Chapter 102: Borrow money
Tian Qinghua didn’t see Tian Xinhua’s threatening glance and spoke carelessly: "It’s all because Fifth Brother is too shrewd, cleaning off the bones every single time. Of course, Da Huang doesn’t like him anymore. Unlike me, I always leave some meat on the bones. Da Huang really likes me; I’m Da Huang’s favorite person in the family."
"Ha ha! How can you be so cunning, Brother Xin Hua? You even hog the dog food and eat it all."
Tian Sisi laughed until her stomach hurt. She hadn’t realized Tian Xinhua was such a miser. No wonder every time she went to their Granduncle’s house, Da Huang’s expression towards Tian Xinhua seemed unfriendly. So it turned out to be because Tian Xinhua had eaten his meat—Da Huang was really becoming too clever.
Tian Qinghua was somewhat proud and completely unaware that his fifth brother had already planned to give him a good beating when they returned home. Seeing Tian Sisi laughing without stopping, Tian Xinhua scolded with a stern face:
"If we don’t finish eating the meat, should we waste it like Qinghua? Da Huang is a dog who should be glad to have bones to chew on; many other dogs don’t even have bones to gnaw."
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Xin Hua, you make sense." Tian Sisi managed to choke back her laughter, already seeing the flames of fury on Tian Xinhua’s forehead. If she didn’t give him a way out now, she feared he might have a meltdown then and there.
The others were also struggling to hold back their laughter. Tian Xinhua snorted arrogantly, too lazy to talk more with them. He needed to go discuss a matter with Grandfather. Tian Qiusheng (Tian Chunfang’s older brother) had lost those three hundred yuan and must be in a hurry. He might come to borrow money from their dad, and Tian Chunfang’s three brothers got along best with their dad. He needed to give his dad a heads up to prepare him mentally.
Tian Xinhua’s prediction was spot on. After dinner, Tian Qiusheng arrived; he came to see Tian Manmu directly. In fact, the Tian siblings all looked quite alike—dark, plump, and robust in build, and Tian Qiusheng was no exception.
