Chapter 1482: Brotherly Love

Red Star Sihe Academy

First Aunt spent money to set up a big table of wine and dishes, one to celebrate Yi Zhonghai's return home, and one to thank Xu Damao for his running around. Even if Yi Zhonghai was reluctant and Shazhu's nose wasn't a nose and his eyes weren't eyes, First Aunt still insisted on setting this table, and Deaf Granny also spoke in support.

Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu felt uncomfortable, but First Aunt and Deaf Granny understood human relationships, especially in the current situation. Yi Zhonghai was home, but he was still in a state of "observation." In the future, they would still need Xu Damao to come forward and move around, striving to restore his work as soon as possible. Otherwise, their whole family would really have to sit and eat until they were empty.

First Aunt poured wine for Xu Damao diligently: "Damao, drink, come and eat. This time your uncle could come home, it's all thanks to you."

Xu Damao held his wine glass proudly, shaking his head and saying: "This time I've used up a lot of favors. If it weren't for my face, which leader would be willing to manage such a thankless thing? You don't know how sensitive and serious this matter was. If it weren't for me running around, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to eat this meal for three or five years, and even if you could, you'd probably be eating at a funeral."

"Cough, cough!"

Yi Zhonghai coughed with an ugly face: "Damao, I know you've worked hard this time. I am very grateful. I said before that the most promising person in our courtyard is you. Sure enough, now looking at the whole courtyard, no one has a higher position or greater ability than you. In the future, this old guy will have to rely on your care."

"Hmph."

Watching First Aunt and Yi Zhonghai flattering Xu Damao, Shazhu felt as if a stone was blocking his heart, full of indignation and disdain. What is Xu Damao? A bad seed full of bad water. What ability does he have? Isn't it just flattering and engaging in those messy things? What is it? I just don't bother to flatter leaders. Otherwise, Cao Weiguo would have to lick my shoes. This grandson Xu Damao isn't even qualified to pour my urine.

Xu Damao caught Shazhu's disdainful expression, straightened his face, and slammed his wine glass on the table, mocking: "Shazhu, what's with that expression? What's the matter, are you unconvinced or do you have an opinion? Tell me, what have you done since your godfather was arrested? You just hook up with widows at home, serve your object of affection, and have forgotten your godfather to the back of your mind, right? Your godfather treated you like his own son, and this is how you repay him? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? I saved your godfather, and you don't even toast a glass to thank me, but you're still putting on a stinking face. Do you still want any face? Also, your face was lost in a widow's crotch, you've long since had no face."

"Bang!"

Slapping the table, Shazhu roared in anger: "Dog thing, what did you say? Xu Damao, you low-life, what are you? What qualifications do you have to point fingers at me?"

Xu Damao mocked: "What qualifications do I have? Just because I fished your godfather out, just because I did more than you, just because I put in more effort than you. Anyway, at this table, I am more qualified than you. If you're unconvinced, let's debate. You tell me yourself, what have you done for your godfather?" Shazhu was red with anger. First Aunt hurriedly tried to mediate: "Alright, alright, why say these things on a happy day? Everyone eat and drink harmoniously. Damao, you are our benefactor, Shazhu is our godson. You are both good. It is our blessing to have you two juniors. Come, I'll pour you wine, you two brothers touch a glass."

Yi Zhonghai reached out and grabbed Shazhu's arm, pulling Shazhu to sit down: "Zhuzi, sit down, what are you doing? Is this how I taught you before? You should love each other when treating neighbors, how can you have conflicts at every turn? As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Just take this time, if it weren't for a good neighbor like Damao helping to move around, can we sit at a table and eat now? No matter what conflicts you had before, those are things of the past. From now on, you should look forward together. You are brothers who grew up together, so you should be like hands and feet, advancing and retreating together. Unity is strength. What good does it do you to fight each other?"

First Aunt echoed from the side: "Your uncle is right. Listen to your uncle's advice. It's better to resolve grievances than to tie them. You are both capable and promising good children. You both work in the same factory. If you help each other and take care of each other, isn't that a good thing? Two people's strength is always greater than one person's. Don't you think so? Look at you, growing up together in the courtyard and working together, you are simply born brothers."

"Pah!"

"I vomit!"

After First Aunt finished speaking, Shazhu and Xu Damao reacted violently at the same time.

Brothers?

Shazhu and Xu Damao looked at each other, the thick brotherly love almost overflowing from their eyes: Brother, you can go with peace of mind, I have the sister-in-law.

Yi Zhonghai said earnestly: "Zhuzi, Damao, after this incident, I finally realized how happy it is to be able to sit at home and eat, and how reassuring it is to see the neighbors in the courtyard. Likewise, when I was outside, holding a corn bun, I felt so lonely and helpless. Fortunately, I have you all—I have Damao and I have Zhuzi. When I returned from the outside and saw you, I suddenly had a thought: I have no children, so in the future, my salary and property will all go to you. You are my children."

Salary!

Property!

Shazhu and Xu Damao were both stunned, and their eyes suddenly became bright.

Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-grade worker, and his salary was very high. Although he was down and out now, what if he could get up in the future? What if he could restore his work in the future?

Their couple couldn't spend so much salary. If it could be put into their own pockets, it would also be a lot of income.

Xu Damao didn't lack money, but who would think that money was too hot to handle?

Shazhu was too short of money. He wanted to marry Jin Lian, he wanted to take care of Qin Huairu, he wanted to buy a house... He needed money too much.

"Uncle! No! Godfather! I will definitely be filial to you! I am your child!"

Carrying an excited mood, Shazhu grabbed Yi Zhonghai's hand with deep affection. In his heart, Yi Zhonghai, who was willing to give him money, was his father, and money was his father...

Yi Zhonghai resisted the urge to wipe off the goosebumps and pushed away Shazhu's oily hand with a loving smile: "Zhuzi, I know your heart, and I have always treated you as my own child."

Deaf Granny, who had been silent, nodded with a smile: "Good! Good! Father is kind and son is filial! I, the old lady, am happy! Even if I die now, I can close my eyes."

Xu Damao dismantled the stage from the side: "Old lady, are you drunk? I saw the father is kind, but where is the son filial? Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Could it be that it fell into the latrine?" ===== CHAPTER 1484 =====
