Chapter 440 The resentment between the two brothers and the conflict between Zhang Fen and his wife

Li Kailang knew nothing about what happened in the village.

He got the pheasant that day and hurried back to the city to kill it and make chicken soup for Lu's mother.

Lu Wenjiang was afraid that the chicken soup would be stolen, so he ran back home and personally guarded the chicken soup, not letting anyone get close.

The people in the yard smelled the chicken soup and took their bowls to get some chicken soup, but Lu Wenjiang refused them all.

After all, this soup is made with pheasant and various medicinal herbs. The soup is not only nutritious, but also contains a lot of oil and water, and the taste is delicious.

Everyone is so bored that they are almost bored. If they can have a sip of it, it will be like eating a big piece of meat.

The soup was simmered for several hours, bringing out all the nutritional value of the pheasant meat and medicinal herbs. Lu Wenjiang hurriedly brought it to Luo Ruiyun while it was still hot.

"Ruiyun, be careful, it's hot. Let me blow it for you."

Lu Wenjiang slowly blew away the hot steam from the chicken soup. Fearing that it would scald Luo Ruiyun, he took it back and waited until it cooled down a little before handing it to her.

"Whoo~"

Luo Ruiyun took a sip of the chicken soup gently, and various flavors intertwined in his mouth, including the salty and fresh taste of the chicken soup and the fragrance of the medicinal herbs.

After taking a mouthful of chicken soup, Luo Ruiyun immediately felt warm all over and his face became a little rosy.

After that, Luo Ruiyun drank the soup in big gulps and finished it all in one gulp.

After drinking it, Luo Ruiyun felt warm all over, his face became flushed, and he felt some sweat on his forehead and back.

"It's useful, it's useful." Lu Wenjiang said happily when he saw the obvious changes in Luo Ruiyun.

Luo Ruiyun looked at the pot of chicken and said, "Wenjiang, I can't eat any more. You can eat this meat."

Lu Wenjiang looked at the pot of untouched meat and his appetite was tempted, but he still refused verbally: "No, this chicken soup is all yours, I can't eat it."

"But I'm full and can't eat anymore. Just eat it. Don't waste it."

Seeing that Luo Ruiyun was really full, Lu Wenjiang wanted to take a sip.

Suddenly, a voice came.

"No."

Li Kailang walked in.

"Sister-in-law, the nutrients in this pot of chicken soup are all in the meat. Drinking the soup won't replenish much. You have to eat the meat. Eating meat will help your body recover faster."

"Xiao Li, why are you here?" Lu Wenjiang asked.

"I watched my sister-in-law drink the chicken soup." Li Kailang looked at Luo Ruiyun and repeated, "Sister-in-law, you can drink less soup, but you must eat all the meat."

In order to make Luo Ruiyun pay attention, Li Kailang said: "Sister-in-law, the medical books say that since large molecular proteins cannot be dissolved after cooking, the protein still mainly exists in the chicken."

Li Kailang poured a lot of profound knowledge into the two people's minds. They felt it was impressive and thought that what Li Kailang said was right, so they just listened to him.

Nowadays people think that all the nutrition is in the soup. After all, the chicken has been stewed for several hours and becomes tough, which is not as delicious as the chicken soup.

Luo Ruiyun nodded and just looked at the chicken in the bowl and the pot. She had just drunk enough and really had no appetite to eat chicken.

This is when the importance of reading comes into play. If you tell people something profound that they can't understand, they will feel it's profound and will naturally follow it.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." The pheasant is relatively small and there is not much meat, so we can finish it in a while.

"Eat what you need. I'll go to the countryside tomorrow and I should be able to get another hen to make soup."

"Xiao Li, thank you for your help." Lu Wenjiang said gratefully. He didn't know how to get a chicken, but Li Kailang could do it.

Especially at this time of year, Li Kailang had to pay countless favors to get the chicken.

"It's not a big deal. It's just something I do on the way. Okay, I still have to go back to the factory to eat." Li Kailang waved his hand.

"Sister-in-law, you must eat all the chicken."

"Do not worry."

