The three brothers continued drinking and chatting.

Gu Shouxin has been here for three months now, and he has a pretty good impression of these two adopted brothers.

"Brother, are you still planning to farm next year? And then find some odd jobs at the town's docks? Haven't you thought about doing anything else?" Gu Shouxin asked.

“That’s right! I can’t do anything else either!” Uncle Gu said.

“I saw that you sold New Year’s goods quite well before the New Year! Niannian and Xinxin said that after the first three days, you sold out almost every morning,” Gu Shouxin said.

"That's because your family makes good food!" Uncle Gu didn't think it was his own achievement at all. "Second son, you could open your own shop! Besides New Year's goods, you could sell other things too! You can't just rely on making money during the few days of the New Year."

“But we’re too busy! Look at my wife!” Gu Shouxin nodded to the women by the brazier.

“That’s true. Niannian is so pretty; we can’t let her show her face in public. It wouldn’t be good if someone snatched her away. Xinxin is still too young; my second sister-in-law can’t manage all the work by herself,” Uncle Gu said, shaking his head.

Gu Shouxin: "..."

Hey bro, what I mean is, your sister-in-law isn't selling food, she's going to start a big business! How did you even come up with that idea?

"Second brother, do you mean to let eldest brother continue selling things?" Uncle Gu was a little more normal than Uncle Gu and understood what Gu Shouxin meant.

Gu Shouxin nodded, finally there was something normal.

“Me, go sell things? No way, second son, the family can’t do without me. We have over twenty acres of land! How can we finish farming it all without me?” Uncle Gu shook his head repeatedly.

He is very clear about his position in the family.

"Is your mother's hand broken or her foot lame? Before I gave birth to you bunch of bastards, I managed all thirty-odd acres of land by myself! How could I not need you?" Grandma Gu suddenly appeared, looking at Uncle Gu with disdain.

“Mom! How can you say that! You were young then, and Dad could do some work too!” Uncle Gu said aggrievedly.

He was the undisputed leader in farming at home, and he would not allow anyone to challenge his position.

"Oh, so you mean your father and I are getting old and will have to rely on you?" Grandma Gu glanced at Uncle Gu.

"No." Uncle Gu shook his head without hesitation. "It's just that you're getting old, Mom and Dad. Shouldn't you be enjoying the blessings of your son? I'm tall and strong, how could I let you work so hard! Hehe."

Grandma Gu rolled her eyes at him: "Your father and I don't need you to support us. What about your children? Have you prepared Huihui's dowry? What about Enzi's school fees? Is Sisi's dowry being saved? Renzi will have to go to school when he grows up, won't he?"

Uncle Gu looked somewhat frightened, then said with annoyance, "I just wanted to have one child. Look how easy it is for Uncle Yang! How much dowry does Xiao Huan have? It's just that the mother insisted on having the child, what could I do!"

Gu Shouxin and his fourth uncle were speechless. Is having a child a one-person affair? Brother, you yourself said you're tall and strong, how could you be forced by your sister-in-law?

Grandma Gu was so angry that she slapped Uncle Gu across the face: "You good-for-nothing! You only care about giving birth and not raising your children! Huihui is enough! You should take out the same amount of dowry I prepared for your third sister right now, and then I'll say you're a man!"

Uncle Gu: "...Mother, it's not that I don't want to earn money, it's that the money just won't come!"
