Chapter 398

Shazhu was amused.

He raised his head.

He carefully sized up Er Da Ma.

She really is Liu Haizhong's wife.

They say she's stupid.

Yet she knows to come apologize in Liu Haizhong's place.

They say she's not stupid.

Yet she utters such laughable words.

The matter of death.

His upper lip touched his lower lip.

It passed over.

Who gave you the courage?

"Er Da Ma, if you only came to say these things, I think you can go back; we have matters at home, so I won't keep you."

Shazhu's order to leave.

It made Er Da Ma's complexion change.

Just thinking about Liu Guang's consequence.

He couldn't muster the slightest thought of leaving.

"Shazhu, I know you're angry; this matter, even if blown sky-high, is our Old Liu's fault. He only has an elementary education, yet he's stubborn in his ways. They say distant relatives aren't as good as close neighbors, and we're neighbors who see each other every day. No matter whether you accept it or not, I must apologize on behalf of our Old Liu."

"Er Da Ma, your family owes me; I dare not take it, nor do I want to. You said distant relatives aren't as good as close neighbors, and we see each other every day. How does your husband behave? How does he treat me, this neighbor? I just want to ask: when your husband schemed against me and against San Daye, did you ever advise him not to go so far?"

The conversation shifted.

A belly full of resentment.

Like an erupting volcano.

All of it burst out.

"Let me say something you might laugh at: your husband sometimes isn't even as good as the dog fed at our canteen. That dog, though barely fed, we see every day passing by; it remembers us, doesn't bite us, and even wags its tail at us. What does your husband do? He specializes in eating the grass beside the rabbit's burrow—I avoid him, yet he still won't let me go."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became.

The more she spoke, the more her heart burned.

Her emotions also became agitated.

"Let's not talk about the distant; let's talk about the near. I've been hiding at Sihuocangku as a warehouse keeper, yet you still want to clean me up. Today truly heaven opened its eyes—I once studied a Yagangchang safety production book there. If I weren't holding that book, or doing something else, my wife would likely be a widow, my son and daughter orphans. He got into trouble, you come knocking, babbling a few words of importance, and think that smooths things over? On what basis? How thick-skinned can you be? Do you really think the whole world revolves around your Liu family?"

Er Da Ma's heart.

It rose to her throat.

On the way here.

Worried that Shazhu would not let it go, thinking his attitude should be as good as possible, saying as many nice words as possible.

His attitude was sincere, and he said all the nice words he could.

Shazhu, however, still did not let go of Liu Haizhong's idea.

The expression on his face.

Increasingly bitter suffering.

She fixed her mind on Yu Li, a pair of pitiful eyes staring straight at Yu Li.

This is seeing Shazhu moved in his heart, wanting to take the lady's path.

On certain matters, the clear-minded Yu Li directly threw out the sentence 'Our family Shazhu has the final say', instantly extinguishing Er Da Ma's some unrealistic ideas.

"Shazhu, whether you forgive or not, Er Da Ma has come, not saying a word, your bicycle, Er Da Ma will compensate; whoever let Old Liu make a mistake, if he made a mistake he must accept the penalty."

Originally wanted to first take two hundred to test Shazhu.

With or without dates, still strike three poles.

If Shazhu agrees to settle with two hundred, we would save a hundred.

Now hearing the ill intent in Shazhu's words, and seeing his expression with a bit of anger, Er Da Ma dared not play petty, directly took out three hundred.

"Shazhu, a bicycle costs 180, if it's a bicycle ticket, about 120 can buy one; Old Liu requisitioned your bicycle, this 300, you take it, the bicycle matter we'll just leave it at that; as for other matters, we'll handle them slowly from now on."

The money was directly placed in front of Shazhu.

Afraid Shazhu would throw the money at her face, she hurriedly said a polite goodbye to Yu Li, and fled Shazhu's home.

Inside the house, Shazhu and Yan Fugui, separated by glass, could hear the rapid patter of Er Da Ma's feet on the ground.

"Shazhu, do you want San Daye to help you say a few nonsense words?"

Shazhu understood that meaning in Yan Fugui's words.

Not only still want to swindle Liu Haizhong out of another sum of money.

He laughed and shook his head.

Casually handed the money to Yu Li,

Spoke a few words of comfort to Yan Fugui.

"San Daye, Liu Haizhong's bitter days, but afterwards, you think it's just these neighbors in our Siheyuan who dislike him; let me tell you frankly, the Yagangchang has long been hard on Liu Haizhong, they all curse him behind his back as inhuman; previously, with the title of Elderly Assault Team Captain as cover, the workers dared not mess with Liu Haizhong; now that he's no longer captain, just a toilet cleaner, those people can get around him; if you don't believe me, guard the Siheyuan gate tomorrow afternoon and take a good look at Liu Haizhong and you'll see."

Yan Fugui finally had a smile on his face.

Nothing else to fear.

Just afraid that Liu Haizhong will have good days.

This also formed a great grudge between the two families.

He sighed in his heart.

He muttered, "What talent."

In just over sixty days in office, he threw the Siheyuan into a dark, miserable state, threw the Yagangchang into utter misery, and people all wished they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

It must be just as Shazhu said—Liu Haizhong won't have any good days.

What a pity.

Yan Fugui wasn't a worker at the Yagangchang, so he couldn't see Liu Haizhong's miserable scene firsthand like the factory workers could.

He raised his wine cup.

He downed the white liquor in the cup in one gulp.

"Shazhu, San Daye wants to ask you for a favor."

"San Daye, I know what you want to say—you want me to tell you Liu Haizhong's miserable scene like a storyteller tonight, right?"

"Exactly, exactly, that's exactly what I was thinking."

"You can say it, but not for nothing."

"I won't let you lose out—I've prepared food and drink for you, San Daye."

"I have a wife, I need to bring her along."

"Yu Li should come along too."

"San Daye, you're really generous today." Yu Li, who was tidying up inside, joked, "Don't regret it tomorrow."

"Yu Li, you can't—San Daye is being generous now."

"He's generous, but he didn't call me for drinks, and I had to come uninvited."

Xu Daming's voice.

Flying in from outside, just as Shazhu and Yan Fugui were startled.

The door was pushed open.

Xu Daming, covered in travel-worn dust, appeared before Shazhu and Yan Fugui.

Shazhu froze.

Yan Fugui paused.

Xu Daming pursed his lips, glared at Shazhu, and glanced at Yan Fugui.

"What are you looking at? You've never seen me, Xu Daming, as Team Captain before."

"I've really never seen him like this before."

"Me too."
