Chapter 37

Everyone in the courtyard was green with envy.

These past few days, Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu had found life unbearable.

Without Sha Zhu's lunchbox, the children clamored for meat every day.

Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng, in particular, pressed his face against the window daily to watch Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye eat delicious food.

Having just lost her husband and being quite attractive, many men drew close to Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu.

Of course, these men were nothing like Sha Zhu.

They would buy Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu a meal, a few steamed buns, or some pieces of meat, and that was enough.

This gave Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu a taste of the benefits, so she began bringing good things home every now and then.

Gradually, Grandma Jia grew suspicious.

"Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu, let me tell you, even though my son is dead, you are still the daughter-in-law of the Jia family."

"As long as I am alive, do not even think about leaving this house."

"If I ever find out you are going out to find men, I will break your damn legs."

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu was annoyed.

Every Third Third Third Third Time she brought meat back, didn't Grandma Jia eat her fill of it?

After eating the things she had worked so hard to bring home, she still scolded her?

Yet Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu did not make a sound.

She still had to maintain her image as a good daughter-in-law.

However, this was no long-term solution, and her thoughts turned again to Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was the most promising person in the courtyard; if she could establish a familial connection with him, future benefits would surely follow.

Thus,

on this day, Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard and went straight to find Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, I have a younger female cousin back in my hometown..."

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu had barely reached this point when Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye refused to listen any further.

"Shut up!"

"Get lost!"

"I do not want to hear whatever you have to say."

Back then you wanted to marry me but failed, and now you want to matchmake for me?

Do you expect me to become the next fool?

Impossible!

Seeing that Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was about to lose his temper, Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu returned home in frustration.

Yet this matter was soon guessed by the people in the courtyard, and even Sha Zhu learned of it.

His heart immediately filled with displeasure.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu was actually trying to matchmake for Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye?

I, Sha Zhu, have taken care of your family for so many years; have I contributed no merit, not even toil?

You, Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu, do not matchmake for me; what exactly do you take me, Sha Zhu, for?

At noon on this day,

in a small alley near the canteen,

"Ma Hua, have you heard?"

"Your master's wife is trying to matchmake for Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye."

"What is your master's wife thinking? Knowing full well that your master and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye do not get along, how could she do such a thing?"

"Could it be that your master's wife has her eyes on Master Lu's wealth and wants to curry favor?"

Ma Hua instantly exploded upon hearing this.

"What the hell 'master' and 'master's wife'? That Sha Zhu is just a stupid dog."

"Jia Jia Jia Dongxu is already dead, yet Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu still has not gotten together with Sha Zhu; do you still not understand?"

"Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu is merely exploiting Sha Zhu to support her family."

"If she were to matchmake for Sha Zhu, who would then support those few children?"

"A bunch of idiots."

Having finished speaking, Ma Hua turned and left.

All of this was overheard by Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao, who happened to be passing by.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu is matchmaking for Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, yet she does not even explain herself to Sha Zhu!

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao felt extremely delighted in his heart.

After getting off work that day, Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao deliberately went to Sha Zhu's doorstep.

"Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao, I am in a bad mood right now, so I advise you to stay far away from me."

"Do not invite trouble upon yourself; scram before I lose my temper."

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao refused to leave, instead stepping forward to mock, "Sha Zhu, I have heard all about it at the factory."

"Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu is trying to matchmake for Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye."

"You have had such a close relationship with Sister Qin for so many years; why did she not matchmake for you?"

Sha Zhu froze.

Has this matter spread throughout the Rolling Steel Factory?

It must have been Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao who spread it, yet he still pretends?

Sha Zhu swung his rolling pin: "Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao, even you dare to mock me!"

"I'll beat you to death!"

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao turned and ran.

Being able to infuriate Sha Zhu gave Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao a tremendous sense of accomplishment!

Sha Zhu only chased him for a short distance before returning.

With so many people in the courtyard, he didn't want to pay compensation again.

However, he absolutely had to vent this pent-up rage!

As it happened, things worked out conveniently.

Last night, Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao went to buy roast duck again, specifically intending to taunt Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu followed him, and upon passing through a deserted alley, Sha Zhu struck him with a blunt weapon, knocking Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao unconscious.

"I'll teach you to mock me!"

"Let's see how you can laugh now!"

"In a moment, I'll let you show off properly at the Rolling Steel Mill!"

Sha Zhu stripped Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao of his clothes, leaving him with nothing but his underwear.

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao was a childless man who had swindled him out of so much money; Sha Zhu was already furious.

Now that he had seized the opportunity, he certainly had to take revenge.

Just as Sha Zhu was about to dump Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao inside the Rolling Steel Mill, someone happened to arrive at that very moment.

Hearing the noise, Sha Zhu abandoned Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao, snatched the roast duck, and fled.

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao, rescued by a kind-hearted person, was dragged to a corner; by the Third Third Third Third Time he woke up,

he immediately felt chilled to the bone, and upon looking down, saw that he was wearing nothing but a pair of shorts.

"You damned Sha Zhu, today I nearly fell for your trap."

"Just you wait; see how I deal with you."

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao's clothes had all been taken by Sha Zhu when he fled.

He then begged the kind-hearted person, who sold him a set of cotton-padded jacket and trousers.

It was already pitch dark before Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao finally returned to the Sihe Academy.

He intended to settle the score with Sha Zhu.

Sihe Academy.

Having beaten Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao, Sha Zhu felt thoroughly satisfied.

After eating Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao's roast duck and drinking some wine, he strolled around the courtyard.
