He remembered... his eldest brother was a very honest person...
His father had realized this quite early, so when he named him Chen Ye, it was with the intention of having his eldest brother take care of and maintain the family business. Even though their household was relatively well-off at the time, it wasn't possible to send two children to school. Thus, according to the old family rules, one child would stay to work, and the other would study.
So from a very young age, his older brother was destined to sacrifice himself for the sake of his younger sibling.
Over the years, his elder brother had never expressed any grievances; even after they lost their farmland and he became a dock laborer without a foundation of his own in Lyuzhou, he never complained. Every time Chen Qing returned home, his brother would look at him with a simple, honest smile: "You're back, little brother? Why have you lost weight again?"
