool for removing cores and seeds. To remove hawthorn seeds, you just use a small knife to cut horizontally on one side of the hawthorn.
After making a small cut, cut the whole hawthorn horizontally in two-thirds. Then use the knife to gently lift the two-thirds of the opening open, and then use the tip of the knife to pick out all five hawthorn seeds inside.
Finally, pinch the hawthorns to restore the opening and prevent oxidation. When all the hawthorns have been picked, string them together.
"Oh my god, why are you doing this so early?" Zhao Jun asked in confusion. Wang Meilan said, "I'll dip a few. Won't you go to your sister later? Give it to Zhou Tao."
If Zhao Jun had not been reborn, he would definitely not be able to understand Wang Meilan's behavior at his age.
We will slaughter a pig at home tomorrow, and my sister’s in-laws will all be coming. We can eat it then. Do we have to take it today?
But after being reborn, Zhao Jun realized that the thoughts of parents are the most difficult to understand.
Just like some elderly people will spend tens or even hundreds of dollars on express delivery fees to send things to their children that are worth less than the express delivery fees. Some elderly people will travel thousands of miles to visit their children in the city with local specialties. Other elderly people will get up early to make food for their children who are about to leave home. If the food is left behind, the elderly will feel upset for several days.
In fact, this is easy to understand, but parents cannot bear to see their children eat less.
