Chapter 1151 We are still good brothers
"This all sounds new—"
Li Xuewu picked up his daughter from the ground with amusement, looked at his sister-in-law with a helpless face and asked, "Is everyone at home okay?"
"No one is hurt. Fortunately, there were many people in the hospital at that time."
Zhao Yafang looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you sure this girl has no problem with her brain?"
"I'm not a doctor. You came here to see the patient, and you're asking me?"
After listening to Wang Lu's story, Li Xuewu is no longer so sure whether this girl has any problem with her brain.
But he was good at shifting the blame and putting the blame on others, saying that Zhao Yafang had inspected the goods and now she wanted to blame him?
Zhao Yafang also felt that her abilities over the years had been in vain, and she muttered, "She looked quite well-behaved at the time, and spoke in a gentle and energetic manner. Who would have thought..."
Yes, who would have thought that such a lovely girl would set her boyfriend’s house on fire the first time she visited him.
"So, Uncle Zhao really intended to rebuild the house?"
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "It seems that you have been busy last year. Now that the new daughter-in-law has come, we have to do something."
"Even if you want to build a new house, you don't have to burn down the old one, right?"
When Zhao Yafang thought of this, she was also amused by the girl. She had originally felt a little awkward about this. It was Li Xuewu who introduced her, but she was still worried so she went to the Red Star Factory to see her in person.
The results of it?
"My dad was talking about building a house. Many families in the village have built brick and tile houses."
Zhao Yafang introduced: "Especially when Yajun is dating someone, he means that he can't let Yajun lose face, even if they don't live in his house anymore."
"How pitiful are the parents in the world—"
Li Xuewu nodded and asked, "Is the money for building a house convenient?"
"That's enough. My grandparents have been busy growing vegetables and raising dogs for the past year. This is finally a chance to make some money."
Zhao Yafang sighed and said, "Villagers are like this. They are afraid of poverty, have suffered a lifetime of hardship, and finally have a day to get out of it."
"My uncle's family also built a brick house this year, saying that it was for Yin Qun to marry a wife. But I don't know what Yin Qun thinks, as he hasn't found a partner yet."
"You worry about everyone's life, just know that they are living well--"
The eldest brother Xuewen came out from the inner room, still holding a book and a teacup in his hands. It was obvious that he was thirsty from reading and couldn't put the book down.
He just has this kind of enthusiasm, he can never finish reading this book and can never get enough of it.
"I told you to just think about not having any trouble with your relatives, right?"
Zhao Yafang glared at him, clapped her hands at Li Shu in Li Xuewu's arms, and said, "Come, let Auntie hold you, and let your father rest."
Li Shu is so annoying. When she couldn't walk, she struggled to crawl on the ground and play. After she learned to walk, she wanted to run. After she could run, she was too lazy to walk again. When she saw adults, she wanted to be held.
Naturally, she has a good relationship with her aunt. She grew up here since she was a child. When Zhao Yafang was not pregnant, she spent more time taking care of her, and the mother and daughter are very close.
Zhao Yafang's straightforward personality attracted Li Shu very much. The little girl sometimes even imitated her aunt's way of speaking, especially her tone and expression.
At this moment, Zhao Yafang wanted to hug her, but she hesitated for a moment, then reached out to grab her uncle for a hug. Li Xuewen was also surprised because he was not liked by the children at home.
"You little traitor, your majesty loves you in vain—"
Zhao Yafang handed her over to Li Xuewen who came to pick up the child, and patted Li Shu's butt with a smile.
Li Xuewen once thought about raising this child. After all, his younger brother was not married at that time, which showed that he liked girls.
Especially the little girl is cheerful and cute, much better than the naughty boy. Even though she feels strange looking at her own son, she still likes Li Shu when she sees her.
"I want, I want my uncle to take me to buy delicious food——"
Li Shuke never suffers any loss. I let you hold me, so you must take me to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy delicious food. She has many ideas.
"Why are you so devilish——!"
