Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 382
He Jian Country felt his father’s words were too harsh: "Dad, both Third Brother and I are your sons, how can you be so biased?"
Mr. He widened his eyes: "You’re saying I’m biased?
Second Brother, speak with your conscience, who am I biased towards?"
He Jian Country wasn’t feeling happy inside and spoke without restraint: "During the division of the property, you gave Third Brother an extra storage room, isn’t that favoritism?
He hasn’t even gotten married yet, and you know very well that our second family also has two kids to raise, so why can’t you consider us sons who are already married?"
Mr. He was so angry he clutched his chest: "Second Brother, do you have any conscience left?
Back then, if it weren’t for Third Brother, it was uncertain whether the whole family would survive, and don’t forget where your current job came from. No one at home spoke up for you, but you jumped out first."
His disappointed gaze fixed on the second son standing there with a face that seemed to believe he was right: "Your mother and I are old now and can’t manage you anymore. Anyway, the family is already divided. Be wise on your own. You should know Third Brother’s temper well; you’d better not provoke him. If one day you get put in your place, don’t come to us. You may leave now."
He Jian Country, having been disgraced by his own father, was somewhat angry: "Third Brother didn’t grow up with you and Mom. No matter how much you protect him, he’s not close to you. You better think it through."
Mr. He was so angry he was a bit unsteady on his feet, and he grasped the table before sitting down: "You may have grown up with us, but how are you treating us now? Among the sons and daughters in the family, you have benefited the most, but what are you doing now?"
He Jian Country, filled with a sense of grievance from who knows where, said: "Yes, I came back to the city because of your job, but do you know how much hardship I endured during the years I was sent to the countryside? You only acknowledge Third Brother’s contributions to the family, but what about me? What do my years in the countryside count for?"
Mr. He hadn’t expected his second son to have such thoughts: "Do you not understand why it was you who went to the countryside?
Moreover, during those years you were in the countryside, the family tightened their belts every month to send you money and tickets, hoping you would live better in the countryside. Where is your grievance coming from?"
At this moment, He Jiefang and He Yuejin walked into the courtyard. As the eldest brother, He Jiefang’s face sank: "Second Brother, although your wife often causes trouble, as the older brother, I always think a harmonious family is the key to success, even if I’m not pleased. But now it seems, you are the mastermind. You really know how to scheme."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard He Yuejin continue: "Second Brother, you’ve really gone too far this time. We’re blood-related brothers, yet for your own benefit, you disregard our brotherhood."
He Jian Country was now full of shame and anger, finding it unbearable to stay any longer, he yelled: "You know nothing, how dare you lecture me?
Yelling done, he ran out.
Mr. He shook his head: "How did he turn out like this?"
He Yuejin poured a glass of water for both his parents: "Dad, don’t be too angry, you still have us."
Mr. He sighed lightly, a face full of self-reproach: "Yuejin, this house has aired out enough, so let’s get your marriage arranged soon, don’t delay it any longer."
He Yuejin glanced at Mother He on the bed and his big brother standing to the side: "Dad, my father-in-law has already agreed. If you’re not busy these days, find someone to pick an auspicious date, so I can report back to my father-in-law."
Mother He, who had been having a headache from the second son’s words, listened to the youngest son’s marriage plans and mustered her spirits: "Yuejin, did your father-in-law set any conditions?"
He Yuejin scratched his head: "My situation is known by my father-in-law, following the normal procedures is enough, no other conditions were set."
Mother He, hearing her youngest son’s words, got a bit excited and stopped lying down: "I’ve already had someone make your wedding quilt. Once your house is ready, move in. If anything’s missing, go shopping with Yueyue and pick what she likes."
He Yuejin nodded: "Got it, Mom."
Mr. He looked up at his youngest son: "Your father-in-law put in a lot of effort for your job, so pay more attention to things over there."
