Chapter 220: You want me to marry you? Dream on

Shazhu saw it, hurried over, pulled her inside, and whispered:

"Um, what is it? Xu Damao bought a nine‑inch TV; you already knew that, and you didn't tell me."

"Wouldn't that ruin our prestige?"

"So we bought an even bigger one, twelve inches, larger than Xu Damao's."

Qin Huairu snorted coldly and asked:

"Where did the money for the TV come from?"

Shazhu thought for a moment and said, "Borrowed."

Qin Huairu frowned and asked, "Oh, borrowed, huh?"

Shazhu nodded and said, "Yes, exactly, borrowed."

Qin Huairu sat down and said to Xiao Dang and Huaihua, who were lingering over the TV:

"Xiao Dang, Huaihua, move the TV into the house."

Hearing that.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua excitedly lifted the TV.

Shazhu only now came to his senses, hurriedly ran over while shouting:

"Hey, hey, hey, no, slower, don't—don't—don't move it!"

Then.

He snatched the TV from Xiao Dang and Huaihua's hands, placed it on the table, and said:

"Wha—what, just move it to your house."

"Th—this won't work, this."

"Th—where would this work, this."

"I bought this."

"I haven't even watched it for a day."

Xiao Dang and Huaihua exchanged a glance, saying nothing.

They thought Shazhu's words made sense; this was Shazhu's purchase, and Shazhu hadn't even watched it for a day, yet it was being moved away, which seemed inappropriate.

Qin Huairu furrowed her brows and said irritably:

"Hey, where did your usual skill go? Move!"

Xiao Dang cheerfully said, "Alright, watch closely!"

Saying so, she looked at Shazhu, who clutched the TV, and continued:

"Silly Dad, my mom asked us to move it; please don't blame us."

"Silly Dad, just let go, okay."

Shazhu hurriedly covered his ears with both hands, elbows braced on the TV, shaking his head as he said:

"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen to anything you say."

Xiao Dang: "Silly Dad, don't be like that."

Huaihua: "Yeah, Silly Dad, this is what my mom asked us to move."

Xiao Dang: "How about this, Silly Dad, we'll keep the TV at our place for two fresh days, then move it back for you."

Shazhu shook his head and said, "Cut the act."

"No, no, no—just no."

Xiao Dang patiently said, "Silly Dad, listen while I explain."

"If you give the go‑ahead, we'll move it."

Shazhu thought for a moment, then lowered his hands.

Xiao Dang continued, "You say the TV stays at our place—does my brother feel a little itch inside?"

Shazhu's eyes rolled, and he fell into thought.

Xiao Dang couldn't help but laugh, "Where has he ever watched TV?"

"His heart itches—doesn't that mean he has to come back to our house to watch?"

"When he returns, I'll be ready to take it down for him."

Huaihua chimed in, "Exactly, Silly Dad, I tell you, actually my brother's already taken a liking."

"He says he doesn't resent you at all."

"It's just a knot in his heart he can't untie."

Shazhu nodded.

Huaihua continued, "He sees that you're truly kind to us, right?"

"You yourself can't bear to watch this TV, and as soon as you bought it, you moved it to our house."

Shazhu stood up and said, "What you say makes sense, but why…"

Seeing this, Xiao Dang hurriedly lifted the TV and walked outside.

Shazhu got angry, and just as he tried to snatch it back, Huaihua blocked him.

In the end, the TV was still carried away by Xiao Dang and Huaihua.

This made him quite depressed.

While Qin Huairu grinned widely.

Shazhu furrowed his brows, walked to Qin Huairu's side, and said irritably:

"I said—am I being reasonable or not? I say this, ah."

Qin Huairu laughed, "Who isn't being reasonable?"

"You're still keeping secret money behind my back, even hiding a little treasury!"

Shazhu: "What secret money? This money I really borrowed, I borrowed it from Ma Hua; if you don't believe, ask him."

"You can move the TV away, but you have to give me the TV money."

Qin Huairu: "Why ask Ma Hua? Ma Hua is your disciple, surely you two are of the same mind."

"I'm so stupid, still asking Ma Hua."

Shazhu: "Then just give me the TV money."

Qin Huairu: "I have no money to give."

Shazhu: "Then return the TV to me."

Qin Huairu pretended her face darkened and said: "I'm not the one talking about you, Shazhu, you're already such an old age, why are you arguing with two kids?"

Shazhu, with a gloomy face, said: "Cut the act, you."

He said while pointing at Qin Huairu, in a sour tone:

"This is you being selfish."

"You are imposing an economic blockade on me, you, you are just afraid that I will go find someone else for you."

"If you don't collect my salary for me, Yu Haitang would definitely not have this attitude toward me."

Qin Huairu, with a smug face, said: "Do you understand now?"

"Right, that's exactly what I mean."

"You are mine; don't even think about running anywhere, ah."

Shazhu, more gloomy: "You talk so nicely, then go persuade your son."

"If we settle this, we'll get married right away."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but laugh.

She thought to herself:

"Shazhu, can't you see how you look? With a face like that, which woman would fall for you?"

"Only someone who's blind would like you."

"Still want to marry me? Not even in the next life."

Shazhu furrowed his brows and asked:

"What? Why are you laughing at this?"

Qin Huairu: "I'm laughing at how stupid you are."

"I'm not the one talking about you; a hasty heart can't eat hot tofu."

"We're already of a good age, why are you still as impatient as a child?"

"Didn't Xiao Dang just tell you earlier?"

"Moving the TV is for doing Bang Geng's work."

"As long as Bang Geng talks to you, the two of us will file for a marriage certificate tomorrow."

Qin Huairu said this without any fear.

Because she has already discussed it with Bang Geng.

Bang Geng, in front of her, already gave him a guarantee.

"He will never say a word to Shazhu."

Shazhu thought for a moment and said:

"If it's work, it's work; does it have to involve a TV?"

"I've never heard of that, what is this?"

"A brand‑new TV, bought with borrowed money, and you just move it away—does that look proper?"

Shazhu grew angrier as he thought, and at the end shouted:

"You should at least keep me warm, right?"

"Money, you won't pay the money."

"Hey, I'm not asking you to pay your own money, right?"

"What I'm asking you to pay is my money."

"You took my salary, you won't pay it, okay… I can borrow from others, can I?"

"But it was just bought, never even seen, and you move it away—you, that's just too much!"

Qin Huairu snorted, saying nothing.

Shazhu walked over, picked up the TV box, looked at it, then in anger threw it to the ground, shouting:

"Four hundred plus yuan for a box, I'm so wronged!"

"The money I borrowed, sister."

"To crush Xu Damao's prestige, I borrowed money with a few disciples—was that easy for me?"

"Why can't you have a little pity for me?"
