Chapter 809: Giving in

When Su Mulan left the main room, Xie Guangbai looked around the room and said with a smile, "You are still the same as before. You don't like to be too ostentatious and luxurious in everything. Even if you have money, food and accommodation are very simple."

“The third brother hasn’t changed much, and he looks very energetic.”

Bai Shitang added some more tea to Xie Guangbai, "Just now, the third brother said that the eldest brother and the second brother were stymied by something. It will take two days to get here. Are they busy with water transportation?"

"Isn't it? In winter, this is the most troublesome..."

The first two people in the room seemed to be chatting lively. Seeing that Li and Xu had arrived, Su Mulan asked them to clean the yard first and then prepare the ingredients for lunch.

Just now, Xie Guangbai said that there were no taboos. He also remembered that he lived further north than here and probably liked stews more in winter, so he thought of making braised mutton for lunch.

There was ready-made mutton with skin on at home. I washed it and chopped it quickly, then put it on the big stove to stew.

He added some charcoal fire to the small stove and boiled a pot of boiling water so that Bai Shitang and Xie Guangbai could drink tea.

Bai Shitang and Xie Guangbai were in the room and chatted for a long time.

After understanding each other's current situation, everything is going well, and the two of them are in a good mood at the moment.

“Looking at your attitude, you don’t plan to go back to live in the future?” Xie Guangbai asked.

"My wife and children cannot live without people at home. The eldest brother and second brother are also taking care of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce on weekdays. I think there is nothing wrong with it. I have made arrangements for everything that can be done for the Chamber of Commerce here."

“If I have to run for something occasionally, I can go for a run. If I am separated from my family for a long time, that is not possible.”

Seeing what Bai Shitang said, Xie Guangbai nodded, "That's right, running around and working hard is just for the prosperity of the family and the happiness of the family. Since the money earned in the hands is enough to eat, drink and spend, there is no need to be too greedy."

"But your words like this will only satisfy the second child. If he hears these words, he will probably feel proud for a long time."

Xie Guangbai paused, drank the tea in his hand, and looked at Bai Shitang, "Are you really willing to give up your credit to the second brother? I can tell you, the second brother doesn't care about you. Well, I’m afraid I still think it’s natural.”

“It’s all the business of the Chamber of Commerce, it’s hard to say whose credit it is.”

Bai Shitang replied in a deep voice, "I joined the Chamber of Commerce late, and my eldest brother and third brother took good care of me. There was inevitably a gap in my second brother's heart. I also know that third brother was aggrieved for me, but if my second brother and I really got into a fight, it would give me a headache." Instead, it’s you and brother.”

“Second brother is hard-working and dedicated to the Chamber of Commerce. There is no need to cause unrest in the Chamber of Commerce because of a disagreement with me.”

"That's the truth." Xie Guangbai sighed, "It's hard to think that you are open-minded and willing to let go. If you are an ordinary person, you may not be able to see through this layer. I also admire you very much."

“The third brother was joking. Mainly because I love home a lot. As I get older, I don’t want to go out and walk around anymore.” Bai Shitang said with a smile.

“You are only a few years old and you say you are old. Then wouldn’t it mean that half of my body is buried in the ground?”

Xie Guangbai glanced at Bai Shitang and said, "You always say that you are old and you are deliberately embarrassing me?"

“Where do you have the courage?” Bai Shitang put down the teacup in his hand.
