Sun Kang was furious. He scolded his third son, "Good my ass. You're the smartest in our family. Why can't you learn medicine? Now, you still have to learn what business is. Is business that easy to do?"
Sun Kang started scolding.
The eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, and mother-in-law were busy with needlework in the house. When they heard the commotion outside, they looked like they were used to it. They did not participate and let them cause trouble.
The more Sun Kang spoke, the sadder he became. The more he spoke, the more he felt that he had let down his ancestors.
The Sun family had been practicing medicine for generations, but who knew that in Sun Kang's generation, they would suddenly stop.
None of his three sons were qualified to study medicine.
His eldest son had been forced to learn from him since he was young. After learning for so many years, he only knew medicinal herbs and could not be counted on to treat illnesses. Now, he could only run around to collect medicinal herbs.
Second son.
Looking at his honest and burly second son, Sun Kang sighed. Sigh! Forget it.
His head was solid. Typical. Simple-minded and well-developed.
Third son.
Speaking of his third son, he felt even more heartbroken.
His third son had shown his intelligence when he was young. He had been happy for a long time and thought that his ability finally had a successor.
Unexpectedly, he did not use his intelligence on the right path. He learned everything else at once, but it cost him his ability to learn medicine.
He scolded and scolded, but he still could not learn well. In the end, he completely gave up and gave up on his sons. He turned his attention to his grandsons.
The eldest son's family had three boys and one girl. The second branch also had two boys and one girl. The third branch had yet to start a family, so there was no need to talk about it.
From the looks of it, the population was still very prosperous. However, among his grandchildren, he had studied and educated them for a long time, but he could not find anyone with the talent to study medicine.
He was getting older and older now. Whether this skill at home could be passed down had become a sore point in his heart. It happened every two to three days.
This morning, he did not know what dream he had, but when he woke up, he sat at the head of the bed and sighed. He only knew that his ancestors were blaming him.
As a result, he pulled out a few more sons and repeatedly 'whipped' them.
Just as Sun Kang was sighing, the cry of a child suddenly came from outside the door.
Sun Youcai immediately recognized his precious niece's voice.
It was as if he had been reborn. "Father! It's Tongtong. My sister and brother-in-law are here!"
With that, he jogged to the door and opened it.
Then, a little girl rushed in like a small cannonball. "Grandpa, Grandpa, Tongtong is here to see you."
"Oh my."
Sun Kang caught the little girl who rushed over and carried her. "Let Grandpa see if you've grown taller."
Zhao Zhitong giggled. "You've grown taller. You're really tall."
The girl's childish voice seemed to have a healing effect. Sun Kang's anger just now dissipated by half. He said happily, "Hahaha, you've really grown taller."
Sun Youwei and his brothers heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. They were grateful to Zhao Zhitong for appearing in time to save them from danger.
At this time, Grandma Zhao Guifen and her two aunts also came out of the house when they heard the commotion.
"Oh, Tongtong, you're here."
As soon as she saw Zhao Zhitong, Zhao Guifen smiled until her eyes curved. Then, she didn't see her daughter and son-in-law and couldn't help but be stunned. "Tongtong, you came alone? Where are your parents?"
Zhao Zhitong got down from Sun Kang's arms and ran to Zhao Guifen. "Father and Mother are still behind me. They're so slow. They're not as fast as me. I missed my grandparents, so I ran very quickly."
Her sweet mouth made everyone in the courtyard laugh.
Sun Youcai was displeased. He went forward and squatted in front of Zhao Zhitong. "Why? Do you only miss Grandpa and Grandma? Don't you miss Uncle? To think that Uncle brings you candy every time."
As he spoke, she took out another candy and said seductively, "Come, tell me you miss Uncle the most."
Would Zhao Zhitong care about candy now?
She immediately pouted and said in a childish voice, "Uncle, why are you like a child? You're even competing with Grandpa and Grandma for my favor. How embarrassing."
Sun Youcai was speechless. In the end, his candy was useless.
After she was done being naughty, Zhao Zhitong hugged her grandmother, Madam Zhao, and said, "I not only miss my grandparents, but also Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, and Cousins."
Sun Youcai was speechless.
"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Sister-in-law, and Second Sister-in-law!"
At this moment, Sun Mei and Zhao Dong's voices sounded outside the door. When they saw the two of them, everyone hurriedly went out to welcome them.
Madam Zhao went forward and held her daughter's hand. When she saw that there was some meat on her daughter's face, she nodded in relief. When she saw the things in her son-in-law's hand, she could not help but complain, "It's good that you guys came. Why did you bring things over?"
Zhao Dong knew that his mother-in-law's heart ached for their family's current difficulties. He couldn't help but smile. "How can that be? Mother, don't feel sorry for us. We didn't bring much. It's just some tofu and beancurd we made ourselves."
Sun Mei's eyes were red as she smiled and said, "That's right, Mother. Zhao Dong and I are doing a small business now. Don't worry about us."
Some villagers came to the Sun Village to sell tofu. They had also heard some things, but they only knew that someone from Zhaozhai Village had made something new.
Now that they heard Zhao Dong's words, they were both surprised.
"So, Zhaozhai Village's tofu is from your family!"
Zhao Dong smiled in embarrassment. "I had no choice. I have to find a new way out."
After learning that their son had found a new job, Sun Kang and Madam Zhao finally felt at ease.
Madam Zhao patted her daughter's hand in satisfaction. "Good, good, good. I know you're filial."
Sun Kang nodded in satisfaction. "Don't stand at the door. Let the son-in-law enter quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes." Madam Zhao wiped the corners of her eyes. "Look at me, I'm so happy. Youcai, quickly help your brother-in-law carry his things and push the cart into the courtyard."
The arrival of Sun Mei's family instantly caused the Sun family's courtyard to become lively.
When the children heard that there were guests at home, they ran over one by one and called them aunt and uncle.
Zhao Dong sat with his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law and chatted.
Under the roof, Madam Zhao was talking to her daughter.
The two daughters-in-law were busy boiling tea in the kitchen and distributing beancurd for the children.
At this moment, the children were gathered at the kitchen door. Looking at the tempting beancurd, they were all extremely excited.
Sun Mei knew that all children liked to eat beancurd, so she packed a lot of it. It was enough for the children.
However, the two wives wanted to save some more for the men at home to eat tonight, so they poured it carefully.
The four boys had a bowl each, but the two girls only had half a bowl.
Zhao Zhitong was an exception. Since she was a guest, she also got a bowl.
Looking at the unfair distribution, Zhao Zhitong was filled with doubts.
