Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 182 The Skinny Second Brother

"Boss, are you okay? People with eight-pack abs just say they admire them, but why are you admiring this piece of fat pork of yours?" Kang Qirui felt that the boss was acting weird today. He had work to do but he was admiring his belly in broad daylight?

"What? Are you jealous?" The big guy patted his belly, "Pa pa pa", "Do you have it? Are you so fair? I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'm going back to work in the tea restaurant." He walked out of the Kang family with a proud look on his face.

Kang Qirui shook his head and went out to work.

In the next few days, Kang Qirui found that the eldest and second brothers had become very diligent in bathing. They bathed once before going out in the morning, once when they came back at night, and once before going to bed. It was December now. Although December in Guangzhou was not very cold, it was still winter. Bathing three times a day was too much, wasn't it?

Kang Qirui asked them separately, and the second brother honestly said that his second sister-in-law bought him a lot of whitening soaps, so he wanted to make himself whiter in the winter, otherwise he would really become black when the sun shines in the summer. But the eldest brother hesitated, saying that he was tired and sweaty.
That night, everyone was watching TV in the living room.

"Wow, this Huang Lu doctor is so bad. Guodong is in trouble this time. His foot may not be saved." Zhu Wanling has been a nurse for ten years. She hates the bad doctors on TV very much and said this angrily.

The drama they were watching was TVB's "Negotiation Expert". The protagonist Kwok Tung fell from a building accidentally and broke his thigh. He could not accept spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair, so he believed in the so-called miracle doctor and received herbal acupuncture, which caused the wound to be infected with bacteria. He was sent to the hospital and needed surgery as soon as possible, and he might have to have his thigh amputated.

Not only Zhu Wanling, but everyone else also became very nervous and worried when they saw this scene.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? What are you worried about? Guodong is the protagonist, how could he not be cured?" Kang Qirui shook his head, thinking that everyone was too engrossed in the drama.

The second sister-in-law disagreed. She said, "Yang Guang is also the protagonist. It's normal for one of the two protagonists to lose a leg or die directly. After all, there is still one protagonist."

"Uh" I can only say that the second sister-in-law has her reasons, and Kang Qirui can't refute her. When he was thinking about how to respond to the second sister-in-law's words, the eldest brother came to the living room and walked back and forth in front of the TV.

"Boss, stop walking around. You're blocking us from watching TV. Find a seat and sit down." Kang Qirui said unhappily.

"Don't you think I'm different today?" Big Brother Guang stopped and asked.

What's different? Kang Qirui looked at the boss from head to toe. He was wearing an ordinary middle-aged shirt, ordinary trousers, and a pair of slippers. There was nothing different from usual. If he had to say something, it would be that the size of the trousers was obviously wrong.

He shook his head and said he didn't know, but Tianxiu said bluntly (with low EQ): "Uncle, aren't you afraid of being laughed at for wearing this?"

The boss was stunned. He felt that he had lost a lot of weight in the past few days. How could he be laughed at? He asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

"This pair of pants obviously doesn't suit you. You're not even wearing a belt." Tian Xiu laughed. Kang Qirui beside him couldn't help laughing too.

Da Lao Guang said angrily: "You two don't know what your eyes are. A-Zu, you are the most discerning." Da Lao Guang stared at A-Zu who had not spoken the whole time, and sat between A-Zu and Tian Xiu, and asked: "Do you see any difference?"

"What's the difference?" A-Zu said with a smile, "It's indeed different. I feel that the sofa has obviously dropped, and it has pushed me to the side."

At A-Zu's words, the boss's expression changed several times, "I'm just telling you I'm angry."

"Hahaha, just kidding. Actually, you look quite handsome in trousers." Ah Zu's words made Da Lao Guang laugh again, but he soon stopped laughing. Ah Zu continued, "But no matter how handsome you are, you have to go back to your room."

"Why should I go back to my room?" Big Brother Guang looked confused.

A-Zu smiled and picked up a button from the ground and handed it to Da Lao Guang, "Da Lao, please be so kind as not to embarrass yourself." It turned out that the button on Da Lao Guang's trousers was burst, and he ran back to the room embarrassedly with his trousers held up.

