Chapter 76 Good Older Brother

  "Luoyang, drink some water, I added honey, it will make you feel a bit better." Luoye handed a warm cup of honey water to Luoyang. The little girl's tense face relaxed slightly, and from her, Luoye saw the shadow of her own past, and in her heart, she felt an inexplicable closeness.

  The little girl's eyes were fixed on the pine ball, and Luo Ye smiled and pulled her hand to touch the pine ball twice: "Doesn't it feel comfortable?"

  The pine ball let out two "hums" and curled up its small body, as if protesting that its little master was using it as a diplomatic tool. The adorable appearance of the little thing made Luo Yang's face tighten with a hint of a smile, and he looked at Luo Ye with a helpless expression: "Sister Ye treats me like I'm six years old?"

  The little girl's helpless look made Luo Ye laugh and point at the water cup: "Finally smiled, not easy, hurry up and drink water."

  "Brother, you have some too, Ye Jie's brewing isn't too sweet." Luoyang drank half a cup and handed the rest to his brother Luoshui beside him.

  Luoshui naturally took a sip and finished it, looking at Luoye: "Thank you."

  "Not yet, what else?" Luo Ye found Luo Shui to be quite interesting. When looking at her sister, her eyes were filled with gentle concern, but once her gaze shifted to someone else, it became indifferent.

  "Not needed, thank you!" Luoshui replied in a distant yet polite manner.

  "Fourth Uncle, I really don't know what to say." Luo Dongping, who had been silent all along, raised his head. After being brought back from that chaotic scene by Old Master Luo, he had been covering his forehead in silence. His wife, Qiu Yajing, sat quietly beside him, as if demonstrating her determination to follow her husband's lead.

  Old Luo waved his hand: "I don't know what to say, so I won't say anything. Today, rest here for a night, and in the future, come back and stay at Fourth Uncle's house. Fourth Uncle left you a set of keys."

  The only one in the village who dared to take in Luo Dongping's family was Old Man Luo. Luo Dongli and Luo Dongfang were afraid of offending Luo Zhengang because of his status, so they didn't dare to come to the door.

  Qiu Ya looked at Old Man Luo with gratitude: "Fourth Uncle, thank you. Dongping is stubborn and as his older brother, he wouldn't fight back even if he was beaten to death. He thought it was unfilial for Father not to return for three years, but didn't expect things to turn out like this, sigh!"

  "Fourth Uncle, I just want to see if my two elder brothers can really beat me to death. I don't want any property, and I didn't plan on suing them either. Why are they still acting like this?" Luo Dong's eyes were filled with deep pain, remembering the love his younger brother had shown him when they were young, how could they have become sworn enemies now?

  "You won't die from beating, at most you'll be beaten until you don't dare to come back." Old Master Luo sighed: "Dongping, listen to your fourth uncle's words, don't be stubborn. Your two brothers are not the same as before, why do you have to stake your life? They wouldn't dare kill you, but what if they accidentally leave some evidence behind, won't Qiu Ya and the children suffer?"

  "Yes, I always tell him that too, but he never listens."

  "It serves him right!" Luo Shui's cold voice rang out.

  Qiu Ya looked at her son discontentedly: "Luo Shui, you can't talk about your father like that."

  "Faced with a group of relatives who regard themselves as thorns in the flesh, yet insist on delivering themselves to be bullied and humiliated - isn't that foolish? And when beaten to death, he wouldn't even fight back. Has he ever thought that if he died, would the other party applaud with joy?" Luo Shui looked seriously at Grandfather Luo: "Fourth Grandfather, speak a fair word, shouldn't my father's property be taken back?"

  "Luoye sighed softly: 'Luoshui, Fourth Grandfather understands your feelings very well, but your father doesn't want to completely lose this root.'"

  "What's the point of losing? What's the point of keeping it? Dad, I'm leaving this here, and when I, Luo Shui, have the ability, I will definitely take back what belongs to us. They can't just occupy our family's property and enjoy it, I'd rather donate it to an orphanage than let them enjoy something that doesn't belong to them! The hatred in Luo Shui's eyes seemed to be burning, all the humiliation he had suffered from childhood to adulthood made him feel nothing but hatred towards these two relatives."

  When they were the poorest, the whole family was crowded in a cold and damp small house of only 10 or so square meters. They couldn't eat well or dress warmly, and his sister's body has been weak to this day. In those unbearable days, he took on everything that someone of his age shouldn't have to bear. He once vowed that he would definitely make something of himself and take back what belonged to him with his own hands. He wanted to let those heartless people personally taste the flavor of humiliation!

  "Luoshui, you're still young and don't understand the weight of brotherly love in my heart. This feeling is the same as your feelings towards Yangyang. To completely let go would be like cutting out a piece of flesh from my heart."

  "It's not the same!" Luoshui gazed gently at Luoyang, but her eyes turned icy as she raised her head: "Those people aren't worthy of comparison to my and little sister's feelings. Father, if you don't want me to hate you even more, think about how to take back what belongs to us."

