Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Jun and Xu Jie did not know how to reply. Before they came here, their father had even told them not to mention this matter if Old Madame had not asked them.

Unexpectedly, although the Old Madame did not mention it, in the future, the two brothers would mention it for Xu Shiqiu.

Since they had already decided to follow Xu Shiqiu and do things for them, they couldn't lie to him from the very beginning.

He only wanted them to speak the truth, but he was unable to say it out loud.

Seeing the reaction of the two brothers, Old Madame Xu sighed and was about to speak, when suddenly, Xu Jie spoke first: ”There are a few brothers from my uncles who also want to come with us.

However, their families were often concerned about them, and their families were not something that their fathers could decide alone. Thus, there was some delay.

When we arrived, some of them said that they would bring their young families to join us after they had collected the grain and handed it over for the summer. ”

What Xu Jie said was indeed the truth, but Old Madame Xu did not have much hope in getting back at him.

She had always understood the principle of leaving home to cool tea. Moreover, her husband had already died nine years ago.

If those people didn't come, she couldn't blame them.

Thinking up to here, the Old Madame Xu looked down at Xu Jun and Xu Jie, and said: ”With you brothers here, it's already very good. Furthermore, we don't need that many people around us in the beginning. ” After saying that, the Old Madame Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu who was below him.

Xu Shiqiu reacted very quickly. After receiving Old Madame Xu's hint, he immediately looked towards Xu Jun and Xu Jie and said, ”It is indeed so. Although I already have many plans, they are not done overnight. They need to be completed slowly. ”

After saying that, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie who were deep in thought after hearing his words. He thought for a moment and continued: Furthermore, Second Brother and Third Brother all have nephew at home, so I can train them with just a few small matters.

Xu Shiqiu knew that it was hard to buy people's hearts, so as long as the brothers in Uncle Xu's family truly wanted to help him, he would naturally treat them sincerely.

As for the heirs of their families, he would naturally look after them to promote them. If there was a suitable heirloom, he would naturally arrange for a future for them.

Thinking about it here, Xu Shiqiu then looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie and said, ”It just so happens that in a few days, my wife's Cousin will be coming to learn how to read and settle debts.

Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie who had just finished saying these words. Xu Jun, who had an eldest daughter, looked at Xu Shiqiu in shock and asked, ”Can my Sis Li also learn to read and settle debts?”

Xu Jun's tone carried a bit of excitement and expectation, and for a moment, Xu Shiqiu didn't know who Xu Jun meant by ”Li Mei”. It was only until Xu Jie helped explain to Li Mei that Xu Shiqiu finally nodded with certainty.

Originally, my wife's cousin followed me to study. After I find an old teacher these days, he will teach you for half a day and I will come to teach for another half a day.

”The old mister wasn't willing to teach a girl, but I was. Furthermore, my wife has always been learning from me.”

Xu Shiqiu explained himself clearly. He did not promise to persuade the old man to teach the girl, but said he would.

And it was precisely because of this that Xu Jun and Xu Jie both believed that he was speaking the truth at this moment.

Seeing that they were actually discussing about studying and settling debts, Dong Shu hurriedly reached out and tugged on Xu Shiqiu's sleeves, and then said softly: ”Husband, brothers have worked hard this entire journey, we should have let them rest first.”

Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu who had just finished speaking and was about to continue speaking, but was immediately stunned. Then she looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie with a ashamed look on her face: ”Blame me, I was chatting happily with my two brothers and forgot that my two brothers had just arrived, and have not had the time to wash up and rest yet.”

After saying that, Xu Shiqiu saw Xu Jun and Xu Jie hurriedly shake their heads at him, and then continued to speak: ”I will order the servants to lead the two brothers to wash up and rest, and we will drink and chat later tonight.”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Jun and Xu Jie could only suppress their excitement and obey his arrangements.

Furthermore, they really did need to wash up and rest, so when Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, they immediately bowed and took their leave for the Old Madame Xu, then followed Cui Hua who was leading the way towards Hearing Phoenix Academy.

After Xu Jun and Xu Jie left, Old Madame Xu kept her smile, looked down at Xu Shiqiu and said: ”Although only your second uncle Xu's brothers have come, but their family has many males, in the future you will have many helpers.”

Hearing his mother's words of consoling himself, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly looked towards the Old Madame Xu and said, ”Mother, you don't have to worry. I know very well whether the people who have come to help me are good or not.”

When Xu Shiqiu saw that Old Madame Xu had just finished speaking, he sighed and said, ”Your big brother and second brother both have helpers, but you do not. Now that you're already in your twenties and only starting to work, mom is afraid that when Mom closes her eyes, she won't be able to explain it to your dad. ”

Old Madame Xu was indeed young, and based on her estimation, three years of life should not be a problem for her, but she was afraid that three years later, Xu Shiqiu had yet to strive for victory.
