Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 65 People watching football
"Wow, a goal."

When Kang Qirui got home from work that day, he heard his second brother A Yao and A Zu celebrating a goal. Kang Qirui glanced at the TV and saw a replay of the match between Manchester United and Manchester City last night. He shook his head and said, "It's just a replay. Why are you so excited?"

"What's wrong with replay? We didn't watch the news, and we don't know the results. What's the difference between it and live broadcast?" A Yao said excitedly. In that era, information was not well developed, and the latest news was mainly spread through TV stations and newspapers. As long as you don't watch these two and don't know the final results and the direction of the game, it is really no different from watching a live broadcast.

"That's right. It's a shame not to watch this game. I have to watch the live broadcast next time." Er Lao sighed.

Kang Qirui sat down on the sofa, changed his slippers, and said, "Manchester United won the championship last week, and Manchester City was relegated. The game between the two is just a formality, boring." Although Manchester City has a long history, it has been quite weak in recent years. The year before last, it was relegated to Group B. It was promoted twice in the past two years to return to the Premier League, but it was relegated before the end of the season. Manchester United won the championship five rounds ahead of schedule last week. Kang Qirui really couldn't understand why they were so excited about such a game.

"Is it halftime?" The big boss came in carrying a few lunch boxes.

"It's a goal, big man, it's a goal, Manchester United has scored." A Zu said excitedly. Except for Kang Qirui, who is a Real Madrid fan, the other four of the Kang family brothers are all Manchester United fans.

But there are ordinary fans and veteran fans. Da Lao Guang is just an ordinary one. "It's just a goal, not a goal by our men's football team. Look how excited you are. Wait until the men's football team qualifies before cheering." Tonight is the day when the top 40 of the World Cup Asian qualifiers kick off, and Da Lao Guang is naturally full of expectations for the men's football team.

"Boss, I think we have a good chance this time. We will definitely make it to the World Cup next year." Kang Qirui said with a smile. He was thinking of making a fortune in the World Cup next year. If I remember correctly, football lottery can be bought in October this year. When he buys football lottery, his income source will be clear, transparent and legal.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's eat during the intermission." The second brother and his friends were about to take their lunch boxes and eat, but the eldest brother Guang stopped them and said, "Wait, I'm going out to buy food for you, not to treat you. Give me the money, one portion per person." The old lady Dou had gone back to the countryside, and the sisters-in-law had gone out shopping, so the brothers could only eat lunch boxes.

When the second brother heard this, he took out the money very consciously, but he realized something was wrong when he was taking out the money. He turned around and saw his three brothers looking at him, and he couldn't help but said, "Why are you looking at me? I am rich, what's so great about it?" The second brother saw from everyone's eyes that he wanted to treat them, so he quickly refused.

"Should the boss go first?" A-Zu asked pitifully.

"The boss is here." The second boss pointed at the boss Guang. The boss Guang nodded, yes, he is the boss.

"Hey, boss, you've done your best." A Yao said.

A-Zu also asked back: "That's right, the big brother has already contributed his efforts, does that mean he has to contribute both effort and money?" The implication of his words was that the big brother would contribute effort and the second brother would contribute money.

"Then what are you three doing?" the second brother asked.

Kang Qirui glanced at A Yao and A Zu and said with a smile, "We? Let's help."

"Contribute? Contribute for what?" The second elder frowned.

"Work hard and eat." Yao Zurui said in unison. Kang Qirui still liked this kind of atmosphere very much, playing around with the brothers.

The second brother rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "You guys are dreaming. Let's go AA. I'll pay for the boss's share." Kang Qirui and A Yao had no choice but to pay, only A Zu looked around.

"Wait a minute." When A-Zu saw the food in the lunch box, he thought of a solution and immediately stopped everyone. When everyone heard A-Zu's words, they quickly took the money back. "What's the matter?" Everyone looked at A-Zu.

"How about we play a game and not have to pay if we win?" A-Zu suggested.

Big Brother Guang quickly became alert. He paid for the meal. He asked, "Which game comes first?"

Grandpa pointed at the lunch box and said, "There are five things here. Let's make a metaphor. Whoever can make the most appropriate metaphor for these five things doesn't have to pay. How about that?"

The second brother pushed the big brother aside with a look of disdain, came to the lunch box and said, "It's simple. This pizza is equal to Kang Qiyao, steak is equal to Kang Qizon, hamburger is equal to Kang Xizu, udon noodles is equal to Kang Qirui, and as for this rice, it belongs to the big brother." The big brother was laughing happily, but the second brother suddenly laughed at him.

"You are the food." The big brother patted the second brother angrily.

"Second brother, you said you are a real football fanatic. Let me tell you, these five things should be compared to football." A Zu said, "This steak is the Premier League, pizza is Serie A, hamburgers are the Bundesliga, udon noodles are La Liga, and as for rice, I don't need to tell you, everyone knows it."

