Chapter 353: Chapter 353

With such a loud voice, Zhao Guangran next door must have heard it. At this moment, he is probably drawing circles for Zhao Banxia’s two kids.

Gong Ruini has indeed heard Zhao Guangran complain about how his two younger brothers don’t have a good attitude towards him. There is absolutely no good thing that includes him as the older brother, but when there’s something bad, he, the second brother, definitely gets involved.

However, lately, Zhao Guangran has really been practicing restraint. In the past, he would have jumped up and loudly complained, saying these two kids lacked conscience in all sorts of ways.

It seems that the recent twin strikes have really hit him hard. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he fight back?

Actually, Gong Ruini didn’t see any movement in the room next door because Zhao Guangran was held back by Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen, "Guangran, Guangran, just don’t argue with Banxia and them."

"Exactly, you’re the older brother, you shouldn’t quarrel with your younger brothers over these things."

Listening to all this persuasion, Zhao Guangran truly felt exceptionally wronged. Why must the older brother always concede, "They don’t even see me as their second brother."

Zhao Guangran was quite haughty, "They don’t treat me like a brother, so why should I be nice to them?"

If the two younger brothers treated him well and respected him in every way, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t mind being nicer to them and even covering for them when needed.

Isn’t it the older brother’s job to cover for the younger siblings?

There was an issue, definitely an issue with those twins. Zhao Xuran always thought this brother of his wouldn’t care about these things, but today he actually heard so many complaints.

If this mental knot isn’t unraveled, can their brotherly relationship improve in the future?

Zhao Xuran didn’t expect their relationship to be as close as one, but they shouldn’t start fighting internally either, "Then go, but don’t upset Ni Zi."

Zhao Xuran didn’t forget to give a warning, his gaze clearly saying that if the matter isn’t resolved, there will be consequences.

Zhao Xuran’s look made Zhao Guangran’s backside tighten; if this issue really upset Gong Ruini, the elder brother would surely assign a lot of homework afterwards.

Actually, Zhao Guangran wasn’t too worried about more homework; it just meant less playtime. But once the elder brother started crafting test questions, that would definitely be his doom.

If he didn’t do well on exams, their dad wouldn’t be lenient with homework load and might even dock his pocket money.

This was a policy implemented by Zhao Gang after the kids made money from herbs, mainly because the penny-pinching Zhao Guangran, after realizing the potential earnings from herbs, spent too much time on it and started disregarding his studies.

Zhao Xuran had tried advising him initially, but despite Zhao Guangran agreeing, he continued at his own pace. When Zhao Gang found out, he directly set this rule.

It’s not that Zhao Guangran was worried about more homework; what really got him anxious was the docking of pocket money. Though it was managed by the elder brother, he still couldn’t spend it as he wished.

But as long as the money was with the elder brother, it was still his money. As long as his spending was reasonable, the elder brother would always agree, but once the money was docked, it was no longer his. How could he not be anxious?

Thinking about his money made Zhao Guangran nervous about everything else, but he couldn’t let it affect his finances.

Zhao Guangran meticulously calculated how he should speak to Zhao Banxia once inside, just as he heard Gong Ruini begin to speak.

"It’s not Brother Guangran’s fault; it’s me, your sister, who’s angry with you." If it wasn’t Guangran who did it, he shouldn’t bear the blame.

Ah, wasn’t it Brother Guangran who upset Sister Ni Zi? Then who did make her unhappy? Zhao Banxia and Zhao Zisu looked at Gong Ruini in confusion.

Still, Sister Ni is the best. Zhao Guangran tried hard to hold back his joyful tears, even though Sister Ni Zi usually bullied him, she still stood by him at crucial moments, supporting him and speaking out for him.

"That’s because you keep talking about the delicious food you eat, but think about what Ni Zi is eating." She only has a good temper; if it were him, he would have exploded long ago.

But compared to him, Sister Ni Zi treats these two brats much better. If it were him, he’d probably have exploded already.

Ah, it’s their fault? Zhao Banxia absolutely wouldn’t admit it was them who made Sister Ni unhappy, "Brother Guangran, you’re lying. We wouldn’t do something to make Sister Ni upset."

"Yes, exactly." Zhao Zisu was also nodding along with Zhao Banxia, huffing. It must be Brother Guangran who upset Sister Ni.

"You ate spicy fried rabbit cubes, but think about what Ni Zi was eating." One by one, they committed wrongs and still acted like they did nothing wrong; kids truly are blissful, able to use ignorance to evade mistakes.

Clearly, he was also a kid; Zhao Guangran truly felt wronged, but at home, they insisted on treating him like an adult, a role he hadn’t yet adapted to.

"Sister Ni Zi ate porridge, flavorless porridge." Zhao Banxia said weakly at the end.

Zhao Banxia wasn’t fond of porridge, and recalling the sight of Sister Ni consuming porridge last time, he also saw her not enjoying it, "Sister, it was my mistake."

"It was my mistake." Used to always following his twin brother’s lead, Zhao Zisu also apologized, believing Brother Guangran’s words might need consideration, but the elder and third brothers’ words should be unquestioningly followed.

"Just knowing your mistake is enough?" Hahaha, today I am in an extraordinarily good mood, finally seeing the twins stumble, Zhao Guangran couldn’t even remember the last time he saw them struggle.

Since such a great opportunity was presented before him, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t miss such a chance. Follow current novels on ɴovelfire.net

Retaliating, Zhao Banxia glared at Zhao Guangran; even Sister Ni didn’t get upset, yet this second brother jumped out, seemingly eager to see them in trouble. How could there be a brother in the world?

"We’ll give Sister Ni Zi the delicious food." Seeing their third brother unhappy, Zhao Zisu’s animal-like sensitivity caught onto this, huffing. Just as expected, second brother wasn’t a good person.

"We will accompany Sister Ni Zi, and we won’t say Sister Ni Zi is delicate."

"Yes, we won’t mock Sister Ni Zi."

Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen couldn’t help but laugh in the outer room. Originally, Zhao Guangran went in to reason, with the twins clearly at fault, but within moments, the tables turned, and it became Zhao Guangran who was at fault in every way.

"But is it fair for them to bully Guangran ?" Gong Ruwen asked worriedly, knowing that Zhao Guangran cared deeply about his pride. Being suddenly bullied by his younger brothers might make him very upset.

Is it fair? Of course it’s not fair, but sometimes Zhao Guangran was a bit too jumpy. It’s good for someone to keep him in check every now and then.

Zhao Xuran wasn’t comfortable discussing Zhao Guangran too much, letting the younger ones point out a thing or two was fine, "Don’t worry, they’re brothers after all."

Gong Ruwen thought that wasn’t the right approach, but seeing Zhao Xuran’s serious expression, well, since Xuran said it was fine, what was he worrying about?
