Chapter 217: I regret not doing it earlier!

Looking at Qin Huairu's back, Shazhu couldn't help but complain:

"Hmph, getting more and more outrageous!"

"Waiting for you, the yellow flowers are cold."

"If it really won't work, I'll just marry Xiao Dang, and you can be my mother-in-law."

"By then I'll live a good life with Xiao Dang, leaving you to spend your old age alone."

"Sigh, Xiao Dang is too young, and also a generation apart; if we marry, there will definitely be gossip."

"First of all, I can't get past Qin Huairu."

"We still need to think of a plan; if all else fails, we'll just go to Yu Haitang."

Thinking this through, Shazhu walked out the door.

He knew that today Yu Haitang went to Xu Damao's house to eat.

Houyuan

Yu Haitang was washing dishes in the courtyard.

Bang Geng walked over carrying a bag.

Yu Haitang frowned and asked, "Bang Geng, what's this?"

Bang Geng: "Oh, I moved to Houyuan to live."

"I'm leaving first."

Yu Haitang nodded.

Watching Bang Geng walk into the Deaf Old Lady's room.

Yu Haitang let out a soft breath, held the washbasin, and walked toward Xu Damao's house.

Her mood is still quite complicated.

Xu Damao is rich, but his character isn't great, and he also can't have children.

Although she had a son with her ex-husband, the son is with her ex-husband, and she still wants to have another child.

Shazhu's character is not bad, at least better than Xu Damao's.

But Shazhu has no money.

His wages are all collected by Qin Huairu.

She also worries that Shazhu and Qin Huairu have some shady relationship.

However, Shazhu now has two more rooms, both in Zhongyuan and Houyuan, and they're fairly spacious.

This also makes her a bit hesitant.

If Shazhu and Qin Huairu completely cut ties, she still wants to be with Shazhu.

Of course.

Now she leans more toward living together with Xu Damao.

Because she increasingly suspects Shazhu and Qin Huairu have some shady relationship.

Otherwise, how could Shazhu let Qin Huairu collect his wages?

Now letting Bang Geng live in Houyuan also makes her more suspicious.

Xu Damao was at home, cracking melon seeds while watching TV.

Yu Haitang walked in holding the washbasin.

After putting down the washbasin, she walked over to Damao's side and said:

"Hey hey, Damao, I just saw Bang Geng move into the house left by the Deaf Old Lady."

"He's carrying luggage; I think he intends to live there."

Xu Damao: "That's also normal."

"Shazhu wants to marry Qin Huairu; these small favors are no small matter."

"Hey Haitang, don't think about it; we're both divorced, why not rekindle our old relationship and live together?"

Yu Haitang laughed: "Let me think it over again, ah."

Xu Damao became a bit unhappy: "What are you still thinking about?"

"You won't lose out by following me; I work at a movie theater and my wages aren't low either."

Yu Haitang: "Xu Damao, don't push me."

Xu Damao: "Fine fine, I won't push you, I'll wait for you, okay."

Yu Haitang: "By the way, you said is there a possibility that Qin Huairu wants to seize Shazhu's property?"

"You didn't know? Even Shazhu's wages are now collected by Qin Huairu."

Xu Damao sneered: "I think this is totally normal; Qin Huairu and Shazhu have always been entangled."

"If you say they have no intimate relationship, I don't believe it."

"Now Shazhu even lets Qin Huairu collect his wages; I think they might get married soon."

Yu Haitang: "I also think so, but I also find it strange; if they have feelings, why didn't they marry earlier?"

"If they marry now, Qin Huairu might be older; it's uncertain whether she can still bear children."

Xu Damao: "This is Qin Huairu's cleverness; only a foolish simpleton like Shazhu would fall for it."

"Qin Huairu probably never even thought about giving Shazhu a child."

"So she deliberately drags Shazhu along; the longer she drags, the more advantageous it is for her."

"Think about it: if she gave Shazhu a child, Shazhu might not be so attached to her precious son Bang Geng."

"The property might not be left to Bang Geng either."

Yu Haitang thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "What you say makes a lot of sense."

"So, that means Qin Huairu is really scheming."

Xu Damao: "You're only just getting to know Qin Huairu now?"

"When it comes to scheming, Qin Huairu ranks first in our institute."

Yu Haitang: "Hey, Xu Damao, I've had a question I want to ask you."

"Why were you suddenly stripped of the deputy director role back then?"

"Was it because of Shazhu?"

Xu Damao, with a disdainful look, said: "Shazhu doesn't have that ability."

"If he had that ability, he wouldn't be called Shazhu."

"Why did I have to step down?"

"It's all those two old clods, Second Elder and San Da Ye."

"They both schemed against me behind my back, writing complaints."

"But that's not the main factor."

"What is the main factor?"

"I underestimated Deputy Director Nie."

"I truly didn't expect the person behind him to be so tough."

Yu Haitang thought for a moment and asked: "Does that have anything to do with Lin Shengli?"

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said: "It might be related."

"Alas, that's also my fault."

"You said I had long seen that Lin Shengli had ability."

"I've also been flattering him, and in fact he treats me as a friend."

"Otherwise, could he teach me kung fu?"

"But I'm a damn fool, sigh, truly regretful; people just shouldn't get arrogant."

"This arrogance makes one lose sense of proportion in actions."

"I admit that after I became the leader of Ya gang chang, I neglected Lin Shengli."

"Now, my relationship with him can't return to how it was."

"Moreover, he might also have come to hate me; I heard Shazhu's kung fu was taught by him."

"Now I can't get past three moves with Shazhu."

"Before, I could defeat Shazhu in seconds."

Yu Haitang: "Exactly, I remember after you became leader, you looked down on everyone."

"You were just too arrogant back then."

Xu Damao: "So I now regret, regretting not acting earlier."

"Alright, sigh, let's not talk about this."

"It's all old news now."

"Even Guan Gong still has his Maicheng episode."

"But back to the point, in this courtyard, apart from Lin Shengli, my family lives the best."

Yu Haitang stayed silent, picked up some sunflower seeds, cracked them while turning on the TV.

At that moment, Shazhu's shout suddenly rang out:

"Yu Haitang, Yu Haitang…"

Xu Damao and Yu Haitang exchanged a glance.

Yu Haitang laughed: "Well, Shazhu called me."

Xu Damao: "Don't go out, pretend you didn't hear; what good could Shazhu's call bring you?"

Yu Haitang: "This is probably not a good time and it's getting late, I should also go back."

Xu Damao: "It's still early, so you go out first, see what Shazhu wants, then come back, and we can chat, okay?"

Yu Haitang nodded and said: "Alright."
