Zhu Zi felt a slight sense of loss. After all, everyone had been at the same level before, all working hard in the fields. Suddenly one day, his brother's family rose up and their lives got better and better. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

His wife didn't understand his good intentions, and Zhu Zi, a man, felt extremely uncomfortable.

In fact, sometimes the biggest fear between brothers is the difference between people, which can cause them to go from familiar to estranged, and then to strangers.

Fortunately, the Ye family's invitation to this banquet wasn't simply to celebrate their new house.

Who's gone mad? Why is He Xinfang cooking so many dishes just to make people uncomfortable?

Seeing that everyone was silent and not eating, Grandma Wang Cuihua quickly gestured to her son Ye Tianyong, her husband Ye Yaozu, to talk about what they had discussed together that night.

Ye Yaozu: "..."

Wang Cuihua glared at her husband several times, finding him utterly unappealing. So, in a corner where no one could see, she twisted Ye Yaozu like a pretzel.

"Sigh~~~," Ye Yaozu gasped, feeling more wronged than Dou E.

Shouldn't Tianyong, the son, be the one to talk about his own affairs?

This old man, even in his old age, still has to endure his wife's wrath.

Even the snow in June couldn't have wronged him.

Fortunately, with his mother's prompting and his father's mournful gaze, Ye Tianyong didn't forget the important matter.

Ye Tianyong paused for a moment, then began to organize his thoughts, “Tiger, Pillar, Mouse, Dog, Uncle Wang… you are all my brothers, friends of the Ye family—brothers and sisters. These past few years, we’ve all had a tough time because of the crop failures in the fields.”

"Although life is tough, we will never forget the help you all gave to our Ye family."

"Right now, I have a reliable business opportunity. I wonder if you're interested, or rather, willing to work with me?"

Before Ye Tianyong could finish speaking, Zhu Zi was the first to raise his hand and say, "I'm willing."

Although the others didn't speak up as promptly as Zhu Zi, their expressions revealed a lot.

As expected, no one objected.

Recently, they have watched as the Ye family's life has improved day by day thanks to their braised skewers business. Compared to before, it's a qualitative leap.

They had long wanted to do something to make money.

Previously, the Ye family hadn't spoken up, and they didn't want to take advantage of the past favors they had received, such as grain and vegetables, to seek revenge.

After all, if they were to do that, it must be because they genuinely felt that Ye Tianyong was an unreliable brother and not worth associating with.

Fortunately, no one became impatient. Instead, they settled down and focused on their own work, knowing that their good brother Ye Tianyong would not forget them.

Although they always felt a little uneasy, they also understood Ye Tianyong's character because they had grown up together and had interacted with him for a long time.

Know.

perhaps.

Maybe.

Ye Tianyong will never forget them.

***

Seeing that everyone's expressions were no longer as downcast as before, Grandma Wang Cuihua quickly arranged for them to eat first.

However, Ye Tianyong's words piqued their curiosity, and their desire to make money naturally led them to want to hear what good jobs Ye Tianyong had in store for them to do together.
