Chapter 125 Taking on the Main Responsibility
"Anyway, I won't go. You know I can't carry anything. Wouldn't it be the end of me to join the army? Besides, my wife is pregnant, and she can't be left alone to take care of her." Han Lin usually likes to be sneaky and sly, and it's even more impossible for him to go at this time.
"What do you mean no one takes care of her? Who feeds your wife on weekdays? What do you do every day? I don't know why our Han family has such a lazy guy like you." Yang hated this third son the most. He had problems all over his body. She wished she could throw him out earlier. Even if he joined the army, he would still cause trouble. The rules in the barracks are not the same as at home. No one can save him when the time comes. After all, he is her own son. Yang couldn't be so cruel, so she chose the one from the other three brothers.
"I mean the eldest son can't go. We are counting on him to support us in our old age. He is the eldest son and he has to support the family." Yang favored the youngest son the most, but in the eyes of old man Han, the eldest son was obviously different. He excluded the eldest son as soon as he opened his mouth.
Li was anxious when she heard it, and her face showed a rare anxious look. Her father-in-law meant that the eldest son couldn't go, and the third son was a scoundrel. He was obviously a grown man but he often made trouble and would probably blame this matter. The mother-in-law thought that the one she cared about the most was the youngest son. After all, she was the only one who didn't love her father and mother, and she was the most honest. Wouldn't the matter fall on him? If that was the case, how could she, a woman, live with her children?
Thinking of this, Li not only looked sad, but her eyes were red. However, she didn't dare to interrupt and say more before the final result was decided. She just felt wronged in her heart.
"Dad, we are all sons. Even if I am not here, the second son and his family can still support the family. Why don't I go? I am the eldest brother, and I have to take care of things if there is any problem." Everyone was worried and silent, but Han Hu suddenly spoke up. After all, he is the eldest brother, not only is he generous on weekdays, but he is also very sacrificial at critical moments.
Hearing Han Hu say this, Li and Han Lin couldn't hide their joy on their faces. Liu originally supported her father-in-law's words and felt relieved. She didn't know that her husband would suddenly stand up on his own. She immediately refused and cried.
"How can you be so cruel, you bastard? We don't even have a son in this branch. If you go to the army and something happens, what will happen to us mothers and daughters? Who will inherit the incense of our eldest branch? Woohoo, if you really dare to go, I will not live. Woohoo, why are we mothers and daughters so miserable? We have to deal with such an irresponsible man who only cares about your brothers. When has he ever considered us mothers and daughters? Oh my God, how can we live like this!" Liu's voice was loud to begin with. Not only her own yard, but also the neighbors could hear her crying. Old Man Han and Yang were already upset, and Liu's crying gave them a headache. Han Hu's face was not very good either. His wife only knew how to hold him back. She always liked to take advantage of others without suffering any loss. She didn't look like a sister-in-law at all. "Enough, you ignorant woman, it's not your turn to comment on what I've decided!"
How could Liu listen to Han Hu? She became more and more excited
"Why don't you let me speak? Do you treat me as your wife? Do you think people will appreciate it? They will only think you are stupid. What a bullshit big brother. I don't see them respect you more than usual."
Yang saw that Liu was getting more and more unreasonable, so she stopped her: "Liu, shut up, why are you howling? I'm not dead yet, just stand aside! You can't even give birth to a son for so many years, and you still have reason. If it were other families, they would have divorced a daughter-in-law like you long ago. Now the matter is still under discussion, and it hasn't been decided who will go. If you keep yelling, you will pack up and go back to your parents' home. Our family can't tolerate such a daughter-in-law."
Yang was also upset. Which son was not her own flesh and blood, and she would only become more irritated in her heart, and she took it out on Liu.
Liu was not very confident to begin with, but she didn't want her husband to foolishly take the lead. After being scolded by her mother-in-law, she became obedient and stood aside without saying a word, but she didn't relax at all. If things really didn't go her way, she would still make a fuss. Going to the battlefield has always been a life-and-death struggle. Although it's not time to fight yet, conscription is for the purpose of preparing for war. She absolutely can't let her man take this risk.
"Why don't I go? My eldest brother is the eldest in the family. Many things still depend on him. And there is no successor yet. I can't let my eldest brother's family be cut off. I am the only one in the family who has a son. Even if there is an emergency, there is still Brother Fu to inherit the incense." The second son Han Quan was silent for a long time and said. Although he didn't want to go and didn't want to leave his wife and children, he thought about it and thought that only he was the most suitable. At least if there was an emergency, he wouldn't be afraid of being cut off.
Before Han Quan finished speaking, Li couldn't help crying. She couldn't suppress her sadness. She was not as fierce as Liu and dared to stand up and oppose. She could only express her emotions in this way.
No one spoke when Li cried, and the atmosphere in the room became even quieter. Although the sisters-in-law felt a little sympathetic towards Li, no one would say anything at this time. If it wasn't the second son who went, it would fall on their men's heads, and no one wanted to.
Su Wenyue wanted to say a few words to comfort Li, but she held back in the end. Anyway, it wouldn't be Han Quan who went in the end. If she didn't have a good attitude and the experience of her previous life, she might have been the one crying now. Speaking casually at this time would disrupt Han Yu's plan.
"Fourth son, what do you think?" Old Man Han asked again. Compared with the second son, Old Man Han actually preferred the fourth son to go. After all, the fourth son was good at fighting and had a flexible mind. Even if he went to the battlefield, he would have a higher chance of survival. Maybe he could even fight for a future. However, it all depended on the fourth son's own ideas. After all, the fourth son had been married for not long. It was cruel for the young couple to separate. Besides, the Su family might not be willing.
Although Yang preferred the youngest son, she did not say anything at this time. She looked at the youngest son, wanting to know his thoughts.
"Originally, I would be the most suitable person to go, but now I am also a married man. If I leave, I will not feel at ease leaving Yue Niang alone. These days, I have been at home for so many things, which made Yue Niang suffer a lot of grievances. If I am not at home, it will be even worse." Han Yu did not shy away from saying that he cared about his wife at this time.
Yang felt uncomfortable but it was not easy to show it at this time. How could her sons be so useless one by one? If they put their hearts on their wives, what great things could they achieve.
