Chapter 590: Disgraceful
Chapter 590: Disgraceful
However, when they got there, they did not see the Third Brother himself.
Instead, a strange helper came.
Without saying a word, he stuffed the two hoes into the hands of the eldest and second brother.
He said indifferently: "Go and weed that field."
The eldest and the second oldest were stunned for a moment, their hearts filled with dissatisfaction and confusion.
The boss stared at the helper with wide eyes and asked, "Do you know who we are?"
The helper replied expressionlessly: "Of course I know, you are the boss's eldest brother, you are the second brother, right?"
"Yes, since you know everything, why are you still..."
The boss was interrupted by his helper before he could finish his words.
"I know it very well. The boss has specifically instructed that you two are doing the same job as us. Don't dawdle, get started."
The helper's tone was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
The eldest and the second oldest looked at each other. Although they were somewhat reluctant, they had no choice.
They knew that it was useless to argue with the helper at this time and they could only do as he said.
So, the two of them silently picked up their hoes, walked towards the weed-covered field, and began to work hard.
He fantasized that he could show off to his employer's relatives and make them look at him with new eyes.
However, reality gave me a heavy blow as I found out that my work speed and quality were far inferior to those helpers.
"Do you two know how to work? You're standing there like logs, not even willing to exert any strength, and yet you still want to earn wages!"
One of the helpers couldn't stand it anymore and criticized them rudely.
"That's right. Half a day has passed and you are still dawdling. If I were the boss, I would never hire people like you."
Another helper echoed.
"If you don't want to do this, just leave now and don't waste your time here!"
Their words were like sharp swords, piercing the brothers' hearts.
The eldest and second sons were naturally indignant, as they usually farmed in the same way at home.
And I thought I was diligent enough, so why am I being belittled by them when I get here?
Just when he was about to refute, he suddenly discovered that the helpers from the third brother's family had completed two or three times as much work as he had.
Faced with such a gap, he was suddenly speechless, and the words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.
After all, the eldest and second oldest brothers are genuine farmers, and it is really shameful for them to be laughed at like this!
The two felt that they had reached their physical and mental limits and could no longer hold on.
Not to mention three days, even half a day is unbearable.
After careful consideration, they decided to leave here as soon as possible.
If I had to work so hard every day, I would probably be ahead of the old lady.
It’s better to leave this hard-earned money to others.
However, the eldest and second oldest knew that if they went home directly like this, their mother would definitely scold them for being useless.
They questioned why others could persist but they couldn't.
After thinking it over, the two finally came up with an excuse.
When the old lady saw the two of them coming, her face instantly became gloomy and terrifying.
"Why are you back?" The old lady's voice was cold, with obvious dissatisfaction and blame.
The eldest brother nudged the second brother with his elbow, signaling him to quickly answer according to the words they had previously agreed upon.
The second child took a deep breath, rubbed his sweaty and sticky hands on his clothes, and then said, "Mom, you really misunderstood us!"
"You know, we are all veterans of working in the fields. That little bit of work is a piece of cake for us. How could we feel it was hard?"
The old lady stared at the two people with sharp eyes, as if she wanted to see through their eyes into their hearts and judge whether they were lying.
"Oh?" The old lady's voice raised slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt.
"What's going on? I begged for this job with great difficulty, and you guys just don't know how to cherish it?"
The second son hurried forward to support the old lady and said softly, "Mom, don't be angry first, listen to me and tell you slowly."
The old lady snorted, and slowly sat down with the help of the second son, her face still gloomy.
The second brother took a deep breath and continued, "Mom, you don't know, the third brother is very sinister."
"I think he must have deliberately asked those helpers to trip us up and make things difficult for us!"
"He gave us some broken farm tools, which obviously made it difficult for us to do the work!"
"That's right!" The boss also echoed, "And those helpers laughed at us for not being able to do our job well. Do you think we can be blamed for that?"
"That's not all!" The second brother became more and more excited. "Do you know? We haven't even seen the third brother in the whole morning! It's obvious that he doesn't want to see us and is deliberately avoiding us!"
"That's right!" The boss nodded quickly. "This must be his idea. He just wants to force us to leave. How could he do that?"
As the old lady listened to her two sons' stories, her anger grew stronger.
She felt sorry for her two sons who had been wronged, and was also upset about losing the opportunity to make money.
"Now that he's rich, he's changed. He wasn't like this before. Maybe it was that bastard's idea." The old lady said indignantly.
She felt that the third brother was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and was completely a different person compared to before.
The second son felt a little relieved when he saw his mother agreed with what he said, which meant that his mother was not so angry now.
He quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued, "If it's something you forced upon, it doesn't belong to us. Why are you so persistent? A forced melon is not sweet, mother."
The second son said this while observing his mother's expression.
Seeing his mother's frown gradually relax, he was secretly happy, knowing that his words had worked.
So, he went on to say: "Now that this opportunity is gone, there will be other opportunities in the future, so just relax. As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise."
"If that doesn't work, we can just take good care of the few acres of land at home."
The eldest brother paused for a moment, then as if he suddenly thought of something, he said excitedly: "Mom, I think we can learn how to do business from my brother-in-law! My brother-in-law is so capable, he will definitely teach us a lot!"
However, the old lady shook her head disapprovingly and said, "You two are not cut out for business, so you'd better not embarrass yourself."
Although the old lady's words were heartbreaking, they were finally able to successfully deceive her, which really made the two of them feel relieved!
