Siheyuan Great Craftsmen
Chapter 463 Zhou Tian’s Concern (2)
"Grandson, are you angry?"
Feeling that the atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing, after a long while, grandma was the first to ask cautiously.
"No, grandma, in fact, you can take my wife and others to visit my father's grave. I can't thank you enough. How can I be angry?"
Zhou Tian was driving and replied with a forced smile on his face, but for some reason, the tears in the corners of his eyes began to flow uncontrollably. Helplessly, he could only wipe them away with his sleeves.
"Grandson, don't blame your grandma. This was grandpa's idea!"
Seeing his eldest grandson crying, he felt uncomfortable and took the whole responsibility on himself.
"Grandpa, I'm really not angry, it's just, I don't know why, I can't stop crying, and..."
As he spoke, his voice became choked for some reason. This was also the reason why Zhou Tian was unwilling to visit the grave on this day. In fact, even he himself didn't know why he behaved so badly on this day.
At the same time, the pain in his heart became more and more intense, and his face began to turn pale.
Fortunately, all this did not affect his driving. After the car stopped outside the courtyard gate and he got out of the car, his mood improved a little. He first sent his grandparents back, then supported his wife, and took his mother-in-law and children back to the main house.
He couldn't wait to prepare dinner. After all, looking at the time, his younger brothers would be back from school soon.
Coming to the kitchen, Zhou Tian quickly started to light the fire, heat water, and cut vegetables. The series of actions seemed to flow like water, and in less than half an hour, the meal was ready.
After my younger brother and sister and father-in-law Shen Jie came back, everyone started to eat.
After dinner, as usual, he asked his younger brothers and sisters to clean up the dishes. Zhou Tian was afraid of making a fool of himself in front of everyone, so he went back to the west wing alone without waiting for his wife. The third brother and the younger sister could not help but look at their eldest brother's back with distressed eyes as he walked out.
"Xiao Yu, come and tell your sister-in-law what happened to your brother today?"
Shen Yulin was careful after all, and she soon noticed something strange about the two children. She had just married two years ago, and since her husband had not shown any surprise, she had never noticed the difference between today and other days. However, with her husband's unusual behavior today, she felt for the first time that her husband was not as strong as he appeared.
"Sister-in-law, we don't know what to say about this matter."
Hearing what his sister-in-law said, Zhou Yu couldn't help but hesitate. After all, he didn't know if his brother would be angry if he told his sister-in-law about this.
"Sister-in-law, let me talk to you!"
At this time, Zhou Ting put away the dishes and returned to the main room. When she heard what her sister-in-law said, she walked over and said.
"Xiaoting, aren't you afraid that big brother will be angry?"
When Zhou Yu heard what his younger sister said, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He knew that apart from his second brother, his younger sister loved his eldest brother the most. He didn't expect that his younger sister would expose his eldest brother's shortcomings in front of his eldest sister-in-law.
"Second brother, I am different from you. Big brother loves me the most, and I love him too. In the past few years, when we were still young, big brother has been carrying the burden of this family, and he is exhausted enough, so I want to tell big brother's pain to big sister-in-law! This way, big sister-in-law can understand big brother better in the future!"
Zhou Ting is a girl, and she knows girls' psychology very well. Naturally, she also approves of her elder sister-in-law who has been married to her for three years, so she does not think it is a good thing to hide things from her elder sister-in-law.
At this time, Li Yuling and Shen Jie, who were playing with the children, couldn't help but look at Zhou Ting. Obviously, they were also very concerned about their son-in-law's situation today. Only the grandparents smiled bitterly at each other when they heard their granddaughter's words, with loneliness and regret in their eyes.
"Sister-in-law, actually, as far back as I can remember, I knew that our family is different from other families. We don't have a father and a mother. In the past, I always asked my eldest brother, and he would say that our father and mother turned into stars in the sky to watch over us and protect us. Later, I gradually became sensible, and then I realized that my eldest brother was lying to me. But I don't hate my eldest brother at all, because he usually plays the role of our father!"
"I seem to remember it was five years ago, also on February 28th, the anniversary of my father's death. On that day, I just got home from school and found that my eldest brother was not at home. You know, under normal circumstances, as long as we get home from school, my eldest brother will prepare meals for us as soon as possible! Only this day every year is an exception!"
As she spoke, a hint of sadness flashed across Zhou Ting's bright eyes, and Zhou Yu's eyes were also filled with pain.
"We didn't notice it at first, we just thought that our eldest brother was tired that day. But when my second brother led us out of the courtyard without saying a word and came to a dead corner at the entrance of the alley, I saw my eldest brother lying on the ground crying and curled up there. Then I realized that my eldest brother had contracted a disease at some point. Every time this day came, my eldest brother would feel uncomfortable all over and couldn't even stand up! Tears would flow uncontrollably."
Zhou Ting's eyes were also filled with tears at this time, and her voice was choked with sobs. Zhou Yu even squatted down and kept wiping his tears.
"In order to prevent us from knowing, my eldest brother has been hiding this matter. My second brother also found out about it in an accident eight years ago. For this reason, my second brother also consulted many doctors. The doctors said that this is a heart disease and it cannot be cured at all. Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine!"
"So from that day on, every year on this day, we would try our best to be with big brother. The reason why we didn't go with him to visit our father's grave is that big brother's illness has actually improved a lot in the past few years, especially after big sister-in-law got married!"
Finally, Zhou Ting wiped her tears and looked at her sister-in-law who was also crying. She said, "Sister-in-law, my brother has had a really hard time these years, especially in the past few years when he was still in the steel mill. At that time, his salary was not only used to support our studies, but also to take care of our parents and grandparents. So, sister-in-law, can you please not be angry with my brother in the future?"
Listening to Zhou Ting's words, Shen Yulin no longer had the heart to speak. Tears just kept flowing silently. Although she knew about his past years from her husband, most of them were just glossed over by him. In the past few years, at this time every year, he would try his best to control his emotions.
No wonder she found her husband smoking alone in the yard when she woke up at night. He must be venting his emotions, right? The more she thought about it, the more distressed she felt.
"Hey, this kid has been like this since he was young. He would rather suffer by himself than trouble others. He has the same personality as his father!"
Seeing her granddaughter-in-law's sad face, the grandmother said with heartache.
"In fact, the old man and I have already discovered this matter, but we are both old and don't have many years left to live. This child is actually very thoughtful, so in order to completely resolve his worries, I, the old man and I planned this scene today, but now it seems that it is useless!"
After saying that, grandma also sighed.
"It's useless. Why is it useless? I think it's very useful. Xiaoyu, Xiaoting, you two are good kids. Grandpa knows that, and your eldest brother loves you three the most. Although it seems that your eldest brother's care for you three is gradually decreasing, it doesn't mean that your eldest brother really doesn't care about you anymore. You have to understand this! Don't hate your eldest brother!"
But grandpa retorted and spoke to Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting.
