Chapter 543 You've Taken the Wrong Medicine, We'll See
The third uncle's attitude left the second uncle somewhat puzzled.
He wondered to himself: When did Yan Fugui and Cai Quanwu become so close?
Didn't you two have a grudge against each other?
How could they possibly speak up for that bastard Cai Quanwu!
Something's wrong, something's very wrong...
Did the sun rise in the west today?
Looking up at the already set sun, the second uncle muttered to himself: "The sun still sets in the west!"
Could it be that Yan Fuyang took the wrong medicine today?
Otherwise, there's no reason for such a drastic change in attitude!
Or did Yan Laokou take a bribe from Cai Quanwu?
The more the second uncle thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Suddenly, he looked up and stared at the third uncle, as if trying to see something on the third uncle's face to verify his thoughts.
Seeing that his second uncle was not speaking but just staring at him, the third uncle was a little confused and couldn't help but ask:
"Old Liu, what are you looking at?"
"Let me see if you took the wrong medicine today."
Upon hearing the question from the third uncle, the second uncle blurted out his thoughts.
When the third uncle heard what the second uncle said, his face immediately darkened. How could anyone talk like that?
The third uncle glared at the second uncle and retorted with dissatisfaction, "You're the one who's taken the wrong medicine!"
"You haven't taken the wrong medicine, so why do you always speak up for that guy surnamed Cai?" Uncle Er gave his reason with great confidence.
The second uncle's words enraged the third uncle!
The old man never expected that the man surnamed Liu would slander him with such a baseless reason!
"This is utterly unreasonable and utterly absurd!"
The third uncle was a little disheartened. He thought to himself that there was no hope in him, so he snorted and walked towards the courtyard house after saying a few words.
As the second uncle watched the third uncle leave in anger, he became even more certain of his own thoughts.
If I hadn't been right, why would you, Old Yan, be so angry and embarrassed?
Yes, in the second uncle's view, the third uncle's behavior was simply a case of being embarrassed and angry.
This kind of reaction usually only occurs when someone has spoken out about what you're thinking.
"Let's wait and see!"
"I don't believe that we have to eat hairy pigs just because we're not with you, Yan Laokou."
After seeing the Third Uncle's figure disappear, the Second Uncle muttered something and also walked towards the courtyard.
……
Inside the courtyard house, at Sha Zhu's house.
Xiao Wu was smiling and talking to He Yushui, who was doing her homework, about Cai Quanwu being named an outstanding worker.
In this era, people's thoughts were simple and honest, and the slogan that "labor is the most glorious" was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Both men were proud that Cai Quanwu had been recognized as an outstanding worker.
After talking for a while, He Yushui suddenly stopped writing with her pencil, glanced at Cai Quanwu who was sitting there smoking, and said with a serious expression, "Uncle, I want to be an outstanding worker in the future."
"Okay, then you do your best."
Listening to He Yushui's simple ideas, Cai Quanwu smiled, exhaled a puff of smoke, and encouraged her.
However, Cai Quanwu had a different thought in mind.
Nowadays, the evaluation of outstanding workers is mostly based on facts, which generally convinces the public.
In another ten or twenty years, when He Yushui and the others have grown up and are qualified to participate in the selection, they will have to rely on connections.
There's no way around it; the generation with truly lofty ideals is slowly growing old.
The thinking of those who come later will change greatly, especially after experiencing certain events.
Of course, it's good for children to have ideas, and there's no need to discourage their enthusiasm.
He Yushui was very happy to hear Cai Quanwu's encouragement and nodded with a smile.
After listening to the conversation between Cai Quanwu and He Yushui, Xiao Wu laughed and said:
"Rain, if you want to be selected as an outstanding worker, you'd better study hard."
"Ah."
He Yushui hummed in agreement, then continued doing her homework.
After that, everyone fell silent, and the whole room suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of He Yushui's pencil scratching on the paper remaining.
After about ten minutes of silence, He Yushui finished her homework and had just packed her books into her schoolbag when Sha Zhu walked into the room carrying two lunchboxes.
