Sheng Xiping never expected that his good intentions would be completely wasted.
Those two rascals never stay home to read books; they're always out playing and showing off.
What if we encounter some danger?
So Sheng Xiping made a tough decision: forget it, let them do the work.
Give them something to do, let them know that life isn't easy, so they won't be carefree and worry-free all the time.
Let's hope that his good intentions don't end up harming the two of them.
"Hmm, that works too. Let them know what it's like to do real work."
Sheng Liancheng nodded in agreement with his eldest son's suggestion.
"Ever since your eldest brother stopped going to school, he has taken on all the responsibilities at home. He doesn't let you do anything all day long, and all he thinks about is letting you study hard."
"You lot are really something, you don't even understand basic grammar, all you do is fool around."
The children are all grown up and need to get some experience; we can't let the eldest suffer all the burden.
"Fourth and Fifth Brother, you two don't need to go to the family team to work. Stay home and help Mom with laundry, cooking, and cleaning."
Sheng Liancheng glanced at the two girls standing at the door and decided to assign them work as well.
In fact, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei are both quite sensible girls, and they usually help their mother with housework.
This time, the two of them were simply implicated by their brother.
The two girls didn't dare to utter a sound after being scolded by their father, and just nodded obediently.
"The sixth brother is the same; he tries his best to help with any chores around the house."
Otherwise, next year we'll get a couple of pigs to raise. You can go and gather pig feed and vegetables, and we'll slaughter them in the winter when they're fully grown."
The last sentence was purely meant to scare Sheng Xitai.
What can a nine-year-old child do? He has five older brothers and sisters; there's really no need for him.
However, he needs to understand the principles he should know. Just because his parents and siblings spoil him doesn't mean he can do nothing.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xitai obediently nodded, deciding to do whatever was asked, as it was better than getting beaten up.
Sheng Liancheng glanced at the children, sighed, and waved his hand.
"Alright, your older brother is begging for mercy. He won't beat you up today, but you'll all have to get back to work tomorrow."
Anyone who doesn't work properly, just wait and see how I deal with them.
So the children obediently went to wash up and get ready, then crawled into bed to sleep.
Lying in bed, Sheng Xiping sighed.
"Second brother, third brother, don't blame me for getting angry today, I'm really worried about you."
When I came back in the evening, I heard from Aunt Li and Aunt Guo that there were black bears in the logging area on the second branch line.
The daughter-in-law of Aunt Li's house heard the noise and was terrified.
"You went all that way to get those trays, what if something really happened? What would our parents do?"
In Sheng Xiping's memory, it seemed that he had never heard of anyone encountering a black bear near the Second Branch Line in his previous life.
However, they dared not be careless, after all, Sheng Xiping had been reborn, and his fate was different, which would indirectly affect the people around him.
For example, Sun Yunpeng and Du Jiabin didn't handle any guns in their previous lives.
But because of Sheng Xiping's fight with Hei Xiazi, the two of them started playing with guns.
Therefore, we cannot simply rely on memories from the past life; we must view problems with a perspective of change.
The brothers had just lain down and none of them were asleep, but the second and third brothers didn't respond to Sheng Xiping's words.
Sheng Xiping found it strange and turned to look at his younger brother.
"What's wrong? Are you really angry and holding a grudge? You're not even going to talk to me?"
“Big brother, we don’t hold a grudge. Actually, we know you’re doing this for our own good.” Sheng Xikang said awkwardly from the other end.
July 20th in the Gregorian calendar coincides with the beginning of the sixth month in the lunar calendar.
There was no moonlight outside, and the house was pitch black; you couldn't see anything at all.
But Sheng Xiping could hear some hesitation and a bit of embarrassment in his younger brother's voice.
"What's wrong? Is there something you're embarrassed to say to your brother?" Sheng Xiping asked again, finding it strange.
"Ahem, bro, please don't scold me if I tell you."
Sheng Xikang coughed twice, and even gave his older brother a heads-up.
"Actually, there are no black bears in the logging area that goes towards the second branch line."
The noise that Sister-in-law Li heard was something we made to scare them.
"Huh?" This time, it was Sheng Xiping's turn to be stunned. "What happened? Tell me quickly."
Sheng Xiping knew that his third younger brother was quite mischievous and always getting into all sorts of trouble.
But why imitate the call of a bear to scare people?
"Brother, do you remember that rocky slope by the roadside on the way to that logging area?"
There weren't many trays there, but Fang'er and the others wanted to pick some to eat, so we went there.
We were up there, while the Li family's daughter-in-law and the others were down on the rocky slope, also picking trays.
Now that he had started, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, so Sheng Xikang continued.
“The place was quite big, so we didn’t need to compete with them for space. We could just pick whatever we wanted.”
But they were talking badly about my older brother and Sister Zhou behind my back.
We were annoyed by that, so we started yelling like a bear to scare them.
"They said that my older brother was like a toad trying to eat swan meat, someone from the same village who wanted to marry an educated youth from the city."
They say Zhou's parents are very capable, and they might get rid of Zhou at any time.
The older brother will definitely get dumped then, losing both his money and his reputation.
She even said her older brother had high standards and looked down on her younger sister, and that she would definitely come to laugh at him after he got dumped.
Sheng Xi'an, who hadn't said much until now, continued from where her brother left off.
"Sister Zhou is great, and my brother and she are a good match. We can't stand those people talking nonsense."
