Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 907: If you have a father, follow your father; if you don’t have a father, follow your brother
In China, there has been a rule since ancient times, which is called "If you have a father, follow your father; if you don't have a father, follow your elder brother."

To put it simply, in a family, if the father is still alive, then everyone in the family must listen to the father.

But if the father is not at home or even has passed away, then the eldest son in the family will have to take over the father's role and support the family.

And before all the younger brothers and sisters in the family get married, they have to listen to the arrangements made by their eldest brother.

Nowadays, this rule is not taken seriously, but in a family, if the father is gone, then once something big happens, the person who makes the final decision must be the eldest brother.

There is no way. The rules that have been passed down for thousands of years are not without reason.

Therefore, with the approval of the eldest brother Li Dashan and the statements of the second brother Li Dajiang and the third brother Li Dahe, the marriage between Wang Li and Li Xiuyu was a foregone conclusion.

As for Li Xiuyu's mother, Wang An believed that the three brothers and Li Xiuyu would convince her.

While Wang An was talking to the three brothers, Li Xiuyu, who had been waiting for her mother in the house, suddenly ran out and stood on the threshold of the outer room and shouted:

"Big brother, second brother, little brother, our mother is awake, please come into the house quickly."

After Li Xiu Yu finished shouting, she turned around and ran into the house again.

Upon hearing this, Li Dashan hurriedly said to Wang An:

"Brother Xiao An, I'm going to go inside to see my mother first, and then we can talk later."

Without waiting for Wang An to answer, the three brothers ran into the house together.

Wang An and Wang Li, who heard the shouting, also walked into the house.

The main thing is that turning around and leaving at a time like this is really a bit impolite.

Besides, even if Wang An could leave, Wang Li couldn't leave. His mother-in-law had just woken up from a coma, and Wang Li, who was about to become her son-in-law, ran away. That was really outrageous!

After everyone entered the room, they saw that Li Xiuyu's mother had already sat up from the kang, but she looked very weak.

Li Xiuyu's mother's surname was Han, and she didn't have a name before she got married. The main reason was that she was born in a time of war and chaos, and girls were not valued at that time.

So her family called her San Ya according to her birth order, and then her name became Han San Ya.

After Han Sanya married Li Xiuyu's father, Li Xiuyu's father said that the name Sanya was not nice, so he changed her name to Han Sanfeng.

It’s true that the name Han Sanfeng does sound a lot more impressive than the name Han Sanya.

Of course, these are what Mu Xueli said when she was chatting with Wang An and the others, and Mu Xueli also heard them from the old people in their village.

The Li family has been in trouble these days, and they are all very serious things. So Li Xiuyu's mother, Han Sanfeng, as a woman, couldn't bear it. In fact, it is normal.

This is also the reason why it is said "If you have a father, follow your father; if you don't have a father, follow your elder brother."

Because we have to admit that when faced with a serious situation, most women are less able to withstand pressure than men. Li Xiuyu's mother watched her children all go into the house, and then she said weakly and with a sad face:
"That bunch of beasts, have they come to cause trouble in our house again today? When will this day end? Oh, it's all your damn father's fault. He spends money to feed the hungry, and how can we mothers pay him back? Woo woo woo, you old man, you save yourself the trouble but you make us mothers suffer so much, woo woo woo woo"

As she spoke, Li Xiuyu's mother burst into tears, but her sadness also revealed her endless longing for Li Xiuyu's father.

No matter how much of a bastard Li Xiuyu's father was during his lifetime, no matter how much of a spendthrift he was, to Li Xiuyu's mother, Li Xiuyu's father was her sky, her only sky.

Now, not only did the sky collapse, but as it did so, it also created a huge hole in the ground. Moreover, this huge hole was something that even Li Xiu Yu's family could not fill together.

It can be seen how helpless and desperate Han Sanfeng was at this time.

Hearing his mother say this, Li Dashan hurried forward to explain:

"Mom, please don't cry. Those beasts have been arrested by my brother-in-law. Our family is safe now, and we don't have to pay the interest on the donkey rolls."

Han Sanfeng, who was crying, rubbed her eyes, obviously confused by her eldest son's words.

After Li Dashan finished speaking, Li Dajiang added:

"Yes, mother. The well official even gave our family five bicycles as compensation. After we sell the bicycles, not only can we pay back some of our hunger, but we can also make a living."

The third brother, Li Dahai, also said:

"We have to be tight on our belts for the next two months. Once the food arrives, we will be able to recover completely."

Then, the three brothers took turns telling Han Sanfeng about their wonderful future life, which finally made Han Sanfeng feel much better.

It’s no wonder that as long as people have hope, their mental state will immediately improve, and if a person’s mental state improves, then their physical condition will definitely improve as well.

The reason why Han Sanfeng was bedridden was not because she was in poor health, but because all kinds of shitty things had happened in recent days, causing her to get so angry that she knocked her down.

Now that his three sons have told him that the biggest trouble, that group of loan sharks, has been dealt with, and the whole family can live a good life, Han Sanfeng naturally has nothing to worry about.

The reason why she didn't get better immediately was that her old man had just died two days ago, and the body might not have started to rot yet.

It was a long time before Han Sanfeng remembered the "brother-in-law" that Li Dashan and the others had mentioned.

So Han Sanfeng asked Li Dashan:
"Dashan, how many days have I been unconscious? When did you find a husband for Xiaoyu? How come mother doesn't know?"

It can be heard that Han Sanfeng had no objection to Li Dashan's decision to find a husband for Li Xiuyu on his own.

After all, their generation is the one that truly implements the saying "If you have a father, follow your father; if you don't have a father, follow your elder brother."

And in Han Sanfeng's opinion, Li Xiuyu, who has lost her father now, should listen to her elder brother in everything.

But Li Dashan didn't know when his sister would find a partner, so he just said vaguely:
"This matter of our family cannot be resolved. Xiuyu went to find Wang Li. Let me tell you, mother, if it weren't for your uncle, you wouldn't be able to see the three of us brothers now."
