Chapter 25: The Strange Attitude of Parents
As the eldest brother, he was born tall and big, but he didn't do his job properly since he was a child, he was lazy and lazy, and he always loved to steal and play tricks.
I thought that after starting a family, there would be some changes, but I didn't expect it to get worse, and I actually got into a gambling habit, and my sister-in-law was arrested, which is simply not a thing.
Zhou Yan glanced at his eldest brother Zhou Yun angrily, didn't bother to pay attention to him for the time being, and put all the things he bought on the table.
To tell the truth, if it weren't for Zhou Yun being his eldest brother, such a person, Zhou Yan would grab him now and throw him outside, out of sight.
Father Zhou loves Zhou Yan the most, that is, when he is sick and his brain is not clear, the only chicken leg in his hand only thinks of Zhou Yan.
After seeing Zhou Yan come back, Zhou's father held back his anger and put down the wooden stool.
"Father, mother, Xiaole, you haven't eaten yet, come, I bought you a delicious meal. ”
Zhou Yan ignored his eldest brother Zhou Yun for the time being, and put the chicken thighs, sauced pig's trotters, spicy perfumed fish, pastries, and fruits on the table one by one.
But now, even if the delicacies of the mountains and seas are in front of them, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother may not be able to eat it.
It's the little sister Zhou Le, after seeing her favorite chicken legs, she swallowed her saliva cutely, but now in this situation, obviously she is embarrassed to eat it, so she can only endure it first.
"Second brother.... Why don't you ignore Big Brother. You should have heard clearly at the door just now, you should think of a way to help your eldest brother. ”
Seeing that Zhou Yan ignored him, Zhou Yun was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"Brute, you kneel for me. ”
Because Zhou Yan came back, although Zhou's father didn't hit Zhou Yun again, he kicked him to his knees.
Knowing that he was at a loss, Zhou Yun didn't dare to say anything, and immediately knelt in front of Zhou's father, but his eyes looked straight at Zhou Yan.
He knew that today's matter could only be solved with the help of his second brother Zhou Yan.
"Father, this is the medicinal wine I bought for you to invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, you can take a sip first. ”
Zhou Yan poured a glass of wine for his father and sent it to his father.
After Zhou's father took the wine, he drank it all, but his anger was still unsettled.
"Mother's ....."
Seeing that Zhou Yan still ignored him, Zhou Yun couldn't help but cast a look for help to Zhou's mother, who usually doted on him the most.
"Don't look at me. You caused the matter yourself, and my mother can't help it. ”
Mother Zhou is angry and anxious now, she didn't expect her eldest son to become this kind of person.
"Small.... Younger sister. ”
Zhou's mother ignored him, and Zhou Yun could only look at his little sister Zhou Le for help.
"Hmph, you deserve it. ”
As a result, the little sister Zhou Le ignored him and gave Zhou Yun a big white eye.
"Okay, well, since you don't care if I live or die. It's a big deal that I'll take a knife back now and find those wicked people desperately, even if I fight for this little life, I will save my daughter-in-law. ”
Zhou Yun roared in annoyance and got up to leave.
After all, it was a piece of meat that fell from the body, and even if Zhou's mother hated her eldest son for not being successful, she couldn't really ignore him, and she was about to make a noise in a hurry.
But Zhou Yan threw a stop at his mother, and then said, "Come, I'll give you five copper coins to buy a knife." If you really dare to save your sister-in-law single-handedly, second brother, I think you are a real man today. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Yan took out five copper coins and threw them into Zhou Yun's hand.
"II..... Second brother, you ..... Do you have such a brother as you? Mother, you see, the second brother wants to let his eldest brother go to death. ”
Zhou Yun, who was pretending, was defeated by Zhou Yan's army, and his face suddenly collapsed, and he was embarrassed, and he still had the face to complain to Zhou's mother.
"Useless brute. ”
Seeing Zhou Yun's virtue, Zhou's father was so angry that he smashed the wine bowl on the ground, which frightened Zhou Yun.
"What, you don't dare to save your sister-in-law?"
Zhou Yan asked rhetorically.
"II..... Second brother, you.... Are you really so ruthless? We are both the sons of our parents, and I am your eldest brother!"
Zhou Yun howled bitterly.
"Do you now know that it is the son of your parents, and that it is my eldest brother?"
Zhou Yan was angry and said: "Then let me ask you, since last year, I have given you half a tael of silver every month for you to take home to honor your parents, have you sent a piece of money to your father's mother?"
"When the family suffered a once-in-a-century flood, and your parents and little sister had no support, when they went to look for you, where were you?"
"My sister-in-law is pregnant, you still have to gamble, and even borrow money to cause her to suffer, you are simply a son of man and a husband in vain. ”
"Second brother, the eldest brother knows that he is wrong, but the eldest brother is really cornered, do you want to die and not save him?"
"Big brother kneels down for you to admit your mistakes, you pull the big brother, the big brother swears that he will never gamble again in the future, and he must be a good man. ”
Knowing that Zhou Yan was really angry, Zhou Yun was so excited that he really wanted to kneel down at him and admit his mistake.
Zhou Yan hurriedly pushed Zhou Yun and stopped him.