  "Water, water..." Qiu Ya looked at the father and son with concern. Because of the two uncles' affairs, the father and son had always been incompatible, like fire and water. The son hadn't spent a single penny from home since high school, doing odd jobs and tutoring, enduring all kinds of hardships. No matter how she tried to persuade them, it was no use.

  After going to college, he started his own software company. Although the scale is not large, with the son's persistent personality, success is only a matter of time. At that time, the relationship between father and son will be even harder to reconcile.

  "Mom, don't try to persuade me, you'd better persuade Dad instead..."

  Lu Ye has been observing this family, and he also has some feelings. In the face of wealth and benefits, some people's hearts are indeed blinded. Lu Shui's personality seems to be a bit too strong-willed and biased, but isn't it forced out?

  It seems that Luo Shui is only two or three years older than her, but the pressure she bears is no less. Compared to Luo Yang's uncles, her own uncle is considered good, at least they are sincere in their treatment of Father. They can't be blamed for not being able to take charge of the family. As for Aunt, it's not easy to marry a virtuous wife.

  Looking at the slender little figure beside her, Luo Ye couldn't help but put her arm around her small shoulders, who was only two years younger than herself. The faint sadness in her eyes really tugged at one's heartstrings.

  Feeling Luo Ye's kindness, Luo Yang lifted his small face and smiled: "Ye Er sister, don't worry, I'm very strong, compared to brother, I haven't suffered much, brother took good care of me." Looking at Luo Feng who was deep in thought: "Feng Er brother, you should learn from my brother."

  Lu Ye's lips curled up into a smile: "Yang Yang can come to find me often from now on, I haven't been out much before, since we met this time, we should keep in touch."

  "This... I want to ask brother." Luoyang smiled awkwardly: "Since childhood, it's always been brother taking care of me, I should respect brother's opinion."

  "Alright, I can let your brother go with you. Luo Shui and my brother are probably around the same age, they should be able to become friends."

  "Uh, we don't have many friends either. I like Ye Jie's personality." Luoyang's small face broke into a genuine smile, no longer just a polite courtesy.

  The dispute between Luo Shui and Luo Dongping ended without a conclusion, and just as the father and son were about to clash again, Grandpa Luo hastily called Luo Dongping away to the courtyard. The contradictions between the father and son had been accumulating for a long time and could not be resolved with just a few words, nor could they be persuaded by others. All he could do was to separate the two and let them calm down.

  Qiu Ya hesitated for a moment, then followed them out. The room was left with four younger ones. Luo Ye pondered for a moment and looked at Luo Shui: "Actually, by doing this, you will only make the relationship between your family members more awkward, and those who don't want you to live well will laugh even more thoroughly."

  "Luoye, considering how well you've treated my sister, I don't want to say anything that would hurt you too much. Can you imagine the hardships my sister and I have endured since childhood? All of this is a result of our father's indulgence and tolerance towards our uncles." The handsome face, suspended between manhood and boyhood, was suddenly shrouded in anger: "I won't forgive those two people, nor can I forgive my father's foolish filial piety!"

  "Alright, what do you want to do?" Luo Ye's delicate little face turned serious: "Don't think I'm asking childishly or provokingly. My brother and I may not have suffered as much as you all, but we haven't had it easy either. I can understand your feelings, so I just hope your whole family is happy, that's all."

  Luoyang smiled coldly: "You? As the mayor's son and daughter, what hardships will you suffer?"

  "Believe it or not, it's up to you..." Luo Ye smiled calmly: "You think you've suffered the most grievances and hardships, that's because you haven't walked into other people's lives and taken a good look, nor have you carefully observed others. As for your father's methods, I naturally don't agree with them, but your stubbornness and mockery, what kind of son should be doing that? I'm advising you because I pity Luo Yang, do you think it's just a coincidence that I'm advising you?" After saying all this, she couldn't help but laugh at herself, when she misunderstood her father in the past, wasn't it the same as Luo Shui now?

  Luoshui wanted to refute, but suddenly realized that he had never really observed others. All these years, he had been running on his own track, rushing to reach his goal without ever stopping to look around. However, when it came to saying that the other person had suffered more than them, he was absolutely unwilling to believe it. Forget it, since the other person had kindly saved their family, he wouldn't bother to argue with her anymore.

  "Okay, thanks for trying to persuade me!"

  "Ah..." Luo Ye couldn't help but laugh at this person's stubbornness. Just by looking at his eyes, you could tell that he was not convinced.

  Luofeng, who had been quietly pondering, suddenly lifted his head and looked at Luoye with a apologetic expression: "Ye'er, compared to Luoshui, I'm really not a good brother."

  "It's not comparable, people with different personalities can't be compared. I'm already satisfied with Ge's kindness to me, but it's good for you two to chat and complement each other...". Luo Ye pulled Luo Yang: "Let's go, I'll take you to the field to pick strawberries."
