Cultivation: Starting with Sterilizing My Own Father

Ever since her father lost his manhood, her father and grandmother's affection for her has skyrocketed.

Previously, because he was disobedient and caused trouble at night, he would threaten his little brother with scissors if they got angry. As a result, Wei Youcai's favorability towards him was always in the 80s, while his grandmother and mother were both at 100. Now, his father's favorability towards him is directly at the maximum level, and his grandmother's is even off the charts, reaching an astonishing 200. The favorability interface is issuing a spoiling alarm.

It is said that the parents had a child before, who was too naughty and was kicked in the stomach by Wei Youcai when he was drunk. It may have caused internal bleeding. The child kept complaining of pain that night, and when they woke up the next day, the child was already cold.

Because of this, no matter how much Wei Zhiying challenged Wei Youcai's "rights" before, the whole family never dared to hit her, or hit her too hard. After this incident, let alone hit her, they haven't even dared to say a harsh word to her these past few days.

Wei Zhiying believed that this was a case of one generation planting trees for another to enjoy the shade, so every month she would buy some paper money, draw a circle on the ground, and burn it for her deceased older brothers and sisters, reciting their names. The family remembered the boys' names very clearly, and the girls' names were even simpler; her older sisters were all named Wei Lanyin.

Although people these days may favor sons over daughters, the vast majority aren't doing so for the sake of continuing the family line, but rather for old age care. After all, the ancients were just ancient people; they weren't stupid. Did they not know that without a daughter, the family line would be rejected? They knew, but they didn't care. As long as they could ensure they had children to take care of them and support them in their old age, that was enough. After all, the elderly often say that once you get a wife, you'll enjoy a life of happiness. As for whether their children can find wives, they simply say, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings," and let the children try their best.

And then there's the mother of the child. Having instilled the idea of ​​carrying on the family line in her daughters from a young age, she'll naturally be the most anxious to arrange marriages for her sons. After all, they need to continue the family line.

Only those approaching fifty would take it seriously and raise children diligently, let alone men who have lost their fertility. If they don't take good care of their children, they'll have no hope for the future. Therefore, Wei Zhiying felt that even if she defecated on their heads, they would still praise her for doing so much.

Because of me, Grandma and Dad started to treat my older sister better. This made my sister's favorability towards me increase from 78 to 85.

My sister and I have always had a good relationship. Before my sister became aware of things, she was always a perfect 100.

However, Wei Zhiying was, after all, only in her twenties, and to her older sister, she was no different from a child she had raised. But since Wei Lanyin was the eldest, her actions of taking care of and protecting her displeased her family.

She kept saying, "You're the older sister, you have to take care of your younger brother."

You're the older sister, do you look like one now?

Because she was brought to the world with her younger brother when she was born, it wasn't that no one had introduced anyone to Wei Youcai before, saying that some families had no children and wanted to buy a girl to have a younger brother. But as long as Wei Zhiying didn't agree, they wouldn't agree either.

The village was somewhat superstitious, and the parents had also given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The girl was sold on the day she was born, which might be a strange and mysterious thing between twins.

The family neglected the child after the pregnancy. The girl went hungry, and her older brother, who lived on the other side, also cried frequently. In the end, both children died on the same day.

The girl died of hunger, while the boy was crushed to death by Wei Youcai, who was drunk and rolled over in his sleep.

Although the causes of death were different, the fact that they happened at the same time made the villagers think a lot.

You know, when the child was taken away, the boy cried his heart out. He cried every time he was picked up. Some people say it's because the two children were born at the same time, so they came together and left together.

The fact that Wei Zhiying and her sister were born hand in hand made everyone believe it even more. This made Wei Youcai hate his daughter but still have to keep her. He could only vent his frustration by saying hurtful things.

This psychological attack caused her sister's affection for her to plummet to 78, and it's only now that it's finally back up.

Wei Youcai felt increasingly frustrated because he couldn't scold or beat his children, nor could he keep hitting his own mother. So he made Wei's daughter drag and pull the two children out every day.

……

Since Wei Youcai was crippled, he has been ridiculed by the men around him whenever he goes out. He stays at home all day and doesn't even want to go out, but he has no choice but to go out. He smashes everything in the house that is fragile to pieces.

Although Wei Youcai is now disabled, the law stipulates that he is exempt from the poll tax. Since the male members of his family are underage, they are also exempt from corvée labor. However, after paying other taxes, his mother and grandmother's wages have dwindled, leaving them with less food and not a single copper coin. If it weren't for the government's charitable institution providing disabled people with three dou of rice, thirty jin of firewood, and one bolt of winter and one bolt of summer cloth each month, the family would have starved to death.

The master of the house saw that Wei Youcai often didn't work, and since he did the least work, he probably wouldn't have worked at all if it weren't for the whip behind him, so he thought about firing Wei Youcai.

The village chief intervened on their behalf.

The employer figured that since he wasn't doing any work and they didn't need to pay him, they might as well pretend he didn't exist, so they agreed.

Cui Lanyin was the only literate woman in the village who could do arithmetic, and she was responsible for recording the quantity and materials of the cloth. This also helped prevent men from having contact with them and causing chaos at home.