Zhao Yafang smiled and tapped her little hand and said, "No, Auntie has the final say. Your uncle has no money."
She took Li Shu's hand and said, "If you say something nice to me, I'll take you there, okay?"
"me……"
Li Shu hesitated and looked at the aunt, then looked at the uncle, deliberately hiding from the aunt and whispered in the uncle's ear: "Uncle, do you really have no money?"
The child, who is less than three years old, knows that she needs money to buy delicious food, and she also knows how to hide from people and ask questions. This little girl is the smartest one in the compound.
Li Xuewen teased her intentionally, nodded seriously and said, "Yes, there is no money in uncle's pocket, it's all in your aunt's pocket."
"Then--then--what shall I do?"
Li Shu clenched her hands, frowned and said: "Uncle, you are too poor——"
"Hahaha--"
Li Xuewen couldn't help laughing and coaxed Li Shu, "What should we do? Your aunt took away all the money that uncle earned, and she has to support your brother Li Tang."
"Li Tang is still young——"
Li Shu picked at her fingers and whispered, "He can't go any smaller now."
"Ah, Li Tangxiao, can't we go to a smaller place to buy food? I can use the money to buy it for you first."
Zhao Yafang tapped her little feet and said, "You are so smart. Who did you learn this from?"
The old lady taught me that the supply and marketing cooperative is not called a supply and marketing cooperative, but a small one.
Actually, it should be called a small shop, but Li Shu found it convenient and comfortable to pronounce, so she called it that name.
"Hey hey hey-"
Li Shu didn't say anything either. She hugged her uncle's neck and muttered something. No one knew what she said. The more Li Xuewen listened, the happier he became. This child was really fun.
Zhao Yafang pulled her little hand and asked, "Tell me, tell me why you want your uncle to take you to Xiaodian?"
"Hahaha--"
Li Shu didn't answer, but Li Xuewen smiled and explained: "She told me that her aunt didn't buy her firecrackers, so she asked me to buy them for her, hahahaha."
"Well, it must be those naughty kids from Banggeng who made her laugh. She has remembered this thing."
Zhao Yafang explained to Li Xuewu: "Last time, when she saw those kids playing with firecrackers in the yard, she was startled, turned around and ran over to ask them for some firecrackers, and wanted to light them and hear the noise."
"I took her to the supply and marketing cooperative. I don't know how she could be so sharp. I didn't even notice it, but she immediately spotted it and insisted that I buy it for her."
She patted Li Shu who was avoiding Li Xuewu's gaze and said, "Little girl, you will be like a naughty boy sooner or later, even more naughty than a boy. Let's see how your father will control you when the time comes."
"It's almost out of control. Those who can run and jump disappear in a flash——"
Li Xuewen held Li Shu in his arms and walked around the house, thinking of their brothers' growth experiences. He smiled and said with emotion: "Li Tang will be able to run on the ground in a few months. By then, we will have three naughty kids in our family."
"I'm not a naughty boy, I'm a little cat——!"
I don’t know who taught her this, but she knew that “naughty boy” was not a good word, but she took “little cat” as a good evaluation.
"Okay, okay, you are a little cat, hahaha——"
Zhao Yafang smiled and put on her small flowered cloth shoes, then took the child from Li Xuewen's hands and said, "Auntie, take the little cat to Xiaodian to buy some delicious food. Tell me, what delicious food do you want to eat?"
"aunt--"
Seeing that the old lady loved her, Li Shu knew that she was getting close to her. She hugged Zhao Yafang's neck and asked coquettishly, "I want to eat firecrackers!"
------------------
"Why are there only three of you at home?"
Li Xuewu made himself a cup of tea, turned around and gestured to his eldest brother with the cup in his hand, asking him if he wanted some, and casually asked, "Where are the old ladies?"
"In the backyard, I took a nap and went out as soon as I woke up."
Li Xuewen yawned. It seemed that he was sleepy again due to the hot weather. He had not worked for a year. This kind of life with a fat master, a fat dog and a fat girl made him a little lazy.
