174: If I mention your sister, I will die
Lao Pu looked at Yu Daye with great pride, pretending to be profound:
"Well, your brother is coming with me, and you can continue to stay in the Ninth Company selling firewood. Second brother, go back and bring your luggage, bedding, and all your belongings here. Remember, do it quietly and don't disturb others. I'll be waiting for you here. If your brother doesn't want to go, then don't go. Wait until you make some money and get married, and then make your brother jealous."
After hearing these words, Yu Erye was filled with longing.
I am finally going to live the life I have always dreamed of!
I can finally save enough money to marry Cuihua!
Although he still doesn't know what kind of job the old man will assign him, Yu Erye has already seen that hope lies ahead!
Yu Erye turned his head away without caring about anything. His yearning for a better life gave him great courage. For the first time, he confidently said to Yu Daye:
"Brother, I don't care about you anymore. I'm going to earn my salary. Don't stop me. I'm going back to get my luggage now! Uncle, don't leave. Wait here for me——"
Before he could finish his words, Yu Erye had already run away.
Yu Daye looked at Lao Pu again, as if he was wondering what tricks this old man was playing.
After taking a look, he turned around and chased after Yu Erye:
"Second brother, wait for me!"
Lao Pu smiled knowingly, haha, it seems the boss has also taken the bait!
Lao Pu took out the cigarette holder from his belt with a relaxed mood and smoked another pack of cigarettes.
After smoking a pack of cigarettes and waiting for more than half an hour, Lao Pu felt a little uneasy. Could something have changed?
Could it be that that stupid Yu Lao Er has changed his mind again, or has he persuaded his brother to go back?
Or maybe the other members of the company discovered their plan to escape and stopped them?
All kinds of bad speculations rushed through Lao Pu's mind.
Lao Pu felt that nothing had gone wrong. Although Boss Yu was quite suspicious, Second Yu completely believed in him. As long as Second Yu was determined to come over, Boss Yu, as the eldest brother, should not let such a fool like Second Yu go alone, right?
Lao Pu stayed there thinking about all sorts of things, feeling uneasy in his heart. He was always afraid that something would go wrong and he would have a hard time explaining to Xiao Ye when he returned.
Finally, after a very long time, a figure finally appeared in the woods.
It was Yu Erye who was carrying the bedding roll.
Ah, here he comes, Yu Laoer is coming with his bedding roll on his back!
But why is he alone?
Where is Boss Yu?
Lao Pu's heart sank. It seemed that Boss Yu really let this silly second son go off alone?!
Lao Pu took the initiative to greet him and asked:
"Where's your brother?"
When Yu Laoer heard this, his mouth pursed as if he was about to cry.
Lao Pu became anxious and asked again:
"Where's your brother? Why did you come alone and not your brother?"
"My brother," Yu Lao Er cried, "My brother, he left me and went away."
"Ah?!" Lao Pu's eyes almost popped out of his head. "Where did he go?"
"I don't know. I asked him to come with me. He packed his things and I thought he would come with me. But when he got to the main road, he told me that he wouldn't be coming with me and that he wanted to walk on his own."
"He——" Lao Pu felt like he couldn't even speak anymore, "Then where did he go?!"
"He stopped a carriage on the road, got in and left. I don't know where he was going—"
At the end, Yu Erye finally couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying. He was a grown man, but he cried like a child:
"What should I do? My eldest brother left me alone and took all the money. He left me alone. My parents are gone, my eldest brother is gone, I have no relatives, ah——"
Yu Erye burst into tears.
Lao Pu felt quite sympathetic when he saw him crying so miserably, but when he heard him say that his parents were gone, his elder brother was gone, and he had no relatives left, Lao Pu could not help but shout:
"Don't you have a younger sister? You mentioned your father, your mother, and your older brother, but why didn't you include your younger sister? Don't you treat your younger sister as a human being?!"
It would have been fine if Lao Pu hadn't said anything, but once he did, Yu Lao Er became even more furious and gritted his teeth and said:
"It's all her fault. If she hadn't run away after getting off the train, Mom and Dad wouldn't have chased her, and our family wouldn't have been separated. It's all Yu Xiaoye's fault!"
"I--"
Lao Pu's anger suddenly rose. He took off his shoes, picked up the soles of his shoes and hit Yu Lao Er on the head:
"You heartless thing, it's all your sister's fault, it's all your sister's fault, it's all your sister's fault, you damn well can't say that!"
"Ah!" Yu Erye held his head and yelled, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"
Lao Pu didn't stop and chased Yu Erye to beat him:
"Your sister is so worried about you two, trying every possible way to help you, buying you firewood, sending you fish, and even wanting to bring you back home. Yet you never even mention her. When you do, you blame her. Do you still act like a brother?"
Yu Lao Er ran away with his head in his hands, still shouting all the way:
"Ah, stop hitting her, this is all her fault! Ah - no - no no -"
Yu Lao Er finally realized that something was wrong. He ignored the shoe soles that hit him on the head and asked blankly:
"What do you mean? Buying firewood, giving away fish, what do you mean? How do you know I have a girlfriend? What's going on?"
Lao Pu was tired from fighting, so he stopped to rest for a while, panting and saying:
"It seems you are not completely stupid, you are still a bit smart!"
Yu Erye's eyes widened, and he suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Lao Pu and shouted:
"What do you mean, you, tell me quickly, did you see my parents?"
“Snap—”
Lao Pu waved the sole of his shoe and waved it at Yu Erye's head again:
"It's still your parents, only your parents, all your parents. Will you die if I mention your sister?!"
Lao Pu is usually a good-tempered person.
He had never lost his temper with anyone. Sai Jinhua had known him for decades and had never seen him lose his temper. But today, for some reason, Lao Pu vented all the anger that he had accumulated throughout his life towards Yu Erye.
He really couldn't stand it. As a younger sister, he always thought about his two brothers, but his two brothers never mentioned their sister, and when they did, they were full of complaints.
Lao Pu really couldn't stand it anymore.
What's the point of bringing such a heartless brother home?
Lao Pu really wanted to send this silly second brother back to the Ninth Company, back to Li Dasong’s home, and let him continue selling firewood!
Yu Erye was so happy that he didn't care about the blow on his head. He hugged Lao Pu and shook him hard, saying:
"Uncle, tell me quickly, have you met my parents? Did my parents ask you to come to us?"
Lao Pu really didn't have the energy to fight anymore. This guy was too shameless. He was an old man and really couldn't beat him.
He put down his shoes, stepped on them again, and said with a heavy breath:
"Come with me."
Yu Erye stood there, and for a moment he seemed to have forgotten how to lift his legs.
