Chapter 250: Too pathetic!

After Lin Shengli left with his disciple, Shazhu rushed over, wanting to help Bang Geng up.

Who would have thought Bang Geng didn't appreciate it, using all his strength to shove Shazhu to the ground.

Then.

In Shazhu's anger, he struggled to stand up and limped away.

He quit that street-sweeping job!

He also knew that the good job of driving for the department leader fell through.

He heard everything Lin Shengli said.

The reason he shoved Shazhu was that he hated how Shazhu wouldn't even dare to fart in front of Lin Shengli.

Moreover, Lin Shengli could still stop the job Shazhu had found.

What does that show?

It shows Shazhu is a useless person.

Exactly.

At this moment, that's exactly what Bang Geng thought.

Taking a deep breath, Shazhu suppressed his anger and caught up to Bang Geng, saying:

"Bang Geng, don't listen to Shengli's nonsense."

"The leader I found has nothing to do with Shengli at all."

Hearing that, Bang Geng hurriedly stopped his steps, looking at Shazhu with hopeful eyes.

Shazhu then said: "Bang Geng, you know this is a dream job, right?"

"Not bad, we have something to talk about."

"Let's not talk about what just happened first."

"You were in the wrong first; as Eldest Uncle's nephew, Lin Shengli giving you a lesson is appropriate."

"Don't hold a grudge either."

"Let's just consider this matter over."

Hearing this, Bang Geng couldn't take it anymore, turned and left.

If Qin Huairu hadn't repeatedly warned him never to speak to Shazhu, he really wanted to give Shazhu a scolding to vent his hatred.

Shazhu blinked, then while catching up, he said:

"I know you're annoyed with me, but I'm not annoyed with you."

"That's what I truly feel."

"You say you little rascal, from childhood you've climbed roofs, stolen things, fought—what isn't there to be annoyed about?"

"But you kid, you're really good, truly good."

"You're not a bad person, why say that?"

"You've been stealing since you were little, not for yourself."

"You did it for your two sisters, Xiao Dang and Huaihua."

"You know to let them eat first."

"That's pretty good."

"I know, you just don't want me to marry your mom, right?"

"You can't figure it out, right?"

"Not being able to figure it out is exactly right."

"There's nothing to figure out."

"If it were me, I couldn't figure it out either."

"You're a big grown man, right?"

"Who would want their mom to find a stepfather for them?"

Hearing this, Bang Geng really wanted to shout:

"I'm willing."

"I don't want to keep holding it in anymore; I'll go crazy."

"But Shazhu, my mom doesn't want to marry you."

"Please, wake up soon, find another woman to marry, end my mom's longing, and I won't have to keep holding it in either."

Shazhu, of course, didn't know what he was thinking, and continued on his own:

"Right?"

"Nowhere near satisfying."

"You say when my dad found me a stepmother back then, I couldn't figure it out either."

"We two haven't had any contact for all these years, right?"

"But this matter still has to be like when we were kids."

"We can't just think of ourselves, can't just hold a grudge; there are others here too."

"We need to think about others too."

"Your mom, what a wonderful person."

"One person endured hardship to raise you three siblings; was it easy for her?"

"Now it's good; you've finally all grown up, your mom should enjoy her blessings."

"I hope you think it over well; I'm waiting for your reply."

Screw that!

Bang Geng quickened his pace.

Shazhu frowned, stopped, looked at Bang Geng's back, let out a long sigh, and shook his head.

Actually, he was also coaxing Bang Geng just now.

He thought if he coaxed Bang Geng into saying a few words, then he could marry Qin Huairu.

Once married, what if he couldn't fulfill what he promised Bang Geng?

Shazhu had long been dissatisfied with Bang Geng.

In fact, he also understood that if Lin Shengli got involved, this driving job was already as good as dead, useless.

Who would have thought Bang Geng wouldn't fall for it? He said so much, but Bang Geng wouldn't utter a single word.

How could he know that Qin Huairu had no intention of marrying him at all?

The reason he used Bang Geng as a shield was merely a stopgap measure.

Once Bang Geng couldn't hold out and proactively spoke to Shazhu, Qin Huairu could still have other options.

Anyway, she would never marry Shazhu in this lifetime.

Even if Lin Shengli agreed, she still wouldn't.

Because she felt they had endured this long, endured so many years.

Her reputation had already been established.

She would not do anything that would ruin her later years.

Of course.

The main reason is still that Shazhu is ugly; she has no interest.

Bang Geng returned home; seeing his bruised and swollen face, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi felt heartbroken beyond words.

In their eyes, Bang Geng was their dearest treasure.

They all said they wanted to settle the score with that person.

But when she heard it was Lin Shengli, Qin Huairu went limp.

She collapsed into a chair and wept alone.

Jia Zhangshi stared, pointed outside, and shouted:

"Yi Zhonghai, you old bastard..."

Hearing this, Xiao Dang quickly hugged her, covered her mouth with his hand, and said:

"Grandma, stop cursing; if Eldest Uncle finds out, this will never end."

Qin Huairu cried, "Yeah, Mom, let's just forget it, ah."

"Bang Geng was also at fault to begin with."

Jia Zhangshi shoved Xiao Dang away, indignant, and said:

"This old bastard, didn't you say you wouldn't tell Lin Shengli?"

"Going back on his word—hmph, he'll surely get his comeuppance."

Qin Huairu: "I don't think this was necessarily said by Eldest Uncle."

"It's very likely Xu Damao said it."

Jia Zhangshi: "Then I'll go settle the score with Xu Damao."

Qin Huairu: "Alright, it might not be Xu Damao; maybe it's Liu Guangfu."

"Let's just drop it; anyway, Bang Geng was at fault first."

"Bang Geng, let's just drop it, ah."

"Don't think about revenge; we can't afford to provoke Lin Shengli."

Bang Geng: "Considering Shazhu helped me find a good job, I don't want to pursue this either."

Upon hearing this, the whole family instantly became excited.

Huaihua asked: "Brother, what good job did Sha Shu help you find?"

Bang Geng said proudly: "Driving for the department leader."

Qin Huairu exclaimed: "Really?"

After a moment's thought, her face darkened, and she asked:

"Did you talk to Shazhu?"

Bang Geng shook his head and said:

"No, Shazhu said a lot to me, but I didn't say a word."

"But I remembered everything he said."

"He told me to first learn to drive, then drive for the department leader."

"But I'm still hesitating now."

"I don't want to owe Shazhu a favor."

"He's just hesitating for show; he's saying this just so people will think highly of him and feel he's ambitious."

"In fact, he's wanted this job all along."

Xiao Dang: "No, my silly older brother, you're truly stupid."

"My Sha Shu is just pretending to be stupid."

"You say you have such a good job, yet you're still hesitating here?"

"You really are stupid."
