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

"Your food tastes really good! Really! I think it's delicious!"

Seeing Sha Zhu's 180-degree turn, Liu Haizhong's eyes widened!

He knows Sha Zhu's stubborn temper too well!

Whenever there is a meeting in the courtyard, he gets so angry that even the three uncles may not be able to control him.

But what about today?

He Weiguo didn't even say a word, just a look!

Let this stubborn donkey be obedient in an instant, and find a way out on his own!

How many days have you been back?

Is this how you treat Shazhu?

Look at yourself again? The soles of your shoes are almost worn out every day, and those two guys are still the same!

Liu Haizhong was extremely envious, but he quickly smoothed things over and laughed twice:

"Hahaha, hey, Weiguo, don't blame Zhuzi."

"Zhu Zi is the canteen chef now, after all. It's normal for him to have high demands! Normal!"

"What the old woman cooks is just home-cooked food. It can't compare to what Zhuzi cooks. It can't compare."

After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh to He Weiguo sincerely:

"Weiguo, honestly, I'm really impressed by you!"

"Look how disciplined you are in conditioning the pillars! Seriously! And it's only been a few days? That's impressive!"

His envy was beyond words, and he raised another glass.

If it were any other time, when Liu Haizhong said that, Sha Zhu would have retorted, "I'm already in my twenties and you're saying I'm being harassed. How is that appropriate? I have to save face, too!"

But today, his elder brother was sitting right next to him, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only hold his words back and eat his food in silence.

He Weiguo didn't say much about this, he just raised his glass and clinked it with Liu Haizhong.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Liu Haizhong turned to Yu Shui, who had been eating quietly, and tried to force out his most benevolent smile:

"Yushui, I heard from Guangtian and the others that you're a top student in school, always getting top marks in every exam. That's great! You're so well behaved and smart!"

After saying this, he immediately glared at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, who were busy eating and trying to reduce their presence, with a look of disappointment on his face:

"Look at you! All you do is have fun and get me into trouble!"

"I can do nothing but eating!"

"Learn more from Yu Shui and improve your grades. Do you understand?"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu shuddered with fear and nodded quickly:

"I heard it, I heard it! Dad, we must study hard together! We must!"

"..."

Chapter 101 My love for my younger brothers and sisters is the same

After a few more glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again.

Liu Haizhong filled He Weiguo's cup again, this time with a sincere desire to learn from him.

"Weiguo, you must tell your uncle Liu the truth today. How do you manage it?"

Liu Haizhong leaned forward and lowered his voice:

"Every day I see you just smoking the fool pole, I don't see you doing anything special."

"But everyone in the yard can see the change in Shazhu!"

“It’s much better than before!”

He became more and more depressed as he spoke, pointing to his chest:

"You said Uncle Liu, I beat those two guys up a lot too! And the blows... well, I guess they were no less severe than yours, right?"

"But what are the results? A world of difference!"

"These two guys haven't changed at all! They're still not convinced! What's the secret here? Talk to Uncle Liu about it."

He Weiguo looked at Liu Haizhong's sincere expression and didn't know how to start.

The Liu family's problems are old news! The main theme is a loving father and a filial son!

He actually felt a little sympathy for the brothers Guangtian and Guangfu.

To be honest, it is really not easy for these two boys to grow up safely.

Liu Haizhong is now a level six blacksmith. He swings a sledgehammer every day. How strong must his hands be?

Even so, the two children have been eating "Seven Wolves" since childhood and are still alive and kicking. He Weiguo admires their strong life.

The key to the problem is not whether these two guys are obedient or not, but that Liu Haizhong gives them a beating every three days and a big beating every five days!

It seems like he can find something to beat someone up even when there's nothing wrong, and he's pretty ruthless.

With a father like this, it would be strange if the child could be close to him.

How can a son be filial if the father is not kind?

The person Liu Haizhong really deserves to be beaten is the boss Liu Guangqi who got all the benefits but ran away in the end!

Old Liu has a bit of the feudal idea of ​​"primogeniture system". He puts all his resources and hopes on the eldest brother, but ends up raising an ungrateful person.

Although Guangtian and Guangfu were not doing well later on, they at least knew to go back to the courtyard and pretend to be nice. Liu Guangqi never even showed up.

Normally, He Weiguo was too lazy to argue with Liu Haizhong about these things, but today, Guangtian and Guangfu seemed to be pretty good guys, and with the alcohol and the atmosphere setting the tone, he thought it would be okay to say a few words.

So he put down his glass and spoke seriously:

"Uncle Liu, to be honest, your starting point was wrong from the beginning, so it's definitely useless."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was completely stunned and didn't understand at all:

"Weiguo, can you explain it more clearly? This... this beating up someone, do you even need to have a starting point? You've even confused your uncle Liu."

He Weiguo waved his hand:

"Uncle Liu, since you asked sincerely today, I will tell you the truth."

"But we agreed that you can't get angry after hearing this. If you find it unacceptable, I'll stop you right away."

Liu Haizhong was even more confused, but thinking about how to discipline a child, he patted his chest and promised:

"You say it! Don't worry! Uncle Liu promises he won't be angry! No matter how harsh your words are, it's fine!"

"Okay." He Weiguo nodded, "Then I won't be polite with you."

He paused, his eyes sweeping across the slightly nervous people at the table, finally landing on Liu Haizhong's face, and posing a soul-piercing question:

"Uncle Liu, let me ask you a question. In your heart, do you love your three sons equally?"

As soon as the words fell, the dinner table fell silent.

Liu Haizhong never expected He Weiguo to ask this.

He knew clearly in his heart that he definitely favored the eldest brother more.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, but...what does this have to do with disciplining children?

He still felt that it was mainly because of the eldest brother's hard work. If the two younger ones could be as successful as the eldest brother, he wouldn't have to use violence so often!

When the brothers Guangtian and Guangfu heard this question, their ears pricked up instantly, and they felt nervous and vaguely expectant.

They have been holding these words in their hearts for too long!

They just think that their dad is biased to the point of being partial to them!

But how dare I say it in normal times?

If I say it, I'll just get beaten even harder.

Liu Guangtian even felt that when it came to who could take the most beating!

Apart from Sha Zhu, I guess the only two people in the yard are these two brothers.

The second aunt didn't say anything, just lowered her head silently.

She also knew in her heart that due to the influence of Old Liu, her family was indeed biased towards the eldest brother.

After a long silence, Liu Haizhong spoke awkwardly. He did not answer directly, but asked instead:

"Weiguo, you're asking this... is it related to disciplining those two guys?"

"Besides...if those two guys weren't so naughty, would I be able to beat them all the time?"

"If they could be as worry-free and hardworking as Guangqi, I wouldn't have to do it every day!"

"Do you think this is true?"

He Weiguo looked at him and shook his head:

"Uncle Liu, you are wrong."

"Don't be embarrassed. Everyone knows what you're thinking."

"You are partial to the eldest brother. You have to admit it whether you want to or not."

"Since you asked today, I'll make it clear."

Perhaps because of the alcohol, Liu Haizhong no longer hid it and admitted it with a mumble:

"Yes... I admit that among my three sons, I am slightly... slightly partial to Guangqi."

"But I haven't treated these two guys unfairly over the years, right?"

"They're well-fed and well-clothed, and they're not starving or freezing, are they?"

"It's these two guys who are not up to par! I'm really disappointed in them!"

"You see, this is where the problem lies!" He Weiguo took over the conversation and raised his voice a little so that everyone at the table could hear clearly.

"Uncle Liu, look at my house. I'm putting this out there today: in my heart, He Weiguo, pillars and rainwater have the same weight!"
