After returning home, Li Qiuhuo heated up the buns she had just bought in a pot and made a simple meal.
Seeing Yang Guoqing sitting at the door in a daze, she asked, "Old man, you can't be soft-hearted. No matter how much the third brother throws a tantrum, you can't agree to let him go to Shanghai with us."
The children have finally established themselves in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. As a mother, she also wants to be selfish for once. She doesn't want any privacy that may be detrimental to their future development to exist.
"Don't worry, I'm not that confused."
"How can I be relieved? When I saw you like that today, it was obvious that you were soft-hearted."
The third brother is indeed hateful, but he is indeed pitiful now, especially since their two families are reunited in Shanghai. The old man must feel very uncomfortable when he thinks of him being alone and helpless. She is just worried that he will soften his heart and agree.
"After all, they are brothers."
The next day, Yang Guoqing rode his bicycle to the town in the morning, one to buy some vegetables and other daily necessities, the other to pick up the things Yang Liu had sent, which should arrive today.
Li Qiuhe had already told Yao Caiying yesterday not to cook, as there were not many people around, so they could just come to her house for dinner.
Just then, at noon, when the four of them were sitting around the table eating, Yang Laosan came over in a nonchalant manner.
When he saw the braised pork belly and green beans on the table, his mouth was almost watering.
"Eat?" he asked, rubbing his stomach. His eyes had long been fixed on the delicious food on the table.
Yao Caiying had no good feelings towards him and wanted to kick him out.
I rolled my eyes and thought to myself: Isn't this a question you ask even though you already know the answer?
Li Qiuhuo saw his expression and knew that he had not eaten, so she went in and got out a set of bowls and chopsticks. Without waiting for anyone to invite her, she sat down and picked up the delicious dish in the middle and put it directly into her own bowl.
Originally, when he arrived, the four of them had almost finished eating. Now seeing that he looked like he hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, even if they had a good appetite, it was gone.
So they all came over tacitly and gave him their seats to avoid affecting his performance.
But in the blink of an eye, he had devoured all the food on the table, and he almost finished eating the bowl.
Seeing him like this, they felt really disappointed in him.
It's obvious that this man hasn't had a full meal for many days.
Seeing that he was burping while eating, Li Qiuhe was particularly considerate and poured him a glass of water.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Yao Caiying couldn't help but ask, "We've eaten and drunk, and yesterday Big Brother asked you to think carefully about the conditions. Have you thought of any?"
After drinking the water, Yang Lao San burped, then touched his round belly and said contentedly, "I won't ask for anything else. I'm not lucky enough to go to Shanghai, but I have nothing at home now. Even a good cook can't cook without rice. What can you do?"
This guy is totally devoted to his own family.
"We'll see what we can do. We should send you directly to the cell to prevent you from causing trouble outside." Yao Caiying snorted.
Yang Lao San curled his lips and grumbled dissatisfiedly: "Even if I want to live a good life, apart from other things, I still need a place to live, food and daily necessities."
His meaning was very clear, he was asking them for money blatantly.
"Don't worry about the house. My second brother and I will find someone to help you build it. As for food and daily necessities, you will have to rely on yourself."
His Liu'er was right. People like Third Uncle were the most lazy and greedy. If he got a taste of success, he would definitely ask them for money endlessly in the future.
Finally, under the witness of the secretary, three rules were agreed upon.
They helped him build his house, and then bought him daily necessities such as rice, flour, oil and salt, which were enough for him to eat until the autumn harvest next year.
The third brother’s land was gone a long time ago, so even if he wanted to farm now, he had no place to do so.
After a final discussion, Yang Guoqing decided to let him farm on his own land. After all, those plots of land had good water resources and were conveniently located. As long as he was willing to work hard, it would be no problem for him to support himself with the harvest from the land alone.
The two brothers helped him solve his current food, drink, and toilet needs, but also asked him not to do any sneaky things in the future. Fearing that he would default on his promise, they wrote a special statement and asked him to sign it.
If he does something contrary to the above in the future, the secretary will directly send him to jail with written instructions.
Even the king of heaven can't stop him.
Seeing that his plan failed, Yang Laosan made up another excuse, saying that he wanted to know what to do if he needed money in his daily life, so he hoped that the boss and the others could give him some money to support him.
Yang Guoqing knew his character and finally rejected him.
But what he said made sense. In the end, he left some money for the secretary, saying that if the third brother really had a headache or fever and needed money, the secretary would pay for it.
But don't tell him that this is what they left for him, otherwise if this person finds out, he will probably ask for it every day.
The two brothers stayed at home and invited a few people to help. It only took them about ten days to build Yang Laosan's house. This time the main focus was on making it sturdy.
The bad things he had done before had caused a lot of trouble to the villagers. Before leaving, they invited everyone to their home for dinner, and then distributed the local specialties that had been sent from Shanghai to everyone.
One is to apologize to others, and the other is to hope that everyone will be more tolerant of the third brother in the future for their sake.
After all, after they left, the emperor was far away and couldn't always take care of him.
Seeing how sincere they were, inviting them to dinner and giving them gifts, the villagers were very happy and willing to put aside their past grudges. They said that as long as Yang Laosan didn't do those immoral things in the future, they would let bygones be bygones.
After arranging all these, Yang Guoqing bought some cigarettes and alcohol and went to the secretary's house. His main purpose was to ask for help from him. After all, if something happened in the future, as long as he, the secretary, was willing to come out and uphold justice, he believed that everyone would still be willing to give him some face.
During this period, the men were busy building the house, but Li Qiuhe and Yao Caiying lived a very comfortable life. After cooking every day, they went to the village to chat with their former neighbors.
Only then did they realize that a lot had happened in the village during the years they were away.
As spectators, they also truly ate the melon.
It has to be said that each piece of news they heard was more shocking than the last. If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, they wouldn't have believed it.
