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

"I'm going to give you a good beating today to teach you a lesson!"

"Remember, if you make a small mistake, you'll be beaten with words. If you make a big mistake... well, then Big Brother will be beaten with martial arts!"

"From now on, be mindful of what you should and shouldn't do! Think clearly about what you should and shouldn't do!"

"Puff!" Xu Damao next to him finally couldn't help laughing, adding fuel to the fire:

"Did you hear that, Zhuzi? Brother He, this is for your own good!"

"You need to deal with this problem of being unable to move once you see someone else's wife!"

"You're being given a 'verbal beating'! I think we should just go for a 'physical beating' and teach you a lesson!"

He Yushui watched from the side, blinking her big eyes, and asked curiously:

"Brother, what is 'civilized fighting'? What is 'martial fighting'? Why did you hit my second brother?"

He Weiguo didn't answer Yu Shui directly, but just glared at Xu Damao:

"Xu Damao, shut up! If you keep stirring up trouble, I'll beat you up too!"

And he said to the rain:

"Yushui, come inside. Big brother wants to talk to your second brother about something."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Yu Shui, he had no choice but to go into the house obediently.

Xu Damao also knew what to do and shut up.

Sha Zhu looked at the branch in his elder brother's hand and felt as aggrieved as a 200-pound child.

He actually had a premonition in his heart.

Just now at the gate of the Jia family, when he saw Qin Huairu like that, he did feel soft-hearted for a moment.

In the past, he might have tried to make excuses, but now he didn't dare. His eldest brother's eyes were very sharp, and he couldn't hide his little thoughts at all.

If you quibble, the "civil fight" might immediately turn into a "martial fight", and that would be a big loss!

But looking at the thin branches, he couldn't help but shiver.

This thing won't hurt your bones when it hits your palm, but it hurts like hell!

The situation is better than people.

Sha Zhu could only accept his fate by closing his eyes, clenching his teeth, and stretching out his left hand tremblingly, mumbling:

"Brother...brother, please be gentle. I...I still have to stir the wok tomorrow..."

He Weiguo felt both angry and amused when he saw his fearless look on his face.

This guy really doesn't have a long memory!

He raised the branch in his hand -

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the branch hit the center of Sha Zhu's palm accurately!

"Ow—!"

Sha Zhu screamed in pain, jumped on the spot, tears streaming down his face. His hand suddenly retracted into his arms as if burned by a branding iron, and he gasped with cold breaths:

"It hurts! It hurts so much! Bro! It hurts so much!"

He Weiguo raised his eyebrows and said sternly:

"Why are you shrinking?! Stretch it out! Shrink it again, double it!"

Sha Zhu grimaced in pain, his face wrinkled into a ball. Looking at his elder brother's unquestionable eyes, he could only endure the piercing pain and tremblingly stretched out the burning hand again.

He was wincing in pain, but he kept repeating in his mind:

Hold on! Hold on! It will pass after these few blows!

"A fight of words" is always better than a fight of fists! When the big brother hits you with his belt... that's really painful!

Xu Damao watched with great interest, feeling very happy:

You deserve it! You never learned your lesson, kid!

Chapter 84 I, Shazhu, can finally sit down to eat

He Weiguo slapped Sha Zhu's palm twice and then stopped.

He didn't really use all his strength, Sha Zhu still had to rely on these hands to work in the cafeteria.

In addition, I had kicked him a few times at the door before. This kid has made some progress today, and the mistake he made is not too big. As long as the meaning is conveyed.

Xu Damao saw that the show was over and said:

"Brother He, Zhuzi, Yushui, I'm going back first."

He Weiguo called out, "Da Mao, stay and deal with one of them?"

Xu Damao waved his hand and said sincerely:

"No, no, Brother He, that's really not necessary! I just had a meal here yesterday, and I'm so shameless to eat for free here!"

He is clear-headed and knows how to handle interpersonal relationships in moderation.

The meal we had yesterday was already a favor. If you eat it again today, you would be ungrateful.

He thought to himself: next time I go to the countryside to show a movie, if I can get some local products, I will give some to the He family.

It’s not that I didn’t want to give it before, it’s just that it would be useless even if I gave it!

With Sha Zhu's awful look, he might just turn around and give all the goodies to those ungrateful people in the Jia family!

Now that Boss He is in charge, how dare Sha Zhu continue to be a money-giving boy? Even if he has three guts, he wouldn't dare!

……

The three He siblings returned to the house.

Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Brother, you take a rest. I'll go make dinner!"

Yu Shui was a little puzzled: "Brother, didn't you bring your lunch box back from the cafeteria today? Don't you usually bring yours?"

Silly Zhu scratched his head and explained:

"Yushui, there are still quite a lot of fish and steamed bread left over from yesterday. I thought it would be good to heat them up and eat them, so I didn't bring any back."

Yu Shui nodded: "Oh, then I'll help you warm it up."

At this time, He Weiguo spoke, his voice was not loud but it was unquestionable:

"Zhu Zi, don't bring your lunch boxes from the cafeteria home from now on."

"what?"

Sha Zhu was stunned and didn't react at all:

"Why, big brother?"

The rain also blinked and looked at the eldest brother with confusion.

Isn’t it normal for cooks to bring in some leftovers these days?

He Weiguo looked at Sha Zhu with a serious look:

"Listen, big brother is back, our family doesn't need this little bit of food."

"You always steal things from the cafeteria. No one said anything once or twice, but what if it happens more often?"

"There are thousands of eyes watching you in the factory! If someone who dislikes you or wants to punish you gets hold of something, they'll report it to the factory leaders or even the neighborhood committee office, and accuse you of undermining socialism and digging up public funds!"

"What are you going to do with this hat on? Can you explain it clearly?"

He paused, his voice lowered:

"Zhu Zi, is it worth it to get punished, lose your job, or even go to jail just for a bite of leftovers?"

"Are we really short of food right now? Big brother promises you that as long as you go to work properly and don't give away the food at home, I will never let you drink anything but rainwater as long as I have something to eat! Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu's heart skipped a beat and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back!

Yes! These days, aren’t there many examples of people being ripped off and tortured to death over trivial matters?

You were only thinking about taking advantage of small gains and filling your stomach, why didn't you think about the fatal consequences?

If I really lost my stable job as a cook in a steel mill because of a few leftovers, or worse... I would regret it so much!

Yu Shui also understood what he said, her face tensed up, and she quickly tugged at Sha Zhu's sleeve:

"Second brother! Big brother is right! Don't bring him anymore!"

Sha Zhu nodded vigorously, his eyes showing fear and determination:

"Brother! I've remembered this! I won't take it with me again! I won't take it with me even if you kill me! Without your permission, I won't take even a grain of rice out of the house!"

Seeing that he really listened, He Weiguo's expression softened and he nodded: "Well, go ahead."

Shazhu and Yushui went into the kitchen and started working.

He Weiguo threw himself onto the hard bed and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Today I was repairing that broken Gas-powered car in the factory. I was hunched over and crawling under the car, banging and banging around all day. My waist and arms were so sore that they felt numb.

He closed his eyes, and with a thought, the familiar system panel appeared in his mind.

I've been so busy these past two days that I forgot about the flash sale mall.

Fortunately, the item is still there and has not expired.

The panel clearly shows two products to be sold out:

[10 jins of premium pork belly] and [an ordinary iron kitchen knife] are still priced at 1 cent each at the flash sale price.

10 pounds of pork belly!

When He Weiguo saw this, he couldn't help but grin.

Nowadays, let alone 10 kilograms of meat, you can’t even get 1 kilogram of meat without a meat ticket!

The price of meat on the black market is even more shocking.
