Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Brothers Heart-to-Heart
The way Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li interact now is a bit strange.
In the past, their relationship was quite harmonious.
One could have said it was like honey and oil blending smoothly.
But now, it’s very awkward.
Yuan Zhaodi suddenly became very manly, while Mrs. Xiao Li instantly turned into a resentful young wife, feeling restricted in whatever she did or said.
Yuan Yindi wasn’t aware that the relationship between his fourth elder brother and sister-in-law was off, and upon coming out from the main room, he went straight to Yuan Zhaodi.
"Fourth Brother, what’s up with you?"
As soon as he entered, seeing his fourth brother’s unusual expression, Yuan Yindi paused slightly, then asked with concern.
Regarding Yuan Bao being transferred under his name, Yuan Yindi didn’t think this would change their brotherly bond significantly.
Thus, Yuan Yindi was sure that his fourth brother’s cold face was not aimed at him.
In this regard, Yuan Yindi was mysteriously confident.
"Nothing much!"
Yuan Zhaodi glanced at Yuan Yindi and waved his hand casually, "Xiao Wu, you came, is there something you need?"
After having his daughter transferred under Yuan Yindi’s name, Yuan Zhaodi felt quite awkward facing his brother again.
Although Yuan Yindi didn’t see it as a problem, Yuan Zhaodi felt uncomfortable inside.
"Fourth Brother, are you treating me as an outsider?"
"Or do you think that because Jiaojiao was transferred under my name, we’ve become enemies?"
Yuan Yindi sat across from Yuan Zhaodi, speaking frankly.
"Xiao Wu, listen to what you’re saying, is your fourth brother that kind of person?"
Facing a brother who didn’t see him as an outsider, what could Yuan Zhaodi do? Could he really say, "I do see you as an outsider, and we are indeed enemies?"
"Fourth Brother, you know, don’t you, you’re very different from before now!"
Yuan Yindi looked seriously at Yuan Zhaodi, "Before, Fourth Brother, you were so high-spirited, managing things at the dock, generous and responsible!"
"But now?"
"Fourth Brother, what happened to you?"
Yuan Yindi truly said whatever was on his mind.
"Xiao Wu, your brother, I have a hard time inside!"
Prompted by Yuan Yindi’s emotions, Yuan Zhaodi’s inner grievances suddenly burst out.
"Your fourth brother, I, have no big ambitions, just wanted a warm family with a wife and kids, everyone happy together."
"But, you see!"
"I don’t even know why life has turned out like this!"
Yuan Zhaodi truly didn’t understand why a good life became like this, how did he, who used to have both a son and a daughter, come to the point of having to transfer his daughter to his brother.
Yuan Yindi looked at his fourth brother, whose tears were about to fall, sighed, and said: "Fourth Brother, how about I help you find a job in the city?"
"Like before, get you a managing position!"
"Xiao Wu, it’s useless!"
Yuan Zhaodi directly rejected Yuan Yindi’s suggestion.
Although he said he didn’t know how his life turned this way, he actually had some guesses in his heart.
In the past, when he was a manager outside, he hardly took care of family matters; all trivialities were far away from him. Moreover, their parents handled the household matters, sheltering them from the storm.
But now, they had split the family!
He himself is now the head of the family, the pillar of this small home.
He could certainly become a manager, but doing so would only be avoiding the problems he should face.
Avoiding them temporarily doesn’t mean they can be avoided forever.
"Xiao Wu, be sure to treat Jiaojiao well!"
"If, if one day you get married and your wife doesn’t like Jiaojiao, just, send her back!"
