Siheyuan: Why does your brother beat you up every day, Shazhu?

He really wished he had a big brother like this! He never expected that Sha Zhu would end up like this!

It’s totally unreasonable!

……

Sha Zhu trotted into the middle courtyard and saw two brand new Fei Ge bicycles parked in front of his house!

The shiny handlebars reflected the light in the setting sun, which made him very happy!

"Brother! Big brother! I'm back!"

He shouted at the top of his voice and excitedly carried his lunch box into the house.

He Weiguo was sitting in the house, with Yu Shui beside him.

Sha Zhu suppressed the urge to look at the bicycle, put the lunch box on the table, and opened the lid like he was presenting a treasure:

"Brother! Rain! Come and eat! I brought some extra food! It's still warm!"

He grinned, as if waiting for his elder brother's praise.

However, He Weiguo didn't even raise his eyelids, but his hand habitually touched the belt buckle around his waist.

"Crack!"

The familiar sound of the metal buckle loosening was like a basin of ice water being poured over Shazhu's hot forehead!

"Big...brother?"

The smile on Sha Zhu's face froze instantly, and he took a step back reflexively, his voice changing tone:

"What's going on? I didn't do anything today. I even brought my lunch box back! I didn't do anything wrong! Why are you hitting me again?"

He Weiguo slowly pulled out the belt and weighed it in his hand:

"What did I tell you before I left this morning?"

"Ok?"

"I told you to go take a bath in the factory bathhouse! Come back after I've cleaned up your messy hair!"

"You think I'm talking nonsense, don't you? Look at you! You're like a fool! Don't you have any memory?"

Sha Zhu suddenly remembered!

Damn it! I was so busy being happy and bringing my lunch box that I completely forgot about the "top priority" that my big brother told me to do!

He looked at his still greasy hair and oil-stained work clothes, and cold sweat broke out on his face.

"Brother! Brother! Don't! Don't do it!"

Sha Zhu was so panicked that he kept waving his hands and making incoherent excuses:

"I...I was just worried that you were hungry! I wanted to bring the food back quickly!"

"I just...I just forgot!"

"Isn't there no food at home? Brother! Look, I even thought about bringing food back! If you hit me again... you are too heartless, right?"

"Conscience?" He Weiguo sneered, flicked his wrist, and the belt slapped the ground with a crisp sound, which scared Sha Zhu so much that he shuddered.

"How dare you talk about conscience with me? Why is there not a single grain of rice in the house? Don't you have any idea what's going on?"

"If it weren't for you, a spendthrift, taking our food rations and pretending to be rich and kind, would our family be so poor that even rats would move away?"

"Now you're pretending to be nice to me? I think you're just itching to be picked on again! You deserve a beating!"

Before he finished speaking, the belt in He Weiguo's hand was already flying up with the sound of wind!

Sha Zhu was scared to death!

I still remember the taste of the fried pork with belt yesterday!

How dare he resist?

Shouted:

"Brother! I'm going right now! Go and clean it up right now!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed out of the door like a frightened rabbit, without looking back, running out of the yard, shouting as he ran:

"Brother! Wait for me! I'll be back after I shower and get my hair cut! I promise it'll be clean!"

He Weiguo looked at Sha Zhu's fleeing back, snorted, and didn't chase him.

He weighed the belt in his hand and looked at the two steaming lunch boxes on the table.

Well... although he hasn't changed from being sloppy and asking for a beating, at least he knew to bring food home today and he knew not to let his sister go hungry.

This guy is still a bit humane.

"My merits and demerits offset each other, so I'll spare you this time today!"

He Weiguo cursed under his breath and tied the belt back around his waist.

Chapter 34: Rainwater to Manage Grain

Sha Zhu rushed out of the house in a panic as if he was being chased by a wolf. His embarrassed look of running away with his head in his hands was caught by Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao who had just entered the middle courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu both kept silent tacitly, one with a complicated look in his eyes and the other with a gloating sneer on his lips.

