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

This system gives 1 kilograms for 10 cent?

This isn't an instant kill, it's simply a robbery system!

As for the ordinary-looking iron kitchen knife... He Weiguo muttered to himself: It's better than nothing.

It's only 1 cent anyway, and I won't suffer any loss or get cheated, so just consider it as a reward.

Products produced by the system are better than those produced by the supply and marketing cooperatives, right?

Without hesitation, he spent 2 cents and bought both items in seconds.

With a thought, the fat and lean pork belly was stored in the system space.

Save it first!

He Weiguo calculated: There is still half of the fish left from yesterday, and with the steamed bread, it will be enough for tonight's meal.

This good meat must be kept. It won’t go bad if it’s kept in space!

After exiting the system, a huge feeling of fatigue came over me like a tide, and my eyelids were too heavy to lift.

The energy consumed by repairing the car far exceeded his expectations. He Weiguo tilted his head and fell asleep almost instantly, and the sound of light snoring echoed in the room.

……

In the kitchen, Yu Shui skillfully lit a fire, while Sha Zhu carefully put the leftover fish pieces and steamed buns from yesterday into the steamer.

Steam gradually rose from the pot, and white mist with the smell of fish and the aroma of grain spread out.

"Gululu..."

Sha Zhu's stomach growled loudly.

He rubbed his stomach sheepishly.

I haven't had a full meal in the past two days, and there's no oil or water in my stomach.

But... I can finally eat at the table today!

Thinking of this, the hunger in Sha Zhu's heart was immediately diluted by great joy. He couldn't help but smile foolishly, and his work movements became lighter.

The rain looked at him and asked curiously:

"Second brother, what are you so happy about? Did you pick up some money?"

Sha Zhu chuckled, lowered his voice, and said with a bit of excitement:

"Yushui, big brother has been back for several days. This is the first time I can sit at the same table with big brother and have a proper meal! Tell me, how can I not be happy?"

After hearing this, Yu Shui couldn't help but laugh, revealing two small canine teeth:

"Second brother, don't blame Big Brother for punishing you before. Big Brother beat you, punished you, and didn't let you eat. Actually...actually, it was all for your own good. He was afraid that you would make mistakes again."

The smile on Sha Zhu's face faded and he became serious.

He nodded, his voice lowered:

"Yeah! Yushui, I understand everything. Big brother has been like this since he was a child. He looks fierce and is ruthless, but his heart is warm."

"Before... I was too stupid, too ignorant, and just followed my temper. I almost got myself killed, and even made you suffer as a result."

He thought of the stupid things he had done in the past, feeding all the good things to the Jia family while his own sister had to eat steamed buns and pickles, and he felt upset.

Yu Shui felt warm in her heart when she saw her second brother's serious look.

She nodded vigorously:

"Second brother, it's all in the past! Now that eldest brother is back, we can be together as a family and live a good life. Things will definitely get better and better!"

"Yes! It will definitely get better!"

Chapter 85: Zhuzi! I'll take you to beat up someone!

Sha Zhu and Yu Shui swiftly brought the hot steamed bread and the leftover fish from last night into the house and placed them on the table.

Seeing that He Weiguo was still sleeping in bed, Yu Shui tiptoed over and carefully pushed his arm:

"Brother, wake up, it's time to eat."

He Weiguo opened his eyes, sat up, and rubbed his sore neck:

"Ah."

He stood up and walked to the table and sat down.

Sha Zhu has already placed three bowls.

He first placed a bowl respectfully in front of He Weiguo, then placed another for Yu Shui, and finally placed his own bowl in front of him.

After putting it away, he stared at He Weiguo eagerly and asked cautiously:

"Brother! I... I can eat tonight... right? Two days... two days have passed, right?"

There was a mixture of trepidation and anticipation in his voice.

Although he thought the time had come, he didn't even dare to touch his chopsticks without his elder brother's personal nod.

He Weiguo looked at his cowardly look, feeling both angry and amused, and snorted.

When Sha Zhu heard this, his face instantly lit up with joy, he was happier than if he had picked up money!

He quickly put a large piece of fish and two steamed buns into his bowl. After sitting down, he hurriedly passed the chopsticks to He Weiguo and Yu Shui.

