Changping Village.

When brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming returned to the village, it was already dark, and smoke was curling out of the chimneys of the houses in the village with slightly better conditions.

Forty percent of the households are non-smoking households. These 40% of the households are usually those who live a hard life, have little land, and are the breadwinners of the family who have no good craftsmanship. They are stupid and lazy, but they still work hard to have children.

They themselves have seen their whole life since they were in their twenties, giving up hard work and struggle, and passively accepting the arrangements of life.

In the most filthy and embarrassing days, I worked hard to give birth to a baby, and I had to choose a boy to give birth, hoping that one of the many children would emerge as the leader.

This is no different from gambling, it's all about taking risks. These people don't think about how much initial investment they need to raise a child who can take the lead and turn the family around.

Either go to school, join the army, or go into business.

study?

I can't afford the repair money.

Join the army?

Just kidding, what if you lose your life on the battlefield? Wouldn’t the food of the past ten years have been in vain?

The only option is to go into business.

But doing business requires capital and connections.

Apart from a few mud and thatched houses at home that were about to collapse, and a few poor relatives at the beginning and end of the village, I had no other capital or connections.

All three roads were tightly blocked, so I just kept on living with my eyes closed, hoping for a miracle to come.

If miracles really happened so easily, they wouldn't be called miracles.

So in the end, a house full of sons, yes, they are really good hands in the field, and each one is a strong worker.

But the family was poor, and they only had a few acres of land. After deducting all kinds of exorbitant taxes and taxes, the harvest was simply not enough for the family.

So the extra strong laborers were released to work for the landlords as long-term or short-term workers, and they went to the town docks to do some rough loading and unloading work. No matter where they went, they were driven around like mules and horses by people.

We are all human beings, and we are all raised by our father and mother. Why should we give birth to so many children to be driven by powerful people?

So, when he saw this scene on the way back to the village, Yang Huaming said to Yang Huazhong: "Third brother, I have made a plan. Tiedan's brain probably won't be able to read. I want him to do it behind the village, Qing'er." After he studied in the school until he was eleven or twelve years old, he handed it over to Tang Yazi and asked him to take him to join the army and give him a try."

Yang Huazhong said: "It's not easy to join the army. In our family, not only Tang Yazi is in the army now, but Chen'er is also in the army."

"Tang Yazi leads the ground army, and Chen'er trains the water army. I see that Tiedan is a good hand at paddling in the pond at the entrance of the village during the summer, and in the river behind the village. I might consider letting him follow Chen'er in the future. As a boy, you have to achieve something to make your life in this world worthwhile!"

Yang Huaming nodded, "Yes, I have thought about this before."

"I have no future and have spent most of my life in a state of confusion. But I can't let Tiedan be as useless as me. I have accomplished nothing at the age of over forty."

"Originally, I was a little reluctant to let Tiedan join the army in the future, but now I went to a pawn shop and a gambling house, and I became determined. I must find a way out for Tiedan. I don't want him to be like a gambling house in the future. Those thugs and mazai were also used as targets. The fight between these two groups really scared me. The world outside is really not peaceful!"

Yang Huazhong also had the same sentiments about Yang Huaming's words.

Today, the two brothers went to the town to inquire about where the forfeited land deeds were, and accidentally ran into a fight between two groups, which was called a cruel fight.

They were all young men of fifteen or sixteen years old. They lost their arms and legs in a scuffle. In the final analysis, they were all trying to make a living.

"Although I have searched all over Qingshui Town today, I still haven't been able to find the land deed." Yang Huazhong continued.

Yang Huaming waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll fight with whoever dares to come over and take over the house!"

Yang Huazhong said: "Then we won't go looking for it. After all, we will wait for the person who collects the house to come to the door. We will then talk to them face to face and redeem the land deed. At the most, we can just pay more!"

Yang Huaming smiled, "Third brother, you are actually very good. In Shiliba Village, you have always done things with your heart as before. If you had just borrowed a little bit of Tang Yazi and Da'an Qing'er's influence, you would have become the leader of this area."

It’s a tyrant. As for the people who take over the old house, even if they pay the money, they don’t dare to come and take over the house.”

Yang Huazhong also laughed, "It's the children's business that they can be successful. They are outside making all the decisions. I'm at home. I still want to live the same life as before. I don't want to be called master or anything like that. I'm not used to it!"

Yang Huaming shook his head helplessly: "Third brother, you were born to be a farmer!"

Yang Huazhong grinned: "Farmers are pretty good, let's go, we're home, come to my house and leave a message. Your third sister-in-law's dinner should be almost cooked. Eat at my place before going back."

…

Only Xiao Hua and Xiao Duo were at home, and the two sisters were cooking.

"Why isn't your mother at home?" Yang Huazhong asked in surprise.

"Dad, my breasts are so painful that I fainted today. Mom and my fifth aunt stayed with me at the old house all afternoon."

Xiaohua briefly explained the cause of Tan's leg pain, and Yang Huaming sneered: "Look how capable this old man is. He actually made the old lady so angry that she faked her death. If the old lady had any good luck, I would have to let the old man bury her with her."

No!"

Yang Huazhong frowned, his heart tightening.

"The old lady has become much more peaceful these days. She doesn't curse anyone much. I hope she doesn't get angry so she can come, go and have a look."

The two brothers soon arrived at the old house. Mrs. Sun and her daughter-in-law were almost all guarding the east room.

Beside the bed, Yang Huamei was sitting sideways, holding Tan's hand tightly with both hands, "Mom, please bear with me a little longer, Uncle Fu is pulling out the needle for you, it's going to be quick."

On the other side, Tan's pants were pulled up to her thighs, revealing her skinny legs.

The legs were covered with silver needles that looked like cow hairs. They had probably been inserted earlier, and now Forbes was pulling out the needles one by one.

Mrs. Tan screamed in pain. Fortunately, her hand was held by Yang Huamei, who continued to comfort her. Otherwise, Mrs. Tan would have rolled all over the bed.

Yang Huaming suddenly patted Yang Huazhong's arm, "Third brother, look at my mother's legs covered with silver needles. Doesn't it look like the mace in the hands of that gang in the casino today?"

Yang Huazhong glared at Yang Huaming angrily. How long has it been since he was young to still be joking?

Yang Huaming smiled and quickly shut up.

Yang Huazhong said nothing, and stood aside patiently waiting for Uncle Fu to pull out the last silver needle, and then followed Uncle Fu out of the house to talk outside.

"Brother Fu, how is my mother doing? I heard that she fainted briefly today. Is it anything serious?"
