When Xu Damao returned home and learned that Xu Fugui really wanted to give him a gift of 30 yuan, he became completely withdrawn.

“Dad, my monthly salary is less than thirty dollars, and you just gave it to Sha Zhu?

If you have more money than you can spend, give it to me. I don’t have enough to spend every month.”

Xu Fugui cursed, “Get out of here. You eat and drink at home every day, but you never bring home a penny of the money you earn.

Where did your money go? “

Xu Damao felt guilty and did not dare to respond.

Xu Xiaoling came bouncing in, holding a half-eaten orange in her hand.

She broke off a petal and handed it to Xu Fugui: “Dad, this sentence is so sweet, try it.”

Then she gave another petal to Xu’s mother.

Xu Damao waited anxiously, but in the end, nothing happened.

Xu Xiaoling took the remaining oranges and sat with Xu’s mother, not thinking about him.

Xu Damao couldn’t help it: “Xu Xiaoling, do you still have me as your brother in your eyes?

Why don’t you let me taste some? Come on, give me the rest of the oranges.”

Xu Xiaoling hid the orange behind her back and said, “No. Why should I give it to you?”

Xu Damao said: “Why do you say that? I am your brother.”

Xu Xiaoling said, “How dare you say you are my brother? Brother Zhuzi treats Yushui as his brother, and he gives all the good things to Yushui first.”

Xu Damao said unhappily, “He starts working earlier than me and earns more than me. If I were like him and didn’t have to go to school, I would definitely be more capable than him.”

This is why Xu Damao is not convinced by He Yuzhu. He always feels that He Yuzhu takes advantage of his age.

Xu Fugui kicked Xu Damao to the ground and said, “I paid for you to go to school, and you still did something wrong.

Look at Liu Guangqi, he got into high school without much fanfare.”

Xu Damao said unconvincedly: “You want me to learn from him and go home once a month after work, right?”

Xu Fugui glared at him and stopped talking.

If parents are not kind, their children will be unfilial. This is not just talk.

Everyone in the courtyard could see that Liu Guangqi was an unfilial person.

Only Liu Haizhong couldn’t see through it. If anyone dared to mention this, Liu Haizhong would get angry with that person.

Xu Fugui was also worried that his son was unfilial, so he was much more tolerant towards Xu Damao.

Xu Damao also knew this, and immediately became proud: “Xu Xiaoling, don’t give me excuses, go to Sha Zhu’s house quickly and bring me some delicious food.”

Xu Xiaoling said: “I am not quibbling. Brother Zhenjiang works with you. He has even promised to buy a skirt for Sister Panpan.

What about you? Besides stealing my food, when have you ever bought me clothes?

You are not as good as Brother Zhuzi, nor Brother Zhenjiang, and you made me lose face in front of Yushui and Sister Panpan.”

Xu Damao had an impulsive temper and was very dissatisfied after hearing what Xu Xiaoling said.

“Nonsense. Li Zhenjiang gave all his salary to his family. How could he get the money to buy clothes for Li Pan?”

Xu Xiaoling said: “That’s what Brother Zhenjiang saved up himself. He wanted to buy a small skirt like Yu Shui’s for Sister Panpan. A small skirt costs eight yuan.

Can you take it out?”

I was despised by my sister.

Xu Damao couldn’t stand it, so he took out ten yuan and threw it on the table.

“Why don’t I have any money? Look what this is?”

Xu Xiaoling said: “This isn’t a purchase for me, what am I looking at?”

“Who said it wasn’t? This is for buying clothes for you.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoling threw the two orange halves in her hand onto the table and then took the money directly.

When Xu Damao saw the orange, he picked it up and ate it without hesitation.

After eating, he said to Xu Xiaoling: “Give me the money. When I have time, I will take you to buy clothes.”

Xu Xiaoling covered the money with both hands: “I won’t. Sister Lin has already said that she will take Qingqing to buy clothes on the day off, so I can just go with her.”

Xu Damao didn’t have much money left in his pocket, and he didn’t really want to buy clothes for Xu Xiaoling.