After doing all this, he could not wait to grab the steamed bread and took a big bite, chewing and mumbling:

"Um...Brother! You have no idea! I've been starving these past two days! I've never had a full stomach!"

"And...and you've been back for so many days, and this is the first time I'm eating at the same table with you!"

His tone was full of grievance and satisfaction of finally being recognized.

He Weiguo knew Sha Zhu too well. He was the kind of person who would shine with a little sunshine, and would take advantage of others if their attitude was a little bit better.

He frowned and knocked on the table with his chopsticks:

"Zhu Zi, just eat and stop talking nonsense. I hope you can really learn your lesson this time."

"Next time you do something stupid, you won't just starve for two days, you'll starve for three days! Do you hear me?"

Sha Zhu was happily chewing his steamed bread. When he heard this, his neck shrank and he almost choked. He quickly swallowed it hard and nodded hurriedly:

"I heard it, I heard it! Don't worry, big brother! I promise I won't dare to do it again!"

"It's so uncomfortable to be hungry. I... I really want to eat a good meal!"

He was terrified: starving for three days? He was already exhausted after just two days, wouldn't starving for three days be enough to kill him?

Not to mention the three days of starvation that the eldest brother mentioned. That would definitely mean committing a bigger mistake, and then he would be severely beaten after being starved... Thinking about how he felt when he was hung at the door last time, Sha Zhu shuddered and never wanted to experience it again!

Seeing his timid look, He Weiguo knew that he had hit the target, so he turned his attention to Yu Shui who was eating quietly:

"Yushui, how was school today? Did you keep up with your studies?"

Yu Shui didn't expect that her elder brother would suddenly ask her this. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently:

"Well, that's great, big brother. I can keep up."

He Weiguo looked at his sister. This girl had good grades. After all, she went to high school in the original drama.

He slowed down his tone:

"Well, that's good. Yushui, study hard and work hard to get into high school. When you pass, big brother will give you a reward!"

Yu Shui's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Really, big brother?"

He Weiguo nodded affirmatively:

"Of course it's true! You're the first cultured person in our He family! Your second brother and I are both rough and tumble people, and we're counting on you to bring honor to our family!"

He was telling the truth. The original owner and Sha Zhu both graduated from elementary school.

The rain seemed to have been given a sacred mission. Its face was tense and it nodded vigorously.

"Well! Don't worry, big brother! I will definitely work hard to get into high school! I will definitely not embarrass you!"

He Weiguo reached out and rubbed her head, his tone gentle:

"Silly girl, what are you talking about? I sincerely hope you're doing well and want you to learn more skills."

"Once you learn something in your head, it becomes yours and no one can take it away from you!"

"Only if you have the ability can you find a good job and live a good life in the future, understand?"

Yu Shui felt the warmth of her elder brother's palm, and her heart was warm. She nodded vigorously:

"Yeah! I understand, big brother!"

He Weiguo picked up a piece of fish and asked:

"So, Yushui, what reward do you want? Talk to Big Brother. Rewards are motivation!"

Yu Shui bit the tip of her chopsticks, thought carefully, and finally shook her head, her voice soft but firm:

"Brother, I don't want anything."

"You bought me a bicycle. I'm already very, very satisfied! Really!"

"I'll just think of the bike as an early reward from you! I...I'll definitely study hard!"

He Weiguo was very pleased to see his sister's sensible appearance, but he still insisted:

"Girl, let's put things in perspective. That bicycle is a gift from your elder brother to make up for the fact that he hasn't been home for so many years."

"You earned your way into high school, so you need a reward! Tell me, what do you want? New clothes? A new schoolbag? Or some books?"

Yu Shui still shook her head and looked at He Weiguo with clear eyes:

"Brother, I really don't need anything else."

"I am very happy every day now. I can go to school and go home for dinner. I have my older brothers by my side. I feel really good and content."

This is what she means.

Since my eldest brother came back, home feels like home again.

My second brother is under control and no longer acts foolishly and sends things randomly; I am no longer bullied by people in the yard; there is someone waiting for me after school every day, and I have hot meals to eat when I go home... This kind of stable and solid life is more precious than anything else.
