Not only did he take away all my money, but I also got blamed. Life is really unbearable.

"Here's all the money, take it or leave it."

"Your Fugui's 'illness' a few days ago cost me a lot of money. Why didn't you tell me that Doctor Zhao's fees are not cheap."

When Fugui heard that there was still something for him to do, he immediately lowered his head and acted like a quail.

The eldest brother still didn't believe it. He thought that if he offended such an important family, he might lose his life at any time.

Those few pieces of money are still hidden away. His life is not even worth that little bit of money. It is really disheartening. The so-called whole money is just an excuse for not wanting to give it to himself.

When the old lady saw the eldest brother looking at her sideways, she knew that he did not trust her and still felt that he had money but was not giving it to him to use.

You can't spend the money and then be blamed. Since you have made up your mind to give the money to others, you must spend it effectively.

He took out the key tied to his belt and untied it, "This is the key to the cabinet in the house. You can open it and see if there is any other money to see if I am deceiving you."

The eldest brother was stunned for a moment. The status of this key was almost the same as wealth and honor, or even more important than wealth and honor. Yet, he was willing to let him use it to open the cabinet. Could it be that he really had no money?

I just blamed my mother wrongly, and suddenly I felt a little regretful. After all, she is my biological mother, how could I think of her like that? I wanted to slap myself. It seems to be true, but such a small amount of money is of no use. I sighed silently in my heart.

He pushed the key back and said, "Mom, no...no need to look, I believe you."

The old lady refused to give in and pulled the eldest son's hand and walked into the house.

Now that the words have been spoken, I have to take a look and let him know how much I have contributed to this family. I really haven't left a single penny.

But don't hold any resentment in your heart. You may not dare to say it to my face, but people may curse you behind my back. You have to talk it out today.

The second child wanted to follow him in and see what other good things were in the cabinet. He wanted to have his own share in the future. He pushed aside the people blocking the way and said, "Mom, I want to see it too."

When the old lady heard the second son's voice, she took a deep breath. He was really everywhere. He was usually nowhere to be seen when he was working, but when it came to money and things, he was really everywhere and refused to suffer any loss. Who did she take this from?

She turned around and glanced at him, her eyes flickering up and down a few times, and said reluctantly, "Then let's watch it together."

The three men entered the room and surrounded the cabinet tightly. People outside stretched their necks but could not see anything.

The two of them had never seen the inside of this cabinet since they were young. Every time their mother opened the cabinet, she avoided them.

Because my mother could always take out all kinds of things from it, including delicious food, money, and sometimes even cloth, which I thought was magical.

He wanted to pry open the lock to have a look, but was discovered and given a severe beating. After that, he never thought of breaking into the cabinet again.

Today I was able to fulfill my childhood dream, and I feel mixed emotions.

The old lady took the key and slowly opened the cabinet. The eldest and second sons opened their eyes wide, not wanting to miss a single corner.

Before I could see what was inside, I was choked by the smell in the cabinet and started sneezing. I quickly covered my nose with one hand and fanned it hard with the other hand before I could barely get used to the smell.

When he took a closer look, he was greatly disappointed. There were a few pieces of moldy cakes, bacon with green hair, two pounds of soybeans that he had bought before, and a few remaining corns and dried wild vegetables.

The eldest son couldn't believe it. These were the only things in the cabinet. Could it be that his mother hid the money in the grain bag?

He wanted to reach in and take something out, but he didn't dare. He glanced at the old lady and then at the second brother, making sure that he thought the same as he did. He didn't care about anything else. What if he could find some money?

The two men pulled the old lady aside and took out all the edible and inedible things, so that everything in the cabinet could be seen at a glance.

He reached in and searched every bag, and indeed there was not a single penny left.

The eldest brother sat on the ground with lifeless eyes. What should he do now? There was really only a little money left at home. He had to go and borrow some tomorrow.

The second son felt a little resentful. His mother was so cruel that she didn't leave him a penny. As a son, he had to wear his eldest brother's clothes since he was a child, and he didn't get any share every time his mother made new clothes.

Children are lively and active, so their clothes can't stand the tossing and turning, and they are torn into pieces in just a few days.

They say that they have only been worn for a few days and are still new. Only clothes like this would be given to oneself.

There are patches here and there, and even if all the patches on the bodies of my childhood friends are added together, they are still not as many as mine.

When I was a child, I didn’t have anything to play with. My eldest brother had a cloth bag, and I had liked it for a long time.

Because I was taught from a young age not to steal other people’s things, I looked forward to the day when my elder brother no longer wanted them so that I could take them.

Once, the cloth bag had a hole in it and the things inside leaked out. My eldest brother threw it aside, took out needle and thread, and sewed it up crookedly.

I thought that since my elder brother didn't want it anymore, it should be mine. Even though it's a little ugly, at least it's a cloth bag and I can play with it.

As a result, when the eldest brother saw that the cloth bag was sewn, he complained to his mother, saying that he had stolen her things. Without any reason, he was severely beaten.

Why does he always side with the eldest brother? They are both sons. Was he adopted? He shook his head and said it was impossible. How could he be adopted when he looks exactly like his father?

From childhood to adulthood, I remember every single thing very clearly, and I probably will never forget it in my life. Even now, my mother is partial to my eldest brother, and I really feel unwilling to accept it.

I couldn't help but try again, "Mom, are you not going to leave any of this money for me?"

The old lady felt that something was wrong with the second son, but she didn't think too much about it. She just felt that now was the time to spend money, and if she didn't give money to the eldest son, she didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be.

"Please use it on your brother first. He is in trouble right now."

The second son thought about waiting a little longer, wondering if his mother would give him the money later. He stared at the old lady for a while, but didn't get the answer he wanted, so he finally gave up.

His face was a little pale. He could never catch up with his elder brother in his mother's heart. The same was true for Man Guan. They were both grandsons, but he could never compare to Fugui.

Staggering out of the house, the old lady felt that something seemed wrong with the second son's expression. She thought he was just ignorant and did not realize that it was due to her bias.

Everyone's vision was finally unobstructed, and they all looked into the room curiously, thinking that there would be some good stuff in the cabinet.

They stretched their necks and stared inside, only to find that they all had looks of disappointment on their faces.
