Shen Huai Sang was even less likely to accept it. "Third Brother doesn't want it either. The books you gave Third Brother are more important than anything."
The whole family declared they didn't need her money, but how could Shen Yao possibly agree?
"I don't care, from now on, the agritainment business will all go to Eldest Brother, and then every year, each of us siblings and parents will get a share of the dividends. The rest will all belong to Eldest Brother."
"Third Brother is in the army and can't help the family much, so he'll only get a small dividend from the family's assets. Don't be so quick to refuse. The agritainment business was converted from Dad's guesthouse. In the future, Dad will live with Eldest Brother, so giving the agritainment business to Eldest Brother is perfectly fine.
"Besides, Dad doesn't seem to like managing the agritainment business very much. So I plan to let Dad manage the family's greenhouses. I'll just take the dividends. As for the barren mountains at home..."
Shen Yao paused. "Let's call Second Brother back to help."
Shen Yao's sudden change of topic successfully diverted the Shen family's attention.
"That's a good idea. Second Brother has been away for two years, and he hasn't even come back to visit." When Song Qiu Wan mentioned her second son, she couldn't help but worry.
Originally, Second Brother Shen Huai Jin had started a farm at home. Later, due to the avian flu, the chickens and ducks he raised all died. Even though it was discovered early, it couldn't be controlled, resulting in a significant financial loss. He then decided to go out and learn more about raising livestock.
The family didn't stop him. Instead, they gave him a sum of money and told him to learn well and not worry about the family.
"Call him and ask," Shen Jun said, and then took out his phone to make the call.
However, the call went to voicemail, which made the Shen family feel a bit strange.
In fact, Shen Yao had been back for almost two months, but Second Brother hadn't called home. He only sent occasional messages on WeChat to report his safety.
But even those safety reports hadn't been sent for about a month. Now that she thought about it, something felt off.
"Come to think of it, Second Brother hasn't sent any messages in a long time. I wonder what he's busy with," Shen Huai Min said.
As soon as he said that, everyone's heart skipped a beat. If he hadn't sent messages for so long, could something have happened to him!
"Where does Second Brother work? Let's see if he calls back later. If not, I'll go find him!" Shen Huai Sang said.
"Okay."
They waited until past 11 PM.
At this hour, the Shen family should have already been asleep, but not a single person had gone to bed, except for the little chubby one.
"Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling..."
The sudden ringing of a mobile phone made the Shen family members look at their phones. Seeing the caller ID as "Second Brother," everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The phone was on speaker. "Hello, Dad."
Shen Huai Jin's voice came from the phone.
"Hey, why haven't you called home in so long? And you didn't answer when we called."
Shen Jun couldn't help but scold him. Heaven knows how he had endured the past few hours.
"Sorry, Dad. I've been too busy during this period and haven't had time to call you all. Cough!"
"As long as you're okay, you still need to call home no matter how busy you are, understand? Your little sister needs to talk to you. I'll hand the phone over to her."
After saying that, Shen Jun handed the phone to Shen Yao. Shen Yao took the phone and said, "Second Brother."
"Little sister, I'm sorry. I haven't sent you any messages, making you worry. Dad said you have something to tell me, what is it?"
Second Brother's tone was always so gentle.
"Yes, I have something to tell you. What have you been doing out there now?"
"Just, just working. What else could I be doing?"
Shen Yao, however, heard the hesitation in Shen Huai Jin's voice. "Then do you want to come back and help me? The family is almost overwhelmed with work, and I have to run around even though I'm pregnant."
Shen Huai Jin wanted to say something, but he caught the words in her sentence. "You're pregnant? When did you get married!"
Shen Huai Jin couldn't believe it. His little sister had just graduated from college and he hadn't heard of her having a boyfriend at school. How could she suddenly be pregnant?
"Oh, we'll talk about this when you get back. Just tell me, do you want to come back and help me?" Shen Yao seized the opportunity and made herself sound as miserable as possible.
She spoke of climbing mountains and working in the fields every day, which made Shen Huai Jin's heart tremble.
"I'll come back, I'll come back. I'll buy a ticket to come back tomorrow," Shen Huai Jin said.
"No need to buy it. I've already bought it for you. Just remember to pick up the ticket at the airport tomorrow."
Shen Yao's speed was not slow at all. She took out her phone and booked a return ticket for Shen Huai Jin.
Shen Huai Jin was currently in City H. It only took two hours to get there by plane.
She had long noticed that something was wrong with her Second Brother's voice, as if he were a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness!
While the rest of the family might not have noticed, she was not an ordinary person, so how could she not hear the difference?
That's why Shen Yao rushed to book a flight ticket for Shen Huai Jin. If he was really sick, he should come back and recuperate!
Knowing that Shen Huai Jin was fine, the others finally went back to their rooms with peace of mind, falling asleep almost instantly, as there was still a tough battle to be fought the next day.
The second day was much better than the first. Since many people had booked several days at the agritainment, not many people checked out, and not many checked in. Moreover, with the experience of the previous day, everyone was more efficient in their work.
The kitchen was still the only place that was busy. If they hadn't refused the breakfast offer, guests would have still wanted them to make breakfast, saying they would pay extra.
However, making breakfast was too troublesome, so Shen Yao refused without hesitation.
The Shen family had a simple breakfast at home and then went about their own tasks.
Shen Yao planned to accompany the children who were on a graduation trip to the mountains today.
When the "Pig Trotter" heard that Shen Yao was taking people out, he also came to join the fun.
After finishing his livestream yesterday, Pig Trotter had followed Shen Yao's V-station account and had completely become Shen Yao's fan.
As a result, when Shen Yao led them up the mountain, she was followed by more than twenty people, including Shen Yao's fans and Pig Trotter's fans.
When Shen Yao agreed to Pig Trotter, she was thinking that one sheep was the same as many, but she didn't expect there to be over twenty!
Therefore, Shen Yao's goal for this mountain trip changed. She decided to take them to the undeveloped barren mountains!
Although they were not developed, paths had been cleared for convenience, so it was still possible for people to walk.
Since it was June, there were quite a few wild fruits on the mountain. Shen Yao decided to take them to find wild fruits.
For example, raspberries and wild strawberries could be found every few steps.
For these people who lived in the city, this was an incredibly novel experience.
