Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 184 The truth comes out
"Oh, Ah Chan, I suddenly remembered something and I want to say sorry to you. Do you know what happened in the sixth year of Tianxiu?"

The second brother suddenly jumped up at night and woke up the second sister-in-law who was sleeping, and said with a look of remorse. The second sister-in-law was very sleepy, and waved her hand and said: "Okay, okay, I get it. Go to sleep quickly, otherwise if you wake up Siyu, no one will be able to sleep."

"No, this matter is very important." The second brother insisted and continued: "What about that year?"

"Oh, you're so annoying." The second sister-in-law was not letting anyone sleep in the middle of the night, and her temper got worse: "You've told me many times, if it's not you who's annoying, then everyone else will be."

"You all find me annoying and refuse to forgive me." The second brother was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

Before he started crying, Siyu started crying first.

The second sister-in-law had no choice but to get up and pick up Siyu, coaxing her: "Oh, you were woken up by daddy, right? Don't cry, don't cry. Come, let daddy hold you. Whoever makes Siyu cry will comfort her." The second sister-in-law coaxed her for a while, but seeing that the second brother still had that aggrieved and depressed expression, she stuffed her daughter into his arms.

The second brother held his daughter for a while, but felt that he didn't have the strength to hold her anymore, so he quickly put her on the bed. Fortunately, Siyu still gave him some desire to survive. He said to himself: "No, I have to think of a way to make everyone accept me, otherwise you and your eldest brother will be miserable."

From that day on, the second brother bought a DVD of "ET the Extraterrestrial" and played it at home all day long. Except for A-Zu who went out early and came back late every day and Diana who went back to her parents' home, everyone else in the family had watched it more than three times.

"Second brother, are you still awake?" After three days of waiting, the second brother finally waited for A-Zu to come back at around 12 o'clock that night. As soon as A-Zu came in, he looked surprised. He greeted him and wanted to go back to his room.

The second brother called him, "Hey, hey, hey, come and watch a movie. You're the only one in the family who hasn't seen one."

Ah Zu thought it was a good movie, but when he sat on the sofa and watched it, he was speechless and said, "I saw this movie 10 years ago. What's so good about it?"

"No matter how good it is, it's not your opinion, Er Lao?" Besides A Zu, A Yao was the busiest. So Er Lao pressed him on the sofa and he had to finish watching it before he could go back to sleep. Now that someone complained, A Yao followed suit and complained, "I watch it like this every night. I've already watched it for the second time tonight. When A Zu comes back, you can watch it with him. I'm going back to sleep."

A Yao ran away after he finished speaking. This was a case of "I would rather die than let my friend die". When Er Lao was about to curse, Da Lao Guang came out of the room to go to the toilet. Er Lao ignored A Yao and pulled Da Lao Guang and said, "Come on, sit down and watch."

"Really? Still watching this movie?" The eldest brother's eyes were hazy, and he looked very sleepy. He said, "Luckily I have a son, otherwise if I watch this movie every day, I'm afraid I will give birth to an ET in the future. Don't hold me, I need to go to the bathroom." The eldest brother broke away from the second brother's hand and walked to the bathroom.

"What the hell is this to do with your son?" Er Lao complained, and then came back to hold A Zu, as if he was afraid that he would run away. "What do you think?"

"What do you mean?" A-Zu was puzzled.

The second brother pointed at the TV and said, "ET!"

"I think he is very cute, and the movie is well made." A-Zu hadn't watched a movie for a long time, and now he thought it was pretty good, so he gave a compliment.

Of course it is good. Released in the 80s, ET is one of the few science fiction films nominated for the Best Picture Award. It also won the Best Picture Award at the 40th Golden Globe Awards.

"Really? I feel the same way." Er Lao was happy when he heard it, "Why don't you help me promote the image of ET to my family? Wait, I'll go call the boss out." Er Lao was determined that he would slowly shrink into the likes of ET.

