The eldest son regretted it so much that his mother saw it. He quickly thought of a suitable excuse and was anxious to get out.

"What can I do with a hoe? I'll definitely go work in the fields. Lao Er has been very busy these days, so I want to go and help him."

The old lady looked incredulous. When did her eldest son become so considerate of others? Could it be that he changed his character due to some stimulation?

Yes, the recent series of events have overwhelmed him and he has also been injured. Some changes are normal, as long as he doesn't go out and cause trouble.

Although he is already the father of two children, he still has to be disciplined and not do anything out of line, as the family has no money to support him.

"Okay, I'll trust you this time. You'd better go to work in the fields and don't fight with others."

It turned out that my mother thought I was going to carry a hoe and go out to fight with others. No wonder. If I had seen this kind of thing, I would definitely stop it. It was all a misunderstanding.

"I know, mother. You should take a good rest and don't worry. Getting well soon is better than anything else."

The old lady snorted and looked away from the eldest brother.

"I also want to stop caring about everything and rest my body, but you guys don't give me this opportunity. All day long, I'm either fighting or being provoked to tears. I don't have the fate of enjoying a peaceful life."

The eldest son felt that his mother was really nagging. It was indeed because she had been lying on the kang for too long. He had to find someone to chat with her and relieve her boredom.

If I continue like this, I might end up gossiping with a bunch of old ladies at the village entrance about other people's private affairs before I'm fully recovered, and I might even get leg pain on cloudy and rainy days. It's not worth it.

"Mom, wait for me to tell them to be quiet recently, and you can rest assured and take care of him. I'm leaving first."

I have to remind my second brother not to let anything slip, because mom is so suspicious that she will definitely ask questions.

But the second brother is not a good person either. If he is asked to agree to help him cheat the old lady, who knows what kind of demands he will make.

Forget it, let’s not worry about it for now. Let’s go to the third brother’s place and get the tools back. We must sleep in a room with a door tonight.

After a while, the third brother, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, heard his eldest brother calling him from outside the yard, "Third brother, I got the things, give me the tools."

He actually brought the things, it seems that this matter is quite urgent.

He slowly opened the gate for the eldest brother, took the hoe that he was so familiar with, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Take the tool. Use it carefully."

Without waiting for the owner to hand the things over, he stepped forward and grabbed the two things in his hands, as if he was afraid that they would not be given to him.

"Okay, I'll take it and give it back to you later."

Without waiting for the third brother to reply, the eldest brother took his tools and ran out of the yard in two steps.

Although I have mortgaged them and I am not worried that he will not pay me back, I still feel a little regretful. Those two tools are very handy and I would be sad if they were broken.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't be so conflicted. I was really reluctant to lend the money to that big brother who didn't respect his subordinates. But forget it, I've already lent it, there's no point in saying more.

The eldest brother wanted to go home directly, but suddenly he remembered that he had not yet told his second brother. He must not forget such an important matter, otherwise what would happen if the secret was exposed?

He turned in another direction and walked towards the field. As expected, his second brother was already on his way back. He saw his figure from afar and waved to him.

The second brother was wondering why his elder brother was looking for him instead of just cutting down trees.

Even though I saw him, I was too lazy to walk faster. I was already very tired from working, so I just walked forward slowly.

The eldest brother really felt that he was a little slow, so he stepped forward to greet him, "Second brother, I want to discuss something with you."

It's quite interesting that my brother is so polite today and is willing to discuss something. Let me hear what's going on.

The eldest brother raised the tool in his hand and said, "Look, this is what I borrowed from my third brother, but he insisted on asking for something as collateral, otherwise he wouldn't lend it to me. I gave him the hoe from home."

The second brother thought this was quite normal. Although the third brother was kind-hearted, he still had to be on guard and not be careless. If he had a mortgage, he would not have agreed to this.

Just send it over. He even came all the way to tell me about this. There must be something fishy about it. I didn't respond and waited for Big Brother's next words.

"My mother found me when I was leaving the house. She asked me what I was doing with the hoe. I couldn't think of a good answer, so I just said I was going to help in the fields."

"If mom asks, you can help speak up."

So that's how it is. It's not a big deal, but I can't agree to it easily. It's not easy for my brother to ask me for help, so I have to ask for something good.

I wanted to just ask for the door, but if I told him now, I wouldn’t know when the door would be made, and it would most likely be shoddy.

He raised his eyelids and came up with a pretty good idea, "Brother, I can help you with this."

Before the second brother could continue speaking, he was interrupted by the eldest brother.

The eldest brother was very excited. He quickly shut him up before he could make any other requests, and praised him so much that he forgot everything else. "I knew that the second brother is better than the third brother..."

As expected, they are brothers and think in similar ways. When I heard my elder brother say this, I knew he was afraid that I would make some requests and he really knew me very well.

Although I really want to hear how he praises himself, it’s better to hear something practical.

He put his arm around the boss's shoulders and said, "Brother, there's no need to say these empty words. It's no problem for me to help you. I just want you to promise me one thing."

The eldest brother pricked up his ears, became alert, and his body tensed up for a moment. He thought that his second brother wouldn't want the newly made door. If so, he might as well tell mother the truth.

When the second brother saw his eldest brother like this, he thought that he might have guessed it. So what if he guessed it, as long as he didn't admit it, it didn't matter.

"Brother, my request is not excessive. There is no need to be so nervous."

I placed both hands on the boss's stiff shoulders and pressed down. Finally, he was not as nervous as before.

"Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me now."

The boss was a little impatient and was just wasting time.

The second brother is not in a hurry at all, because he is not the one who is missing.

The eldest brother was eager to know and asked again, "What's the matter?"

The second brother tapped his temple with his fingers a few times and frowned, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it. How about you promise me first, big brother?"

When the eldest brother heard this, he thought that his second brother might be out of his mind as he couldn't even think of this. So he decided to just agree to it first. It wouldn't be a big deal anyway.

"Okay, I promise you."

The second brother covered his face with his hands and smiled slyly. The eldest brother fell into the trap so easily, or he must have been deceived too few times.

"Okay, it's a deal. If she asks, I'll say I'm working with you."