"Where are you coming from? To the club?"
He took the teacup, yawned again, then sat down at the eight-immortals table, casually flipping through the book he had put down earlier.
"Yes, I have some work to take care of." Li Xuewu didn't mind the tea being hot. He blew on it and drank it in small sips. He was so hot that sweat appeared on his forehead, but the summer heat dissipated in an instant, and he felt much more energetic.
"I told them that if you want to go over there to play, you can go anytime."
Li Xuewu stretched out the stool opposite the eight-immortal table, holding the teacup in his hand, looked at his elder brother and said: "Don't you feel bored burying yourself in books all day long?"
"Life is boring, and interests are dull."
Li Xuewen rested his arm on the table, holding a teacup in one hand and a book in the other, and said casually, "How can it be considered boring to devote limited life to learning unlimited knowledge?"
"what--"
Li Xuewu grinned, glanced at his elder brother with a bored look, and asked, "If I ask you to go back to teach now, are you willing?"
"What do you mean? What news did you hear?"
After hearing his brother talking about this, he put down the book in his hand, looked at his brother in surprise and asked: "Didn't the newspaper say..."
"I don't have any news. I'm just asking casually." Li Xuewu put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "If you can't let go of this job, why don't you accept the invitation from the Vocational and Technical College?"
The office of the Red Star Factory Vocational and Technical College sent an invitation letter to Li Xuewen, but he declined it, saying it was inconvenient. He didn't say what the inconvenience was, but Li Xuewu understood.
The reason for the inconvenience was him. His younger brother worked in the factory, and the eldest brother felt that this invitation was closely related to him.
Li Xuewu was a typical intellectual with a little arrogance. He also found it very funny when he heard the report from the college office.
He didn't say anything, because it was not his intention to send an invitation letter to his eldest brother, and he didn't greet anyone else. Jingrong was the principal, so there was no need for him to greet anyone.
As for understanding Big Brother, Jing Rong used to be the office director of Huaqing. Doesn’t he know Big Brother’s teaching level better than him?
It doesn’t really matter whether this invitation has anything to do with him, but Li Xuewen knows very well that as long as he comes, people will gossip about him.
His situation is different from Li Xue's. Li Xue is younger and a girl, so she has to be taken care of by her brother. Everyone thinks it is natural.
But he is the eldest brother and a university teacher, so he has to have some integrity.
It's not like he has no job, nor is he starving and begging for food. He is very clear about his current situation. It's nothing more than the arrogance of a scholar and just whining without any reason.
So, facing his brother's question, Li Xuewen just thought for a moment and answered bluntly: "I don't want to go, and I don't want to cause you trouble."
Before Li Xuewu could say anything else, he emphasized, "I know you're not afraid of trouble, but I just think it's unnecessary."
He spread his hands and said, "I make much more money now than before, so why force it?"
"Just wait. I don't believe that the university will never resume classes, and I don't believe that I will have no books to teach."
"How long? Three years? Five years? What if it's eight years?"
Li Xuewu moved the teacup in front of him, looked at his elder brother and asked seriously, "Can you wait any longer? Don't you think you are wasting your life?"
"Are you okay?"
Li Xuewen had already figured out that his brother was going in circles and was not trying to persuade him to teach.
"If you have something to say, just tell me. Anyway, I won't go if it's difficult for me."
"Haha..." Li Xuewu laughed softly, "It seems that Huang Gan has given you too much. You don't have to bow down for a few pieces of silver anymore."
"Have you ever thought about doing scientific research?"
Without giving his elder brother time to think, Li Xuewu asked directly: "Physics is just right for your current condition."
"What project? Is it from your factory, or..."
Li Xuewen looked at his brother hesitantly. Seeing that he was speaking vaguely, he reminded him, "Physics covers a wide range. You know what I know. Just let me do scientific research."
"It doesn't matter. You are a university teacher. You can start from scratch."