"What the hell, what happened to my second brother?" A Zu scratched his head, his brain was working like crazy, and he was about to explode, but he still couldn't figure it out. The next day, he took a day off, dragged Kang Qirui, who had no classes, and colluded with the big brother Guang Ayao to avoid the second brother's perspective and find the second sister-in-law to ask her what happened.

The second sister-in-law was very moved to see that everyone cared about the second brother. She choked up and said, "Alas, your second brother has been suspicious every day recently. He has been thinking that he has bone atrophy and that he will shrink to the size of a child in the future. In fact, I think his depression is getting worse."

Big Brother Guang: "No wonder, he has been competing with me to weigh himself every day after getting up recently!"

Ah Yao: "No wonder he kept saying sorry to everyone he met. It turns out he thought he had a terminal illness."

A-Zu: "What's even more outrageous is that he wants me to help him promote the ET image."

Kang Qirui clapped his hands and brought the topic back to the point. "We'll talk about these later. The most important thing now is what happened to Er Lao? Even if he is depressed, there must be a reason. With Er Lao's personality, how could he be depressed if nothing serious happened?"

Everyone nodded and looked at the second sister-in-law. If something serious happened, the second sister-in-law would definitely know. The second sister-in-law recalled carefully and shook her head and said, "Nothing happened. He just lost weight and went to the hospital for a checkup. Wait a minute, I'll get the checkup sheets for you to see."

The second sister-in-law came into the room and took out a large stack of medical checkup forms. She said, "Look, we've checked his entire body. The medical checkup alone cost several thousand. He only has depression."

"Could it be that there is some disease that the doctor has not diagnosed?" Big Brother Guang guessed.

"How is that possible? Look at these reports, they are all from different hospitals. If one hospital can't find the cause, then all hospitals can't find the cause either?" A Yao denied, "And even if he is sick, why would he be afraid? Science is so advanced nowadays. It must be that Er Lao is being paranoid and scaring himself."

"That's right, there must be a reason for everything. Sister-in-law, is there anything special about Second Brother recently?" A-Zu tried to transform into Sherlock Holmes.

The second sister-in-law shook her head and said, "Really not."

Ah Zu didn't think so. He said confidently, "In my opinion, he must have made a mistake. Let me follow him."

Kang Qirui nodded, "Then let's do it this way. Ah Si will follow the second brother, Ah San and the eldest brother will be responsible for watching the second brother at home and make sure he doesn't get upset and do something stupid, and the second sister-in-law will find more opportunities for the second brother to take care of Tianxiu Siyu more. The second brother still loves the two children very much. At least it's better than him sleeping in bed every day." Unknowingly, in the past two years, Kang Qirui, the youngest in the family, has gradually become the backbone of the five brothers of the Kang family. Usually, he rarely expresses his opinions, but once he decides on something, everyone will do it directly and never refute it. The current situation of the five brothers of the Kang family is that Kang Qizong takes care of small matters, and Kang Qirui takes care of big matters.

This is not only determined by identity and status, but more because Kang Qirui and Er Lao are both sincere and kind to their family. They are willing to help and get things done. So everyone trusts and respects him and is willing to do things according to his ideas.

A week later, before winter.

The second sister-in-law secretly found A Zu and asked, "You have been following A Zong for a week. Have you found anything?"

"No!" A Zu shook his head. He could only follow Er Lao after get off work and before work every day, and Er Lao was basically at home during this period, so he didn't find anything at all.

He thought for a moment and said, "But, it's so cold now and he actually takes a bath twice a day. He takes a bath before I go to work and once when he comes back from get off work."

"What kind of discovery is this?" Kang Qirui rolled his eyes. "I discovered it a long time ago. I told you that Er Lao doesn't wash twice a day, but four times. He washes once at noon and once before dinner."

"Ah?" A-Zu opened his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg, which meant that his discovery was completely useless.

