The second son, An Jiamin, was a bit mediocre compared to his outstanding elder brother. Although he was smart, he never used his intelligence for serious work. Therefore, the two brothers were very different in the eyes of their relatives and friends.

An Jiamin dropped out of school in the first grade of junior high school. After a few years of idleness, he found a partner for himself. She was also from a working family in Chengdu. Her name was Cao Xiuzhen. The couple gave birth to a daughter and a son.

But the Cao Family’s parents preferred their sons. As a daughter, Cao Xiuzhen naturally had no right to inherit her parents’ iron rice bowl.

So, the couple in the second room had been married for two years and had not found a serious job. In the end, Old Man An retired early transferred his work position to his younger son and subsidized some money to his older son.

Old Man An has always been fair and considers himself fair, but An Jiamin and Cao Xizhen don’t think so. In their opinion, the eldest brother already has a job, so the old man’s job should be given to the second son. Why should the old man subsidize the eldest son?

From then on, An Jiamin felt uncomfortable and felt that his father was too partial to the eldest brother’s family.

But Old Man An was a transparent person. He doesn’t want the two brothers to be unhappy. After An Jiamin entered the pharmaceutical factory, he decisively let the two brothers separate.

After all, both sons have formed small families, and the two daughters-in-law have their little thoughts. If they still live together, friction is inevitable, which will hurt the friendship between the brothers.

Old Man An values ​​his eldest son more. After all, An Jiarong has always been very competitive. Not only did he get a high school diploma, but he also got into the first pharmaceutical factory with his ability and became an excellent drug inspector.

This position was not like an ordinary workshop worker like Old Man An, who enjoys a better salary and benefits. Which parent doesn’t like an excellent and filial son?

In addition, according to the traditional thinking of the older generation, the elderly live with the eldest son, so naturally, they have different weights in their hearts, but he has never treated his younger son badly.

However, Old Man An also saw that the second son’s wife was a picky and strong-willed person. Because she had no job, she stayed at home all day and found fault with the eldest son’s wife everywhere.

So, instead of the two brothers quarreling, it was better to separate early while the two brothers still had some feelings, and the two families lived separately.

As for how life was, it depends on their abilities, and no one can blame anyone.

The couple in the first house were both workers in the pharmaceutical factory. They received double wages every month, and their quality of life was naturally beyond reproach. In addition, the couple was very hardworking and motivated, and they performed well in the pharmaceutical factory, and received a lot of welfare bonuses and other additional subsidies.

Yan Ruhua was also a capable woman who managed the family well and managed the family’s life properly.

The second son and his wife were both lazy people. The whole family lived on the salary of An Jiamin alone. Cao Xiuzhen was lazy, so they lived a tight life.

Especially after their youngest son was born, the family expenses became even greater. Sometimes, they just couldn’t make ends meet, so An Jiamin would ask his eldest brother for help.

After Old Man An passed away, the gap between the two families became more obvious.

The eldest son and his wife got promoted, so salaries increased. They managed their family well, so they could save money every year.

The second son and his wife were mediocre, so they had no promotion and no savings and had to rely on the eldest brother’s family to live.

Later, the wave of layoffs came, and the pharmaceutical factory was dismantled. The An Family members were laid off, which widened the gap between the two families.
