"Big brother, what did Little Nine do to you?"
Yuan Lu had noticed Old Yuan’s attitude toward Yuan Zhaodi and waited until Old Yuan was next to him before softly asking the question.
"That brat, he’s already a father and still shows no responsibility, how can I not be angry?"
"Always flaunting his little cleverness, it’s frustrating to watch!"
Old Yuan is just disheartened because he expects better from him.
Yuan Lu heard this and laughed directly, saying, "Big brother, we were pretty much the same back when we were as young as Little Nine. You should look past it!"
Yuan Shou chuckled, "I remember when sister-in-law just gave birth to Pandi, you were leading us all over the mountains!"
"Come on, that’s all ancient history, what’s the point of talking about it!"
Old Yuan felt a bit embarrassed listening to his two brothers. Check latest chapters at novel[f]ire.net
Truth be told, as his brothers mentioned, he wasn’t much better back in those days.
"Sigh, in a blink, thirty years are about to pass and we’re all getting older!"
Old Yuan sat down, looking a bit sheepish, "At our age, each day is less than the day before."
"But now that the Yuan Family has a little girl, even if I head down under, I can hold my head high when facing our ancestors!"
"Big brother, please don’t say that!"
Yuan Lu rolled his eyes, "Our Yuan Family has a girl now, that’s a big blessing. Don’t you want to watch Jiaojiao grow up and get married?"
Though he wishes, only heaven knows if they will live to see that day.
Why is the Yuan Family so eager to have a daughter?
It’s because a fortune teller once said the Yuan Family’s fate had a deficiency, and every man in the Yuan Family struggles to live past sixty. The truth of that statement is reflected in their ancestors, none of whom lived past sixty.
Initially, the Yuan Family didn’t take the fortune teller’s words seriously.
But eventually, they had to believe.
Later, they sought advice from another master, who suggested that the Yuan Family had an excess of yang energy and insufficient yin. The principle of Heavenly Dao states that isolated yin doesn’t endure, isolated yang does not survive. If the Yuan Family had a girl, it might possibly compensate for the deficiency in their fate.
Regrettably, even with a girl, it only potentially changes the curse on the men of the Yuan Family.
"Big brother, I think Jiaojiao being born into our family is meant to change our fate."
Yuan Shou smacked his lips and continued, "Think about it, Little Nine’s wife gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins this time."
"What does that signify? It signifies prosperity with dragon and phoenix in harmony!"
"Big brother, have faith, our family’s fate is determined to change!"
Old Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
A moment later, Old Yuan suddenly turned to his two younger brothers and said: "Tomorrow, during Jiaojiao’s third-day celebration, let’s prepare something to burn for our ancestors, informing them of this good news!"
"We should inform the ancestors!"
Yuan Lu and Yuan Shou nodded in agreement.
This joyous occasion certainly warrants sharing with the ancestors. Yesterday’s excitement made them forget about it. In fact, they should have reported the good news to the ancestors right away.
"I’ll take a stroll over there!"
After chatting with his two brothers for a while, Old Yuan slowly headed towards the gully in the west.
Yuan Lu and Yuan Shou exchanged glances, picked up their axes, and continued working.
