At the mention of those jobs in his backyard, Gong Yu became worried, he looked at the little sister beside his eldest brother, and shook his head at Gong Jian.

Gong Jian understood what his second brother meant, he didn't want the work in the backyard to fall on his young sister. He would rather give up the opportunity to go to school than have his family sacrifice for him.

Seeing his younger siblings caring for each other, Gong Jian was very happy. He patted Gong Yu on the shoulder and hurriedly comforted him.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone else to do the work in your backyard. You can just go to school with peace of mind. ”

Gong Yu and Gong Yue both looked at their eldest brother suspiciously, listening to Gong Jian's meaning, those tasks at home would not fall on the two brothers and sisters. But there are only five people in the family, the father is bedridden, and the mother has to take care of the housework, is the eldest brother going to take care of all these jobs?

As soon as the two of them thought of this, they hurriedly opened their mouths to stop them. But without waiting for the two of them to speak, Gong Jian continued unhurriedly: "Didn't you also say that our family's reputation in the village is not very good now." There are always some gossips and bad things about our family. ”

Gong Yue and Gong Yu didn't know why the eldest brother had turned back to the previous topic, but they still nodded truthfully.

After the people in Chenjia Village learned that Gong Jian was hunting in the back mountains and sold the prey to the town to make money, many people followed suit and went to the back mountains to hunt together. But I don't know if it's because they don't have the ability to hunt, or because there are too many people who go to the back mountains, disturbing the prey, in short, those people's harvest is far less than their family.

After a long time, naturally some people will be jealous. This is the origin of the rumors about their family in the beginning.

Some people say that Gong Jian has been hunting in the back mountains for a long time, but he has been avoiding everyone. I want to eat alone. The back mountain is obviously owned by everyone in the village, but Gong Jian wants to be alone. Since then, Gong Jian's traps on the mountains and the prey they caught will always be stolen by others, and the traps will often be destroyed by others.

It is also said that Gong Jian bought a special bait in the town. With that kind of bait, those wild animals will run after him, and no one else will see the prey at all. Together with this rumor, the people who went to Gong Jian's house to inquire about the news almost broke through the courtyard door of their house at once. Some people even came to the door to ask for it, no matter how they denied it, it confirmed Gong Jian's reputation for selfishness.

So later, Gong Jian rarely went to the back mountains to hunt. In fact, there are too many people in the village. Many people are staring at Gong Jian and the others, once they go to the back mountain, there will always be some people following them, or simply come up to talk, and want to go into the mountain with them. This made Gong Jian and them really annoyed.

Later, due to the hares raised by Miyaha in the backyard, they multiplied quickly. Gong Jian doesn't need to go to the back mountains to hunt at all. Anyway, these animals raised at home can fully meet the daily expenses of the family, and there is still a surplus, and the family slowly has some savings.

At that time, because Gong Jian no longer went to the back mountains to hunt. The previous rumors have slowly faded away.

And because Gong Jian doesn't hide his secrets. He also took the initiative to teach several young hunters how to hunt and set traps. After the people in the village saw that Gong Jian no longer went to the back mountain, through the propaganda of those young hunters, their family's reputation gradually improved.

As we later learned, they only relied on the rabbits and chickens raised in the backyard, and they didn't need to go out hunting anymore. But it's the same hare, but except for Gong Jian and their family, no one else has been able to feed it. Although this made those who wanted to follow the trend of breeding rabbits dissatisfied, it did not make much waves.

This time, rumors about Gong Jian's family are flying all over the sky again. Mainly because in the past six months, everyone has seen the life of Gong Jian's family getting better and better.

His family has long since lost the skinny and skinny before, but now they are all well-proportioned, ruddy complexion, and dressed more generously and decently.

Not to mention his house, the smell of meat can be heard every day. is so greedy that the family living near his house always cries and wails when it comes to eating.

Coupled with Uncle Gong Jian, she has been persistent in discrediting his family. That's why people in the village have a lot of opinions about his family.

Gong Jian saw his younger brothers and sisters nodding yes, so he patiently explained to them: "Recently, the reason why the people in the village have such a big opinion of our family is mainly because our family's current living standard is much better than others. ”

Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters were listening carefully to what he was saying, with a thoughtful look on his face, Gong Jian continued.

"Then if we let them too, improve their lives and reduce the gap between our family and the people in the village. Those people won't talk so badly anymore. And if they want to rely on us to improve their lives, then if someone says bad things about our family in the future, they will oppose it as soon as possible. Look, isn't that the truth?"

Gong Yue's eyes lit up suddenly: "Yes, what the eldest brother said is right." If they become richer, they won't be blushing at our family anymore. Now I just eat some meat at home, and I can't go out. There are always some children guarding our door, and I am sad to watch. ”

But then she hesitated a little: "How can we make them rich? ”

Thinking of this, Gong Yue pursed her mouth again, she didn't want to give her money to those snobs. She still remembers that when her family was poor, they didn't lend a hand to help, and now that her family is rich, they have to say sour things behind their backs.

Gong Yue raised her head and looked at Gong Jian eagerly: "Big brother, don't sell Guanzi, tell me quickly, what are you going to do." ”

Gong Jian doted on his little sister's forehead: "You little guy, you're really impatient." Of course, I don't want to give our family's money to others casually. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at his younger brother who was also eagerly staring, and then said unhurriedly: "Look, there is a lot of work in our family now. After the second brother, I plan to let him go to a private school to study, little sister, I hope you can make more friends and play freely. Daddy, I can't bear them even more, I'm too tired. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, Gong Yu and Gong Yue's eyes softened, and the eldest brother's care for him, they all knew it in their hearts. At the same time, in his heart, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his eldest brother, he took everyone in the family into account, but never considered his own needs.
