Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ve already said that you can do whatever you want.” No one had any objections at all, and they were all happy. “The two acres of land we bought from the village chief have been turned over. We’ll help you plant them in the afternoon.”
With the help of his family, many people, and everyone’s deft hands and feet, plus the fact that they didn’t have to plant so closely and had to plant a little more spa.r.s.ely, the three acres of land were planted in just one afternoon.
They even watered them.
Chunmei’s aunt was weeding in her house. When she saw this, she kept shaking her head. “You guys are really plating the things that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue dug up?”
Xue Dafu and the others only laughed.
Chunmei’s head shook even more.
Xue Dagui happened to be pa.s.sing by with a small load of firewood, and when he saw what these plants were, he immediately put down the firewood and walked over. Like an old man, he placed his hands behind his back and bent over, carefully examining several sprouts one by one. Only then did he smile cheekily at his third brother, Xue Dafu. “Hehe, Xue Dafu, canI be honest? I’ve never seen these wild things before. Maybe I didn’t notice them usually. Anyway, I think that even if these things grow. Even pigs might not eat them.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan was speechless.
“In any case, those raspberries might be able to sell for a bit of money in the end.” Xue Dagui continued to chuckle. “You might as well plant them all over these three acres of land instead.”
After so many days, Xue Dafu’s anger had mostly subsided. He said in his usual tone, “I originally bought it for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to play with. If the pigs don’t eat it, then so be it.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan was speechless yet again.
Seeing that Xue Dafu was talking to him as usual, Xue Dagui was so happy that he wanted to die. His old habit immediately flared up, and he subconsciously blurted out, “Since your family has spare money for Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to play with, why don’t you give it me, your younger brother?”
Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, Xue Dafu looked over with a warning in his eyes.
“Look at my mouth! Just look at my mouth!” Xue Dagui immediately slapped himself twice. Then, he laughed, “Hehe, don’t get mad. Sometimes, I just can’t control myself, but I will change. I will really change. I swear I will. When was the last time I annoyed you? I’m really determined to change, trust me. ”
“That’s enough,” Xue Dafu said. He wasn’t a stone-hearted person. Although he was quite disappointed in the past, he still had brotherly feelings for this younger brother of his. “If you can really change and not be like the past, I’ll acknowledge you as my younger brother.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Xue Dagui was overjoyed. He quickly picked up his small load of firewood. “I’ll go back and tell Father that you’re no longer angry and have reconciled with me. Father will definitely be very happy.”
It wasn’t until Xue Dagui was far away that Xue Wufu expressed his dissatisfaction. “Father!”
Xue Dafu said, “Alright, alright. I know what you want to say. But if he really changes, it’s a good thing. No matter what, he’s still your uncle.”
Xue Erfu teased, “Wufu, why are you still acting like a child? If Xue Dagui has changed for the better, we’ll give Grandpa some face and forgive him. You know how filial he is. Grandpa is stuck in the middle. Although he didn’t say anything, he must feel a little bad.”
“I’m not unforgiving Xue Dagui!” Xue Wufu was about to jump. “I just don’t want to talk to Xue Zhuzi and his mother! Those two really aren’t good people!”