Li Xuewu pursed his lips and said casually: "Physics is a circle. No matter how you pull this mill, it is within this range. How difficult can it be?"
"You can think about it. Anyway, there are no books to teach for a while, so you might as well do some practical work."
Seeing his elder brother's hesitation, he shrugged again and said, "Of course, if classes resume, you can come back to teach."
"I believe you?" Li Xuewen curled his lips and said, "This project is likely to be confidential. If I can't come back by then, how can I beat you up?"
He stared into his brother's eyes, with an expression that said "you even cheated your own brother" and asked, "Tell me the truth, is this a confidential project?"
"Actually... you know... what I mean is..."
"Okay, no need to say more, I know everything!"
As soon as Li Xuewu hesitated, Li Xuewen waved his hand and he understood everything.
They have been brothers for so many years, and he knows best what kind of person his younger brother is when he is doing bad things, and he doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
This is too much. A steel plant is always working on big projects. It would be fine if it cooperated with Huaqing in scientific research. After all, Huaqing's metallurgy major is pretty good.
However, they were involved in automobiles, ships, electronics, food, and all kinds of other things.
It is understandable if you say that these are just the business that enterprises must experience and enrich in the process of development, but what is the big deal about engaging in weapons production and imitating SVD?
This is not excessive. Do you think it is excessive for a steel plant to manufacture aircraft?
He just heard that the Red Star Factory was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more advanced.
Hearing his brother's hesitation just now, he already knew and had guessed long ago that at this stage of industrial development of the Red Star Factory, it would inevitably be involved in confidential projects.
How could he, who is lazy by nature and loves reading, be willing to work on a confidential project? That would be pushing himself into the fire pit.
"No, no, the prison is preparing to launch a new project and I have to take charge of the technical part. I can't leave."
"hehe--"
Li Xuewu spread his hands indifferently and said, "Whatever. If you are afraid of being restricted, then you can stay in a prison. It will suit your habits."
"Don't try to trick me. I said I won't go, so I won't go."
Afraid that Li Xuewu would continue to flirt with him, or perhaps afraid that his willpower was not that strong, Li Xuewen just said he would not leave, picked up his teacup and book, and went to the inner room.
Li Xuewu picked up the teacup, looked at his brother's back and smiled.
No one saw it, but if anyone had seen it, they would have said his smile was like a fox's.
Really, he even betrayed his own people!
------------------
"Why are you back again?"
As soon as Li Xuewu came back yesterday, he was in the back room. Shen Guodong and others pulled him aside to talk, but when he saw his younger brother Li Xuecai came back, he didn't have time to talk to him.
When he got up in the morning, he went to the front to have breakfast, but was pulled away by Sha Zhu to talk. When he returned home, Li Xuecai was nowhere to be seen again.
I told him last week that he would be contacted if there was any news at school, so he didn't need to worry about what was happening down the mountain.
Li Xuewu also told Ji Yuxiu not to let Li Xuecai come back. This kid is still very unruly. Although he has some understanding and precautions about things in the society, he still has no experience.
Ji Yuxiu naturally understood what her second brother meant, and agreed with and supported his point of view.
So when he saw his third brother, he frowned a little.
Li Xuecai was afraid of his second brother. He was afraid of him before and he is still afraid of him now.
He was afraid before because his second brother was willing to beat him. Now he is afraid because his second brother is willing to beat others.
It's fine when he's laughing and joking on weekdays. Even if he doesn't dare to make random jokes, he won't get nervous when they meet.
But now his second brother glared at him, and he stood there not daring to move.
"Um... I went to see my classmates..."
Li Xuecai looked at his second brother hesitantly, then looked at Ji Yuxiu beside him, and then continued to explain: "Zhao Xia is injured."
"Injuried?"
Li Xuewu looked at his brother and asked, "Is the injury serious?"
Of course it was serious, otherwise Li Xuecai would not have risked being scolded by his second brother to come down the mountain to visit Zhao Xia just because Zhao Xia was injured.
