Jealous Brother

Looking at his sister's shining eyes when she looks at Mu Yuchen, the man wished to strangle her.

Just what's wrong with her? She's a lady of their Meng family, and while they can't be said to be the biggest nobles of all of them, in Shenyang their power is still good.

After all, their father is still a noble person with the rank of a Count. While he himself didn't want to follow his father's steps into the political world, and prefered to live more freely, his elder brother on the other hand has run into the military very early on in his life.

Thanks to that, his position is pretty close to the current general, and in a city like Shenyang where the army has much to say, their Meng family is really high when it comes to their rank of power.

But just why is his sister so crooked? What's so good about the way some people look?

He's there as well. She should just look at him, it's not like he is ugly, right? He can still understand that his sister Meng Jie would ignore him during the time his older brother comes back home from the army.

True, he might not be as muscular as his older brother, but aren't most ladies these days after the scholar type? Just why is his little sister still ignoring him?

And this guy in front of him, just a little muscular, what's so good about him? He must for sure be here to steal away his sister!

And it's totally not that he wants her attention and is jealous, surely not!

Meng Jian looked at Mu Yuchen with a slight sneer, "So you're selling the chestnuts?"

Mu Yuchen looked at the pair of brother and sister and something flashed in his eyes. Especially so, when he looked at Meng Jian's face. "Yes, I do sell chestnuts. Do you want to buy some?"

Anyway, he still needs to quickly sell off his products and go back to his lady. He can ignore the contempt that Meng Jian has shown for him this time.

Meng Jie looked at Mu Yuchen and smiled happily. "Handsome uncle, my father really liked your chestnuts, I want to get some more for him!"

Meng Jian looked at his sister's happy face and sighed. Where would his father care for some snacks? Sure, he tasted some as well and they aren't half bad, but they are just chestnuts for god's sake!

The only reason why his father would show so much attention towards the chestnuts was that they were bought by his little daughter. Hell, his family is too biased towards her…

But Meng Jie couldn't know their thoughts. She was still thinking that the handsome uncle in front of her was a great person, selling things that even her noble father can praise!

Meng Jie looked at Mu Yuchen and thought about his chestnuts. After a moment, she had an idea. "Handsome uncle, I want a 100 buckets of our chestnuts today!"

When Meng Jian heard his sister, he almost fell down. A hundred? What is she going to do with them, it wouldn't be that she expects them to eat chestnuts every day for the next month, would it?

"Are you sure, little girl?" Mu Yuchen asked with a slight smile. If this sale is done, wouldn't he finish today's task? Thinking of going back home and spending time with Liu Xiaolan, the smile on his face was getting bigger.

Meng Jie was about to happily agree with him, but her brother quickly stopped her from speaking. "Sister, are you sure you want to buy 100 buckets? Why do we need so much chestnuts? It's better to just buy a single bucket"

Mu Yuchen looked at Meng Jian with a dark face. What is this idiot doing, preventing him from selling his lady's chestnuts. He can ignore the issue of disrespect once, but how dare he prevent him from going back home earlier?

Meng Jie looked at her brother and wasn't happy. With tears in her eyes, she said, "But I want to buy more for everyone… Dad even said yesterday that they taste so good that he could eat them every day from now on, so how could a single bucket be enough?"

Meng Jian almost wanted to curse his own father. Even if you love Meng Jie, you don't need to lie to her in this way, right? Eating chestnuts every day, is he crazy? Knowing his own old man, if he could stick to the same dish for 2 days in a row he would be unhappy, much less eating some cheap snacks all over again…

"Even if father said that, wouldn't he want to eat fresh chestnuts? There's no point buying so much at once, it's better to just buy a single bucket and come back again another time…" Meng Jian said with a slight smile, hoping to dupe his own sister.

But how could Mu Yuchen allow him to stop his business? "Little girl, there's nothing wrong with buying a lot at once, chestnuts are easy to keep and won't get spoiled too soon. You can buy 100 buckets and it will be fine…"

Meng Jian looked at the guy selling chestnuts and almost wanted to beat him up. Who are you lying to, what normal person normally would buy so much chestnuts at once?

Well, in the end he still didn't rush up to Mu Yuchen, since he looks much more muscular than himself and it would probably end badly for himself.

Meng Jian looked at his little sister and still tried to make her give up. "But sister, we can always come back later and buy again, why do we need to buy so much at once?"

Unfortunately for him, his little sister felt that he was trying to cheat her again. It wouldn't be the first time when her bad brother would say bad words about other handsome uncles and try to keep her away from them.
