Chapter 3 Poor Relatives in Flesh and Blood



Damn, who did you learn this from? Why are you still yelling?

Zeng Wangcai pinched Zeng Xiaoqiang's ear and asked him who he learned these dirty words from. He knew that Zeng Xiaoqiang definitely didn't understand and would never say them without someone teaching him.

Finally, Zeng Xiaoqiang confessed honestly that it was Liu Guangfu in the backyard who said it, and that Liu Guangfu went to the alley to find a family who was marrying a new bride and eavesdropped through the wall.

Damn, I almost forgot that this courtyard is full of beasts.

He began to recall the beasts in this courtyard...!

At this time in 1959, Yi Zhonghai, the god of morality, had not yet fully launched his retirement plan, and the bootlicker Sha Zhu had not yet completely caught his eye; Liu Haizhong could only use his power aspirations in the compound and employed the second uncle as deputy factory director; Yan Fugui calculated everything from heaven to earth and his son, and would go into the house and swing a kitchen knife a few times whenever a whetstone was passed by his door.

Then there is Jia Zhang who sold her daughter-in-law for three dollars, Qin Huairu who sneaked into the warehouse for five steamed buns, Sha Zhu, the courtyard god of war and bootlicker, and Xu Damao, a real villain and a complete bastard who only crows but doesn't lay eggs.

Zeng Wangcai was very familiar with the personalities of these people. He had seen too many of them in novels, TV dramas, and comments.

"Don't play with Liu Guangfu, Liu Guangtian and Banggeng from the Central Courtyard unless necessary. Do you hear me?" Zeng Wangcai took the second child into the house and told him off.

In the original owner's memory, there were many scenes of the second and third brothers following Liu Guangfu to fool around. As for Liu Guangtian, who was about the same age as the original owner, he usually didn't take them with him. Banggeng, who was about seven years old, was also a member of the gang.

"It's none of your business. Go play with them and you'll get food."

"Do you want to eat the fart?" Zeng Wangcai patted the second child on the head in annoyance. Seeing the second child retreating in fear, he softened his attitude and said, "Listen to big brother. Don't play with them in the future. Big brother will give you food."

Zeng Xiaoqiang didn't believe it: "You are kidding me again, your pocket is just like mine, cleaner than your face."

"You're such a chatterbox!" Zeng Wangcai scolded with a smile, "Don't regret it if you don't listen. You may have forgotten that I, your big brother, will be going to work soon."

Zeng Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes and regretted it: "Then Big Brother gave me the salary to buy me popsicles. If you promise me that you will not play with them, I will also bring Lai Fu to break up with them."

Done, ten year old, easy to deal with.

The bootlicker Sha Zhu is right when he said, you learn from the people you follow. Liu Guangfu's status at home is even lower than that of a dog. There is also the issue of stealing the saint's stick. How can anything good come from following these two?

It's either stealing or robbing, and sooner or later it will go astray.

Liu Guangtian said that their eldest son, Liu Guangqi, couldn't stand Liu Haizhong beating and scolding him at home, and was worried that he would teach the child bad habits, so he moved to Shijiazhuang. It is not known whether this is true or not, but this factor should be there.

There are also the three brothers and sisters of Banggeng, who grew up to be ungrateful people under the influence of Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu. Shazhu licked them so much that he gave up all the houses for them to live in after they got married. But after they had a quarrel with Qin Huairu, hey, they were kicked out and made to live in the kitchen.

So the growth environment is really important.

Zeng Wangcai pulled the second child over and whispered, "If you listen to me, you will have popsicles to eat today."

Zeng Xiaoqiang couldn't help drooling on the spot, his eyes sparkling: "Really?"

"I'm not lying to you, if you do this..." Zeng Wangcai whispered a few words in the second brother's ear.

He was not doing anything big, but was thinking about how to cash in the things in the warehouse.

Some novels describe how people can have delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day when they have supplies, without considering the family and social situation at all. Others eat wild vegetable porridge every day, while your family eats chicken, duck, fish and meat every day. Who wouldn’t be jealous? Let me ask you, what is your family situation? Is your income enough to support this kind of diet?

Report it immediately. A letter for conjunctivitis costs eight cents and will make you sick for at least half a year.

This really happened. Legend has it that there was a woman who loved to eat meat. She bought more meat several times during a special period, and was then reported by the enthusiastic Chaoyang residents. Upon investigation, it turned out that she was a spy!

There are such "enthusiastic" people in Siheyuan, and Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui both write letters of denunciation.

So Zeng Wangcai didn't stupidly take out the things in the warehouse, but found a reasonable reason first.

So you have to go to work, and you will have income when you work.

He also thought of a way to improve his life before going to work, which is what he just asked Zeng Xiaoqiang to do.

Seeing the second child running out happily, Zeng Wangcai found some clothes and pants without patches and put them on. Their family was a typical one where the eldest child had new clothes, the second child had old clothes, and the third child had to mend them.

He closed the door behind him when he went out and passed through the hanging flower gate to the front yard. Before he entered the house, Zeng Wangcai could hear the hustle and bustle inside.

I pushed aside the door curtain and walked into the room that served as the kitchen and living room. Their house was quite spacious. There were three rooms, one for the parents and one for the second and third children.

There were three people talking inside, one was the mother Chen Yumei, and the other was Zeng Wangcai's second uncle Zeng Youhuo - a short, dark and thin middle-aged man. In fact, Zeng Youhuo was only in his thirties.

Zeng Youhuo's jacket and trousers had at least seventeen or eighteen patches on them. He was accompanied by a little girl of three or four years old, Zeng Xiaohuan, the youngest child in Zeng Youhuo's family.

Zeng Xiaohuan had a pale and thin face, with sparse yellow hair, and her clothes were patched up but clean. Her face was dark but also clean, probably because she had just washed it.

"Wangcai, are you up? What happened to your head? It's all swollen!" Zeng Youhuo spoke first when he saw Zeng Wangcai coming in. "Did you have a fight with someone? You're at a disadvantage. Tell your uncle who beat you up. I'll call Huzi and the others to help you fight back. We don't bully others, and we can't let others bully us."

This is a typical case of helping relatives instead of helping others. Instead of asking why they are fighting, they directly ask who they are fighting with.
