Sister-in-law comes for treatment

Chapter 990 A full stomach gives you the energy to bite.

Xia Lin nodded: "You're right, you're related by blood, even if you break bones, the tendons are still connected."

"Relatives like you, some of whom haven't been in contact for over a decade, are like brothers who would fight tigers together if you ever reconnected."

Although Liu Bin spoke confidently, he was still somewhat unsure of himself. After hearing Xia Lin's words, he thought about it carefully and realized that she was right.

He smiled and said, "My cousin is young and doesn't know any better, but his parents are here. Okay, I won't say anything more, I'm going home now."

I'm going to Shuijing Village tomorrow.

Xia Lin waved her hand: "Then I'll head back first, I have to go."

Xia Lin said goodbye to Liu Bin and walked towards the shopping mall across the street.

Wang Tiezhu's words just now made him feel very insecure, and it was not the case that he should compete fairly with other bidders.

In recent years, he has undertaken many projects, but there has been no such thing as fair competition.

Almost all of them used connections or money to get ahead, and only after knowing the bid price did they submit their bids.

Otherwise, you'll just be a runner-up, wasting your time.

After entering the mall, I found the high-end gift stall and bought ginseng, cordyceps, abalone, sea cucumber, Moutai liquor, and Huazi cigarettes... I bought the best of everything.

As I walked out of the mall carrying my purchases, I felt much more confident.

When Liu Bin got home, he saw his father playing cards and his mother cutting beef in the kitchen.

He sat down on the sofa, thinking about his trip to Wang Tiezhu's house tomorrow.

Zhang Hong came out of the kitchen, saw her son, and said with a smile, "I bought some yak meat from Qinghai. I bought it online. It was freshly slaughtered. The meat is tender, tastes good, and has no fishy smell."

It's simmering in the pot, it'll be ready in a bit.

Liu Bin had no appetite for beef, but he had an idea: "Mom, once the yak meat is cooked, put it in a disposable lunchbox."

I use it when I visit relatives.

Zhang Hong roughly understood: "You're going to visit your mother-in-law, right? Well... give them half, and keep the other half for your son."

At the mahjong table, Liu Dong pursed his lips, noting that his son always liked to take things to his mother-in-law's house.

He can't say it yet, because if he does, they'll start arguing.

We haven't even eaten the pot of yak meat yet, and we're already taking it away.

But he didn't dare say anything more, and could only slam the mahjong tiles in his hand heavily on the table: "Six of Bamboo!"

The three card players saw this and knew what it meant, but they pretended not to see it and continued playing cards in silence.

Liu Bin smiled and said, "Mom, you've misunderstood. This time it's not for your mother-in-law's family. You haven't visited my second aunt's family in a long time. Pack the beef up."

I'm going to my second aunt's house.

Let's move around a bit.

what?

Zhang Hong was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "You...you're serious...okay...okay, actually, all I have to do is go."

"You don't need to take anything, just go."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dong immediately lost his temper: "Liu Bin, what's wrong with you? You haven't been in touch with their family for so many years. What are you going to do at their house?"

Once we got in touch with that family, they would come to our house every day, dressed in tattered clothes, carrying unwanted bent cucumbers and grinning tomatoes... endlessly.

Bringing those worthless things to our house is utterly shameful.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he asked for directions, as if afraid that the neighbors would not know that he was our poor relative.

As soon as I went downstairs, someone asked me where I was related to. I was so embarrassed.

Zhang Hong explained from the side: "My sister said that cucumbers are curved because they are not sprayed with pesticides, and tomatoes are naturally red. Occasionally they may crack, but that makes them taste better."

Those were grown in their fields; they're all organic and haven't been sprayed with pesticides.

Liu Dong said coldly, "Your ass is green, it's disgusting to look at. I'll tell you again, your poor relatives should stay away from our house."

It was a smoky, chaotic mess.

Zhang Hong sighed, her face contorted with pain, and stopped arguing.

Because he knew that if they argued, he would get scolded. Liu Dong had a pension, but she didn't, and she relied entirely on Liu Dong to support the family.

Without money, you lack confidence.

Liu Bin explained with a smile, "Dad, things are different now. My cousin has made a fortune. He's making a lot of money now."

Make a lot of money?

Liu Dong sneered: "You've been to school too. Go look through history, thousands of years of history. Have you ever seen a farmer with any real ability?"

Have you ever seen a farmer get rich?

I've lived to this age, I've seen through everything, and I understand everything.

Farmers are destined to suffer, but getting rich is the only thing that matters.

They'll never get rich, not even in their wildest dreams!

Liu Dong felt it necessary to explain: "Dad, their family has really struck it rich. I heard their assets are over 100 million!"

Liu Dong raised an eyebrow: "Hundreds of millions, hundreds of millions of Zimbabwean dollars?"

