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

Yu Shui and Sha Zhu have already brought back the food as instructed by their eldest brother He Weiguo.

Sha Zhu was carrying a lot of bags, and his body was full of them.

Yu Shui was more relaxed, carrying a small bucket of oil in one hand - he was going to the grain station today and picked up the oil as well.

Yu Shui looked at her second brother carrying such a heavy load, and her face was filled with worry:

"Brother, how about... bring one bag down and let me help you carry some? You're so tired carrying so much!"

Sha Zhu's neck stiffened, beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, but he remained very stern:

"Yushui, what are you talking about? Second brother, with your physique, what's the point of carrying such a small thing?"

"You're so thin, how can I let you carry me? Walk aside!"

Although he was tired, his sister's concern made him feel warm in his heart.

After hearing this, Yushui felt warm in his heart.

In fact, her feelings for her second brother are no less than those for her eldest brother.

Over the years, although her second brother was often confused and caused her to suffer a lot of grievances, from childhood to adulthood, whenever her second brother had some money in his pocket or got something delicious, he would always give it to her first.

The second brother changed, it seemed that it started after Qin Huairu married into the Jia family, and the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai always kept telling him that neighbors should help each other and people should not be too selfish.

Gradually, the second brother's thoughts were no longer entirely on her.

She was indeed a little disappointed with her second brother in the past, but now that her eldest brother is back and her second brother is slowly getting better, Yu Shui feels that good days are just ahead for their family!

As soon as the brother and sister stepped into the gate of the courtyard, they ran into the third uncle Yan Bugui who was fiddling with his pots of precious flowers.

Out of politeness, the rain still greeted him: "Uncle, are you watering the flowers?"

Yan Bugui raised his head upon hearing the sound, and immediately saw the pile of grain bags on Sha Zhu's back. His eyes lit up instantly:

"Hey! Zhuzi, Yushui! Are you... back from collecting food?"

Yu Shui nodded: "Yes, Third Uncle."

How smart is Yan Bugui?

How poisonous are your eyes?

He guessed at a glance that the food Sha Zhu received today was much more than usual!

Usually, Sha Zhu only took the ration for him and Yu Shui, which was about 60 kilograms at most. This time... it looked like it was nearly 100 kilograms!

Almost half more!

Unable to suppress his curiosity, he took a step closer, pointed at the grain bag and asked:

"Zhu Zi, why does the food today seem so much more than usual? A lot more weight, right?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu straightened his back even more and felt very proud:

"Third Uncle, you have a good eye! It's just too much!"

"My eldest brother's share has been taken back! Let me tell you, my eldest brother's is the largest in our family!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he subconsciously curled his lips, his face full of disbelief:

"What? Your eldest brother? He... isn't he still unemployed? Where did he get the quota? And the most?"

In his opinion, He Weiguo is just a veteran waiting for assignment at home.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he became unhappy and his face darkened:

"Hey! Third Uncle! What you said is really unpleasant to hear!"

"Who told you that my eldest brother doesn't have a job?"

"Let me tell you, my eldest brother is now a driver at a legitimate food factory! A top official! With a loud steering wheel!"

"Much better than me! I only make thirty yuan a month, and my brother makes seventy-four! He also makes more than me!"

Sha Zhu spoke with saliva flying, with a sense of pride.

Yan Bugui was so shocked that he almost dropped the small spray bottle in his hand, suspecting that he had misheard:

"You...are you serious?"

When Sha Zhu saw his expression, he became even more excited:

"Hey! Uncle Three! What's with that expression on your face?"

"You are looking down on others, aren't you?"

"Who is my brother? He's been a big shot in our area since he was little!"

"After ten years of fighting, how can we be worse than before?"

"If you ask me, my brother was this one from our yard when he was little," he shook his thumb vigorously.

"Growing up, in our generation, that's also what it is!"

He gestured with his thumb vigorously again, and the meaning was clear - his status as the eldest brother was top-notch!

