Yuan Zhao Di heaved a sigh of relief after Old Yuan strolled around to look for a suitable tree.

If his father kept wandering around, he felt he would be dead exhausted on the mountain today.

“Phew… Big brother, I’m going to rest for a while!” Yuan Zhao Di dropped the ax in his hand and looked at the prominent blisters on his palm. He thought to himself that he was leading a miserable life.

“You got a blister?”

Yuan Pan Di was amused when he saw Yuan Zhao Di looking at his hand. He smiled proudly and said, “Fourth brother, I’m not trying to criticize you, but you need to train your body!”

“Big brother, are you serious?” Yuan Zhao Di rolled his eyes.

“You think I’m wrong?” Yuan Pan Di replied and glanced at Yuan Zhao Di before continuing, “Fourth brother, I don’t like to use my brain, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have one. You’re a manager at the dock now, but can you support your family with the little money you earn?”

“With father and mother around, we brothers will not split. If father and mother are not around, we will have to split sooner or later. If you continue to hang around like this, you’ll become a young master who can’t lift your hands or carry your weight.”

“Then, here comes the question. Are you a young master?”

Yuan Zhao Di was a little dumbfounded when he heard his big brother’s long string of words.

Before this, he had never thought that his big brother could see so far into the future.

Yuan Zhao Di was silent and suddenly understood why his father didn’t like him.

In his father’s eyes, what happened yesterday was probably something he had seen regularly from him.

He couldn’t just rely on his parents for everything. He was a father now. Although he had not separated from his family, he should take responsibility.

“Big brother, thank you!” Yuan Zhao Di thought it through and understood.

Who was not a man? Wasn’t it just to establish a family?

He, Yuan Zhao Di, was a man!

Looking at the blisters on his hands, Yuan Zhao Di directly found a thorn on a tree and burst it.

A man should be ruthless to himself.

It didn’t hurt when the water bubble burst, but when he held the ax again, the burning pain almost made him grimace. However, Yuan Zhao Di managed to hold on.

Although the speed of cutting trees was still not fast enough, Yuan Zhao Di’s improvement was noticeable.

“Fourth brother, you’re a tough one!” Yuan Pan Di’s heart was touched when he saw his brother’s move.

Back then, he had been taught by his father’s beating, but even with his beating, he had spent a long time changing himself. He then looked at his little fourth brother. Yuan Zhao Di was a good guy, kind at heart; he deserved to have a daughter!

When Yuan Zhao Di heard his brother’s praise, he chuckled and said, “Big brother, do you think we should change our names since our Yuan family has a daughter?”

“Stop!” Yuan Pan Di glared at Yuan Zhao Di, “It’s time to tell you about this! Our Yuan family has a bad life!”

Yuan Zhao Di immediately told him how the fortune-teller had said that the Yuan family’s fate was incomplete.”This matter will only be known to the men of the Yuan family when they have a child.

“Big Brother, then, have we changed our fate?”

When he heard that none of the Yuan family’s men had lived past sixty, Yuan Zhao Di could not remain calm because his father was already fifty-one years old!

“I don’t know!” Yuan Pan Di laughed bitterly, “That expert said that our Yuan family might be able to break this fate if we have a girl.”

“So, we have to take it slow. If our Father can live past 60…”

“Big brother, our father will definitely live past 60 years old!” Yuan Zhao Di interrupted his brother.