Li Kailang left the room and did not go back to the steel rolling mill directly. Instead, he went to another ward.

The brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are still in the hospital. Since we are here, we might as well go and see them.

At this time, the two brothers' backs were still aching. After eating the simple meals brought by the second aunt, they just lay on the hospital bed.

"Guangtian, Guangfu."

The two brothers heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw Li Kailang.

"Brother Li!"

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

Li Kailang explained: "I came to see you. You won't blame me for taking so long to see you. I was busy at the steel mill some time ago and I really didn't have time."

"No way. It's just that we are glad that Brother Li can come to see us. We can't blame Brother Li." Liu Guangtian said happily.

The two brothers were extremely terrified. They had been lying in the hospital for several days and no one in the yard had come to see them. Li Kailang was the first one, which made them very happy.

The two men forced themselves to sit up despite their back injuries, their faces gleaming with pain, which showed how ruthlessly Liu Haizhong had attacked them.

"Hey, hey, hey, just lie down, no need to get up." Li Kailang said hurriedly. If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they would think he was abusing the two brothers.

But the two brothers endured the pain and sat up.

Seeing this, Li Kailang stopped trying to dissuade him and asked with concern, "Does it still hurt?"

The two of them looked dim and just nodded: "Yeah."

Li Kailang took out a handful of candy from his pocket: "Eat some candy, the pain will go away after eating it."

The two brothers looked at the candy and their eyes changed again. They had never eaten candy since they were little, and it was always Liu Guangqi who ate it. Now, an outsider was giving them the candy.

The two brothers didn't know what to say in their hearts. They were moved, sad, helpless, and angry. All kinds of emotions were mixed and intertwined in their hearts.

"Eat it. Don't be polite. Eat some candy to make you feel better." Li Kailang didn't know how to comfort the two of them.

The two of them scraped off the sugar coating and ate it in one bite.

The sweetness of the candy blossomed in their mouths, making the two of them shed tears uncontrollably.

As they chewed and chewed, the sweetness of the candy released, and their mood improved a lot, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised.

"Thank you, Brother Li."

"You're welcome. We're from the same courtyard."

The two were silent. Yes, they were from the same courtyard, so why was there such a big difference between them?

Liu Guangtian suddenly said, "Brother Li, what do you think we should do? It's clearly Liu Guangqi's fault, why should we be beaten?"

Liu Guangfu echoed: "Yes, it's obviously Liu Guangqi's fault. Why would he beat us instead of him?"

The two men have been resentful of Liu Guangqi for a long time, and now they call him by his name, saying that they do not share the good times with him and that they must be punished when they are in trouble.

Seeing that Li Kailang remained silent, he also understood that it was not appropriate to talk about the Liu family's affairs.

"Brother Li, do you think we can split up like Liu Guangqi did? I've been thinking about it these past two days. We don't want to stay in the Liu family anymore. What do you think?"

The two looked at Li Kailang expectantly, hoping that he could give an answer.

Looking at their eyes, whether Li Kailang agrees or not, the two will do it in the future.

This idea may have started to emerge after Liu Guangqi left, or perhaps it started to emerge when he had the ability to make money. No matter what he said, it would not affect the decision of the two.

Li Kailang nodded: "Just bear with it for now, you two are still young and still studying, and you don't have the ability to be self-reliant yet."

"When you grow up, can make money, save enough money, and have enough experience, you can decide what you want to do. You don't need to ask anyone, including me."

When the two heard this, their faces suddenly lit up. They didn't expect that Li Kailang would agree with their decision. They thought Li Kailang disagreed and were very nervous.

Li Kailang encouraged them instead, which made the two of them feel more confident.

"Thank you, Brother Li."

"Why thank me? I didn't do anything." Li Kailang waved his hand. "On the contrary, if you two want to make money, you have to wait a few more years."

"You two will probably have a hard time these few years, so be prepared."

After hearing this, the two men realized that they would definitely be beaten in the future. They were beaten a lot when Liu Guangqi was around, and now that he was gone, being beaten would become commonplace.

"It's all Liu Guangqi's fault!" Hatred flashed in the eyes of the two men, "And Liu Haizhong! He's the same!"

