Married at First Sight Chapter 5156
They all had to borrow money from their older brothers to make ends meet.
Zhan Yue looked at his younger brother for a long time, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Ninth Brother, I understand that you’re eager to prove yourself. I’ve had the same thoughts before.”
He sighed, “What can we do when our older brothers are all so outstanding?”
Moreover, his older brothers entered society earlier than them, and when they started doing business, the market wasn’t as difficult as it is now.
“That’s right, my brothers are so outstanding. I feel so much pressure. People always think I’m the youngest in the family, and everyone dotes on me and spoils me. Even if I do nothing, I have more money than I can spend.”
“Nobody knows how much pressure I feel. Everything I do is easily compared to my brothers. It was like that when I was in school; many of the teachers who taught me were also my brothers.”
“If my grades were even slightly lower, people would bring it up, saying, ‘My brothers are so outstanding, how come I’m so stupid?’ That made me study so hard. Luckily, I have some talent for studying, and my grades have always been excellent.”
“I’ve always followed in my brothers’ footsteps, attending the same schools they attended, so no one said I was inferior to them, and I didn’t disgrace the Zhan family.”
Zhan Yue laughed, “I understand, I understand. Maybe, except for the eldest brother, all of us have had the same feelings as you.”
The eldest brother has no one to compare himself to; he can only be a role model for his younger brothers.
If the eldest brother is exceptionally outstanding, the younger brothers really have to try and catch up, and they might not even be able to.
“My company is having financial difficulties right now, and I don’t dare let anyone know. I’m afraid people will laugh at me and think I’m not as good as my brothers, and that I’ll bring shame to the Zhan family.”
“Third brother, please keep this a secret for me. Don’t tell anyone.”
“I’m confident that I can turn things around in three months. I’ll be extra careful with future investments and won’t act impulsively again,”
Zhan Yue said. “You’re afraid to admit your mistakes? Afraid of being scolded by your brothers? Afraid of being laughed at?”
“Letting others laugh at you will teach you a lesson, so you won’t be so reckless again.”
“…Okay, Third Brother, say what you want. I’ll prepare myself mentally. If my brothers scold me, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it. Anyway, with my sisters-in-law around, my brothers won’t dare to scold me too much.”
“Life isn’t always good. There will always be bad times. No one’s life is always smooth sailing. My company hasn’t gone out of business; it’s just having some cash flow problems.”
Zhan Yan quickly came to terms with it. Being scolded by his brothers was a good thing. He’d been living too comfortably and needed his brothers to give him a break.
“You really think your third brother is a gossip, spreading rumors about your misfortunes everywhere?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. But if those older brothers find out, don’t blame me. They’re incredibly powerful, much more so than me. They can’t even hide my affairs from them, let alone protect you.”
“That’s right, I don’t blame you, third brother. I’m incredibly grateful that you lent me money to tide me over. I’ve already experienced their incredible abilities.” ”
Third brother, let’s not talk about that anymore. Come, have some tea.”
“I don’t want tea. Go make me a cup of coffee, and then you go back and do your best to turn things around.”
Zhan Yan readily agreed and immediately went to make coffee for his third brother.
