However, Ah Zu's father was useless. He drank every day, got drunk every day, and did not do any work. He became a burden to his family. When Ah Zu was young, his father got drunk and broke Ah Zu's leg. The child's uncles and aunts did not agree to spend any money to save Ah Zu's leg. So, the child's grandmother carried Ah Zu to someone in the village who knew how to fix bones. Unfortunately, it was not repaired correctly, so Ah Zu's right leg had a limp.
Ah Zu did not go to school. He stayed at home and worked non-stop daily. His uncles wanted Ah Zu to do all his father's work.
Ah Zu's grandmother passed away when Ah Zu was 20 years old. Then, Ah Zu left the village to find work elsewhere. He accidentally met Brother Ding, and then followed him around for so many years.
