Chapter 1967 Performing a Show of Brotherly Love
Shu Rui and his two companions had originally planned to leave. They had persevered outside for so long and had witnessed the local customs and culture, so it was time for them to go home before going elsewhere.
But after Xun Sheng said that, it was naturally difficult for them to leave.
So they stayed, working and earning money. Xun Sheng knew they were experiencing life, so he didn't offer any special help or care.
After treating them to a meal, the next meeting was to discuss academic matters and the upcoming poetry gathering.
The three worked diligently while being frugal. If they waited until after the poetry gathering to return, they would run out of money. Shu Rui had only a limited amount of money to begin with, and it had to be divided among the three of them. Now that they had delayed their return for so many days, how could they not work hard to earn money?
Hearing this, Shu Yu couldn't hold back any longer, "So you didn't even get to eat a chicken leg?"
Da Bao took a vicious bite of the meat. "Yeah, it's too tragic."
Erniu said, "Although it was a terrible experience, it gave us valuable lessons and taught us a lot about human relationships. So the benefits outweighed the drawbacks."
Da Bao looked at him incredulously, "What experience did you gain? I just feel tired."
Shu Rui asked him, "Then next time you go out, will you know where the money is hidden?"
"knew."
When encountering a pitiful person asking for help, would you still give them money after only listening to a few words?
Da Bao snorted, "I'm not Er Niu. Even if someone faints from crying in front of me, they can't get a single penny out of me. I'm very stingy."
Everyone, "..." Oh, right, I almost forgot that you inherited this trait from your third uncle.
Shu Rui said, "Well, at least if you ever find yourself penniless again, you'll know how to survive."
"Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense. This won't happen again."
Shu Rui didn't want to talk to him anymore. She sat down angrily, snatched the last chicken leg from the plate in front of him, and took a big bite.
Da Bao retorted angrily, "I'm already suffering so much, and you're still trying to steal my food."
"Who's not miserable? You've already eaten three chicken drumsticks, shameless."
"Do you want to fight?"
"Come on, let's see if you can beat me."
Shu Yu stared speechlessly at the two people who were already hugging, and called to the others, "Ignore them, let's continue eating."
Shu Rui and Da Bao had already run into the yard. They said they were fighting, but actually they were just head-to-head, seeing who could outlast the other.
Just as I was getting into the swing of things, a pair of long legs suddenly appeared right under my nose.
Shu Rui suddenly raised his head, and Da Bao, having lost his support, pounced on him.
Just as the two were about to fall to the ground together, the owner of the long legs reacted quickly and caught them both.
"What, you're putting on a show of brotherly love as soon as you get back?"
Shu Rui looked up, overjoyed, "Brother Meng."
Meng Yunzheng helped them up and looked them over. "You look darker and thinner. Looks like you've suffered a lot these past few days."
Upon hearing this, Da Bao seemed to have found a kindred spirit, "Isn't that right? I..."
Just as he was about to start complaining again, Shu Yu, who had heard the noise, immediately ran out and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Haven't you been very busy lately?"
"I heard the three of them came back, so I came to see them," Meng Yunzheng said as he walked inside.
Shu Rui and Da Bao behind him exchanged a glance, and the two started arguing again.
