Chapter 242: Melee
Liu Guangtian gave a cold snort, looked at Liu Guangfu, and said:
"Hey hey hey, I'm saying this, Comrade Liu Guangfu, ah."
"It's not your turn by seniority, ah."
"What nonsense are you stirring up here, huh?"
"Haven't you seen that I've already come back?"
"My purpose in coming back is to take care of and be filial to my parents."
Liu Guangfu: "No way, second older brother, Mom and Dad still don't like you."
Liu Guangtian: "What gives you the right to say Mom and Dad don't like me?"
"What, you like me?"
"Tell me, what do Mom and Dad like about you? Speak!"
Liu Guangfu let out a long sigh, speaking in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh well, can't compare to the eldest brother, but I'm a bit stronger than you."
"How about this, let Mom and Dad decide, how about that?"
Liu Guangtian got angry.
He slapped the table and shouted:
"Dad, Mom, you speak."
"Who do you like, the two of us?"
Liu Haizhong roared: "I don't want either of them!"
"All of you, get lost!"
Liu Guangtian pointed at Liu Haizhong and said patiently:
"Dad, we brothers have been getting a beating from you every now and then since we were kids."
"Until I finally started working."
"You always said give me a big slap and you'd give me a big slap; have you seen me resist?"
Liu Haizhong furrowed his brows, turned his head to look at Liu Guangtian, and retorted scornfully:
"You dare, you?"
Liu Guangtian: "I don't dare, I certainly don't dare."
"Because back then I couldn't beat you."
Saying this, facing Liu Haizhong, he roared:
"Now try moving against me."
Second Aunt, upon hearing this, hurriedly stood up, grabbed Liu Guangtian's collar, and shouted:
"Guangtian, how could you say such disrespectful words to your dad."
Liu Guangtian, angry, shook her off and snapped:
"I'll say what I want, you can't control me."
Liu Guangfu's wife pointed at Liu Guangtian and shouted:
"Guangfu, he's unfilial, hurry."
Liu Guangfu pointed at Liu Guangtian and shouted:
"You, you, how can you treat our mother like this?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed over and slapped Liu Guangtian.
Then.
Liu Guangtian and his wife and Liu Guangfu began a melee...
Liu Haizhong was already furious to the point of being unable to bear it.
He stood up, intending to intervene.
But not knowing who hit him, he collapsed to the ground and passed out.
Second Aunt also saw this, hurriedly rushed over, and cried out:
"You two bastards, stop fighting."
"You guys, hurry over and look at your dad."
Xu Damao's home.
Bang Geng was chopping vegetables.
He had practically become a servant in Xu Damao's household.
He does all kinds of work.
Xu Damao, meanwhile, is also happy to be leisurely and carefree.
Suddenly.
Xu Damao walked over and asked Bang Geng:
"Hey, Bang Geng, last time I sent you to the countryside to show a movie, didn't they pay you?"
Hearing this, Bang Geng couldn't help but furrow his brows, and after a few seconds looked at Xu Damao and said:
"No."
Xu Damao kept staring at Bang Geng.
This expression, plus the fact that he took a few seconds to answer,
made him feel that Bang Geng was hiding something from him.
After hesitating a bit, he said:
No, it should be given.
I give it every time I go.
Oh, remember, next time, no matter where I tell you to go.
If they don't give money, you just ask them for it.
You must give it, hear me?
For things that need to be returned, we'll do as we agreed.
You take half, I take half.
The money, I get seven, you get three.
Remember, okay?
Bang Geng nodded and said, "Understood."
Though that's what was said, Bang Geng secretly thought to himself:
Nice try, I'm the one who projects the movie, it's so much work.
You pay back the money, you get seven, I say "pah!"
Yi Zhonghai's home.
Yi Zhonghai was looking at a folk remedy for headaches.
Yi Dama walked over.
Yi Zhonghai asked, "Has his second elder been discharged from the hospital?"
Second Aunt: "He's been discharged, but as soon as he walked in the door, he saw his two precious sons, Guangtian and Guangfu."
Each took over a temporary shed.
He was so angry he immediately lay back down on the bed.
Yi Zhonghai: "That's his own doing."
I already told his second and third elders not to take advantage.
You say, how much of the courtyard have they taken over?
Others can't really say anything, yet they still learn from them.
You say, our big courtyard, besides our central yard and front and back yards, what have you built it into?
Yi Dama: "Ah, the old Yan family is fine, no trouble over the house."
Yi Zhonghai: "What trouble does his family have? Their family tradition is scheming."
Who schemed the water?
The side that suffers loss, humph, next time we'll scheme back.
After saying that, he stood up, walked to a side table, picked up two packets of medicine, and walked toward the door.
Yi Dama hurriedly asked, "Hey, where are you going with that?"
Yi Zhonghai: "I'm taking it to his second elder."
His second elder has always had migraines, right?
I happen to be going to that pharmacy.
Old Li said this folk remedy is just right for treating migraines.
Yi Dama: "Then come back early to eat."
Today the kids are all coming back to eat.
Yi Zhonghai nodded, gave an "uh", and walked out.
Arriving at the back courtyard, Liu Guangfu was at his doorstep.
Yi Zhonghai greeted him.
Liu Guangfu: "Hey, Eldest Uncle, what's this?"
Yi Zhonghai lifted the medicine in his hand and said:
If you want to be filial to your father, go, have your wife boil this medicine.
Liu Guangfu smiled and said, "No thanks, I don't have a pot, I don't have a medicine pot, how can I boil it?"
Yi Zhonghai furrowed his brow and said, "Our courtyard only has that one medicine pot, we pass it around house to house."
A few days ago, Xu Damao took it to boil medicine; it should be with him now.
After saying that, he handed the medicine in his hand to Liu Guangfu.
Helpless, Liu Guangfu had no choice but to take it.
Then.
He glanced at Yi Zhonghai's back and shouted:
Wife, come out.
Liu Guangfu's wife came out and asked:
What's up?
Liu Guangfu handed the medicine to her and said:
Hold this, I'm going to find the medicine pot.
In a bit I'll have it boiled.
Liu Guangfu's wife gave him a white look and said angrily:
Why?
Isn't your older brother filial?
Don't your parents dote on your older brother?
Let your older brother come back and simmer.
Liu Guangfu thought for a moment, nodded, and said:
That's also true.
Hey, you take it for now.
I'm going to Xu Damao's house to get the Medicine Pot.
After saying that, Liu Guangfu walked toward Xu Damao's house.
Liu Guangfu's wife gave his back a glare and complained:
Really hopeless.
Liu Guangfu stopped, glanced back, then walked to the front of Xu Damao's house and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Xu Damao, Xu Damao, Xu Damao...
Liu Guangfu knocked while shouting.
Xu Damao opened the door, spoke irritably:
No, what are you doing? Calling for souls?
Liu Guangfu let out a cold laugh and said in a sarcastic tone:
I won't call you Xu Damao; should I call you Deputy Director Xu instead?
