Traveling through ancient times to survive

There was a sword hanging over his head that could be cut down at any time. With Zhao Decheng's psychological quality, he made mistakes frequently in his work. He was scolded by his superiors every few days. If it weren't for the county magistrate's personal arrangement, he might have been kicked out of the government office by now.

Work was not going well, and when he got home his mother and grandmother were arguing. Zhao Decheng was visibly tired. Home was no longer a place for him to rest and relax. He could only feel a sense of peace when he was numbed by alcohol.

That day, Zhao Decheng came home drunk again. Sun Xiaocao approached him with a flattering look on her face: "My dear grandson, your grandfather has finished his medicine. Can you give him some money to buy medicine?"

"Money, money, money! You only know how to ask for money! I'm the only one who can feed four mouths at home, where can I get any money!"

Zhao Decheng exploded instantly. The money he had was not enough to buy alcohol, so how could he have money to buy medicine?

Sun Xiaocao was trembling with fear after being yelled at by her grandson. For the sake of the old man, she could only swallow her grievances. She said pitifully, "My dear grandson, your grandpa can't stop taking the medicine!"

"You also know that he is just my grandfather! If you want money, go ask his son! If you don't get it, don't eat it. The old man has lived for all these years and it's enough!" Zhao Decheng pushed Sun Xiaocao away and staggered back to the room.

Sun Xiaocao, who stayed where she was, was shocked all over and tears immediately burst out. After crying enough, she wiped her eyes, forced a smile and went back to serve the old man.

The old man in the room also heard his grandson's heart-wrenching words. His eyes were empty. Since he had a stroke, no one except Sun Xiaocao entered his room. His beloved grandson complained that his room smelled bad when he passed by the door, and his daughter-in-law also cursed him all day long, asking why he hadn't died yet.

The old man had been numbed by the stimulation. He did think about committing suicide so as not to burden his wife, but his wife begged him not to give up. The old man could only lie in bed and suffer the double torture of physical and mental torture.

Just when Sun Xiaocao was in despair, Zhao Chengchuan came over with food. After greeting them, Zhao Chengchuan and Sun Xiaocao looked at each other in silence. Zhao Chengchuan was still a little uncomfortable, as this was the first time in so many years that his mother did not start scolding him as soon as they met.

Looking at his thin and old mother, Zhao Chengchuan sighed in his heart. After a while of silence, Zhao Chengchuan took out some silver from his pocket and said, "Mom, take this money and find a doctor for Dad."

Sun Xiaocao burst into tears holding the silver in her hand. She regretted it. Among her three sons, only the middle son who was the most neglected by her was the truly filial one. Unfortunately, she broke the child's heart for two ungrateful people.

"It's retribution! This is all retribution!"

Unfortunately, it was no use regretting. She and the old man were too embarrassed to bother the second son again. All the bitter consequences today were caused by herself and the old man, and they had to endure it no matter how bitter it was.

After Sun Xiaocao went to ask for a doctor, Zhao Chengchuan entered the old man's room and was hit by a foul odor. He ate, drank, defecated and urinated on the bed. Sun Xiaocao couldn't move the old man, and it was difficult to clean him, so you can imagine how bad the smell was.

Zhao Chengchuan remained calm and said, "Dad, I came to see you and give you a wash."

After boiling the water, Zhao Chengchuan didn't care about the dirt on the old man's body and picked up the already skinny old man.

The light weight made Zhao Chengchuan's nose sore. The old man who used to have the final say is now like a child who even needs to rely on others for a bath.

Zhao Chengchuan patiently and carefully washed the old man, changed him into clean clothes, and placed him on a chair in the yard to bask in the sun.

After settling the old man, Zhao Chengchuan went back to the room to continue cleaning up. The old man, who had not opened his eyes since Zhao Chengchuan entered the room, had a flash of light in the corner of his eyes in the sunlight.

The old doctor came over, re-prescribed the medicine, and left without giving any further instructions. After leaving the yard, the old doctor sighed. Even someone who didn't know any medical skills would know that the patient would not live long. Not only did he lose his spirit, but his body was also broken.

Compared with the last time, the patient looked like he was going to die soon. This was the result of his family not taking good care of him. Alas, it was true that he was too old to move, which was a burden to the young people. If his family didn't care, it would be a waste of time for him to remind them.

After Zhao Chengchuan cleaned up the room, he put on clean sheets and quilts, opened the window to let in some fresh air, washed the dirty clothes and quilts, and said to Sun Xiaocao: "Mom, I'm going out to buy some things."

"Hey." Sun Xiaocao nodded hesitantly at Zhao Chengchuan.

After Zhao Chengchuan left, Mrs. Zhao, who was hiding in the room, came out and said, "Oh, you two old men are so lucky. And the second son, the victim, came to see you. How much money did the second son give you? Take it out quickly."

"This is what my son gave me!" Sun Xiaocao refused to give it to her. Sun Xiaocao, who used to have a bad temper, no longer dared to act like a mother-in-law to Zhao Dasao. During this period, Zhao Dasao went from swearing at her at the beginning to hitting her directly later.

After several attempts, Zhao Decheng ignored her, so Mrs. Zhao went even further and vented all the grievances she had suffered from previous oppression.

Sun Xiaocao quickly realized the reality and did not dare to resist Mrs. Zhao at all. Only now that her son was here did she feel a little more confident.

"I'm dying, why do I need money? You might as well buy me some delicious food to nourish Cheng Geer."

"That unfilial son doesn't deserve to eat meat!" Sun Xiaocao's eyes turned red with anger. It would have been fine if she didn't mention Zhao Decheng. As soon as she mentioned him, Sun Xiaocao thought of what had happened in the past few days. She was abused by her daughter-in-law, and Zhao Decheng not only didn't care, but also complained that she was noisy and brought shame to the neighbors.

Over the years, she and the old man had been so sincere that they had spoiled a child like this, and they had actually spoiled a cold-blooded monster who didn't recognize his relatives! It was all their fault for being blind. They shouldn't have spoiled the good ones instead of the bad ones. This was God's punishment for them!

"You are not worthy of eating meat. My son is an official!"

"Humph, that's a heartless monster! Now he can watch me being bullied by you coldly, and he will also watch you being bullied in the future!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Zhao looked a little flustered, but soon regained her composure. She believed that her precious son would not ignore her. Although she didn't know where her confidence came from, Mrs. Zhao firmly believed it.

"You will definitely get your retribution!" Sun Xiaocao stared at Mrs. Zhao with wide eyes.

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she stepped forward and slapped him: "You old woman, how dare you curse me! I'm very good to my son, unlike you. You even drove your own son away when he was dying. Which mother is as cruel as you? It's right for my son to ignore you. This is what you deserve!"

Sun Xiaocao felt a sharp pain in her heart. She covered her face and cried. At the same time, the old man leaning on the chair moved his lips but could not make any sound.

However, there is no medicine for regret in this world. You reap what you sow, and you have to bear the consequences yourself.