Big Boss Guang didn't take it seriously. "That's right, taking a shower is nothing. I also take a shower three times a day. If I can't come back at noon, I will take a shower four times." He lifted his clothes to show his belly. "But I'm not bad, haha. I take a shower for half an hour every time and rub my body until it's swollen. I don't know why, no matter what I do, it doesn't work."

"What's useless?" A Yao asked.

"To lose weight, I bought this slimming soap specially for me. Xianglan, Achan and Wanling all used this slimming soap after giving birth. I saw that it worked very well for them. Does this slimming soap have male and female versions?" Big Brother Guang looked puzzled.

Kang Qirui grasped the key words, and a light bulb suddenly lit up his head, and he said, "Reduce soap? I remember that the second brother also only had soap and no shower gel. Could it be that he used the eldest brother's reduced soap?"

Upon hearing this, A-Zu immediately stood up and ran to the bathroom to take out two soap boxes, and asked, "Boss, which one are you using?"

"The one with the blue box and pink soap." said Big Brother Guang.

"Boss, do you have any new unpacked ones? If you do, take one out." Kang Qirui heard the noise coming from the second boss's room, so he said a few words to the boss and followed everyone to the second boss's room to see what happened.

When Er Lao saw everyone walking into the room, he cried and said, "Ah Chan, Tian Xiu's clothes finally fit me. Your husband has really become a dried man."

The second sister-in-law also cried, "This dress was what Tianxiu wore when he was in the first grade. Now it doesn't fit him anymore."

"First grade?" The second brother became even more desperate.

When the old lady heard the noise, she also ran over. Er Lao subconsciously hugged her and cried, "Mom, I am going to become a mummy."

"Alright, alright, stop crying. Er Lao, calm down, A Zu, A Zu." Kang Qirui calmed Er Lao and called A Zu over. A Zu squeezed through the crowd with two boxes of soap and came in, "Come here, Er Lao, check which one is yours?"

"Hey? What time is it now? Are you two still playing a quiz game with me?" The second brother said angrily.

Seeing that he was still in the mood to talk about other things, A Zu said anxiously: "It's not a quiz with prizes, but if you answer it correctly, your illness will be cured immediately."

Kang Qirui was also very anxious, "Second brother, please be serious, this is serious business. Which one is it?"

"The pink soap in the red box." The second brother replied.

"Boss, Boss," Kang Qirui shouted anxiously when he saw that Boss hadn't come back yet. Boss Guang then came over slowly with a new box of soap. Kang Qirui opened it and gave it to the second boss, "Take a look at this."

The second brother took it and smelled it, then nodded and said, "This is it, this is it, why is the big brother using the same one as me?"

Kang Qirui did not answer him, but asked his second sister-in-law to take out a brand new whitening soap that he had bought for the second brother before, and unpacked it and handed it to the eldest brother Guang. As soon as the eldest brother Guang asked, he recognized that this was the one he used every day.

"Now we have figured out what happened. The big boss used the second boss's whitening soap, and the second boss used the big boss's weight loss soap. So the big boss's belly is getting whiter and whiter, while the second boss is getting thinner and thinner." A-Zu, the Sherlock Holmes, concluded.

"But how do you explain that I can wear Tianxiu's clothes? The effect of slimming soap shouldn't be that strong, right?" Erlao didn't believe it immediately, but felt that everyone was lying to him.

Kang Qirui asked the second brother to stand up straight, and then said: "Look at this, does it fit you?"

The second brother was wearing Tianxiu's school uniform, but the long pants had become shorts, which could only be said to fit him, but certainly not to be considered a good fit. "Tianxiu is too fat, and you are too thin, so you can fit into it. But the length of this dress is obviously wrong, you are just suspicious, you used to be considered thin if you ate five meals a day, but recently you only eat one meal a day, you lose weight by not washing with soap, and you are also starving yourself." Kang Qirui said unhappily.

"You can't blame me for that." The second brother put down the heavy stone in his heart, his face immediately improved a lot, and he spoke more firmly: "I have a careful wife. What will they do if something happens to me? How can I not worry and be depressed?"
