Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After breakfast, Gu Zi scooped up Su Le, setting off for the city with her mother and sister-in-law.

Su Shen, having dropped the boys off at school, returned to the pig farm. By this time, everyone had loaded the day’s pork shipment onto the truck and sent it off to the city.

This was a time of leisure for everyone. They liked to gather in the hall, some indulging in a smoke, others enjoying a second breakfast or sipping on a little wine.

Today was a bit different, however. Everyone was gathered around a particular spot, creating a ruckus. As Su Shen approached, he heard them teasing Jin Long.

“Jin Long, you’re eating enough for the whole family. Why are you hoarding so many pigeons?”

“You’re such a big, tall guy. Why do you need to supplement your diet? You’re not secretly in love, are you?”

“Oh, watch out! You’re going to burn yourself out! Wait, have you already done so and are now trying to recover? Impressive!”

Amidst the laughter and banter, someone spotted Su Shen and greeted him,

“Brother Shen is here.”

Su Shen nodded in acknowledgment and made his way to a disgruntled-looking Jin Long.

Seeing Su Shen, Jin Long felt a sense of relief wash over him. The pigeons weren’t his idea, after all; Su Shen had asked him to buy them.

He planned to finish his work at the pig farm before delivering the pigeons to Gu Zi. So, he had temporarily housed them in the pig farm’s hall. Now, everyone was accusing him of secret love affairs and overexerting himself.

What nonsense! Did he need to supplement his diet?

He wasn’t Su Shen, who, despite being newly married, had to rely on pigeons for nourishment. What a waste of his good physique! Jin Long had once admired Su Shen’s sculpted abs, but now they seemed to be of no use.

Of course, Su Shen didn’t hear Jin Long’s inner monologue.

Without another word, Su Shen turned and walked away, leaving a stunned Jin Long behind.

Jin Long was flabbergasted. Couldn’t Su Shen explain that he had asked him to buy the pigeons? Was he supposed to take the blame for Su Shen’s shortcomings?

Damn it! He had never realized Su Shen could be so devious. With Su Shen proving unreliable, Jin Long knew he had to defend himself.

Angrily, he addressed the crowd, ‘Watch your damn mouths. I’m not in love, and I certainly haven’t overdone anything. What’s wrong with raising pigeons?

I don’t have time for this.”

Watching Jin Long storm off, the crowd chuckled knowingly. He was getting riled up.

Someone muttered under their breath, “He’s supplementing his diet even though he’s not overdoing anything. No wonder Jin Long, at his age, still doesn’t have a woman. He must be…”

Hearing the words “not right,” Jin Long was fuming. These people were truly infuriating!

Could it be possible that he hadn’t found a woman because he hadn’t met the right one? Frustrated, he quickened his pace to the office, pushing the door open with a bang.

“Brother Su Shen! Maybe you should go to the hospital? All these pigeons can’t seem to help your condition, and you’re still asking me to buy more.”

Su Shen looked up at him coldly, not angry, and explained, “The pigeons aren’t for me. The last time I asked you to buy pigeons, it was for a gift. The leftovers were for Gu Zi to raise. I thought I’d buy some more for her. When will you deliver them?”

Jin Long watched as Su Shen calmly explained, thinking he was making excuses. His previously shattered morale was suddenly restored.

Well, Su Shen wasn’t having it easy either. He had grown up in a poor family, lacking proper nutrition. It was understandable if his “tool” wasn’t very strong or enduring. Now he was even making excuses to cover it up. He had a strong sense of pride. As a brother, what was wrong with taking the blame for him?

Upon further thought, Jin Long felt a sense of broad-mindedness. He stepped forward, patting Su Shen’s shoulder comfortingly, “I understand, I get it all. I’ll deliver them to your house later. You need to take good care of yourself, or my taking the blame for you would be in vain.”

He couldn’t perform and was blaming it on Gu Zi wanting to raise pigeons. Gu Zi was an intellectual; why would she want to raise pigeons? Jin Long found his boss, Su Shen, to be quite amusing.

Su Shen silently removed Jin Long’s hand. Since Jin Long didn’t believe him, Su Shen didn’t bother to explain further.

Su Shen didn’t want to tell others that the pigeons were for Gu Zi to eat, that Gu Zi needed nourishment. This was his wife’s privacy, and others had no right to know.

Just as Jin Long was about to say something, Su Shen spoke first in a stern voice, “How about we discuss you taking over the truck deliveries?”
