"...?!"
Both Youngest Xu and Second Xu were extremely stunned after hearing these words from Eldest Xu.
After the shock, Second Xu blurted out his opinion of his elder brother, "Big Brother, I didn't know you're a wily old fox!"
"Can you speak properly?" Eldest Xu glared. "This should be called unparalleled wisdom! 'Wily old fox' should be used to describe those treacherous court officials! Your eldest brother looks so honest and loyal, so how could I be a wily old fox?"
Youngest Xu immediately presented him with an idiom. "The most treacherous person appears the most guileless!"
"Get out, get out, get out…" Eldest Xu turned his head to ignore the two stupid brothers, furious.
When they were young, if he weren't so clever, how could they eat delicious foods so often? Seriously, after eating all that good food, they were still complaining about him; they really had no conscience.
Seeing Eldest Xu sulking alone, Second Xu and Youngest Xu looked at each other. Both were quite happy.
Among the three brothers, although Youngest Xu was the best in terms of studying, when it came to being a cunning person, Eldest Xu was definitely streets ahead of his brothers.
Now that they saw their eldest brother aggrieved, how could the two brothers not be happy?
The fishing continued after the small dispute.
Not long after, more and more people gathered by the Blossom River.
The two elder Xu brothers had previously caught huge fish that noon, which was hard to hide from others. Now all three brothers of the Xu family had come to fish. After the villagers caught sight of this, they would naturally not just sit by and watch them. They decided to come along to share the blessing.
After all, the Xu family had green smoke coming out of their ancestral grave, which was not something they could compete with.
However, it wouldn't be too difficult to share a tiny bit of their blessing, would it?
With such thoughts, many men from the village brought over their fishing equipment to the river.
However, it was destined to be a futile wait.
Compared to the patience of the Xu brothers, the villagers in Spirit Water Village were not so calm.
Half an hour later, the people who came to fish by the river began to retreat in groups of twos and threes.
Rather than wasting free time here, it was better for them to try their luck in the mountains. Even if they might not be able to catch preys like rabbits or pheasants, just gathering some herbs and cutting two bundles of firewood was still better than this.
Gradually, most of the people by the Blossom River were gone.
"Yes!"
When only a few villagers were left in their surroundings, Second Xu's fishing rod sank a little.
Then, Eldest Xu's fishing rod also moved.
The two brothers immediately stood up and began a battle of strength with the fish that had bitten the hook.
After a tug of war, the fish were dragged out of the water.
Although they were not as big as the two huge fish at noon, these fish were not small either. Each fish seemed to weigh around six or seven catties.
Seeing that both elder brothers had each caught a fish, Youngest Xu could no longer relax.
They were all born to the same parents, so why was the gap so huge?
Of course, the few villagers who hadn't left were even more agitated than Youngest Xu. Seeing the two fish caught by the Xu brothers, they all became envious and jealous.
It was only Youngest Xu's lack of harvest that slightly alleviated the saltiness that overwhelmed their hearts.
But soon, the villagers discovered that they had been too early in celebrating their happiness!
Youngest Xu also stood up and started to fight hard with the other end.
"This is too much!"
"Is the smoke from the ancestral grave that powerful?"
"While the Xu family obtains huge gains, is it so difficult for us to at least share some small gains?"
The few villagers who were still by the river were extremely jealous.
However, no matter how salty they were, no gain is no gain. As for causing trouble with the Xu family, they were not so wretched.
