Chapter 149: Fists are truth

Seeing Shazhu frightened, Xu Damao was very excited.

Before, he was always beaten by Shazhu, instantly defeated.

Now the roles have switched.

Therefore he is also very grateful to Lin Shengli.

If Lin Shengli hadn't taught him martial arts, he would still be bullied by Shazhu.

He looked at Shazhu, smiling smugly, and said:

"Shazhu, I remember you said, 'Fists are truth.'"

"Today, I'm returning those words to you."

After saying that, Xu Damao suddenly picked up the long bench Shazhu had just made and charged at Shazhu.

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said, "Xu Damao, don't use a weapon—speak properly."

Xu Damao nodded, threw away the bench, then rushed at Shazhu.

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang exchanged a glance, then also rushed forward.

Yan Jiekuang looked around, then also followed and rushed forward.

Seeing this, Yan Bu Gui couldn't help but nod secretly, thinking to himself:

"My sons still support me at the critical moment."

"Much stronger than Liu Haizhong."

In fact, the Yan Jiecheng three brothers had also seen Xu Damao bully Shazhu.

Now, with Xu Damao taking the lead, they charged forward.

No matter what, Shazhu still bullied the Yan family.

Moreover, they have always been dissatisfied with Shazhu.

Now that they finally see Shazhu in trouble, they of course want to step on him.

Xu Damao alone is enough to make Shazhu nervous.

What's more, adding the Yan Jiecheng three brothers.

In an instant, Shazhu was knocked to the ground, howling for help......

Finally, Yi Zhonghai couldn't bear to watch and spoke up to stop it.

Shazhu paid 23 dollars, and the matter was settled.

However, Shazhu said he had no money, so he would owe it for now.

Afternoon.

Qin Huairu returned from her hometown in the countryside.

Jia Zhangshi was sitting at home; seeing her, she quickly stood up and said:

"You're back—why are you alone? Didn't your cousin agree to come?"

Qin Huairu: "She agreed."

Jia Zhangshi: "Then why didn't she come with you?"

Qin Huairu snapped: "If she came with me, am I supposed to buy her ticket, or is she supposed to buy mine?"

Jia Zhangshi: "To handle affairs for her, of course she bought it."

Qin Huairu: "Isn't that so?"

"So, let me come back first."

"I was worried you'd have to buy my ticket."

"Tomorrow, she'll come on her own."

"What about the three kids?"

Jia Zhangshi: "If you hadn't said, I would have forgotten."

"Shazhu got beaten again today."

Qin Huairu: "Ah? How did he get beaten again?"

"It's the first day of the lunar new year—who hit him?"

"Shengli?"

Jia Zhangshi: "It was Xu Damao."

Qin Huairu frowned and asked:

"Xu Damao did it?"

"What's going on?"

Jia Zhangshi briefly explained what happened today.

Qin Huairu laughed: "That's what Shazhu deserves."

"What do the kids know?"

"They just cause us trouble."

"Fortunately, everyone is reasonable, so we don't have to pay."

"This money should be paid by Shazhu."

Jia Zhangshi: "Right, our three kids basically earned three dollars for free."

"Shazhu returned the three dollars to San Da Ye."

"Then each paid ten dollars to San Da Ye and Xu Damao."

"Hey, you say Xu Damao used to always be beaten by Shazhu."

"How did it suddenly reverse now?"

Qin Huairu: "You still don't know."

"Of course it's Shengli teaching Xu Damao kung fu."

Jia Zhangshi thought for a moment and asked: "Well, then you go tell Shengli to also teach Bang Geng kung fu."

"That way, our Bang Geng will from now on have no one daring to bully him."

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and said: "Hmm, but I'll still try."

If it were before, Qin Huairu would definitely have said no.

But ever since she had that kind of relationship with Lin Shengli, she gained a bit of confidence.

However, she also knows Lin Shengli doesn't like Bang Geng.

So she doesn't hold too much hope.

Jia Zhangshi: "Right, Shazhu said he's out of money, he still owes the money he compensated Xu Damao and San Da Ye."

"You say, after your cousin arrives, will Shazhu still have money to buy meat?"

Qin Huairu: "Even if he has no money, he still has to buy it; he promised, and if he doesn't buy, even if my cousin agrees, I could still break them up."

Jia Zhangshi: "Right, we must do this."

The next morning.

Lin Shengli saw Zheng Juan's family of three off to the bus station.

Zheng Juan's family of three were going back to their rural hometown to visit relatives.

They said they'd be back in a few days.

Just as he returned home, Qin Huairu walked in.

Lin Shengli frowned and asked:

"How did you come?"

Qin Huairu hurriedly whispered: "I, I saw Zheng Juan wasn't there, so I came to find you; I miss you so much."

Lin Shengli: "From now on, you're not allowed to say such things in this siheyuan."

Qin Huairu: "Yes, yes, yes, I won't say it anymore in this courtyard."

Lin Shengli: "I heard your cousin is coming today?"

Qin Huairu: "Yeah, my cousin came to meet Shazhu for a matchmaking."

"I originally didn't want to either, but Shazhu kept begging me, because he often helps me out."

"So, I, I felt embarrassed to refuse."

"However, with Shazhu being like that, I think my cousin wouldn't take a liking to him."

Lin Shengli: "Your cousin is not bad, quite pretty."

Qin Huairu: "Of course, she's never been in a relationship; she's an unmarried young lady."

"Shengli, do you like her?"

Lin Shengli: "Guess."

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and said: "Then can you give her a status?"

Lin Shengli: "What are you thinking? The only woman I can give a status to is Zheng Juan."

Qin Huairu: "Yes, yes, but my cousin is an unmarried young lady; maybe she, she can't be like me."

Lin Shengli: "Alright, go back; from now on in this siheyuan, come see me less."

"I don't want the people in the courtyard, including outsiders—in other words, everyone—to know about our relationship."

Qin Huairu: "Okay, I know; I won't tell people about our relationship."

"Shengli, I'll try mentioning my cousin to see if she can accept being with you without a status."

Lin Shengli: "No need, let it be; like this, I bought a new siheyuan, I'll give you the address, and when you're free you can come help me clean."

Qin Huairu exclaimed excitedly: "Great, rest assured, I'll definitely make the house spotless."

Lin Shengli nodded slightly.

Lin Shengli believed Qin Huairu's words; Qin Huairu is indeed skilled at housework.

Too bad she's a white lotus.

Seeing him not speak, Qin Huairu continued:

"Then I'll wait for you there tonight."

Lin Shengli: "......"

Approaching noon.

Qin Huairu's home.

Qin Huairu, while pouring boiling water, said:

"Jingru, I just said a lot to you earlier."

"I also said quite a bit yesterday."

"Just one sentence: if you want to leave the countryside, this is the only way."

"Find a city person to be with."

"If you still want to be a farmer, earning seven work points a day, living like this, then even your sister's efforts would be in vain."

Qin Jingru thought for a moment and said: "Shazhu?"

"I'm just worried he's especially stupid."

"If he weren't stupid, why would everyone call him Shazhu?"
