Grandpa, it's you! The Venerable Morality, Yi Zhonghai.
In Yi Zhonghai's memory, Sha Zhu seemed to have never suffered such a serious injury in many years.
Without thinking about anything else, they shouted to the fat man, "Come and lend a hand!" Only then did the two of them carry Sha Zhu out of the room.
As he stepped over the threshold, Fatty's shoulders slumped, and Silly Pillar's legs buckled, almost causing him to cross his legs and straddle the threshold again!
It was an old man who risked his life to prevent him from repeating the same mistake...
After everyone had left, Chen Yan blushed and shoved Chen Fang, scolding in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You're so mean!"
Chen Fang's eyes darted around, and she cursed, "Serves you right! Who told him to make a move on you?"
The first day in their new home ended with Sha-zhu ending up in the hospital.
※※※※※※
Women of this era are truly virtuous. Chen Yan and Chen Fang didn't let the fat man lift a finger, taking care of everything for him inside and out.
Looking at the fruits of her labor with satisfaction, Chen Fang said with a hint of envy, "You're so comfortable living in such a big house all by yourself."
The fat man continued, "Why don't you stay here, and I'll go back home?"
Chen Fang came over and hit him: "Pah, I don't want to be neighbors with that old pervert!"
"Old lecher..." Chen Yan and Chen Fang burst into laughter, teasing each other.
"The way he looks at you, he wants to be my brother-in-law!"
"You're so mean, how could you go there..."
"Hehehe, I didn't do anything, I just gave my little brother a push."
The fat man leaned against the chest of drawers, watching his two older sisters playfully fighting. He felt an unprecedented sense of peace and warmth.
Just now, he and Chen Fang worked together seamlessly, using their newly acquired combat skills to deliver a precise and fatal blow to Sha Zhu.
This also triggered a passive effect, increasing critical strike chance by 15%.
Serves him right for letting that bastard try to take advantage of Second Sister! He should take a good look at himself in the mirror; does he even deserve it?
The fat man's eyes suddenly turned sinister again. Chen Yan appeared beside him without saying a word, but gently pulled his arm.
When the fat man came to his senses, she shook her head at him. Although the second sister was dull-witted, she was very kind.
Every time you move into a new house, you have to have a meal to start the new life. As the cook, Fatty naturally has all the pots, pans, and utensils ready.
It wasn't cold yet, so he wasn't in a hurry to move the stove inside. He just stir-fried some potatoes outside the door.
During this time, a little girl came over curiously and took a look. She was about 6 or 7 years old, wearing a floral dress and with two pigtails hanging down. She said to the fat man in a childish voice, "The food you made smells so good, just like Uncle Sha's."
The fat man was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was talking about Sha Zhu.
The fat man could roughly guess her identity from the girl's age—she called him "Silly Uncle"—but he couldn't confirm: "Little sister, which family are you from? What's your name?"
"My name is Xiao Dang, and I'm from the Jia family."
As expected, Xiao Dang is a pushover. In families with many children, being the second child is the most disadvantaged.
With her eldest son, Banggeng, above her and her infant daughter, Huaihua, below her, she never gets to enjoy the best food or drinks.
She lived in the cracks of society from a young age, and when she grew up, she couldn't find a job because she hadn't received much education, so she could only rely on her mentally challenged father.
In the TV series, Sha Zhu himself said, "Bang Geng looks like his father, Huai Hua looks like her mother, but you, girl, who do you look like?"
It's easy to see that Xiao Dang grew up in such an environment, and even his personality is hard to fathom.
Well-behaved girls are always more likable than boys.
The fat man took a small bowl and scooped some potato slices from the pot for Xiao Dang; Xiao Dang wasn't afraid of getting burned and quickly ate them. While blowing on them, he didn't forget to praise the fat man: "Your cooking is really delicious, just as delicious as my silly uncle's."
The fat man couldn't help but laugh at her little trick of constantly mentioning Sha Zhu.
In the TV series, Xiao Dang is one of the few people who is close to Sha Zhu, unlike Bang Geng and Huai Hua.
After lunch, the fat man persuaded his two older sisters to leave.
Chen Yan and Chen Fang are both beautiful, but one silly Zhu is hospitalized, and there's also Dull Zhu, Clumsy Zhu, Foolish Zhu, and Dull Zhu... It's impossible to guard against them all!
Sha Zhu didn't return until around 3 p.m., supported by Yi Zhonghai.
The fat man heard it, but didn't even leave the door. Someone like Sha Zhu, going over at this crucial moment would just be offering himself up for a scolding, wouldn't it?
He waited until it was dark before he cooked two bowls of noodles and took them to Shazhu's house.
Seeing Sha Zhu lying flat on the bed, with no one in the room to take care of him, I couldn't help but feel sorry for his lack of popularity.
Ultimately, whether in Yi Zhonghai's mind or Qin Huairu's mind, he was just a useful tool.
Sha Zhu had been lying in the house for a long time, and his temper had long since worn away.
Seeing the fat man was like seeing a savior. He had been wanting to go to the toilet for a long time, but he didn't dare to move, because any movement would cause excruciating pain.
He wanted to drink more water, but the more water he drank, the more he needed to urinate, so he could only hold it in.
The fat man's arrival saved his life.
Seeing the fat man help him get the chamber pot without any hesitation, and looking at the steaming bowl of noodles on the table, Sha Zhu was actually a little touched.
He Yushui returned as dusk fell.
Looking at the lights in my room that someone else had turned on, I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
At this moment, Qin Huairu also brought over a bowl of cornmeal porridge and a small dish of pickled vegetables to deliver food to Sha Zhu.
When Yu Shui saw her, her eyes reddened, and she called out, "Sister Qin."
Qin Huairu understood perfectly well that in Sha Zhu's eyes, He Yushui was a burden. She was when they were children, she was when they went to school, and she still is now.
Once He Yushui gets married, it will have nothing to do with Sha Zhu anymore. Seeing these two siblings reminded her of Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua. She wondered what their relationship would be like when they grew up. Sigh…
The two women were taken aback when they saw someone inside Sha Zhu's house.
Qin Huairu spoke first: "This is Fatty, your brother's apprentice. He just moved in today."
Then, he introduced Yu Shui, saying, "Her name is He Yu Shui, and she is your master's younger sister."
The fat man had just guessed that she was Yushui, and the two siblings did look somewhat alike.
Although Yu Shui also had slightly slanted eyes, she was tall, youthful, and beautiful, with an unyielding melancholy between her brows, which perfectly matched the "fair-skinned, young, and thin" aesthetic of another world.
Looking at the bowl of noodles left on the table, Qin Huairu said with emotion, "You've really made a good apprentice; I only just remembered you."
After saying that, he tidied up the house and wiped the table in front of Fatty and He Yushui without any sense of incongruity, and also took the dishes and chopsticks out to wash.
