No one knows how flustered Jiang Nuan felt when she heard Boss Huang rambling on and on.
She harbored too many secrets. She had thought that the remote mountain village would go unnoticed, but now she was just glad that time was too short and she hadn't had a chance to do anything yet.
"Mother," Huang Laoda looked at Jiang Nuan with a confused expression, "What did your son do wrong?"
“It’s not that you’re wrong,” Jiang Nuan took a deep breath, “it’s that I’m wrong. I shouldn’t have had any hope for you.”
Indeed, the most important secret can only be known by oneself; no one else can be as reliable as oneself.
"Mother," Old Huang panicked, "don't you want your son anymore?"
Suddenly, a sense of abandonment washed over him, and Boss Huang became nervous.
“Eldest brother, you are the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is like a father,” Jiang Nuan sighed. “It’s about time you grew up. Don’t assume everything and believe everything people say. You can’t be malicious, but you can’t be without a sense of self-preservation.”
"Mother, Brother Han wouldn't lie to me," Huang Laoda said stubbornly, looking at Jiang Nuan intently.
This kid is hopeless!
Jiang Nuan was speechless.
"Whatever you want," Jiang Nuan said, spreading her hands. "If you want to believe him, then believe him. Don't blame me for not reminding you, we can't tolerate traitors in our family."
Han Yi is a deep and unsettling person. Whether he is good or bad, she will not allow her family to have too much contact with him.
If Huang Laoda had ignored the advice and insisted on his own way, she wouldn't have left such a disaster for the family.
Jiang Nuan's words left Boss Huang stunned for a long time before he finally left dejectedly.
Upon seeing Boss Huang emerge from the hall, the crowd that had been waiting in the courtyard surged into the hall.
“Mom, you’re finally back!” Huang Xiaosi complained anxiously. “If you hadn’t come back, my brother would have sold the whole family.”
"Little Four," Huang Xiaosan scolded, "Big Brother is the elder brother. Even if he is wrong, it is Mother who should discipline him. Don't talk nonsense."
“What exactly happened with Han Yi, mistress? You tell me.”
“Mother, it’s like this,” Huang Xiaosan began slowly, “This morning we went to collect cabbages, and everything went smoothly, the villagers…”
After a pause, Huang Xiaosan used the phrase "exceptionally enthusiastic".
“My second brother and I were in charge of collecting, and my eldest brother was in charge of transporting. When we came back, we saw him chatting happily with the owner of Juquanlou.”
"As they were talking, they started talking about becoming sworn brothers," Huang Xiaosan took a breath and continued, "My second brother and I kept exchanging glances, our eyes were practically twitching, but he still went ahead and made the decision on his own."
He was so angry he wanted to punch someone, but he refrained because there were guests present.
"When did Han Yi arrive? Just for this kimchi?" Jiang Nuan asked, puzzled. "Is there anything else?"
“I know,” Huang Xiaosi said eagerly, “He also wants recipes. My elder brother promised ten recipes for a thousand taels of silver.”
"So that's how it is," Jiang Nuan asked through gritted teeth, "Who gave him the guts?"
“Mother,” Huang Xiaosan said softly, “Big brother, it seems, also signed a contract.”
"You bastard!" Jiang Nuan couldn't sit still any longer. "Second brother, bring me a rattan cane. Third brother, bring your eldest brother over. I'm going to enforce family discipline today."
She thought that Boss Huang was just a loose tongue, but she didn't expect that he had already started selling his business.
"Mother, here you go," Huang Lao Er said with a smile, handing over the rattan cane he had prepared beforehand. "Hit him hard, or you won't wake him up."
With more money and a better life at home, the eldest brother started to get arrogant.
Why do you have to make things so complicated when you can have a good life? If you don't learn your lesson this time, who knows what kind of disaster you'll cause next time.
