Chapter 206: Regretting Again!

That's right.

Jia Zhangshi knew she couldn't stop Qin Huairu.

In that case, it might be more practical to take Shazhu's money.

Qin Huairu gave three dollars, Shazhu also gave three dollars, so she would have six dollars a month.

She could save that money without touching a cent.

Shazhu said excitedly, "That's right."

Well, then I'll go first.

Shazhu now wanted to tell Qin Huairu right away that Jia Zhangshi had agreed to their marriage.

However, just as he ran out the door, he remembered there was still an important matter undone: getting Jia Zhangshi to produce the money first.

So he immediately turned back.

Jia Zhangshi asked, "What else is there?"

Shazhu: "Um, Mom, Huairu is in the hospital now, the expenses will be several hundred; could you give us a little?"

"Fifty, if you give fifty that'll be enough; I'll figure out the rest, okay?"

Jia Zhangshi snorted coldly and said, "No, I don't have that much money."

Shazhu: "Then, then thirty."

"I can't haggle anymore; I really can't come up with that much money. Without money, the hospital won't do the surgery, and then Qin Huairu won't be able to come back."

Jia Zhangshi thought for a moment and said, "Well, then I can only come up with twenty."

Shazhu gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh, and said, "Fine, twenty it is."

Half an hour later.

Lin Shengli's siheyuan.

Qin Huairu sat there without saying a word.

Shazhu only took twenty dollars, and she was very unhappy inside.

Shazhu laughed, "Be content."

Qin Huairu snorted coldly, speaking in an unpleasant tone:

"How am I supposed to be content?"

"These twenty dollars, although they said they could let our family get by,"

"but my mother-in-law is getting on in years; we need to save how much money?"

"But you, you only brought twenty dollars."

"I thought you were more capable."

Shazhu: "This, this is all I got after a lot of talking."

"Although the money is a little less, I still have something happier to tell you."

Qin Huairu frowned and asked:

"What is it?"

Shazhu grinned foolishly and said, "Your mother-in-law agreed to our marriage."

Upon hearing that, Qin Huairu's frown tightened even more.

This Shazhu is really stubborn.

Now this is going to be troublesome.

She had thought Jia Zhangshi would insist on stopping and disagreeing.

How did she end up agreeing?

She could have just refused outright, to make Shazhu completely give up.

But.

She worried that if she refused Shazhu, he would turn around and go find Teacher Ran.

After thinking a bit, she asked:

"How did my mother-in-law agree?"

Shazhu laughed, "You wouldn't understand this, would you?"

"Your mother-in-law is actually somewhat like San Da Ye, greedy for money and liking to take advantage."

"I promised to treat her as my real mother from now on, and even changed how I address her to 'Mom.'"

"By doing that, she became a bit hesitant."

"Then, striking while the iron was hot, I promised her I would give her three dollars every month from now on."

"Good grief, she agreed right away."

Qin Huairu snorted coldly, shook her head, and said:

"Shazhu, I still can't agree right now."

Shazhu asked with a gloomy face, "Why?"

Qin Huairu: "Bang Geng might not agree."

"You know, I only have this one son; I have to consider his feelings."

Shazhu: "So, if I manage to convince Bang Geng, would you be willing to marry me?"

Qin Huairu: "Let's talk about it later."

"Alright, I need to go back now."

Shazhu: "Let's go."

The next day.

Shazhu sat in the back kitchen watching everyone work.

He was not in a very good mood.

Qin Huairu originally said that if she could convince Jia Zhangshi, she would be willing to marry him.

But he finally managed to convince Jia Zhangshi, and Qin Huairu changed her mind again.

And she said she still needed to convince Bang Geng.

He tried talking to Bang Geng last night, he originally thought Bang Geng would agree, he treats Bang Geng so well ah.

Who knew Bang Geng would flatly refuse.

Just then, Liu Lan walked over.

"Shazhu, I have some good news for you."

Shazhu made a nasal sound, didn't speak, but picked up the enamel water tub and drank water.

Upon seeing that, Liu Lan's face darkened involuntarily.

Ma Hua hurriedly replied with a smile:

"Hey, Sister Liu, what's the news ah"

Liu Lan gave Shazhu a sideways glance and said angrily:

"Since Shazhu doesn't want to listen, I ah won't say it."

Ma Hua laughed: "Isn't there someone who wants to listen?"

Shazhu spoke up: "Not speaking doesn't mean I don't have ears, ah"

Ma Hua: "Sister Liu, go ahead."

Liu Lan laughed: "Your conduct, Shazhu, let me tell you ah—I saw it on Director Li's desk."

"Seeing the letters accusing Xu Damao ah, oh my, there are so many."

Shazhu happily said: "So what then, ah"

"Well..."

"Never mind, never mind, don't say more, don't say more."

"Almost said the wrong thing, better not say it, don't say it, ah"

Liu Lan: "With your crow-mouth, you're far worse than Xu Damao."

"No one likes you."

Shazhu became unhappy: "That's right, even Xu Damao flatters you."

"Liu Lan, remember what I say."

"Xu Damao, don't mess with my accepting gifts."

"Just once ah, I'm telling you just once ah"

"From now on, we won't talk about the past anymore."

"I, I'll just shove him straight into the cesspit."

Hearing that, Ma Hua couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shazhu doesn't even know how many times he's said that.

"But when has anyone dared to provoke Xu Damao?"

"Not to mention that Shazhu can't even beat Xu Damao now; even if he could, he wouldn't dare provoke him ah"

"Xu Damao is now a leader."

"And hearing Ma Hua's laughter, Shazhu asked somewhat displeased:"

"Not Ma Hua, what are you laughing at?"

"You really think I don't dare, huh?"

Ma Hua hurriedly replied with a smile: "I dare, I dare, I dare—who's my master ya? How could I not dare ne?"

Shazhu then nodded satisfied and said: "Hey, that's right—your master is no coward."

"If Xu Damao really dares to provoke me, I really dare to deal with him."

"What good is that ah, anyone can say that ah, I look at you ah, Shazhu, you'd better take it easy, Xu Damao is still your superior ne"

"Turn around and I'll have you wearing tiny shoes in an instant, making you unable to walk."

"Shazhu: I don't care about all that; I just want satisfaction."

"Liu Lan: At most you'll just hit people; they play politics with scheming, you know ma?"

"Scheming! You know ma?"

"Besides, you can't even beat Xu Damao now ah"

"Shazhu: Then I won't ambush him ah, I won't hit him with a blunt stick ah"

"Liu Lan: Forget it ba, I think you'd better just cook honestly ba"

"Ma Hua thought for a moment and said: Master, Liu Lan is right ah"

"Xu Damao is someone we can't afford to provoke now—take it easy, ah"

"He's a leader now ne"

"Shazhu waved his hand impatiently and said angrily: Alright, alright, go chop your vegetables ba, Master—I know what I'm doing."

"In short, we must absolutely not let Xu Damao have his way!"

"Wait ba—I'll be at odds with Xu Damao for the rest of my life."
