Chapter 55: Jia Family's Blind Date

Adversity reveals true feelings.

Something happened.

Only then can you see who treats you well and who treats you badly.

Moreover, Shazhu simply tossed his bicycle key to Xiao Yangtou.

"Little Yang brother, getting married is a big day; use my bicycle to carry the bride home."

An excellent opportunity to win people's hearts.

Why not grab it?

Only the Yang family are true three-generation hired farmers.

"Zhuzi, if it's broken, we're afraid we can't afford to pay for it."

Many people treat bicycles as precious.

But Shazhu deliberately does the opposite.

This bicycle thing.

In Shazhu's eyes,

it's just a means of transportation.

Otherwise, I wouldn't let Yushui ride the new bicycle to learn.

"It's fine." Shazhu said as pleasantly as possible, "My bicycle happens to also share in your wedding joy."

"Thank you, Zhuzi."

Xiao Yangtou accepted Shazhu's kindness.

Nowadays.

Riding a bicycle to bring home one's wife is no less than, in later times, driving a sports car to nightclubs to pick up women.

The identity of a prostitute weighs on the Yang family, making them somewhat breathless.

People all have this competitive mindset.

They thought about borrowing a bicycle.

Only Yan Fugui didn't agree.

These people inside the siheyuan look down on prostitutes from the bottom of their hearts.

Shazhu voluntarily lent the car to the Yang family, not only wanting to help the old Yang family, but also intending to thwart some people's scheming.

Qin Huairu will stay overnight in the siheyuan tonight.

This was planned by Yi Zhonghai.

Go back the next day.

How to go back?

No work on Sunday.

In other words.

Shazhu's bicycle became free.

According to the hypocrite's thinking, such an opportunity wouldn't be missed; so if Shazhu hasn't guessed wrong, Yi Zhonghai will either come himself to borrow the bicycle, or arrange for Jia Dongxu to come borrow it.

No work.

Shall we lend this bicycle or not?

We can't possibly charge a rental fee for the bicycle like Yan Fugui does.

Shazhu has only one strategy toward Yi Zhonghai.

Kill the enemy with a soft knife.

A hardline turn against.

It doesn't serve Shazhu's interests.

Only a brainless idiot would do that; Yi Zhonghai's connections and relationships at the steel plant, the streets, and the hutongs are far beyond what a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old youngster could oppose.

For now, the plan is.

We must first numb Yi Zhonghai.

Draw closer to Xu Daming's relationship.

Together with Xu Daming, join hands to dominate the siheyuan.

The combination of the siheyuan's war god and the siheyuan's true person junior will surely make those beasts in the siheyuan want to die from pleasure.

Shazhu, who successfully lent out the bicycle, felt an inexplicable ease in his body.

He hummed a little tune and returned to the central courtyard.

The Jia family's home was already packed with people.

Everyone was looking at the new bride.

Isn't it just Qin Huairu?

It's not like she's some celestial maiden.

As for being so infatuated—

Shazhu completely forgot how he had been infatuated with the Qin widow in his past life; he was truly having his soul snatched away by Qin Huairu, the Qin widow—a middle-aged married woman who had borne three children and still had to support her mother-in-law, while Shazhu waited on her like a celestial maiden; even during the time when Lou Xiaoe brought her son Hexiao back to look for Shazhu, Shazhu remained obsessed with Qin Huairu, which made Lou Xiaoe angrily take her son back to Hong Kong Island, never to return.

"Shazhu."

Xu Daming excitedly jumped down from the Jia family's windowsill.

Just this lecherous conduct.

In this lifetime, he's bound to die because of a woman.

"I've put the things in your house: a fish, a chicken, and some vegetables."

"Four dishes and one soup." Shazhu took it all on, "No problem, I'll handle it."

"I'm not telling you that."

Xu Damu grabbed Shazhu and shoved him into Jia Dongxu's home.

The people inside the house.

They were all stunned.

They probably never expected Shazhu to appear before them in this way, let alone that he would open his mouth with a string of vulgarities.

"Damn, Xu Damu, you turtle bastard, why are you pushing me?"

"Let me introduce, this is a resident of our Siheyuan, named He Yuzhu, who works at the scrap recycling station; his family's culinary skill, tonight's meal will be cooked by him, Zhuzi, and his cooking is top-notch even for the tens of thousands of workers at Yagangchang."

Qin Huairu was right there.

Yi Zhonghai, in order to save face for the Jia Family, lumped all the things he had bought onto the Jia Family, saying they had bought them especially for Qin Huairu.

"Dong Xu's mom knew you were coming today, she was very happy, and early this morning she had Dong Xu buy two fish, a chicken, a duck, and some carrots and cabbage."

"In-laws, the occasion is big, we just need to eat something simple."

The person who calls Jia Zhangshi "in-laws".

Shazhu initially thought it was Qin Huairu's father.

He secretly thought the Jia Family's matchmaking was truly unusual—setting the time at night notwithstanding, still having the father accompany the daughter to the meeting—only later did he realize it was a mix-up.

It wasn't Qin Huairu's father.

It was Qin Huairu's uncle.

Shazhu inexplicably thought of Qin Jingru.

In his previous life, that was the pawn Qin Huairu used to scheme against Shazhu.

This uncle probably doesn't have a daughter named Qin Jingru, does he?

"That's right." Yi Zhonghai laughed and said, "Dong Xu is currently an apprentice at Yagangchang, learning skills from me; I estimate he'll become a regular worker after the New Year, and then his monthly salary will be 200,000."

Qin Huairu's uncle saw the sewing machine, his eyes lit up; the Jia Family's conditions seem acceptable, Qin Huairu marrying into the Jia Family can just wait to enjoy blessings.

"In-laws, I'm not just boasting about my own child—Huairu is now the prettiest girl in the surrounding villages, many people have taken a liking to her, matchmakers have worn out our Qin family's doorstep; it's also fate that brought you two together, the elder just happened to live in our Qin village when he went to the countryside, and Dong Xu is his apprentice—this isn't a marriage arranged by heaven?"

Seeing Jia Zhangshi's complexion still not looking good.

He praised again.

"This child Huairu is filial, skilled at work, and over the past few years she's also learned excellent needlework; in her spare time she can mend clothes for people, make new garments to supplement household income—her needlework is famous throughout the surrounding villages."

While everyone's attention was on Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu.

Shazhu also turned his gaze toward Qin Huairu.

Looking at the person who, in his past life, had caused him great misery.

Shazhu's heart was unexpectedly calm.

Perhaps Qin Huairu's uncle was right—Qin Huairu marrying into the Jia Family just needs to wait for blessings.

Just because of Jia Zhangshi's stubborn opposition.

Qin Huairu also couldn't have a good life.

This is the ultimate revenge against Qin Huairu.

What else could make him feel satisfied than watching his enemy live a life worse than death?

None.

He seemed to feel Shazhu's gaze.

Qin Huairu lifted her head and glanced at Shazhu.

She felt a bit awkward inside—how could this person be so ugly? Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai had set her up with Jia Dongxu, whose looks completely outclassed Shazhu.

And that big donkey-faced guy—at first glance he's not a good person; when his eyes fell on Qin Huairu there was a hint of malice, and Qin Huairu didn't even know what she had done to offend him.
