Traveling through ancient times to survive
Chapter 182 Taking advantage of the loophole
Zhao Chengshan snorted in his heart. Now every household in the village has changed a lot. They can get rich just by hunting. Only his family is still working hard on farming. The old man is still ignorant and arrogant. In fact, he has been excluded from the center of the village. Why is he still struggling? Anyway, no matter what he says, the old man won't listen. Why is he wasting his breath?
Zhao Chengshan said nonchalantly, "Dad, what can happen to me? I can eat, drink, run and jump. I don't want to live too comfortably. You are just overthinking. How dare I show you a bad face? Who am I? Does anyone in this family care about me? Do I have the guts to be angry with you?"
Although he thought he didn't care, his words couldn't help but sound a little aggrieved. Zhao Chengshan sighed inwardly, thinking that his cultivation was still not good enough, and his mentality was still a little unstable. This was not good, and he had to correct it in the future.
It was a bolt from the blue, and the old man was hit hard. The eldest son was blaming him, right? But he obviously valued his eldest son the most!
Zhao Yuanmu's mind was blank. He had worked hard all his life and finally raised three sons and a daughter. Now, two of his three sons were dissatisfied with him.
One of them has completely stopped communicating with the family, and the remaining one appears to be filial but is actually only willing to listen to his daughter-in-law. The only daughter's life and death is unknown.
Was he such a failure in his life? None of his three sons were sincere to him. Zhao Yuanmu looked depressed, and most of his energy and spirit were gone.
Sun Xiaocao was so anxious that she shed tears. While supporting her husband who was about to fall, she cursed at Zhao Chengshan: "You unfilial son! You won't stop until your father is pissed off to death, right?"
Zhao Chengshan looked at the old man's face which seemed to have aged a lot. His nose felt sore and he felt sad, but he couldn't get over it.
"It's my fault. I won't come here to be hated by others."
Zhao Chengshan turned around and walked out the door. When he came to the village entrance, he stared at the lively martial arts arena in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking, but from then on he became even more silent, living like a shadow.
After Zhao Chengshan left, the atmosphere in the house became even more tense. Zhao Chenghe's two children didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being scolded. Zhao Chenghe himself was even more uneasy. He wanted to comfort the old man, but unfortunately he was too tongue-tied to know what to say and could only look at the old man nervously.
Mrs. Zhao San has always been a little clever. She keenly realized that as a daughter-in-law, no matter whether she helped or not at this time, the old man would not be grateful to her. Instead, he would blame her for instigating the relationship between father and son. She couldn't be the first to do so.
Mrs. Zhao was even more cowardly. Her husband's change made her feel uneasy. She wanted to care about her husband but he ignored her words.
No matter whether she spoke kindly or threw a tantrum like before, her husband ignored her and did not respond at all. He was frighteningly calm.
As a result, Mrs. Zhao has become much more obedient in the past few months and lives in fear of being divorced.
Even Zhao Decheng, who always cared about his own comfort without caring about other people's lives, became quiet. The whole house was filled with Sun Xiaocao's angry shouts.
"What do you mean, Boss? I've had a miserable life. I raised such an ungrateful kid, and now he's showing his disdain to me! I've been so caring to him all my life, but now he's become a grudge. Even a dog knows how to wag its tail! He's so heartless, worse than a pig or a dog! I should have strangled him to death when he was born, which would have been better than making my parents angry to death now!"
The old man felt uncomfortable for a long time, then said self-deprecatingly, "Old lady, that's enough. We two old people are getting old and are hindering the younger ones. From now on, we two just need to live a good life. Our children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We worry too much and become annoying."
Zhao Chenghe suddenly looked up: "Dad, what do you mean?"
The old man sneered and said angrily, "What do you mean? It means that you can be the masters of your own house. You are about to get rid of these two burdens. Aren't you happy?"
Zhao Chenghe was anxious. He pointed to the sky and swore, "Dad, what are you talking about? I have never thought of this before. If there is even a trace of falsehood in this, I will be struck by lightning!"
The old man's expression became much better: "Okay, whether you live a good or bad life in the future has nothing to do with me and your mother. You should just do the same as the second brother and give us enough money for retirement every year. We two old guys won't live for many more years, so we don't need much respect from you."
The joy in Zhao Sansao's heart could hardly be suppressed, and she said something pleasant in a good mood: "Dad, don't curse yourself, you and mom will live a long life!"
The two brothers of the Zhao family divided up the property in such a frivolous way. When Zhao Chengshan returned home and received the notice, he was stunned for only a moment but soon regained his composure and calmly accepted the reality.
After the family split up, Zhao Decheng disappeared for a few days. As his father, Zhao Chengshan didn't take it to heart at all, and Zhao's wife didn't dare to say anything.
Zhao Yuanmu and his wife, who were already disheartened and had not yet recovered, did not pay any attention to their once proud eldest grandson. The third branch was still immersed in the joy of being the master of the family, so how could they pay attention to the person they disliked?
No one noticed that Zhao Decheng had done something that changed the fate of the old house. From then on, those who remained in the village lived under the strange gazes of everyone and became the rats crossing the street in the entire village.
On Zhao Qing's side, Li Heng was the first to know about the immoral things Zhao Decheng had done. Ever since his revenge, Li Heng and his men have been working wholeheartedly for Zhao Qing.
After arriving in Lingnan, Li Heng immediately contacted the officials who had been exiled there. Those people were still full of enthusiasm, and fortunately the people of Lingnan did not let them down.
Some of them taught and integrated into the local people, and the people were grateful and spread their wisdom.
In a remote and impoverished place like Lingnan, the officials selected to go here were no less than exiled by the imperial court. Those who did not want to stay here had already found ways to be transferred away, and the officials who were still willing to stay here could be said to have different ideas from those corrupt officials.
They don't want to go along with the crowd and want to develop Lingnan, but what Lingnan lacks is capable people. They are eager to recruit talents, and now that they know that there are like-minded friends coming from afar, they are ecstatic and immediately accept them as their own.
Who cares whether it is legal or not? The imperial court doesn't look down on this place either. Even if they are discovered by the imperial court, there is no need to worry, because they have no organization on the surface. They can be said to be reforming criminals, making full use of their talents, and allowing criminals to make meritorious contributions while serving their sentences.
Therefore, the officials who were once exiled have now mastered all aspects of Lingnan, and among them there are many officials who are on good terms with Li Heng's father, and there are even close people who were exiled for pleading for Li Heng's father.
