I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Chapter 181 The Difficulties of Cooperation

So don't bring this up in front of me again! Besides, haven't we, as brothers, handed over most of the money we've earned over the years to our parents, keeping only a small portion for ourselves?

Haha, are you trying to tell me that what's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours, so we shouldn't be so clear about dividing our interests?

Yes, yes! Elder brother, that's exactly what I wanted to say to you. I imagine you heard of some very close brothers who partnered up to open a restaurant. Business was booming at first, and the two brothers made a lot of money. But their good fortune didn't last long! One day, these two brothers got into a fight over who should take the lion's share.

I heard about this incident back then! Ever since it happened, the business of the two brothers' shop has been declining day by day. Not only is business dismal, but the two brothers also frequently argue over trivial matters.

Meow! Meow! Meow! The adorable little hibiscus saw that her father hadn't made her milk, so she raised her little head and meowed at Mu Long.

Uncle, didn't Xiao Furong seem very afraid of you on the way back? Why is the little one clinging to you now?

Haha! You don't even need to ask! It's probably because your uncle gave the little guy something fun again. That's why the little guy is clinging to his uncle again!

Hmm! Elder brother, do you think our little hibiscus is a bit too clever for its own good? As long as you give it a little something nice, it will forget all the bad things you did to it!

Do you think that White Wolf has the same personality as Little Hibiscus? Mu Long, do you remember when you sent White Wolf to Xiawei, you whipped him hard with a short whip that day?

Haha! Elder brother, we were having a nice chat, why did you bring up the matter of me whipping the white wolf with a short whip again? Could it be that you're thinking about it again?

Hmm! I'm really worried that after it escapes from the hotel, it will wreak havoc on the crops of ordinary people!

As Zhuzhu scooped the taro, which had cooled down in the cold water, out of the water and quickly peeled it, she asked her father a question.

Didn't you tell me before, Father, that we were going to bring White Wolf back from the Shenglong Hotel? Why is it still at the Shenglong Hotel now?

Zhuzhu, don't you know? That White Wolf bit your father's wrist! The situation was very urgent, so your father hit White Wolf very hard. White Wolf then ran away from Shenglong's restaurant and hasn't come back yet! Nobody knows where it's off gallivanting off to.

Longzhen, who was concentrating on peeling the taro, immediately threw the taro back into the water when she heard that Muwang's wrist had been bitten by the white wolf.

Then she took off the apron around her waist and wiped all the water droplets off her hands. She quickly went to Mu Wang's side and examined his hands carefully. After confirming that her husband's wrists had no injuries, Longzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Haha! My eldest brother isn't seriously injured, sister-in-law! Why are you so worried?

I've told you so many times! Why did you listen to me when I told you not to raise white wolves? It's because white wolves are usually very docile.

But who knows, one day it might suddenly become aggressive and bite someone! Just like a month ago, a wolf cub bit our little daughter's hand in the middle of the night. If it weren't for Zhuzhu pouring that magical medicine on Jianying's hand in time...

We still don't know when Jianying's little hand will heal! Let's put it another way: if the white wolf had bitten someone else, we wouldn't just have to pay them a lot of money, we might even...

Eldest sister-in-law, aren't you exaggerating a bit too much? You've spent a day or two with Xue'er, so you should know that Xue'er is a wolf full of intelligence.

Longzhen simply pursed her lips, opened the lid of the back pot, and picked up the water ladle beside her. She dipped the ladle into the pot, scooped up some hot water, and then poured the hot water into Xiao Furong's small milk bottle.

Thank you, elder sister-in-law! Please don't take what I said to heart if it was a little too helpful. We have a deep affection for that white wolf; after all, we've raised it for over ten years.

You have no idea that if it weren't for the white wolf by our mother's side, she probably would have...

Standing to the side, Mu Wang heard that his younger brother still didn't realize he had brought up something he shouldn't have. He couldn't help but glare at Mu Long.

Mu Long then realized his mistake and wanted to say something to make up for it, but he didn't know what to say.

So he subconsciously rubbed his nose gently with the back of his hand. Mu Wang couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Mu Long's action.

Long'er, have you ever heard the proverb in Jiang Le that says, "You sit on a golden stool while I sit on a cow dung cake"?

Yes, yes! Of course I know that proverb, elder brother! Next is "I eat the meat, you drink the soup." This proverb means that people from Jiangle are generally humble, always giving most of the benefits to others when cooperating, while only taking a small portion for themselves.

Hearing that Mu Long had firmly memorized the knowledge he had taught him, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction at Mu Long.

Elder brother, you said that if the two brothers who run the shop together keep this proverb firmly in mind and apply it well to their lives, wouldn't their shop, which they run together, become more and more prosperous?

Yes, yes! That's inevitable! But these two brothers didn't understand this. I heard from others that they often argued and fought each other late at night. This news spread like wildfire, and soon the whole village knew about it.

Ah! Didn't you say that the two brothers only argued late at night when everyone was quiet? Why did this story spread so quickly?

Haha! Uncle, have you been thinking about how to make Longsheng even bigger lately? Is that why your mind is a little foggy?

No! Zhuzhu, why did you suddenly ask me this question? And Zhuzhu, don't you think it's a little disrespectful to me, your uncle, to ask me these two questions?
