Chapter 340 No If

"Mother, what are you thinking about? Why have you been looking so gloomy lately?"

"I'm wondering where your father is now? Is he still being harassed by those vampires? And what about that monkey you rescued before?"

"Father must have hidden somewhere where no one can find him, right? The best thing is that we have no news of him now, isn't it?"

"Hmm! But there's one thing I really don't understand. If he was going to run away alone, why did he bring that monkey with him?"

"Isn't this just creating a burden for yourselves? I really don't know what your father was thinking?"

"Maybe it's because my brother-in-law wanted to use that little monkey to disguise himself? He could pretend to be a street monkey trainer so he wouldn't be easily recognized."

At this moment, Mu Long, who was sitting next to them, spoke.

"If you ask me, Father should have listened to me and disbanded Hei Rentang! But he wouldn't listen, and now look what's happened! He's brought trouble upon himself!"

"If Father had taken my advice back then, he would be here with us now, drinking tea and chatting."

"Alright! Let's not bring up the past anymore, okay? The most important thing right now is what we should do?"

"Now I can't even stand up! What can I do? All I want is to lie down and not think about anything."

"Brother Yang, haven't you ever thought that one day you might make a comeback? Are you really willing to live such a mediocre life?"

"Heh! Make a comeback? Don't you think what you're saying is a bit of a pipe dream? Do you know how much effort I put into building that prosperous Longsheng Street?"

"Besides, we're not the wealthy young masters of the Yang family anymore! Now, even surviving is a huge problem, so how can we have the mind to think about making a comeback?"

Upon hearing Mu Long's words, Mu Wang couldn't help but smile slightly at him. Seeing this, Mu Long felt a chill run down his spine.

"I haven't done anything to upset my elder brother lately, have I? But why did he smile at me like that?"

"Or is it that my elder brother remembered something good, which is why he gave me that inexplicable smile?"

"Brother Long'er, I have a very good suggestion for you. I wonder if you would consider it? I think this suggestion is our only way out, but I don't know if you can do it."

"Elder brother, look at your lewd smile! You're not thinking of some trick to trick me again, are you? Let me tell you, I'm your own brother!"

"Besides, our mother is standing right in front of us. Do you want her to witness us brothers killing each other?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Wang couldn't help but raise his hand and slap Mu Long's head hard.

"What on earth are you thinking about all day long? Do I look like the kind of person who would do something like killing one's own brother? Or is it because I've been too good to you lately?"

As he spoke, Mu Wang rubbed his hands together, making a gesture as if he was about to beat up Mu Long.

"A friendly reminder! Brother, I'm disabled now! You should think twice before you lecture me!"

"Alright! Mu'er, stop bullying your little brother! Didn't you just say there's a good way out for us? Why don't you tell us about it?"

"Hehe! That means becoming a peasant like before I returned to the Yang family. This is our best way out right now, but I don't know if you can endure this hardship, little brother."

After a moment's thought, Mu Long asked, "What is a peasant? Why have I never heard of this term before?"

"Haha! Mu Long, you can't be that stupid, can you? 'Mudsick' means going to farm, right? I have to say, your elder brother's idea is really cunning!"

"Elder brother, are you just being ridiculous? That's why you're making fun of me! How could I possibly go to the fields to do farm work when I'm in a wheelchair?"

"Besides, I've always lived a life of luxury! I really can't endure the hardship of doing farm work in the fields that you're talking about!"

"But little brother, if we don't become peasants, what will we eat? Let me tell you, our family has absolutely no surplus grain."

“We haven’t heard from our father for months! From now on, the burden of life will fall on the shoulders of my brother and me.”

When Mu Long heard this, he couldn't help but frown. In his heart, he naturally wanted to work with his elder brother to support the family.

But how can I help my elder brother support the family when I can't even stand up for myself?

Thinking about this, Mu Long felt like he had become a useless piece of trash who only knew how to eat, drink, and relieve himself! It was already good enough that he didn't cause trouble for his elder brother and mother!

I really don't dare to ask for anything more. Perhaps the reason I've become like this is entirely my own doing?

"Hey! Mu Long, why are you suddenly so down? Didn't you tell me before that you were invincible?"

"Alright! Mu'er, I know what you just said was meant to reignite Long'er's fighting spirit! But what we need to do now is give him more time."

"But Mother, I'm really afraid that Long'er will become depressed and unable to pull himself out of it! Actually, this is all my fault for not protecting my little brother properly!"

"That's why I suffered such a severe blow! If I had known, I should have accompanied you to the Guanyin Temple that day. Perhaps this terrible thing wouldn't have happened?"

"No! Nephew, please don't blame yourself so much! In the end, it's all my fault. I was too weak and incompetent back then."

"If I hadn't chosen to leave Xia Di for my own personal freedom, perhaps none of this would have happened? Xia Rong would be alright too!"

After Yu Ying finished speaking, Xia Rong, who had been curled up in the corner, suddenly pounced on Yu Ying. Yu Ying was startled! Tuan Rong, who had been nestled in her arms, was also so frightened that she jumped to the floor.

After Xia Rong threw herself into Yu Ying's arms, she hugged Yu Ying tightly with both hands, as if Yu Ying would disappear in front of her at any moment.

Yu Ying was stunned for a second when faced with this sudden hug, and then she tightly embraced Xia Rong in her arms.

"Waaah! Mother, why don't you want Nuannuan anymore? Is it because Nuannuan is naughty?"
