Chapter 12: Brother-in-law who insists on avenging his past revenge)
Chapter 12
"Deli, what are you doing, mother, this is the wish of my daughter and husband, just accept it." My sister Yang Wan couldn't help but said anxiously.
Yang Qian was the first to salute his sister and brother-in-law, showing an awe-inspiring look.
"Sister-in-law, brother-in-law, the ten stones of rice and noodles you brought me can already represent my feelings.
It’s better for you to take this money back. My brother, I am also a rich person, how can I rely on other people’s relief to survive.”
"Yang Qian, I am your sister. Who is this other person? Mother, look at him..."
Hearing this, Yang Wan could not help but raise her eyebrows, and her eyes were a little red with anger. This bastard brother was indeed as unreasonable as ever.
Mrs. Han gently patted Yang Qian and signaled the stupid son who couldn't speak to stay aside. Then he smiled and held the aggrieved daughter and said Wen Yan.
"Your brother's words are not pleasant to listen to, but my mother thinks that what he did is right, and he is like a man who can earn his own living."
"It's not easy for you two. I'm afraid you have worked hard to save these fifty pounds. Mom accepted the food. But you should keep the money well and run your home well, otherwise Mom will also
angry."
Brother-in-law Chen Tai was silent for a long time, then suddenly saluted Yang Qian who was pushed aside.
"It seems that my brother-in-law has underestimated my brother-in-law."
"???" Yang Qian was a little confused. He was pushed aside by his mother just now. Why did you underestimate him again?
My sister Yang Wan and my mother Han were also a little confused. The whole family looked blankly at the brother-in-law Chen Tai who started to shake his head and sigh with emotion.
"The Master said: 'A gentleman seeks everything from himself, a villain seeks others'.
My brother-in-law’s actions just now confirm the words of the sages. He is indeed a gentleman who follows the words of the sages everywhere in his conduct..."
After hearing what brother-in-law Chen Tai said, the eyes of my sister and mother Han suddenly brightened up, and they began to admire this good brother and son with high moral character even though he was not very good at talking.
Yang Qian could only smile shyly on his face, reluctantly accepting such praise in his heart. It seemed that ever since he traveled through time, he had formed an undying relationship with the gentleman...

"Brother-in-law, the last time my brother-in-law and I came to your house to ask you for advice on chess skills, you killed me three times in a row. The tragic situation is still vivid in my mind."
"Brother-in-law, I learned a lot after returning home and honed my chess skills day and night. Since I met my brother-in-law again today..."
Yang Qian looked at the brother-in-law in front of him who was eager to get revenge. He didn't react for a long time. "What chess game?"
Seeing Yang Qian's innocent expression, the good-tempered brother-in-law Chen Tai explained.
"Of course it's Go. The last time I came to the house with your sister, you invited my brother-in-law to play and taught me a lesson with the words of a saint."
After saying that, brother-in-law Chen Tai was shaking his head and reciting a passage from the Analects of Confucius.
"The Master said: 'How difficult it is to be full all day long and have no intention of doing anything else! Is there no one who is interested in gambling? To do so is to be considered virtuous.'"
This means that Confucius said that it is not okay to eat all day long and do nothing but just be in a daze and act foolishly.
Aren't there other puzzle games like Toucaiqi? Playing them is better than sitting idle.
The winking Zhili hurriedly ran to get the chess equipment, while Yang Qian sat there with a melancholy look on his face.
At this moment, he really wanted to lie down on the cold floor, do push-ups until he could go back to the 21st century without any force.
Even if it's a one-handed pull-up on the horizontal bar, or running a half marathon, that's fine, but Go, haha...
I once played a game with my eight-year-old cousin who was studying in a children's Go class with my girlfriend. As a result, I was despised by my girlfriend and her little cousin for a whole afternoon. The psychological shadow still exists to this day.
"Brother-in-law, why do you look so ugly?"
Brother-in-law Chen Tai, who was sitting leisurely aside, looking forward to using his hard-finished skills to compete with this talented brother-in-law, couldn't help but ask with concern.
Facing the concerned expression of his brother-in-law, and looking at Zhili who came excitedly holding a chessboard and other things, Yang Qian suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, his eyebrows narrowed in pain, and he covered his heart with his hand and coughed several times.
"...I have just recovered from a serious illness, but I am not fully recovered yet."
Brother-in-law Chen Taishen nodded in agreement.
"I'm not feeling well yet, so I need to pay more attention to rest. I haven't been feeling well these days, and my throat hurts badly.
But fortunately, you and I don’t need to move to play Go. We only need to sit on the couch and play calmly. It is also a good pastime for patients like us.”
"..." Seeing that my brother-in-law is so persistent, Young Master Yang feels bad. He is just a chess player. Why is he so obsessed with it?
Do you still want my brother-in-law to chew the tip of my tongue and spray a mouthful of old blood on the chessboard to stop your immoral behavior of forcing people to play games?
#####
"I'm tired of playing Go." Yang Qian was silent for a long time and finally said this.
"How about we play a little game to pass the time."
"No need, the chessboard is all set."
My brother-in-law is very persistent. It seems that he was severely affected by Yang Qian's chess skills in the past. Today he is specifically trying to regain some ground.
"It doesn't matter, this little game is played with Go."
Yang Qian showed a calm master's smile, played with a chess piece, and said with a half-smile.
"Is it possible that my brother-in-law is worried that he can't win against my little brother even in small games?"
These words made my brother-in-law stunned, and then he started laughing.
"Hahaha, what a joke, am I the kind of person who can't afford to lose? Then what do you think?"
It's a pity that there is an extremely corrupt meaning in the laughter.
"It's very simple. Two people play a game. They take turns placing stones. The first one to connect five stones in a row wins."
As Yang Qian spoke, he placed the black and white pieces on the chessboard in turn and explained.
The rules of backgammon are originally very simple and easy to learn, and brother-in-law Chen Tai understood them after just reading them once.
"It turns out it's five consecutive pearls. Brother-in-law, I have also dabbled in it a little bit."
I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart. After all, my chess skills were far inferior to that of my brother-in-law. Last time, my brother-in-law gave up three of his sons and still won a complete victory.
Although I came today with the determination to avenge my shame, I still feel a little weak in my heart, fearing that my confidence will be shattered again. Now that my brother-in-law wants to win with such a simple game, hehehe...
Seeing his brother-in-law Chen Tai eagerly picking up the black ones and dropping them, Yang Qian couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the white ones, and dropped them close to the black ones.
Although Yang Qian is a loser in the puzzle game Go, Gobang is definitely the leading figure in the sports academy.
The true gentleman Zhili and the housekeeper Uncle Song, who were watching the chess game without saying a word, could not help but show admiration on their faces. They did not expect that the young master was not only good at writing poetry, but was also quite accomplished at the game of Go.
Unexpectedly, even a small game like Five consecutive beads can be played easily, killing brother-in-law Chen Tai, sweating like rain, and being defeated.