No matter how annoyed and hateful Zhou Yan is, it is impossible for his eldest brother to kneel to him
"Yan'er..... Your big brother is really not a thing. But your sister-in-law has the flesh and blood of our Zhou family, if you have a way, save your sister-in-law. ”
Mother Zhou finally couldn't help but say to Zhou Yan.
"Mother, this is enough ten taels of gold, so much money, where do you let me go to find it?"
Zhou Yan said deliberately.
In order for this unscrupulous big brother Zhou Yun to truly repent of his mistakes, Zhou Yan must pretend to be a profound lesson for him, so that he can take this as a warning in the future.
"Second brother..... My sister-in-law is innocent, and our unborn nephew, otherwise, you will help my eldest brother this time. ”
The younger sister Zhou Le also interceded for the eldest brother Zhou Yun and said.
"Help help, how can you help? Yan'er can't come up with the money, should he let him kill people and set fires, steal and rob?"
Father Zhou was angry, and taught Zhou Yun, who was crying, a lesson: "You, an uncompetitive brute, have no responsibility. I should have strangled you when you were born. ”
"Father, son knows wrong. As long as the second brother is willing to save his sister-in-law, I will admit that you strangled your son. ”
Zhou Yun cried.
"Yan'er, is there really no way?" Zhou's mother and little sister Zhou Lequan pointed to Zhou Yanneng to have an idea.
"Don't be embarrassed. This indisputable beast is purely self-inflicted. ”
Father Zhou slashed his eyes at Zhou Yun, and then said, "Do you know where those wicked people locked up my daughter-in-law?"
"In a courtyard in the small town area. ”
Zhou Yun said timidly.
Zhou Yan was stunned, he didn't expect his father to ask his eldest brother Zhou Yun where his sister-in-law was imprisoned.
Moreover, when his father said this, his eyes flashed with a sharp look that Zhou Yan had never seen.
Such sharp eyes should never be possessed by an ordinary farmer.
His father gave Zhou Yan more and more a feeling of incomprehension, especially the crazy words he said when he was sick, and he said Emperor Yan, Emperor Wu, Emperor Dao and Emperor Buddha.
"Heaven is forgivable, but self-inflicted sins cannot live. Your second brother can't control this. Get out of here. Dead or alive, resigned to fate. ”
Father Zhou waved at Zhou Yun and said.
After hearing his father's words, Zhou Yun was dumbfounded, but the abnormal thing is that Zhou's mother didn't object anymore, only the little sister Zhou Le didn't know why.
Seeing such a scene, Zhou Yan felt that the behavior of his parents was very strange.
"Mother, second brother....."
The eldest brother Zhou Yun was still looking at Zhou's mother and Zhou Le bitterly.
"If you don't understand me, get out of here!"
Father Zhou roared angrily.
At this time, Zhou's mother was also unusually extremely calm, but she didn't make a sound again.
Wrong.
The more his parents are like this, the more Zhou Yan feels weird, especially his mother's reaction, it shouldn't be like this.
Zhou Yan's heart jumped.
Xiaomei once said that it is a fact that her father punched the evil Jiao.
Is the father planning to save his sister-in-law by himself?
After thinking of such a bold guess, at this moment, Zhou Yan was really startled in his heart.
However, this is only a strong speculation after all.
Zhou Yan was afraid that if he thought too much, if he didn't care, his eldest brother Zhou Yun and sister-in-law would be miserable.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan did not dare to take risks.
After all, he is his own eldest brother, and he can't really sit back and ignore it.
"Is it that if you give you ten taels of gold, you will definitely be able to rescue your sister-in-law?"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhou Yun was like grasping the last straw, and his head was like a rattle.
"Yan'er..... Can you get ten taels of gold?" Zhou Mu asked in shock.
Zhou Yan sighed, pretended to be helpless, and said: "The matter has come to this point, I'll go find a friend to try it to see if I can borrow money from him, and then find a way to repay it slowly in the future." ”
"Second brother, my good second brother, I knew that you wouldn't ignore the eldest brother. Don't worry, the eldest brother swore in front of his parents and you and his little sister today that if he gambles again in the future, he will not die a good death. ”
Zhou Yun swore excitedly.
"Don't get too happy, I'm just going to give it a try. Ten taels of gold is not a small amount, and it is not certain whether you can borrow it or not. You stay here tonight with your father and wait for me to hear from you tomorrow morning. ”
Zhou Yan said to his parents and little sister again: "Father, mother, don't worry too much. I'm going to go to my friend right now and see if I can borrow money. ”
"Yan.... Yan'er, if you can't borrow it, forget it. Anyway, your eldest brother is not angry, and you don't need to have a psychological burden. ”
Zhou's mother comforted Zhou Yan.
It's really unusual for a mother to say such a thing.
With her character, it is impossible to watch her sister-in-law, who is pregnant with her eldest brother's flesh and blood, fall into the hands of the wicked and still be so calm.
Isn't that wrong in your previous guess?
Zhou Yan thought in shock.
"I'll do my best. Father, mother, Xiaole, you can eat the things I bought while they are hot, they won't taste good when they're cold. I'll be back tomorrow morning. ”
"Okay, Yan'er, don't embarrass yourself. ”
Father Zhou said to Zhou Yan.
"Second brother, pay attention to safety at night. The little sister Zhou Le said obediently.
"Good second brother, then the eldest brother is waiting for you here. ”
Zhou Yan nodded, then walked out of the room and left.
