Chapter 219: Too much!

The next day.

Shazhu held the TV as he entered the Siheyuan, and San Da Ma was cleaning in front of the gate.

"San Da Ma."

San Da Ma: "Yo, Shazhu, you really bought a TV, huh?"

Shazhu: "I did."

Saying that, he placed the TV on the ground.

San Da Ma asked: "How big is it?"

Shazhu said with a proud, tsundere expression: "Twelve-inch."

Just then, Yan Bu Gui came out of his house.

San Da Ma: "Hey, dad, look over here."

"Shazhu bought a twelve-inch big TV."

Yan Bu Gui smiled, pointed at Shazhu, and said:

"Yo heh, Shazhu, you're challenging me with this."

Shazhu lifted the TV and said:

"Not that, San Da Ye."

"I was just thinking, Xu Damao got a nine-inch one, didn't he?"

"Let's get a twelve-inch, I'll piss him off."

"If he ends up breaking his TV, how good would I feel?"

After saying that, Shazhu walked away with a proud, tsundere look.

Watching Shazhu's back, San Da Ma felt a surge of emotion:

"Not lacking food or clothing, yet scheming leads to poverty."

"But Shazhu doesn't scheme, and he's not poor either."

Yan Bu Gui: "Who says he's not poor?"

"He was borrowing money everywhere just a few years ago."

"Hey, I wonder if Shazhu bought the TV with borrowed money?"

"Qin Huairu has been collecting his salary for him all along."

"Where would he get money?"

Just then, Qin Huairu walked in from outside.

San Da Ma greeted:

"Bang Geng's mom, your family's Shazhu bought a twelve-inch big TV."

Qin Huairu frowned tightly and said angrily:

"San Da Ma, what are you talking about?"

"What do you mean 'our family's Shazhu'?"

"Honestly, I have nothing to do with him."

San Da Ma: "Ah? You, you didn't say you wanted to marry him?"

Qin Huairu: "Don't spout nonsense, San Da Ma. Even if I wanted to marry him, we're not married yet."

Yan Bu Gui: "Exactly, can't talk nonsense, Qin Huairu isn't young either."

"Don't let her ruin her reputation in her later years."

San Da Ma hastily said: "Yes, yes, yes, it was my nonsense."

"I thought since you collect his salary for him, you'd definitely marry him."

Qin Huairu: "San Da Ma, I collect his salary for him because I'm afraid he'll waste money."

"I want to save it for him, and when he needs it later, I'll naturally give it to him."

Hearing that, Yan Bu Gui couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Qin Huairu frowned and looked at Yan Bu Gui, asking:

"San Da Ye, what's up?"

Yan Bu Gui: "Oh, nothing, I just thought of something funny and couldn't help laughing, it just came to mind, ah."

Qin Huairu: "Oh, I thought you were laughing at me."

San Da Ma: "Bang Geng's mom, you're not being fair."

"Yesterday in the outhouse you told me you weren't considering buying a TV within two years."

Qin Huairu: "Yeah, I had no plan to buy one."

"Maybe Shazhu saved up and bought it himself."

"I bet it was Xiao Dang and Huaihua who persuaded him to buy it."

"Um, San Da Ye, San Da Ma, I'm leaving."

Qin Huairu kept a smile as she walked past them, but her face instantly darkened.

As she walked, she silently thought to herself:

"This Shazhu, hum, actually hid private money behind my back!"

After glancing at her back, Yan Bu Gui whispered to San Da Ma:

"You, why are you being so serious?"

"Qin Huairu isn't a simple woman; we can't afford to provoke her."

San Da Ma: "No, you hear what she means—she doesn't want to marry Shazhu, right?"

If you don't want to marry Shazhu, why are you still taking his salary?

Only a fool would believe she'd guard Shazhu's stuff.

Yan Bu Gui: No need to say that.

After all these years, you still don't understand Qin Huairu?

Shengli got something right.

San Da Ma asked: "What did Shengli say?"

Yan Bu Gui: "Shengli told me something once, he said Qin Huairu treats Shazhu as a long-term meal ticket."

After hearing that, I've been secretly observing.

After all these years, I finally realized Shengli was right.

Qin Huairu is just a selfish person, a very selfish person.

She only thinks about Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua in her heart.

She also has always treated Shazhu as a long-term meal ticket; poor Shazhu, silly as he is, still enjoys it.

They've always regarded Qin Huairu as... as that, Shengli said, she's a goddess.

San Da Ma: "That looks like Shengli's analysis is quite correct."

This Qin Huairu is really too much.

I think she never wanted to marry Shazhu at all.

Yan Bu Gui: "You only just figured it out?"

I figured it out long ago.

But Shazhu isn't exactly a good person either, and we can't be bothered to deal with them.

San Da Ma: "Hmm, everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door; why worry about so much?"

Yan Bu Gui: "So you, don't take Qin Huairu too seriously."

Just let what she says go in one ear and out the other.

San Da Ma: "Yes, yes, I know."

Now about Shazhu.

Hugging the TV, as soon as he returned to Zhongyuan, he started coughing and deliberately making noises.

As a result, Xiao Dang and Huaihua ran out.

When he saw what he was holding, which looked like a TV, Xiao Dang widened his eyes excitedly and asked:

Silly Dad, what, what is this? Is it a TV?

Huaihua also asked somewhat excitedly:

Is it a TV?

Shazhu snorted with a proud look, walking toward his own home.

Seeing him not speak, Xiao Dang frowned, exchanged a glance with Huaihua, and hurriedly followed.

Is it really, Silly Dad? Is it a TV?

Entering Shuzhu Jia, Xiao Dang asked again:

Don't keep us in suspense, okay?

Just come clean with it.

Shazhu put the TV down, then sat on a chair, picked up the enamel water basin, slowly poured himself a cup of water, and took a sip.

Xiao Dang got angry: "Hey, look at my temper!"

Shazhu pursed his lips at the TV and said: "You, isn't it placed there?"

Just look yourself and you'll know.

As the words fell, Huaihua hurried over and opened the box, only to see a TV inside.

She shouted excitedly: "Sis, sis, it's really a TV."

Xiao Dang pointed at Shazhu and walked over.

Shazhu quickly said: "Hey hey hey, be gentle, be gentle, handle with care, ah."

Xiao Dang and Huaihua moved the TV out and placed it on the table.

Xiao Dang looked at the ever-cheerful Shazhu and said:

Hey, Silly Dad, I think this TV shouldn't be placed here.

Shazhu, upon hearing, hurriedly said:

Cut it out, what do you mean it shouldn't be placed here?

If you get your mom to take my TV, I'll be angry with you.

Just then, Qin Huairu walked in with a grim face.

She stopped at the doorway.
