Chapter 72: Stunned Like Father

Ning Fengnian instinctively glanced at his family and did not agree immediately.

Second Uncle Ning was a little unhappy. “It’s just a word from Big Brother. Besides, I’m just worried that you guys won’t be able to handle it.” contemporary romance

He came with a purpose, so he squeezed out a smile and did not speak too harshly.

“Children are insensible and treat serious matters as fun. We can’t let it go. Leave this matter to me later. I guarantee that I’ll manage it for you. In the future, you just have to do bamboo shoots at home. Let me handle the delivery and accounts.”

Ning Fengnian didn’t like to hear this. “Second Brother, you’re wrong. Although this is just a small business and doesn’t earn much copper coins, the children are all diligent and serious. They never dare to treat business as child’s play.” “When I was sick, Dalang built a new house for our neighbor. He was always the hardest. He carried the heaviest wood and carried the heaviest bricks. He didn’t even make a sound when his shoulder was bleeding.”

“Erlang goes up the mountain to cut firewood every day. He also has to dig bamboo shoots and peel them with Dalang. There are blisters on his hands. He pricks them with a needle and they come back the next day.”

“It’s Xiaoxiao. She’s young, but she has many ideas.” Speaking of his daughter, Ning Fengnian smiled more. “She was the one who thought of the method to make sour bamboo shoots. She was also the one who woke up early and made sour bamboo shoots in the dark. She also sold the bamboo shoots to the restaurant. What she did for the family is far inferior to what I, her father, did.” Hence, even if his second brother asked, he could not give up all the things that his children had worked so hard to develop. He did not expose him directly or reject him outright. As the elder brother, he was already giving his younger brother face and did not want to hurt the relationship between brothers.

He was honest, but he was not stupid. It was just an excuse that they would be too busy and his second brother wanted to help.

Second Uncle Ning didn’t want to listen to this at all. Whether the children of the first branch could do it or not had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to take over this profit-making business.

Seeing that Ning Fengnian deliberately did not continue the conversation, it was obvious that this matter would not be so easy to settle. He had a set of thoughts in his heart. He looked around with his sneaky eyes and pretended not to care. “Look at what Big Brother is saying. I simply mentioned it. Since you guys can handle it, I naturally won’t join in the fun. However, Big Brother will welcome us for a meal today, right?”

It was best if his second brother was willing to give up. Ning Fengnian heaved a sigh of relief and asked Erlang to send a message to the old residence, before asking his second brother to eat together.

Second Uncle Ning had long known that the eldest branch’s food had been good recently. In addition, in order to agitate him, Xiaoxiao had specially prepared a sumptuous meal. At first, he wanted to put on some airs, but later on, he ate so much that he wished he could eat directly from the common plates. Dalang and Erlang did not even look at him.

When they were almost done eating, Second Uncle Ning seemed to have just remembered and said, “Oh right, I haven’t tried the sour bamboo shoots made by the children.”

Xiaoxiao understood and cut a plate for him. Seeing that he was clearly so full that he wanted to vomit, but he still pretended to enjoy it and ate it all, Xiaoxiao naughtily wanted to give him more. Second Uncle Ning quickly stopped her. He burped and said, “The taste is indeed good. I wonder if you can let me bring a jar back for Father and Mother to try?”

Ning Fengnian could not reject this request at all. Xiaoxiao also pretended not to see the scheme in Second Uncle’s eyes and very generously chose the largest jar for him to take away.

Ning Fengnian looked at his daughter’s kind and enthusiastic appearance and was even more dissatisfied with his second sister-in-law’s previous actions.

He had such a good daughter. Second Sister-in-law actually wanted to bully her and even falsely accused Xiaoxiao of being disrespectful to her elders. If she had not gone overboard, he might have really agreed to let Second Brother take a share today.

Xiaoxiao was obedient in front of her honest father. The moment she entered the kitchen, she was pulled to the side by her second brother, who was unhappy. “Silly sister, why are you as silly as Dad? You could have just given him a spoonful of leaves.. Why did you give him such a big jar?”
