Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Burden
"Second brother, want to go for a walk?"
As they walked to the middle of the courtyard, Yuan Laidi suddenly nudged her second brother and gave him a look, indicating that she wanted him to go out and chat.
"Let’s go, take a walk!"
Yuan Wangdi caught Yuan Laidi’s look and immediately nodded.
Regarding Yuan Yindi’s marriage proposal, for their family, it’s truly an opportunity to rise up like a phoenix. But after undergoing military training for more than half a year, they have deeply understood one thing: the more you want to gain, the more you definitely have to pay.
The pair of brothers left the courtyard, leisurely strolling around the village.
At first glance, it seemed the brothers were checking out the village, but in fact, they were discussing Yuan Yindi’s marriage all the way.
Ruan Wan’s background is both a good thing and not a good thing.
For one thing, a woman like Ruan Wan is surely being watched by many, and those watching her are definitely not ordinary people.
Yuan Yindi marrying Ruan Wan is bound to attract jealousy and hostility from many.
By then, their entire family might be targeted.
Of course, these targets will definitely stay within the limits of the rules.
After all, those people can’t be fools; when causing trouble for them, they’d also have to consider the counterattack from their future sister-in-law.
"Third brother, your worries aren’t much actually."
After hearing Yuan Laidi’s analysis, Yuan Wangdi thought for a bit and felt these concerns weren’t significant.
"With us both in the army, backed by the Wei Family and protected by Little General Wei, generally people wouldn’t dare to target us, since few could withstand Little General Wei’s anger."
"But you’re right; we still need to be more cautious."
To be honest, Yuan Wangdi truly wasn’t afraid of trouble.
In the army, although there are factions, as long as your combat skills are strong, you can gain recognition from those around you.
Currently in the Daxia army, it’s really about surviving on one’s abilities.
If someone plays tricks and schemes against fellow soldiers, even a whiff of it leaking out means they can forget about any trust in the army.
After all, no one wants to become the next potential person to be betrayed.
"Second brother, I’m not worried about us, I’m worried about the others in our family!"
"Especially about that kid Shougui!"
Yuan Laidi whispered, "Once the news of the Fifth Brother proposing to Miss Sheng spreads, many will surely start investigating our family, and Shougui’s little feelings for that Miss Sheng won’t escape notice!"
"If anything happens to Shougui because of this, sister-in-law won’t let it go, and even big brother..."
Yuan Laidi didn’t finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear enough.
Once something happens to Yuan Shougui, even if their big brother shows no reaction on the surface, he definitely won’t be comfortable inside.
By then, there would inevitably be a rift between the brothers.
"Third brother, do you have any good ideas?"
Yuan Wangdi truly wasn’t good at thinking. For ordinary matters he could manage, but once it got complicated, it really became difficult for him.
"Second brother, I wonder if we could have Little General Wei keep Shougui around him, even as a little errand soldier!"
"Third brother, you really dare to think!"
Yuan Wangdi was speechless.
Wei Shifeng does treat the two brothers well, but there are quite a few people Wei Shifeng recognizes in the army.
The most important thing is, those serving beside Wei Shifeng are people the Renwei Family has brought up from a young age, all capable of helping Wei Shifeng solve problems.
To be frank, there’s no dead weight around Wei Shifeng.
What skill do the two of them have to let Wei Shifeng keep a dead weight nearby?
"Second brother, my idea doesn’t work, then why don’t you think of one?"
