Three votes against one vote, Chu Xiao was forced to take office. Zhao Guizhi even teased her on purpose, taking out the pork and pork bones from the backpack and asked Chu Xiao: "Xiao brother, what are we going to eat tonight?"

"I'll eat whatever mom cooks." Chu Xiao didn't realize that Zhao Guizhi was teasing him, and said coquettishly, "Everything mom cooks tastes good."

Zhao Guizhi shook her head: "You are the head of the family. You are the one who decides how to cook the meal and how much to make."

Chu Xiao finally reacted and rubbed his head against Zhao Guizhi in embarrassment: "Mom."

Zhao Guizhi laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'll make some bone soup tonight and we'll have some nourishment. Who knows when you might get pregnant."

Speaking of children, Chu Xiao subconsciously glanced at his belly, and then he realized what he was doing. Could it be that as a grown man, he really wanted to have a child? It must be because Luo Ge'er's pregnancy gave him an inappropriate psychological hint.

Yes, that's right. How can a grown man like him have a child?

Chu Xiao shook his head and threw away those messy thoughts. Then he realized that he hadn't seen Third Sister and Xiao Bei until now. He even asked Brother Shen to buy some pastries for the two kids.

He came out of the kitchen and sat next to Yan Zhengdao and asked, "Dad, where are Third Sister and Xiaobei?"

"He went to wash clothes." Yan Zhengdao said, "His fifth uncle came over this afternoon. I was afraid that my third sister would get into a conflict with him and suffer, so I sent him and Xiaobei to the river."

Chu Xiao was unhappy when he heard Yan Zhengdao still say that Yan Zhengxing was his fifth uncle: "Dad, there is no such thing as a fifth uncle. There will be no fifth uncle in the future. There will only be the annoying Yan Zhengxing."

Yan Zhengdao was stunned at first, then he laughed and said, "Xiao Ge'er is right. It was Dad who didn't react at the moment. It's Dad's fault."

After he admitted his mistake, Chu Xiao felt embarrassed and found that his attitude just now seemed not so good. He could not understand the brotherhood, but he thought it should be similar to teammates who had fought side by side. No one would become a stranger like a comrade who had been through life and death together.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiao quickly grabbed Yan Zhengdao's arm and said, "Dad, it's my fault. I didn't consider your feelings today. Although I really don't like that man, if you still want to ease the relationship with him, then I can sell the land to him."

Chu Xiao couldn't call him Fifth Uncle, but he was afraid that Yan Zhengdao would be embarrassed. After all, he didn't really understand his father. He didn't talk much, but he was tolerant of everyone. What's more, Yan Zhengdao was disabled now, and he was always afraid that he would become a burden. If he didn't want to give up their brotherhood, he was willing to compromise a little to make him happy.

Yan Zhengdao patted his hands and said, "Xiao Ge'er, Dad knows you are a good person, and you did nothing wrong. I have always been trapped by blood ties and unable to distinguish right from wrong. I even hurt the eldest and second sons many times because of the guilt in my heart. Today you have finally woken me up. No matter what others do, the most important thing is to live a good life."

Chu Xiao nodded, then retorted with wide eyes: "Dad, I didn't scold you."

Yan Zhengdao laughed: "Yes, you are scolding Yan Zhengxing. It makes sense to me and I have come to my senses."

After washing the clothes, Yan Sanmei watched Yan Zhenbei playing by the river for a while, catching snails and small crabs, and then came back when he saw that it was almost time.

Yan Zhenbei quickly followed Yan Sanmei and stuck his head out to look into the yard. When he saw that it was Chu Xiao sitting with Yan Zhengdao, he felt a lot more relieved.

Chu Xiao also saw him, so he stood up and called out to him with a smile, "Yan Zhenbei, what are you doing sneaking around like that?"

At this time, Yan Sanmei also arrived at the gate of the courtyard. She kicked Yan Zhenbei on the butt without mercy and said with some regret: "What can he do? He is afraid that his fifth uncle is still alive. He is young and timid, and he will definitely not be able to get married in the future."

Chu Xiao: “…”

When he first came to the Yan family, he thought the third sister was very opinionated and fierce. Later, he was almost forgotten that this girl had a bad temper because of the little girl calling her Brother Xiao over and over again. Only now did he see her again and found that she was indeed the same third sister Yan.

The third sister rolled her eyes at the silent Yan Zhenbei, and immediately changed her expression when she entered the yard. She called out sweetly, "Brother Xiao, how long have you been back? Have you seen Uncle Wu? Did he bully you?"

When Chu Xiao heard the fifth uncle, he snorted arrogantly: "There is no fifth uncle anymore. Yan Zhengxing has been driven away by me. If he dares to cause trouble again in the future, I will not forgive him."

When Yan Sanmei heard that her fifth uncle had been driven away, she was very happy: "I knew that Brother Xiao was the most powerful."

Yan Zhenbei, who had been kicked in the butt, also came over quietly and said, "Brother, you are awesome."

Then Yan Sanmei glared at him.

Chu Xiao felt that the relationship between the siblings had always been good, so how come they became like this after not seeing each other for such a long time? Did they have a fight?

You don’t know until you ask. Chu Xiao feels helpless when he asks.

The reason was simple. Yan Zhengdao asked Yan Sanmei to take Xiaobei to the river to wash clothes, but Yan Sanmei was unwilling to go. There was no one else at home and her father had poor legs and feet. If Yan Zhengxing had a dispute with her father, how could her father deal with it? Even if she couldn't beat him at home, she could go to the backyard and let the dog go.

But Yan Zhenbei was afraid when he saw Yan Zhengxing, and he pulled Yan Sanmei to leave. When Yan Sanmei refused to leave, he started sobbing. Finally, Yan Zhengdao said to her with a stern face, "Go quickly."

Yan Sanmei then left angrily. After washing the clothes, she wanted to go back, but Yan Zhenbei refused, saying that his fifth uncle might not have left yet and he didn't want to go back. Yan Sanmei couldn't just leave him alone in the river. What if he accidentally drowned? So they just stayed like this until now.

She used to think Yan Zhenbei was timid and she thought that she could protect her brother if she was stronger. But this guy was actually afraid to leave his disabled father at home alone to face the bad guys. He is not a coward but a wimp.

Chu Xiao's idea was similar to Yan Sanmei's. Yan Zhenbei was a man after all. How could he be so cowardly? If he was like this, he might not even be able to protect his family, let alone himself.

Chu Xiao felt that he couldn't let Yan Zhenbei continue to grow up in a lazy manner at home. He used to think of sending him to school, hoping that he could get a government position in the future. But now it seems that if he really becomes an official, he might do a lot of stupid things when threatened.

He thought it would be better to learn martial arts, at least he could protect himself, but he still wanted to ask Yan Zhenbei's opinion.

"Yan Zhenbei, do you want to go to school or learn martial arts?"

Without waiting for Yan Zhenbei to answer, Yan Sanmei snorted coldly, "What can he learn? What a coward."

After all, Yan Zhenbei was nine years old and he understood everything he should understand. He naturally knew why his sister was angry with him. He also knew in his heart that it was wrong, but he was just afraid and he couldn't control it.

Yan Zhenbei looked at Chu Xiao aggrievedly: "Brother, Xiaobei doesn't want to be a coward. I want to learn martial arts first, and then study."

Chu Xiao: "..."

What you said is quite ambitious, but could you please not sound so aggrieved? It feels so awkward.

"Okay." Chu Xiao held his forehead: "I understand."
