Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Shazhu couldn't help but stare, but soon he grinned foolishly and said:

"Well, that's fine; I'll call your mother-in-law and carry you back."

Qin Huairu: "Carrying you back will just make things worse."

"Let the people in this courtyard chatter as they like."

Shazhu thought for a moment and said: "That's how it is."

"I'll teach you a saying, but it's not mine."

"A leader told me that."

"He said a person should learn to let go."

Qin Huairu thought and said: "I've given up, and others have succeeded."

Shazhu grinned foolishly: "That's true; why didn't anyone tell me this before I turned thirty?"

"Now I've become a hot commodity."

Qin Huairu: "Don't say you're fat and then pant."

"Nobody can put up with someone like you."

"Except me."

Shazhu cheerfully said: "Not necessarily, not necessarily."

Qin Huairu's home.

Bang Geng ate rather heavily, and his stomach felt uncomfortable.

He frowned, then set down his chopsticks.

Xiao Dang looked at him and said: "Brother, maybe Mom is eating at Sha Shu's place?"

Bang Geng said nothing.

Jia Zhangshi's face darkened again.

Xiao Dang was right; this was a reminder to her.

Qin Huairu hasn't returned for so long; she must have eaten with Shazhu.

After thinking, she slammed her chopsticks on the table and shouted:

"Outrageous!"

Then.

She stood up and walked outside.

At the same time.

Qin Huairu was drinking with Shazhu.

She wanted to have a few more drinks, then go to Lin Shengli's Siheyuan to wait for Lin Shengli when she was slightly tipsy.

"Shazhu, I'm telling you, you're not allowed to look for other women from now on, got it?"

Shazhu: "No, it's not, why should I? I'm still an unmarried man."

Qin Huairu: "Pah!"

"Shazhu, no matter what woman, if she comes looking for you, I guarantee I'll chase her away."

"In this lifetime, you'd better not even think about finding another woman."

Shazhu nodded helplessly and said: "Fine, it's okay; you chase one away, and I'll call your mother-in-law to give you a lesson."

Qin Huairu laughed: "New person, new things, new country; my mother-in-law has no authority over me either."

Just then, Jia Zhangshi pushed the door open and stormed in.

"See if I have the authority to manage you!"

Shazhu saw this, his face changed in fright, and he hastily stood up.

Jia Zhangshi reached out and grabbed Qin Huairu's arm, saying:

"Come on, let's go home."

"Don't embarrass me here."

Qin Huairu was pulled up by her.

Shazhu hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, don't shout."

Jia Zhangshi's face darkened, she looked at Shazhu and roared angrily:

"I'm shouting, so what?"

Qin Huairu, somewhat choked up, said: "Mom, please don't be like this; I'm not going back, or else you'll let the neighbors laugh at us."

Jia Zhangshi shouted: "Whoever wants to gossip can gossip."

Having said that, she suddenly reached out and slapped Qin Huairu.

Seeing this, Shazhu widened his eyes and his fists clenched involuntarily.

He felt sorry for Qin Huairu.

But when he saw that the person he was facing was "Gui Jianchou" Jia Zhangshi, he could only sigh.

Qin Huairu covered her burning cheek and said, feeling wronged:

"You, you how could you hit someone?"

Jia Zhangshi: "I'm hitting you, it's you I'm hitting."

"You don't observe womanly virtues; what's wrong with me disciplining you?"

"I'll also whip you, I'm going to whip you."

Having said that, Jia Zhangshi walked to the side and picked up a feather duster.

Shazhu could bear it no longer.

He walked up to Qin Huairu, blocked Jia Zhangshi, grabbed the hand that Jia Zhangshi held the feather duster with, and shouted angrily:

"All right, you're being unreasonable, aren't you?"

"I just like dealing with unreasonable people."

Jia Zhangshi shouted angrily: "I manage my daughter-in-law, what business is it of yours?"

Shazhu: "I'll manage you!"

Saying that, he pushed Jia Zhangshi to the side and shouted: "Get over there and stay!"

Jia Zhangshi stumbled from the push.

After she steadied herself, Jia Zhangshi stared at Shazhu in disbelief and asked angrily:

"Shazhu, you, you actually dare to push me?"

Shazhu: "Push you? I still want to whip you."

Jia Zhangshi: "You whip me? I don't believe it."

"Go ahead and whip me if you've got the guts."

Shazhu pointed at Jia Zhangshi and shouted angrily: "Is there anyone like you? Huh?"

"Tell you, stop shouting, stop shouting."

"You just won't listen."

"I'll start shouting first, who's afraid of whom?"

"You think being a daughter-in-law is easy, huh?"

"All these years, she's borne hardship to raise the kids and you, is she easy?"

"Serving your food, serving your drink, is it not worth it for you, right?"

"For a lousy steamed bun for the horse, you have to put on a smiling face in front of your coworkers."

"Exchanging a few pounds of grain tickets for the horse still means listening to vulgar talk."

"To keep this job, he looks at the blueprints himself; can she understand them?"

"For whom? For you!"

"Just for you, this nasty mother-in-law?"

"Is it worth it?"

"I tell you, she's endured you for several years."

"Go ahead and hit her again, try it?"

"I tell you, we two are fine."

"That's my sister; I'm not like you, she treats me well."

"It's she who helps me mend and wash here, oh, I remember people's kindness."

"If you insist on saying that, I don't want this sister."

"I'll just marry her as my wife, what of it? We'll live together and kick you back to your hometown!"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but frown,

She really didn't want to live together with Shazhu.

As for Jia Zhangshi, she was already furious, her face ashen.

She pointed at Shazhu and shouted angrily: "Pah!"

"You're just a eunuch, you've been beaten up by Xu Damao, Shazhu, saying this isn't embarrassing, are you?"

Upon hearing that, Shazhu's momentum immediately dropped.

What Jia Zhangshi said is correct.

He hasn't even reacted; since the last time Xu Damao damaged him a little, he hasn't had any reaction.

How could he be with Qin Huairu?

At first he thought that as long as he was with a woman, he would have a reaction.

However.

Jia Zhangshi saying that instantly made him feel inferior.

If they were together and he still had no reaction, how embarrassing would that be!

Seeing Shazhu not speak, Jia Zhangshi let out a cold snort and said:

"Shazhu, you have nothing to say, right?"

Qin Huairu let out a long sigh and said: "Alright, let's both say a bit less, Mom, you also stop shouting; I'll just go back with you."

Back home, Qin Huairu closed the door, pulled Jia Zhangshi into the inner room, and said softly:

"Mom, can you not cause a scene?"

"Please listen to me."

"I never really wanted to marry Shazhu; I just wanted to string him along."

"You see, Shazhu is getting more and more anxious to find a partner."

"If I weren't pretending to say I want to be with him, I'd be afraid I couldn't keep him steady."

"When he marries someone else later, will he still support us?"

"If we drag it out until he's older and can't find a wife, then he'll support us for the rest of his life."

"Don't worry, I will never marry Shazhu; he's so ugly, how could I possibly marry him?"
