"Third brother, you bought all these things? Where did you get so much money? What on earth did you do?"
As soon as he entered the room, Hong Yanzheng started questioning him with his eyes wide open.
But the more anxious he was, the less anxious Hong Yanwu was. Without saying a word, as if he hadn't heard anything, he turned around and reached for the thermos bottle on the table.
Of course Hong Yanzheng knew that Hong Yanwu did it on purpose, and became even more angry. He grabbed his arm that was about to pour water and continued to press him relentlessly.
"It costs at least two hundred yuan to buy these things. Tell me quickly, what did you do to me?"
But he didn't expect that Hong Yanwu wouldn't accept this trick at all. He still drank water leisurely and just left him dry.
Hong Yanzheng saw this and was so angry that the veins on his forehead almost popped out, so he blurted out something that was a bit out of line.
"Living ancestor, please stop scaring me. I beg you, okay? Just tell me quickly..."
Seeing this scene, Hong Yanwu was also afraid that his elder brother would do something in a hurry, so he finally stopped teasing him.
"Tell me, I can't even drink water. Where else can it come from? Of course Quanzi and I earned it in Bincheng..."
"What did you two earn in Bincheng?"
"Yeah. It's ten yuan per person per day."
"Nonsense! Bincheng is not a golden mountain. How can you make so much money? What have you two done?
"I went to the sea to fish for seafood. I brought back a lot to my family. Let me tell you, those shrimps are as big as scallops. You have never seen them in your life. Okay, I'm going to get busy now. I'll wait for my mother later.
Come back and make seafood and braised noodles for you..."
Hong Yanwu made a few hasty remarks, thinking he had made his words clear, so he became a little impatient. He swallowed all the water in the cup in one gulp, put down the cup and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanzheng refused to give up even if he didn't get to the bottom of it, and actually caught him again.
"What's wrong! Don't leave! Why don't I believe it so much? You and Izumi are the same, and you can make so much money just by going to sea? Then aren't all fishermen rich?"
Hong Yanwu was also convinced by his elder brother's desire to get to the bottom of the matter, so he had to explain it in detail.
"Otherwise, you are ignorant. Not all fishermen are poor. Not only do they have to be graded according to their level, there are low and peak seasons, but it also depends on what you are fishing for. A real expert can go fishing for conches in the summer and spend a day on it.
We can make a net profit of more than 100 yuan, and the aquatic products company has to issue certificates to people. What Quanzi and I earn is nothing. But don’t underestimate it, our ability to "touch the sea" has exceeded seasonal restrictions. With the depth of anaerobic, with this
You can sink more than twenty meters in one breath, and what you catch are all sea treasures. Abalone, scallops, sea cucumbers, did you know?"
This reason really surprised Hong Yanzheng, especially when his younger brother said it so confidently, but it was indeed a bit vague.
"Hey, you're quite reasonable...then...isn't this illegal? The country allows you to earn so much money?"
Hong Yanwu sighed helplessly.
"My eldest brother, why don't you think it's too much? This is the money you have to pay for your life! The water under the sea is as cold as a knife. Look at my hands, they are full of holes! You think it is easy! I am serious about it now
Let me tell you, everything we fished out was sold to the state acquisition point. It was all fair and square money..."
"You...can I believe what you say? Can you still make clean money?"
Hong Yanzheng opened his mouth completely. He really didn't know what to say anymore and couldn't help but hesitate. But he didn't expect that this sentence was really hurtful, which made Hong Yanwu unhappy.
"It's over, it's over. You still don't believe me after saying so much, right? No one in my family doubts me, but you doubt me all the time. Well, I won't compete with you. Anyway, I didn't steal or rob. As for where the money came from, the purchase invoice
I will prove to the brigade that I have given it to my parents. If not, you can go into the house and ask your dad..."
After that, he ignored his elder brother and left the house alone. He continued to do what he had to do as usual, and went to pack up the New Year's goods with Chen Liquan and Hong Yanru.
Hong Yanzheng stood alone in the room for a while, then stamped his feet and actually opened the door and went to the north room.
But when he went out after a while, not only was his previous energy gone, but he also felt a little bit embarrassed.
Seeing this, Hong Yanwu was very happy. In line with the principle of being reasonable and not letting others go, he immediately stopped and moved closer to his elder brother, deliberately shaking his head.
"Boss, I asked Dad and the truth came out. Can you apologize to me in public and clear up my name? Otherwise, I would be wronged. Just to help the family, I got scolded by you in vain...
