house life

Chapter 202

Brother Xu Dao cherished the things left by his mother. Over the years, if the uncles hadn't been strong, Xu's father would have given these things to the Zhou family.

Xu's father didn't leave anything about his first wife's ex-wife, and all his feelings for his first wife had almost dissipated when his brothers-in-law came to make trouble.

Zhou's little affection for Xu's father has greatly benefited him.

He took care of his young stepson more and more. With Zhou's teaching, the two stepsons were very close to Xu's father. For a while, the relationship between father and son was better than father and son.

Xu's father and Xu Dao had a brotherly relationship, but they distanced themselves step by step.

When Xu Daoyuan was selected as a scholar and he expressed his intention to continue studying for another three years, Xu's father became angry and said that Xu Daoyuan was old, he was already old, and he really couldn't afford to support his studies.

Xu Daoyou was angry at that time, and said indignantly: "In the past few years, Brother Yuan has never spent your money on his studies. Now as long as he wants to study, I am willing to continue to pay for it."

Xu's father looked at Xu Daoyou with a cold expression: "If you are willing to confess, don't criticize me and your mother outside."

Xu Daoyuan pulled Xu Daoyou away, looked at Xu's father with a wry smile and said, "We juniors don't dare to criticize the elders outside."

When the brothers were together, Xu Daoyuan said: "Brother, father is no longer the father he used to be.

He was worried that we would drag him down. In fact, I didn't think about studying for another three years. I just wanted to see if his attitude towards me changed after I became a scholar. "

After Xu Daoyuan became a scholar, when he went to express his gratitude to his teacher, his master asked him about his future plans and thought that if he was determined to study, he could settle down and study for three years.

Xu Daoyuan didn't want to continue reading, so the master told him that there was still a shortage of masters in the school. If he wanted to teach the students, he could recommend Xu Daoyuan to the head of the mountain.

Xu's father's attitude towards Xu Daoyuan still disappointed him, but it was not the first time that Xu's father had disappointed Xu Daoyuan.

A few years ago, Xu's father would rather send his two stepson to school than Xu Daoyuan to continue his studies.

He thinks that Xu Daoyou's brother's aptitude is like that of his first wife's natal family, and he has no talent in reading.

The brothers already knew a lot of characters, so there was no need to waste it.

Xu Daoyou was surprised at the time. Xu's father had always encouraged his students to read more and not to study for fame.

Xu Daoyou supported Xu Daoyuan's studies, and said to his younger brother: "If you study hard for a few years, as long as you have the reputation of a scholar, you will not have to work too hard in whatever you do in the future."

Xu Daoyuan did not insist on continuing to study, Xu's father said to Zhou after hearing this: "If he persists and studies hard for three years, I still have some confidence in him.

But he gave up too easily, such a character is really not like me. "

Zhou's treatment of the two older stepson was naturally polite, and even when talking to Xu's father, he also behaved quite generously.

"Master, it's better to let the freshmen and sophomores stop studying for a few years, and you can rest assured that their second brother will study for another three years."

Xu's father looked at Zhou with a gratified expression in his eyes: "You have really wronged you by marrying me.

Don't take the gossip of some women in the clan to heart.

They think you can't compare to her, but in my heart, you can't lose to her in every way. "

Mrs. Zhou lowered her head. The relatives of the Xu family had a very good impression of Xu Daoyou's brother's mother, and they all felt that she had taken advantage of her.

After the Zhou family gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters for Xu's father, in the face of the criticisms of the family members, they could only defend in a low voice: "Isn't it a matter of course for a father to provide education for the children?"

The relatives heard Zhou's cheeky words, and immediately retorted: "If the two children change their surname to Xu, it is only natural for him to provide for the two children to study."

When Mrs. Zhou remarried, the request of her ex-husband's family was that the two children were not allowed to change their surnames.

Zhou let the two children show their smart and studious side in front of Xu's father, which really touched Xu's father's loving heart.

Consciously or not, Zhou made Xu's father notice that because of her, Xu Daoyou's brothers were no longer as filial to Xu's father as before.

The relationship between father and son was originally tested because Xu's father remarried, and later because of their mother's dowry, the relationship between father and son was tested again.

With Zhou's reminder, Xu's father looked down on his two sons.

After Xu Daoyuan was selected as a scholar, Xu's father was happy at first, but later he was not very happy.

Because there was a dispute between Xu Daoyuan's master and him because of some trivial matters, he hoped that Xu Daoyuan would speak on his side.

But Xu Daoyuan agreed with his master's words and advised Xu's father to listen to other people's opinions.

Xu's father therefore felt that Xu Daoyuan was a white-eyed wolf, and he no longer wanted to take care of his son.

Under the recommendation of the master, Xu Daoyuan entered the school as a master.

After Xu's father heard the good news, he was unhappy again. He thought that if Xu Daoyuan wanted to be a wife, he could come and discuss with his father first.

In short, what Xu Daoyuan did was wrong. When he got married, Xu's father had to put on a smile to face his in-laws, and he had already made the decision to separate the family.

The relatives of Xu's family opposed Xu's decision to separate the family, but Xu's father said that he would treat the three sons fairly, so the relatives could only acquiesce in their separation.

Xu Daoyou is the eldest son, but Xu's father didn't treat him as the eldest son in his heart. He said directly to Xu Daoyou: "The eldest son needs to take care of himself until his death, but your mother and I don't. We will live with your younger brother in the future."

Xu's father thought that the youngest son born to him and the Zhou family was smart and smart, but now he was just naughty and refused to study hard.

After the family was separated, Xu's father invited people to repair the separated courtyard wall. Those who came to work felt very cold after listening to Xu's father's arrangement.

Xu Daoyou was very angry because of this, and his family ugliness should not be publicized. Xu's father didn't mind announcing to everyone that their father-son relationship was not harmonious.

After the elders of the Xu family heard the news, they rushed over to persuade Xu's father. The family was separated, and they were also the father and son of the first relatives. A door was left in the wall of the two courtyards, so that they could communicate with each other more conveniently.

Xu's father said bluntly: "Their mother is not very old, it is really inconvenient to continue to communicate with the two stepson."

The faces of the clan elders changed, and they warned Father Xu that if he repented the Xu family's reputation by talking nonsense, they would have the right to unite and invite him directly out of the family tree.

When the Xu family was having a hard time, it was Xu Daoyou's brother's mother who came forward to help, and that's why Xu's father had a good reputation in the family.

The elders of the Xu family disdain Xu's father's fickleness, but Xu's father also disdains his relatives' short-sightedness and lack of structure.

He didn't think that Xu Daoyou's brothers would be successful, and thought that they and their children would be like the members of their uncle's family, and they didn't have much talent in reading.

He insisted on separating the family because he and Zhou's son would not have to take care of the two half-brothers and their families when they are promising in the future.