"It's all there."
Sha Zhu entered the house, put his lunchbox on the table, and greeted everyone with a cheerful smile.
"Brother, Uncle has been recognized as an outstanding worker."
As soon as Sha Zhu finished greeting him, He Yushui couldn't wait to tell him the good news, her tone full of excitement.
"I knew that already."
"It's all over the factory."
After He Yushui finished speaking, Shazhu smiled and indicated that he already knew about it.
After speaking, Sha Zhu paused for a moment, patted the lunchbox on the table, and continued:
"So, after I found out about this, I spent money to buy some beef and half a chicken from the factory."
"Everything is ready, and we're planning to celebrate when we get back tonight."
Cai Quanwu was very pleased with Sha Zhu's attitude.
"That's thoughtful." Cai Quanwu nodded to Sha Zhu, acknowledging his performance.
After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, Xiao Wu chimed in, "We really need to celebrate..."
"Uh-huh."
Before Xiao Wu could finish speaking, He Yushui immediately nodded in agreement, while reaching out to grab the lunchbox from Sha Zhu's hand.
Interrupted, Xiao Wu didn't say anything more, but just watched quietly from the side.
When Sha Zhu saw He Yushui reaching out, he wisely removed his hand from the lunchbox.
He Yushui opened the lunchbox and immediately beamed with joy upon seeing the braised pork inside. She even leaned closer to smell it.
Unfortunately, the weather was too cold, and the meat froze, so the aroma wasn't there.
Xiao Wu smiled at He Yushui's actions, then turned to Sha Zhu and began to complain:
"When we came back just now, Uncle San was thinking of having Uncle set up a few tables!"
After listening to Xiao Wu's complaints, Sha Zhu was furious and muttered, "All he ever thinks about is taking advantage of others. Old Yan is dreaming..."
"Alright, alright, it's not worth getting angry with that kind of person."
"Go to the kitchen and check if the stove is burning brightly. If it is, then prepare dinner."
When Cai Quanwu saw Sha Zhu start cursing, he spoke up to appease him, interrupting Sha Zhu's attempt to continue cursing.
Walls have ears. It wouldn't be good if someone passed by the door and heard it. It would give the impression that they've become arrogant after gaining power.
Cai Quan couldn't help but want to stir up a storm.
"Come on."
Sha Zhu's expression softened a bit after hearing Cai Quanwu's words. He agreed, then turned to He Yushui, who was holding a lunchbox, and began to mock her.
"Alright, stop looking, you're drooling."
"No way!"
Hearing Sha Zhu's mockery, He Yushui instinctively retorted.
Then, he subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand.
After wiping her mouth and not finding anything amiss, He Yushui realized she had been tricked.
"You're lying!" He Yushui shouted, somewhat exasperated.
"Who told you to be so stupid?" Sha Zhu sneered.
After finishing his sentence, Sha Zhu ignored He Yushui, picked up his lunchbox, and walked out without looking back.
"He Yuzhu!"
Watching Sha Zhu's departing figure, He Yushui angrily called out Sha Zhu's full name.
"so rude!"
Cai Quanwu scolded He Yushui for calling Sha Zhu by his full name.
Joking aside, He Yushui's direct address of Sha Zhu by his full name still displeased Cai Quanwu.
Hearing Cai Quanwu's rebuke, He Yushui felt extremely wronged, tears welling up in her eyes. She said indignantly, "He lied to me first."
"Your brother was just teasing you, and you took it seriously."
Seeing that He Yushui was still unconvinced, Cai Quanwu frowned and said irritably.
Seeing that Cai Quanwu's expression was off, He Yushui dared not talk back anymore, and tears finally streamed down her face.
Xiao Wu, who was standing to the side, initially watched with great interest, as she had experienced many similar things at home before.
Her younger siblings often argued with her at home.
However, seeing He Yushui's tearful eyes, he had no choice but to step in.
Immediately, Xiao Wu smiled and smoothed things over: "Rain, don't cry, we'll go help your brother."
After saying that, he pulled He Yushui away...
