Chapter 31: Good wine and good meat feed jackals!
"Oh, Tai San'er, you've become rich, and you don't care about your brothers anymore? You can't even see us when you walk across from us!"
The three strong men spoke in a muffled voice and blocked the road tightly with their arms crossed.
Tai Jiye's expression changed. He was silent for a moment before he put on a smile again and said, "Brother Li, why are you here? Who owes a debt to the gambling house and you're here to collect it?"
The strong man named Li was the leader. He didn't say anything at the moment, but the other two brothers spoke for him.
"Tai San'er, what's the matter? You're making fun of us brothers for our shameful business of debt collection. Who are you trying to embarrass?"
"That's right, you're not the same as when you used to surround us brothers and call us brother? You've become rich and powerful, but now you've turned your back on us!"
Tai Jizong heard that their tone was not right, and fearing that his brother would suffer, he rushed forward and protected his brother behind him.
The other craftsmen were a little afraid at first, but seeing this, they bravely surrounded them.
At this moment, Mr. Tai heard the noise, walked out of the yard, looked around, and shouted from afar.
"What happened?"
Everyone looked back, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The three strong men saw that Mr. Tai had a straight back, a cold expression, and was missing half an arm. They guessed that he was a retired wounded soldier, so they reduced their arrogance a little.
The man surnamed Li glanced at Tai Jiye and said, "Okay, Tai Saner, let's talk about what happened today later! Your family is here, so let's save some face for you!"
After that, they were about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Tai came over with big strides, as if he couldn't see the undercurrent among the crowd, and greeted them.
"Oh, this is the third brother's friend, right? This kid is always messing around in the city, and his family is worried. Luckily, friends like you are taking care of him! Come on, come on, you've already arrived at the door today, how could you just leave like that? Come in and sit down. Let's get some food and drinks and have a few good drinks."
As he spoke, the old man pulled the man surnamed Li and walked home.
Although Tai Jizong and Tai Jiye didn't know what was going on with their father, they were not stupid enough to expose him. They quickly surrounded the remaining two men and went into the yard together.
Yang Lihua came out holding Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu was wearing a small rabbit fur hat and scarf, with only her rosy little face showing. She looked extremely cute.
At this moment, the fat girl reached out to her grandfather to hug her, and then looked at the three strange men curiously.
The old man knew that his granddaughter had the habit of grabbing people's heads, so he quickly held her hand and then instructed Liu Dongniang who came out of the kitchen.
"Second brother's wife, hurry up and prepare some delicious dishes and bring over the jar of wine I bought yesterday. I want to entertain some of my brothers."
Liu Dongniang naturally agreed and turned back to the kitchen.
Yang Lihua noticed something was wrong and hurried to give her husband some instructions, and also informed Mr. Tai San.
In the west room, three men had been asked to sit on the warm kang and had a bowl of hot water in their hands.
Even though they felt a little guilty and had doubts in their hearts, it was good to warm up after being outside in the cold for a while.
Old Master Tai chatted with them and refilled their water with hot water from time to time.
Zhuzhu lay on her grandfather's back, blinking her big eyes, looking at the three strange men, her little eyes full of pity.
These uncles are so tall and big!
I don’t know how much meat and rice I ate!
Unfortunately, they have black hair on their heads and are about to die...
She turned her head, ran to the end of the kang and brought over the hidden snack box. Not only did she open it, she also gave each of the three men a piece of snack.
"Uncle!"
The cute little girl with chubby little hands holding the delicious snacks can instantly melt even the strongest man.
The three men declined awkwardly, not at all like the unruly people on the street who shake their heads and tails and act recklessly.
"Good girl, eat. Uncle is not hungry!" The man surnamed Li waved his hand and was about to say something when he saw the little girl's eyes turned red, her mouth pouted, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Ouch, ouch!" The man surnamed Li couldn't hold it in any longer, so he quickly pinched a snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
The high-quality mung bean cake was a bit choking. The man surnamed Li stretched his neck and exerted great effort to swallow it.
When the little milk ball saw that he almost stretched himself into a giraffe, he clapped his chubby hands and smiled.
Grandpa Tai held his granddaughter in his arms and said to the three of them, "It's really strange. The three brothers have really taken a liking to this girl! You know, her snack box is hidden very well. Normally, no one in our family can give out a single piece of snack."
“Haha, this girl actually took the initiative to treat you today.
"People say that children have clear eyes and can distinguish between good and evil. She likes the heroic spirit of the three brothers and came to get close to them."
Who doesn’t like to hear nice words? The three men blushed when they were praised, but they felt extremely comfortable in their hearts.
Soon, Tai Jiye brought Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue to serve wine and food.
There was still some meat at home, so I bought a piece of tofu and a roast chicken, so the dish was quite rich.
Old Master Tai chased his children and grandchildren away, then filled the three men's bottles with strong liquor and started drinking with them.
Zhuzhu got a chicken leg and sat next to her grandfather, chewing it with her greasy little mouth.
The three men occasionally looked at her, and she would smile with her eyes narrowed. Her chubby little face was like a peach, which was particularly adorable.
The three men gradually let down their guard and raised their wine bowls more frequently.
After a few words, the old man turned the conversation to the war, which made the three men's blood boil.
In the end, the man surnamed Li and the old man fell to the ground.
