Chapter 27: Don't be noisy
"Xu Ergou, shut up."
Even though Chen Xiaoba is still a child, he still wants to save face.
It's embarrassing enough that he can't beat the girl, but there are many of them but he can't beat the few. How can he have the nerve to go out and talk about this? How can he, Chen Xiaoba, still be such a fool in the two alleys of Yutou and Yutiao?
As soon as Gulu got up and imitated Lu Xiangge, Chen Xiaoba kicked Chen Ergou: "Let's go. You can't even beat a female doll. Isn't it a shame?"
"I……"
Chen Ergou is so wronged that he can't beat him? It's obvious that everyone can't beat him together, okay?
"Okay."
Seeing that he had perfectly deflected the blame, Chen Xiaoba did not give Chen Ergou any explanation. He glared at Chen Ergou hard and swallowed back his words. Only then did he give Lu Shengge a fist in his arms.
, "This time it's me, Chen Xiaoba, who is at fault. If you come to Yutou Lane or Yuwei Lane to sell things in the future, and if anyone bullies you, you will give me Chen Xiaoba's name."
If Chen Xiaoba wasn't wearing coarse clothes and tied with horns, his posture would still look a bit like a young hero.
pity……
Lu Xiuge suppressed his inner complaints and imitated Chen Xiaoba's clasping fists: "Then it's settled. If I come here to sell things in the future, I'll ask you guys for help. If my sisters and the others..."
Chen Xiaoba immediately responded: "We are brothers, and your sister will be my sister from now on."
The three Lu sisters all frowned. They didn't want a brother like this.
Lu Shege still liked Chen Xiaoba who was so righteous.
However, as much as she likes him, there is one thing she still wants to ask clearly. Lu Sheige nodded politely at Chen Xiaoba: "You guys go first. I have something to ask him if you can keep him here."
Chen Ergou never expected that he would be left behind. He could only watch his former brothers run away in a hurry.
What about the promised brotherhood?
Chen Xiaoba did not run far, but stood at the entrance of the alley.
The distance was not too far, not too close, so I couldn't hear them talking, but I could still see Chen Ergou.
Lu Sheige asked Chen Ergou: "You said you wanted to smash my boat?"
Chen Ergou was so frightened that his legs trembled: "I, I'm talking nonsense."
Lu Sheige said with a cold face: "How do you know my family has a boat?"
Chen Ergou: "Last time I went to Ye Pier to play with Li Canggan and the others, and I saw your sister making porridge on the boat."
That time, he got into a fight with some kids from Ye Pier and chased them until they reached Ye Pier.
There is also a chain of contempt among the poor.
In Chen Ergou's eyes, Ye Pier is a poor and dirty place.
He never expected to see someone cooking rice porridge at the dock.
The overbearing aroma of white rice porridge wafted over Ye Pier, making him wonder where his confidence in facing the children at Ye Pier came from.
Why can people with small broken boats eat white rice porridge, but their boats are bigger and their houses are sturdier, so if they want to eat white rice porridge, they have to wait until the Chinese New Year?
This is something Chen Ergou has never been able to understand, and it is also the reason why he is deeply impressed by the Lu family siblings.
Until she was separated from Chen Xiaoba and a group of naughty children, Lu Xiaoli still had not recovered from it.
"They just left like that?"
If you lose, shouldn't you cry and ask your parents, brothers and sisters to help you get revenge?
Why just forget it?
Don't think about things you don't understand. Lu Xiaoli has another thing to ask Xiaosi.
"Why are you apologizing to them? It was obviously them who bumped into someone."
She was a little worried about what Chen Ergou and others said about Lu Xiaosi being a coward.
Lu Xiangge thought for a moment and then realized that Lu Xiaoli was asking about her apology to Chen Ergou before the fight.
"I know they bumped into someone, but I didn't want to fight with them, so I apologized."
Although, there was still a fight later.
"If you don't want to fight, just apologize. No wonder they say you are a coward."
Lu Xiaoli didn't think anything of it at first, but when she found out that Xiao Si could fight, she felt even more confused. Why did Xiao Si still apologize if he knew how to fight?
She is the kind of person who will go up and fight others even though she knows she can't beat them.
Lu Sheige raised his head and squinted his eyes slightly against the sunshine: "A fight that can be fought is called fighting, and a fight that cannot be fought is called torture. Only fools will be sent to be beaten."
Lu Xiaoli ignored Lu Xiaoqing's pull and shouted angrily: "But you can obviously beat me."
"But I didn't know that before the fight." Lu Sheige said and helplessly spread his hands.
Her indifferent attitude made the originally aggressive Lu Xiaoli speechless. Losing his temper with such a person was like punching cotton wool, making him not only powerless, but also very depressed.
"Okay."
Lu Xiaoqing finally couldn't help it, and pulled Lu Xiaoli hard and said, "Don't make any noise."
"That's right, what's the fuss about?"
Even Lu Xiaoyu also sided with Lu Xiange, "There are only four of us, there are eight of them, and they are all boys. If we still fight when we know we can't beat them, what else is it to be stupid?"
"Okay, I'm stupid, but you are smart. You can apologize even though you can beat me. No wonder others call you a coward."
Lu Xiaoli angrily ran ahead carrying the basket. Even if she won this time, she was not very happy.
Lu Xiaoqing: "Little carp."
Lu Xiaoyu: "Second sister."
The two people's voices were high-pitched and urgent, which finally made Lu Xiaoli, who was already running in front, pause for a moment.
She didn't want to say this to Xiaosi, but she was just angry. How could Xiaosi be so cowardly? He didn't look like a man at all.
The parents also said that the eldest brother and the youngest brother would be the three sisters’ backers from now on.
What is the use of such a backer?
Lu Xiaoli wiped her eyes hard, but she didn't cry. She just felt that the wind was a bit strong, and the blowing made her eyes a bit sore.
"It was my fault."
Lu Sheige, who was behind him, spoke slowly after both Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaoyu spoke, "I am the only boy. If I can't guarantee the safety of my sisters, then I would rather be a coward."
Her voice was not loud, but it immediately silenced Xiaoqing Xiaoyu, who was about to lecture Lu Xiaoli.
Even Lu Xiaoli, who was walking aggressively at the front, stopped. She stood up straight and raised her face slightly toward the sun.
The sun shone on her cheeks, and crystal tears fell in clusters.
She actually didn't want to cry, but Xiaosi's words made her suddenly very sad for some reason.
Before Xiao Wu was born and before Xiao Si came back.
Because there was no boy in the family, the three sisters had been teased so many times that even the mother would secretly hide aside and cry silently.
If there is no boy in the family, he is looked down upon.
It's what others say about being extremely wealthy.
She has never thought that male children are of any use. If a boy can punt a boat, she can do it. If a boy can fish, she can also do it.
Apart from not being able to pee standing up like boys, she felt that there was nothing inferior to those naughty boys who only knew how to pee, mud and fart.
But at this moment, Lu Xiaoli was a little confused.
Xiaosi, would rather be called a coward than fight, is it because he wants to protect them?
Right!