…”
But Hong Yanzheng was a stubborn person who would "stand in the wind and freeze to death, or starve to death without bending down". Although he was still a little apologetic at first, just because he heard Hong Yanwu say this, all the regrets were lost to the Swamp Frog Kingdom.
He became so angry that he even deliberately attacked him forcefully.
"Help the family? You should help the family! You haven't been home for almost a year. Do you know how anxious we all are for you? Why do you still want to take credit! Third brother, don't be ignorant, I am all
For your own good! What’s the matter with saying a few words to you? Even if I say something wrong, correct it if it’s wrong, and try harder if it’s not. Do you understand? Besides, even if you earned this money, where are you with the tickets to buy things?
Come here? So much pork and eggs can be given to you for free? You’ve confused others, but you can’t confuse me..."
Hong Yanwu rolled his eyes after hearing this.
"What are you confused about? Who am I confused about? We have friends in the vegetable market. What's the point of buying this little thing? If it weren't for the fear of not being able to eat and spoiling it, I would get the whole pig back for you..."
Hong Yanzheng curled his lips with disdain.
"Drink, even the whole pig, not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue. How much money do you think you are worth, and how much face do you think you have? Why have I never heard of you having such a friend? If you have the ability, you should show off your skills, you
What's your friend's surname, name, and where he lives? Dare you tell me..."
"Boss, you're out of steam. Yes, I didn't know him in the past. But there's nothing ready-made, why don't you find it first? It's hard to do this with just my mouth and stuffing people with something.
.You have to be flexible as a person and don’t go into blind alleys..."
After hearing this, Hong Yanzheng grasped the topic, clapped his hands and reprimanded him again.
"What did I say? I just went home. Without taking any detours, you went straight to the gangsters. You are really capable, and you have learned how to use the back door to engage in unhealthy practices! Why don't you learn from the good ones and only learn from the bad ones?
What? Besides, I won’t even look at the things you buy, canned food, fruit wine, first-grade soy sauce, live chickens and ducks. Are those things that we ordinary people eat? Do you understand if you are thrifty and simple? This money is enough to buy frozen meat.
I’ve been eating for a year. The most annoying thing is that you bought so many firecrackers, which cost us two months’ salary! You have money to burn buns but no place to spend them, right? You are a waste of money..."
Hong Yanwu frowned and complained loudly.
"Oh, being your brother is so tiring! Damn it, I bought something again! I said boss, why are you so prejudiced against me? Who do you think doesn't do this now? But you just give it to me.
Go online. If you have the ability, you should take care of others. Don't always act like a policeman at home and just attack me. You still call me a prodigal? I didn't spend your money. Why do you feel bad? Besides, why can't our family eat it?
Did you use something good? Buy firecrackers, what’s wrong with buying firecrackers? In time for the Chinese New Year, my parents also adopted Quanzi as their godson. These are all happy events, shouldn’t they be celebrated? I still think I bought too little.
In my opinion, you should stop treating yourself like a moral guardian and talk less about big principles. It will be good for family harmony..."
"Bah! Being your big brother is so tiring! Do you think I want to meddle in your business? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid that you can't live without the dirty smell and harm other people's springs!
"
In fact, the argument between the two brothers was nothing at all, because Hong Yanwu was thick-skinned and just deliberately teased his eldest brother, so he didn't think it was really urgent.
But it's easy to get out of control when talking in a hurry, especially the last sentence about Chen Liquan, which just stung Hong Yanwu's most sensitive nerve, making him really angry for a moment, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Boss, I'm not angry with you at first. But your words are too hurtful? How can I harm Quanzi, and I have to love being dirty and smelly? Do you insist on treating me like spit? I wish you could
I am satisfied that the people of the whole country have completely despised me! You have been standing in front of me like a wall since you were a child. You don't care what I do. You have almost become a "ghost building a wall". Don't forget, you are just my big brother.
, not my dad!”
When it comes to these words, it really feels a bit like "Qiang Qiang". Both brothers are really excited.
Fortunately, the bystanders were clear, and no one present wanted them to continue like this. They all quickly intervened to prevent the situation from getting worse.
"Xiao Wu, you are so worried! Isn't it because the elder brother is worried about us two that he said such angry words..."
Because the words involved him, Chen Liquan was of course the most anxious. He first tried to persuade Hong Yanwu. Then, he immediately turned around and comforted Hong Yanzheng.