"Oh, the A-League." Everyone had a tacit understanding and immediately thought of which league the meal was about. "I really admire you, you poor guy. Forget it, I'll treat you to a meal." The second brother was also amused by A-Zu's words and directly announced that he would treat them.

Kang Qirui couldn't help but praise A Zu for his many clever ideas, "Fourth brother, you're great. You got another free meal."

"Hey, no need to thank me." A Zu said proudly. What he meant was that Kang Qirui also had this meal for free, and it was all his credit. Kang Qirui shook his head, quickly finished his udon noodles, and went back to his room to change clothes and take a shower.

When Kang Qirui came out of the shower to watch TV, there was no one in the living room. But everything was in a mess, and his father's vase and picture albums were all on the floor. Kang Qirui couldn't help but be a little shocked. What happened during the ten minutes he was showering? While he was thinking, he heard someone open the door, and then Zhu Wanling and the other four sisters-in-law walked in. He hurried to greet them: "My wife is back, what did you buy?"

Zhu Wanling did not answer Kang Qirui. They were all shocked by the situation and remained silent for a few seconds. The second sister-in-law said angrily, "You bad boys are rebelling while the master and grandma are away?"

"It's not us, it's them." Kang Qirui explained quickly. He didn't want to take the blame for his brothers.

"That means those guys did it." The second sister-in-law gritted her teeth and asked everyone to go to the dining room first. She knocked on the door one by one and called the brothers in. The big brother and the others had to go into the dining room with their heads down, waiting to be judged. Kang Qirui didn't want to get involved in this scene, so he winked at Zhu Wanling and said, "Wife, my mother just wanted to see you for something, let's go over there." Zhu Wanling understood and took Kang Qirui out.

Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling chatted and watched TV with Mrs. Zhu at the Zhu family until 8: in the evening before returning to Kang's house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the second sister-in-law Xingzi and Xianglan walking out. When they saw Zhu Wanling, their eyes lit up. Xingzi said, "Wanling, it's just right that you're back. Let's go get a beauty treatment."

"Ah? Going for a beauty treatment so late?" Zhu Wanling asked in surprise.

Sachiko said helplessly: "My client gave me some beauty coupons, and I just saw that today is the last day, so I have to go today." Kang Qirui thought it was not too late, so he asked Zhu Wanling to go with them, and Zhu Wanling followed them out. Kang Qirui walked with them to the street corner, took a taxi, and then walked back home.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw A-Zu holding a clothes hanger and leaning against the TV in a strange posture. After asking, I found out that my second sister-in-law and her family had taken away the antenna, so they had to make their own antenna. The TV was broadcasting the top 40 match. Within 20 minutes of the start, the men's football team was already leading the Maldives 2-0. When the men's football team was at its peak, Kang Qirui also became interested and sat down to watch it together.

In the 31st minute, the men's football team almost scored a goal with a long-range shot outside the penalty area. Kang Qirui exclaimed that it was a pity, and he was indeed at the peak. Although the ball did not go in, it was indeed very exciting. The men's football team was already leading 4-0 at halftime. However, the audience seemed very dissatisfied when watching the broadcast. In the 58th minute, the men's football team scored a goal after a wonderful two-pass and inverted triangle cooperation, and the score came to 7-0. The Kang brothers were very excited. When they were celebrating, the second sister-in-law and her family came back from beauty treatment.

"I heard your voices outside. You were watching football." The second sister-in-law said dissatisfiedly. "Where did you get this antenna?"

"This was given to me by a friend to try out the effect." A-Zu didn't dare to say that this was a clothes hanger.

But the second sister-in-law recognized it at a glance: "Oh, this is the master's clothes hanger, how dare you mess with it."

"Hey, have you completed the tasks assigned to you?" the second sister-in-law asked again.

Second Brother: "Tianxiu is doing his homework inside."

Boss: "I have also written the report."

A Yao: "The Ten Treasures Porridge is also cooking, cooking."

The result is obvious. The eldest sister-in-law's speech report was written by the eldest brother, and Xingzi's porridge was confused by A Yao. Tianxiu's application questions were messed up. Xingzi was so angry that she turned off the TV, and the second sister-in-law took away the antenna that A Zu made. Seeing that there was no TV to watch, Kang Qirui went back to the room with Zhu Wanling. He knew that the next step would be the criticism of the brothers by the sisters-in-law.

When Kang Qirui returned to the room, he couldn't help but hug Zhu Wanling, "I must have married a good wife who won't scold me." Zhu Wanling broke away from Kang Qirui's hand, turned around and said seriously, "Is it because I'm easy to bully?"

"No, I definitely didn't mean that." Kang Qirui didn't want to bear this accusation.

"Then why are you fooling around with your uncles?"

Kang Qirui spread his hands and said helplessly: "Can we be reasonable? Why are you making such a fuss just watching football?"

Zhu Wanling said angrily: "You can watch football, but the premise is that it does not interfere with your business. Look at what you are doing?" Speaking of this, Kang Qirui was powerless to refute. Although he was not aware of it, they did mess up their business.
