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

He raised his head and looked at the hanging Shazhu with cold eyes:

"Zhu Zi, I didn't continue to beat you. I'm already saving your face."

"If you keep bargaining here, I'll come over and loosen up your muscles."

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing Sha Zhu's hope.

Sha Zhu was so scared that he immediately shut up and dared not make any sound.

Now that his ears were free, He Weiguo lowered his head and concentrated on processing the fish.

It took more than half an hour to clean up the three big fish and a basket of small crucian carp.

By the time he carried the basin back to the house, the rain had already cooked the meal.

The meal was simple: a bowl of thick cornmeal porridge and a plate of stir-fried green vegetables.

There is indeed no meat at home now, all the meat is on those fish.

However, for He Weiguo, a modern soul who had just arrived here, eating a light meal of whole grains occasionally had a special flavor.

Cornmeal porridge is not delicious, but it is acceptable.

He Weiguo greeted, "Yushui, sit down and have dinner."

Yu Shui nodded, picked up the bowl of porridge and took a sip, then looked out the window and asked cautiously:

"Big brother... do you want to put the second brother down? Let him have a bite too?"

He Weiguo shook his head without hesitation:

"Eat? Is he worthy of it? Don't even think about it."

"Don't even think about letting him go now. Even if we do, don't even think about having anything to eat for dinner tonight or the whole day tomorrow!"

"That bastard! Starve him for two days! See if he dares to send food to you again!"

Yu Shui was still worried: "Big brother... if you are so hungry, will your second brother get starved?"

"Rain," He Weiguo looked at his sister's frail body and thought of Sha Zhu's sturdy figure.

"Don't worry about it. He's the chef in the cafeteria, and he's always making a lot of money!"

"Look at him, he's as strong as a calf. He wouldn't die even if he starved for a week, let alone two days!"

"He deserves to drink cold water! I'm annoyed by the mention of him. Just eat your meal!"

Seeing her elder brother's resolute attitude, Yu Shui knew that it was useless to say anything more, so she swallowed her worries and nodded obediently:

"Got it, big brother."

The brother and sister finished their simple dinner in silence.

Yu Shui took the initiative to clean up the dishes and wash them.

He Weiguo lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and felt extremely refreshed.

It was already dark outside the window, and it was the time when people were returning home from get off work and school.

He could clearly hear the passers-by outside pointing and talking about the hanging Shazhu.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Let's keep that guy hanging for a while.

He Weiguo got up too early today and was dragged by Zhou Zhenbang to go fishing for the whole day. He was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting.

After he finished smoking, he lay down on the bed and planned to take a nap.

I slept soundly and soundly.

It was unknown how long it took before He Weiguo opened his eyes in a daze.

The lights in the room were still on. Under the dim light, Yu Shui was sitting at the table in his room. His small figure looked a little lonely.

He Weiguo sat up and rubbed his eyes:

"Rainwater, what time is it now?"

Yu Shui shook her head: "Brother, I don't know the exact time, but it must be after midnight."

He Weiguo then realized that he had overslept:

"It's so late? Why aren't you asleep yet? What are you sitting here for? You have to go to school tomorrow."

Yu Shui raised her head, her little face full of worry and grievance:

"Brother... I'm worried about you, but I don't dare wake you up. I don't know what to do, so I can only sit here."

Her voice was choked with sobs:

"I... I just sneaked out to check on my second brother. He... he couldn't even lift his head. His body was cold. Big brother... I was scared..."

In this little girl's world, the eldest brother is important, and the second brother is equally important.

Although her second brother was always confused and caused her a lot of suffering, she always remembered his kindness.

If it weren't for her second brother, she might have starved to death or been kidnapped.

She understood that everything her eldest brother did was right and was for the good of her second brother.

But her worry about her second brother made her unable to sleep, so she could only stay here, feeling conflicted.

He Weiguo felt a little sorry for his sister when he saw her aggrieved and even frightened look.

He completely understood Yu Shui's feelings.

In the little girl's world, her mother passed away shortly after she was born, and her eldest brother passed away when she was four years old.

When I was six or seven years old, my father He Daqing ran away again.

She was raised by her unreliable brother Sha Zhu since she was a child.

No matter how stupid Sha Zhu is, he is her only support over the years.

To be fair, although Shazhu made some mistakes, he still has a sense of responsibility, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to raise the rain to such a large amount.

In He Weiguo's opinion, the brother and sister each have their own problems, but it is gratifying that they have an understanding of family and support each other.

The deep-seated family bond cannot be faked.

He looked out the window at the dark night.

It's almost time to put Sha Zhu down.

Besides, this cheap bastard will have to be the chef for tomorrow's big fish feast.

He Weiguo stood up, his voice carrying a subtle hint of fatigue:

"Okay, stop crying! I'll go put him down right away."

After hearing what he said, Yu Shui's worries were greatly relieved.

Chapter 52 I’m not afraid of anyone except you, big brother!

He Weiguo pushed open the door and walked to the entrance of the Jia family.

Sha Zhu was already dying at this moment.

He was thirsty and hungry, and his whole body was in pain. His arms had become numb and stiff after being hung for so long.

He had never suffered so much in his life.

Seeing his elder brother's figure appear in the night, he was so excited that tears came to his eyes, and he pleaded hoarsely:

"Brother, I was wrong...really wrong. Please put me down...okay? I...I can't take it anymore."

Looking at Sha Zhu's embarrassed and pitiful appearance, He Weiguo felt angry and a little bit reluctant.

This idiot only cares about eating and not about being beaten!

He could only hope that today's brutal beating would be unforgettable.

He Weiguo didn't say anything. He reached out and neatly unfastened the belt buckle hanging on the door beam of the Jia family's house and put Sha Zhu down.

Because Sha Zhu had been supporting himself with his toes for a long time, he suddenly lost his strength, his legs went soft, and he fell forward, right into He Weiguo's arms.

He Weiguo used his arms to hold him steady and prevent him from falling to the ground, but he was merciless in his words:

"What's wrong? Aren't you usually so strong? Can't you fly? Now you can't even stand steadily?"

Sha Zhu is now in tears and relies entirely on He Weiguo to hold him up, his voice filled with tears:

"Brother, I know I was wrong, really wrong. Please forgive me, I really... I really can't take it anymore."

He Weiguo glared at him, then half-supported and half-carried him back to his house.

As soon as he entered the room, Sha Zhu saw the stool and felt like he had found a savior. He was so weak that he wanted to find a place to lie down. He begged weakly:

"Brother, put...put me down. I...I'll just sit on the stool and rest for a while."

He Weiguo stopped and looked at him sideways, his eyes a little strange:

"you sure?"

Sha Zhu was still confused and didn't understand what his elder brother meant. He just nodded:

"Yeah, sure, big brother... I'll just sit for a while."

The corner of He Weiguo's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't try to persuade her any further.

Okay, you want to suffer, right? I'll satisfy you!

He directly helped Sha Zhu to the side of the stool and let go of his hand. Sha Zhu was as if he had been pardoned, and he couldn't wait to sit on the stool.

“Ouch——!!!”

A shrill scream that was not like a human voice suddenly exploded!

Sha Zhu jumped up with a "swoosh" as if there was a spring under his butt!

His whole face was as pale as paper, veins on his forehead were bulging, and he was jumping on the spot in pain!

He Weiguo crossed his arms and looked at him coldly: "Are you comfortable?"

Sha Zhu finally came to his senses and remembered the wound on his butt that had been severely damaged by the belt and had already been torn apart!
