Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 162: Vegetarianism?

"Xiaozi, what's wrong? You look so happy!"

After the cram school was over that day, everyone could feel Tianxiu's joy as soon as he came in. A Yao put down the newspaper and asked. A Yao was also very happy these two days, because Sachiko was found to be six weeks pregnant two days ago, and A Yao was now in a period of infinite love for the child.

"I got an excellent grade for my composition in the cram school." Tianxiu said proudly. Kang Qirui didn't understand what he was so happy about. The second brother and his wife were very nervous about Tianxiu. He had to go to cram school during the winter and summer vacations, and he was in school every month of the year. Even so, Tianxiu was still happy for getting an excellent grade for his composition. He definitely liked studying.

Kang Qirui had never understood how Tianxiu, with his terrible grades and lazy attitude, could get into college. Now he put himself in Tianxiu's shoes and experienced the devil's study experience without any rest. If he didn't go to college, who would?
The second sister-in-law was immediately excited, "I told you my son is good, he's just like me." While praising Tianxiu, she also didn't forget to brag about herself. The second brother said contemptuously, "What does it have to do with you? When your son was a bad kid a few days ago, you said he was like me. Now that he's good, he's just like you?"

The second sister-in-law ignored the second brother and gently asked Tianxiu, "Son, did you get an A for the essay "Animals Our Friends"? I watched you write that essay, and you tell me whether your father has anything to do with me."

Tianxiu nodded, "Yes, the teacher read it in front of all the students. After reading it, everyone praised me for being kind. They also said that it should be put on the exhibition of the brigade."

Seeing Tianxiu's proud look, everyone was happy for him from the bottom of their hearts and applauded. "Husband, why don't you go and chop some food to congratulate him." The second sister-in-law wanted to go by herself, but it was inconvenient for her to go because she was pregnant, so she asked the second brother to go.

"Buy some barbecued pork, roast goose, and white-cut chicken, which are his favorite foods." The old man also said happily, and A Yao even asked the second brother to buy two bottles of beer for the brothers to drink. Kang Qirui thought: If you don't know, you would think he has passed the imperial examination. But he said, "Second brother, buy some more fruits and have a big food party."

"Do we have to celebrate?" Tian Xiu stood up and asked everyone to be quiet when everyone was talking happily. Everyone nodded and said yes. Tian Xiu continued, "There's no need to chop the ingredients. I just want you to promise me one thing. From today on, we won't eat any meat."

Huh? This is even more exaggerated than dog lovers not allowing others to eat dog meat. They actually require the whole family to eat vegetarian food together?
Kang Qirui said with a smile: "Tianxiu, I know you like animals very much now, but you can't let us not eat meat, right? Just like grandpa just said to go out and buy roast goose and boiled chicken, if we don't eat them, can the goose or chicken be resurrected? It's just that it has entered someone else's stomach."

A Yao nodded and advised, "That's right, your uncle is right, those chickens and geese have been killed in the market and restaurants. We don't buy them and eat them, but a lot of people buy them and eat them. It's not like we don't eat them and they won't be killed."

Tianxiu saw that his proposal did not get everyone's support, so he ran back to his room crying. The second sister-in-law quickly chased after him to comfort her son, and the second brother looked at Kang Qirui and A Yao with difficulty. Kang Qirui knew what he was going to say, and he said first: "Second brother, you don't have to say it. Tianxiu's extreme thinking is also wrong. You really have to educate him well, otherwise I'm afraid something will happen."

The second brother didn't take it seriously. He thought that although his son was a little extreme, it was a good thing to love animals. What could go wrong? But reality slapped him hard in the face. Just two days later, Tianxiu caused him a big trouble.

That afternoon, when Kang Qirui was passing by the park on his way home from get off work, he saw the eldest brother Guang, the second brother, A Jiao and two employees of the store catching chickens. Kang Qirui was a little surprised: "Second brother, what are you doing?"

"Hey, A'rui, hurry up and help, we'll talk later." The second brother said anxiously when he saw Kang Qirui, not caring that Kang Qirui had specially worn a formal suit and leather shoes to attend a meeting at school today. Kang Qirui had no choice but to shake his head and join the ranks of catching chickens with a helpless look on his face. Several people caught chickens for about 20 minutes before they caught all the chickens and put them back in the chicken coop.

The eldest and the second carried one chicken coop, A Jiao and Kang Qirui carried one chicken coop, and the other two employees carried one chicken coop. On the way back to the tea restaurant, Kang Qirui asked, "Second brother, what's going on? So many chickens ran away?" "What do you mean they ran away? That bastard Tianxiu let them go." The eldest complained when he saw that the second brother didn't say anything.

"Ah?" Kang Qirui was surprised. Tian Xiu really dared to do it. He released all the chickens in the tea restaurant without fear of being beaten by his father.

Gillian said, "What's a chicken? If I hadn't discovered it earlier, he would have wanted to release the snake in the restaurant."

"That's right, letting the snakes go is nothing, we're just afraid that the snakes will run out and bite people, then it will be terrible." The eldest brother just followed Gillian's words. The second brother didn't say a word the whole time, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

As Kang Qirui was walking, he thought of a question: everyone was out catching chickens, if Tianxiu came back and made a surprise attack, who would stop him from releasing the snake?
As he was thinking this, he saw a snake in the distance, and then saw someone in the Ruhao Tea House uniform chasing him from behind. He stopped right where he was. The second and first brothers also saw it, and the second brother didn't even care about the chickens, he just let go of the chicken coop and ran over.

Kang Qirui was afraid that Er Lao would get into trouble due to his impulsiveness, so he also let go of the chicken coop and chased after him. When he ran to Ru Hao Tea Restaurant, he happened to see Er Lao trying to beat Tian Xiu. He hurried over to stop him: "Er Lao, beating him won't solve the problem. Tian Xiu needs to be taught reason at his age. The more you beat him, the more rebellious he will be."

"Ah Rui, don't stop me. You have to teach him to listen. Does he listen? He dares to do anything." Er Lao was very angry, but Tian Xiu was still adding fuel to the fire: "You are all so cruel. I let them go instead of letting you kill them. What's wrong with me loving animals?"

At this time, the eldest brother Guang also came back, and Kang Qirui asked him to come over and help stop the second brother from beating Tianxiu. He then pulled Tianxiu aside to reason with him.

"Xiaozi, there is nothing wrong in loving animals. But the premise of loving animals is to obey the laws of nature and not to harm others."

"Think about it, those snakes are so dangerous. If you just let them go, what if they bite someone? Are you protecting animals or letting them go and bite people?"

"Also, these chickens, ducks, and geese were all bought by the tea restaurant. You let them all go. The tea restaurant is losing money and going bankrupt. What will you do if your mom and dad have no money?"

"Xiaozi, let me teach you a lesson. If you are poor, you should take care of yourself. If you are rich, you should help the world. The premise of loving and protecting animals is to ensure our own rights and interests first. You don't allow your family to eat meat. Your mom is pregnant now. How can meat be nutritious without meat? Look at your dad. He is so thin. If he doesn't eat meat, he won't have the strength to walk."

Under the bombardment of Kang Qirui's great principles, Tianxiu finally compromised and gave up the idea of ​​letting his family not eat meat. He also apologized to the second brother and helped catch snakes and chickens.
