Chapter 5: Worry
Hearing Xiao Tao mention his eldest brother, Zhao Rong was also stunned. He never thought that Xiao Tao would say such a thing. After all, in his impression, from childhood to adulthood, when he grows up, he will inherit the family business and become the head of the Zhao family.
Why didn't he think that no one outside thought that he would be the next head of the Zhao family, but his older brother was the next head of the Zhao family. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Xiao Tao, is what you said true?"
Seeing that his young master was so surprised, Xiao Tao certainly knew why he heard himself say this and behaved so fiercely. He nodded affirmatively, and immediately agreed.
"Young master, that's how it is. That eldest brother came to the Zhao family to find us at the behest of those two palace young masters. There was no need for him to lie in front of us. After all, these things he said should be widely believed by everyone outside, and there is no need to lie at all. I just have to go out and ask and I'll find out. “
Although Xiao Tao said so, he actually knew very well in his heart that it was difficult for the servants in this courtyard to go outside if they were fine. Moreover, they have to explain clearly how long they go out and where they go, and the mother-in-law who opens the door at the gate of the courtyard can control everyone strictly. Don't let them hang out or have the opportunity to communicate with others.
But now Xiao Tao can't take care of it so much, he can only grit his teeth and make sure to implement this matter, so that the young master can really realize that his situation in the Zhao family is already very bad. So he said it directly, and he could know the news when he went outside to inquire. Although she may not be able to do it herself, Xiao Tao feels that the eldest brother is here to help them, and there is no need to lie to them at all. Besides, what's in it for the big brother to tell such a lie?
The current Xiao Tao must seize any possible opportunity so that his young master can recognize the situation in front of him. Sure enough, after hearing him say this, Zhao Rong immediately put away the uncertain expression just now, and his face became ugly. Hearing Xiao Tao say this, he also realized that with his current situation, there was no need at all, and someone deliberately came to Zhao's house to deceive himself with these things.
But knowing these things, Zhao Rong's mind was even more chaotic. He didn't know how to react. The difficulty is that the inherent thinking of more than ten years was suddenly broken, and someone suddenly told him that his father and mother did things that hurt his interests in the name of doing good for him. How could she accept it all at once?
Besides, in fact, in Zhao Rong's heart, he felt that the position of the [31] lord of the Zhao family was actually not so attractive. What he actually wants more is to be able to learn things from books and then go to the outside world to have a good time. See things he's never seen before, and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery.
In Zhao Rong's opinion, the happiest life he had, except for the years when he was a child, he had to say that he went to the provincial capital a few days ago and traveled with his second brother.
In addition to these two periods, he felt that he was really depressed at home, and he did not have a little freedom. And the most important thing is that when he is at home, he does not have that time to communicate with the rest of the family. Even during the New Year's holidays, I rarely have the opportunity to say a word or two with those brothers and sisters. Even if he said a few more words to his own sister, his mother was always able to pay special attention to his movements.
So over time, Zhao Rong actually doesn't have deep feelings for his family. Now at home, his biggest concern is probably his grandmother. It was also from childhood to adulthood that his grandmother always looked at him with that kind and caring gaze, as if she was his most precious treasure.
Because of his grandmother's attitude towards him, Zhao Rong has always been reluctant to let his grandmother worry. As his grandmother got older, Zhao Rong rarely told his grandmother what was on his mind. Whenever he encounters any difficulties in life, or feels that he is depressed, Zhao Rong will no longer run to his grandmother one by one to complain like he did when he was a child. On the contrary, he took all the things and buried them in his heart, and then showed his happiest and happiest appearance in front of his grandmother.
And as she grew older, my grandmother grew older. On the one hand, he was worried about his grandmother's health, after all, even if his father and mother didn't remind him that his grandmother was old, Zhao Rong could see that his grandmother's spirit in recent years had been greatly inferior to before.
So even if his father and mother don't remind him every now and then, try to avoid getting old and disturbing his grandmother's rest and recuperation, Zhao Rong will no longer want to go to his grandmother to enjoy the favor like he did when he was a child.
In fact, the main reason why Zhao Rong appears less and less in front of the old lady is that it is becoming more and more difficult for him to pretend to be that happy. Unlike the real carefree when he was a child, when he got older, his father and mother had already taught him a lot of truths. Later, he felt that he was living a very aggrieved life and did not have the slightest freedom.
Therefore, the smile on Zhao Rong's face is naturally getting less and less, and it is already difficult for him to pretend to be optimistic in front of the old lady like before. Zhao Rong was also unwilling to always act to deceive the old lady, and gradually the opportunities for the two grandparents to meet became less and less.
So in this family, Zhao Rong felt that if it weren't for his grandmother, he would have felt that he should stay away from the Zhao family. He would rather live in a poor family than be locked in a cage like a golden bird.
This time he went on a trip to the provincial capital, which was an eye-opener for him. Zhao Rong also saw how the poor people lived outside, and how they struggled to earn enough food and clothing for a day. He is no longer the one, and when he arrives at the wonton stall for a few pennies, he has to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
When he traveled with Gong Yu in those days, he heard from his second brother about how many ordinary people live. Although these words are just hearsay, in Zhao Rong's opinion, he would rather live a hard life than live a life like imprisonment in the Zhao family.
Especially in the ten days that Xiao Tao was punished to be confined to prison, the little guy specially sent by her mother was like a spirit behind her, staring at herself all the time. (To be continued)
