Chapter 30

First, to vent his anger;

second, to use today's incident as a warning to everyone.

From now on, anyone who thinks about reporting Sha Zhu for taking food boxes had better think twice!

If you report him, your fate will be just like Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao's.

Glancing at the crowd of onlookers around him, Sha Zhu snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Sha Zhu was now burning with anxiety; at noon, he had instructed his apprentice, Ma Hua, to look after Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu when serving dishes.

But that damned scoundrel had completely failed to follow his orders.

He was terrified that Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu would misunderstand him and stop talking to him afterward.

Sha Zhu walked to Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu's home and called her out.

"Sister Qin, I was supposed to serve your dishes today, but that kid Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye suddenly called me away."

"That good-for-nothing Ma Hua! Before I left, I specifically told him to take care of you and serve you extra portions of braised fish!"

"Who would have expected that damned scoundrel to completely ignore what I said?"

"I heard you were wronged at noon, so I prepared two large food boxes for tonight, containing a full jin of boneless fish belly meat."

"But just as I was leaving the factory gate, Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao reported me!"

"Rest assured, I just gave Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao a severe beating."

"I believe that from now on, Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao will never again have the courage to report me for taking food boxes."

"As for the food boxes, Sister Qin, rest assured; leave it to me."

Sha Zhu spoke with such fervor that his spit flew everywhere.

He thought he would still have opportunities in the future to bring food boxes to Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu had already learned everything earlier.

She felt extremely bitter in her heart.

That was two large food boxes of fish and meat, gone just like that.

At noon, she had hoped to enjoy a good meal, only for Ma Hua to give her nothing but a few fish bones.

Hearing Sha Zhu speak now, she immediately felt so wronged that tears streamed down her face.

"Sha Zhu, you know my family has no money to begin with."

"Jia Jia Jia Dongxu just died, and now this incident has occurred; life at home is truly too difficult."

"Only you are still willing to help us, a widow and her orphaned children."

"I cannot make things too difficult for you; they say no one is allowed to take food boxes anymore."

Since Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's death, apart from Sha Zhu, who remained as enthusiastic toward her as ever, no one else was willing to help her family.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu had to hold on to Sha Zhu; after all, he was unmarried, and once he was full, his whole family was fed.

Any extra money could subsidize food for her three children.

Sha Zhu quickly said, "Sister Qin, don't listen to their nonsense."

"I have a good relationship with the factory director; taking food boxes was tacitly approved by him."

"Rest assured; from now on, I will just be more careful in my actions."

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu nodded, pretending to wipe away tears.

But in her heart, she hated Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye to the core.

When she returned inside, she heard Mother Jia cursing: "That beast Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye!"

"That heaven-slaughtering, stinking loner!"

"Our family is already in such dire straits, yet instead of helping, he causes sabotage!"

Since Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's death, Mother Jia had already hated Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye thoroughly.

Now hearing that Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had stopped Sha Zhu from taking food boxes, Mother Jia hated him even more.

Preventing Sha Zhu from taking food boxes was tantamount to cutting off her family's means of survival, wasn't it?

Seeing that Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu had returned empty-handed with nothing,

a fresh wave of fury surged within her!

"Why did you come back empty-handed?"

"Didn't Sha Zhu bring any delicious food for you?"

"Today in your Rolling Steel Factory cafeteria, they ate braised fish..."

"That dead loner Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye seems to have decent cooking skills; didn't Sha Zhu bring any back for you?"

Mother Jia was practically drooling with craving.

She despised Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye for being a loner, yet still wanted to eat the braised fish he cooked.

Her shamelessness had reached a certain realm!

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu wiped her tears and repeated what Sha Zhu had just said.

After hearing this, Mother Jia was furious.

She had waited all afternoon just for a mouthful of braised fish!

Yet Sha Zhu had not brought it back.

And this matter was reported by Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao!

Mother Jia began cursing again: "Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao is also a loner!"

"He doesn't care whether we, a widow and her orphans, live or die; he wants to starve our whole family to death!"

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu found her nagging annoying.

Mother Jia only knew how to curse, doing nothing all day long.

Even stitching shoe soles could help supplement the household expenses.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu now wanted to remarry again.

It would be wonderful if she could marry Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

She could enjoy the finest food and drink, and her children could too.

At this moment, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye leaned against the window, eating grilled fish and listening to the commotion, feeling utterly content.

"Sha Zhu beat up Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao!"

"Truly, heaven is aiding me!"

"Take it slow; the real show has only just begun."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye soon finished his dinner, carefully washed the bowls and chopsticks, boiled a pot of water, and prepared to brew some tea.

About an hour later, Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao returned.

Lou Xiao'e supported Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao as they walked, both wearing particularly grim expressions.

As soon as Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao entered, he dragged Lou Xiao'e straight toward Sha Zhu's doorstep.

"Sha Zhu!"

"Pay up!"

"You bastard son of a turtle, get your ass out here, grandfather demands it!"

Lou Xiao'e chimed in, "Sha Zhu, you're in big trouble this Third Third Third Third Time."

Big shots, please give flowers, votes, and everything~.

022. Off to Re-education Through Labor

Every household was waiting to watch the spectacle.

As soon as Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e returned, they stood right at Sha Zhu's doorstep.

These people also came out.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had gone out to clean the latrines and, upon returning, saw this scene; he simply stood within the crowd to watch the drama unfold.

Sha Zhu emerged with his clothes draped over him; spotting Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao, a surge of fury immediately rose within him!

"Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao, you bastard son of a turtle, playing dead and still acting righteous?"

"What do you want? Do you want another beating?"

Sha Zhu swung his fist, ready to strike Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao.

But unexpectedly, Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao stood motionless, even stretching out his neck.
