Super Prestige System

Chapter 236 Chapter [-]: What a head, what a hat!
After the hasty meal, the two checked out and left. Zhou Ding took Ling'er to the south of Suzhou City.

Five miles south of the city, there is a Tianjiazhuang, and there is a Tian Xiucai in Tianjiazhuang.

Tian Xiucai is 50 years old this year, and has four sons under his knees, all of whom have already married and established businesses, and have separated their families.

Zhou Ding brought Ling'er to Tianjia Village, found an old man enjoying the cool air, took out fifty copper coins, and asked him to tell the story of Tianjia!

During this period, the wages of an adult strong man was only twenty copper coins a day, and he could get fifty copper coins for talking about the affairs of the Tian family, so why not do it?
It is not the first time that the old man has talked about the affairs of the Tian family to outsiders, and he said clearly:
Tian Xiucai's biggest regret in his life is that he failed to win the exam.

The boss and the third child of the Tian family are a little smarter. Long ago, Tian Xiucai had a preference for the eldest and the third child, and Tian Xiucai's wife was even more partial.

The second son of the Tian family is honest and honest, but his mind is relatively stupid, and he accepts death.

Ten years ago, the Tian family split up!

The second child believes that even if the family is separated, one should respect parents and love brothers. The daughter-in-law of the second family is kind-hearted and is a traditional woman who "obeys her husband at home and obeys her husband when married". She thinks her husband's approach is right!
After the separation, the second child still helped his parents in farming, his elder brother in farming, and his younger brother in farming.

Slowly, the father and mother excused that they were getting older and didn't want to go to the fields. Then, the eldest found a job as a tent in the city and had no time to go to the fields. Later, the third child excused that he was sick and couldn't go to the fields.

The second child, with his ten-year-old son, helps the whole family to plant the land!
When he couldn't help, the second child wanted to ask the fourth child for help.

The fourth child's attitude was very firm: "Second brother, we have already separated, and we can usually help each other, but they don't do it themselves. Are you too stupid for doing this?
Our family has a total of [-] mu of land. Parents left [-] mu of the best paddy field. The eldest brother and the third brother each have [-] mu of top-quality paddy field. What about the two of us?Ten acres of sloping land per person, in a good year with plenty of rain, can earn [-]% of the family’s income, and in a drought year, there is not much left after paying taxes!
You help them farm every year, have they ever given you a catty of grain?Don't say give it, even if you borrow it, will they lend you food?

You bring your ten-year-old son to help others farm, but other people's son is pampered like a young master! "

The second child scolded the fourth child at the time: "The nephew of the elder brother's family is studying, and they are all brothers. Why are there so many fusses? If you don't want to help, just pull it down. Don't bother me!"

The fourth child left angrily: "The eldest brother's son wants to study, but your son doesn't want to study?"
As time passed, the second child's family became poorer and poorer, and they couldn't get rid of the pot all year round. In this way, after eight years of stumbling, the eldest son was already, the eldest girl was sixteen, the youngest son was fourteen, and the youngest daughter was thirteen.

A family of six, each wearing tattered clothes, squeezed into two dilapidated huts, and lived on wild vegetables
But Tian Xiucai and his wife, the eldest, and the members of the third family think that the second child lives so poorly because he is not up to date!

Last winter, the second son went hunting in the mountains and accidentally broke his leg. He borrowed money from his parents to heal his leg, but his parents refused to borrow money from his brother, and his brother did not!
Why not borrow it? ,

Because they know that the second child can't afford it!
Even so, the second child did not blame his parents or his brother. He was lame and could only rely on his son and daughter to take care of the family.

Even so, this spring, his parents and his brother still asked the elder brother's family to help with farming.

This is the first time the second child has resentment, and I am already crippled, how can I help you farm?
The boss said: "You are lame, don't you still have a son?"

The second child is so stupid that he really wants his son to help them farm. The second son's son is angry:

"The big brother is 22 years old, and even his son is several years old. Why don't you come to farm? The third cousin is 17 years old. He has married a wife and has children. Why don't he come to farm? I will help you farm, do I owe you?"

The eldest and the third child kept saying: "Your family is not good at studying, so you should help us with our work, and you should be our cows and horses. When our son is in high school, you will also have glory. You actually want to put down the pick, and you are against you!"

The attitude of the second son is very firm: Even if it is said to be broken, it will not be for nothing to farm for them!

The second child dragged a crippled leg and complained at home.And the boss and the third child, even Tian Xiucai's wife, would come to the third child's door to yell at him every now and then, scolding him for being unfilial, and calling him a poor parent!
The second child broke his leg, and the family spent all their money. Last year, they did not send pension money to their parents.

Because the second son's son would not farm for them, Mrs. Tian came to the second son's house and took away the only property of the second son's family, four old hens!
After this incident, the two sides turned against each other!

Zhou Ding asked: "How is the fourth son of the Tian family doing?"

The old man replied: "Although the fourth child has not studied, he is a sensible person, and he is also very capable. The life at home is very prosperous, and there are many things that should be given to the elderly during the festivals. People in the village mentioned the fourth child. Say no!"

The two thanked the old man and left Tianjiacun.

Zhou Ding asked: "Ling'er, do you think who is right and who is wrong about this family?"

Ling'er said in an atmosphere: "Of course it's the fault of the boss and the third child. How could they be so bad? Tian Xiucai is not right either. They are all his own sons. How can they treat one more than another?"

Zhou Ding shook his head: "No, no!"

Linger asked: "Brother Ding, what do you mean, isn't the boss and the third brother too bad?"

Zhou Ding asked back: "Boss and youngest, have they ever harmed others?"

"no!"

Zhou Ding said lightly: "This shows that they are not born evil people. Until now, the two of them will not think that they are wrong!"

"If it's not the boss and the third child who are wrong, who is it? It's Tian Xiucai and his wife?"

"Although Tian Xiucai and his wife are eccentric, they are not too much."

"Brother Ding, what do you mean? The wrong person is the second child? Why?"

Zhou Ding said slowly: "As the saying goes: Poor people must have something to hate!

Although Tian Xiucai didn't like the second child and the fourth child, he didn't mean them too much. Why did the fourth child's family live a prosperous life, while the second child's family lived so miserable? "

"Yeah, why?" Linger asked.

"As the saying goes: the bigger the head, the bigger the hat!
If the second child was just like the fourth child from the beginning of the separation, only doing what he should do, the ending today must be completely different!
Tian Xiucai and his wife couldn't take care of the land, so they could rent it out to others for farming, and the rent they got was enough for two old people to eat.

Boss won't treat himself as a landlord and become a waste of high-mindedness and low-handedness just because he has hope!

The third child pretends to be sick every year because he is envious and the eldest does not work.If not, maybe it would be better!
What about the second child's family?If this energy is used to rent and plant other people's land, life will not be worse than that of the fourth child, at least, he will not be poor, and the family of six will live in two thatched huts, living on wild vegetables. day! "

What Brother Ding said made sense, but it seemed that something was wrong there, Ling'er pondered for a long time, and asked: "In that case, isn't it too impersonal?"

Zhou Ding chuckled: "The second son of the Tian family is quite humane, but because of his humaneness, his parents were stigmatized for being unkind, and the eldest brother and third younger brother became villains who oppressed brothers. My own family is living a life of love." Miserable!
And what about the fourth child?People give some food to the elderly during the festivals, which is a little bit of filial piety. In the whole village, who dares to say that he is impersonal?

Brothers, clear accounts, the ancient Ming training! "

Ling'er in the original play is too benevolent, and the real world is cruel, Zhou Ding can't let Ling'er live in a fairy tale forever!
