In the afternoon, the sky cleared from cloudy to sunny, and sunlight dappled the earth.
He Qunfang divided the meat that Liu Feng had just bought into two portions and asked him to deliver them to his eldest uncle and second uncle's homes respectively.
When Liu Feng arrived at his uncle's house.
Grandma Fang Shuxiang asked mysteriously, "Little Fourth, I heard from your second aunt that you brought a 'young wife' back? Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng's cheeks flushed red, and he quickly waved his hand to deny it: "Grandma, you've misunderstood. That's Sister Xiaoling's classmate. We're just friends. We're still young and in school."
"Hehe, Xiao Si is so sensible, unlike your second aunt, who speaks without thinking. She's so old and still can't control her mouth, talking nonsense everywhere!" Fang Shunu smiled and tried to smooth things over.
This conversation made Liu Xingyi, the second brother who was engrossed in studying, look up and feel a pang of anxiety.
The shadow of failing the college entrance exam still loomed over him, and now, hearing that this little brat Liu Feng had already brought his little wife home, a strange sense of urgency welled up in his heart.
Fortunately, Liu Feng denied it in time, otherwise his second brother Liu Xingyi's heart for studying would have been shattered!
He believed that he could accept failing the college entrance exam.
But if his fourth brother gets married before him, then Liu Xingyi will truly be the biggest joke in the village.
He can't afford to lose face.
After exchanging a few brief pleasantries with his second brother, Liu Xingyi, Liu Feng handed the meat in his hand to Fang Shuxiang: "Grandma, this is a little something from my mother, for you, Grandpa, and my second brother to nourish yourselves."
"Good child, how thoughtful." Fang Shuxiang smiled and accepted the gift, then handed over some cantaloupes she had picked from the field that morning. "Take these home and have a taste."
"Thank you, Grandma. Where's my older brother?" Liu Feng asked casually.
Upon hearing the mention of her elder brother, Fang Shuxiang said worriedly, "Your elder brother is repairing watches on the street. Why hasn't he come back yet at this hour?"
Of her five grandsons, the grandmother loved Liu Xingman the most.
Liu Xingman is not only the eldest grandson, but also has a face like Aaron Kwok, which makes his grandmother dote on him even more.
Unlike Liu Feng when he was a child, he wasn't liked by his grandparents.
If He Qunfang hadn't insisted on protecting Liu Feng, Liu Changqing might not have been able to resist his mother Fang Shuxiang's instigation, and Liu Feng would probably have been "sent away" by his grandmother long ago!
Having lived two lives, Liu Feng had long since come to terms with these things.
They were all doing it for survival, for a better life. They dedicated their entire lives to this family, giving everything they had.
No matter how unpleasant things were in the past, they had to consider their father, Liu Changqing, for the sake of the family.
A smile can erase all enmity.
When talking to her grandmother, Fang Shuxiang, about her eldest brother, her face was full of worry.
Liu Feng comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry. When my older brother comes back, I'll find him a job. I guarantee he can earn money even while lying down."
Fang Shuxiang laughed and shook her head: "Don't try to make Grandma happy. There's no such thing as a free lunch. If there were, everyone would be scrambling to do it, and it wouldn't be our turn!"
She didn't believe in such a good thing, thinking that anything that offered something for nothing was mostly a scam.
Liu Feng didn't explain, but simply took out a small bottle of medicinal wine and told his grandma and grandpa to drink a small cup every week, which would guarantee them good health and longevity.
This time, Fang Shuxiang didn't object and quickly held it in her arms like a treasure.
In their previous lives, both Fang Shuxiang and Old Man Liu passed away early, especially Grandma Fang Shuxiang, who took care of all the big and small things in the family, so she was the first to fall ill.
In this life, if it weren't for Liu Feng's secret intervention, their bodies would probably have collapsed long ago.
But ever since they drank the medicinal wine given to them by Liu Feng, Fang Shuxiang and Old Man Liu's health has improved significantly. Some minor ailments have been cured, and now their eyesight is clear and their backs don't hurt. It's amazing.
Fang Shuxiang's initial dislike for Liu Feng, her fourth grandson, gradually turned into guilt, and now she values him even more.
She no longer treated her daughter-in-law He Qunfang with the airs of a mother-in-law, and only then did she allow He Qunfang to send her things from time to time.
After staying at his grandmother's house for a while, Liu Feng was about to leave when his older brother, Liu Xingman, arrived at the door on his bicycle with Xia Guihua.
Liu Xingman is now successful in love, having married Xia Guihua, which is the envy of everyone in the village, but his career is not going well.
He lost money selling snacks on Wenshu Street.
Later, after hearing from a cousin that repairing watches was profitable, I started working in watch repair.
Unfortunately, there were already two watch repair shops on the street, so he had no work and business was slow.
Recently, he even got into an argument with someone on the street. If Xia Guihua hadn't stopped him, his older brother probably would have already started a fight.
Upon seeing Liu Feng present, Liu Xingman and Xia Guihua quickly greeted him warmly: "Fourth Brother, what are you doing here?"
"I'm bringing some things to Grandma. I heard you haven't been doing well repairing your watch lately. What happened?" Liu Feng asked.
In fact, Liu Feng already had a plan in mind to find things for his eldest and second eldest brothers to do.
But as the saying goes, "One cannot truly understand life without experiencing poverty, and one remains naive without facing setbacks."
It's good for them to experience more of life's trials and tribulations.
After listening to his elder brother Liu Xingman's story, Liu Feng said, "Brother, sister-in-law, watch repair doesn't make money, so don't do it anymore."
“Yes, you really can’t make much money repairing watches.” Xia Guihua nodded repeatedly.
"Fourth brother, do you have any good suggestions? What can we do?" Xia Guihua asked eagerly, disregarding Liu Xingman's feelings.
She had witnessed Liu Feng's "money power" and was unlike Liu Xingman, who was too proud to speak up.
Grandma Fang Shuxiang also looked at Liu Feng with a worried expression, her wrinkles appearing even deeper.
Liu Feng said, "I have a suggestion that will definitely help my brother make money."
