Chapter 128 Loss

Ban Chen was arguing with Old Man Jiang as they returned to the straw hut.

After turning around the sheep pen, he suddenly saw a boy standing with his back to him on the narrow dirt road.

Somehow, he felt as if his heart stopped beating for a moment, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

Old man Jiang next to him was still chattering on and on, but he could no longer hear anything.

At this moment, the only thing in his eyes was the boy in front of him, a boy who should not have appeared in such a poor and dirty environment.

He had only one thought in his mind

The ground here is covered with mud mixed with cow dung, and the foul air of the dilapidated cowshed does not match this clean and tidy boy at all.

The white sneakers on his feet are dirty. This person shouldn't be here.

Ban Li was very sure at this moment.

The person behind him was his brother. The blood connection was unmistakable. Just hearing his voice was enough to make him burst into tears.

It took all his strength to move his stiff legs.

Tears blurred his vision, and he couldn't see the tall man in front of him. He could only barely make out his gray clothes.

He wanted to open his mouth and call out "brother", but when he opened his mouth, only cries of grievance came out.

Ban Chen was not surprised at this moment, but frightened.

He would not admit his mistake. Although he hadn't seen me for more than ten years, this crying habit of his was like a bear, and it hadn't changed at all since he was a child.

This is his younger brother who should stay in Hong Kong!

Didn’t we tell him to stay in Hong Kong?

Not listening again!

Ban Chen quickly stepped forward and gave his brother, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, a lecture.

He demanded sternly, "Why are you here? Hurry up, go back the way you came! Right now!"

"elder brother!"

Ban Li's heart finally settled after being yelled at by his brother. He closed his eyes and burst into tears, then climbed onto Ban Chen using his hands and feet like a sloth.

That’s right, that’s the feeling. He hasn’t listened to his brother’s teachings for more than ten years, so it feels so reassuring to hear him now.

Ban Chen held his heavy brother in his arms and it would be a lie to say that he didn't want to cry. His brother had grown taller and heavier, but his crying habit hadn't changed.

"Okay, stop howling. If the people on the farm hear you, your brother will be in trouble again."

Ban Li immediately covered his mouth and obediently let his brother carry him to the straw hut.

After spreading the quilt and placing his younger brother in the haystack, Ban Chen went to find some cloth to wipe his younger brother's face.

"Stay here, I'll get some water to clean your face."

"Yeah, brother, I'll wait for you to come back."

Ban Li calmed down a little now, and looked around the straw hut from time to time.

After looking at him, he wanted to cry even more.

This straw hut is not even as big as their toilet in Causeway Bay. There is no door, no table, no bed, no lamp, and not even a stool!

He thought Ye Zi's family was poor enough, but he didn't expect that his brother was even poorer and not even as well off as the homeless people in Hong Kong.

After Ban Chen finished wringing out the rag, he came back and saw that his little kid was about to cry again.

Without thinking, she manually turned off the microphone and covered her stupid brother's face with a rag and rubbed it.

"Don't cry. It's embarrassing to cry at such a age."

Old man Jiang standing by had just recovered from the shocking impact.

Oh my God, did the brother that Ban Chen talked about fall from the sky?

I went over to look at Ban Li,

"Oh, this child is really good-looking, much more likable than you, teacher."

Ban Chen didn't have time to play tricks on him at the moment, so he sent Old Man Jiang aside and asked Ban Li why he was here.

"How can you come to the mainland? The situation here is still unstable. What if they catch you?"

Ban Li took a few deep breaths, and cried, blurting out words one by one.

"I came here with a friend, hiccup! He's also a capitalist, hiccup! The provincial leaders are all, hiccup!..."

Ban Chen barely pieced together the cause and effect.

What a coincidence! His brother actually knew the Ye family's most powerful capitalist.

Seeing Ye Yang standing next to Bai Wei, Ban Chen thanked the Ye family for their care on behalf of his brother.

"Thank you Mr. Ye and his family for taking care of my brother. I don't have much to say. Thank you."

Ye Yang has come here so many times, but he has never received much attention from Mr. Ban. It’s not that he looks down on others, but it seems that he is simply too lazy to pay attention to him.

I didn't expect Mr. Ban to be so polite today, which made Ye Yang not know how to respond.

"Mr. Ban, please don't be polite. It was Xiaolin who was with them. They were just kids playing together. There's no point in thanking them."

Today, Ban Chen was in a very good mood and his manners were extremely considerate.

"You have to thank me. When I can leave here, I will definitely come to thank you."

"Mr. Ban, you're too polite..."

While the two were praising each other, Ye Lin and Director Wu had already visited the pigpen.

Director Wu was full of energy and vigor at this moment.

Just now, Boss Ye actually said that he wanted to invest in their farm, and he wanted to give them 10,000 yuan first!

His first thought was that ten thousand yuan was enough to fill the financial gap for more than ten years!

Bah! How could he have such an outrageous idea? Starting next year, their farm will definitely not lose money anymore!

"So, most of the meat from our farm is only supplied to the canteens of state-owned factories?"

Hearing the words of the newly-minted sponsor, Director Wu immediately got into the state and told Ye Lin about the business situation of the venue.

"Most of it is supplied to state-owned factories. Some is purchased internally by workers from various factories. There is very little that is sold outside."

“Why are there so few takeout orders?”

"Why else? Of course we're not making any money. Every state-owned factory needs at least half a pig or half a sheep a day. It's a fixed business, they do it as soon as they open. If we expect ordinary people without tickets to buy, we won't be able to sell a single pig in a day."

Picking up the grass ears on the ground, Ye Lin tried to feed the piglets. The black and white piglets came over to sniff it, then walked away with their tails wagging and a snort in disdain.

Seeing that Ye Lin was interested in feeding pigs, Director Wu began to talk about the food for the piglets in the farm.

"These little guys are always eating. They won't eat unless they mix some fruit or cornmeal with it. They only eat fresh food every meal. They live a more comfortable life than we do."
