Xu Daoyou's brothers cherish the things left by their mother, and over the years, if it weren't for the strong uncles, Xu's father would have given these things to the Zhou family.

Father Xu didn't leave anything in his hands for Yuan's ex-wife, and all his feelings for Yuan's wife had almost dissipated when his wife and uncles came to the door to make a fuss.

Zhou's petty affection for Xu's father made him very useful.

He took care of his young stepson more and more, and with Zhou's teachings, the two stepsons were very close to Xu's father, and for a while, the father and son were better than father and son.

Xu's father and Xu Dao have a brotherly relationship, but they have distanced themselves step by step.

When Xu Daoyuan was in Xiucai, he expressed his intention to continue studying for another three years, and Xu's father had a seizure, saying that Xu Daoyuan was old, he was already old, and he couldn't afford him to study.

Xu Daoyou was angry at the time, and said indignantly: "In the past few years, my distant brother has not spent your money on studying, and now as long as he wants to study, I am willing to continue to provide for it." ”

Father Xu looked at Xu Daoyou with a cold expression: "If you are willing to confess, don't criticize me and your mother outside." ”

Xu Daoyuan pulled Xu Daoyou away, looked at Xu's father and smiled bitterly: "We juniors don't dare to criticize the elders outside. ”

When their brothers were together, Xu Daoyuan said: "Big brother, my father is no longer the father he used to be.

He was worried that we would drag him down, but I didn't think about studying for another three years, I just wanted to see if his attitude towards me had changed after I won Xiucai. ”

After Xu Daoyuan was selected for Xiucai, when he went to thank Shien, the master asked him about his plans for the future, thinking that if he had the heart to study, he could settle down and study for three years.

Xu Daoyuan didn't want to read any more, so the master told him that there was still a master in the school, and if he had the heart to teach the students, he could recommend Xu Daoyuan to the mountain chief.

Xu's father's attitude towards Xu Daoyuan still disappointed him, but it was not the first time that Xu's father disappointed Xu Daoyuan.

A few years ago, Xu's father would rather let his two stepsons go to school than Xu Daoyuan to continue studying.

He thinks that Xu Dao has the qualifications of a brother, like the maiden family of Yuan's wife, and he has no talent in reading.

Their brother already knew a lot of words, so he didn't have to waste it on that.

Xu Daoyou was surprised at the time, and Xu's father always encouraged his students to study more and not to study for the sake of fame.

Xu Daoyou supported Xu Daoyuan to study, and said to his younger brother: "You study hard for a few years, as long as you have the fame of showing talent, you won't work too hard in whatever you do in the future." ”

Xu Daoyuan did not insist on continuing to study, and Xu's father said to Zhou after hearing this: "If he persists a little longer and studies hard for three years, I still have some confidence in him."

But he gave up too easily, and this kind of character is really not like me. ”

Zhou's treatment of his two older stepsons was naturally polite, even when he talked to Xu's father, he was also quite generous.

"Master, it's better to let the freshman and sophomore years stop studying for a few years, and you can rest assured that their second brother will study for another three years."

Father Xu looked at Zhou's eyes full of relief: "You married me, I really wronged you."

Don't take the gossip of some of the women of the clan to heart.

They think you can't compare to her, and in my heart, you can't lose to her everywhere. ”

Zhou lowered his head, and the Xu family members had an excellent impression of Xu Dao's brother's mother, and they all felt that she was the one who took advantage of her.

After Zhou gave birth to a pair of children to Xu's father, in the face of the criticism of his relatives, he could only defend in a low voice: "Isn't it a natural thing for a father to provide children with education?" ”

The clansmen listened to Zhou's cheeky words, and immediately retorted: "If those two children change their surnames to Xu, it is only natural for him to provide the two children with education." ”

When Zhou remarried, the ex-husband's family demanded that the two children not change their surnames.

Zhou asked the two children to show their smart and studious side in front of Xu's father, which really touched Xu's father's loving heart.

Zhou's intentionally or unintentionally made Xu's father notice that Xu Dao had a brother who was not filial to Xu's father because of her.

The relationship between father and son was originally tested once because of Xu's father's remarriage, and later because of their mother's dowry, the relationship between father and son was tested again.

With Zhou's reminder, Xu's father looked down on his two sons.

After Xu Daoyuan won the show, Xu's father was happy at first, but he was a little unhappy later.

Because there was a dispute between Xu Daoyuan's master and him over some trivial matters, he hoped that Xu Daoyuan would stand on his side and speak.

But Xu Daoyuan recognized his master's words and advised Xu's father to listen to the opinions of others.

Father Xu felt that Xu Daoyuan was a white-eyed wolf, and he didn't want to be attentive to this son.

Xu Daoyuan, under the recommendation of his master, entered the school as a master.

After Xu's father knew the good news, he was unhappy again, and he thought that if Xu Daoyuan had the intention of being a master, he could come and discuss with his father first.

In short, everything Xu Daoyuan did was wrong, when he got married, Xu's father had to pretend to face his in-laws with a smile, and he had already made the decision to split up in his heart.

The relatives of the Xu family opposed Xu's father's decision to divide the family, but Xu's father said that he would treat the three sons fairly, and the relatives could only acquiesce to their separation.

Xu Daoyou is the eldest son, but Xu's father did not treat him as the eldest son in his heart, he and Xu Daoyou said directly: "The eldest son needs to be supported by the elderly, but your mother and I don't need it, we will live with your younger brother in the future." ”

Father Xu thinks that the youngest son born to him and the Zhou family is smart and clever, but now he is just naughty and refuses to study hard, as long as the youngest son is attentive in the future, he will definitely gain fame early.

After the family was separated, Xu's father invited someone to repair the separated courtyard wall, and the people who came to work felt cold after listening to Xu's father's arrangement.

Xu Daoyou was angry because of this, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Xu's father didn't mind announcing to everyone, their father-son relationship was not harmonious.

After hearing the news, the elders of the Xu family rushed over to persuade Xu's father to divide the family, and they were also the father and son of the in-laws, leaving a door in the courtyard wall of the two families, which was also convenient for each other.

Father Xu said bluntly: "Their mother is not very old, and it is really inconvenient for her to continue to associate with her two stepsons. ”

The clan elders' faces changed, and they warned Father Xu that if he repented of the Xu family's reputation by talking nonsense, they would have the right to unite and directly invite him out of the family tree.

When the Xu family had a hard time, it was Xu Daoyou's brother's mother who came forward to help, so he had Xu's father's good reputation in the clan.

The elders of the Xu family are disdainful of Father Xu's indifference, but Father Xu is also disdainful of the short-sightedness and lack of pattern of the clansmen.

He didn't think that Xu Dao had a brotherhood, and he thought that they and their children would be like their uncle's family, and they had no talent in reading.

He insisted on separating the family, just thinking that when he and Zhou's son had a future in the future, he would not have to take care of the two half-brothers.