"Brother, don't worry. We have all remembered your words. In fact, we have already promised each other that we will never do anything wrong again. If nothing else, Xiao Wu is also thinking about you. I will go to the department store today to give you a message.
You bought new shoes and socks, why don't you go inside and try them..."
Then, Hong Yanru also spoke, and both sides persuaded him.
"Brother, why didn't you have a good meal this morning? Don't be so arrogant to the third brother. You see, the third brother and Quanzi brother have been away from home for so long, and they were busy buying things for the family just after they came back. It's not easy for them.
Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work. No matter how reasonable you are, you have to be considerate of other people’s feelings..."
"Third brother, don't be angry with eldest brother. In fact, during the more than half a year since you were away from home, all the big and small things at home have been supported by your eldest brother and sister-in-law. It's not easy for them to always think about you.
…”
Just like that, after hearing the persuasion from both sides, the two Hong brothers looked at each other and said nothing. They also realized that they were indeed a little impulsive just now, and closed the gate in time.
Normally, this matter should have ended here, but at this moment, six-year-old Hong Yun actually became the final trigger.
This kid jumped out from nowhere, wielding a submachine gun, and with the muzzle of the gun, he pointed at Hong Yanzheng righteously and "spurts" while shouting.
"Bad dad! Why are you bullying your third uncle! If you buy firecrackers, just buy firecrackers! Hit you, hit you..."
For a father, there is probably nothing that makes him feel more sad, sad and ashamed than his own son's disobedience and turning his elbows outward.
The scene in front of him certainly made Hong Yanzheng furious. He was as angry as a lion in the courtyard. He stretched out his big hand and grabbed Hong Jun, took the gun from his son's hand and threw it on the ground. Then he took off his pants and screamed loudly.
He was slapped twice and cursed loudly.
"I bribed you with a broken gun and a few firecrackers! Why are you so worthless! I'll let you have a long memory!"
How could that little person withstand such a heavy hand? He started howling like a pig on the spot. "Third Uncle" and "Sister-in-law" screamed for help.
Of course Hong Yanwu wanted to stop him. "Brother, if you want to beat me, if you can't beat me, let me reason with you. Why are you so angry with your child?"
Hong Yanru couldn't help but advise. "Brother, please be gentle, what does he know at such a young age..."
Even Quanzi said, "Don't hit him. Children are spoiled. Just talk about it. It's not worth it to control your anger..."
But Hong Yanzheng was extremely angry. He couldn't allow his son to step on his face like this, let alone let him go easily just because of other people's persuasion! Otherwise, what's the point? From now on, this kind of "killing relatives for justice" must become the norm!
What's more, Hong Jun didn't say a word to him to admit his mistake or ask for mercy. Instead, he started calling him mom, grandma, and grandpa. That shameless look on his face was just like Hong Yanwu's childhood. If he continues to let things go, his son will have to learn bad things.
Awesome!
How long has it been since the third child came back, and his son has become like this! No, I have to straighten the child out today! Let him know what I am and what dad is!
In this way, the three people's dissuasion had no effect at all, but instead poured gasoline on Hong Yanzheng's anger. Hong Yanzheng even ignored Hong Lucheng's shouting through the window.
In the end, he paid no attention to anyone and only said in front of everyone, "No one can save him today! I am responsible for my own son. Even if I kill him, it is better than another crooked-necked tree growing in the Hong family!"
Then, like a chicken between his legs, he forced the "little sapling" into the east room to "carefully cultivate" it.
Just when the door was closed, a louder howling began, accompanied by a "pop" sound. To describe it in one word, it was "storm"!
Naturally, the three people standing in the courtyard felt quite uncomfortable. No one was interested in doing anything. They looked at each other and couldn't help but feel the pain for Hong Jun's butt.
After a long while, the movement in the room gradually stopped, and Hong Yanwu finally spoke.
"Why are both father and son so stupid? Did they feed too much when they were young? One is overestimating his own ability and jumping out to meddle in other people's affairs. He does not accomplish enough and is asking for trouble. The other is using his own son to show off his authority, just for pleasure and no care.
The consequences. The boss doesn’t even think about when our Hong family has ever beaten a child, not to mention that Hong Jun is our parents’ pet peeve. He actually dares to refute our father’s face in public and do this to disgrace the Hong family. Old man
Can you spare him lightly? Do you think so?"
Chen Liquan grinned and didn't dare to challenge him at all.
Hong Yanru looked at the window of the north room and sighed.
"Third brother, I didn't tell you... just stop being so angry..."
