Fan Erzhu glanced at the expressions of Sizhu and Sanzhu. One was clear-headed and foolish, while the other was disdainful. He scoffed and coldly analyzed, "Didn't you two notice the difference?"
Besides Zhang the Bald's family, even our family has come to build a medicinal herb shop. The women who didn't come are idle all day, just cooking at home. But look at the women in the village, they're all busy in the fields!
The key is that at most three or four acres of land need to be dug and filled in. The soil is loose and doesn't need tilling; just sow the wheat seeds and it's done. There's still plenty of time, so why are they in such a hurry?
Fan Sizhu still stared blankly into his eyes, not understanding what his second brother was trying to say.
Saying that Mother and Grandma aren't hardworking? They weren't hardworking to begin with. Before the family divided, Second Aunt did the cooking, and after the division, Zhao Di did most of it. After Zhao Di left, Mother and Grandma argued countless times about cooking and washing clothes. They couldn't possibly compare to the women in the village.
Besides, which of the women in the village doesn't get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs? They're used to being hardworking, so there's nothing special about them working in the fields.
Fan Sanzhu's expression became even more disdainful. "Second brother, just ignore the people in the village. Let them be diligent, we're not going to learn from them. Or do you want us to be diligent too?"
Let me make this clear first: if we're going to be diligent, we all need to be diligent. We can't expect me to be the only one working hard!
Fan Erzhu looked resentful. How could his two younger brothers be so stupid, so impervious to reason?
They are completely oblivious to what's happening in the village.
He turned to his elder brother and father and said, "Father, elder brother, I think the people in the village are definitely hiding something from us. Should we go and find out?"
He could sense that the villagers were gradually distancing themselves from his family. They would distance themselves when nothing was wrong, but if something happened, they would still need to let him know or lend a hand.
Fan Qian didn't want to bother with these things and simply waved his hand, saying, "Go and find out."
Fan Dazhu, however, felt that the villagers couldn't keep secrets. If something really happened, how could they possibly hide it? They would find out sooner or later.
My second brother is just worrying unnecessarily; he spends all his energy on useless things.
"If you ask me, you should really consider Ding Jiajia's matter more. Didn't Grandma say that with her, the herbal medicine shop is ours? Why bother asking Second Uncle to agree?"
Fan Erzhu kept his head down and didn't say anything.
If he marries Ding Jiajia, the herbal medicine shop will belong to him alone, and will have nothing to do with his elder brother and two younger brothers.
Fan Sanzhu remained silent.
If the family property doesn't belong to him, why should the herbal medicine shop belong to everyone? That's impossible.
He planned to do it secretly, and then catch them off guard once he succeeded.
The five people had different thoughts, and their eyes were full of envy as they looked towards the herbal medicine shop.
If only this were his...
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong! There's a problem with the water source!" Li Wu shouted as soon as he saw the crowd.
Behind him followed Feng Da, Feng Er, Hong Daniu, and others, all looking dejected, their shoulders slumped, and they looked like they were about to cry.
Fan Xiaoliu panicked and asked first, "What happened? What went wrong?"
