Chapter 125: Shazhu and Qin Huairu Have Fallen Out Again

Having heard this, Shazhu didn't listen any further; instead, he turned and walked toward Zhongyuan.

He worried that if he kept listening he wouldn't be able to hold back his foul language.

"Why?"

"Why treat me like this?"

"What exactly did I do wrong?"

"I'm a cook with a golden rice bowl—why do you look down on me?"

Shazhu walked while angrily questioning himself in his heart.

He was now extremely angry, his anger uncontainable.

If Xu Damao were right in front of him, he would surely beat Xu Damao senseless, venting the fury burning in his chest.

Arriving at Zhongyuan, he glanced at Qin Huairu's tightly closed door, stopped his steps, looked around, and thought to himself:

"Looks like Qin Jie is still good to me."

"I shouldn't keep thinking about that damn virgin maiden."

"If I could marry Qin Jie, that wouldn't be bad either."

"I'd gain a big son and two daughters for free."

"That's buy one, get three free."

"I scoff—should be marry one, get three; no, get four—Qin Jie plus three kids."

"No, it's five, plus Bang Geng's grandma."

"That's a huge gain, right?"

"Marry one woman and you get a mother, a son, and daughters—really a big win."

"But I'm an unmarried man; if I don't try a virgin maiden, life feels like it's missing something, imperfect."

While he was thinking wildly, suddenly Bang Geng's voice came:

"Mom, I helped you sabotage Shazhu today—why haven't you given me a reward?"

Hearing that, Shazhu involuntarily shuddered all over.

Then.

He tiptoed toward Qin Huairu's home.

Qin Huairu's home.

Qin Huairu was doing needlework; hearing Bang Geng's words, she stood up nervously, went to the window to look outside, saw no one, then approached and said to Bang Geng:

"No, Bang Geng, I asked you to help me with something—do you still want a reward?"

Qin Huairu didn't know that at that moment Shazhu was hiding right outside her door.

Bang Geng shouted, displeased:

"You didn't already promise me?"

"Promised things can still be taken back."

Qin Huairu thought it over and indeed felt that a promise to a child shouldn't be broken.

"Then you must absolutely not tell anyone about this."

"If your Sha Shu finds out, our life will become difficult from now on."

Xiao Dang asked: "Why?"

Qin Huairu: "Because we still rely on your Sha Shu's support to get by."

Bang Geng: "I got it—hurry up and give it to me."

"If you give me more, I'll tell Shazhu."

Qin Huairu: "You......"

Bang Geng's words left Qin Huairu so angry she couldn't speak for a moment.

After taking a deep breath and struggling to suppress her anger, she pulled out a mao coin and handed it to Bang Geng.

When Bang Geng happily reached out to take it, Qin Huairu pulled her hand away.

Then.

She earnestly instructed:

"Bang Geng, you must remember what Mom told you."

"You must absolutely not let your Sha Shu know about this, otherwise......."

Just then, a loud "bang" suddenly sounded.

Qin Huairu and the three children were all startled.

She glanced over and saw Shazhu standing in the doorway like a dark figure.

It was obvious.

Shazhu kicked the door open.

It's over.

Shazhu heard my and Bang Geng's conversation.

Qin Huairu was instantly dumbfounded.

But she quickly came to her senses.

Immediately she flashed a foolishly smiling expression at Shazhu, walked up to him, and asked:

"Shazhu, you, what's wrong with you?"

Shazhu roared: "What's wrong with me?"

"How dare you ask me what's wrong with me?"

"Qin Huairu, I never expected your heart to be so vicious,"

"You say, how could your heart be so vicious?"

"I've laid my heart and liver bare for you, yet you treat me like this?"

"Doesn't your heart hurt?"

Shazhu paused, then slammed his chest hard, and roared:

"I hurt, I hurt here, it really hurts, do you know?"

At that moment, Lin Shengli, Xu Damao, and Yan Bu Gui walked over, followed by others from the courtyard.

Qin Huairu glanced, ignored Shazhu's roar, looked at Lin Shengli, smiled, and said:

"Shengli has arrived."

Lin Shengli gave a light smile, nodded, and asked:

"Aunt Qin, what happened?"

Lin Shengli's words brought Shazhu back to his senses; he glanced aside and saw, besides Lin Shengli, also Xu Damao and Yan Bu Gui and others.

Just as he was about to speak, Yi Zhonghai's front door opened.

Yi Zhonghai and the eldest aunt came out, shouting:

"Shazhu, what are you shouting about?"

Shazhu pointed at Qin Huairu and angrily said:

"Ask her why I'm shouting."

Qin Huairu gave an apologetic smile and said:

"Shazhu, can we talk about our matter tomorrow?"

Shazhu roared: "No."

Qin Huairu continued with an apologetic smile:

"I'll come find you later tonight, and we'll talk properly."

Just then, Jia Zhangshi appeared from somewhere.

She lunged up to Qin Huairu, without a word slapped her across the face, then shouted:

"Shameless thing!"

"Why don't you just go die already?"

"I've long suspected you have something going on with Shazhu."

"As I thought, you say, do you deserve Dong Xu? Do you deserve our Jia family?"

Qin Huairu covered her burning cheeks, looked wronged, and choked out:

"Mom, you're going too far!"

Lin Shengli nodded, indicating agreement:

"Indeed, it's too much!"

"Aunt Qin raised you to be fat-headed and big-eared, oh no, I mean she fed you to be fat-headed and big-eared."

"Sorry, I'm at a loss for words, I keep misspeaking."

"All these years, Aunt Qin has been the one raising you, enduring hardship."

"You're fine, you slap Aunt Qin's face without saying a word."

"Everyone judge, is there a mother-in-law like her who does this?"

As the words fell, Shazhu raised his arms and shouted:

"No!"

Upon hearing, everyone stared at each other.

Jia Zhangshi glared at Shazhu and snapped:

"Shazhu, I'm disciplining my daughter-in-law; what's it to you?"

Lin Shengli indicated he was speechless.

Could it be that Jia Zhangshi treats him as invisible?

Actually, he also knows that Jia Zhangshi doesn't want to provoke or offend him.

But.

Jia Zhangshi doesn't want to provoke him, but he wants to provoke Jia Zhangshi.

Who let Jia Zhangshi offend him?

He's also narrow-minded.

Whoever offends him, he will take revenge at the first chance.

One could say he seeks revenge from morning to night, forever.

Shazhu: "No, Auntie, I just wanted to ask you."

"On what basis do you decide I have something with Aunt Qin?"

Jia Zhangshi: "I saw it with my own eyes, heard it with my own ears."

Shazhu flared: "Which eye saw it?"

"Which ear heard it?"

"Tell me, so I can cut them off."

Hearing this, Jia Zhangshi instinctively stepped back, covering her ears with her hands, as if fearing Shazhu would cut them off right then.

Lin Shengli chuckled: "Bang Geng's grandma, Shazhu even said he'd gouge out your eyes."

"Why don't you cover your eyes then?"
