er, your task is as follows"Qinxīn was also a little surprised."Yes, she comes from the Cultivation Realm, and she is a successful Great Ascension Ancestor. The ripples' sensing must be right, I belie...Xing Dayong pretended not to care about his wife's words, but he started thinking about them in his heart.

He Cuicui saw that her husband didn't even disagree, so she knew there was a way to do this. Her eyes rolled, and she continued,

"Daya, you are the eldest son. According to custom, our parents should live with us. As long as we take care of them in their old age, everything they leave behind should belong to our family."

"It's just that this is a new society, and the old ways of parents leaving everything to their eldest son are no longer popular. However, the belongings of both parents should be divided equally among all three sons."

"As you said, those are your parents' things. How could they be divided while your parents are still alive"

Xing Dayong felt his wife was right, but it also depended on the circumstances. Ever since he instigated a fight with his wife and they separated, his parents had been distant. Now he was much more restrained, even if he still had ulterior motives, he kept them to himself.

He also felt that when his parents got old and couldn't work anymore, they would still rely on their son to support them. He treated his younger sister as a precious treasure, so when something happened to his youngest sister this time, they just went to the house that day, took a look around, and didn't interfere with what happened afterwards.

As Dad said, they're separated now, so just take care of your own business. Anyway, as long as Mom and Dad are around, they'll take charge of little sister's affairs. The three of them didn't expect that their parents would not only keep the little sister who had a bad reputation, but also support her to repeat a grade. This made him feel uncomfortable.

So when people asked about his little sister, he would just sigh dramatically and then say that their parents were still around and would take care of her, perfectly portraying the image of a neglected older brother.

And in his view, since they had already split up, his sister's reputation would not affect their family anymore. It was just that with visible benefits now, he couldn't sit still. But he also had his own concerns, and he was still afraid of his father.

“Da Yong, how old are your parents Their bodies aren't good either. For your little sister, they work so hard. You're the eldest son. Can you just stand by and watch Before this, we thought they were just going to the county town with your sister for a couple of days. Now that we know how hard they're working, you have to go see them, help them out.”

He Cuicui immediately found a reasonable excuse for her husband.

"You're right, if I didn't know this, I wouldn't say anything. Now that I know my parents are working hard from dawn till dusk, the harvest season is almost here. We can't let them mistreat their own bodies like this."

Seeing Xing Dayong finally spit it out, He Cuicui only then revealed a smile, her eyes rolled, and she continued:

"Er Yong and San Yong also know about this, and they will definitely go together at that time."

"I understand. I will discuss this with my second and third younger brothers tomorrow."

Xing Dayong knew in his heart that he couldn't get away from this without involving the other two brothers.

The ripples of Fu Yuan Village's calculations were unknown to her, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care. She still went to school as usual, exercising every day, doing drills, memorizing books, and helping her parents run the stall.

Since it's the final sprint of the second semester, even weekend rest has been canceled. Everyone consciously goes to school for self-study, and they can go home by 6 pm in the afternoon.

Because Lin Yi's performance was consistently good and she also contributed her collection of wrong answers, the classmates' impression of her improved. Even when students like Liu Qi made snarky remarks, others stepped up to defend her.

"If you feel it's unfair, don't copy Xing Lianyi's wrong question collection! Using someone else's stuff and still complaining is really shameless!"

"That's right, if you don't use the organized materials others provide, I could even compliment you for your backbone. You're truly someone who eats from a bowl but still scolds the person who serves you. How can you be so shameless!"

The person who was attacked immediately covered their face and ran away. Lian Yi, on the other hand, smiled sweetly at her two classmates and thanked them. She even patiently explained to them the last application problem that the math teacher had left for them today. The three of them then left together.

When Lianyi returned to her rented house, she found that the small courtyard was a bit crowded because all three of her good brothers had come with their wives. This time, they were smart enough to bring some things, though it was just food and firewood. It was much better than coming empty-handed.

Ripple politely greeted her three sisters-in-law and went into her own room to read and do homework.

After a while, Xing's mother brought the dinner in.

"Mother, just call me and I'll come eat."

Ripple said, with a disapproving look.

Since I didn't know what they were thinking, I brought only a little bit of food and thought about making a meat and vegetable dinner for everyone. They could dream! I ended up cooking a pot of corn porridge and salted vegetable dumplings to fill our bellies.

Your meal is ready, I cooked it myself. Eat up, and I'll wash the dishes when you're finished.

Ripple didn't put on a show, she just picked up her bowl and started eating, quietly asking as she ate:

"Big brother, are they having a change of heart and came to see you and father"

"Humph! When I and your father didn't know their minds, He Cuicui's greedy face made me feel annoyed. She wasn't coming for our little business."

Xing's mother said with a gloomy face.

Ripple nodded, understanding. It was to be expected; they never intended to hide it anyway.

So, what are you and father planning to do

The ripples also asked.

"Just keep going for now. After all, your college entrance exam isn't that far off. Your dad and I both want to make as much money as we can while we still can."

"Xing's mother said helplessly, after all, he was her own son, she couldn't completely ignore him."

"Mother, please tell Father to speak with the three brothers and ease the tension between you. We don't want them holding us back when it's time for us to leave."

Ripples cautioned.

"Your father knows what he's doing. Just focus on your studies now."

Ripple nodded in agreement. Anyway, with her parents around, her three brothers couldn't bother her. At most, it would be the three sisters-in-law saying some sour words, but that wouldn't hurt her at all.

When it got dark, the three brothers could only return to the village with their wives. They wanted to make do, but the place was too small and couldn't accommodate them all.

After finishing her homework, Lian Yi went to her parents' room to chat with them and settle the day’s accounts. She had been in charge of keeping track of their earnings so far, remembering each day's income clearly. Once a month, she would summarize the total, ensuring that all three knew how much they had earned and spent.

Ripple counted the money nimbly, recording everything in her ledger. Once she had it all tallied, she finally spoke:

"Father and mother, what did elder brother and the others say"

Mr. Xing's face was still calm, he just said lightly:

They've taken notice of our current small business and also want to come to the county to make money.

"They just see the profit, but don't they look at the initial investment and your hard work every day"

Ripple scoffed.

Though Old Xing didn't speak, his expression conveyed the same message.

"Well, father, what are your plans"

Ripple asked.

"I told them everything needed for this little stall and let them go calculate the cost. If they're really serious about it, then prepare yourselves. This pancake business can be taught to them by their own mothers." came to seek refuge in the underground base. Besides the safety it offered, it also had advanced weapons that were suitable for us to use.”"I see."The ripples nodded their heads, then said again:"We...
