Chapter 109: If used well, this is definitely a good knife

Hearing Yan Bu Gui's words, Shazhu grinned foolishly:

That's right, that's also an advantage, isn't it?

Let me say something unpleasant.

I could still be a live-in husband.

I could even move to Teacher Ran's home.

Even if the children took Teacher Ran's surname, I wouldn't mind at all.

You say, even with a lantern she couldn't find a man like me, right?

Yan Bu Gui smiled, but said nothing.

This Shazhu, truly lives up to his name.

This really overturns my understanding.

At that moment.

Shazhu picked up a large mesh bag from the ground behind him.

Seeing dried chilies, garlic, and mushrooms inside, Yan Bu Gui's eyes lit up.

However.

Shazhu's next words made his face darken instantly.

San Da Ye, um, I also prepared a gift for Teacher Ran.

He lowered his head, glanced at it, and thought to himself:

Shazhu, you're too stingy—you want me to help but didn't prepare a gift for me; I'd never help you.

Hmph, you got my hopes up for nothing.

Shazhu continued: 'Hey, the foreign stuff won't do, but the local produce I know well.'

Saying that, he lifted the mesh bag and continued:

Look, all local specialties—you can't buy these in the city even with grain coupons.

Please help me take it over.

Hearing this, Yan Bu Gui took off running.

What the heck.

Not giving me a gift is bad enough, but you want me to run errands for you—I'm doing you a favor, Shazhu.

Shazhu hurriedly grabbed him and said:

San Da Ye, don't rush.

There's also one for you.

Upon hearing that,

Yan Bu Gui immediately broke into a smile.

Shazhu laughed: 'Happy now?'

I knew you'd react like that, so I was just teasing you earlier.

Yan Bu Gui couldn't help but darken his face and stepped forward.

Shazhu: 'Hey hey, you really don't want it?'

I'll give it to someone else if you don't want it.

Yan Bu Gui stopped, looked at the mesh bag on the ground, and said:

Shazhu, that's not right.

You make it sound like I'm after your gift.

Shazhu picked up the mesh bag, walked over, and said with an apologetic smile:

How could I? I was just joking with you.

And you're still angry.

San Da Ye, I actually understand your situation.

A family of seven relies solely on your salary.

Oh dear, it's too difficult.

I understand, I understand, ah.

But this isn't meant as a thank‑you to you.

This is my personal token of respect for you.

Do you understand?

Yan Bu Gui: 'Really?'

Shazhu nodded: 'Really.'

Yan Bu Gui: 'Then if things don't work out with Teacher Ran, I can't be blamed.'

Shazhu: 'Of course I won't blame you; just help me with an introduction.'

Come on, take it, you take it.

Yan Bu Gui took it and asked:

Um, didn't Qin Huairu set you up with her cousin?

Upon mentioning that, Shazhu's smile froze instantly.

He was holding in his anger.

But he had already prepared his excuse.

Yeah, but that person's household registration is rural.

I still like being honest, high culture and high quality, you know.

Yan Bu Gui laughed: "Having a foot in both boats."

Shazhu: "Can't do it, San Da Ye."

If you have the letter here, then it disappears over there.

Yan Bu Gui thought for a moment and asked:

Do the First Elder and the Second Elder know about this matter?

Shazhu: "I still need to tell you about this."

Please do not tell the First Elder and the Second Elder about this.

There are three elders in the courtyard, all are respected; have I been respectful to them?

You have something to say.

A household has gold and also a scale, right?

This is all the ability I have.

Everyone is respected, but I can't afford to be filial.

Yan Bu Gui smiled and said:

Alright, then let's try.

Shazhu nodded and bowed excitedly, saying with a forced smile:

You are worrying yourself, San Da Ye.

Yi Zhonghai's home.

Lin Shengli was eating watermelon when Xu Damao walked in.

Shengli, when did you come back?

Lin Shengli pointed at the watermelon on the table and said:

Just back.

Eat some watermelon.

Xu Damao let out an "ai" sound, took a piece of watermelon, and asked while eating:

Shengli, why didn't you inform me in advance and ask me to pick you up?

Lin Shengli laughed, "Do you have a car?"

Xu Damao: "Huh? Car? I have a bicycle."

Ah, I understand.

Again it's Deputy Factory Director Li sending his driver to pick you up, right?

Lin Shengli nodded.

First Aunt was happy: "Shengli really has ability, both going abroad and being picked up by the leader."

Xu Damao: "Look at how you speak to First Aunt."

Your Shengli is now a big star in the factory.

After the New Year the factory will open a branch, and Shengli will be the Factory Director.

Now even Deputy Factory Director Li is currying up to Shengli.

Lin Shengli: "Damao, don't speak carelessly; if people spread it, it will get twisted."

Xu Damao was stunned: "They're all our own people; Xiao Juan definitely won't spread it, and the First Elder and First Aunt won't either."

Lin Shengli: "You can say it here, but not outside."

If Deputy Factory Director Li hears it, it won't be good.

Xu Damao: "Yes, yes, I won't speak recklessly outside."

Lin Shengli: "By the way, Damao, come with me outside."

I have something to tell you.

Xu Damao: "Eh."

Lin Shengli and Xu Damao went to a deserted corner of Zhongyuan.

Xu Damao looked around and said:

Shengli, there's no one here; tell me whatever you want, and I will do my best.

Lin Shengli: "Nothing."

I thought about it, and I still decided to teach you a few moves.

Earlier, Xu Damao wanted to become Lin Shengli's disciple.

But Lin Shengli never agreed.

Xu Damao could hardly believe happiness came so quickly.

He was also stunned on the spot.

Lin Shengli laughed, "What? Not willing?"

Xu Damao finally came to his senses and said excitedly:

Willing, more than willing, Shengli, that's wonderful.

Suddenly.

He stretched out his hand and tapped his lips, saying:

Look at my great heresy.

I should now call you Master.

Master, please accept my disciple's bow.

After saying that, Xu Damao knelt down.

Lin Shengli: "All right, get up."

"See you at Red Star Park at six tomorrow morning."

"By then Xiao Juan will also come, and I'll teach the two of you kung fu."

Xu Damao said respectfully, "Thank you, Master."

"If you teach me kung fu, I'll beat Shazhu every time I see him from now on."

Lin Shengli: "Let's go."

This is Lin Shengli's true purpose.

Since Shazhu still dares to come provoke him, he'll just play with Shazhu slowly.

Xu Damao and Shazhu are sworn enemies.

As long as Xu Damao can beat Shazhu, he can bully him however he likes afterward, right?

Lin Shengli also doesn't worry about Xu Damao's character.

After this period of contact, he has already seen Xu Damao's true nature.

As long as you treat him sincerely, he will also treat you sincerely.

Moreover, he won't teach him all the kung fu.

Even if he did teach it all, with the system's backing, he wouldn't have to worry.

Besides.

Someone like him, Xu Damao would never dare to offend lightly.

Xu Damao, though his character isn't great, he is very smart.

As long as he submits to you, he will definitely be a fine blade in your hand.
