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

Sha Zhu was struck by lightning, staring at his elder brother in amazement, his mouth open so wide that an egg could fit in!

Big brother...big brother, how come you know everything?

He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when he met He Weiguo's all-seeing eyes, all his excuses were stuck in his throat. In the end, he could only bury his head with a flushed face.

Xu Damao was listening at the side and was also shocked.

He didn't expect He Weiguo to have such sharp observation and such accurate reasoning.

He looked at Sha Zhu's deflated expression, then at He Weiguo, and felt a little more awe in his heart.

He silently refilled He Weiguo and Zhou Zhenbang's glasses with wine.

He Weiguo looked at Sha Zhu's expression and continued to enlighten him with a look of dismay:

"Zhu Zi, remember this! When judging a person, don't just listen to their sweet words! That's useless!"

"You have to see what he actually did!"

His voice deepened, with a penetrating force:

"Your Yi Zhonghai, who always talks about 'benevolence, righteousness, morality' and 'mutual help', what did he do behind the scenes?"

"Think about it carefully! What did the Jia family, that family of vampires, do?!"

He Weiguo pointed at Xu Damao who was sitting silently beside him:

"Look at Xu Damao again! Yes, this guy used to have a problem with you. He's not as strong as you, so he definitely can't beat you in a fight. If you two get into a fight, he'll most likely be the one to suffer."

"But today, when you were desperate, starving, and couldn't even borrow a dollar, who reached out to help you?"

"It's him! It's this villain Xu Damao whom you look down upon!"

"Can't you see clearly?"

(ps: Should I write some typos to trick the comments? Hehe!)

Chapter 64 Xu Damao's Heartfelt Words

After hearing what his elder brother said, Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao with complicated eyes, then looked at his elder brother, his mind buzzing.

He seemed to understand the truth a little, but could he immediately change the stubborn character that had been formed over the years?

difficult!

The perception that "Ya Ye is a gentleman and Xu Damao is a villain" is too deeply rooted.

He stiffened his neck and continued to mutter in dissatisfaction:

"Xu Damao has done a lot of bad things. He's always trying to be smart and trying to trick me! Anyway, he... he's just a bad guy! He can't change!"

He Weiguo looked at his brother's stubborn expression and covered his forehead helplessly.

There's no point in being anxious, this thing really needs to be done slowly.

Just hold him down first and don't let him act like a jerk and send things out.

As for ideological transformation, that is a long-term project!

This emotional intelligence and train of thought are really despairing.

Zhou Zhenbang watched from the side and shook his head, but he didn't say much.

Xu Damao, who was at the center of the storm, did not jump up and curse as usual this time.

He drank another glass of wine without thinking. The alcohol started to rise and his face turned red, but his eyes were unusually sharp and serious.

He suddenly put down the wine glass with a "dong" sound, and his eyes were fixed on Sha Zhu's face.

This is the first time I didn’t use the nickname “Silly Pillar”:

"Pillar!"

Xu Damao's voice was hoarse from drinking and had a rare solemnity:

"Are we...childhood friends who have been playing together since we broke into our crotchless pants?"

"Back then, Big Brother He thought we were too young and didn't take us with him. So, did we have to run around after him all day long?"

"Is it good enough to wear a pair of pants?"

"Ah? Tell me honestly, were you like this when you were a kid?"

Sha Zhu was stunned by the sudden questioning and the name "Zhu Zi", and a corner of his dusty memory was pried open.

That’s right, when he was a child... apart from his eldest brother, Xu Damao was indeed his best playmate.

He turned his head away awkwardly:

"Why bring up your childhood? That was then! Does it change the fact that you've become a bad person now? You are bad now!"

Xu Damao ignored his challenge and continued speaking with a tone of long-suppressed excitement:

"Okay! Let's not talk about our childhood!"

"Then let me ask you! Zhuzi! When did we break up?"

"When did we go from being brothers wearing the same pants to being sworn enemies? Think about it!"

