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

"We live in the same courtyard. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. This relationship is already very good."

"You are my elder. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, I will definitely do my best."

"But there's really no need for sworn brotherhood. You're making it too grand and inappropriate, and I'm afraid it will ruin my fortune."

After saying that, he took the initiative to fill Liu Haizhong's glass with wine and raised his glass:

"Come, Uncle Liu, let me toast you! Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality today!"

He Weiguo planned to leave after finishing this glass of wine.

If you stay any longer, who knows what shocking ideas will pop up in your bangs.

This is the best way now. Everyone has a way out, the relationship is maintained, and the boundaries are clearly drawn.

Liu Haizhong is not really stupid, of course he can hear the rejection in He Weiguo's words.

He wasn't completely drunk just now, he could still hold his liquor, but he was just trying to get ahead by taking advantage of the alcohol.

Seeing that He Weiguo clearly refused, he did not dare to force it and took the opportunity to come down the stairs:

"Good, good! It's good to be neighbors! A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor! Come on, Weiguo, drink! Drink!"

After drinking this glass of wine, He Weiguo stood up and said:

"Uncle Liu, thank you so much for the meal today. I'm done eating and drinking now, so I'll go back first."

"If you have any problems in the future, we are all neighbors, just give us a call."

Seeing the eldest brother stand up, Yu Shui and Sha Zhu also quickly stood up.

Sha Zhu now understood a little better and said goodbye to Liu Haizhong:

"Second Uncle, thank you for your hospitality today! Next time...next time I'll make something delicious at my house and I'll show you how I cook!"

Yu Shui also whispered shyly, "Second Uncle, thank you... When you have time... come to my house for dinner."

Liu Haizhong smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay! Then the Second Master will not be polite to you!"

The second aunt is still trying to keep him:

"Weiguo, can you three brothers and sisters sit for a while?"

"There's still food. Eat your fill before you go! There's no rush..."

He Weiguo waved his hand:

"Aunt Liu, there's really no need. I'm really full and satisfied."

"I'm a bit drunk. I want to go back and lie down for a while. I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself later. Better go back first."

After hearing what He Weiguo said, Second Aunt no longer insisted.

The three siblings then came out of Liu's house.

On the way back, Sha Zhu couldn't help muttering:

"Brother, that suggestion from Second Master just now was really... bold."

"I didn't expect him to say something like that! How could he even think of that!"

He Weiguo nodded: "Yeah."

In fact, He Weiguo knew exactly what was going on in Liu Haixin's mind.

This guy's biggest obsession is to become an official. Guangtian and Guangfu must have told him about what happened in school today, which made him think he might have some "connections".

Originally, he probably just wanted to ask for some advice on parenting, but after drinking a little, when the alcohol took over, he wanted to establish a connection.

But Lao Liu's idea is too taken for granted.

First of all, He Weiguo is just a driver now and has no real power, so he can’t help him at all.

Secondly, even if he could help, He Weiguo would not help - Liu Haizhong is not cut out to be an official, and getting him promoted would only harm both himself and others.

It is enough to maintain good neighborly relations.

……

At the Liu family's side, after He Weiguo and his two siblings left, they were almost done with their meal.

Guangtian and Guangfu helped the second aunt clean up the dishes.

Liu Haizhong sat there, indeed thinking seriously about what He Weiguo had just said.

It seems that just beating is not enough... do we need to talk about reason?

When Guangtian and Guangfu came out of the kitchen, Liu Haizhong cleared his throat and said:

"Guangtian, Guangfu! Did you hear what Brother He said tonight?"

"From now on, remember this! Learn from He Yushui! Do you hear me?"

Although the tone is still a bit aggressive, it seems a little different compared to the past when he would just curse and hit people.

The brothers Guangtian and Guangfu also felt this subtle change and nodded obediently:

"I heard you, Dad."

Soon, the second aunt came out after washing the dishes and saw Liu Haizhong snoring on the table.

She patted him unhappily.

"Lao Liu! Wake up! Go back to bed!"

While struggling to help him up, he couldn't help but complain in a low voice:

"After drinking a little cat urine, you can't even remember your last name... and you're even sworn brothers? How can you come up with that?! He's such a grown man..."

There weren't many entertainment activities at night these days, so the brothers Guangtian and Guangfu had already returned to their own rooms.

Lying in bed, the two brothers were still awake.

Liu Guangfu muttered quietly in the darkness:

"Brother, have you noticed? Dad seems a little different tonight?"

Liu Guangtian hummed, "A little bit."

There was a hint of cautious anticipation in Liu Guangfu's voice:

"Brother, tell me...what Brother He said...can Dad really listen to it?"

In the darkness, Liu Guangtian was silent for a while before he sighed softly:

"hope so……"

Chapter 103 The He Family's Little Warmth

When I came out of Liu's house, the yard was already quiet.

There is not much nightlife these days and everyone generally goes to bed early.

He Weiguo can drink quite a bit, but he is not as sober as usual after drinking. He just feels dry mouth and tongue, and just wants to go back and sit down and rest for a while.

Sha Zhu kept talking all the way, still harping on Liu Haizhong's outrageous proposal:

"Good fellow... Second Master, you're so bold... to become sworn brothers with me, Big Brother?"

"This... this is a generation difference! How did he figure it out..."

He was basically talking to himself, and He Weiguo didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Yu Shui followed her two brothers quietly and obediently.

After returning home, He Weiguo took off his coat and hung it on the back of a chair. He leaned back into the wooden chair and took a long breath. It was indeed much more comfortable to sit down.

Sha Zhu was in a similar situation, slumped down next to him.

Seeing this, Yu Shui quickly picked up the ceramic jar on the table.

He poured two cups of warm water and handed them to He Weiguo first:

"Brother, drink some water first. You'll feel better after drinking it."

Then he handed it to Sha Zhu and said, "Brother, drink some too."

He Weiguo felt warm in his heart. This girl was really sensible. "Thank you, Yushui."

Yu Shui waved her hands quickly:

"Brother, you don't have to be so polite. You've done so much for us, isn't it only natural that I pour you a glass of water?"

Sha Zhu didn't think too much about it. He took the water and gulped it down in a few gulps. After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said:

"Great! Drinking water makes me feel much better!"

Seeing that his second brother had finished drinking, Yu Shui urged He Weiguo: "Brother, you should drink quickly too."

He Weiguo nodded and picked up the cup and took a few sips.

The warm water flowing through my throat did relieve my thirst after drinking, and I felt refreshed.

After a while, the rain spoke again:

"Big brother, second brother, you guys take a rest first. I'll wash the dishes we brought back."

After saying that, he picked up the empty plates and bowls and turned into the kitchen.

Only He Weiguo and Sha Zhu were left in the room.

Sha Zhu was the first to break the silence, his tone tinged with emotion:

"Brother, I think what you said last night makes a lot of sense."

"The way Second Master usually beats Guangtian and Guangfu... to be honest, it's no less lenient than yours."

"But you're right, you're different from Second Uncle! You're really good to me!"
