Upon hearing such a promise, the five Yu brothers were extremely happy.

If they could learn a craft from their cousin, their children would not starve to death in the future.

Thinking of this, Yu Ping'an, Yu Fugui and others blushed and were extremely excited.

"Brother, you are really my brother!"

"Brother, no matter what happens in the future, just call us and we will never talk too much to you and will definitely help you!"

Seeing that the brothers were sincere in what they said, Gu Yanzhang nodded.

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you in the future!"

While they were talking heatedly, time passed unknowingly.

Yujiashan is located deep in the mountains, remote and desolate. Therefore, some farmers here secretly brewed wine with grain.

Brewing wine is a craft. But if this craft is known by others, especially by the people in the government, they will be drunk.

Although the wine in Yujiashan is all sorghum wine with bad taste and muddy color, everyone here knows that when guests come, they treat them with chickens, ducks and sorghum wine, which means that the guests are their own people who are worthy of their trust. After

the table was filled with eight large bowls of dishes and a large bowl of sorghum wine, the five Yu brothers invited Gu Yanzhang and his two sons to eat.

"Brother, our family is not well-off and we are not good enough to entertain you. You must be more considerate."

Hearing this, Gu Yanzhang smiled and shook his head, "There are chickens, bacon, and wine, etc. How can it be simple?"

After saying this, he sighed softly, "Hey, how can you be so honest! You have already made all the things I brought here, so what are you going to eat after I go back?"

"Take this bowl of bacon back to the room and let all of you kids have a taste. God has pity on them. I don't know how long they haven't had meat."

Hearing this, the five Yu brothers rushed to say, "Brother, they all have something to eat, so don't worry about the little ones. Eat an egg first. See if the food my mother cooks suits your taste."

Gu Yanzhang nodded before he ate, "It suits your taste. I know your mother's cooking skills. In the past, your father always brought me here to play. I don't know if you still remember that more than ten years ago, we climbed mountains and went swimming together, and even hunted voles together."

Talking about the past, everyone became more talkative.

More than ten years ago, they were still a group of teenagers. Time flies so fast, and those things in the past seem to have happened yesterday.

At this time, Gu Yanzhang and the five brothers of the Yu family were filled with emotion. Yu Ping'an and

Yu Fugui couldn't help but think of their brothers who had died more than ten years ago.

Back then, the Yu family was very prosperous.

Yu Dahu alone had eight sons. Yu Erhu had as many sons as well. There were a total of ten.

When the eighteen boys walked out, people were in awe.

However, more than ten years later, those brothers died one after another. Some had accidents while doing corvée with their father. Some ate too poorly and then caught a cold, which cost them their lives.

One of them went hunting in the mountains and encountered a tiger in the mountains. He was taken away by the tiger and his body was not left behind.

Some brothers died in unclear circumstances.

Of the 18 boys in the Yu family, only five are left now. When the night was quiet, how could they not feel a little sad and unfair? It

was already very difficult to maintain adequate food in this mountain. When they went to the county town or to work at the dock in the town, they had to be on guard all the time. The local tyrants there and the workers who were also carrying bags there would make trouble for them.

Thinking of how they had been running around for a living and trying to please everyone, how many grievances they had suffered and how many times they had been angry, the five Yu brothers couldn't help but talk to Gu Yanzhang after a few sips of wine.

"Brother, when it comes to life, life is better in your place. In our place, it's hard to get a meal!"

"There are more than 40 people in our family now. My mother is old, 60 years old, and all her teeth have fallen out. As her son, I have to get up before dawn every morning to make her a bowl of fine sorghum flour."

Speaking of this, Yu Ping'an's eyes turned red and he almost cried.

"Brother, to tell you the truth, I don't think my mother is troublesome, but I think I am too incompetent. I can't do big things, I can't make a little money, and I can't support my family."

Seeing that the five Yu brothers were only 30 years old, they all looked sad. The fine lines at the corners of his eyes were almost the same as the wrinkles on the buns made by his wife. He sighed with a look of discomfort, "It's not easy, it's not easy!"

"Don't worry. You are helping our family to open up wasteland. My wife, her family and I will never treat you unfairly."

"Let me tell you the truth now and tell you how we will pay you."

When the wages were mentioned, Yu Pingan and Yu Fugui were surprised and happy.

Not only are they provided with food and accommodation, but they can also be paid. This... is too good!

However, when I think about my cousin's family, they were not a wealthy family before. Their financial resources were the same as theirs, very thin. They couldn't stand the hardship.

Yu Ping'an stepped hard on the foot of his younger brother, Yu Fugui, under the table. Yu

Fugui suddenly came to his senses after being stepped on. So, he said excitedly, "Brother, why should we pay each other wages?!"

"As your brother, I appreciate your kindness for thinking of coming to see us today. Land reclamation is just a matter of putting in a little more effort, it's really not worth it. Don't be so distant with us."

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said, "Sometimes, brothers have to settle accounts! You help me reclaim wasteland, but I don't pay you wages, then am I still a human being?"

"Besides, life is not easy for everyone. You still have to support your family. I provide you with food and shelter, but you don't have your mother and wife, and you still have to feed your children. If you don't want wages, then everyone in your family will starve to death?"

After hearing what he said, the five Yu brothers stopped talking.

After all, what Gu Yanzhang said was quite right.