They were also full of resentment towards Liu Haizhong. Liu Guangqi, the instigator of the incident, didn't beat him, but instead beat the two of them. What did they do wrong?

Li Kailang added: "We are all from the same courtyard. If you are bullied in the future, I will help you if I can."

"Thank you, Brother Li, you are so much better than Liu Guangqi!" The two were so moved that they shed tears again.

An outsider helped them so much, but their family members bullied them so harshly that the two of them once suspected that they were Liu Haizhong's sons.

"Okay, what's there to thank you for? Just take good care of your injuries. I don't know when I can come to see you again. The factory is really too busy."

Liu Guangtian hurriedly thanked him, "It's enough for Brother Li to come and see us once."

"Okay, you two take good care of yourself and remember to finish all the candy." After patting their heads, Li Kailang turned and left. The two wanted to see him off despite the pain, but Li Kailang pushed them back.

Li Kailang also sympathizes with the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

Let’s not talk about the future of these two people’s character, let’s just talk about the present.

Now the two brothers have good personalities. They are just ordinary boys who are optimistic, enthusiastic and lively. They don’t have any major shortcomings, nor do they have any outstanding advantages.

Neither of them had experienced years of brutal beatings, and their characters had not yet darkened.

As for Liu Haizhong, Li Kailang didn't know what to say to him. He really didn't know what he was thinking.

"It's obviously his first time being a father, but didn't he start from being a child? Doesn't he know what a child wants and what he fears?"

"As expected, when people grow up, they cannot be as attached to their childhood selves."

What Li Kailang didn't know was.

Liu Haizhong, a person who loves power so much, discovered the unquestionable authority by beating children.

Watching the child being beaten by him and the screams coming out, but unable to resist, Liu Haizhong was completely fascinated by it. How could he possibly give up beating the child?

After leaving the hospital and walking on the way to the steel mill, Li Kailang saw a lot of strangers on the street.

He was a person with ragged clothes and a hungry face.

Li Kailang didn't care much and returned to the steel mill.

After Li Kailang got his meal, he sat down to eat with Zhang Fen and Yu Xuewei.

But I found that although the two were sitting together, they both had unhappy expressions and didn't even look at each other, as if they were strangers.

"What happened to you two? Are you having a conflict?"

"Hmph!" Yu Xuewei rolled her eyes at Zhang Fen.

Zhang Fen was unconvinced and explained: "What else can I do? She used a lot of chili peppers when cooking. Xiao Li, you know me. I can't eat anything too spicy."

"But you said she cooked such spicy food, how could I eat it? She didn't show any consideration for me at all."

"I'm considerate of you? Okay, Zhang Fen, you've turned your back on me. When you married me, you promised to eat spicy food with me, but now you're regretting it."

"You didn't say you eat spicy food. If you cook it so spicy, is that for eating? That's going to kill me."

Watching the two people arguing, Li Kailang couldn't help but hold his forehead.

It was the first time that Li Kailang knew that Yu Xuewei could eat such spicy food. He didn't know she loved it so much before and wondered if she was pretending.

In fact, Yu Xuewei is not pretending at all. The food cooked in the cafeteria is generally not that spicy. It is all acceptable to everyone.

Yu Xuewei only eats spicy food at home, and she also told Zhang Fen in advance that she can eat spicy food.

But no one has a clear understanding of how spicy food a girl can eat.

When they first met, they ate at the steel mill. After they got married, they ate at their in-laws' house. Everything was done according to their in-laws' tastes. She had just married in and was too embarrassed to say anything.

She had been enduring it. Finally, she had a new home and her parents were back home. She could finally cook for herself. Yu Xuewei finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Just these past few days, Yu Xuewei’s cooking was always very spicy, making it impossible for Zhang Fen to eat.

He was not full, but full from diarrhea. He ate a mouthful and drank two glasses of water. After four glasses of water, he was still able to eat.

Seeing the two people arguing in front of him, Li Kailang was helpless: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. Come to my house after work and I will solve it for you."

"Can you solve it?" Yu Xuewei was dissatisfied with Zhang Fen, and indirectly also with Li Kailang.

