Chapter 195

~6 min read 1,151 words

This was even more sumptuous than the New Year.

Yan Bugui even announced: "In a while, Eldest, you come with me to buy a bicycle!"

"Now that our family has a bicycle, you'll have more confidence when looking for a partner!"

A bicycle!

Oh my!

Yan Jiecheng was so happy he almost jumped up.

He had wanted to buy a bicycle for a long time; otherwise, no girl would date him.

Now, they were finally going to buy one.

Yan Bugui and his son went to buy the bicycle.

Yi Zhonghai's house.

The deaf old lady was still rambling on endlessly.

"That troublemaker Lu Jianye, we should have driven him out back then."

"Now it's him who's making the courtyard restless."

"Liu Hai Zhong has a brain hemorrhage, and we still have to spend money to see him."

Big Mama Yi was already annoyed, and hearing the deaf old lady say this made her even more so.

"Deaf old lady, shut your mouth! Even eating can't stop your mouth; otherwise, don't come back tomorrow!"

"If you hadn't swallowed He Great Qing's money back then, would Sha Zhu be in such a miserable state?"

"If you hadn't insisted on harming Lu Jianye, would he have changed so much?"

"None of you have any dignity for your age; what kind of ancestor are you? You're more like an old shrew!"

Perhaps because she had a son, Big Mama Yi now stood tall.

And Yi Tie Niu was good to her, helping her with chores every day and doing well in his studies.

Big Mama Yi was in a much better mood, and she didn't even need to take as much medicine.

The deaf old lady was furious, but she dared not say anything else.

This household had changed; it was no longer up to Yi Zhonghai to call the shots.

If Big Mama Yi left in a fit of anger, then the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai would truly starve to death.

When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.

Life went on like this for another period of time.

Sha Zhu was punished and obediently cleaned the toilets.

Watching Lu Jianye's success every day, he could only feel jealous.

Sometimes, he regretted it too.

If he hadn't caused trouble that day, would he have been punished at work?

If that were the case.

Qin Huairu would definitely have given him more benefits.

But now...

It was all too late.

The silly fool.

He regretted this and that, but he never regretted taking the fall for Especially Bang Geng.

In his view.

Especially Bang Geng's trouble was his to take.

One day after work.

Sha Zhu was exhausted, his whole body reeking of a foul smell.

... Seeking flowers...

It used to be the smell of food, and Qin Huairu was happy to talk to him.

Now it was different; covered in this stench, even Sha Zhu felt disgusted with himself.

The first thing he did every day when he got back was take a bath, using up several bars of scented soap.

The Jia family suffered heavy losses, and even eating cornmeal buns every day was a struggle.

Especially Bang Geng didn't go to school.

He didn't have money for tuition, and he didn't want to be mocked by his classmates.

Anyway, he wasn't good at studying, so it didn't matter if he didn't go.

One day, a young lady came to the Sihe Academy; it was Especially Bang Geng's homeroom teacher, Teacher Ran Qiuye.

She was there for a home visit to the Jia family.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang Shi cried and wailed, saying the family was truly in difficulty and couldn't afford the tuition.

Later, Qin Huairu went to find Sha Zhu, hoping he could borrow some money.

Sha Zhu didn't want to get involved at first.

He couldn't even get a meal every night now, and in the morning, he would go to the steel mill to find Ma Hua and secretly eat a cornmeal bun.

And that wasn't even guaranteed every day.

He really didn't have money to pay Especially Bang Geng's tuition.

But as soon as he stepped out, he saw Ran Qiuye.

Sha Zhu hadn't seen a beautiful girl in many days, and at this sight, he almost had a nosebleed again.

His spring had arrived in this spring!

"Teacher Ran, Sister Qin's family is really in difficulty. I'll think of a way, and I'll definitely send it to you in a few days," Sha Zhu said, taking the initiative to talk to Ran Qiuye.

This was a teacher, and the more he looked, the more beautiful she was.

Seeing Sha Zhu's expression, Qin Huairu knew what was going on.

The silly fool, still thinking about Especially Bang Geng's homeroom teacher?

In his dreams!

Jia Zhang Shi also glared at Sha Zhu.

Just be your childless self; you still want to find a wife? As long as I, Jia Zhang Shi, am alive, don't even think about finding a wife!

Ran Qiuye said a few more words and left.

After Ran Qiuye left, Sha Zhu felt like he had truly come back to life.

This girl was great, a teacher, and Especially Bang Geng's homeroom teacher at that!

Sha Zhu sat at home, smiling foolishly.

If he and Ran Qiuye became a couple, it would also be good for Especially Bang Geng in the future.

And so.

Sha Zhu started rummaging through his boxes and cabinets; he wanted to find something good to take to a matchmaker to introduce him to a partner.

He had originally planned to go to Yan Bugui, after all, Yan Bugui was also an elementary school teacher.

But thinking of Yan Bugui's greedy nature and his own current situation, Sha Zhu decided against it.

To get Yan Bugui to do something for him, it would cost a lot of money.

Sha Zhu could barely scrape together fifty cents to pay a matchmaker now.

124. Pig teammate Especially Bang Geng! Sha Zhu eavesdrops

He Yushui had just seen it; when Sha Zhu saw Ran Qiuye, his legs couldn't even move.

For so many years, every time her silly brother saw a girl, he was like this!

He Yushui went to the backyard to talk to Lu Jianye and his wife.

"Big Brother Lu, Sister Bai, look at my silly brother, he's looking for a partner again."

"Just now he saw Teacher Ran Qiuye, and his eyes were shining."

"He went home and started rummaging through everything, finally finding fifty cents to go to a matchmaker to introduce him to a partner."

"What is he thinking? How can he be so confident?"

"He's just a toilet cleaner now; how could he possibly be worthy of Teacher Ran Qiuye?"

"I think he and Qin Huairu are a match made in heaven; they are the ones with the ill-fated connection!"