Li Xuewu also thought of this, so his tone softened a little.
Li Xuecai and Zhao Xia did not have a very close relationship, except that their fathers worked in the same unit and they were classmates in college.
It is said that their relationship has become much closer, and it was in the mountains that young people got together and inevitably developed friendships.
From any perspective, he should go down the mountain to take a look.
"Yes, an arm and a leg were broken."
Li Xuecai said in a somewhat depressed voice: "He is recovering in the hospital. His mother said..."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "It may be impossible to recover the necessary functions. Preserving the limb and not amputating it is our last effort."
"Half and half?"
Li Xuewu thought about what he said, split his palm, gestured and asked: "Is one side disabled, or both sides disabled?"
"Forehead--"
Li Xuecai was feeling very sad, but he didn't expect his second brother to ask such a question.
He paused, then answered: "Right arm, left leg."
"He said he was fighting over territory with others and got into a group fight. He was left alone and was beaten up by someone."
"He deserves it. He was trying to get you to do bad things last week!"
Ji Yuxiu said with disgust: "I have said it before, sooner or later he will hurt himself and others like this."
"He just likes this. He likes to join in the fun when he is in school."
Li Xuecai explained awkwardly: "Actually, he is not a bad person. If he really did something evil, I would not bother with him."
"What more evil do you want?"
Ji Yuxiu glanced at him and frowned, "Do you know what these people did in the city?"
"Even if he wasn't the mastermind, even if he didn't do anything, but he just stood aside and made a scene, isn't that evil?"
She pointed at her boyfriend and criticized him, "You are just inexperienced. You will never see the evil in society from your ivory tower."
Li Xuecai realized that his partner was right. Besides, his second brother was watching him, so he didn't dare to refute him. He just kept his head down and said nothing.
"Be more careful. You can't tell good from bad people, but you can always hear good from bad words, right?"
Ji Yuxiu scolded him and warned him, "He dragged you into this, and you came back to visit him. This favor is over now. Don't bother with him anymore!"
"Ah, I don't know what he wants to do."
Li Xuecai glanced at his second brother carefully. He understood why Ji Yuxiu scolded him at this moment. She didn't want her second brother to scold him, so she wanted to save his face.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether his second brother scolds him or not, he doesn’t have the courage to learn bad things.
"Even if you drag me there, I wouldn't dare to—"
He pulled the corner of his mouth and said in an aggrieved tone: "My father agreed to let me visit him. We are classmates, and my father and his father are colleagues."
"Just say, I heard the news, can I pretend I didn't hear it?"
Li Xuecai stood up, took the initiative to pour two glasses of warm water, handed one to Ji Yuxiu, took a sip himself, wiped his mouth, shook his head and continued: "There are still projects on the mountain. If you don't do this little favor, it will be embarrassing for Dad."
"But you saw it, too. Even if I went to visit him, I took you with me."
"Just understand it yourself—"
She had already explained these principles to Li Xuecai on the way back.
She didn't object to Li Xuecai interacting with his classmates, even if it was someone like Zhao Xia, she didn't say anything harsh.
However, Li Xuecai's situation is different from hers. She maintains clean social relationships and is not afraid of not being able to get ahead in the workplace.
No matter because of her second brother's care or her brother's relationship, no one dared to provoke her, but Li Xuecai was different.
The only connection the Li family has in the medical field is my father-in-law, Li Shun. But my father-in-law is just a doctor, with a very honest personality and no connections.
If Li Xuecai wants to develop in this system in the future, he must establish the right network of contacts, and his classmates are the only suitable opportunity he can grasp and develop at this stage.
However, Ji Yuxiu's warnings and requests to Li Xuecai were not unreasonable. She worked at a security guard station and had a clear understanding of the current situation and social conditions.
People like Li Xuecai are really hard to keep an eye on. Even if they are sold, they have to help count the money.
Not to mention the influence of Li Xuewu, no one dared to do anything bad to him. The thing that this city lacked the least was conspiracy.
