Chapter 714 - 080 Brotherly Rift_3
"Big cousin, how could you..."
Before Lin Yuan could finish, Liu Zhiguang almost roared, "Liu Zhiyang, just for a few taels of silver, you ruined your own brother’s future, don’t you think that’s too cruel? Are we even a family anymore?"
"Heh." Liu Zhiyang sneered, raising his hand to wipe a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, "Blood-related brothers should settle accounts clearly. Tit for tat is fair play."
"Good, ’blood-related brothers should settle accounts clearly,’ good!" Liu Zhiguang laughed at himself in derision, his eyes full of bloodshot, perhaps never having imagined that he would be treated this way by his own little brother. He pulled a purse from his bosom and hurled it towards Liu Zhiyang’s face, "Here, take it all! Take it and spend your days with the silver!"
The purse hit Liu Zhiyang’s face, but he didn’t even dodge. When it fell to the ground, he didn’t bend over to pick it up.

Liu Zhiguang clasped his head with both hands, howling with all his might, and had they not been at the entrance of the yard, far from the north room, his shouting might have attracted everyone in the house.
Liu Zhiyang, however, acted as if he had heard the most absurd joke, sneering derisively, "Understand? Support? Big brother, don’t you think it’s hypocritical to say such things? You repeatedly say you like martial arts, that you want to enlist and perform military service to serve the country, but what have you done? Our parents disagree and you don’t even dare to say ’no’; either you want me to speak for you, or you want cousin to do it. Bro, don’t you think you’re too idle? I see, you’re nowhere near as committed to martial arts or to achieving anything significant as you pretend. All talk and no action! I advise you to abandon this notion and either study diligently at the academy or help father farm back home!"
"Second cousin, how can you talk about big cousin like that, he..."