Xu Damao couldn't hold it back any longer, and he immediately started to add fuel to the fire:

"Hey! Silly Zhu! Why are you running? Weren't you lying sideways just now?"

"Didn't you say you were more than capable of dealing with me? What's the matter? Did your good brother deal with you again?"

He drew out his words, smiling sarcastically:

"I think you're a walnut—you deserve to be hit! With your brain, I don't think you can escape being beaten every day!"

Xu Damao's words actually expressed the thoughts of many people in the hospital.

For most residents, the conflicts between them and Sha Zhu were at most minor frictions between neighbors, and had not reached the level of deep calculations like those of Qin Huairu's family.

They were not afraid of He Weiguo. Instead, they thought it was quite satisfying and interesting to see this lawless Sha Zhu being beaten to a pulp by his brother every day.

Compound No. 95 is a deep house with four courtyards, housing more than households and about a hundred people.

In addition to the familiar faces in the drama, there are more ordinary families like background boards, and it is common to see three generations of grandparents and grandchildren crowded in one house.

The He family is unique in the courtyard, with only three brothers and sisters left and no elders.

The scene of Sha Zhu's embarrassing escape immediately became the focus of news in the Intermediate Court.

Several old ladies who were mending shoe soles and picking vegetables gathered together, pointing and talking:

"Look at that idiot-like guy! He used to walk around the yard with all his might, fearless of anyone! Hey, it's only been two days since his big brother came back, and he's already gotten two beatings?"

"If you ask me, he deserves it! This brat is a scoundrel who deserves to be punished! In the past, even if the three uncles were tied together, they might not be able to subdue him during the whole hospital meeting! Now, as soon as his brother comes back, he is immediately subdued!"

"I've been watching Weiguo since he was little. He might be a bit naughty, but he's a decent guy. Shazhu deserves the same treatment from his brother!"

A young wife who had just moved in also chimed in:

"Wow! I just moved here and haven't seen this eldest brother of the He family before. What a guy! Look at how scared Sha Zhu is, like a mouse seeing a cat! I think this beating of Sha Zhu is just the beginning!"

……

In the He family room.

After working all afternoon, He Weiguo was really hungry.

He picked up the lunch box that Sha Zhu brought back, and felt a little curious. What would the chef from the steel mill bring to his family?

I opened the lunch box lid and wow! It’s really good!

Two big white flour buns, greasy fried pork slices, red-sauced braised pork, and a handful of green vegetables.

This kind of food is definitely top-notch these days!

The chef is a real talker, and his reputation is well-deserved.

He opened another lunch box and found the same thing inside.

Push one of the portions in front of Rainwater: "Rainwater, eat."

The rain shook his head:

"Brother, you eat first. I had a full lunch and I'm not hungry at all. I'll eat later."

After saying this, she stood up swiftly:

"Brother, wait a minute. I'll get you some chopsticks!" He trotted to the kitchen and brought back a pair of chopsticks.

He Weiguo just took the chopsticks when Yu Shui asked again:

"Brother, are you thirsty? Can I pour you a glass of water?"

He Weiguo felt warm in his heart and nodded:

"Okay, then I'll trouble the rain."

Yushui's face turned serious:

"Brother! What's the trouble? I'm your sister! Isn't it my duty to pour you a glass of water?"

After saying that, he hurried to pour water.

While the rain was pouring out the water, He Weiguo had an idea.

correct!

Didn’t I get a bag of White Rabbit milk candy through the flash sale system today?

It's just right to be placed in the space. If Yu Shui doesn't eat, it's good to give her some candy to sweeten her mouth.

He moved his mind slightly, and a handful of candies appeared in his hand, which he put into his trouser pocket.

When Yushui came back with the cup of water, He Weiguo took out a few candies from his pocket and handed them over:

"Rainwater, if you don't want to eat, I'll give you something good to sweeten your mouth."

"Big White Rabbit!" Yu Shui's eyes lit up instantly and she exclaimed in surprise!

These days, this kind of high-end candy with a rich milky flavor is definitely a rarity for ordinary children!
