Chapter 40

Amid the envious gazes of the crowd of beasts, he strode away with his head held high.

Having a bicycle was wonderful; commuting to and from work, he was a sight to behold on the road.

The rate at which people turned their heads to look was off the charts.

Inside the Rolling Steel Factory, more and more coworkers wanted to introduce a match to Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

At first, the matches they proposed were rural widows or unmarried country girls.

Now, everyone they introduced to him was a young city girl.

College students, high schoolers, female factory workers, factory doctors, accountants...

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye felt as though he were selecting concubines for an imperial harem.

Yet, he truly had no desire to take a wife right now.

He had everything he needed.

He did not want to settle for someone just to get by; what he wanted was love.

Even in future generations, such a thing would remain a luxury.

After a busy day,

the Rolling Steel Factory closed for the day.

Ever since Sha Zhu was punished for stealing a food box, no one at the Rolling Steel Factory dared to steal food boxes again.

That evening, after work,

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, on a whim, made dumplings—specifically, pan-fried shrimp dumplings.

At this moment, in the central courtyard,

inside First Uncle's home,

both Sha Zhu and Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao were present.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao and asked, "Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao, you had better speak the truth about what happened that day."

"Otherwise, I have ways to get you kicked out of the Rolling Steel Factory!"

"If you don't believe me, feel free to try."

Sha Zhu tightened his grip on the stick in his hand: "Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao, speak up immediately. Who exactly gave you that idea?"

"Don't try any tricks with me!"

"You need to recognize your current situation."

"From childhood until now, you have never once beaten me!"

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao looked at the two men before him, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Just moments ago, Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai had dragged him here.

They had locked the door and subjected him to torture to force a confession.

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "Since you've already guessed it, why are you still asking me?"

"It was Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye who did it."

"That night..."

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao began to frame Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

In any case, he already suspected that brat, and their relationship was poor to begin with.

Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai finally understood: all this Third Third Third Third Time, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had been plotting against them!

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye is truly vicious!"

"Wang Wang Wang Dahua divorced him, and instead of reflecting on his own faults, he actually holds a grudge against us."

"Now he's practically like a different person."

"Not only has his courage grown, but he's become domineering."

"Especially regarding recent events in our courtyard."

"Hearing Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao say this, I feel that more or less, none of it could have happened without his involvement."

Sha Zhu began recounting matters concerning Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that being wrongly accused of so much money was all Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's doing!

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Some people undergo personality changes after suffering a shock."

"We must be careful from now on."

Sha Zhu, unconvinced, retorted, "First Uncle, I must seek revenge!"

"Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao dared to report me for taking the food box and ambush me from behind."

"It must be that brat Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye pulling strings behind the scenes, causing me to lose so much money."

"I won't let this go; I can't swallow this insult!"

Yi Zhonghai advised Sha Zhu not to act rashly and to observe the situation for a while longer.

Sha Zhu thought it over and nodded.

He could not afford to suffer another loss; he had no money left.

Meanwhile,

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao emerged from First Uncle's house, his back soaked with sweat.

He was genuinely terrified of Sha Zhu's beating.

Upon reaching the rear courtyard, he happened to run into Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao felt somewhat guilty.

After all, just earlier in Yi Zhonghai's home, he had framed Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

After a moment's thought, Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao said, "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, be more careful in the future; don't let anyone slip a small shoe onto your foot."

This could be considered his form of compensation to Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye: ...

Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao is actually giving me kind advice?

I don't believe it for a second.

That bad seed might be framing me.

But that doesn't matter.

Whoever tries to pit someone will get pitted themselves!

Anyway, life is getting better and better, so these beasts certainly won't stay quiet.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye still has to continue his revenge.

Sha Zhu left Yi Zhonghai's home and went straight to find the Deaf Old Lady.

He recounted everything that had happened today to the old lady from beginning to end.

"That feathered beast Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye went too far with this."

"People like him deserve to die without heirs; he simply doesn't deserve a wife."

"Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu even tried to introduce a match to him; she must have been blind."

"She actually failed to see my such an outstanding grandson."

"And he falsely accused me of breaking up his family."

"It was Wang Wang Wang Dahua who insisted on divorce in the first place!"

"She saw no hope in Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye because he is destined to die without heirs."

After cursing Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye for a while, the Deaf Old Lady took a sip of water.

"My good grandson, don't worry; so what if that Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu made an introduction?"

"It's just one wife; Grandma will find you a better one in the future."

"We look decent and have a skilled trade; why should we fear not finding a wife?"

When the Deaf Old Lady pulled the wool over Sha Zhu's eyes, she was just playing!

Very quickly.

Sha Zhu felt reassured.

He even felt that the Deaf Old Lady was his own biological grandmother and truly cared for him.

Watching Sha Zhu leave, the Deaf Old Lady suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
