Chapter 284: Elder brother descends the mountain, faced with a mountain of bills

Then I can relax; your mother's health is poor, Dragon Blood Rice is very potent, and I as father worry it might harm her.

Chen Yuan knew his wife's health had been poor these years, always in recuperation.

Dragon Blood Rice works well, but it's very potent; whether his wife's body can withstand it must be clarified.

Chen Chuyang laughed: "Don't worry, leave it to mother; she knows what to do."

Okay.

Chen Yuan glanced and saw his wife's portion was double his own, instantly feeling a bit annoyed.

"Son, do you have any objections to me as father?"

"No."

"Then why is your mother's portion so much larger than mine?"

"Is there a problem?"

"It's a big problem—I'm your father; why are you treating me differently?"

Chen Chuyang gave his father a speechless glance; arguing with mother over this, you've really had enough.

He picked up the two portions of Dragon Blood Rice, mixed them together, and redistributed.

"Is this okay now?"

Chen Yuan, forehead black-lined: "Why is my portion even less now?"

"Isn't this how you distribute? The more you divide, the less my portion gets—are you doing this on purpose?"

"This is outrageous; this son is clearly targeting him."

"Father, why are you quibbling with mother?"

Chen Yuan stared at Chen Chuyang and said, "I'm arguing with you."

"You could clearly add a bit to make up the amount; why are you reducing mine instead?"

"This is clearly aimed at me."

"I can't swallow this anger; it's absolutely unacceptable."

Chen Chuyang felt helpless, only able to take a bit from his mother's portion.

"Is that okay now?"

Chen Yuan stared up in shock; this maneuver is way too slick.

"Shouldn't you be adding to it? Why take away a batch—doesn't that make it even less?"

His goal wasn't that; he wanted the son to give a bit more, and if the wife's portion increased, he wouldn't mind—he just wanted to take a bit from the son, but the son turned out to be a miser, even taking it back.

"Who gives something away then tries to take it back? This is… too shameless."

"You can't do that."

Chen Chuyang took another bit, several times; both portions decreased a lot, yet the wife's portion increased equally.

"Are you satisfied now, Father?"

Chen Yuan looked at the Dragon Blood Rice reduced by half; his own share hadn't increased, but decreased.

His wife's portion was the same.

Quite outrageous.

He was truly speechless, and also… displeased.

"I'm saying, kid, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

"No, I'm just doing what you, Father, said; why are you still dissatisfied?"

Chen Yuan: "……"

He had nothing to say.

He sat there dazed for a long, long time without uttering a word.

Really, he was truly speechless.

In this regard, the son had never disappointed him.

He was too shrewd, which was actually not good.

"I am your father."

"I know; if you weren't my father, none of this would exist."

"???"

Chen Yuan fell silent again; those words hurt a bit.

His heart felt a sharp pang, amused by this son.

It really made him angry, wanting to strike out, but he realized he couldn't match this son; he raised his hand, then slowly lowered it, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself.

"Huff huff huff."

"Give these to me; I'll distribute them myself, humph."

Chen Chuyang put the Dragon Blood Rice he'd taken out back in its original place, clapped his hands, and said, "If you'd done this earlier, it would've been fine; why insist on suffering?"

Chen Yuan: "……"

Again speechless, he stared blankly at his little son.

He had countless things to say inside, but in the end couldn't utter a word.

Elder Brother Chen Chusheng walked over, having seen this scene long ago; he didn't appear beforehand, but waited until the matter ended before strolling over slowly.

"Father."

Then he sat down, poured tea for father, for younger brother, and finally for himself.

Chen Yuan glanced at his eldest son, checked his cultivation, and nodded in satisfaction.

Nine Layers of Qi Transformation, just one step away from the True Gang Realm.

Strong body, abundant true qi, solid foundation—compared to before, it's heaven and earth apart.

"Not bad; you haven't been lazy during your stay at Longshe Shan—Father is very pleased."

Chen Chusheng laughed: "I dare not forget my father's teachings."

He also wanted to slack off, but he didn't dare!

The younger brother strikes far more ruthlessly than the father—he really beats him to death.

He doesn't want to trouble the younger brother to act, nor does he want to provoke the younger brother's anger.

This time Father went up the mountain; knowing he had to come down, he came in person.

After Shang Yue descended the mountain, he knew his time had come as well.

"Older brother has been diligent and hardworking lately; those spirit fields and spirit lands were all opened up by his own hands."

"The harvest of Dragon Tooth Rice and Dragon Blood Rice also includes his contribution."

Chen Chuyang praises the older brother without reservation, except for the initial period when he was disobedient; afterwards the older brother is very obedient.

Chen Chuyang is very pleased with the older brother in this regard; he needs no supervision and is quite self-disciplined.

To be honest, he can't bear to let the older brother leave; the mountain cannot do without him.

Free labor, and he also helps look after his younger brother-in-law.

"Father, I think the older brother would be better off staying at Longshe Shan to cultivate; it would benefit him."

Chen Chusheng, hearing this, panicked and blurted: "Second brother, you can't do this; Father needs me, the Chen Clan needs me—I've been on the mountain this long, it's time to come down."

"Older brother, thank you for your care these days; once he comes down the mountain, he will certainly do his utmost to find you more resources."

Gritting his teeth, he could only promise some benefits to the second brother.

His good second brother—don't bring up the topic of staying again.

Chen Chuyang nodded in satisfaction; the older brother has become sensible, grown up, no longer as reckless as before.

"Ahaha, older brother, you're thoughtful; here's a bill—if you think it's fine, just sign."

A thick bill was produced, resembling a book, detailing the spirit stone debt day by day; these bills are extremely detailed, leaving no room for denial.

Chen Chusheng took one look and felt like he would faint.

So much—by the end he saw he owed a lot of money, exceeding five figures.

"That much money?"

"Yes, older brother, don't worry—I can give you time to repay slowly."

The rarely generous Chen Chuyang smiled at the older brother and said, "Take it slow, don't rush—just remember to give the interest."

Chen Chusheng felt like he would faint; this step had truly arrived.

This younger brother is truly deadly—he actually recorded everything.

Every entry is correct; he doesn't want to sign.

His gaze turned to Chen Yuan.

"Don't look at me—I can't help you; you've grown up, handle your own affairs yourself."

Chen Yuan also saw that account item and was stunned.

He quickly waved his hands, distancing himself: "I have nothing to do with you."

Chen Chusheng, helpless, could only sign; to leave, he had to accept this account.

"Sigh."

After signing his name, Chen Chusheng let out a deep sigh, gazing resentfully at Chen Chuyang.

"Older brother also needn't worry; the younger brother isn't in a hurry to use it."

"……"

If you're capable, don't collect interest.
