The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 669 Wang Wulang's Entrustment
Qin Huai did not take the box, but asked him, "Fifth Brother, please speak freely."

“These aren’t for you, they’re for Ayu.” Wang Wulang knew that Qin Huai must have misunderstood him, so he explained, “These are the best things I can think of for Ayu.”

Qin Huai then took the box, opened it, and saw that inside was nothing but a stack of silver notes and a contract.

Among them were the earthenwares that Old Mrs. Wang casually gave to her grandsons, which he hadn't yet transferred to the county government; the escort agency that Ayu bought for him; and a shop contract that Xiao Zhang gave to Wang Wulang.

"To be honest, I'm not a very good older brother. I haven't helped Ayu much over the years; she's the one who's helped me the most," Wang Wulang said, feeling even more ashamed.

Especially in their family, the daughters are all pampered, unlike other families where older sisters and younger sisters are often treated as tools to be exploited.

Ayu is truly wonderful in every way; she is the best younger sister in the world. Wang Wulang still remembers how thin and bony Ayu was when she first came to his home, a sight that still pains him to this day.

Several years have passed, and somehow, they have ended up receiving more care from Ayu.

Perhaps to others, this is the happiest thing ever: having family to help you, not having to do anything yourself, and being able to reach the pinnacle of life while lying down—how wonderful!

But Wang Wulang didn't think that way. When he was a child, he thought that having a smart little sister named Ayu was enough. He believed that by following Ayu, he could make a living and live a fulfilling life.

Now that I'm older, I realize that some of my previous thoughts were awful.

“Don’t laugh at me, but now all I think about is that my little sister should be cherished and pampered as she grows up, and my Ayu is no exception.” Wang Wulang said, his tone becoming much lower. “But among my brothers, I’m really in the middle, neither good enough nor bad enough.”

The eldest brother farms in the village and seems to be the one with the least future.

But now, under the leadership of the eldest brother, the territory of Hujia Village seems to have expanded outwards quite a bit.

The silk, silk quilts, and various sugar products from Hujia Village have been sold to all parts of Dachang and even to neighboring countries. The eldest brother is not the kind of person who is good at flattery, but he knows how to exchange sincerity for sincerity. He has made some sincere friends in various places, which has greatly benefited the Wang family and even the entire Hujia Village.

As for my second brother, I won't say anything more. My second uncle has already passed the imperial examination and become a prefect. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be promoted in the future.

My second brother, who inherited his uncle's talent for studying, is now among the leading group. He may have an even brighter future than his uncle, with studying, taking the imperial examinations, and pursuing an official career as his future path.

As for the third brother, he is a decisive and efficient person who learns everything quickly. What others take three to five years to learn, he can master in just one or two months. Given time, his achievements will be limitless.

Fourth Brother is calm and composed, and has a great talent for studying. However, he has set his sights on becoming a teacher and will not pursue an official career. He is currently just accumulating knowledge.

The sixth brother is heartless, spending his days joking and fooling around, only thinking about how to pass the time quickly. Even so, his mother is always there to urge him to study hard, so at least he doesn't fall behind in his studies. The seventh brother, on the other hand, truly knows how to help others. Even if he doesn't pursue an official career in the future, many people will be willing to support him, and he certainly won't be a weakling.

He alone is neither the best nor the worst, and is truly ashamed.

"Why did you suddenly have such an idea?" Qin Huai pushed the box in front of Wang Wulang. "Take this back. Ayu won't accept it, and it's impossible for her to accept it."

Wang Wulang shook his head: "I don't mean to return it, it's just that I can't think of anything else for the time being. Besides, I won't be going back to Wanning City this time, I'm going to Jiangsai."

Jiangsai is a frigid place, often plagued by unrest. It is also a crossroads of many small states, a melting pot of all sorts of people. Those people not only have no respect for Dachang, but even harbor hatred towards it.

There was once a saying in many places: "I'd rather be a lonely old ghost than marry a soldier from the riverbank."

Many people sold their possessions to avoid military service, unwilling to become soldiers there.

Because nine out of ten soldiers who went there never returned, all dying in various ways.

"What happened?" Qin Huai asked. "Why would you suddenly want to go to such a remote place, and in such a hurry?"

Not only that, Qin Huai even wondered if Fifth Brother had heard or seen something that made him want to leave.

Could it be that all his brothers in the family have gotten married or engaged, leaving him all alone, and he's simply decided to end his life?
Wang Wulang said, "This matter cannot be explained in a few words, so don't ask. Just give this box to Ayu. I have already marked the contents and their uses, and I have also left a letter for Grandma and my parents. Ayu can take the money whenever she needs it. In addition, you can tell Ayu that I, Wu Ge, will not always be so behind, and I will be able to be her support in the future."

Wang Wulang was just speaking casually at first, but the more he talked, the more emotional and touched he became. In the end, he wiped away his tears and said to Qin Huai, "Qin Huai, Qin Huai, I didn't keep a close eye on A Yu when she was little, and she got engaged to you as a child. But that doesn't mean things are settled. If you bully her, I'll crawl back and beat you up, no, I'll beat you up several times!"

Qin Huai: “…”

"Fifth Brother, what exactly are you...?"

Before Qin Huai could finish asking, Wang Silang, who had been silent in the corner, said, "Don't ask anymore. He wants to secretly join the army. Grandma isn't here this time, and Third Aunt is still working in town. Isn't this the perfect opportunity?"

"Who are you going with?"

"The Carefree King".
