"No, mother, I have never thought about it that way. You asked me to be my seventh brother's companion, and you saw that I was a bit shorter than my seventh brother. But in fact, it was my mother who favored me. She let me out to broaden my horizons and let me

I have the opportunity to come into contact with more things... and at that time, my wife had just died, and I would only be laughed at if I stayed in the village. My mother didn't want those gossips to fall on me, so she let me go out."

Ye Yuran shook his head gently: "So what? No matter how many reasons there are, you can't stop it that you are a companion reader and you are taking care of your own brother. You are not familiar with the place and there is no one to help you...

...You are only a little older yourself, and you have to take care of another brother who is younger than you. Only you know the hardships. Others only think that you are drinking and eating spicy food outside, which seems to be a good thing, but

Behind the scenery is the grievance that you endured, knocked out your teeth and swallowed in your belly..."

How can it be easy for a person to work hard outside?

No matter how smart Zhu San was, he was only in his early twenties at the time and was still a young man with no experience.

His ability to grow to this day is all due to countless times of forbearance.

"Mom, how can we be so wronged? When we were studying in Anjiu Town, you took us there in person; when we arrived in Pushou City, you took us there in person... You arranged everything before handing us over.

It's in my hands." Zhu San said with emotion, "I'm not wronged at all. On the contrary, I'm very lucky. If my mother hadn't chosen me to be my seventh brother's companion and asked me to come out, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today."

"But if it weren't for my mother's partiality and let the youngest Lao Qi study instead of choosing the smart one, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today." In the final analysis, she chose Zhu Qi instead of Zhu San. It was actually partiality.

Because she selfishly felt that Zhu Qi was a "fool" and had a photographic memory, she wanted to arrange a way out for Zhu Qi so that he could be self-reliant.

He was also afraid that Zhu Qi would be "bullied" if he studied alone outside, so he chose Zhu San, the smartest among the brothers, to be his companion. He said he was "taking care of" him, but in fact he was "serving" Zhu Qi.

What Zhu San did, to put it bluntly, far exceeded the responsibility of a brother.

"Mom is indeed partial to the seventh brother," Zhu San smiled and said, "But I am also partial. When I was a child, I was partial to the fourth and fifth brothers. I even opposed the eldest brother and the second brother. I despised the seventh brother for being a fool and was unwilling to take care of him.

He...I later took care of him because I owed him and what I should do. Moreover, I served as his companion, which seemed like I was taking care of him, but in fact I also benefited from him a lot."

If Ye Yuran hadn't wanted to give Zhu Qimou a way out, even if he had to pick people to study, he probably wouldn't be able to pick a few of his brothers, right?

According to the situation of the Zhu family at that time, Dabao and Erbao were more promising.

However, in Zhu Qi's situation, no parent would want to "favour" him. This was something Zhu San gradually realized after he became a father himself - occasionally, he wanted to favor the four treasures, and he was also worried about the four treasures.

My brother and his wife are not good to the four treasures.

However, in fact, the fourth brother and his wife did better than he thought. As long as the three treasures are available, the four treasures will never be lacking.

Even Ye Yuran was worried that Si Bao would be trapped between the third and second bedrooms, so he made plans for Si Bao early on and secretly saved a share of the family business for him.

She privately told Zhu San, Zhu Si, and Li that they should not worry about the Four Treasures, and she had already prepared them.

In front of Xu Yujin, some things were difficult to tell directly, so Zhu San had to pick up other things, while Ye Yuran "partially" spoke about his own matters.

Zhu San said: "Ten fingers have different lengths. It's normal for my mother to be partial. She has never denied this, but she is also trying to balance and try her best to hold the bowl of water as level as possible. She gave some to us brothers.

The arrangement is also based on the abilities of our brothers."

"Like the eldest brother and the second brother, they are suitable for farming, so my mother built an experimental farm for them and forced them to do experiments and records while farming, and become agricultural researchers."

"Fourth brother doesn't like to study, but he likes to eat. My mother asked people to collect various recipes and ingredients, and gave them to the fourth brother, so that he could toss them by himself. If he put them in other people's homes, the fourth brother would know how to eat them, so he would not be disliked.

Even if he dies, my mother supports him and praises him for being a natural gourmet. Maybe our Yao family’s food recipes will depend on him in the future.”

"The fifth brother suffered the disadvantage of being young. He was not chosen as a companion when he was a reading companion. Later, it was not his turn to handle the big and small things at home, so he secretly got some things by himself. After my mother found out, not only was she not angry, but she would also show up from time to time.

She taught him what to do, and gave him the recipe for chess and card design, asking him to make a skillful workshop..."

"To say that the one who is most partial is probably Bamei. My mother has pampered her since she was a child. When she was older, she made her learn how to do business, learn to manage Zhu's Academy, and be responsible for planning activities...My mother gave Bamei a lot to learn from.

I gave you the opportunity to teach her step by step, because mother knows that you can’t keep your eighth sister for a few years. You are afraid that she will be bullied when she gets married, so you would rather teach her better. In this way, no matter where she goes in the future, she will not

You will suffer a loss."

…

Even now, Zhu San has clearly become a "lucky man" in the eyes of others. He married a daughter of a wealthy family and became a county magistrate. He is simply a winner in life.

But such a person is still a "victim" in Ye Yuran's eyes.

"Unknowingly, I already have so many things, but in mother's eyes, I am still the child you sacrificed," Zhu San said with tears in his eyes, "Mom, I don't even know what virtues I have.

How lucky I am to be your son."

Ye Yuran said: "Everything you have is the result of your own efforts, and you deserve it. My mother is also very happy, and she doesn't know how many incense she burned in her previous life to have such a promising son like you."

.”

"If there is a next life, I still want to be your son."

"Okay, if there is a next life, I will be your mother again." But this time, I hope that I can come earlier, preferably before you are born, and create a world for you.

In this way, you don't have to suffer those hardships when you were a child, and you just need to grow up happily.

After so many years, Ye Yuran has a lot of emotions.

For the first time, she felt that she was lucky to have traveled to this world and become someone else's mother after being so many years old. This was a son that she could have picked up for free without having to give birth to her. They were still so obedient and filial. How wonderful it was.

ah.

Xu Yujin did not disturb the tenderness between mother and son. She stayed quietly beside it, acting as a background wall.

She knew that her mother-in-law had been working hard all her life, and she would occasionally lament her mother-in-law's hard work from Zhu San, but it was not until today that she suddenly realized what the charm of her mother-in-law was.

Maybe the mother-in-law is biased, maybe the mother-in-law has such a terrible reputation outside, but in the final analysis, isn't everything she does done for her children?

She has a loving mother's heart towards every child and hopes they can be better.
