Chapter 312 Pathetic and Hateful

"Second brother, go to the village entrance and see why your cousin and the others haven't come back yet. It doesn't take this long to chase after a little girl. Don't let that brat run back to Qishui Brigade."

Grandma Dong stood at the gate of the courtyard, constantly looking out.

This person has a dark complexion and prominent cheekbones. He usually looks quite kind when he smiles, but once he puts on a cold face, he gives off a particularly sharp and mean-spirited impression.

At this moment, everyone in the Dong family was sitting in the courtyard. The eldest son of the Dong family, with severe burns on his face, leaned against the ground outside the main room with a gloomy expression, his head slightly lowered, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"Second son, what kind of wretch did you marry?" When Grandma Dong didn't see her son return for a long time, she turned her attention to her honest and simple second son and complained with a critical eye.

"It's just about letting her carry on your brother's lineage. She took a whole eighty yuan dowry from us back then, and she's unwilling to do even this little thing. She even ran off with me. The child she gives birth to will be one of our Dong family's offspring. What's there to be unwilling about? Let me tell you, once she's brought back, you have to teach that brat a lesson."

Dong Lao Er stood by the door with his head down. When he heard his mother's words, he slowly raised his head and glanced at his older brother, pursing his lips tightly.

"I told you so, but you're pretending to be mute. I've really wasted my life giving birth to you. What, you don't want to go to school anymore?" Old Mrs. Dong's voice suddenly rose, becoming even sharper and more shrill. She raised a thin, calloused finger and mercilessly rubbed Dong Jiaqin's forehead.

"Don't forget, if it weren't for you, would your eldest brother have been so badly injured? My perfectly healthy eldest son lost a leg and his face was ruined because of you. Otherwise, with your eldest brother's abilities, he would never have wanted to marry such a childless woman."

She's just a good-for-nothing with no brothers. We're already doing her a favor by letting her in. Even if she gives birth to a son who's a bastard, she's your wife, so she should help you pay off your debts. That's what you two owe your older brother."

Old Dong lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and remained silent for a long time like a taciturn person before finally speaking in a low, hoarse voice, as if it were the voice of someone who had been thirsty for a long time.

"Mom, I'm just afraid... afraid of holding my brother back. Hongguo's mother only had her as a daughter, and I've heard that childbirth is hereditary. What if Hongguo can't have a son either? It's better to..."

"What? You can't bear to part with him?" A cold, deep voice suddenly rang out. Boss Dong slowly raised his head, looking at his younger brother with a sinister expression, and slowly asked, "Second brother, you can't bear to part with him!"

"No, no!"

Dong Lao Er shook his head almost subconsciously, and instinctively shuddered, as if he was filled with fear of his elder brother deep in his bones.

Yao Hongguo has a bright and dignified appearance, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is the kind of generous beauty that many women in this era pursue.

When Yao Hongguo was dating Dong Jiaqin, Dong Laoda became insanely jealous because he was five years older than Dong Laoda but could not find a wife due to the burns on his face and his lame leg.

He had high standards and looked down on the skinny, sallow-faced girls that the matchmakers brought in, who, in his opinion, were too ugly to be worthy of him.

In those families, the preference for sons over daughters is generally strong, and daughters are treated like livestock. If you marry a girl, her family will probably cling to her.

Let alone the eldest son of the Dong family, even the old lady and old man of the Dong family would not allow their precious eldest son to marry someone who is not presentable.

As a result, Dong Jiaqin actually found a boyfriend, who was one of the few high school students in the village. He had no siblings, so everything from her parents' home would belong to her alone.

This contrast immediately stirred up the darkest side of Boss Dong's heart.

Originally, Old Mrs. Dong did not agree to the marriage at all, and even secretly coerced and bribed Dong Lao Er to give his girlfriend to his elder brother.

In the end, no one knows what Old Master Dong said to Old Mrs. Dong and Old Man Dong, but the marriage was eventually arranged. Not only that, Old Mrs. Dong also gave a dowry of eighty yuan and even personally brought generous gifts to propose marriage.

As a result, on the second day of the newlyweds' marriage, after the whole family sent Yao Hongguo away, they exposed their true colors in front of Dong Lao Er.

Dong Jiaqin had no status at home since childhood and was used to obeying his parents and always giving way to his older brother, who was said to have saved his life.

However, when Dong Jiaqin heard from his mother that his wife was to give birth to a son for his older brother, he was completely stunned. His first reaction was to object.

How could that be? That's his wife, not an object. How could he possibly lend her out?

But when he was being beaten on the ground by his parents, and when he met his older brother's sinister gaze, he fell silent once again.

I was disheartened, but there was no way to fight back!

In fact, Dong Jiaqin knew that Yao Hongguo was running in the morning, but he did not stop her or even leave the room.

He didn't know what he was thinking at the time, he just felt... somewhat fortunate.

When Grandma Dong saw her second son lower his head and remain silent, looking like a good-for-nothing, he was no match for his older brother and younger brother.

The old lady frowned, growing increasingly uneasy: "No, it's been so long. Second son, go to the Qishui brigade and see what's going on. I just can't shake this feeling of unease."

“We really should go and take a look.” Old Dong’s expression grew increasingly grim, his slightly shrewd eyes fixed on the direction outside the gate. “Those guys from the Seventh Water Brigade are not to be trifled with. We absolutely cannot let them know about this. Second son, go to your father-in-law’s house and see. If something really happens, just say it was your own decision, that you felt sorry for your older brother, understand?”

Upon hearing his father's words, Dong Jiaqin instinctively trembled, then looked up at Old Man Dong with disbelief yet also a sense of urgency.

However, at that moment, a strange noise came from outside the door, and then a lot of people gathered around.

Grandma Dong didn't think much of it and subconsciously opened the door. Her eyes widened immediately, and she froze on the spot.
