Why doesn’t Wu Dalang care about Wu Song?

Article/Director

Wu Song’s life experience was very rough. He lost his parents when he was young and relied entirely on his eldest brother Wu Dalang to feed him with a pot of feces and urine. Therefore, from Wu Song’s perspective, Wu Dalang’s relationship with He is very important, even the most important. This can be seen from his later revenge for Wu Dalang. When the county magistrate and Ximen Qing colluded, Wu Song did not choose to appeal or go to a higher-level agency to complain. Instead, he completely gave up his hard-won status as a civil servant and personally Revenge, kill Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian.

Even if you don’t need your job or your identity, even if you become an executioner or a murderer, even if you are captured by the court and sentenced, you still have to kill your enemies. Just because they killed Wu Dalang, Wu Song's closest relative and only relative. From this perspective, Wu Song's feelings for Wu Dalang are undoubtedly very deep. Ordinarily, they have been dependent on each other since childhood, and Wu Song has such a good relationship with his eldest brother, so Wu Dalang should also be good to Wu Song. But this is not the case.

First of all, let’s look at Water Margin. From beginning to end, Wu Dalang never said a word of concern for Wu Song, not a single word. Correspondingly, it was his sister-in-law who cared very much about Wu Song. Isn't his brother worse than his sister-in-law?

At that time, Wu Song returned to the county and visited Wu Dalang at home. According to human nature, when the two brothers met, they should have expressed their greetings and at least said a few words of concern, even if it was a formal concern, but Wu Dalang did not. When he saw Wu Song, he said this: "Wu Dutou, you have become rich today, why don't you look down on me?"

Is this sarcasm or ridicule? He actually called Wu Song Dutou, the title of calling a brother. There are only two situations here. One is that Wu Song did something that made Wu Dalang very unhappy, or further, Wu Song did not care more about his brother and did not take enough care of the disabled Dalang. This is possible. At that time, Wu Song had been wandering outside for a year. He was living in a very depressed situation and his life was very unsatisfactory, so he could not take care of Wu Dalang. From this, Wu Dalang had an idea in his mind. The second is that Wu Dalang actually has a disdainful attitude toward Wu Song being the leader, and it seems to have nothing to do with him, so he said this.

When Li Kui, whom he had not seen for a long time, went down the mountain to pick up his mother, no matter how much trouble Li Kui caused to their family, when the blind old woman knew that Li Kui was back, she immediately He asked with concern: "My son, you have been gone for a long time! Where have you settled down in the past few years?"

As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Since Wu Dalang raised him, why did Wu Dalang treat Wu Song so little? Don't you care?

It turns out that there are historical reasons for this. Wu Song loved to drink, and even drank excessively, which caused a lot of trouble. Wu Dalang remembered it in his heart, and even said to Wu Song: "When I blamed you, when you were in Qinghe County, you drank and got drunk, and others Fighting, I always have to go to court, and I have never had to deal with it for a month. This is where I blame you. I recently got a young man from Qinghe County. No matter how brave you are, no one can make the decision. No one dares to do anything when you are at home. I can’t live there now, so I have to move here to rent a house.”

It can be seen from this that Wu Dalang actually has a lot of grievances in his heart. He is a disabled person, his living ability is not strong, and he is always bullied with cold eyes. However, Wu Song did not give him more help, and even often drank and made trouble. Wu Song wanted to be sued for beating someone, so the yamen had no choice but to notify Wu Dalang to go to the yamen to deal with it. Wu Dalang was extremely annoyed.

I have already lived such a bad life, but I still have an ignorant younger brother. This is how I become depressed.

Compared with Wu Dalang's lukewarm attitude and even insinuations, his sister-in-law was much more enthusiastic. She took the initiative to invite Wu Song to live at home. Her idea was that when a family is together, there will always be friends. After a mouthful of hot rice and a mouthful of hot soup, she said: "How can those people wait on my uncle? Why don't you move in with the same family? When you want some soup in the morning and evening, the slave family will personally arrange to eat with your uncle. It's not better than this gang of picklings." People arranged the food, so my uncle ate the clear soup and felt relieved."

After listening to Jin Lian's words, Wu Dalang said: "Second brother, please move here and teach me how to fight. tone.

”

My sister-in-law asked Wu Song to move in because she wanted Wu Song to drink something hot, but Wu Dalang asked Wu Song to go home to embolden himself and to show his face. The two had completely different starting points. .

In fact, the relationship between the two brothers is not good, both because of Wu Dalang and more because of Wu Song. You are a tiger-fighting hero, a strong man, and a capable person. Facing your own brother, you have trouble. When you are disabled and your life is unsatisfactory in all aspects, you should take more care, care and give more. However, Wu Song is only addicted to alcohol and the title of tiger-fighting hero, and he really doesn't care about Wuhan University.

So, once relatives don’t get along well, they often become enemies.
