Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Six Overprotective Older Brothers

Xu Shuhua carried Nuanbao home. As soon as she stepped into the main hall, she saw the six Yu brothers sitting in a row, each holding a dried fig, munching away with great enjoyment.

The moment Yu Wei saw Xu Shuhua return, he immediately stood up and handed over his half-eaten dried fig. “Grandma, give this to Nuanbao!”

Yu Nuannuan looked at the half-eaten dried fig. Not only did she not mind, she was actually delighted.

What was this?

Was this just an ordinary dried fig?

No, this was her eldest brother’s love for her!

But Yu Nuannuan didn’t take it. Instead, she flashed Yu Wei a sweet smile and called out in a clear voice, “Ge!” (Big brother!)

At that moment, Xu Shuhua and Yu Nuannuan were perfectly in sync.

Xu Shuhua patted Yu Wei’s little head. “Alright, you eat it yourself. Nuanbao just had one. It’s time for a proper meal now.”

Hearing Xu Shuhua’s words, Yu Wei nodded vigorously.

Actually, he wasn’t really listening to what Xu Shuhua was saying—he was already over the moon from hearing Nuanbao call him “Ge.”

Yu Nuannuan could only say a few words at this stage, and even then, she would only say them one at a time. Most importantly, she didn’t really like talking much. Usually, it would take the six brothers pestering her for ages before she would reluctantly call out to them.

But today, she had called him “Ge” all on her own! That was better than anything!

Yu Wei was overjoyed, but Yu Kai and the other brothers were a little upset.

Yu Kai had just stood up, and the others quickly followed. They ran over to Xu Shuhua, each holding up their own dried fig high, all clamoring for Yu Nuannuan to eat theirs.

Yu Nuannuan: “……”

She felt like she’d stirred up a hornet’s nest… no, a nest of big brothers!

“Ge!” (Big brother!)

Yu Nuannuan called out with a bright smile, each shout louder than the last, until all six brothers were beaming with happiness and finally let out a sigh of relief.

What can you do when you have six doting, overprotective older brothers all vying for your attention?

Of course, you let them spoil you!

The next morning, Yu Hai set off for the county town with half a basket of dried figs on his back.

He’d been to the county town quite a bit lately, but he’d never seen anyone selling dried figs before. He wasn’t sure if they would sell well.

But whether they would sell or not, he had to give it a try.

More importantly, Yu Hai had a gut feeling that these dried figs would definitely be a hit.

Yu Hai arrived in the county town in high spirits, and it was only just past seven in the morning.

It was still early, but there were already plenty of people on the streets—students heading to school, workers on their way to their jobs, elderly folks out shopping for groceries, and parents taking their kids out for a stroll in the cool morning air.

Yu Hai had barely set up when someone spotted him and walked over.

“Yu Hai, what good stuff have you brought today? You haven’t been here in ages!”

“That’s right! Since you stopped coming, we haven’t had any good fruit to eat!”

Yu Hai was used to chatting with these folks. He grinned and replied, “It’s not that I didn’t want to come—strawberries and ground cherries are out of season now. Even if I wanted to come, I had nothing to bring! But look, I’ve got some dried figs this time, so I hurried over! Would you like to try some, aunties and uncles? They’re delicious!”

Figs weren’t exactly rare around here—most people had eaten them before.

But—

“Everyone else sells fresh figs. Why are you doing something different?”

Yu Hai chuckled. “This is called taking a different path! Even though these are dried figs, they’re made from the freshest fruit! Don’t worry, everyone—give them a try!”"
