Ruan Meng then realized that Song Shiwen's words were not only an expression of his feelings...
In fact, it was also a subtle way of advising for reconciliation, explaining the possible motives of the Duan family.
Through this conversation, Ruan Meng sensed...
The minds of scholars are full of twists and turns!
Although their arrival was unexpected, Ruan Meng originally thought they came to express their "loyalty." However, she did not expect that they would also try to reconcile the situation in a tactful way in order to maintain unity.
This self-deprecating approach, without any preaching, was not so repulsive to Ruan Meng.
Ruan Qian naturally understood and nodded, saying, "Brother Shiwen, if you can say that, does it mean you've let go?"
Song Shiwen laughed heartily, "Being too proud is a recipe for suffering! Since someone is helping you out, why bother with being high-minded?"
"If it weren't for you, who would care whether we lived or died? I'm also wondering if I've gone stupid from studying all that!"
The Ruan family smiled calmly, and Ruan Qian frankly told them:
"My younger sister talked to me about you before..."
The Song brothers looked up at Ruan Meng.
Ruan Qian said, "My sister said there are many ways to improve your lives. But if you only sell your physical labor, it's a waste of your talents."
"My younger sister suggested that Zizhong plant wild millet peppers and other things before, which was indeed because the mountains are dangerous and they are skilled enough to protect themselves."
"Furthermore, I asked you before, and they have farming experience, so it will be easier for them to get started."
"I might as well be frank, we'll have a huge demand for these seasonings in the future. My sister has other plans as well."
“Our family can also grow it, but only my younger sister and third brother are skilled enough to go up the mountain.”
"My younger sister needs to make the dipping sauce and research other ways to cook seafood, so she really doesn't have the energy."
"Perhaps in the future, the Duan family will realize how much benefit her younger sister has given up, but she doesn't realize it yet."
"We siblings will always remember the care you two families took for us on the road."
"That's why we all agree that it's better for the three families to prosper than for us to enjoy happiness alone."
"I've also thought about Brother Shiwen and his family, and they've told me about some plans."
"But one must eat one bite at a time and wait for the right opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Song Shiwen exchanged a glance with his younger brother, immediately stood up, and bowed to Ruan Qian and Ruan Meng.
His joking expression vanished, replaced by a serious one.
"Thank you for informing me, Brother Ruan. Thank you for considering it, Sister!"
Song Shiwen wanted to say more, but he was usually eloquent and found himself at a loss for words.
Saying too much will only make you seem opportunistic.
It seemed that the gratitude at this moment stemmed from Ruan Qian revealing that Ruan Meng had made arrangements for them.
But that's not the case. After figuring things out and letting go of his so-called pride, Song Shiwen felt that as long as the Ruan and Fan families were doing well, he didn't care about anything else.
Of course, deep down he also believed that the Ruan family couldn't possibly abandon them.
When Song Shiwen was speechless, Ruan Qian raised his hand to stop them, indicating that they did not need to say anything more.
The Song brothers walked in with their heads held high, but when they left, they were preoccupied and felt somewhat guilty.
"Big brother is awesome!"
The third brother gave his eldest brother a thumbs up.
The second child didn't quite understand, so the third child explained:
"My elder brother saw the Duan family's attitude today and, as a precaution, deliberately gave Brother Song and Brother Song a warning!"
"To prevent his family from going astray and becoming like the Duan family, blinded by greed!"
The eldest sister-in-law chuckled, and the second son suddenly realized, "So that's how it is..."
Ruan Meng's initial frustration had long since vanished.
The lively sounds outside gradually faded away. The two sisters-in-law from the Feng family came to hand over the responsibilities to their eldest sister-in-law. They looked delighted and comforted Ruan Meng:
"Little sister, this kind of thing shouldn't happen again!"
"After the beachcombing was over, my father-in-law told each household about the deal you made with the He Family Restaurant to buy other seafood."
“My father-in-law made it clear that they need help from relatives, and as long as the quality is guaranteed, the village will not stop them.”
"But if they cause trouble, this family in the village will also be excluded from our seafood business!"
Sister-in-law Feng said confidently, "Given such an opportunity, they probably wouldn't dare!"
"No matter what happens in the future, if you hear anyone say anything, just tell me or your father-in-law, and I'll teach them a lesson for you!"
Sister-in-law Feng probably never expected that someone would "defy the rules and commit crimes".
