"Dahai, you have to see a doctor if you are sick. What will you do if your body is damaged?" Lin Dajiang pulled Lin Dahai to squat in the corner outside the backyard.

"Dongzhi is still young. If you become ill, what will happen to them, an orphan and a widow?"

"Brother..."

Lin Dahai didn't know what to say.

He was not good at talking and didn't know what to say to his elder brother.

His mouth opened and closed, but no word came out for a long time.

"Your wife is coaxed into spending money every day by your mother-in-law. It's fine if your adults get sick from eating a little, but what about your family's winter solstice? And today I saw Lichun boy chopping bamboo and weaving bamboo baskets. He's already fourteen years old, don't you think about him?"

Jingzhe is two years younger than Lichun, but he has already started to worry.

The reason they wanted to split up the family was because there was no way out if they all ate from the same big pot.

Now my third brother's family is living better and better in the town, but my second brother, an honest man, is living worse off than when they first separated.

"You have to hide the money the family earns in the future. Don't give it to your brother and sister-in-law. You have to stand up on your own feet." Lin Dajiang advised earnestly, but he didn't know if his dull brother listened to him.

If he had been half as smooth as his third brother, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

"Brother, I, I'll listen to you."

Lin Dajiang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's useless to just listen, let's see what you do."

"Brother, I'll take the money and buy some herbs later."

"That's right, get well soon. Ruyi Tower in town sells grass carp weighing two to three kilograms. When you get better, you and Lichun can go to the river to catch a few, and your family will have some income."

"Really?" Lin Dahai was overjoyed and was about to stand up.

Halfway through, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground, breaking his butt.

"Look at you, why are you so excited?" Lin Dajiang said unhappily, "If you had spent money to see a doctor earlier, you would be full of energy to go fishing in the river now."

Lin Dahai felt regretful.

I think I have to listen to my elder brother in the future.

I remember when I was a child, when my third brother was just born, my eldest brother took him to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and take bird eggs.

Now only his eldest brother will confide in him.

It’s absolutely right to listen to your elder brother from now on.

"Brother, I'll go get the medicine now."

Lin Dahai stood up slowly with the help of the wall. Lin Dajiang walked a few steps with him. Seeing that he was indeed not seriously injured, he said goodbye and went home.

In the evening, the village head called his eldest son Lin Da and told him the news that Lin Dajiang had received.

"Dad, this is good news. We originally thought that after the fall of landlord Liu, the imperial court would give priority to selling his land to us at a low price. But who knew that there has been no movement for so long." Lin Da used to follow his brother-in-law to carry goods from street to street.

The cold noodles launched by Ruyilou last time were once very popular. If the pickled fish this time also sells well, selling fish can also be a livelihood.

"Dajiang said that Ruyilou only accepts grass carps weighing two to three kilograms. They won't accept any smaller ones."

Linda thought it was no big deal and said with a smile, "No big deal, just release the small fish and catch them again when they grow bigger."

"You are right. Let's gather all the men in the village tomorrow to discuss this matter."

Linda thought for a moment and said, "Dad, Dajiang told you about this. You have to accept his favor."

"You little brat are plotting against me, how could I not know?"

Linda smiled and said, "Although Ruyilou said that they would accept scattered fish, we still have to have a rule. We can't let them really accept scattered fish."

"I'm old, you take care of this matter." The village head was overwhelmed, having been a farmer his entire life.

Just because he knew a few words, he was elected as the village head. In the past few years, he has been law-abiding and well-behaved. He has not done anything out of the ordinary, but he has not led the village forward either.

Lin Dajiang did not get involved in what happened afterwards.

Their family sold breakfast peacefully, but they also had to worry about the subtle troubles that the Yingkelou God might cause them.

-

"Young master, Miss Xiaoman is already selling breakfast at Ruyi Tower." The servant Kangtai took a steamed bun wrapped in oil paper and told the young master the good news.

He has been living in fear ever since the young master ordered Kangtai to buy juicy dumplings every day.

Master Gu repeatedly warned the young master not to eat food from outside.

Don't underestimate the young master because he is a weak scholar. When he gets stubborn, even nine oxen can't pull him back.

Gu Changsheng looked at Kang Tai: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"what?"

Kangtai looked puzzled.

"You didn't ask!"

Gu Changsheng pointed at the juicy dumplings that Kangtai had packed and said, "Send this to Dad."

Kangtai was confused. The sun rose from the west?

They have all been given to the master. Are you not going to eat them?

Kangtai's surprised expression was so obvious that Gu Changsheng could see through his thoughts at a glance.

He stood up and said, "Let's go to Ruyi Restaurant."

Kangtai frowned.

"Master!"

"Now that we have reached Ruyi Tower, Dad should be relieved."

"Master, the master said..."

Ever since Gu Changsheng could remember, he was used to hearing the servants and old women around him say that the master said four words.

I don’t know who this fortune teller my dad mentioned is, and he has tricked my dad into staying in this small place for so many years.

Gu Changsheng interrupted: "Since you listen to my father so much, then report to my father's yard tomorrow!"

After saying that, he walked away.

The servant Kangtai quickly followed, "Master..."

Gu Changsheng turned his head to glance at the servant, his eyes slightly gloomy, and Kangtai immediately shut up.

A donkey cart stopped at Ruyi Tower.

"Isn't that Master Gu? Why is he here at Ruyi Tower?"

"Have you ever seen Master Gu eating outside?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"I heard that Master Gu has set a rule that Master Gu is not allowed to eat outside."

"Isn't that pitiful? You can't even eat a lot of delicious food?"

"Oh, you are stupid! Gu's house must have ten or eight chefs who can cook all kinds of cuisines..."

"A fortune teller had predicted that Young Master Gu would not survive..."

......

Lin Xiaoman saw the gossips of men.

Before Young Master Gu even entered the house, all kinds of news about him had already spread.

The gossip voices disappeared as Gu Changsheng entered the room, but the inquiring looks cast upon him increased.

Kangtai clenched his fists and glared angrily.

Those straightforward looks disappeared and soon reappeared.

Gu Changsheng seemed not to notice and walked to the Lin family's stall.

"Miss Xiaoman, give me two baskets of juicy dumplings."

Lin Dajiang was always grateful to the Gu family for helping him out, and hurriedly took two baskets of steamed buns and brought them to Gu Changsheng on the empty table.

"Master Gu, be careful of the heat."

Gu Changsheng nodded towards Lin Dajiang, "Uncle Gu, just call me Changsheng."

Lin Dajiang smiled and didn't take it seriously, and hurried back to help.

It was the peak breakfast hour and there were too many customers coming in and out.

The number of people taking out or dining in is even twice as much as yesterday.
