Chapter 89 – ‘Deep affections’ between siblings (2)

Xu Bilian was in a hurry to get divorced. So after only eating a few bites, she hurriedly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau. She stubbornly refused to let He Jihong go with her.

“There will be a time when she has to bear the hardships…”

He Jihong scolded, but when she saw Chu Qiao, she shut up. This black-hearted little bitch must be gloating right now. She couldn’t let this little bitch make fun of them. No matter what Bilian will become, it will be better than this little bitch. She couldn’t pair this little bitch with Gu Jianshe anymore. Then she would find another man, an old, ugly and grumpy widower. If her daughter was not doing well, then this little bitch should never have a good life in her life.

With this in her mind, He Jihong’s heart felt more comfortable. It was almost time to go to work. She grabbed two steamed buns and went to work. She also told Chu Peng to eat less fried dough sticks. “It contains a lot of junk, if you eat too much, your brain can become stupid.”1

1There is a saying that a person who often eats fried dough sticks will become stupid, and if he is at his age, he will be prone to dementia.

First, it’s because the food that is too greasy will degrade memory and accelerate the aging of human organs. Experts suggest that you should not eat fried dough sticks more than twice a week. At the same time, due to the high calorie and fat content of fried dough sticks, if you eat fried dough sticks for breakfast, you should try to be as light as possible for lunch and dinner on the same day.

Second, fried dough sticks are fried in continuous high-temperature oil and may contain more than a dozen non-volatile toxic substances. Long-term large-scale consumption can cause hepatitis, enteritis or cancer. The experts said that there are more than a dozen non-volatile toxic substances. [Daydaynews.cc]

“En.”

Chu Peng answered faintly, but he still stretched out his hand for another fried dough stick.

After He Jihong left, Chu Yuanzhi also went to work. He was in a bad mood these days, and his small treasury also suffered heavy losses. He had lived frugally to save the money for a year, and all of them returned back to the time before the liberation. Alas…

Chuqiao was full and hiccupped. Only then did she find that this rascal, her younger brother’s head was stiff at a strange angle, and his expression became more and more impatient. She suddenly realized and kindly asked, “Is your neck stiff?”

Chu Peng raised his eyelids, glared at her in a bad mood, and continued to gnaw the fried dough sticks.

“I will cure your stiff neck for six yuan.”

Chu Qiao’s eyes rolled, she really wanted to get the six yuan back. And now it was a godsend opportunity.

“Are you sure you can cure it?” Chu Peng expressed doubts.

He didn’t even believe in his own father, Chu Yuanzhi. He felt that his father’s expertise was too low, but at least he was a half-baked doctor of traditional Chinese medicine.

As for this stupid older sister, she had never studied traditional Chinese medicine, it would be strange if she really could cure it.

“I won’t charge you the money if I can’t cure it.” Chu Qiao made a guarantee to him.

It was true that she didn’t understand traditional Chinese medicine, but Gu Jianshe often suffered from a stiff neck in her previous life. She even had specially studied several methods to treat the stiff neck, such as cupping, massage, food therapy, etc. She had tried all of them, but the simplest and most effective way was another method.

Chu Peng hesitated. His neck was really uncomfortable. So it was okay to let this stupid older sister try it first.

“Then you can try to cure it first.”

“Okay.”

Chu Qiao readily agreed, but she didn’t take any action. Chu Peng waited for a long time, but he didn’t see that his stupid older sister took any action to cure him. He couldn’t help but become angry and asked, “Why are you still not treating it yet?”

“The time has not come!”

Chu Qiao acted mysteriously while saying that sentence, she picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and said, “You go wash the dishes.”

“It was me who washed it yesterday.” Chu Peng was not happy. He hated washing dishes.

“And it was me who washed all of the dishes for five whole years.”

As soon as Chu Qiao said that, Chu Peng became speechless. He went to the kitchen with a stiff neck and there was an unknown rage in his heart.

Now, he was very sure that this stupid older sister was playing tricks on him. Of all the things, his high IQ was actually played by this stupid older sister.

This was more uncomfortable than the stiff neck, he was so angry.

The angry Chu Peng gritted his teeth and immersed himself in washing the dishes. He didn’t notice that his stupid older sister appeared sneakily at the kitchen door with a stocking on her head, which she just bought at the department store yesterday.

The room was very quiet. There was only the sound of washing dishes. Chu Peng’s anger subsided a little, but then he noticed that it was a little weird. As if there was something behind him looking at him?

Chu Peng felt eerie, and when he slowly turned around, he saw an unknown creature with no face standing behind him, looking at him expressionlessly.

“Ahhh!”

Chu Peng was so frightened that he jumped three feet high. The plate in his hand fell to the ground and shattered all over the floor. Following with the sound of porcelain cracking, there was actually a crisp clicking sound, but the sound was too small to be covered by the cracking sound of porcelain.