15,000 Zimbabwean dollars can be exchanged for one US dollar, while hundreds of millions of Zimbabwean dollars can only be exchanged for less than 10,000 US dollars.

Is that what you call getting rich?

Me~

Liu Bin was speechless: "Dad, I'm telling the truth."

Liu Dong said irritably, "Nonsense! Let me tell you a truth: in this world, the upper class makes a living with their brains, the middle class makes a living with their skills, and the lower class makes a living with their physical strength."

Farmers are at the very bottom of the social hierarchy, relying on physical labor for a living, and they don't earn as much as those who carry bricks on construction sites.

They'll never be able to turn their lives around.

Wang Youfu is a complete idiot who toils in the fields. If his family ever gets rich, I'll gouge my eyes out of yours!

You~~

Liu Bin frowned. He had said those words before, but he had been slapped in the face.

I didn't expect my dad to say it too.

A strange feeling of absurdity washed over me: "Dad, would I lie to you?"

My landlord wanted to ask Wang Tiezhu for a favor and asked me to pull some strings so he could have dinner with Wang Tiezhu.

Because of this, my landlord also guaranteed me that the rent would not be raised for five years.

Now do you believe me?

what?

Liu Dong put down his cards and carefully examined his son's expression. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he frowned and said, "Impossible. How could his family possibly get rich?"

How can you get rich by farming?

That doesn't make sense!

Liu Bin couldn't understand it either, but that's just how it is: "Tomorrow I'll take braised yak meat to my second aunt's house."

"We haven't been in touch for so many years; this trip will be enough to re-establish contact."

Liu Dong was still somewhat incredulous and decided to go see for himself. Upon hearing that he was to bring braised yak meat, he said coldly, "No need to bring yak meat. I've only been there once since I married your mother."

I'll go there in person; that would be giving them face.

What gifts should I bring? I'll serve the yak meat later; my old friends who play cards with me are staying for dinner today.

Let's open another bottle of baijiu.

Let's have a few drinks.

Liu Bin thought it made sense; his father going would be giving them face. "Okay, let's all go as a family. That would be giving them face."

Zhang Hong stood up and walked towards the kitchen, tears silently streaming down her face.

Finally, I can visit my sister's family again. I'm getting old, and I don't have many years left to live. Every time I see her, it will be the last time.

Shepherd Town.

Wang Tiezhu pulled a chair out of the clinic, sat down at the door, and stared blankly at passersby.

After seeing off a patient, Li Shang came out of the room and asked, "Master, why do you look so worried?"

Wang Tiezhu shook his head and saw a dog wandering on the street. Cars sped by, and the black dog, frightened, tucked its tail and whimpered as it rushed over.

Wang Tiezhu frowned: "Whose dog is this? It's not even on a leash."

Li Shang shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe it was abandoned by someone. These days, there are many people who like dogs, but they can't stand the two things: cleaning up poop and walking the dog."

Moreover, there are many such people; they feed the animals for a few days and then abandon them.

A black, slender dog rested its front paws on a trash can by the door, stretching its neck as if looking for something to eat.

Looking at the dog, so thin it was skin and bones, its fur filthy, Wang Tiezhu inexplicably thought of his old apprentice, Shen Sanshi.

Thinking about how he was all alone and helpless after his divorce, like a stray old dog.

A pang of sadness welled up inside me, so I walked across the street to the convenience store and bought a few sausages.

I peeled it open, walked up to the dog, and called out, "Little Black, eat this!"

The black dog stopped searching, turned around, opened its mouth, stuck out its tongue, and panted as it looked at Wang Tiezhu and saw the sausage in Wang Tiezhu's hand.

It pulled its two front paws back from the trash can, wagged its tail, and ran to Wang Tiezhu.

They ran back and forth, frolicking happily.

I ran back and forth several times, lying on the ground with my head down, my butt sticking out, wagging my tail, staring at the sausage in Wang Tiezhu's hand.

Wang Tiezhu was about to throw it on the ground, but then he felt the ground was dirty, so he turned around and went into the clinic.

Seeing this, the black dog's eyes showed disappointment. It stood up pitifully, glanced back at the clinic, and walked dejectedly towards the trash can.

Wang Tiezhu walked out of the clinic with a piece of paper in his hand. He saw the black dog digging through the trash can again and called out, "Little Black, come back."

The black dog turned around, but this time it didn't wag its tail and run over. Instead, it looked at Wang Tiezhu with a pitiful expression.

Wang Tiezhu felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He couldn't bear to look at the dog's eyes. He squatted down, put the paper on the ground, and then placed the sausage on the paper: "Xiao Hei, come here."

Xiao Hei seemed to understand. It wagged its tail and rushed to Wang Tiezhu, sniffed the sausage, and took a bite.

Then they ran to the base of the wall and started eating.

After finishing his meal, he walked up to Wang Tiezhu again, looked up at him, and stared at him.

