Chapter 118 Breaking Free from Shackles



Niu Qian stuffed a large mouthful of cornbread into his mouth, and his stomach finally stopped growling because he had something to eat. He exaggeratedly stretched his mouth and said, "Thank you, my sister, for saving my life."

Fan Yunyan raised his head with a proud look: "My sister is naturally good."

Niu Qian curled his lip: "Your second sister is quite something. Your younger siblings are all cunning, more scheming than honeycomb briquettes. You'd better watch out..."

Although the eldest brother is like a father, no one is obligated to sacrifice themselves for others. If Fan Yunyan continues like this, and his younger siblings habitually demand things from him, how will he live in the future?

He's all alone now. If he gets married in the future, does that mean his wife and children will have to tolerate his younger brother and sister in everything?

People can be kind, but they must have their own bottom line.

Otherwise, it would be a case of gratitude for a small favor, but resentment for a large one.

Take this rural trip as an example. It's not that Fan Yunyan couldn't come; he could have gone voluntarily to realize his youthful ambitions, instead of being schemed against and then failing to fight for his own interests afterward, only compromising for the sake of so-called family peace.

If it were me, would I really want to cause such a huge uproar?

Niu Qian only gave a brief hint and said nothing more, then patted his belly contentedly: "Sigh, why don't I have such a good younger sister?"

Fan Yunyan chuckled softly: "You speak ill of my family in front of me, aren't you afraid I'll break off our friendship?"

Niu Qian scoffed and said, "Who said I only speak ill of others? I've also spoken well of others. I'm not afraid of anything, so I'm not afraid of offending anyone. However, in life, we are destined to make choices. No one can please everyone. Sometimes, your self-righteous attempts to please others can hurt the feelings of those who are truly good to you. Learn to make choices and cherish those who are good to you."

Fan Yunyan seemed to be deep in thought, and wanted to say something more to Niu Qian, but who knew that the man, having eaten and drunk his fill, was already lying on the bed snoring.

Despite the fatigue of his journey, he should have slept soundly the moment his head hit the bed, but instead, he lay there tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Various memories flashed through my mind. I gave a bitter laugh and had to admit that Niu Qian was right.

He wants to do everything perfectly, but perhaps the ending will leave no one satisfied.

but……

She sighed softly, "Second sister, everything has changed..."

In his memory, his second sister was frail and small, always reading a book in the same corner of the room, and a soft smile would appear on her face when she saw him.

Even the slightest noise in the house would make her cower in fear.

But the second sister I saw today had bright eyes, like a little sun...

It seems like they're fearless.

Is it because oranges grown south of the Huai River are sweet oranges, while those grown north of the Huai River are bitter oranges?

The younger sister, whose light was overshadowed at home, found herself here...

And what about him? As the older brother, will he still be bound by so-called shackles?

In a daze, I don't know when I closed my eyes, but in my dream, it seemed like a vicious dragon bound by iron chains broke free.

The letters of introduction for everyone listed the villages they were assigned to. Xiangyang Brigade only had Fanyunyan Village, while the others scattered and followed the oxcarts that came to pick them up from their respective villages.

Fan Xiaofan hummed a song as he rode his bicycle to pick someone up. When he saw Fan Yunyan waiting there, he waved his paw.

Fan Yunyan couldn't help but chuckle: "I'll give you a ride..."

Fan Xiaofan nodded, obediently sitting in the back holding her luggage, and pursed her lips. Her cheap older brother was quite easy to get along with.
