Chapter 2482
He's a Master at Scamming His Brothers
Xu Damao is feeling quite pleased with himself lately.
His wife came back.
However, according to rumors, the couple were still very sweet together on the first day Jiu'er returned.
Even when Jiu'er is a bit nagging, it's a sweet complaint.
But the next day, Jiu'er returned from visiting relatives and friends, and that very night, Xu Damao's wailing voice came from the Xu family.
According to his neighbors, Xu Damao was beaten until he cried.
Some neighbors thought about going in to try and persuade them.
But they all forgot what kind of personality Jiu'er originally had.
To put it simply, this is a family matter for the Xu family, and it's none of our business for outsiders to interfere.
They blocked all the neighbors' way out of the way.
They've been neighbors for so many years, and everyone knows Jiu'er's personality, so not many families would blame her.
However, some male compatriots, seeing Xu Damao's bruised thighs and swollen waist, felt a sense of shared sorrow.
He Yuzhu glanced at Jiu'er, who was busy in the kitchen with Liu Ting.
He couldn't help but chuckle at Xu Damao, "Does your Jiu'er still beat you up now?"
He felt a little uncomfortable.
At Xu Damao's rate of donations, his monthly donations would be equivalent to his salary.
This gave He Yuzhu the illusion that he was the only incompetent person in his social circle.
It's a very simple matter. Needless to say, the instant noodle factory in Yushui has donated a lot, and Liu Ting's restaurant must have donated a lot as well.
Damn, he's the only headmaster.
From the beginning until now, he has only donated one hundred yuan.
There was no other way; at home, Liu Ting was in charge, and at the college, he also had to consider the feelings of other faculty and staff.
Some donations aren't something you can just donate as much as you want.
He Yuzhu, however, was willing to donate a month's salary.
It wouldn't be a problem to have him donate every month.
Anyway, he doesn't live off this salary.
But if he does that, what will happen to the other teachers?
Although the salary and benefits at the CNC academy are considered good compared to others in the industry, there are still many people who struggle to make ends meet.
This is unlike when he was first reborn, when he was just a small cook.
No matter how much he donated back then,
Others might give him a slightly higher opinion, but he doesn't have much influence.
But his influence now is different from before.
To put it bluntly, he usually has a blank expression most of the time at school.
If you run into a familiar student, you can even exchange a few jokes.
But when interacting with faculty and staff, even a smile or a casual remark can make them overthink things.
That's just how things are in the workplace.
As for the money being in Liu Ting's hands, then thinking about donating it or anything like that.
He Yuzhu was also afraid of trouble.
Liu Ting can easily donate 800 or 1000 yuan herself.
But when He Yuzhu asked her for thirty or fifty yuan, Liu Ting started nagging quite a bit.
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household.
He's generous to outsiders though...
And so on.
This is what married life is like.
Even when she complained, Liu Ting's words didn't reflect her true feelings.
But if He Yuzhu tries to explain or argue, he'll only be asking for trouble.
If he angers Liu Ting, he might end up like Xu Damao.
Xu Damao's expression froze, and all his smugness and pride vanished.
He glared at He Yuzhu with a hint of annoyance and embarrassment, in a very obvious way.
This friend is no good; he always brings up the most sensitive topics.
He really didn't want to cry that day.
The key issue is that everything Jiu'er heard was true.
For example, he would take a camera to Beihai Park, pretend to be a cultured young man, and flirt with some young women.
This point cannot be refuted.
So when Jiu'er beat him, he had no power to fight back. If he didn't cry and make a scene, Jiu'er wouldn't stop.
He just toughed it out; with his wife's fierceness, she had no idea how strong she was.
It hurts.
Every time he got beaten up, he couldn't sleep well that night.
This is like a vicious cycle.
More importantly, Jiu'er's criticism of him focused on his flirting with young women.
Like Xu Damao setting up businesses for his 'son' Song Jiefang, which now earns him over ten thousand yuan a month.
Jiu'er wasn't mentioned at all.
This is already giving Xu Damao a lot of face.
If it were any other woman, she would have made a huge fuss over this, it would have been impossible for her not to cause a huge uproar.
This made Xu Damao feel guilty, and he really didn't dare to fight back against Jiu'er.
"Brother, you should be able to go to the VIP stage this time, right?" Xu Damao knew that arguing with He Yuzhu about this would be humiliating.
So we changed the subject.
Now it was He Yuzhu's turn to turn pale.
He squinted at Xu Damao for a long while, and seeing that Xu Damao's eyes were clear and he meant no harm, he finally gave a soft "hmm" in response.
"How many years has it been since our family did something like this?"
This time it will definitely be very impressive.
Tsk tsk...
"Brother, if I had worked hard and performed well back then, would I have been able to get a spot on the VIP stage now?" Xu Damao said this with more envy than anything else.
He Yuzhu couldn't help but frown.
He didn't want to bring it up. Every family has its own problems, and Liu Ting had been arguing with him about this issue these past few days.
For He Yuzhu, being able to read B on the VIP stage was naturally an honor.
Moreover, this time, the review of B was highly praised in his previous life.
Later, our family did it a few more times, and the equipment became more and more advanced, but compared with the battle-hardened troops that have now withdrawn from the front lines.
Ordinary people felt it lacked a certain menacing aura.
The ordinary people mentioned here include He Yuzhu.
But now Lou Xiao'e brings He Xinghua along, and they also sit in the VIP section.
Although they certainly wouldn't stand in one group.
But he got in, Lou Xiao'e and her son could get in, but Liu Ting couldn't.
That's a bit like bullying someone.
No amount of compensation, no matter how much, can make up for Liu Ting's sadness during this period.
Of course, Liu Ting's sadness is simply that she smiles less and talks less lately.
If He Yuzhu weren't so perceptive, he wouldn't have noticed.
But what could he do?
Even if he doesn't say it, He Yuan and Xiao Song, who know the ins and outs, will tell.
Many things simply cannot be hidden.
Let alone Xiao Song and He Yuan.
It's just rainwater, but because he's known as the "first person to donate to the Asian Games".
She also managed to snag a spot to watch the show live.
There would definitely be some hospitality coming up, and He Yuzhu couldn't possibly ignore Xinghua and her son.
The thought of the family gathering together, without Liu Ting present...
He Yuzhu's teeth ached just thinking about it.
It's obvious.
He Yuzhu can go, and He Yuan, as a representative of the arts, can also go.
Xiao Song can go, Yu Shui can go...
Liu Ting can't go!
How can He Yuzhu make amends for this?
"Jiu'er!"
"Jiu'er!" Upon thinking of this, He Yuzhu's mood immediately soured.
He started yelling and shouting into the kitchen.
The plump Jiu'er poked her head out, her questioning gaze meeting He Yuzhu's.
He Yuzhu laughed and asked, "Did Da Mao take you to take some group photos?"
I've heard that Da Mao is a really good photographer!
Let's cause trouble!
Anyone can do that. (End of Chapter)
