After leaving the Chen family, Mr. Ma and Mr. Yu and his group also returned. Along the way, they were still discussing the matter of building a school that Qing Ning had mentioned today.

"Why is there someone at the gate?" Yu Shi saw a man and a horse standing in front of him from afar, but it was dark and he couldn't see their faces clearly.

They all looked up and squinted their eyes at the same time, and only after they took a few steps closer did they realize that it was Yu Ba.

"Godfather, Mr. Ma, and all my brothers." Yu Ba bowed to them one by one when he saw them coming back.

"Brother Ba, why did you come down the mountain?" Yu Shi stepped forward and hugged Yu Ba, very happy.

"I was afraid you were having too much fun down the mountain, so I came to keep an eye on you."

When Yu Shi heard this, he jumped up immediately. What a boring Eighth Brother! Everyone else didn't mind and just smiled.

Yu Ba stepped forward, pulled out a letter from his bosom and handed it over respectfully, adding, "Today I received a letter from my family in Shangjing, saying that the two ladies have asked several young men and women in their family to come here. They will probably arrive before the Dragon Boat Festival."

While Yu Ba was relaying the message, Old Man Yu had almost finished reading the contents of the letter.

He closed the letter with both hands, snorted unhappily, and turned into the yard.

Yu Shi quickly helped to lead the horse and settled it in the yard.

Old Master Yu didn't come into the house either, but sat on a wooden bench in the yard, looking rather grim. Mr. Ma saw that he was angry, so he ignored him and went into the kitchen.

Yu San and his brothers stood aside, exchanging glances with each other, and no one was willing to speak first.

"What do these bastards mean? Why did they send me here? I've already retired, and they can't let me live freely. They sent these little guys here to make my life miserable."

The more Old Man Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He had only two daughters and ten sons in his life. One of his own daughters had married out, and one had been married into his family. In the first few years after he left office, he'd thought about traveling and enjoying himself, but before he'd had a few years of fun, he was sending his grandchildren home. The letter said he wanted them to teach them well and let them understand the suffering of the people.

Why couldn't the teachers at home take on this important task, and instead had to send an old man like him? And he acted first and asked for permission later, sending this letter only after he had already left for quite some time.

In fact, it is understandable. It is like when you finally retire and want to enjoy life, but they insist on asking you to take care of the children. The key is that there are obviously people who can teach them, but they choose to ask you to take care of the children.

The brothers remained silent, just waiting for the old man to calm down.

"Forget it, just come. It's just the right time to go to the fields to stretch your muscles and experience the people's livelihood. If you bring a teacher with you, let him teach you. If you don't, you brothers will have to work hard. Just stay with Qingning and his brothers and sisters." After saying that, he took the letter and went back to the house.

Seeing this, several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The young men and women in the family were not quiet people, so it was no wonder that the adoptive father had a headache. This time, there would be some fun!

"By the way, Lao Ba, have you not eaten yet?" Yu San suddenly thought of this and asked.

Yu Ba nodded. As soon as he received the message, he immediately went down the mountain and rushed here, not daring to delay.

"Wait a moment, I'll cook some sweet potatoes for you to fill your stomach. Come and join us tonight." As he said this, he invited Yu Shi to go into the kitchen with him.

Soon a plate of sweet potatoes was brought out, and Yu Ba was not polite.

Halfway through the meal, Old Man Yu came out of the house and looked at the brothers, who felt frightened by their gaze.

"Godfather, why are you always staring at us? Is there anything you want to tell me?" Yu Shi couldn't stand it anymore and asked.

Old Master Yu frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "What I'm saying is, now that these kids are here, if we leave them up the mountain, we'll have to go back, and I don't want to. But if we don't stay up the mountain, there's no room for us here at Old Ma. What should we do?"

When they heard that this was what Mr. Yu had in mind, they all relaxed.

After a moment's silence, Yu Wu spoke up, "Foster father, Qing Ning said he wanted to build a school. Tomorrow, we'll see to it that the village has finalized this matter, and then we'll find more people to build the school. For now, just one or two rooms will be enough, and we can build more later. We'll contribute more money to ensure the village doesn't need too much. As for housing, if you can't, we can build a few more rooms next to Mr. Ma's place. Talk to Mr. Ma and the village chief about it. If nothing goes wrong, a month should be enough."

When Old Man Yu heard this, he immediately made the decision: "It's settled. This matter will be handed over to you brothers. Now that you are here, enjoy this rural life."

When Mr. Ma heard that his children also wanted to live with him, he immediately became unhappy.

"What do you guys mean? Do you think this is your own home? You can live here and build houses whenever you want? Have you asked for my opinion as the owner?" Mr. Ma scolded them. The younger ones didn't dare to speak and lowered their heads and moved aside.

Old Master Yu also knew that he was wrong and had overstepped his bounds, so he quickly apologized to Mr. Ma: "Brother Ma, it was my fault for making the decision without authorization. I apologize to you."

Mr. Ma was a little uncomfortable with him. They had known each other for decades, but this old man had never been so humble and respectful.

Before Mr. Ma could react, Old Man Yu spoke again, "I originally thought that since we two brothers have known each other for decades, there's no need to distinguish between you and me. I naturally considered this place my own home. Besides, the younger generations all call you Aye, and they respect you very much. I thought you would agree, so we ignored you. It's our fault."

He said this with a hurt expression again, and continued: "I never thought that I would be so old, and my old brothers would become estranged from me. I have to drag this old bone with a bunch of grandchildren to nowhere. How sad!"

This expression and tone are so sad.

Seeing their adoptive father like this, Yu San and his brothers turned their heads away and dared not look at him any longer, fearing they would lose control if they looked at him too much.

Mr. Ma was somewhat touched by the introduction, but after hearing the latter part and the other party's behavior, he rolled his eyes.

He said angrily, "Alright, you're already old and you're not ashamed. Who are you acting for? The older you get, the less presentable you become. Build it, just don't get in my way. I don't have to pay for it anyway."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned into the house. When he passed by Old Man Yu, he gave him a fierce look full of disgust.

"Okay, you guys hurry up and finish eating, take a shower and go to bed. I'm going to bed too." After giving them some instructions, he ignored them.

Seeing the two old men enter the house, they breathed a sigh of relief. Alas, these two old men are really enemies!
