"Why would I deceive you?" Uncle Lu nodded earnestly.
Alas, my second brother is a good man in every way, but sometimes he is too rigid in his belief in 'a promise worth its weight in gold' and utterly inflexible. Considering how he made this decision on his own, wouldn't Grandpa be unable to scold him when they meet in the future?
But even if he were scolded, what of it? Currently, the second branch of the family doesn't have any grandsons. As the eldest brother, hasn't he always been looked after by his younger brothers? How many favors has our branch of the family received from the second branch over the years? How could he not think of their interests now?
So, let him be the bad guy. If Grandpa and third brother and his wife want to scold someone, let them scold him. Anyway, he is not afraid; he has done nothing wrong.
