Chapter 216: Xiao Dang: If my mom doesn't marry you, I will!
Hearing Shazhu's words, Xiao Dang thought for a moment and asked:
"I heard from my mom that Yu Haitang went to the cafeteria to find you? What's going on?"
Shazhu: "No, this, what does this have to do with your mom?"
Xiao Dang: "How is it not related?"
"I also heard that Yu Haitang got divorced."
Shazhu: "Yes, she divorced, but what does that have to do with me?"
"She's now getting along really well with Xu Damao."
Xiao Dang: "No, Yu Haitang still doesn't believe Xu Damao can't have children?"
Shazhu: "Yu Haitang already had a son with her ex-husband, so whether Xu Damao can have children or not, she probably wouldn't mind."
In fact, Shazhu is indeed thinking about Yu Haitang now.
However, he noticed that Yu Haitang seems more inclined to partner with Xu Damao.
Just thinking about it makes him depressed.
Xu Damao is his rival.
If Yu Haitang thinks that way, doesn't it show Xu Damao is better than him?
This is something he absolutely cannot accept.
Xiao Dang snorted coldly and said: "I don't care either way; in this lifetime, you'd better not think of marrying anyone else."
Shazhu laughed: "Then who should I marry? You?"
Xiao Dang: "No, what are you thinking?"
"We're from different generations."
"Marry my mom."
Shazhu: "I know, I'm just joking with you."
"If I were to marry your mom, your mom and your brother would also have to agree."
"Xiao Dang, you can't let me spend my life alone, can you?"
"I'm already forty-one."
Xiao Dang: "Don't rush, I'll think of a way."
"Besides, we've waited so many years; there's no rush for this moment, right? Just wait a bit longer, okay?"
"Anyway, I'll tell you one last time: in this lifetime, you'd better not think of marrying anyone else; you have to marry my mom."
Shazhu said unhappily: "I didn't say I won't marry your mom, but she needs a time limit."
"Go, go back and persuade your brother."
"And talk to your mom as well."
"As long as your brother and mom agree, if they agree today, we'll get married today."
Xiao Dang: "My mom of course agrees."
"Don't worry, I'll convince my brother."
Shazhu: "What if I can't convince him?"
Xiao Dang: "Then, then I, I will definitely be able to convince him."
Shazhu rolled his eyes and asked:
"If I can't convince them and your mom can't marry me, who would marry me? You?"
Xiao Dang: "Me? Okay, if your mom won't marry you, I'll marry you."
"This really pisses me off; I still don't believe this evil."
Shazhu exclaimed excitedly: "Fine, fine, fine, just remember what you said."
Xiao Dang: "Then you also have to promise me you won't marry another woman."
Shazhu: "Fine, fine, fine, as long as you keep your word, I won't marry another woman."
Xiao Dang stood up, pointed at the bed, and said:
"Go sleep."
"You're not allowed to go anywhere."
Shazhu: "What time is it? I'll just sleep?"
"Can I even fall asleep, being alone?"
"By the way, there's something else I still want to mention to you."
"I've decided to buy a TV; it's not expensive, 296 yuan."
Xiao Dang happily said: "Buy it."
Shazhu: "Then you have to go back and tell your mom that my salary is now being collected by her."
Xiao Dang: "Ah? Then I can't say it; if you want to say it, you say it yourself."
Shazhu: "Then have your mom come over."
Xiao Dang: "Okay, this matter, it's better for you to talk to her."
After saying that, Xiao Dang walked out.
On the other side.
Qin Huairu called Bang Geng to the cellar.
"Bang Geng, why aren't you persisting?"
"If you want to eat Shazhu's food, just sneak a bite; when have I ever not left some for you?"
"You ate it in front of everyone now; this, this, sigh."
Bang Geng: "What's this? Already eaten, so be it. Anyway I'll go along with you; if you don't agree to marry Shazhu, that's it."
Besides, Xiao Dang and Huaihua both said that; if I don't eat, they might really not acknowledge me as their brother—what should I do?
Qin Huairu: "You, you, that's all your ambition amounts to. Anyway, remember: you must absolutely not loosen your mouth—in short, you cannot agree to my marrying Shazhu."
Bang Geng: "Actually, I don't want to oppose your marriage; Shazhu has been good to you for so many years—I think you'd be better off marrying him, and I wouldn't have to keep pretending."
Qin Huairu's face darkened, she said in a low voice: "What are you talking about? We've already agreed; we'll keep pretending for a few more years, and in a few years Shazhu will be nearly fifty—by then he probably won't find a partner."
Bang Geng thought, then asked: "So you don't like Shazhu?"
Qin Huairu: "How many times have I told you? I could never like someone like Shazhu."
Bang Geng: "Fine, I'll keep pretending."
To be honest, I don't want you to remarry Shazhu.
Qin Huairu: "Remember, this is between us only—even Xiao Dang and Huaihua must not be told."
Bang Geng: "Got it."
Qin Huairu: "Go back."
Qin Huairu had just walked out of the cellar when she saw Xiao Dang coming out of the house.
Upon seeing her, Xiao Dang hurried over, lowering his voice to say:
"Mom, Sha Shu is looking for you."
Qin Huairu glanced at Shazhu's home, nodded, and walked over.
"What's the matter?"
Qin Huairu walked into Shazhu's home, sat down at the table, and asked.
"Um, I went to San Da Ye's place today and saw he bought a 19-inch black-and-white TV."
"I want to buy one too; it's not expensive, just 296 yuan."
Upon hearing Shazhu's words, Qin Huairu frowned and said.
"Yo, Shazhu, you're quite bold—nowadays it's not expensive."
"That's several months of your salary."
Shazhu: "I don't think it's expensive; I want to get one."
Qin Huairu happily said: "Then sell it."
Saying this, she seemed to think of something and hurriedly asked.
"No, Shazhu, are you still hiding private money?"
Shazhu: "What private money? I don't have any."
Qin Huairu: "Then how are you buying the TV?"
Shazhu: "Isn't the money with you? You've been collecting my salary for several months."
Qin Huairu snorted coldly, spat out three words unhappily: "I have no money."
Shazhu said with a sullen face: "Hey, this is unreasonable."
Qin Huairu said somewhat impatiently: "Oh, hasn't that money been saved up?"
"Look, Bang Geng is about to find a partner and start a family."
"And there are two daughters too."
"When I was their age, I had already married into this courtyard."
"So what's the deal then?"
"Are you telling me to go drink the northwest wind?"
Shazhu, even more sullen: "So I end up with no wife and no money."
"I, I shouldn't have let you handle this account."
Qin Huairu, smug: "You regret it now?"
Shazhu: "I regret it till my intestines turn green."
Qin Huairu, even more smug: "Regretting won't help; it's too late."
"That's it."
In Shazhu's extreme sullenness, he stood up and walked outside.
