Chapter 50: A Bit Thick-skinned

But even if she didn't believe it, the deaf old lady didn't continue to attack Xu Damao. She just smiled and waved her hand.
"Okay, in that case, I won't care about the wife anymore."

On this side, He Yuzhu walked out of the house and went straight to the department store near Nanluoguxiang. He took out a dollar and bought 5 bottles of Coca-Cola.
I put it in a net bag and carried it back home.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, we saw He Daqing and the widow Bai getting off a cart with several large boxes on it.
I knew that this was the time when they got the certificate and moved back.

"Dad, Aunt Bai, how come you're back so soon? I haven't even started cooking yet!"

Hearing this, He Daqing, who had just gotten off the bus, turned around and looked at He Yuzhu standing at the entrance of the alley with five bottles of Coke in his hands.
I frowned subconsciously.
"I say, even if you have money, you can't squander it like this. Can we afford to drink foreign cola?

Even if you have money, you can't do this.

Have you bought the food and coal?"

Seeing that He Daqing noticed the Coke in his hand, He Yuzhu also felt a little embarrassed.
If the money in the space is not counted, the He family really can't afford foreign goods like Coke. His current behavior is no different from that of a prodigal son.
Without exposing the space, any explanation would seem pale and powerless.

But before he could say anything, the White Widow next to him came to his rescue.

Although the meaning of the words was to flatter He Yuzhu, it actually diverted He Daqing's attention.

"Zhu Zi, don't blame Aunt Bai for being too talkative.
Although the money your father gave you belongs to you and your sister, you can't waste it like this.

This foreign cola is so expensive.
Wouldn't it be better to save the money you have for drinking Coke and marry a wife in the future?"

Then she looked at He Daqing and said,
"Old He, don't be angry. Zhuzi and Yushui are young after all, so it's normal for them to be greedy.
Now that I have money, it’s no big deal to buy a few bottles of Coke.

We'll just take better care of it in the future."

Seeing that the White Widow wanted to take back the lost rights and abolish the treaty that had just been signed with just a few words, He Yuzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He Daqing also felt that they had just gotten married and had no emotional foundation at all.
I don't want the White Widow to succeed so easily.
"Alright, alright, let Zhuzi handle his own affairs.
Anyway, he and Yushui have already paid for next month's food expenses, so it's not like they're eating and drinking for free.
Let's just stop interfering.

By the way, Zhuzi, you can also bring Qingshan to play with you, so you can share some of the Coke with him."

Li Qingshan was born in 1942, two years older than He Yushui, and was also a little kid. He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't bother with him just because his mother was the White Widow.

Besides, since He Daqing is so supportive, it's not impossible to ease the somewhat tense family relationship.

If Li Qingshan listened to him from now on, White Widow would probably be furious.
why not!

"I know dad."

After saying that, He Yuzhu waved to Li Qingshan who was standing next to the White Widow, smiling like a little fox.
"Come here, Qingshan, and go home with me.
I'll drink Coke with Yu Shui and the others later."

Although Li Qingshan was a little kid, he had seen Coca-Cola in the windows of department stores and knew that it was a foreign soda that he could not afford.
Now that he saw He Yuzhu had it in his hands, he was naturally very envious.

It's just that he had just arrived in a strange place and was not familiar with He Yuzhu, so naturally he had to follow the words of Bai Guafu.

Seeing his son looking at him pitifully,

Widow Bai, who was still sulking because of He Daqing's words, originally didn't want to agree.

But when he thought about his son's integration into the courtyard in the future, he finally nodded.

"Go play with your brother Zhuzi."

After getting his mother's consent, Li Qingshan ran to He Yuzhu with a smile on his face, and then looked at the Coke bottle with some curiosity.

"Brother Zhuzi, is the Coke delicious?"

As for Coke, He Yuzhu is not sure whether it tastes good or not.
Anyway, in the future,
He didn't want to drink it for the sake of his teeth. After thinking about it, he said half-truthfully,

"It should taste good! I haven't tried it either, let's try it when we get back."

"it is good!"

When I returned to the front yard and entered the wing room, I saw Xu Damao flattering his two sisters.

His mouth that can bring the dead back to life has begun to show its true colors.
He Yushui and Xu Zhaodi actually forgave him.
At this moment, He Yuzhu interrupted at the right time and said,
"Xu Damao, didn't you say you wouldn't go out? Why did you come to my house at this time?"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao answered without thinking,
"Of course I'll come over to take a look.
You have money in your pocket now. If you really buy Coke for Yu Shui, I will be at a huge loss if I am not there."

As Xu Damao said this, he turned around and saw He Yuzhu holding several bottles of Coke.
"Wow! Look! Look, what did I say! What did I say,

You actually went to buy a Coke.

I told you, if I didn't come over to watch, I don't know how much trouble I would suffer later.
Zhuzi, hurry up and bring it over for the sisters to taste."

Looking at this guy's shameless face, He Yuzhu really didn't know what to say.

This person is as shameless as me.

"How come you only saw the Coke in my hand and didn't see that there was someone beside me?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao finally took his eyes off the Coke bottle and discovered that it was a child he had never seen before, at least not in Nanluoguxiang.

Then he asked with some doubt,
"Zhu Zi, who is this guy?"

"Li Qingshan, Aunt Bai's son, will be my brother from now on. You should take care of him in the courtyard. Do you hear me?"

After that, He Yuzhu turned around and introduced Li Qingshan.
"Qingshan, you've already met Yushui. The sister next to her is called Xu Zhaodi. She's the same age as Yushui and two years younger than you.

"Sister Zhaodi,"

"Brother Qingshan."

This ugly, shameless guy is called Xu Damao, Zhaodi's brother. You can just call him Brother Damao."

"Brother Damao!"

"Hello, Brother Qingshan!"

After greeting Li Qingshan, Xu Damao started to yell,

"Zhu Zi, what are you talking about? Who is shameless and ugly?
Don't you even look at my appearance? What's so vulgar about me?"

As he was talking, he saw He Yuzhu holding a Coke bottle and waving it in front of him. The threat was too obvious.

Xu Damao had no choice but to change his words.
"Okay, you are rich and you are the boss, I am shameless and look ugly, okay?

Just show off,

Hurry up and take the bowl and pour out the Coke for us to taste. Don't waste time."

Seeing him saying that he was wasting time, He Yuzhu wanted to argue with him for a while, but when he saw He Yushui and the others looking at him eagerly, he let Xu Damao go for the time being.
Based on the principle of driving one sheep away and letting two sheep go,

He Yuzhu took the children out of the house and asked Xu Damao to call other people.
