"Brother Wei, we really troubled you last night. None of us can hold our liquor, so we're really sorry."

When the group woke up, they looked at Wei Baidao with a face full of apologies.

Wei Baidao hadn't taken it seriously at all; it was just a matter of staying at home for one night. Seeing that they even came to apologize, his impression of these people improved even more.

"It's alright, let's have some breakfast together before we get to work." There wasn't much food at home, and thankfully these people brought some things yesterday.

It was supposed to be a thank-you gift, but it contained some flour and a piece of meat; otherwise, he wouldn't have had anything to offer as a treat.

Wei Baidao asked Su Nianyou to make breakfast, because he couldn't lose face in front of others.

Even though Su Nianyou was reluctant, she knew she couldn't be stingy now; she was hoping her family could leave a good impression on these people.

If anything good happens in the future, others will remember them.

“Everyone’s eating, so one more won’t make a difference.” Wei Baide had been waiting, and seeing that they didn’t seem to care about him, he walked over.

He gets a share of everything in this family, so why should they eat the good stuff while he has to watch?

"You!" Su Nianyou wanted to kick him out, but Wei Baidao stopped her. Yesterday was already embarrassing enough, and he didn't want to be laughed at in front of outsiders today.

"What are you saying, brother? Although we have separated our families, we can't let our brothers go hungry."

"Even though you starved your own daughter to death, you're still my brother, so sit down and eat with me."

"Wife, could you also serve a bowl to Mother? We can't let her go hungry."

Wei Baidao's words were meant to make it clear to others that he had fought this person yesterday because the person truly deserved to be hit.

He exposed all his secrets and also took the opportunity to show off his filial piety.

When Wei Baide heard him bring up the matter again, he was about to get angry, but when he saw the other people around him, he knew that if they really started arguing, he would end up not getting any benefits.

Let the third brother gloat for a while. When he comes back tonight, he'll have a serious talk with him.

The family enjoyed a rare peaceful breakfast, and after the meal, Wei Baidao, full of vigor, led his men to repair the bridge.

When he saw the team members on the way, he stood tall and proud, as if he wasn't going to repair the bridge, but to do something earth-shattering.

"Tch! What's he showing off for!" The team members were all very resentful seeing him like that. Why should such a good life be given to someone like him?

Thinking of what the brigade leader had said, they could only swallow their resentment.

Wei Baidao felt that they were all envious of him, which made him even more proud, and he felt that even God was on his side.

His wife once said that he was the chosen one and would have a great future, and now he feels that everything his wife said is true.

The people following him frowned. Could someone like this really be of any help to them?

Wei Baidao, walking on the road, and Wei Baichuan, sitting in the car, passed each other by.

Wei Baidao, who had just been gloating, suddenly felt his spirits plummet.

"Brother Wei, was that your second brother just now? I heard he was switched at birth, but he's actually quite a figure?"

"But no matter what, they're brothers who grew up together. Now that he's living a good life, shouldn't he help his brother out?"

"But I think he looks down on you a bit. He even rolled his eyes at you in the car just now."

Seeing the hatred in Wei Baidao's eyes, the leader of the group began to have other ideas.

"He won't help me!" Wei Baidao thought they were right. They were brothers who grew up together. Now that he was doing better, they should help him out.

But his good second brother is selfish. Ever since he married a good wife, he has disowned his family. What's more, now?

"He's really a terrible person. If it were me, I'd rather not have a brother like that. If I can't get anything good out of him, I'd let him end up with nothing."

The leader made a casual remark, as if he were speaking up for Wei Baidao.

Wei Baidao felt that these people were absolutely right. If he had the chance, he would definitely destroy all of this. If he couldn't have it, no one else could either.

But he doesn't have the ability yet. Compared to those people in Beijing, what can a country bumpkin like him do?

No matter how much he hated it, he didn't say anything more, but this incident planted a seed of hatred in his heart.

"Were those people who were following Wei Baidao from our brigade?" Not only did Wei Baidao notice them, but Su Di also saw them.

She felt that the people from earlier were unfamiliar and probably not from her brigade.

"I don't know him. He's not from our brigade, nor from any of the surrounding brigades," Wei Baichuan replied affirmatively.

"I feel like those people are acting strange." Suti couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

It seems that no one would want to associate with the Wei family, but these people are actually trying to get close to them, acting like brothers with Wei Baidao.

"I guess they're from the bridge construction team." Apart from the bridge builders, Wei Baidao doesn't know anyone else.

"That makes it even more suspicious. Anyone who gets sent to repair the bridge, except for those from our brigade, is someone with connections within the brigade."

"Everyone is vying for this job, and in the end, the one who gets it will definitely be a family that has influence in the brigade."

"The various brigades aren't far apart; they're all from the same commune. What news can't they get?"

“How could they not know about the Wei family? And now they’re getting so close to Wei Baidao. Something just doesn’t seem right.”

Suti's words stuck in Qi Feng's mind, who was driving in front.

"I also feel something's not right. How about I go and find out about those people for you?"

At this critical juncture, anything that seems amiss deserves their thorough investigation.

The two children didn't know, but he knew very well that there were people hiding behind the scenes.

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle, to help us investigate. Wei Baidao is a brainless fool. I don't think he's worth anyone's attention. I'm just worried that those people's motives aren't pure."

Suti was even more afraid that those people were coming for them, and that they were completely unaware of it.

Qi Feng felt that the more he got to know his daughter-in-law, the more enigmatic she became; she was both intelligent and cautious.

He couldn't help but envy the Guo family; they really knew how to raise their children. He'd heard that the eldest son had just made a great contribution in the army, and this little girl was no ordinary person either.

Wei Baichuan always felt that his wife was exceptionally easy to talk to, and he thought that was good, since one of the couples should be easy to get along with.

As for who is truly easier to get along with, that depends on how others perceive it.

When the two arrived at the location, they told Qi Feng their afternoon work schedule, and only after everyone left did they enter the brigade together.

"Hey comrade, we've finally waited for you."

Suti and Wei Baichuan hadn't taken more than a few steps when they were stopped by a group of people.