Seeing that Xu Xiaoling refused to give it to him, he stepped forward and tried to snatch it back. While snatching it, he said, “Our father has money in his pocket, go to him and ask for money to buy clothes.

Give me my money back.”

When Xu Fugui heard this, he was so angry that he kicked Xu Damao again: “Stop it. I’m in charge. Use the money to buy clothes for your sister.”

Xu Damao said with reluctance: “It costs eight yuan to buy clothes, and there is still two yuan more.”

“Didn’t you eat two halves of her orange? Just consider it as the money you used to buy the oranges. Well, it’s getting late, hurry up and wash up and go to bed.”

Xu Xiaoling proudly packed the money and went out to get some water for washing feet. She was especially considerate and brought it to Xu Fugui.

Xu Fugui kindly gave her another two yuan as change.

Xu Damao didn’t sleep well that night. He used the ten yuan to please a woman, but this woman was definitely not Xu Xiaoling.

Xu Fugui didn’t care too much and slept well that night.

This good mood disappeared until I met Yan Bugui at work.

Yan Bugui stared at Xu Fugui and said, “Old Xu, was what you said yesterday true? When a child in our courtyard gets married, he will give a gift of thirty yuan.”

Xu Fugui said: “When did I say this? I was talking about giving a gift to Sha Zhu.

Whatever happens to the others, just let it be.”

Yan Bugui was very disappointed when he heard this, but he did not give up.

The rules of the Siheyuan were set by the three uncles. As long as Xu Fugui dared to give He Yuzhu thirty, they would dare to set this rule.

“You are wrong. We are all neighbors. We cannot be divided into different classes. We must treat everyone equally.”

Xu Fugui laughed and said, “Don’t flatter me. I will give as much as I want to others.

I have a good relationship with Shazhu, so what’s wrong with being a little more casual? I’m happy.”

He was too lazy to argue with Yan Bugui, who liked to take advantage of others, and just left.

Yan Bugui looked at his back and said coldly, “They have a good relationship, but you let Xu Damao ruin Sha Zhu’s marriage?

Bah. Clearly trying to please Shazhu.

I tell you, this thirty yuan gift money, our family has decided…”

Other people at work, seeing Yan Bugui’s eyes glowing, all hid far away, fearing that he would stare at them and force them to bleed.

Wu Tiezhu took advantage of the break to take Xu Yongkun outside.

“What are you doing, being so secretive?”

Wu Tiezhu said: “I’m going on a blind date tomorrow.”

Xu Yongkun said nonchalantly: “I know. It’s not my first blind date, and it may not be successful.”

Wu Tiezhu said dissatisfiedly: “What do you mean by not sure of success? If you say that again, I will break up with you.”

Xu Yongkun quickly smiled and said, “I was just kidding. Do you want me to help you buy groceries? No problem. I promise I won’t delay your work.”

Wu Tiezhu said: “Not only that. I also want you to help me find out who ruined my blind date.”

Xu Yongkun suddenly became interested: “That’s great. I promise to catch the person who ruined your blind date. But I don’t know him?”

Wu Tiezhu said: “I asked last night, the deaf old lady is looking for Liu the matchmaker. You just follow Liu the matchmaker.

Oh, and don’t let anyone in our courtyard see it.”

Xu Yongkun patted his chest and assured: “Don’t worry, I’ll be there early in the morning to keep an eye on it.”

Wu Tiezhu hesitated for a moment and whispered, “Please keep an eye on this old man for me.”

“Him?” Xu Yongkun was puzzled: “You suspect him?”

Wu Tiezhu nodded and said, “My previous blind dates all failed for unknown reasons.

They all said that it was Shazhu and Xu Damao who did it. But the two of them didn’t have the chance to do it.

I can’t think of anyone else besides them.”

Xu Yongkun thought for a moment and said, “If that’s the case, then Master Yi is indeed a suspect.

He was a little too nice to Jia Dongxu.”

Wu Tiezhu thought to himself, you don’t know what’s going on in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai treats Jia Dongxu’s wife even better. (End of this chapter)
