Chapter 463

~6 min read 1,004 words

Could it be that he had cultivated his character?

Wan Ping'an took out ten yuan and handed it to Yan Jiecheng.

"Go and spread the word in the courtyard that when you came back just now, you saw Shazhu bring back a big pumpkin, and you were very envious!"

"Remember, don't say anything else; just say you saw Shazhu bring back a big pumpkin!"

Wan Ping'an smiled.

It was time to punish Shazhu.

He didn't want to do it himself; let He Daqing do it!

Yan Jiecheng didn't understand what Wan Ping'an wanted to do, and didn't dare to ask more. Anyway, it was just a few words, so he went to spread the word directly.

In less than ten minutes.

Everyone in the courtyard knew that Shazhu had brought back a big pumpkin.

"Dad, are we eating pumpkin tonight?"

He Yushui ran home excitedly.

"You want to eat pumpkin?"

"No, we didn't buy any pumpkin today."

He Daqing shook his head.

"Dad, didn't Brother bring back a pumpkin?"

"I heard from people in the courtyard that Brother brought back a big pumpkin. When Brother comes back, Dad, will you make pumpkin rice for me?"

He Yushui tugged at He Daqing's pants and begged.

"Fine, when your brother comes back, I'll make pumpkin rice for you."

He Daqing wasn't surprised.

Sun Tiezhu followed Wan Ping'an and had brought pumpkins back several times.

It was normal for Shazhu to bring a pumpkin back.

Wait for it!

He Daqing didn't know that Shazhu was in trouble.

Time went back fifteen minutes; Shazhu gave the pumpkin to Yi Zhonghai and went to the toilet, and Yi Zhonghai returned directly to the Sihe Academy.

Just as Shazhu came out of the toilet, he was stopped.

"Shazhu, come here, I have something to talk to you about."

Jia Zhangshi beckoned to Shazhu.

Her bright smile squeezed her eyes into slits.

"Uh, what is it?"

Shazhu didn't want to deal with Jia Zhangshi.

But thinking of Yi Zhonghai's teachings to respect the elderly, Jia Zhangshi was of the same generation as He Daqing, so he should respect her a little.

"Come over here and talk."

Jia Zhangshi called Shazhu to the wall.

"What exactly is it?"

Shazhu didn't want to get too close to Jia Zhangshi.

"I saw you bring back a big pumpkin just now and give it to Yi Zhonghai. I recognize that pumpkin; it must have been grown by Wan Ping'an."

"Wan Ping'an said that the things he grows aren't sold to our family, aren't sold to you, and aren't sold to Yi Zhonghai or the Deaf Old Lady."

"Does Wan Ping'an know you gave the pumpkin to Yi Zhonghai?"

"Does your dad know?"

Jia Zhangshi was very proud.

She had caught Shazhu's leverage!

Shazhu's face changed; how had Jia Zhangshi seen it?

He knew Jia Zhangshi too well; once she caught his pigtail, she would definitely blackmail him, and not just once, but many times!

"Give me five yuan!"

"And help me bring back a tomato every day, and I'll keep your secret."

"If you don't give it, I'll go tell Wan Ping'an first, and then tell your dad He Daqing. Guess if your dad will break your dog legs?"

Jia Zhangshi was very proud.

Shazhu glared at Jia Zhangshi, his fists clenched tight.

"You want to hit me?"

"Pah!"

"I'll lend you the courage, you wouldn't dare hit me!"

Jia Zhangshi looked down on Shazhu.

The only people in the Sihe Academy who dared to hit her were Wan Ping'an, He Daqing, and the Deaf Old Lady.

Shazhu absolutely wouldn't dare to hit her.

"Five yuan is too much, I can't afford it. I'll give you one yuan first, and I'll give you the rest within a month."

"I can't help you bring tomatoes. Bringing one portion is fine, but bringing two portions will definitely be discovered. The risk is too great!"

Shazhu shook his head.

He suppressed his anger.

"No, you must help me bring tomatoes."

"I don't need you to bring them every day. Bringing one every two days is fine, right?"

Jia Zhangshi bargained.

Finally.

The two reached an agreement.

Shazhu would give Jia Zhangshi five yuan, to be paid within a month.

Every three days, he had to bring back a tomato for Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi had won a complete victory!

Shazhu was dejected!

He had been blackmailed!

"No, this absolutely cannot go on!"

"I have to bring food for the Deaf Old Lady every day, and every day or two, I have to bring some for Yushui, and now I have to add Jia Zhangshi."

"Three people's portions are too easy to be noticed."

"I'll go find First Elder; he will definitely be able to help me!"

Shazhu hurried back to the Sihe Academy.

He didn't even go home and went straight to find Yi Zhonghai.

"First Elder, something happened, you must help me!"

As soon as Shazhu entered the door, he begged hurriedly.

"Don't be in a hurry. Come, sit down, drink some water, and tell me what happened?"

Yi Zhonghai let Shazhu sit down.

The First Aunt brought a bowl of water for Shazhu.

Shazhu drank it in one gulp.

"First Elder, when I gave you the pumpkin just now, I was seen by Jia Zhangshi."

"After you left, she came looking for me, blackmailed me for five yuan, and threatened me that I must bring her a tomato every three days."

Shazhu became angrier as he spoke.

But the leverage was in Jia Zhangshi's hands; if he didn't agree, Jia Zhangshi would go to Wan Ping'an to report him and also tell He Daqing.

"How could Jia Zhangshi be like this?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you."

"Shazhu, you know Jia Zhangshi's temper."

"If you don't give her anything at all, she definitely won't let it go."

"How about this: I'll try to get her to agree to take two or three yuan, and you bring her a tomato every five days. How about that?"
