"I made dumplings tonight and saved some for you. I'm going to cook them, and we'll eat right away," Chunni said with a sly smile.

Hearing the commotion, Li Mancang came out of the house. "Coming back so late, has your older brother caused trouble again?"

Second brother: "No, it's a long way to and from here, and we were delayed on the way."

"Going further away is better. Get some rest after you finish eating," Li Mancang said without asking where the food was taken, and then went back inside.

Wu Zhiqi wasn't asleep inside either.

"The second brother is back. He rented a house for the eldest brother and settled him in," Li Mancang said to Wu Zhiqi as he returned to the house.

"I wonder if he'll learn his lesson and stop this now," Wu Zhiqi said helplessly.

Li Mancang: "Let's go to the hot springs in a couple of days. Out of sight, out of mind. We can't spoil the second and third sons. If they can't find us, they won't have any tricks up their sleeves."

Wu Zhiqi: "It's all because we spoiled him. He was good at studying when he was young, and we gave him all the good things in the house. He thought that everything in the house belonged to him, and that we should treat him well unconditionally."

"It's innate. Some people are born to collect debts. Back then, if a family had a child who did well in school, their family would look down on them. Why didn't others act like Li Xingguo? Take Baoyu, for example. Li Xiu was biased. Did he act like Li Xingguo? After he started working, even though he knew his family wasn't short of money, he still gave them money every month and bought them things. He was so filial."

Li Mancang was furious. Back then, it was so difficult for an ordinary family to produce a college student. Which family wouldn't favor such a child? Who was as heartless as Li Xingguo? He was a born debt collector.

Wu Zhiqi: "He doesn't respect his family at all. If he had listened to you, he would have sold his stocks long ago, the kids wouldn't be going to international school, he's about to retire, and he'd be living a good life."

Li Mancang: "His second and third sons are doing better than him, they're stronger than him, and he's resentful and competitive from the bottom of his heart. It's all his own fault. Fortunately, he has a salary, and a stable life is enough for him."

Wu Zhiqi sighed. Could Li Xingguo accept his fate? Could he settle down?

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning, the family had breakfast.

"Since we still have a few days of holiday left, Erbao and Sanbao, come with me to the bungalow to plant the land," Chunni said to her two sons. After Dabao got married, he lived alone. After attending Xiaoyu's wedding, the couple went back to their own home.

"Should you call me Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law?" Sanbao asked.

“Your sister-in-law is pregnant, why are you asking them to do anything? Don’t they do any work? You just feel uncomfortable seeing others doing nothing,” Chunni said irritably.

Sanbao shrank his neck and said, "I was just asking."

Chunni: "You're just lazy, I know that about you."

Young Master Bai, having nothing to do at home, went along too, just in case one of the neighbors offended Second Sister-in-law; he hadn't heard Second Sister-in-law swear in a long time.

The second brother had other things to do at the farm, so he didn't go back.

So the four of them went back.

"Mom, there are only three and a half of us. When will we be able to finish planting?" Sanbao sighed as he drove.

Young Master Bai counted the heads. "No, what do you mean? How come I'm only half a person? You can treat me like I'm not a person when you're working, but you can't treat me like I'm only half a person, can you?"

"Then if you don't count as a person, when will the three of you finish?" Sanbao changed his tune.

Young Master Bai: "You're not human!"

Sanbao: "You're not the type to do the work, is that alright now?"

Young Master Bai: "Second Sister-in-law, that brat has no manners! Pinch him!"
