The old lady narrowed her eyes, stared at the house, and started to make up her mind.

The third brother’s family must be afraid of death, especially since they have made so much money. Who would not want to live? They should have gone up the mountain long ago to avoid this disaster.

After all, the third son is his own biological son, so there is nothing wrong with going to their house to take a look. If there are good things, just take them and regard them as a gift to himself.

The eldest brother felt anxious when he saw that his mother had not said anything about leaving.

"Mom, don't waste time."

The old lady stretched out her finger and pointed at the door of the third son's house.

"Go in and see if there's anything good. If there is, take it."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned. The house had been divided for so long, how could someone go in and take things? How was that any different from stealing?

The old lady is still here thinking that the third son will turn a blind eye to such behavior and endure it silently. However, their family has a plaque bestowed by the county magistrate, and they are no longer of the same kind.

The second son thought that what his mother said was very much to his liking. There was always the smell of meat wafting from their kitchen. He didn't wear clothes like a farmer and was very conspicuous wherever he went. He had disliked him for a long time, and today was a good opportunity.

"Brother, what do you think?"

The eldest brother realized what was going on and decided to take it. It would be a waste if he didn’t take it. They were all brothers, so there was no room for argument.

But there were so many people around that it was difficult to do it. At that time, the separation of the family had caused a lot of noise, and everyone knew about it.

Now when I go to the third brother's house to get something, I will be in public and no one will talk about me.

The second brother didn't want to do it. If he could let others do it, he would just be a spectator. Even if he got something good, he would definitely have a share of it.

After all, if it was given by my mother, I would use it to honor her. Then, if I get permission, I would be able to use it myself.

Seeing the eldest brother's doubts, "We have to go in when there are many people around. Otherwise, if there is no one around, it would be stealing."

The second brother's words helped the eldest brother resolve his worries, and it was obvious that the wrinkles between his eyebrows had faded a lot.

"Besides, everyone in the village knows that we are brothers. As long as we go in openly, there will be no problem. No one will say anything bad about us. They will only praise the Third Brother for being magnanimous and for not holding grudges. We get something and he gets a good reputation. It's a win-win for both sides, so what can't we do?"

My second brother is really good at talking. He says that taking other people's things is beneficial to others. He is really good at confusing right and wrong.

But after hearing him say that, I felt much better and it also gave me a good excuse to go in.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up."

The old lady couldn't wait any longer. She thought of so many good things in such a beautiful house. She was rubbing her hands together and staring at the eldest and second sons, her eyes full of anticipation.

If my legs and feet were not so weak, I would have been the first to rush in.

After hearing what his mother said and being instigated by his second brother, the eldest brother couldn't wait to walk to the door, but a door lock blocked his way.

This did not pose a problem for him. He pulled up a piece of dogtail grass from the ground and trimmed the hairy part. He found the root was very thin and hard, and was a great tool for unlocking locks.

When I was a kid, I studied it with my friends and opened several locks. But when I got back, I was beaten by the old man. I didn’t expect that it would come in handy today.

The boss pushed it straight in and saw that he was concentrating and holding his breath with a frown. He kept turning the dogtail grass in his hand. Suddenly, his brows relaxed, and with a click, the padlock was opened.

Passersby on the road all looked at this place and thought that this group of people was a little strange.

But the third child, the eldest child and the second child all came from the same mother, so outsiders can't say anything. They should just mind their own business and not worry about other people's problems.

The braver ones came closer to take a look and asked, "What are you doing?"

The old lady didn't give this man a good look and lay on the ground with a very aggressive look.

"It's none of your business, go away."

The man's eyes widened and he felt a surge of anger at the old lady's scolding.

"Since you are old and lying on a stretcher, I won't bother with you."

Take a few steps forward.

"But Boss Niu, why did you pick the lock of the third brother's door?"

Seeing that the matter was about to be exposed, the second brother quickly pulled the person aside.

"Calm down, the third brother forgot to bring something, so he sent someone to tell us to bring it for him."

The man stared at the second brother in disbelief for a while and was deceived by his extremely sincere eyes.

The third brother is really generous. He recognizes such a relative. I don’t have such magnanimity.

It’s not right to interfere in other people’s family affairs, so you’d better go and tell the third brother as soon as possible.

The second brother shouted to everyone, "Go away, go away, it's okay."

The old lady hates to hear people say she is old, because it means she is not far from death.

He stared at the man's back viciously, as if he wanted to poke a hole in him with his eyes.

"You are old, so you are on a stretcher."

Fortunately, the man was nimble and walked fast, otherwise he would have been hit by the pebbles picked up by the old lady.

The second son was afraid of causing any more trouble, so he blocked his mother's view.

Half-jokingly, he said, "Why are you acting like a child?"

He gave the boss another look, signaling him to go in quickly.

Pushing open the door, you can see the whole yard without any fence blocking your view. It must be very comfortable to live in such a spacious yard.

He looked in every room and searched every place where things could be placed, not even sparing a fly.

In the end, he found nothing and walked out dejected.

The old lady turned sideways with difficulty and looked inside, thinking that there must be a lot of good things, after all, the third brother had made a lot of money.

You can't take everything with you when you go up the mountain, so it would be best if you could have some clothes, quilts, etc. At worst, some rags will do. I don't care.

Seeing the boss coming out empty-handed, his expression changed suddenly, and the expectation in his eyes turned into anger.

"Pfft, what a stingy person you are."

Jinshui covered his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He was very satisfied with the result. Fortunately, his uncle took all the things in the house away, otherwise grandma would have gotten them for free.

The old lady was upset. The more she looked at the house, the more she disliked it. Why could he live in such a good place while she was squeezed in a cramped little house that leaked rain and drafts.

"Boss, this house is not strong enough. If there is a flood, it will collapse."

The eldest son didn’t understand what his mother meant. It looked quite solid and reliable, but it was an adobe house after all. If the water was a little bit higher, it might really collapse.

"possible."

The old lady rolled her eyes at the eldest brother, not understanding the implication at all, and insisted that he make the words clear.

"Then make this possibility a little bigger."

The eldest brother couldn't hide his shocked expression, and his wide-open mouth took a long time to close. Before that, he was just a little jealous that his third brother lived in such a nice house.

Now that my mother has allowed me to cause some damage, I feel secretly happy.