Sha Zhu frowned, bewildered. "Who can remember clearly? Anyway...it won't be good when you get older!"

"You don't remember! I remember!" Xu Damao suddenly raised his voice, his eyes red.

"It was after Big Brother He left! Especially after your father, He Daqing, also ran away! Our relationship took a sharp turn for the worse and we completely broke up!"

He leaned forward and stared into Shazhu's confused eyes:

"Do you know why? It's because I've been reminding you over and over again! Zhuzi! Don't believe Yi Zhonghai! Don't believe those people from the Jia family! Stay away from them!"

"Did you fucking listen? Huh?"

Xu Damao's voice was filled with suppressed anger and grievance:

"Not only did you not listen! You even thought I was trying to sow discord! You thought I was giving you bad advice! You thought I was jealous of you!"

"Plus, Yi Zhonghai and the others repeatedly said that I, Xu Damao, was a worthless person, both at the whole hospital meeting and behind my back!"

“It’s a bad seed!

"It's a villain!"

"You believed it! You believed it all!"

He pounded the table hard, making the dishes clatter softly.

"How many times have I reminded you? Ten times? Twenty times? Is it any use?"

"It's no use! You're still scolding me! You're saying that a dog can't spit out ivory!"

"I can't stand you being well by scolding me!"

"I can't even beat you! How many times have you beaten me?"

"How much loss have you suffered?"

"Who else can I blame if not you for the frustration and resentment I feel?"

"It was just like this, step by step, that we became sworn enemies today!"

Xu Damao took a breath and looked at Sha Zhu with complicated eyes, with a hint of fatigue and self-mockery:

"Zhu Zi, honestly, I thought our lives were over, rotten and hopeless!"

"I, Xu Damao, admit it! But...but Brother He is back!"

His voice suddenly carried a hint of imperceptible hope:

"I can't control you, nor can I wake you up, but Brother He can!"

"That's why I'm happy! I'm really happy that Brother He is back!"

“First, I adore him!”

"Secondly, I think... maybe Brother He can help you, this fool, turn things around a little bit!"

"Maybe... maybe we can go back to the way we were when we were little, even... even just a little bit?"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He grabbed the bottle and poured himself another glass, then drank it down in one gulp.

He sat back down on the stool, no longer looking at Sha Zhu, but staring at the table, his voice lowered:

"This is the truth that I, Xu Damao, have hidden in my heart... Believe it or not!"

Shazhu was completely confused.

Xu Damao's words were like a key that suddenly opened a deliberately forgotten corner in the depths of his memory.

Scenes flashed by: when they were little, they robbed bird nests together; Xu Damao secretly slipped him half a piece of candy; Xu Damao's repeated, almost hesitant reminders; himself waving his hands impatiently and cursing! !

Yi Zhonghai said earnestly, "Da Mao is a thoughtful kid, you have to be more careful."

……

Every detail was exactly as Xu Damao had said!

A huge sense of awkwardness and confusion grew in his heart.

What Xu Damao said...seems...to be true!

Could it be... that I was really wrong?

Did I ignore Xu Damao's reminders time and time again, or even regard them as malicious?

He opened his mouth, his throat dry, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but found that the "great principles" that Yi Zhonghai had instilled in his mind seemed so pale and powerless at this moment. He could only squeeze out a few dry words:

"But...but the uncle said that men should help each other and be responsible. Is this...is this wrong?"

"Those who fart should help each other! Those who fart should take responsibility!" He Weiguo couldn't help it anymore, and growled, really wanting to go up and kick this blockhead twice:

"Xu Damao has spoken so openly from the heart, and you're still here talking like a big shot?"

"Zhuzi! Open your eyes and take a look! Is what Damao said to you today true?"

"Did I say that because I consider you a brother?"

"Think about all those nice things Yi Zhonghai said to you. Wasn't what he did behind your back all plots to suck your blood?"
