I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Chapter 131: I have accumulated enough disappointment, and nothing else matters

I thought that no matter how biased the old lady was, she should at least say something fair now, right? After all, it was she who personally facilitated the marriage exchange.

Unexpectedly, Old Lady Zhao hesitated and said, "This... What Youfu said is not without reason. You don't know how difficult Tao Jie'er's life has been these days. She has the troubles of her grandmother-in-law above her, and several cousins ​​below her, who are trying to make things difficult for her. A few days ago, she even got the baby in her belly aborted. She was so angry that she said a few harsh words to scold Shen Wenren. As a result, Shen Wenren left the room in anger and separated from her. Because of this, her grandmother-in-law also has a problem with her. What do you think..."

"Could this be my Li'er's fault? Even if there hadn't been a marriage exchange, my Li'er wouldn't have been able to live like this in the Shen family!" Zhou interrupted indignantly.

"Yes, I know our Li'er is good," Old Lady Zhao looked at Zhao Li, her face was rosy, her eyes were bright, and her figure was slightly fatter than when she was at her mother's house. The clothes she wore were all newly made of cotton cloth, without even a patch on them. How many people in their Zhaojia Village could find whose clothes didn't have patches? This showed what a good life she had in the Ye family!

"Sister Li, you and Sister Tao grew up together after all. Can you bear to see her being tortured to a pulp by the Shen family?" Old Mrs. Zhao knew that Zhao Li was soft-hearted, so she said that on purpose for her to hear.

Zhao Li knew her life story, so she could understand the partiality of Mrs. Zhao. However, Mrs. Zhao didn't know that Zhao Li knew her life story! Zhao Li always respected her as her own grandmother!

Zhao Li said aggrievedly: "Grandma, what you mean is that it's okay for me to suffer? You helped my cousin and I to change our marriage, isn't it because you think Shen Wenren is better than my husband?"

The old lady choked.

Li finally realized that the whole family of the first wife was united, and they really intended not to give them a penny! It was useless for the mother to say anything!

"Can you compare with my Tao Jie'er? Who are you? What is my Tao Jie'er's identity? Why do you compare with her? You are just your father..."

"Shut up!"

Before Li could finish her words, she was interrupted loudly by Zhao Youliang. Zhao Youliang glared at Li fiercely, and the look in his eyes made Li tremble in her heart.

If Zhao Youliang was not at home today, Zhao Li's life story would have been revealed by Li and known to the whole village.

Zhao Youliang turned around and asked Old Lady Zhao, "Mom, you didn't come here to see me, did you? Are you here to help my second brother get some money?"

Old Mrs. Zhao was startled and retorted, "What are you talking about? Of course I came to see you!"

Zhao Youliang's expression eased a little, and he nodded, "In that case, mother, you can go back after you have read it."

"What?"

Old Mrs. Zhao was confused. Let her go back just like that?

Zhao Youfu has been saying bad things about Zhao Youliang's family at home these days, saying that his eldest brother is an official and has money in his hands but he doesn't know how to respect his mother, and that the Ye family is so rich, but Zhao Li has never come to see them once...

The eldest wife didn't come to see her even though she had money. Could she still count on them to provide for her in her old age? It would be better to do as her youngest son said, asking the eldest wife for money, giving the money to the youngest son, and letting the youngest son provide for her in her old age? Zhao Youfu was filial, so it was right to let him provide for her in her old age.

Old Mrs. Zhao looked sad. "My son, you are so confident now that you are an official, but you never thought of giving me a penny. You don't even care about me as your mother!"

Oh! Sure enough, after all, they came to ask him for money. Zhao Youliang felt a chill in his heart.

"Ms. Zhou, didn't you send the monthly filial piety money to mother?"

Zhou was surprised: "Yes, mother, I sent you money every month. Every time I went there, I was scolded and ridiculed by my second brother and his wife. How can you forget this?"

"You don't remember, sister-in-law? Didn't you go to Liushu Village in person to ask for money for our mother?"

Old Mrs. Zhao: “…”

Li: “…”

"No..." Li stepped forward and said anxiously, "You have a lot of money in your hands, and you are considering building a brick and tile house. You only give me a few dozen coins every month, and you are treating me like a beggar!"

Zhou asked in confusion: "Didn't you agree to this when we wrote the deed to divide the family? Besides, who would give fifty cents to a beggar? Your sister-in-law's family is really rich!"

"How can this be the same?..." Li kept making a lot of crooked arguments, and Old Lady Zhao was obviously on Li's side.

It seems that he has to give the money today! Tears welled up in Zhao Youliang's eyes. He knew that his mother was partial to him. He had always known it. So what was he expecting?

"You can have silver, but let's calculate how much I should give to my mother. I'll give you double the amount at once. I was born by you, so I should repay you. As for using my money to support their family, don't even think about it!"

"Mom, take this silver and don't come here again. Our relationship as mother and son has ended today."

After hearing what Zhao Youliang said, everyone present was shocked. What did he mean?

Old Mrs. Zhao seemed to not recognize Zhao Youliang and spoke in a stammering voice: "Youliang, what do you want to do..."

Zhao Youliang no longer cared about it. He had accumulated enough disappointment and nothing mattered to him anymore.

He had survived a near-death experience on the battlefield, and finally came home. Even if his mother didn't come to see him on purpose, she could have lied to him, but she was just asking for money to help her youngest son. Ha! Why should he give them money? She even asked for hundreds of taels of silver. Did she really think that the silver was blown by the wind? He earned it by killing people!

Zhao Youliang tried hard to hold back his tears, "Qian'er, Gong'er, go and ask the clan leaders and elders to come over. I want to sever my ties with them!"

"You want to break off the engagement with me?" The old lady staggered and almost fell down when she heard that.

Zhao Youfu quickly stepped forward to support his mother, staring at Zhao Youliang with surprise and anger, accusing him: "Brother, your life was given by mother, how could you say such treasonous words to her?"

"You also know that I'm just your eldest brother?" Zhao Youliang glanced at him and snorted coldly, "We have separated. How dare you ask me for money to support your family?"

"You...I..." Zhao Youfu was choked and speechless. After all, it was he who came up with the idea of ​​swapping Zhao Tao and Zhao Li for marriage. What could he do even if he was unwilling to accept the current situation?

But it is impossible to sever ties with Zhao Youliang! Zhao Youliang is a military commander after all, as long as they are still a family, they will benefit from it sooner or later!

"Brother, we are blood relatives. If you really don't want to take the money, or can't afford that much, just say it directly. Why make such a fuss?"

Zhao Youliang was almost laughing at his anger. So it was his fault? Zhao Youliang turned around and looked at Zhou. "I'm sorry for wronging you. If they dare to cause trouble again, just report it to the police."

Zhao Youliang did not deliberately lower his voice, just to let Zhao Youfu and others hear him.

Zhao Youfu and Li's faces turned pale when they heard this. If they had known this would happen, they would not have come today. So, why did Zhao Youliang come back suddenly?
