Bab 154: Chapter 153 Uncle

Upon hearing that the Fourth had arrived, Qi Younian felt such joy that he almost lost coherence in his speech.

The old man chuckled and said, "Your Fourth Uncle is the most capable among us brothers, far more so than your grandfather. Now that he's here, we won't have to worry about our living situation; our house will be built in no time."

"Oh, that's quite impressive!" Ye Xinyan exaggerated with respect to flatter the old man, but inwardly she doubted it. If all Grandfather's brothers were as he described, each more capable than him, who would respect a grandfather without skills as the primary official?

Though Qi Younian talked, he didn't slow his pace, rushing as if he had been rejuvenated by twenty years, hurrying home while still chatting with Ye Xinyan, "It's been so many years since we've seen each other, I don't know how your Fourth Uncle has been, or if he still practices his old trade."
