"You've seen my brother?"

Nan Yu: "Mm."

Chen Pandi: "How is he?"

Nan Yu: "It's fine."

Chen Pandi: "Do your family members scold him?"

Nan Yu asked, puzzled, "Why are you scolding him?"

“My brother spends money like crazy. He wants the best of everything, which made my dad cough up blood from exhaustion. My sister married a cripple at the edge of the village because of him. The dowry was 10,000 yuan, and he bought him a cell phone, but that wasn't enough. My brother wanted to buy it for his girlfriend too. He even tried to jump off a building. The hospital fees and surgery fees almost dragged my family to death. Brother, you won't end up like my brother, will you?”

Chen Pandi said all this just to test the waters with her last sentence: if this person is another spendthrift, the Chen family can't stand it and will pack him up and send him away overnight.

Now there are two younger brothers.

My younger brother is optional.

The system was not there, so he was unaware of certain things from God's perspective. He frowned as he listened to Chen Pandi's words, but he was more concerned about Wen Zhuo at the moment.

"No. Are there any cell towers around here?"

Chen Pandi asked, puzzled, "Huh?"

"Chen Xu wants to buy a cell phone, and a cell phone can only be used if it has a signal, that is, the signal."

Chen Pandi understood. "My family doesn't have any. I see my brother running up the mountain to play, but he's not home often. He's always hanging out outside. He should be able to play in town."

"Where is the town? How long will it take to walk there?"

Chen Pandi: "It takes five hours to walk, but cycling is faster."

"How do I get there? Do you have a map?"

Chen Pandi: "What? What's a map?"

"Route, could you hand-draw a route map for me?"

Chen Pandi scratched the back of her head, her rosy cheeks turning even redder with embarrassment. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Nan Yu gave up, thinking that he would ask this older sister tomorrow if she could take him there. As long as the message was sent out, it didn't matter if he stayed here.

The wick asked, "Aren't you going to rest?"

Chen Pandi yawned. "Sleep."

She brought a tattered cotton quilt from outside and threw a rolled-up straw mat on the ground, raising a lot of dust that made Nan Yu cough. Chen Pandi spread out the quilt and prepared to lie down.

Nan Yu got out of bed to stop her, "Are you asleep? Are you afraid I'll run away?"

Chen Pandi exclaimed and explained, "Our house is small. My brother is gone, so this room is just me and my sisters. When you come back, they'll all be sleeping in the pigsty. I'm not going to put up with this. I'd rather sleep on the floor than smell pig manure."

Nan Yu was shocked. She knew the Chen family was poor, but she never expected that her children would have to sleep in a pigsty just because she was there.

"How did you guys sleep before? Was Chen Xu willing to squeeze in?"

In families that favor sons over daughters, sons usually have their own bedrooms. Chen Xu should be sleeping alone, so where did they live before?

“We used to sleep in sheds and pigsties. We used to sleep in the main room, but a fortune teller said that girls who slept in the main room couldn’t have sons, so my parents wouldn’t let us sleep there anymore.”

Nan Yu couldn't understand the family's preference for sons over daughters. Even if he was a boy himself, and even if he couldn't treat them all equally, there was no need to be so biased.

Looking into Chen Pandi's innocent eyes, Nan Yu felt a pang of sadness. She got out of bed and said, "You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."

Chen Pandi was shocked and quickly shook her head: "How can that be? You're a man."

Nan Yu was taken aback: "What does this have to do with men and women?"

Chen Pandi: "Of course, boys should have the best, but I'll sleep on the floor."

From the conversation, I thought Chen Pandi would be a rebellious person, but I didn't expect her mind to be corrupted. Thinking about it, it's understandable. Their environment and knowledge limited their thinking. Chen Pandi is already very good.

Nan Yu went downstairs and gave the bed to Chen Pandi.

Chen Pandi declined, saying, "You go to sleep, brother."

Nan Yu didn't want to argue, so he lay down on the floor to sleep. The bedding wasn't clean, and he felt like small insects were crawling on him. After a while, he sat up and saw that Chen Pandi was just sitting on the edge of the bed, not lying down.

Nan Yu: "Why aren't you asleep?"

Chen Pandi: "If you make me sleep in the bed, my dad will come and see me tomorrow, and I'll be in big trouble."

Nan Yu: "I will help you explain."

Chen Pandi: "No."

Nan Yu couldn't change Chen Pandi's stubborn mindset in a short time, so she had no choice but to get up and try to change her mind.

Only then did the other person agree to sleep.

Nan Yu: "..."

I spent a sleepless night.

The bed was hard, and he felt sore all over.

When Nan Yu woke up, she found her suitcase and toiletries were still there, and she had even been given several bags of candy. She sighed.

The eldest daughter got married.

The second and third daughters also got married.

Even the children are running around everywhere.

Hearing that his younger brother had returned, the whole family rushed back to see him.

People raised in the mountains are rough around the edges. Even if someone has good features, they still have a strong sense of simplicity. The Lin family does love their son, and Nan Yu is raised with delicate skin. If you look closely, his features resemble those of Chen's mother: a high nose and big eyes.

The silhouette also looks like someone who has won the lottery.

She is indeed outstanding among her siblings.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen were also worried. Was this really their biological son?

They look like celestial beings from heaven.

Not only them, but the neighbors also came to see what was going on.

Nan Yu was surrounded by onlookers like a monkey all morning, with his older sisters watching him over and over again. Chen Pandi hadn't seen clearly last night because she was using a candle, but since waking up this morning, she hadn't been able to take her eyes off him.

The Chen family was exceptionally poor.

The stone house has a large room on the right.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen lived with their twins.

The main hall in the middle.

The small room on the left used to be Chen Xu's room, and it didn't have a second floor.

Next to the pigsty in the house was a small shed with a bed made of bricks. A layer of straw, a mattress, and a sheet were laid on top to make a bed. The Chen sisters would squeeze in there.

The environment is suffocating.

Nan Yu was only somewhat familiar with Chen Pandi.

He walked up to her and asked, "Can you take me to a place with a signal? I need to send a message to my friend."

Chen Pandi: "There's a lot of work to do at home."

Nan Yu said anxiously, "I'll help you with that later, you take me there first."

No one knew what he was going to do. Chen's mother, holding Nan Yu... her younger brother, walked over and breastfed him. When Deng Xin saw this, she quickly looked away, feeling embarrassed.

Others were clearly unaware.

Chen's mother frowned: "What? We're out of money."

The Chen family was truly terrified of Chen Xu.

Just as Nan Yu was about to look at Chen's mother, he caught a glimpse of his little brother drinking milk. After all, he was an adult now, and besides, he had never lived with Chen's mother and was practically a stranger to her, so it was a bit awkward.

His gaze fell on Chen Pandi's face, but he said to Chen's mother, "I don't need to spend any money, I have something to do."

Chen Pandi blushed with embarrassment under their gaze. She didn't want to be stared at, but her younger brother was just too handsome. She explained to her mother:

"Mom, what message does my younger brother want to send to his friend? Just like with Xiaoxu's phone, we don't have a signal at home, so we have to go to town. Oh, Mom, do we have enough eggs? If we do, I can take them to sell."

"If we go to town now, won't it be dark by then?"

Chen Pandi scratched her head.

I don't know what to say. It's true, now when I go to town, it's dark when I come back. In the past, I would leave for town at two or three in the morning and get home around five or six in the afternoon.

Fifth Sister Chen Sidi: "Are you going? I want to go too."