How capable is Li Xuecai? These open and covert attacks are obviously aimed at his family, at his second brother, or even further, at her family and second sister-in-law's family...
So, don’t say that she was strict in disciplining Li Xuecai. It can only be said that as she came from a cadre family, she knew all these intrigues too well.
When she started working as a teenager, her family felt at ease and left her in the care of her brother who was a night wanderer. It was not because they did not love her, but they knew she had the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
"Okay, you know what's going on. Go back as soon as you can if you find a car tomorrow morning."
Li Xuewu said something to him, which summarized the matter and saved Ji Yuxiu from scolding Li Xuecai again.
"What is this? Die before achieving your goal?"
When he thought of Zhao Xia, who was like a hairy rabbit, following Nie Xiaoguang and others in a carefree manner, he knew that something would happen to this kid sooner or later.
A college student, who comes from such a good family, does not study hard and delve into technology, but rides a bicycle to the city to hang out with those people and gets involved in such trouble. Isn't that asking for trouble?
With their background and qualities, they are nothing compared to those gangsters and old soldiers. They can be knocked down in one encounter.
They didn't have the training experience that the veterans had, nor did they have to struggle in the mud like the kids who grew up in the alleys. They put down their books and competed with these two groups. Do you think they are mentally ill?
Of course, it was because Zhao Xia had a relationship with Li Xuecai that Li Xuewu said these few words. If one really investigates, it seems that fools like Zhao Xia are not uncommon.
If you don’t believe it, just ask: how many college students were there before the suspension of classes? How many college students returned after the resumption of classes? Where did the missing ones go?
What the hell, they are already halfway through college. If they really get the news and have this opportunity, can they not come back to continue their studies?
All we can say is that a person's fate is determined by heaven, and even if Wenquxing comes to earth, there will be times when he will turn back halfway.
"Remember, tell your dad when you get home and tell him not to ask about this."
Li Xuewu told his brother, "If Zhao Xia's father needs help, he will tell me directly."
"If you don't tell me directly, then don't respond."
"Got it, second brother. I'll tell dad when I get back."
Li Xuecai's greatest strength is that he is obedient. He knows how to remain modest and cautious in areas he is not good at. Although he is a little naive, he is not stupid. He knows how to listen to his family members and he knows that his brothers are all doing this for his own good.
After finishing his instructions, Li Xuewu stood up and walked out.
While he was talking, he saw He Yushui pass by the door twice. If he didn't go out, he would come to look for him soon.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"Aren't you on vacation?"
Li Xuewu looked at the exhausted He Yushui and frowned slightly, saying, "Don't tell me you have been squatting in the house raising pigs these days."
"Vacation, I want to take a vacation, preferably a lifetime vacation--"
He Yushui stared at him and asked, "Aren't you a role model for the young people in the hospital? Aren't you a representative of the young people in the factory? Aren't you what they call a smart person?"
"Don't you understand my thoughts?"
She pushed Li Xuewu, her eyes full of complicated expressions, and asked, "Do you know that I like you?"
"I know, but what does it have to do with me?"
Li Xuewu glanced around. Not only did the walls in this yard have ears, they might even have eyes. He didn't want to make things difficult for Sha Zhu, embarrass Yu Shui, and even more so, didn't want his family to be affected by this inexplicable storm.
So, he pulled the rain and pushed her to the east courtyard and into Yu Li's room.
When the house on the east side was built, it was not built according to the traditional layout of a quadrangle courtyard, but faced north and south to enjoy the sunshine.
Similarly, although the windows here are open, no noise from here can be heard in the other side of the courtyard. Otherwise, how could Ji Yuxiu be so satisfied with this house as soon as she saw it?
Even though her family lived in an apartment and moved here, she knew that this was her future home.
After closing the door, Li Xuewu looked at Yu Shui, who was sitting on the kang with tears in her eyes, and frowned and asked, "You clearly know that I'm not a good person, so why are you staring at me?"