Hahahahahahahaha. Everyone suddenly forgot about the tragedy of the TV series and laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

After returning to his room, Da Laoguang put on his pajamas and took out a ruler to measure his waist. "Why is it still 38?" He frowned. "Hubby, you should lose weight as others say." Xianglan just opened the door and came in.

"I'm losing weight." The big guy sat down on the bed and said depressedly, "I'm telling you the truth, don't tell anyone else. Wait until you succeed in losing weight, otherwise people will laugh at you until your face turns yellow."

He took out the weight loss soap he secretly bought from the drawer and said, "I have been using the weight loss soap you mentioned last time. I have used three bars. Didn't you say that using this soap can help lose weight? Why haven't I lost any weight at all?"

"Haha, I was wondering why you always take a shower recently." Xianglan smiled first, then continued: "I did use this to lose weight, how do you use it? Did you read the instructions carefully?"

"Explain?" Big Brother Guang frowned. "Isn't this just taking a shower? How else do you need to explain it?"

"Look for yourself." Xianglan pointed to the instructions on the back of the box. "When you wash, wash the area you want to remove. Rub it vigorously for a few minutes until you feel it getting warm. It doesn't mean you can just take a shower like you normally would."

The big man nodded and thought for a moment, "Then I'll take another shower." He picked up the soap and walked towards the bathroom.

Kang Qirui watched half an episode of TV and wanted to go to the bathroom during the commercial break. But he saw Er Lao standing at the bathroom door waiting, "Er Lao, why are you standing here? There's someone inside, just go to another one." After the renovation of the Kang family's Xiguan mansion, there are three bathrooms, why wait?
"My soap is in here. The other two bathrooms have shower gel. After using it, my whole body feels slippery and it's not comfortable at all." The second brother had a look of disgust on his face.

As they were talking, someone came out of the bathroom. The second brother was stunned, "No, boss, didn't you take a shower at night? You took a shower twice in one night? Are you sick?"

"You are the one who has a problem." The big boss retorted, and then said to Kang Qirui: "You don't know, I rubbed my whole body today, and my whole body is warm." As he said that, he turned on the fan in the dining room.

"Wow wow wow wow." Er Lao was blown back by the fan. He used his hands to block the wind and said anxiously, "Why are you turning on the fan in such a cold day? Do you want to hurt people?"

Kang Qirui came out of the toilet and saw this scene and sighed: "Second brother, you are not a fool, are you? You are so light that a fan can blow you away. If there is a typhoon in the summer, you must not go out, otherwise you will be blown away and I won’t know where to find you."

"You're crazy." Er Lao rolled his eyes and went into the bathroom to take a shower. After taking a shower, he angrily called his second sister-in-law, who was watching TV, back to the room.

"Did you pick up the wrong pants? How could these pants be mine?" He walked back to the room holding the pants, and complained after closing the door.

The second sister-in-law didn't tolerate him either. She was watching TV peacefully when she was scolded and asked, "If it's not yours, then is it your father's?"

"The waistband is size 28. If it's not yours, whose is it?" The second sister-in-law turned over the size label on the second brother's pants.

"28?" Er Lao was stunned. He looked at the loose pants that could fit a fist. "Then how much should I wear now?"

"Have I lost a lot of weight recently?"

The second sister-in-law shook her head, saying that she naturally didn't feel anything after doing it day and night. The second brother asked him to bring the scale over, and the second brother stood on it. The scale showed his weight of "44.5".

A little-known fact: foot-operated electronic weight scales and foot-operated electronic fat measuring instruments were both invented in the 20s.

"Ah? Only 89 pounds?" The second sister-in-law was shocked. She stood on the scale to try it herself, and became even more worried when she found that the scale was not broken. She cried and advised the second brother to go to the hospital to see a doctor after getting up tomorrow. She felt that the second brother must have some disease as he had suddenly lost so much weight.

"Why see a doctor? You are so suspicious." Although Er Lao was also panicking, he didn't want to go to the hospital. He felt that if he went to the hospital, there was a 100% chance that something was wrong, but if he didn't go to the hospital, he would be % fine. Well, he was very Ah Q-like.

"Are you going or not? If you don't go, I will call grandpa and grandma and ask them to take you away." The second sister-in-law had no choice but to use her ultimate move. The second brother immediately backed down. He didn't want the two elders to worry about him when nothing was certain.