Wang Tiezhu smiled and squatted down, carefully reaching out to stroke the dog's head. The black dog didn't move, closed its eyes, and let him stroke it.

So obedient?

Wang Tiezhu was somewhat surprised. He peeled off another ham in his hand and fed it to the black dog.

The black dog sniffed the paper but didn't eat it. Instead, it ran to the piece of paper on the ground, stuck out its mouth, and touched the paper.

Then he looked up at Wang Tiezhu with longing eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Tiezhu suddenly understood: "You mean you want me to put the sausage on the paper?"

The dog touched the white paper on the ground with its mouth again, then looked up at Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu reached out and placed the sausage on the paper. The dog lowered its head and bit into it, then circled around Wang Tiezhu, its tail wagging incessantly, almost forming a flower shape.

Then he squatted down in front of the white paper and ate the sausage in a few bites.

Seeing this, Wang Tiezhu was even more pleased: "If you don't mind, come home with me."

The dog whimpered and rubbed its head against Wang Tiezhu's trouser leg.

It's like she's being coquettish.

?

Wang Tiezhu was shocked. The dog understood. For the first time, he felt like he could communicate with a dog. The surprise, astonishment, and joy filled his heart instantly.

He crouched down and patted the dog's head: "You're amazing. I wonder what else you can do?"

I always felt that this dog was intelligent, just like the police dogs I saw on TV.

However, he also knew that this dog was definitely not a police dog.

In a small place like Muyang Town, there isn't even a police dog base, let alone a police station.

Shepherd Town is too small.

The black dog walked to the clinic entrance and sat down.

Then he looked around warily, and just then, a patient walked toward the clinic.

Woof woof~~~

The black dog suddenly barked its teeth and barked twice at the customer.

The sound wasn't loud, and there was no lunging motion; it just called out twice.

It's somewhat like a warning.

The patient took two steps back in fright: "Why does your clinic keep dogs?"

Woohoo~

The dog lowered its head, whimpering as it ran to Wang Tiezhu, as if it had been wronged.

Wang Tiezhu was astonished. The dog seemed to be saying that it could guard the house, and that it understood it had made a mistake because the patient was angry and that the customer was not a bad person. It squatted down at his feet and whimpered pitifully.

Wang Tiezhu smiled and said to the customer, "Sorry, I just picked up this dog. It doesn't know any better. Please go inside, I'll take it away."

After saying that, he told the dog to get into the van and drove home.

His face beamed with joy, and he glanced at the dog in the passenger seat every now and then.

He thought of something happy: Liu Bin would definitely come to his house tomorrow, or maybe the day after.

He was too embarrassed to lay a hand on his mother, but he could shoo people away with the dog.

I can only imagine Liu Bin's pathetic state when he was chased by the dog.

He laughed even more heartily.

sunset.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Shuijing Village is like a paradise, with wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, roosters crowing, dogs barking, and children making noise.

Wang Tiezhu opened the car window and felt the cool mountain breeze.

The car stopped in front of the house.

Leading the dog into the yard, he pointed to the gate and said to the black dog, "You can't go out through this gate. If you do, you have to be on a leash."

You can do whatever you want at home.

Also, you are not allowed to bite unless I give the order.

Did you hear me?

Zhang Xia came out of the house and saw her son talking to a black dog. She smiled and said, "Whose dog is this? Can it understand what you're saying to it?"

Wang Tiezhu felt that Hei Tou could understand, but explaining this to his mother seemed a bit difficult, so he gave a perfunctory reply: "If you explain it enough, it will understand."

"This is the dog I found. He was scavenging through the trash in Shepherd Town, and he looked so pitiful, so I brought him home."

Zhang Xia looked at the black dog, which was dirty, with messy fur and was so thin it looked like skin and bones: "Hmm, it is quite pitiful. Let's bring it back. You've loved raising dogs since you were little, but you've been too busy with school to take care of it."

Now that I have time, I'll keep it.

Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. Your aunt called and said she's coming to visit us tomorrow.

"It's been so long, it's finally here. Tomorrow morning, take me to town to buy some wine and food, and make a good feast."

tomorrow?

Wang Tiezhu reached out and stroked Heizi's head, saying, "Good, just in time. Let's prepare a big meal for him."

Let him eat what he can't finish and then have to take it home.

Zhang Xia rolled her eyes at Wang Tiezhu: "What are you saying, kid? You'll regret it later. That's what you say to your enemies."

"Day after day, and she's still a college student."

Wang Tiezhu said with a smile, "I just want them to eat their fill, to show my warm welcome to them."

Zhang Xia snorted and said, "That's more like it. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

After saying that, he went into the kitchen.

Wang Tiezhu squatted down, stroked Hei Tou's head, and said with a serious face, "Hei Tou, eat well today. If you eat your fill, you'll have more energy to bite people tomorrow!"
