Hearing what Cao Hua said, the clumsy-tongued middle-aged man stuttered again and blushed. He couldn't say a word clearly for a long time, but looking at his movements and expressions, it was obvious that he was extremely disgusted with Cao Hua's criticism.
What exactly is it? The cause and effect is far more complicated than imagined.
This seaside pier is called Laoyue Town, which is very similar to Lingdu City. It is a town that exists for merchants who ship boats to and from the ferry.
But the prosperity here is much worse than Lingdu Town and other similar places.
First of all, there are not many waterways intersecting here, and it is not a necessary place. Only in hot summers when another waterway becomes impassable due to high tides, will there be more frequent traffic here.
What is not connected to the smooth waterway is that this town is almost the closest town to the six or seven surrounding villages. Many people who rely on labor to make a living have to go to this town to develop slightly, so this town is not a good geographical condition.
and very poor personnel turnover, resulting in its overall backwardness
Chu Xiaozhuang and Chu Dazhuang were two brothers who could not live in their own village and had to work hard in Laoyue Town to make a living.
About twenty years ago, when Chu Dazhuang was in his early twenties and Chu Xiaozhuang was seventeen years old, they were forced to survive and came to Laoyue Town.
Chu Dazhuang is in good health, with strong limbs and a strong back. He can do some very hard work. He is cheerful and likes to talk and laugh with people around him. He has a likable personality.
Chu Xiaozhuang, on the other hand, has been frail and sick since he was a child. He almost grew up in a medicine jar. Due to his poor family background, Chu Xiaozhuang could not find a good doctor to treat some of his illnesses that were not serious at first and could not afford good medicines.
He took it, so he gradually stopped getting sick until he was thirteen or fourteen years old. However, the root cause of the disease at this young age made him worse than ordinary people. And because he had less contact with people around him, he became taciturn, unclear in speech, and even a little
stammer
The two brothers came out to find jobs to make a living. Rather than the two of them working together, it was better to say that Chu Dazhuang was working while taking care of Chu Xiaozhuang.
From dock workers to shop boys, the two brothers have always worked at the lowest level, which is extremely hard. However, Chu Dazhuang relied on his physical strength to not only do two or three jobs per person, but also because of his ability to speak.
He is eloquent and is liked by the bosses who hire him, and he will be treated much better than ordinary workers.
But on the contrary, Chu Xiaozhuang received completely different treatment
In fact, Chu Xiaozhuang just looks physically weaker. Although his strength is slightly lower, he works hard and is not vague, and he is never lazy. However, because he is too speechless, he gives people a look that is annoying at first glance.
Feeling, so it’s no wonder that no one likes him. The difference between Master Chu Dazhuang and Master Chu Dazhuang is that Chu Xiaozhuang’s expression makes people want to bully him at the first sight.
But no matter what outsiders think of the two brothers, the relationship between Chu Dazhuang and Chu Xiaozhuang is extremely good.
When Chu Xiaozhuang was bullied, Chu Dazhuang would always appear as the peacemaker and help Chu Xiaozhuang with some matters.
Although Chu Xiaozhuang often helps his elder brother, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the elder brother who is helping his younger brother, and the younger brother is just a weakling.
After three or four years of hard work, the two brothers finally got through
One day while working at the dock, suddenly the dock was hijacked by a wave of more than ten robbers at night. Fortunately, Chu Dazhuang and Chu Xiaozhuang joined forces. Chu Xiaozhuang secretly set fire to the robbers' boat to prevent them from escaping, while Chu Dazhuang
Sneak away to report the news
With the cooperation of the two brothers, the bandits were subdued by the people who came before they could escape after grabbing the things.
The owner of this batch of goods, the richest man in the city, Mr. Li, took a fancy to Chu Dazhuang's bravery and decisiveness, so he wanted to recruit him.
Chu Dazhuang also immediately recommended his younger brother, and lied that his younger brother came up with this plan. In fact, it was Chu Dazhuang's attention from beginning to end.
After some minor twists and turns, Chu Dazhuang and Chu Xiaozhuang stayed at the Li family to work on things.
The brother and the younger brother plan to work hard for a few more years, and when they save enough money, they will do some small business to support the family and become their own shopkeepers without having to work hard.
Chu Xiaozhuang was nostalgic and wanted to stay in Laoyue Town forever, but Chu Dazhuang was a bit ambitious. He could see that this town would never improve, so he wanted to develop the two brothers in the long run.
Finally we have an opinion that cannot be unified
As everything went smoothly, Chu Dazhuang's ambition to show off his ambitions became stronger and stronger. However, Chu Xiaozhuang remained the same as before, occasionally getting beaten up, occasionally sending messages and other things, and being punished by his master for doing something wrong.
Day after day, several years passed
Chu Xiaozhuang's status gradually declined, and in the end he could only be a laborer looking after homes and nursing homes.
But Chu Dazhuang is different. He has been promoted to the steward of the Li family.
Although he is just a housekeeper, in this place where nothing matters, as the housekeeper of the richest man in the town, his power cannot be underestimated. At least a large part of the people in the whole town do not dare to mess with Chu Dazhuang.
Chu Dazhuang's style of doing things is very clear. He is very friendly to those he is close to, but he is very ruthless to those he wants to deal with, so he also called in many enemies.
Although these people hold grudges against Chu Dazhuang, they all have less power than their rivals, so they can only focus on Chu Xiaozhuang for revenge.
And every time something happens to Chu Xiaozhuang, Chu Dazhuang can only be the one to deal with it.
Chu Xiaozhuang resented that his elder brother had brought many enemies to him and made him suffer a lot for no reason.
And Chu Dazhuang gradually got tired of this cowardly and incompetent brother who couldn't do anything big and was bullied all the time and caused trouble for him.
The two brothers also often quarreled, but after all, blood is thicker than water. After the two quarreled, they often reconciled within a few days.
After a long time, although the two brothers were somewhat estranged from each other, it was not a big problem after all.
But until one day, the appearance of a person made the conflict between the two irreconcilable again.
This person, named Manman, is a little girl who was newly bought home by the Li family. She has a pretty face, red lips and white teeth, and is very attractive.
From the moment Manman appeared, Chu Xiaozhuang fell in love with her at first sight and couldn't help himself.
After getting along for a while, Chu Xiaozhuang also tried to express his love, but Manman politely refused. Although she rejected Chu Xiaozhuang's love, Manman still got close to Chu Xiaozhuang and was with him.
Like a close friend
Chu Xiaozhuang was extremely disappointed. Although his family was by his side, he knew that she would never be his woman, so he could not sleep well or eat, and fell ill within a few days.
