Chapter 553: Ba Wu, the Braggart
Babu's fifth son, stubborn in nature; Strengths 1: A skilled builder, leading a construction team; Strengths 2: Dedicated. Weaknesses: Extremely concerned with saving face, loves to boast; Quirk: Boasting!
So simple?
Lu Xingchen looked at it again and again.
She kept staring at Ba Wu, and Ba Wu's face immediately darkened.
Lu Xingchen withdrew his gaze.
Ba Liu can be ignored because Ba Wu was in charge of the construction team.
Lu Xingchen decided to take another look and collect more information.
At this moment, Ba Yiba had already handed over the wine, shouting that he wanted to drink and eat meat, and also wanted a group of younger people to come and meet his aunt.
The group arrived at a large room with many tables and chairs, which appeared to be used as a dining room.
They sat down at a large table, and soon the food was laid out and they began to drink.
Xiluo Weiwei could drink, and in less than ten minutes, she and Ba Wuba Liu had drunk several glasses.
Lu Xingchen had something to do, so he refused to drink and just listened to their conversation quietly.
Thirty minutes later, Xiluo Weiwei's face remained normal, but her eyes were glazed over, indicating that she was drunk.
Xi Luoweiwei began to steer the conversation toward Lu Xingchen.
Ba Wu was a little angry: "Sister-in-law, you're not bad, really not bad. It's not that I'm disrespecting you by talking about Lu Xingchen today, it's just that she's too hateful!"
Silovi was puzzled: "Is it because she stole your tools? But I heard her say that she didn't mean to..."
Ba Wu blushed: "Then she's even more despicable. You...you know what? After that incident, we became a laughing stock for many people. They laughed...laughed at how stupid our Babu family was to throw our tools onto someone else's boat. It was so shameful!"
Ba Liu: "Actually, not many people laughed at us. It was just that a few of Fifth Brother's arch-rivals took advantage of the situation."
Ba Wu slammed his fist on the table: "That won't do either, it's so embarrassing! I feel ashamed just thinking about it, they laugh at me every day!"
Ba Wu slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and said with an imposing air, "They say I'm stupid. Am I stupid? Am I stupid? Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba's wife, you tell me, am I stupid?"
Xiluo Weiwei: "Of course I'm not stupid, Fifth Brother. In my opinion, you're very smart, otherwise you wouldn't have received so many orders."
Ba Wu felt a little better and sat down proudly: "Of course, huh, I don't know how many people asked us to build houses!"
After thinking about it, he got angry again: "They say I'm stupid? They actually say I'm stupid. They think it's stupid for me to throw tools at Lu Xingchen's ship. But our weapons are not long-range. Lu Xingchen ran far away, so we can only throw weapons. Are we stupid?"
Xi Luoweiwei said firmly: "Not stupid!"
Ba Wu was frustrated: "But they laugh at me every day."
Xiluo Weiwei advised, "Fifth Brother, why should we care what others say?"
Ba Liu: "Well, no matter what, I have to brag to them. Now every time I brag, they use this incident to hit me back. I feel very upset."
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but say, "How about I find a few people to listen to Fifth Brother brag?"
It’s no big deal!
At worst, she could just have a bunch of players listen to Ba Wu brag and flatter him!
He'll be satisfied!
Ba Liu shook his head: "No, Fifth Brother only likes to be with those few people."
That's incredibly stubborn!
Ba Wu cursed and complained to Lu Xingchen for about half an hour.
Lu Xingchen understood; what she had done had made Ba Wu lose face.
Unable to hear any new information, Lu Xingchen made an excuse to go out and relax and walked out of the house.
On the deck, many people were sitting or standing, chatting or resting.
She walked to the bow of the boat, pretending to look at the sea, but actually eavesdropping on their conversation.
"I'm so envious of Uncle Ba. He found such a beautiful wife. When will I have a wife?"
"Little brat, you're only eight years old. Isn't it too early for you to be thinking about this? Your older brother is already thirty, and I still don't have a wife, do I?"
"Oh, brother, your hand is cut?"
"It's okay, it will be fine in two days. Ouch, it hurts."
"Brother, I saw that the hands of the third and ninth brothers were also broken. What should I do?"
"Humph, you're still too young. People like us in this line of work all have hands like this."
