The two brothers were terrified. They always knew that the third brother was a ruthless person, but they didn't expect him to be so cruel.
The third brother was different from them when he was young, and his two brothers would team up to bully him.
At that time, the third brother would sometimes tolerate them, and sometimes fight back with all his might.
But they were more in number and older than him, so no matter how powerful the third brother was, he was no match for them.
The two brothers always thought that as long as they joined forces, they could easily control the third brother, but now it seems that they were too naive.
When the third brother gets angry, even the two brothers together can't stand up to him. The younger ones in the family are like chickens seeing an eagle in front of him, and they are so timid that they can't be more timid.
Zhang Guocai glared at the two elder brothers fiercely, his thin body standing guard at the door.
"Haven't you learned enough from your last lesson? It hasn't been long since you came to me again. I've seen people who don't learn from their mistakes, but I've never seen you as forgetful as me."
"Tell me, what is your purpose for coming here this time? Forget about all that high-sounding nonsense. I won't believe it even if you tell me."
Zhang Guoliang moved his lips, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say. Zhang Guodong cleared his throat and coughed several times before speaking.
"What could our purpose be? I just felt really sorry for what happened last time, so I wanted to come and apologize."
"Right, right, right. We don't have any bad intentions. We just realized our mistakes. We are brothers. Don't you guys give us a chance to make amends?"
Zhang Guoliang saw that what his brother said made sense, so he quickly continued speaking.
"I've already said I don't want to hear your nonsense. I'm asking you one last time. If you're still lying, please leave immediately. If you don't leave, I don't know what I'll do."
Zhang Guocai slammed the stick to the ground, and it made a crisp sound, which scared the two brothers again.
This time the two brothers were silent again. They naturally didn't dare to speak out the little thoughts in their hearts. They were afraid that they would be beaten again if they said such shameful things.
However, Zhang Guocai would not give them the chance to compromise. Not only could they not even enter the door, let alone establish any relationship with them.
The two brothers thought about it again and again, and finally compromised.
Zhang Guodong stared at the tools and bamboo sticks placed in the yard, and said with a grin on his face.
"I heard that you made a lot of money as a bamboo craftsman. I've learned this craft before, and now I'm thinking of partnering with you. How about we do it together?"
"Yes, yes. We learned bamboo craftsmanship together before. At that time, I learned better than you, but I didn't persist because I couldn't make money. Now my skills may not be as good as yours, but the foundation is still there."
Zhang Guoliang rubbed his hands nervously and looked at him cautiously.
The two brothers were eagerly waiting for him to speak, but Jiang Li sneered at this moment.
"When I needed help the most, not only did you not lend a hand, you also accomplices my aunt in her evil deeds, trying to take my child away. Now you want to learn bamboo weaving. How can there be such shameless people like you in this world?"
Jiang Li was telling the truth, but the two brothers disagreed.
"We're not learning from you, so why should you interrupt?"
"What do you know, little girl? Don't interrupt us men when we're talking!"
Jiang Li was filled with rage after hearing what her uncles said. They broke into her house and wanted to learn her skills without letting her speak. How could such a ridiculous thing happen in the world?
"If you don't let Jiang Li speak, then I ask you to shut up too. This matter is non-negotiable. I can't teach you!"
Even if Jiang Li agreed to teach these ungrateful brothers, Zhang Guocai would not agree.
If he is really too busy, even if he recruits two honest outsiders as apprentices, he will never teach these ungrateful people the skills passed down by his niece!
"We are all brothers. Your business is booming and you can't handle it all by yourself. If you don't teach us, do you want to teach outsiders?"
Zhang Guodong spoke confidently, and Zhang Guoliang nodded repeatedly, fearing that he would miss out on good things if he spoke a little slower.
"I won't teach you even if I teach outsiders!"
Zhang Guocai simply said it clearly, otherwise these people who pretended to be deaf and dumb would continue to act stupid.
Zhang Guocai did not give them such an opportunity and even wanted to send them away immediately.
"Zhang Guocai, you are such a heartless person. How could you say such hurtful words?"
Zhang Guodong, who had always been calm, was completely furious this time.
"We are your brothers. Is this human language? What do you mean by teaching others but not us? Do you still have any brotherly love?"
"Is there any need to talk about brotherhood when dealing with people like you who are worse than pigs and dogs? Talking about brotherhood with you is an insult to brotherhood!"
Zhang Guocai was very angry at first, but after talking to them for a while, he calmed down.
He realized that simply beating people would not solve the problem. It would be better to talk to them calmly and reason with them to see who would have the upper hand.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the two brothers began to get angry.
"You, you, what are you talking about? Don't you take us brothers seriously at all?"
Zhang Guodong pointed at Zhang Guocai with trembling fingers, unable to believe that he would say such cruel words.
"We have loved you for so many years. Even though our parents are gone, we are your brothers. You must respect us as your elders!"
Zhang Guoliang was able to remain calm and tried to use reason to subdue his brother.
After all, you can't beat them, so if you don't want to leave, you can only dress in formal attire.
"Are the things you do considered human? Since you don't even want to be human, why should I respect you beasts?"
Jiang Li found it funny to listen to his younger uncle yelling here and there, scolding his eldest and second uncles until their faces turned red and their necks became thick.
She had never known that her taciturn younger uncle was so eloquent and could actually deal with her eldest and second uncles so thoroughly.
Jiang Li originally wanted to do it himself, but now he wants to let his uncle do it freely.
"You've done so many things worse than animals, and now you just say you know you were wrong and you want to just write it off? How can such a good thing happen in this world?"
"You keep saying you're here to see my niece, but I don't see you bringing any gifts during Chinese New Year. Is this your sincerity? Is this your courtesy?"
"At my age, I can't even behave like a human being. I can't even do anything. What else can I do?"
"You're always doing nothing but eating the most, and yet you want to come to our house empty-handed and eat and drink for free? If I let you in, are you the stupid one or am I?"
Zhang Guocai cursed like a string of cannonballs, making his elder and second uncles speechless.
