Jiang Mingzhu's expression turned somewhat gloomy upon hearing this, and after a long while, she finally spoke, "Let your older brother accompany you."

It's just going to find Lin San and ask him to make a couple of pots, why does Jiang Mingyi have to come along?

Could it be that the Lin family has a shrew?

Gu An'an smiled, scooped some lard into the pot with her chopsticks, and said, "Keep it on low heat."

Jiang Mingzhu quickly started the bellows and forgot about the matter for a moment.

...

Gu Erhu was hauling bricks for the fourth time, and he was covered in sweat from the cold weather. "This many bricks are enough. Let's go home after this trip. I'm starving."

There's no need to expect this heartless girl to prepare any food for him; Gu Erhu knows his sister's character all too well.

Gu Dalong was also exhausted and hungry, but he was worried about the low courtyard wall. "I still need to haul at least four more truckloads of bricks. I can't handle it by myself when you go back."

"Then you should go back too. What are you doing this for? She works so hard hauling bricks back and forth, and she won't even give you a sip of hot water. Don't you feel bad, brother?"

Gu Dalong looked flustered upon hearing this, "Don't say that."

We're almost at the girl's house, what should I do if she hears me shouting like this?

Gu Erhu's voice grew louder and louder, "I really want her to hear this, to let her know how much I've done..."

"Big brother and second brother are back. I made a simple meal. Come and have some water and something to eat first. Please don't mind the food."

Gu Erhu was dumbfounded. Was this still the same sister he knew from the same mother?
