Chapter 427 How Can I Not Blame

"Hey, why are you back here again? Why don't you go and shout?"

Yang Wen lowered his head and touched the axe to continue chopping wood, chopping, chopping, chopping.

The look frightened Ba so much that he quickly dodged to the side, fearing that he might accidentally hit her.

Stepping aside, Ba put her hands on her hips and scolded him, "Yang Wen, my words are no longer effective, are they? Are you listening or not? Don't forget what you promised me when you wanted to marry me. If you don't keep your promise, you'd better be struck by lightning!"

She wiped her eyes and started crying again, "Why is my life so hard? Tell me, why am I doing this? It's all for your son. I worry so much about this family. Your mother is sick, but I'm the one taking care of her. You treat me badly, you're not a human being, sob—"

Yang Wen frowned, frowned, and frowned again.

Finally, he sighed softly and put down the axe, "Don't cry, I'll go and shout."

Ba's expression immediately changed, "Go quickly, so I can kill the chicken!"

Yang Wen walked to the foot of the mountain with his head down, and wandered around the firewood shed for a long time without going over.

Yang Wu inside had already seen him, and when he saw that he didn't come over, he came out and called him, "Brother?"

He was kicked out by his brother and sister-in-law and got nothing. It is impossible to say that he didn't feel resentful.

But there is nothing that can be done since the sister-in-law is overbearing and the eldest brother is honest. Who told him that he has no say in the matter?
Later he moved into this firewood shed, and his eldest brother secretly helped him carry back the straw and tree roots to build the shed.

Whenever he went up the mountain to collect firewood and passed by, he would quietly throw in a cloth bag, a steamed bun, or half a steamed bun. He knew that these must be the food rations that his eldest brother had secretly saved for himself.

He said he blamed his elder brother, but he couldn't.

The eldest brother is still the eldest brother, and he will call him out when he sees him.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

Yang Wen was called by his younger brother, so he moved over and pursed his lips. He said, "Did they say you were officially selected to join the Li family team? It's like escorting. I've heard people say it's a dangerous job. You...be careful out there, don't be so naive and rush forward..."

Yang Wu nodded, "Brother, I know."

If there were no danger, would the wages be so high? Those who chose to go in knew what was going on. They had been training with Ma Biaotou and the others for a month and were very serious. Who would joke about their own lives?
But if something really happened, he would rush forward for the sake of the goods. Who told him to be paid so much?

If you want to earn money, you have to work hard. He worked so hard in the landlord's house, sweating like an ox, but only earned twenty cents a day.

Yang Wen fell silent.

Yang Wu glanced at him and saw that he was standing there without moving. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do you have something to tell me?"

Yang Wen came back to his senses, glanced at his brother quickly, paused, and then said: "Your sister-in-law asked me to ask you to move back—"

Move back home?

Yang Wu understood it instantly. He knew very well what kind of person his sister-in-law was.

Are you jealous because he will be able to earn three taels of silver every month?

Even her mother's family is so petty and wants to bring every stitch and thread home, so how can I just sit there and watch without wanting to take advantage?

She didn't show up herself, but pushed her elder brother to do it. She was trying to see if he would be able to suck her blood obediently for the sake of his elder brother.

Yang Wu didn't think twice and said, "It's nice to live in the woodshed."

Hearing this, Yang Wen nodded, "Anyway, I've said what I want to say. I'll go back first. You take good care of yourself." After that, Yang Wen turned around and left. You could even see that he was relaxed in his steps.

Yang Wu watched him silently for a long time after he walked away, then turned around and went back to the woodshed.

Brother, you will suffer when you get old.

Why does he use the money he earns to support his sister-in-law and nephew? Just wait until he gets old and see what kind of suffering his elder brother has to endure.

Yang Wu had something to calculate in his mind, so he went back to the firewood shed, got the money he had borrowed from Ma Biaotou to buy two cakes, and then went out, went around the back of the village, and headed for Huangjia Village.

Here, Yang Wen returned home.

Ba came up to them excitedly, holding a kitchen knife in hand, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't your brother come with you? Packing up, right? You too, why don't you help him clean up the house?"

Yang Wen looked at the blood on the kitchen knife and silently shrank back, "Awu said that living in the firewood shed is good and he doesn't want to move back."

Sure enough, Ba immediately got furious. "You're not moving back? I've already killed all the chickens! The old hens I've raised for two years are still laying eggs! I don't care, you just bring the people back to me quickly. No matter what method you use, you can't come back unless the people come!"

As he said that, he pushed Yang Wen out of the door and closed it immediately.

The neighbors watched quietly, shaking their heads and pouting.

Yang Wen had no choice but to ask for directions to the end of the village again. When he arrived at the firewood shed, he saw that there was no one inside. He felt relieved and simply went up the mountain.

It would be a good idea for him to pick up some more firewood before the weather gets too cold.

What he wanted was to hide away so that his wife wouldn't force him, and then carry more firewood back in the evening so that his wife would feel less angry.

But he never expected that after stewing the chicken and seeing that he had not returned yet, Mrs. Ba scolded him a lot, took her two sons and ate the chicken herself, without even leaving a mouthful of chicken soup for him.

When he came back in the evening with a large bundle of firewood, he had only a corn bun to eat. Seeing that Ba Shi did not ask about Yang Wu, he was relieved and did not care at all whether he had chicken or not.

Living his life to this point, he just wants to have some peace and quiet.

Yang Wu had no idea that his elder brother was so frustrated. He picked up two bags of pastries and went straight to Huangjia Village to find Huang Yuanshi.

He thought about the family that Huang Yuanshi had asked him to introduce to a son-in-law. Although there had been no reply yet, he had already found a good job and would be able to buy land and build a house in less than two years, so he decided not to take in a son-in-law.

He came here just to tell Huang Yuanshi that no matter whether it succeeded or not, she should just return the letter, although he didn't know which family it was.

In addition to saying this, he also wanted to ask Huang Yuanshi to help him keep an eye out for a suitable girl. It is not possible now, but he will try his best to build a new house in two years so that he can marry a wife.

His mother's spirit in heaven would also want him to get married and have children. It is not good for him to be a son-in-law and live off others.

Huang Yuanshi felt guilty when she saw him. She had told others that she had liked Shi Liu, but she never expected that when the Fan family came to propose marriage, Shi Liu would agree on her own.
The marriage was not going to happen, but Huang Yuan was still thinking of going to his house in a couple of days to return the letter and say that the matter had not been accomplished.

Unexpectedly, Yang Wu came first and also returned the letter.

Huang Yuan asked more questions and found out that he had gone to the Li family to recruit workers. Oh, she quickly suppressed her thoughts and decided not to talk about it anymore. No one would know about it.

She quickly agreed and said that she would definitely look for a good girl for him. Yang Wu is a good guy and can make money now. She believes that there will be no shortage of girls who are willing to marry him.

Yang Wu thanked her very gratefully and said that he would come back to see Huang Yuanshi next time he had a vacation.

Huang Yuan wanted to keep him for dinner, but he refused and left very quickly.

Watching him walk away, Huang Yuan nodded secretly. This honest child with a bad fate would surely get better in the future after joining the Li family to work.
