Chapter 209: Backlash
Why did Zhao Youfu's family harm Zhao Shu's family like this? Because of jealousy.

Zhao Youfu said viciously, "If you and your father hadn't always been showing off to us how well you were doing, we wouldn't have thought of this way to punish you!"

Zhao Shu: "When did we show off?!"

"Humph, every time your dad gets his salary, he sends some worthless things to my house. If he's not showing off, then what is he doing?"

There was a flash of confusion in Zhao Shu's eyes. When did their family show off?

He soon remembered that his family was well off at that time, but Zhao Youfu's family often had no food to eat, and Grandma Zhou often came to his house to borrow food.

So every time his father received his salary, he would buy some rice, flour, grain and oil and give them to Zhao Youfu's family to help them.

They didn’t expect that their kind help was seen as showing off in their eyes!

Zhao Shu gnashed his teeth and said, "My dad sent you some food because he saw that you couldn't even afford to eat. Not only are you not grateful, you even hate us!"

"I don't need your charity!" Zhao Youfu's face was twisted into a hideous shape.

When my grandfather's generation divided the houses, Grandpa Zhao Shu got the worst land and the least things.

At the beginning, Zhao Youfu's house was better than Zhao Shu's, their life was better than theirs, and they were superior to them in every way.

But later, when it came to the generation of Zhao Youfu and Zhao Shu's father, Zhao Shu's family got ahead of Zhao Youfu. They first turned the wooden house into a two-story building, and Zhao Shu's father was promoted from an ordinary employee to a manager.

On the other hand, Zhao Youfu's family, with so many people, are still squeezed into the original small and dilapidated wooden house, and Zhao Youfu's father has been working for so long but is still a grassroots employee.

Zhao Youfu and his siblings were not as good as Zhao Shu and his siblings in study and work.

Moreover, Zhao Youfu, who was already of marriageable age at that time, fell in love with a girl, but the girl liked Zhao Shu and not him. This incident became the last straw that made Zhao Youfu want to take revenge on Zhao Shu.

Why can they live so much, why should their family be superior to them!
Jealousy destroyed the last bit of their humanity.

So Zhao Youfu and his father asked someone to find an evil old man. They spent a lot of money to buy the cursed box from the old man. When they built a house for Zhao Shu's family, they buried the box in the main hall of his house.

From then on, Zhao Shu's family began to go downhill. Some died, some were injured, and nothing went well for them no matter what they did.

On the other hand, Zhao Youfu was very successful in everything he did. After working in the city for a few years, he opened a building materials store, got married, had children, and bought a house and a car.

His brothers and sisters have also settled down in the city, each running their own small business, and their lives are thriving.

That year, the village was planning to set up a farm stay, and his house was the largest one.

He just wanted to let others see that he, Zhao Youfu, was the most promising person in the Zhao family, and Zhao Shu was just a loser who didn't even dare to return to his hometown.

Zhao Youfu's distorted accusations echoed in the yard. Everyone's eyes fell on his horribly distorted face, and they felt a chill on their backs.

It is too vicious to destroy someone's family just because you are jealous of their good life.

Hearing this, the people in the yard and Fu Cancan in the house rushed out and beat Zhao Youfu up.

Qin Yinghao, who was watching on the side, was a little unconvinced at first, but after hearing Zhao Youfu's beastly reason, he also wanted to hit him.

Just at this time Zhao Youcai spoke.

"This matter was done by my eldest brother and my father. It has nothing to do with the rest of us." He looked at Yang Fan anxiously, "Yang Fan, this retribution should not involve us!"

This curse was cast by his father and brother, and had nothing to do with his other siblings.

Yang Fan crossed his legs and yawned, "Except for Grandma Zhou, you brothers and sisters are all beneficiaries, and you will also suffer the backlash."

She stared at Zhao Youcai steadily, "And are you sure you don't know about this?"

It's quite ironic that they set this curse to benefit their family and future generations, and everyone was included except Grandma Zhou.

