Chapter 2303
The Pathetic Younger Brother
He Yuzhu made a phone call to his third senior brother.
Unexpectedly, the third senior brother simply said on the phone, "Xiao Er is with me. Bring Xiao Zhuang over."
Over here at the restaurant.
He Yuzhu put down the phone and stared blankly for a while.
He turned his head and glanced at his son, Xiao Zhuang, who was sitting at the table drinking soda. He had no idea what the father and son were up to.
One ran over to him, and the other ran over to his third senior brother.
He Yuzhu shook his head, shaking off the bad thoughts in his mind.
He may not like Wang Xiaoer, but he shouldn't think of people as so wicked.
The thought that a child of about ten years old would cooperate with his parents to scheme against him and his third senior brother is a bit too dark.
He Yuzhu composed himself, walked up to Xiao Zhuang, and said with a smile, "Let's go, your dad went to your third uncle's place."
Let's go over there.
When He Yuzhu arrived at the Sijiucheng Hotel and entered his third senior brother's office, he couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw Wang Xiaoer.
This guy is really pitiful.
One eye was swollen and black, and there were bloody claw marks on both cheeks and neck.
It is clear that Comrade Wang Xiaoer won second place in the first Sanda competition held by the Wang family.
No wonder Xiao Zhuang was so scared that he wanted to go find him.
If he had been beaten like that by Liu Ting, his own children might have gone to the police station to call for help.
When Xiao Er saw He Yuzhu, he suddenly stood up, his face full of grievance.
But He Yuzhu's reaction was completely different from what he expected.
He Yuzhu wasn't angry, nor did he shout that he would stand up for him; instead, he just laughed.
"Hehe...haha...waiter, how come you're in such a sorry state?" He Yuzhu completely lost his composure, laughing so hard his stomach hurt.
"Brother..." the waiter called out to him plaintively.
He Yuzhu waved his hand, suppressing a laugh, and continued, "Haha..."
Don't talk to me like that, let me have a laugh first.
"The waiter was bullied like this, and you, as his older brother, still have the nerve to laugh."
····
"Pfft..." Hearing the commotion in the office, the third senior brother originally intended to reprimand He Yuzhu, but he couldn't help but laugh as well.
Only Xiao Zhuang was a good kid; seeing his father in such a miserable state, he stood there wiping away tears.
He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh.
If Wang Xiaoer had been even slightly more assertive, his marriage would have been one where the man was stronger and the woman weaker.
It's quite a feat for Qin Jingru to even fart loudly.
When Wang Furong and the old lady were alive, they actually trained Qin Jingru quite well.
If it weren't for Xiao Er's complete lack of principles and bottom line in blindly following Qin Jingru, we wouldn't be where we are today.
It can be said that Xiao Er's current predicament is entirely of his own making.
"Third Brother, Brother Zhu, I can't live like this anymore," Xiao Er said, holding his head in his hands and looking dejected.
He Yuzhu ignored him completely, instead walking to a chair on the side, sitting down with his legs crossed, taking out a pack of cigarettes, and gesturing towards his third senior brother.
Seeing that his third senior brother was waving his hand, he simply took out a cigarette and lit it himself.
"Wipe your tears and set a good example for your son." The third senior brother hugged Xiao Zhuang in his arms, wiping away the child's tears, but turned to the second senior brother and scolded him sternly.
These words startled the waiter, who wiped his face with his sleeve, perhaps touching the bruises around his eyes, and let out two cold hisses.
“Tell me the whole story, and Zhu Zi and I will give you some advice.”
However, let me preface this by saying that every family has its own problems.
The problems between you and your husband are something you need to solve yourselves. Zhu Zi and I are ultimately outsiders.
In this kind of situation, helping too much or too little is wrong.
"If I didn't pity Zhuangzhuang, I wouldn't bother with all this nonsense." This time, the third senior brother stood firm and didn't think about helping without any principles.
It's probably the same thing the old couple did that made him realize the reality.
No matter how attentive he was to the Wang family, Xiao Er could never mistake him for Wang Furong.
These words seem very disrespectful to the deceased Wang Furong.
But it's the truth.
Unless the third senior brother becomes the second brother's biological father, the second brother will not trust him unconditionally and listen to him in everything.
Otherwise, even if his third senior brother were his own brother, it would still be impossible.
"...That's how it is."
Her brother's family is also now implementing the household responsibility system.
Her brother's temporary job was dismissed by the commune.
Jingru initially asked me to find my two older brothers, but I didn't agree.
Later, our small restaurant did quite well, and Jingru thought about taking over the shop next door and making the restaurant bigger.
Ask her brother to come and help.
I disagreed, and she argued with me, which led to a fight..." The waiter briefly recounted the events.
Among these was his self-aggrandizement.
Take the case of Qin Jingru's brother being dismissed by the commune, for example. He didn't even contact He Yuzhu and the others.
Even if he sought help, He Yuzhu and his third senior brother wouldn't help.
He Yuzhu had expressed this attitude to Xiao Er years ago because of the bicycle issue.
Qin Jingru's family connections are Xiao Er's connections, and have nothing to do with He Yuzhu.
No matter how capable He Yuzhu is, he will not lend the Qin family a single penny.
This isn't because He Yuzhu is cold-hearted; it's just that in matters like this, being soft-hearted is unacceptable.
Otherwise, he'd end up like that character in a later TV drama who defied fate, even trying to get a government job for the dog back home.
Human greed is bottomless.
Sheng Tianbanzi thought of helping his hometown, back when he was poor and had received care from his hometown.
He Yuzhu has no connection with the Qin family, so why should he take on this burden?
If He Yuzhu had been soft-hearted, then to this day, the children of his late father-in-law, Lao Mu, and the relatives of Liu Ting's family would have been showered with favors one after another.
He Yuzhu flicked the ash off his cigarette and asked curiously, "Isn't it normal for your brother-in-law to help out?"
You two aren't short of money.
Just give him some money to start a small business.
Tractors should be a good business in rural areas now.
If all else fails, your Wang family can foot the bill and buy him a tractor for transport; that will earn him a good profit.
He Yuzhu was not joking when he said that.
For example, in the commune where he used to run a farm, after the implementation of the household responsibility system, many families pooled their money to buy small four-wheeled tractors for about two thousand yuan, specifically to haul bricks for the village's brick kilns.
You can break even in a year; it's quite a good way to make money.
Of course, this was also because the commune was located in Beijing, which gave it a geographical advantage.
But Qin Family Village isn't located in some remote mountain village; it's situated around Beijing. As long as you're willing to work hard, making money isn't difficult.
The Wang family can definitely come up with two thousand yuan.
Wang Xiaoer looked up at He Yuzhu, his lips twitched, and finally he lowered his head and said nothing.
He Yuzhu wasn't angry; this wasn't the first time he'd seen his younger brother's incompetence. (End of Chapter)