She would always keep a small amount of the scraps and bring them back to make embroidery with her mother-in-law to supplement the family income. This time, she finally managed to save up five copper coins, so she sent her two children to buy a pound of wine as a thank-you gift for the village chief.

Grandma carefully wrapped the money in red cloth: "If your mother and I didn't have to go to work, why would we let you two go? You two have to behave yourselves. This money is our family's lifeline. The whole family saved it by not eating or drinking. If you dare to buy candy, I'll beat you to death, you ungrateful wretch."

As he spoke, he slammed the wrapped money into Wei Lanyin's hand.

She wiped away tears as she finished, saying, "We only have this much money. The village chief has never seen such good wine before, and I don't even know if he wants it. Heavens! How can our family be so poor? Marrying into this family has been pure suffering!"

Wei Zhiying originally intended to take her older sister away, but her sister, a three-year-old child who hadn't yet developed her intelligence, couldn't keep secrets. Hearing her grandmother crying like that, she immediately said that she also had some copper coins saved up and could help with the family's affairs.

Upon hearing this, Grandma immediately took the five copper coins and asked Wei Lanyin to bring out the copper coins she had saved. Wei Zhiying scratched her head in annoyance: "Alright, all the money she saved is with me. I'll go buy it. If there's any left over, I'll see if I can buy some food."

"Good, good, my grandson is amazing, he can save up so much at such a young age..."

Before Grandma could finish speaking, Wei Zhiying grabbed her sister and ran out. Once outside, Wei Zhiying couldn't control her anger and flung her sister's hand away, saying, "Are you that rich? I told you to be honest, not to be truthful."

This was the first time Wei Lanyin had ever seen her younger brother get angry at her. Her voice was so soft it was almost a whisper: "Grandma said things are very..."

"What does their poverty have to do with us? It's not like they became poor because they had us. Let's take care of ourselves first. You can't even take care of yourself, how can you expect to take care of your family!"

Wei Zhiying interrupted her sister before she could speak: "Don't listen to Grandma's talk about raising us. Even if we hadn't been born, the family would still be poor. Any extra money would have gone to Dad to buy wine!"

Wei Zhiying grew increasingly angry as she spoke: "If it weren't for the two of us saving money, we'd be starving like Qiaoya next door, skin and bones, and bald too. This gift is bought with your money!"

Wei Lanyin had never seen her younger brother get angry at her before, and she was so frightened that she cried and sobbed behind him the whole way.

Wei Zhiying wanted her sister to remember this lesson, so she reached into her clothes, took out her sister's purse from her spatial storage, and took out ten coins. She went to the shop and said, "Uncle, that wine cup is ten coins, right? I want to buy it."

Wei Lanyin quickly pulled her younger brother back: "Grandma wants us to buy wine..."

Wei Zhiying turned around and glared at him: "Shut up!"

Wei Lanyin was startled. The shop owner, seeing this, burst into laughter: "You little brat, what right do you have to speak for a man?"

Wei Zhiying took the wine glass from the shop owner without even saying thank you, and pulled her sister away, saying, "Don't take what he said to heart. I acted impulsively today. I know you're worried about your family, but you shouldn't flaunt your wealth, even to your family. If you're still worried, just add some of your own money when you buy things, and then just make up some excuse when you get home. You had to say it in front of Grandma."

Wei Zhiying didn't expect her three-year-old sister to fully understand: "Uncle Village Chief likes to drink, so there must be a lot of people giving him wine. We can't give him the exact same thing, so we have to choose something he doesn't have or that he's reluctant to buy. You know, no one would spend money to buy a wine glass on their own, so let's give him this. Later, when we go to town to have our spiritual roots tested, we'll have to ask the village chief for a spot."

Wei Lanyin nodded, somewhat bewildered. She realized one thing: the gift her brother had bought was definitely better than the wine.

Sure enough, after the village chief opened the red cloth, he saw a wine cup inside. Although it was not exquisite, he was still very happy.

On the contrary, the uncle who came to deliver the wine and meat next to them, after seeing that it was a wine glass, mocked the two children for not knowing how to buy things.

Upon hearing this, Wei Lanyin couldn't help but worry about her younger brother, fearing that he might not have bought the right thing.

Wei Zhiying was so focused on talking to the village chief that she didn't notice her sister's mood. In the past, many people would come to the village chief's house to curry favor, but the two siblings were never in the running. Now, they finally had a chance to talk to the village chief, which gave them a better chance of getting a spot in the future.

Wei Zhiying secretly glanced at the favorability rating on the panel. Sure enough, the original favorability rating was zero, but after giving her the wine glass, it immediately rose to 50.

The uncle next to me must be the one who always brings more expensive wine; his favorability rating is only in his early 20s.

When Wei Zhiying saw some fallen leaves in the village chief's yard, she took the opportunity to say that she and her sister could come and help him sweep the floor every day.

The village chief readily agreed, but the man next to him was displeased: "This... Village chief, my daughter has time too."

"Alright, alright, you're a grown man, don't argue with a child." The village chief waved his hand, and the matter was settled.

The man was completely baffled. He had given such fine wine, so why was it less valuable than a wine glass?