They didn't want Grandma Zhou to benefit from their blessings, and it was precisely because of this that Grandma Zhou's life was saved that the backlash did not affect Grandma Zhou.

Zhao Youcai's eyes were full of panic. He knew it, because he saw it when his brother and his father buried the thing that day. When Zhao Xianghong and Zhao Xiangyu were still burying the box, they stepped hard on the ground several times.

"I just thought that the things that brought them bad luck would not kill anyone!"

At that time, Zhao Youfu and the others told him that the thing would only bring bad luck to Zhao Shu, and they never said it would kill people!

Dong Chunyan was shocked by the so-called truth.

Grandma Zhou lay on the chair, looking at the two of her children, closed her eyes in despair, tears rolling down her eyes.

What a beast! Back then, the family was in such a difficult situation. If it weren’t for the help from Zhao Shu’s family, they wouldn’t even have enough food to eat.

Back then, it was Zhao Hai himself who was lazy, ambitious, selfish, and loved drinking and gambling, which led to their family becoming poor and squeezed into that tiny house.

Zhao Shu could no longer bear it, and raised his fist high, ready to hit Zhao Youfu in the face. The latter closed his eyes, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly, but he did not dodge.

Now that it has come to this, he has no choice but to fight. If anyone dares to fight him, he will blackmail him into bankruptcy!

Just as the fist was about to hit Zhao Youfu, Grandma Zhou spoke in time, "Don't hit him, Zhao Shu."

Zhao Shu's fist just stopped in front of Zhao Youfu.

He turned around and looked at Grandma Zhou with a face full of grief and anger, "Aunt, are you going to protect them?!"

"I'm not protecting them, it's just that if you hit him, he will extort money from you," said Grandma Zhou.

Zhao Shu's body froze, and Zhao Youfu opened his eyes quickly and glared at Grandma Zhou fiercely, resenting her for ruining his plan.

Others in the yard: "..."

Although the occasion was not right, they somehow felt a little funny when they heard Grandma Zhou's words.

She knew what kind of person her son was. If Zhao Shu threw this punch, Zhao Youfu would definitely hold on to this point.

Grandma Zhou tried to stand up. She looked at Yang Fan and said in a rare calm voice, "Yang Fan, is it true that this curse cannot be reversed?"

Yang Fan shook his head. If any backlash could be easily eliminated, wouldn't that be unfair to the victims?

She never believed that bad people would realize they were wrong and repent.

Bad guys will say that they were wrong just because the whip hit them. In order to stop the whip from hitting them, they only need to move their lips and cry and say that they were wrong. However, such hypocritical apologies have no effect on the victims.

From the moment she destroyed that bone, the way to eliminate the backlash was cut off, and no one could change it.

All the sufferings that Zhao Hai's family had endured before must be borne doubly upon Zhao Youfu and his siblings, only in this way can we be worthy of the family members of Zhao Hai who died in vain.

Grandma Zhou nodded, and under the gaze of everyone, she stood up tremblingly and looked at Zhao Shu, who had loosened the clothes he was holding on Zhao Youfu.

With a plop, Grandma Zhou knelt down towards Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu and Luo Cheng were startled and hurried to help her up.

"Aunt, what are you doing!" Zhao Shu asked anxiously.

Grandma Zhou was helped up by them. She held Zhao Shu's hand and choked up, "I'm sorry, it's all because of Auntie's failure to teach the child well!"

It was all her fault. It was her fault for not educating her children well, which caused the Zhao Shu family to suffer these unprovoked disasters.

Zhao Shu was a grown man, but tears welled up in his eyes, and his eyes were full of grievance. "Aunt, even if you apologize to me, I will not forgive them."

"Auntie doesn't ask you to forgive them," Grandma Zhou shook her head, looking at Zhao Youfu and Zhao Youcai with disappointment and calmness in her eyes, "They made a mistake and they should bear the consequences."

Grandma Zhou had never looked at them like this before. The brothers Zhao Youfu and Zhao Youcai felt uneasy, as if something important had disappeared.
