Chapter 415: Sickly Elder Brother - Twenty-three

After Cui Lu and others collected the bear skin, bear gall and bear paws, it was already dark. Because Yun Mo didn't want bear meat, they discussed it and decided to borrow a large iron pot from Cui's mother. They set up the pot in the open space in front of Yun Mo's house, chopped the bear meat into pieces and threw it into the pot to cook.

Then Cui's father went to find the clan leader and asked him to arrange someone to notify the clan members that all members of the Cui family could bring one pound of vegetables and their own bowls and chopsticks to Yun Mo's house to share the meat.

After Cui's mother had prepared bath water for her children, she told Cui Yan to take Yun Mo's share to Yun Mo's room. Several women came over to help cook a big pot of rice. Cui's mother no longer cared about the rest of her children and hurried out to take charge of the situation. She also contributed several large basins to wash vegetables.

Several women were busy and gossiping. One said that the east family's mother-in-law was too cruel to her daughter-in-law, and another said that the west family's daughter-in-law was caught cheating by her husband and almost beat the man to death. Some people looked at Cui's mother's earrings because they were beautiful and asked about them. When they found out that Yun Mo bought them, they were envious and sighed why they didn't give birth to a son like Dalang.

In the past, Cui's mother was just like them, either wrapping her head with a piece of cloth or wearing a wooden hairpin. But look at Cui's mother now. The hairpins on her head, the things on her hands, and even the earrings are all things they dare only glance at. They are all smart and want to marry their relatives into the Cui family. They know that they are not worthy of someone like Yun Mo, so they all keep their eyes on Yun Mo's younger brothers and sisters.

Cui's mother made excuses with a smile on her face, saying that Yun Mo had already made plans for the marriages of the brothers and sisters, and they promised not to interfere.

As a result, these people were dissatisfied. One said that marriage should be decided by parents, while another said that it was not right for an older brother to interfere in the marriage of his younger siblings.

Seeing Mother Cui smiling silently, the others knew that Yun Mo would have to approve the marriages of Cui Yan, Cui Yi, Cui Feng, and Cui Ying. Although parents had always been the decision-makers of their children's marriages, Yun Mo was the eldest brother. As long as Mother and Father Cui gave him some authority, Yun Mo could make the final decision.

This led to them naturally changing the subject after they confirmed Cui's mother's intentions, seeing that they could not persuade her. They saw that the Cui family was about to rise, and wanted to establish a relationship with them, not to make enemies.

In the room, Yun Mo was leaning against the head of the bed after taking a shower, wearing a thin inner garment. His long black hair had been dried by his spiritual power and casually draped behind him. The book in his hand was obtained by the system from the Heavenly Dao of this world. His younger brother was going to take the imperial examination, and he wanted these books to give to Cui Yi. He took them in hand to read, just to kill time.

It was at this time that Cui Yan and Cui Yi knocked on the door.

Yun Mo called out, "Come in," and the two brothers pushed the door open and walked in. After entering, they found that Yun Mo was wearing thin clothes, so Cui Yi quickly closed the door.

Cui Yi: "The weather is getting a lot colder."

Cui Yi: "Brother, you should wear more clothes." Yun Mo: "I'm getting ready for bed now."

Yun Mo: "Where's Silang?"

Yun Mo: "Why don't you see him?"

Cui's translation: "Ying'er got a box of jade leaves, and my fourth brother is helping her put on the hairband."

Cui Yi: "Brother, Ying'er is still young. Aren't you spoiling her too much by giving her those things?"

Yun Mo: "They are just some rocks for kids to play with, why are you envious of her?"

Yun Mo: "Here, yours are on the table"

Cui Yan: "We don't need it, right?"

Cui Yan: "We are boys, we don't need bracelets, jade leaves and other things."

Yun Mo dropped the book in his hand, stood up and walked to the tea table and sat down.

Yun Mo: "Then don't ask for it"

Yun Mo: "Ah Yi, I prepared some jade pendants for you to wear."

Yun Mo: "There are also a few jade hairpins, jade crowns, jade rings and the like, you can wear them for fun."

Yun Mo: "Since Ah Yan doesn't want it anymore, his share..."

Cui Yan: "I want it! I want it!"

Cui Yan: "I want these!"

Cui Yan grabbed the remaining two boxes, causing Yun Mo to raise his hand and hit him on the head.

Cui Yan: “Ouch (covering head)”

Cui Yan: "Brother, it hurts so much"

Yun Mo: "You just said no, but now you want it"

Yun Mo: "It's alright if you want it, it was originally prepared for you, but there's no need for you to take Xiao Si's share as well."

Yun Mo: "He doesn't act like a brother at all"

Cui Yan: "(bitter face) I didn't know there was a little Si, how old is he?"

Yun Mo: "He is not very old, so he only has one hair crown. I will give him the others in a few years."

Yun Mo: "Don't be jealous when the time comes"

Cui Yan: "Hey, how can I be jealous of him?"

Cui Yi: "Don't worry, brother, I understand."

Yun Mo: "Okay, take all of these, and give Xiao Si's share to him."

Yun Mo casually took out two books from his bookshelf and placed them on Cui Yi's box.

Yun Mo: "Take these two books back and take a look."

Yun Mo: "If you don't understand something, you can ask me."

Cui Yi held the box carefully and nodded solemnly.

Yun Mo then waved his hand, indicating that they could leave. Cui Yan picked up the box and immediately rushed out of Yun Mo's room. God knows his scalp was tingling when he saw Yun Mo delivering the book. Now that they could leave, he refused to stay for even a second longer.

Cui Yi was much more composed. He bowed and left in a graceful manner.

Yun Mo: "He can run so fast even with a 20-pound weight on his feet. It seems he should increase the weight."