The rain also joined in quietly but firmly:

"Uncle, my second brother didn't lie. My eldest brother is really a driver at the food factory. He's quite capable."

In the past, with Yu Shui's timid nature, she would not dare to talk back to anything Yan Bugui said.

But now that her elder brother is back, she feels that she has to learn to be tougher, especially when she hears others questioning her elder brother.

The brother and sister spoke in unison, their words very confidently.

Yan Bugui's face instantly became like an eggplant hit by frost - wilted.

Why?

He feels sad!

So envious!

The three He siblings lived in the best main house in the compound, and now two workers suddenly appeared! It was a typical dual-income family!

Then he looks at his own family. He is the only teacher there, earning a meager salary, and he has to budget carefully to support his wife and four children!

The eldest brother, Yan Jiecheng, has grown up, but he still has no job and is queuing up in the street office for assignment. Compared with He Weiguo, who just got a golden rice bowl with a steering wheel...

Ugh!

Yan Bugui was so envious that his eyes almost turned red!

What made him even more upset was that Yu Shui was a good student and had two earning brothers to support her, so it would be easy for her to go to high school.

In a few years, I will graduate from high school and be assigned a job...Okay!

That’s a family of three employees!

And the He family's situation is even more special - the three siblings have not yet married, and their father He Daqing ran away with a widow, so there are only three people in the family!

A family of three and three workers?

My goodness!

How comfortable will the days be from now on?

The more Yan Bugui thought about it, the more upset he felt, as if a huge rock was blocking his heart. He even lost the mood to water the flowers.

It’s really hard to compare people to death, and you have to throw away goods when comparing goods!

Seeing Yan Bugui's distraught look, Sha Zhu and Yu Shui didn't delay any longer. They carried their own rations and walked straight to the central courtyard.

As soon as I entered the moon gate of the central courtyard, I ran into Jia Dongxu who had been waiting for a long time!

The Jia family has never lacked sentries. Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu are always keeping an eye on Sha Zhu's movements.

Having calculated that they would collect food today and knowing that He Weiguo had left early in the morning, Jia Dongxu felt that this was a godsend opportunity!

The most important thing is that Sha Zhu promised him the day before yesterday that he would give him ten kilograms of food as an emergency aid after receiving it this month!

As soon as he saw the brother and sister, Jia Dongxu immediately put on a smile and greeted them:

"Zhuzi! Are you back? You've worked so hard!"

He eagerly glanced at the grain bag on Shazhu's shoulder:

"Well... we agreed on this the day before yesterday! Zhuzi, you promised me personally that when you get your food back this month, you'd give me ten pounds for emergencies!"

"Brother, my family is really struggling! When we men speak, we mean what we say, right?"

When Jia Dongxu mentioned this, Sha Zhu's face suddenly became embarrassed.

This is indeed true. On the way home from get off work the day before yesterday, he couldn't resist Jia Dongxu's nagging and agreed on a whim.

But now...

My eldest brother has issued a strict order: not a single grain of food can be lost! Especially not to the Jia family!

Sha Zhu is a man who cares a lot about his reputation and is most afraid of being accused of being untrustworthy.

But Jia Dongxu's self-righteous attitude made him feel very uncomfortable.

Thinking about his brother's belt again... Sha Zhu couldn't help but shudder.

Which is more important, face or butt?

Sha Zhu's mind was quickly calculating.

He forced a faint smile on his face, dumped the grain bag on the ground, and took a breath:

"Brother Dongxu, I'm sorry about this... this."

"I promised you before, but...but the situation has changed!"

"My eldest brother is back, he...he's very strict!"

"If this food runs out, he'll come back and beat me to death with his belt!"

Chapter 41 How cruel is my brother when he beats people?

Although Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu did not go into the yard, they both peeked through the cracks in their windows and kept a close eye on what was happening outside.

Seeing Sha Zhu refuse, Jia Zhang was immediately furious and started slamming the windowsill and cursing:
