Chapter 173 Who dares to split the family before I say anything?
Yun Duo was about to answer when she was interrupted by Yun Hai who came over after hearing the crying. "Mr. Wu, don't you feel guilty for asking a child like this? Our village didn't say that we don't care about Er Zhu! Er Zhu can't walk, but my family has a carriage, and we can let Er Zhu ride in our carriage. We can also put the items that Er Zhu usually carries in it."
Wu Erzhu looked at Yunhai gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Yun! Mom, you don't have to worry this time. Doctor Yun let me ride in his carriage. Even if Xiaoya Niang has to take care of me in the future, I don't know if my leg can be healed. I'm afraid I can't do heavy work with my leg in the future. You, Dad, and Sizhu will have to work hard at home in the future."
Old Lady Wu Er said sternly, "What did you say? I, Sizhu, am going to take the imperial examination, how can I do those rough jobs? Your father and I are old now, and we raised you from childhood, and now you want us to support your family?"
Wu Erzhu scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, old woman."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Doctor Yun and asked, "Doctor Yun, can my son Erzhu's short legs be cured? Will he be disabled even if he is cured?"
Yunhai was confused. "Who told you that Erzhu's broken leg can't be healed?"
Old lady Wu Er said sharply, "Doctor Yun, please don't hide it from us. Look at how Erzhu's leg is wrapped up. It's broken. Even if it heals, it will become a broken bone, right?"
Erzhu's wife felt very uncomfortable after hearing what her mother-in-law said. She looked at her biased parents-in-law and couldn't help but said, "Mom, even if Erzhu's leg can't be healed in the future, I will take care of him. He was chopped by the bandits because he was trying to make money for our family. Before we went, we agreed that we were volunteers. If something happens, we can't look for Master Cheng and Miss Yun.
Now that Doctor Yun and his family have not ignored us and have allowed Erzhu to ride in the carriage, we should be grateful.
If you are afraid that the head of the family will bring trouble to the whole family, then why don't you separate our family? Xiaoya and I will carry our things together. We will definitely not bring trouble to you, Dad, and Sizhu." After saying that, she turned around and held Wu Erzhu's hand.
Erzhu's wife was comforting him with tears streaming down her face.
She knew that Erzhu's leg injury and leaving the family would make life very difficult for the three of them, but she could no longer tolerate the injustice and indifference of her parents-in-law. She would rather bear the burden of life alone and protect her husband and children.
"Divide? You said it, daughter-in-law Erzhu, so don't regret it. If you want to divide the family, then go ahead. Don't count on us in the future..."
The old lady Wu Er secretly felt lucky that the proposal to divide the family was made by Erzhu's wife, so they could agree to it as a matter of course. Anyway, if the family was not divided, her son would not be able to do the heavy work, so it would be better for the three of them to separate and live separately.
I was afraid that my son would split up the family because my son and daughter-in-law were both capable and were the main labor force in the family. If they split up, there would be no one to work.
However, the situation is different now. It is still unknown whether Erzhu's leg injury can recover. The old couple still have to take care of Sizhu, and they also hope that their second son will pass the imperial examination so that she can benefit from it in the future!
However, she seemed to have forgotten an important fact - her eldest son was also her biological son, and her second son was no longer a child. In ancient times, he could start a family and live independently at the age of 15.
"Shut up, everyone. Who dares to divide the family property before I say anything?" Wu Erzhu looked solemn and shouted at his old wife.
At this time, Wu Er felt sorry for his son, after all, he was his own son. He looked at his eldest son, whose legs were wrapped like dumplings, and felt guilty.
He had been weak and incompetent all his life. When he was young, he listened to his elder brother. After he got married, he listened to his wife again. He had no opinion of his own. This time, he also stood up for once. Wu Er felt that at this moment, he was truly proud of himself. He could make his own decisions instead of being suppressed by his wife everywhere.
The second old woman was frightened by Wu Er's loud scolding. The old man who had always been honest actually dared to scold her loudly in front of so many people today.
"You old man, you are really thinking the opposite, how dare you..."
"Just shut up right there, or I'll divorce you."
The second wife was about to cry, make a scene, or even hang herself as usual, but Wu Er's words stopped her in her tracks. She held back the rest of her words.
"Erzhu, Erzhu's wife, don't worry. As long as dad is here, he will not let you separate. Your leg was injured for this family. No matter how your leg is, dad will not drive you out. Erzhu, come, dad will carry you out, and we will go to where we will stay at the foot of the mountain." Wu Er glared at the old woman angrily, saying, "Get out, it's embarrassing."
Erzhu's wife was so moved that she pulled Wu Xiaoya and knelt in front of Wu Er, "Wow! Thank you, Dad!" "Thank you, Grandpa!"
"I'm sorry to have wronged you. Good children, hurry up and stand up! We are all family, don't kneel down at every turn."
Wu Erzhu thought that this time his father would listen to his mother and separate them from the family as usual!
His mother's behavior made him feel very disappointed, but his father made him feel warm. "Dad, Doctor Yun said that my leg is not injured. I will be able to walk in ten days or half a month."
The second wife, who did not leave immediately, heard that Erzhu's leg was not broken and said awkwardly, "Erzhu! Your leg is not broken, why didn't you tell me? Look, I misunderstood!"
"Mother started crying as soon as she came in, and didn't even give her son a chance to say no. I thought she was going to force her son to be like Brother Dazhu?" Wu Erzhu said coldly.
The second old woman was choked by Wu Erzhu and stopped talking.
Yun Duo originally thought that the Wu family was extremely partial, but she didn't expect that this was a hereditary trait of the Wu family. Both wives were so partial. Fortunately, Wu Er was still a little humane and not as good as Wu Da.
Yunhai also looked at Wu Er with satisfaction, "Wu Er, we are not leaving today. Don't move Erzhu yet. Let him recover here. Let his wife and children stay to take care of him. You guys go back and listen to the village's arrangements."
"Okay, okay, then my wife and I will go back first. Erzhu's wife, Xiaoya, you stay here to take care of Erzhu first. When we set off, Dad will carry you on his back." After saying that, he sternly said to the old woman behind him, "Are you still not leaving?"
