Siheyuan: Seventeen-year-old He Yuzhu

When I returned to the courtyard and just walked into the yard, I heard wailing sounds.

After listening carefully, it turned out that the sound came from Liu Haizhong's home.

Needless to say, it must be another traditional event. Liu Haizhong beat up the brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangdi.

To be honest, He Yuzhu didn't understand Liu Haizhong's behavior at all. He wondered why he treated Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangdi in this way.

They are both your sons.

Compared with the misery of these two brothers, the eldest brother of their family, Liu Guangqi, is very happy.

Liu Haizhong and his wife almost always met his requests, and never lacked food, clothes, and pocket money.

The two of them placed their hopes for support in their old age on the eldest son, but they didn't think about it and just beat the second and third sons all day long. The eldest son was scared when he saw it.

Moreover, such different treatments caused Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangdi to dislike Liu Guangqi very much, and even to be somewhat hostile to him.

Therefore, their relationship is very bad.

He Yuzhu remembers that after Liu Guangqi got married, he ran away and never came back.

As for providing for Liu Haizhong and his wife in their old age, he probably hasn't even thought about it.

The reason why Liu Guangqi became so heartless might be related to his current growing environment.

"Brother, you are back."

He Yushui was sitting in the yard. When she saw He Yuzhu walk into the yard, she ran over.

"Yushui, I went to the silk shop and the shelter today. I came back a little late. Have you eaten?"

"Brother, I'm not hungry and I haven't eaten yet." Yu Shui replied.

He Yuzhu reduced Yu Shui's pocket money a little, but overall it was still okay.

She can still buy some snacks and food, and when she comes back, she can eat this and that, and she won't be so hungry anymore.

"Brother, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangdi are too miserable. They are beaten by the second uncle several times every week."

The screams had not yet stopped. Yu Shui listened to the sound and took a breath of cold air, "It's so tragic."

He Yuzhu asked, "Do you know why the Second Master beat them this time?"

Of course, there doesn’t necessarily have to be a reason.

In the past, when the second uncle was in a bad mood, he would beat these two brothers to vent his anger.

He Yushui thought for a moment and said, "I heard that it was Second Aunt who bought new clothes for Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangdi saw it and wanted some too."

"Ugh......"

"As a result, this is what's happening now."

"I didn't get the clothes, but was beaten by the second uncle instead."

"This fight has been going on for more than ten minutes. The second uncle is really ruthless."

He Yuzhu nodded. So that was the reason. It was indeed a very common reason.

Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangdi had been beaten many times before because of issues related to clothes and snacks.

This time, they still held out hope, thinking that Uncle and Auntie would buy them new clothes as well. How naive they were.

But it is understandable. They are all young, about the same age as Yu Shui, and don’t think that much.

In a few years, they probably won't do such things anymore.

If Liu Haizhong treats them like this now, when he gets old and the eldest brother runs away, how will the second and third brothers take care of him in his old age?

"Yushui, I'm going to cook. Do you want anything to eat?"

Yu Shui said happily, "As long as it's made by my brother, I like to eat it."

She felt that she was very happy. In this yard, none of the children of her age lived better than her.

Needless to say, the two in the second uncle's family are still crying in pain.

Although the third uncle's family did not have to be beaten, they lived a very tight life. They ate very simply and wore very plain clothes. "Simple" is just a nice way of saying it. In fact, the clothes they wore were very old and turned white from being washed. They were covered with patches.

Other things weren't going so well either.

He Yushui had new clothes to wear, pocket money, and good food to eat, and her brother He Yuzhu was also very good to her.

It’s just so blissful.

He Yushui thought to herself, I should also be nicer to my brother.

Pay more attention to him.

Suddenly, she remembered that her brother had just said he went to Sister Xueru's silk shop.

Has their relationship taken a step further?

He Yushui felt that she had to care about her brother's major life events.

She stopped listening to the noise and hurried to the stove.

He Yuzhu was processing the ingredients, and when he saw He Yushui coming over, he asked, "What's wrong? Have you thought of something to eat?"

"If you want to eat something, tell me before I cook, otherwise you will have to eat whatever I cook."

Yu Shui shook her head and said, "Brother, I didn't come to you for this, just do whatever you want."

He Yuzhu asked: "Why is that?"

"If it's not important, let's talk about it later. I still have to cook."

He Yushui said: "Brother, just talk while you do it."

"Did you go to see Sister Xueru today?"

He Yuzhu was still processing the ingredients, and without looking up, he said, "Yes."

Yu Shui asked, "Brother, why did you go to see Sister Xue Ru?"

He Yuzhu put the cut ingredients aside and started to wash the pot. "Didn't you promise her last time that you would cook for her again?"

"I'm going to ask her today when she's free."

Yu Shui was excited, she still remembered this incident.

The last time I went to Sister Xueru's house, it didn't have any effect because of Officer Bai. I hope Officer Bai won't come to cause trouble again this time.

I asked expectantly, "What did Sister Xueru say? When are you going?"

He Yuzhu cleaned the pot and lit the fire.

"She said she was going on a business trip and wouldn't be back for a while, so she'll talk to me when she gets back."

"Ah?" He Yushui was stunned. "What a coincidence?"

He Yuzhu said: "It's unfortunate, but there's no rush. It will be the same if I go after she comes back."

He Yushui screamed in her heart, why not be anxious?

You should catch up with such a good person like Sister Xueru as soon as possible.

If this drags on, what if something unexpected happens?

Or what if the relationship between my brother and Officer Bai progressed rapidly during this time?

Although Officer Bai is also very good, I still like Sister Xueru.

He Yushui decided to keep an eye on her brother for Sister Xueru in the future.

You should also mention Sister Xueru more in front of your brother and say good things about her, so that your brother will always remember her.

After dinner, He Yuzhu lay on the bed.

Take a look at the panel.

【Cooking Skills: Level 3567 (/)】

【Housework: Level 130 (1000/)】

[Hunting: Level 1487 (5000/)]

[National Martial Arts: Level 4100 (5000/)]

[Beast Taming: Level 3670 (5000/)]

[Medical Skills: Level 1020 (5000/)]

Many of them have already reached level four, and their proficiency in Chinese martial arts and beast taming is not far from level five. They can upgrade with a little more effort.

At the same time, He Yuzhu also noticed that the proficiency of medical skills had been greatly improved this time.

Originally, treating a patient would only increase proficiency by 10 points, but this time it increased by 50 points.

He guessed that it might be related to the severity of the disease.

Old Ding’s illness had already put one foot on the verge of death, but he was pulled back by He Yuzhu.

So the proficiency has been improved a lot.

"It seems that we should treat more seriously ill patients in the future, so that we can improve faster."

"If this is the case with medical skills, are other skills also like this?"

He Yuzhu thought it should be the same.