"I can't delay your life, nor do I want to ruin my relationship with your brother, and I don't want people in this courtyard to scold me."
He pulled a chair and sat opposite Yu Shui. He softened his tone and persuaded her, "Yu Shui, didn't we agree that you should always consider others, right?"
"I just want to ask you, do you like me?"
He Yushui's tears fell down, and she still had the same expression. She stared at Li Xuewu and asked, "I just want to know whether you like me or not."
"Haha, I like them. As long as they are young girls, I like them."
Li Xuewu looked at her calmly and said, "If I say I don't like it, I can't lie to you, and you won't believe it, so if you want to ask, I will tell you openly. Let's make it clear today."
"I'm telling you the truth. You've seen a few of my lovers, but do you know how many more I have that you haven't seen?"
He spread his hands and said, "You want to play with my feelings, do you think you can beat me?"
"Uuuuuu——"
When Yu Shui heard him say this, she suddenly burst into tears and couldn't help crying out loud.
Li Xuewu did not stop her. She should have a good cry at this time to clear out the water in her head.
"Why are you crying? Do you feel wronged? Do you think love is too realistic?"
He curled his lips and said, "You are not naive enough to think that I am with all the girls because of love, right?"
"Men are like this. They always like pretty girls and always like eighteen-year-olds."
Li Xuewu stood up, walked to the tea cabinet, tested the temperature in the thermos, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Yu Shui, saying, "So don't talk about life and death and love all the time, and don't listen to nonsense like life is short and you can love whenever you want."
"I love all the beautiful young girls. Can I marry them all? That's nonsense."
He sighed and said, "Love is not the Bible. You have to hold it in your hand to sing the praises of life. Living a good life is the true nature of life."
"Alright, let's just call it a day. I'll give you your vacation time, and I'll cry with you if you want. We'll still be good friends in the future."
He took the towel from the towel rack, poured hot water on it, and handed it to Yu Shui. Seeing that she didn't take it, he stuffed it into her hand and said, "You are older than me, how can you be more naive than me? What era is this? You still believe in love."
“You bastard—!”
Yu Shui cried and threw the towel on Li Xuewu. Her bitter tears made her words full of despair about love.
"I just like you! I just like you! What's wrong! Wuwuwu——"
"Okay, okay, you like me, tell me clearly what you like about me."
Li Xuewu placed the towel next to her and said, "If you tell me anything, I will change it immediately!"
“Go, go, go—!”
Yu Shui was furious at his words and pushed him hard, saying, "Stay away from me, I don't want to see you again!"
"You said that!" Li Xuewu nodded at her and emphasized, "You are a workshop director now, so if you don't mean it..."
Before he could finish his words, he hurriedly hid out when the rain was about to bite him, but when he went out, he saw Sha Zhu standing at the door.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you—"
Li Xuewu was startled by him. He frowned and glared at him and asked, "Did you come here after hearing the noise? Or have you always been here? Why don't you go in? Why are you standing here and listening to what we are saying?"
What else could he listen to? He heard everything his sister said, what Li Xuewu said, and he understood it all.
He stood there with a bitter face, sighing. Li Xuewu looked at him in silence. What the hell was going on?
Sha Zhu did not blame Li Xuewu, nor could he blame him. He heard clearly what Li Xuewu said just now. It was really worthwhile to make friends with this brother, he was really loyal.
It's not Li Xuewu's fault, it's his silly sister. She was too obsessed with it, and was convinced that Li Xuewu was evil. She set her sights too high, and none of the men she met could compare to Li Xuewu. So after taking a step forward and looking back, she retreated, and could never escape from Li Xuewu's circle.
Li Xuewu patted Shazhu's arm and gestured to the house, asking him to go and comfort Yushui. The two siblings should be able to talk to each other now.
After all, he has done such evil things and even poured the dirty water on himself. Just think about it, he is a pure and upright person, how much sacrifice he made for the rain!
