Chapter 177: Shazhu Wants to Mortgage His House to Me

Early the next morning.

Lin Shengli was lying in bed with You Fengxia when suddenly a knocking sound came.

You Fengxia asked nervously:

"Could it be that Sister Juan has come back?"

Lin Shengli said calmly:

"She wouldn't come back this early."

"Today is Sunday; she probably won't be back until evening."

You Fengxia: "Who could it be then?"

"No, I'll get up first and hide."

Lin Shengli laughed: "Where are you going to hide?"

"It's fine, I'll go see who it is."

After saying that, Lin Shengli got out of bed, put on his clothes, walked over and opened the door.

It turned out to be Shazhu.

Lin Shengli frowned and asked:

"Do you have something?"

Shazhu: "Um, Shengli, I, I want to borrow some money from you."

Hearing that, Lin Shengli smiled, said nothing, and was about to close the door.

Shazhu quickly stuck out his foot to block it, apologetically saying:

"I'll mortgage my house to you."

"I'll borrow for one month; if I can't repay, the house will be yours."

Lin Shengli: "Wait; I'm not fully awake yet, I'll talk after I wake up."

Shazhu's words also moved Lin Shengli's heart.

Someone like Shazhu probably won't have the money to repay in a month, so then his house would become mine.

However, he wasn't in a rush either; he first left Shazhu hanging.

Shazhu looked at Lin Shengli's tightly closed door, let out a long sigh, shook his head, and left.

He really had no way out now.

He wanted to pursue Yu Haitang, but he had no money now.

His only option was to borrow money from Lin Shengli; next month Ma Hua will get his salary, then he can borrow from Ma Hua to repay Lin Shengli.

Back home, Shazhu took out his leather shoes and shoe polish brush, while oiling the shoes he thought about how to find an excuse to invite Yu Haitang out for a chat.

He knew Yu Haitang was currently at He Yushui's house.

But seeing He Yushui now annoyed him; he didn't want to go to He Yushui's place.

Just then, the door was pushed open; he looked up and saw Yu Haitang, and he became very excited.

"Hey, come in, come in, come in, quick quick quick."

Saying that, he put down the leather shoes.

Yu Haitang asked: "Are you going out?"

Shazhu: "Where would I go? Nothing's wrong, come in and sit, sit, sit, ah."

"I was just about to look for you."

Yu Haitang, as she walked in, asked:

"Do you have something to see me about?"

Shazhu: "Nothing, I just want to chat with you."

Yu Haitang sat down and said:

"Oh, I was also just about to chat with you."

Qin Huairu was sitting at home when she heard Yu Haitang's voice; she hurriedly opened the door and came out.

Upon stepping out, she saw Yu Haitang had just closed the door.

She couldn't help but frown, growing more worried.

She worried that Shazhu would get together with Yu Haitang.

Given Yu Haitang's personality, if they got together, Shazhu would never again think of helping her.

"No way, I must think of a way to split them up!"

Qin Huairu thought for a moment, then silently said to herself:

Shazhu's home.

As soon as Yu Haitang sat down, she got straight to the point and asked:

"Shazhu, after thinking it over, I want to ask you a question."

"I hope you can answer honestly."

Shazhu: "Speak; as long as I know it, I will definitely answer honestly."

"After all, I've always been an honest person."

Yu Haitang smiled and asked softly:

"I heard that Xu Damao injured you there, and the doctor said you can't have children?"

Hearing that, Shazhu involuntarily shuddered all over.

Yu Haitang really dares to ask that.

She actually dares to ask such a thing.

However, he soon spoke up:

"Listening to Xu Damao's nonsense."

"At that time I was also dozing off, careless, so I got ambushed by Xu Damao."

"But it's no problem, my body is fine."

Yu Haitang: "Really?"

Shazhu: "Of course it's true, you can tell just by looking at me."

"I'm so sturdy, how could I look like I have a health problem, right?"

Yu Haitang: "That's not necessarily true."

"After all, this is an internal injury."

"But don't mind, I'm just asking casually."

Shazhu: "I understand, I understand. Actually, Haitang, you should know, I've never gotten along with Xu Damao, we've been feuding since childhood."

"His slandering me is normal."

"By the way, Xu Damao is truly incapable of having children; otherwise, Lou Xiao'e could divorce him."

"Recently, our courtyard held a general meeting."

"Lin Shengli and Lou Xiao'e, in front of everyone..."

Before Shazhu could finish speaking, Yu Haitang interrupted:

"Saying Xu Damao can't have children."

Shazhu stared: "You already knew?"

"That's good, stay away from him in the future."

Yu Haitang: "Shazhu, if you're like that, I'll look down on you."

"I thought you were upright and wouldn't gossip behind people's backs."

"I didn't expect you to be like this."

Shazhu: "It's not that I'm talking behind his back."

"I didn't make it up; he even acknowledged it back then."

Yu Haitang: "Do you know why Xu Damao doesn't refute?"

"Because he truly wants to draw a clear line with Lou Xiao'e and divorce her."

"Also, Lin Shengli has done him a favor, so he doesn't want to fall out with Lin Shengli."

"So he alone bears the false accusations."

"In that light, I actually think his character is quite noble."

Shazhu: "Noble? No, Haitang, don't listen to his nonsense."

"Xu Damao is just a petty person in our courtyard, everyone knows that."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask your sister and brother-in-law."

Yu Haitang: "Asking would be pointless; you're all just jealous of Xu Damao."

Shazhu: "Haitang, how can you be like that?"

"You, you've been given a love potion by Xu Damao."

Yu Haitang: "I'm already an adult, I'm not stupid, I can tell good from bad."

Shazhu: "Fine, let's not talk about this; I believe your eyes are clear-sighted."

"Actually, as for me, let's talk about me."

Yu Haitang: "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Shazhu thought and said: "As for me, I actually have no special skills; I just know how to cook, nothing else."

Yu Haitang: "Hmm, you're quite honest."

Shazhu: "That's right, I'm not too fond of politics either, which is different from you, right?"

"So, it's not a vehicle on the same road."

Yu Haitang: "That's not a big deal either."

"If you don't participate in the factory's political activities, at least you're not a traitor."

"What do you think Yang Weimin is?"

"If you don't share my view, don't betray me."

"Do you agree?"

Shazhu: "Yes, Yang Weimin..."

Just then, Qin Huairu pushed open the door, carrying an enamel basin.

Upon seeing her, Shazhu's smile froze.

"Yo, Haitang is here."

Qin Huairu pretended not to know anything.

Yu Haitang glanced at the enamel basin in Qin Huairu's hand and asked:

"Master Qin, what is this?"

Qin Huairu: "Oh, I came over to help Shazhu tidy up his room and wash his clothes."

"It's fine, you guys chat, you guys chat."
