Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chen Xu, who was still wandering outside, had no idea that the two younger children of the Liu family were planning to ask him to persuade their father.

Chen Xu, who was strolling in the alley, met two people who had just left the courtyard.

"Brother Chen..." X2

Chen Xu nodded slightly, thinking it was just a normal greeting. He responded and was about to go to Shichahai to take a look, but he was unexpectedly stopped by Liu Guangtian.

"Brother Chen, we have something to discuss with you."

Chen Xu was a little curious. What could these two brothers want from him?

Although he had no hatred against the Liu family, he also had no friendship with them. They were just nodding acquaintances. Even if these two brothers had any problems, they should not be able to find him.

Facing Chen Xu's question, Liu Guangtian gritted his teeth and said.

"Brother Chen, how about I treat you to a meal today and we can talk slowly."

Chen Xu was silent for a moment and shook his head decisively.

"If you have something to say, just say it. No merit, no reward."

He could only think of one thing that would make these two kids spend a lot of money to ask him for help, but he was powerless to do it, and he didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs.

"Wow, Brother Chen, please give us some advice, we really can't survive..."

Liu Guangtian was just a little depressed, but Liu Guangfu had already started crying. He was so heartbroken that anyone who saw him would cry and feel sad.

Chen Xu had a headache. He had probably guessed why these two guys were looking for him, but he didn't think he had the ability to change Liu Haizhong's mind.

Moreover, you are wrong to think that Liu Guangfu is a good person.

In Chen Xu's memory, this guy stole Xu Damao's business. Chen Xu still remembers the sarcasm and ridicule he made towards Xu Damao at that time. However, in the end, he lost all his property due to poor management.

There are really no good people in Siheyuan. Chen Xu doesn't like dealing with people from Siheyuan. This is the biggest key point. Any one of them would be looked down upon.

As for Xu Damao, he is not a good person at all. It is a coincidence that Chen Xu can become friends with him.

Chen Xu himself was not a good person, but he did not want to have much contact with these beasts.

Even in darkness, we still yearn for light.

Who doesn’t want to be surrounded by upright gentlemen?

Just like this time, they asked Chen Xu for help, but have they ever thought about whether Chen Xu has the ability to help them? They just came to him because they felt that Chen Xu might be useful.

He never considered why Liu Haizhong would listen to Chen Xu. If it were so easy to change Liu Haizhong's mind, he would have changed it long ago.

"Instead of thinking this way, why not work hard to change yourself? Once you have a family and a career, you will be able to make your own decisions."

Chen Xu didn't pay any attention to it and just turned around and left.

"Brother, what do you mean by Brother Chen?"

"He means to change Dad's mind, but that's impossible. He might as well work hard to find a job and then make his own decisions when he has money."

Liu Guangtian remained calm and translated Chen Xu's words.

"But I'm afraid I won't live to see that day, woo woo woo."

Liu Guangtian felt a headache watching his younger brother crying for several times in a row. At the beginning, he didn't expect Chen Xu to help. After all, even if he found someone, he had to find someone of the same generation as his father. How could Chen Xu, a junior, convince his father?

But he couldn't stand his brother talking about it all the time, so he decided to give it a try. The result was just as he expected, Chen Xu had no way to deal with his father.

As for trying to change himself, Liu Guangtian didn't hold out any hope. In today's world, you really can't get anything just by working hard. The two brothers had looked for jobs before.

I am still looking for it now, but what is the result?

After standing there and thinking for a while, Liu Guangtian was not discouraged. Although Chen Xu did not help, he did not cheat his two brothers. If he gave them a meal and ended up getting nothing in return, that would be cheating.

Turning around and holding his brother's shoulders, Liu Guangtian seemed to have made an important decision.

"Guangfu, what do you think will happen if we move out?"

"I'll probably starve to death..."

Liu Guangfu wiped his tears and told the truth.

Liu Guangtian nearly choked to death, can't you have some ambition?

How could we, two grown men, starve ourselves to death?

But thinking about the horror of famine now, it seems like I could really starve to death...

unless...

Liu Guangtian did not express his thoughts. After all, this matter still needed long-term consideration. If he wanted to avoid starving to death, there was only one way, which was to split the family.

As long as he and his brother's household registration were separated, they would each have their own rations and food. Even if their lives were harder, they would not starve to death.

However, Liu Guangtian felt discouraged when he thought that if he went home and asked for a division of the family property, he might be beaten to death before the family property was divided.

Although he had a vague idea in his mind, he was really unwilling to choose until the last step.

That is to ask the street office to intervene. Given his and his brother's current treatment, this might succeed, but it would also mean completely severing ties with the Liu family. Liu Guangqi was hesitant to make this decision.

This thought just passed through his mind, and he had no intention of speaking it out loud.

But once a person has an idea, if the situation does not change, the idea will take root and sprout like a seed, and it is only a matter of time before he does so.

In fact, Chen Xu also thought of this method, but he didn't intend to say it out loud.

After all, this matter itself has nothing to do with him. If he intervenes, it will inevitably mean destroying someone else's family.

Of course he would not do such a thing, it would only be asking for trouble.

As far as he could remember, the two brothers did run away in the end, probably using this method. There was no need for Chen Xu to remind them, as it was only a matter of time anyway.

After leaving the courtyard, Chen Xu went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some desserts and snacks and then went to the hospital.

These days, these are all you need to visit a patient.

These things, which were later called supplementary foods, are now considered high-end gifts that most people cannot afford.

Ward.

Xu Damao is sleeping.

He suffered a lot last night and didn't feel better until the morning when he fell into a deep sleep.

Lou Xiao'e was chatting with Qin Huairu, while Qu Jiu was sitting beside them like a piece of wood.

When she saw Chen Xu come in, the girl looked at him and rolled her eyes with a look of disgust.

Chen Xu found it funny that this girl was still mad at him for his lack of martial ethics.

Ever since returning from her hometown, this little girl has never given him a good look, but he doesn't care. Who would bother with a little girl for no reason?

After putting the things on the bedside table, Chen Xu turned around and asked Lou Xiaoe.

"How is Xu Damao?"

"It's fine. I didn't sleep last night and fell asleep not long ago. The doctor said I can be discharged from the hospital after the swelling goes down."

Chen Xu nodded. Xu Damao’s injury was not serious, but it was quite annoying.

After all, for men, if something happens somewhere else, they can just grit their teeth and get over it, but it is really unbearable for something to happen to the second brother.

"Chen Xu, you and Xu Damao have a really good relationship."

Qin Huairu looked at the pastries that Chen Xu brought over and said with some envy.

"It's pretty good."

Chen Xu didn't object. He had few friends in this world, and Xu Damao was one of them. They could be considered to have a good relationship.

Jia Dongxu was a little depressed. Xu Damao at least had Chen Xu to visit him, but as a patient, he had never seen anyone visit him. Even his respected master had only come once at the beginning. This made him somewhat disappointed.

It seemed that from the moment he became disabled, everyone around him changed.

Oh, not all of them, except Chen Xu.

I used to ignore him, and it's the same now, nothing has changed...