"It's not that difficult. One of us can eat very spicy food, and the other can eat mildly spicy food. It's not a big deal. Just come to my house after get off work."

"Hurry up and eat. We still have a lot of things to do in the afternoon."

Time flies and it's time to get off work.

There were many more skinny and pale people on the street, all of them emitting strange smells, and passers-by avoided them when they saw them.

Li Kailang took Zhang's father and Yu Xuewei straight to his home.

When I get home from get off work, of course I have to cook.

"Do you two have any food taboos?" Li Kailang mainly looked at Yu Xuewei.

Yu Xuewei shook her head: "No, but I want spicy food, very spicy."

Zhang Fen hurriedly said, "No, you think this is your own home. How can you let Xiao Li eat such spicy food?"

Yu Xuewei then realized that this was not her home, and said, "Xiao Li, just cook according to your own taste, don't worry about me."

"Okay, you two wait."

Li Kailang quickly made three dishes, including a plate of extra spicy shredded potatoes with a lot of chili peppers.

The spicy smell of the peppers made Li Kailang and Zhang Fen cough repeatedly. On the contrary, Yu Xuewei smelled the flavor, took a long breath, and was very intoxicated.

She raised her head slightly, looking very proud and smug, and glanced at Zhang Fen.

A plate of slightly spicy braised eggplant and a plate of non-spicy stir-fried cabbage.

Three dishes were brought out, along with a jar of extra hot sauce and a bowl of water.

The two looked at the hot sauce and water in confusion, wondering what Li Kailang was trying to do.

Li Kailang looked at the two people standing there stupidly: "What are you still standing there for? Let's eat."

The two were puzzled again. Aren't they supposed to mediate between the two? What was going on?

Li Kailang didn't care what the two people thought. He picked up a handful of spicy potato shreds with chopsticks, put it into clean water, and let it sit for a while to remove the spicy sauce on the potato shreds.

Then he put it in the bowl and ate it in one bite.

Then, pick up the cabbage, open the hot sauce, scoop out a large spoonful of hot sauce, and eat it with the cabbage.

"Cough cough!!!"

Li Kailang was choked by the hot sauce and almost spit out his rice, but he still endured the spiciness and ate it.

No wonder Zhang Fen has to drink two glasses of water for every bite he eats. He can’t stand it.

After reluctantly finishing the spicy cabbage, Li Kailang put down his chopsticks and looked at the two of them.

"Do you understand?"

When asked by Li Kailang, the two nodded.

"Do you really understand?"

"I really understand."

"If you understand, then eat."

The two of them were in no hurry to pick up their chopsticks. Yu Xuewei looked at Zhang Fen and said, "I'm sorry, Zhang Fen. I won't make it so spicy next time."

Zhang Fen said, "No, I don't blame you. This is my problem. I'll eat according to your taste. I can just give you a bowl of water. Just enjoy your meal."

The two opened their hearts and told each other about their faults.

"husband!"

"daughter in law!"

"mua~"

"Hey, hey, just eat, don't show affection in front of me."

Li Kailang hurriedly tried to stop them. They actually dared to be affectionate in front of him, a single guy. They really didn't take him seriously.

The two of them smiled awkwardly, quickly picked up their chopsticks to eat, and picked up each other's favorite dishes.

Li Kailang has done so much. In fact, he could just give some advice to the two of them. There is no need to go through so much trouble.

But sometimes what you say is not as effective as what you do.

"You two are husband and wife now. A harmonious relationship between husband and wife means constantly tolerating each other. You are so old, but you don't understand this principle."

"When you have time, go and ask your parents for advice. They must have experience, which is much better than you sulking here."

"Yes, yes, what Xiao Li said is right." The two responded casually. They didn't care about Li Kailang. They looked at each other with love in their eyes.

Li Kailang became a light bulb, hindering their love.

"Snapped!"

"You two eat."

Li Kailang couldn't stand this and was so angry that he couldn't eat.

As soon as he left, the two of them became even more affectionate. If this wasn't their home, they would have done it long ago.

"Damn it!!!"
