Struggle in Ancient Times

Fortunately, the student thought the real Liao Tingyu’s eldest brother must be busy at home and sent a messenger. It must be important thing, so he planned to tell Liao Tingyu after class.

Luckily, his second class was with Liao Tingyu, “Teacher Liao, wait a moment. Someone asked me to bring you a message.”
Liao Tingyu was very surprised, “Someone sent me a message? Who was it? What did they say?”
The student said, “I don’t know him. I met him at the door when I came to the school today. He was tall and strong man with tan skin. He asked me to tell you that your eldest brother asked you to go home for something.”

Liao Tingyu frowned, the man was tall, strong and had tan skin. This… isn’t exactly what his big brother? But why would he say something like that? He came here so early, there must be something wrong in the home.
Liao Tingyu felt it was weird, he thanked the student, “Thank you. You can go first.”
While returning to his room, Liao Tingyu looked at his schedule and found he was free of class in the afternoon. But tomorrow, he had a morning class.

He met Teacher Zhou on the way and said, “Teacher Zhou, do you have no class tomorrow morning?”
Teacher Zhou was teaching the same subject as him, he nodded, “What’s wrong?”
“Something happened at my home. I have to rush back now, so I may not be able to make it tomorrow morning. If I don’t come back, can you help with my class?”

Teacher Zhou didn’t mind, “Okay, I will take care of it for you. I have one the day after tomorrow, you can cover it for me later.”
Liao Tingyu nodded, “Yes, thank you Teacher Zhou.”
.

After done taking care of his class, Liao Tingyu rushed to pack up and drove back home using an ox cart.
At this time, there was a quarrel inside his house. When mother Deng woke up and found out her eldest son was gone, she asked Wen Xiuer. Then, she knew Liao Shi had gone to the town and wanted to find Liao Tingyu.
This was a big problem for mother Deng, Liao Shi dared to bother Liao Tingyu in the town. Next time, he might do something daring and didn’t even tell her.

When Liao Shi came back, he saw mother Deng sat in the main room with Liao Ming; both of them had bad face.
“Eldest, what are you doing in the town? You shouldn’t bother your younger brother.” Liao Ming was very angry at his eldest son’s ignorance. He was worried about his youngest son’s job in the town, if the eldest bothered the school and annoyed the student or teacher. Liao Tingyu might be implicated and lost his job; this would be a huge blow to their family.
When he thought about it, Liao Ming who rarely got angry at home, threw a bowl and roared, “tell me. You don’t want your younger brother to be successful?? Is that why you wanted to destroy him??”

Liao Shi regretted his rushed action on the way back. After all, the income from Liao Tingyu’s job had improved their family condition.
Liao Ming got angry and Liao Shi didn’t dare to reply, it was his fault for being anxious.
Mother Deng was startled, she didn’t dare to add more fuel to Liao Ming’s fire but she was very uncomfortable with the situation. She looked at Wen Xiuer coldly, it was all this bitch’s fault.
Wen Xiuer felt mother Deng’s deadly glare, she trembled and muttered slowly, “Father, mother, my husband didn’t do anything. He missed his younger brother so he went there to take a look.”

“Don’t you think you have seen it enough before? Why didn’t I know that he missed his little brother so much? What on earth are you planning to do!!”
Liao Ming looked at his daughter-in-law who didn’t realized the trouble she had caused and still dared to reasoning with them.
“You stupid woman, how much hatred do you have against my family? After so many years of marriage, you just got lucky with the pregnancy. The daughter-in-law of other family takes good care of their husband’s family inside and out. What about you? Do you know how to serve your father and mothers-in-law? You have been treating yourself as a madam since you were pregnant. Your mother-in-law was washing and cooking, what are you doing? We only let you feed the chicken and duck; you even sit down under the shade. Do you think you are a delicate thing?” Liao Ming paused a bit to take a breath and continued,

“Let me tell you, if you are so shameless, a daughter-in-law like you should have been divorced long ago. You still enjoyed the life here, who gave you the courage!!”
Wen Xiuer was dumbfounded by Liao Ming’s scolding; she knelt down on the ground with her big belly.
“Father… I didn’t, I didn’t. I just…”

No matter what she said, Wen Xiuer couldn’t explain it. Although, mother Deng wasn’t good to her but she was considered to be kind. It was because of their tolerant, she didn’t have to be worried about being abandoned. She almost ruined his brother-in-law’s future for her own selfish desires.
It was all her fault; this was because of her.