Seeing Sha Zhu nod, he turned around to go back, but was suddenly grabbed by Sha Zhu's arm.
"Um, can you..."
Sha Zhu had a bitter face and looked at him awkwardly, wanting to say something but feeling unable to speak.
He didn't need to say anything, Li Xuewu understood everything, what he wanted to say was written on his face.
"Are you sick? She's being stubborn and you're following her?"
Li Xuewu slapped his hand away and said seriously: "We are brothers. Can I ask for rain water? Who am I?"
"Do you still want to live in this courtyard in the future? You don't care about my feelings, but you have to think about yourself, right?"
"But look at her now..." Sha Zhu looked around the room worriedly and said with a frown, "I can't convince her. I won't force her to do what she wants. She is my sister. I can't let my sister be upset for the rest of her life just for my own sake."
"You transfer her away, and I ask her to move away, so she won't see anyone she knows..."
"Get out of here—"
Li Xuewu was so angry that he laughed. He pointed at him and said angrily: "Your brain is not used properly for serious matters, and you can think of things that are not serious!"
"I'll put her on the moon, where no one can see her—"
After saying that, he didn't bother to pay attention to the brother and sister with their weird ideas, and turned to go to the compound.
Sha Zhu stood at the door, watching Li Xuewu leave, and really wanted to slap himself in the face. What kind of words were he saying?
When he entered the house, he saw his sister lying on the kang and crying, and he felt very sad.
"He doesn't want you, why are you crying, are you giving up now?"
“Ah—wuwu—”
Well, after Sha Zhu finished speaking, Yu Shui's crying became several pitches higher, her voice was almost hoarse, and Sha Zhu was so scared that he quickly stopped talking nonsense.
"Okay, okay, you're my aunt, I'm convinced by you!"
Sha Zhu patted the girl and advised: "I don't care about you, didn't you just hear it? I don't care about you, I will give you whatever you want."
"It's okay even if it's him. It's all fine. As long as you're fine, I don't care. What's the point of reputation? Are you important?"
He took the towel that Li Xuewu had placed beside the kang, wiped the girl's tears, and said distressedly: "He is a man, I heard and saw everything he said and did."
"If you want to like him, I have no objection, as long as you are happy."
Sha Zhu helped the girl up, sighed, and said, "Don't wrong yourself, and don't live for others."
“Brother—woo woo woo—”
Yu Shui hugged her brother, and all the grievances in her heart came out at once. The depression of these days and her past worries all turned into tears.
She lay in her brother's arms, crying so aggrieved and sad.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
There is no impenetrable wall in this courtyard, and someone still heard what Yu Shui and Li Xuewu were yelling at.
Considering the fact that many of their dates have failed due to the rain in recent days, these people finally figured out the reason.
It turns out that he was knocked unconscious by Li Xuewu again. This was not news in the past. But can the Li Xuewu of the past be the same as the Li Xuewu of now?
Of course, even if he knew about it, he would only talk about it in private and would never dare to tell it to the Li family. So Li Xuewu could not be blamed for this.
As for how Li Xuewu treated Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, anyone who heard it would have to say that he was worthy of being a cadre.
This has been said very clearly. What else do you want others to do? No one can find fault with Li Xuewu's gift.
As for the infatuated rain, no one said anything disdainful or gossipy about it, most people just sighed.
Although no one said it publicly, one could tell from the looks they gave each other behind the scenes that the news had spread.
No matter how much sympathy there is, no matter how much sympathy there is, there is a little bit of color in the eyes of the neighbors when they look at the rain, maybe it's sadness, or maybe it's inappropriate.
Infatuated people are always sad and heartbroken, because their love relationship from the previous life has not ended, so they will always be more sad and heartbroken in this life.
Say it’s not right, say it’s what he deserves, life is full of different things, this kind of thing happens today, tomorrow, it will never be rare.
Perhaps only when there are no more infatuated children in this world, and all that is left is a dissolute life pursuing fame and fortune, will people find it incomprehensible and unreasonable.
