Chapter 256: Getting More and More Outrageous!

Qin Huairu followed Shazhu to the leader's house that Shazhu mentioned, only to discover she had brought nothing.

Shazhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Shall we buy something for the leader?"

Qin Huairu: "Buy it."

Shazhu: "But I left in a hurry and didn't bring any money."

Qin Huairu frowned and said, "I didn't bring any either."

Shazhu: "No, you pay the money first, and I'll repay you when we get back. Is that okay?"

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you must definitely pay me back."

Shazhu grew more depressed: "Qin Huairu, I've realized something about you."

"How should I call you properly?"

"My salary is collected by you, I let you spend money to buy something for the leader, yet you say it's a loan to me?"

Qin Huairu: "When did I ever say I lent it to you?"

"It was you who said that, okay?"

"Bang Geng has grown up now; someone introduced a partner to him, and they'll come this afternoon."

"I have to get ready then, don't I?"

"Preparation doesn't cost money?"

"That's you—one person eats his fill, the whole family isn't hungry, and you don't consider all that."

Shazhu: "Qin Huairu, can you be a bit reasonable?"

"This money is mine, the salary is mine, you collected it for me."

"Now buying something for the leader is also for your precious son's job."

"You put up the money to buy things, and you still want me to repay? Can you be reasonable?"

Qin Huairu pursed her lips and said irritably:

"It was you who said that, okay?"

"Shazhu, are you not a man anymore?"

"You just finished speaking, and now you refuse to take responsibility."

"No wonder you've been single all these years."

"If I had known early on that you were like this, I wouldn't have tangled with you for so many years."

Shazhu, upon hearing that, instantly became incensed.

However, considering they were in front of the leader's house, he still spoke patiently:

"Qin Huairu, you're being far from reasonable!"

Qin Huairu snorted coldly and said:

"I won't be reasonable."

"Hmph, I still have to tell you that you don't think of others."

"I've already told you, Bang Geng is looking for a partner, and the one introduced today is coming."

"There are plenty of places that need money."

"If you care about me, care about Bang Geng, you shouldn't be thinking about that little money of mine."

Shazhu is about to go crazy!

Qin Huairu is truly getting more and more outrageous!

He forced his inner fury to the back of his mind and said:

"Qin Huairu, first of all, you need to be clear: I'm not the one thinking about your money."

"It's you who are thinking about my money."

"This year, you collected all my salary."

"How much you collected, I'll ask you."

Qin Huairu gave Shazhu a blank stare and said irritably:

"Then consider it as me borrowing from you, okay?"

"When Bang Geng finds a job, I'll repay you."

"So, you should quickly ask the leader to find Bang Geng a good job."

"Otherwise, we won't have the ability to repay that money of yours."

Shazhu: "No, you mean that if the leader doesn't agree, the salary you collected for me won't be given to me, right?"

Qin Huairu: "No, there's no money."

Shazhu: "What about the salary you collected for me? Didn't you say you saved it?"

Qin Huairu: "That's reserved for Bang Geng to use for his marriage, can't be touched."

Shazhu: "Then how can I get married?"

Take it easy, you should first find a suitable partner before we talk about it.

Shazhu: "Qin Huairu, don't think that just because I'm away from you I can't find a woman."

Qin Huairu: "Then go find one."

"With your qualifications, who else could you find?"

"Talking about Yu Haitang liking you, I scoff; Yu Haitang doesn't even look at you at all."

Shazhu suddenly felt a wave of melancholy surge in his heart.

He truly was blinded, having set his sights on Qin Huairu.

But, just as Qin Huairu said, now he really can't find a partner.

Seeing Shazhu silent, Qin Huairu continued:

"Alright, stop saying so much, hurry up and go beg the leader."

"As long as you can get the leader to keep Bang Geng's job, our marriage can be discussed."

Hearing that, Shazhu instantly perked up.

"Really?"

Qin Huairu really wanted to laugh out loud.

This Shazhu, that's all he is.

He can't escape her palm.

"Really, you think—if you can secure this good job for Bang Geng, Bang Geng will surely be grateful to you."

"By then he'll surely initiate talking to you."

"I've said it before: as soon as Bang Geng initiates talking to you, we'll go get the marriage certificate right away."

Shazhu nodded and said, "Fine, I'll trust you once more."

"Give me the money, I'll go buy some fruit first."

Qin Huairu pulled out money from her pants pocket and handed Shazhu ten yuan.

As Shazhu was about to reach out to take it, Qin Huairu pulled her hand back and said:

"Let's get this straight first—this is you borrowing from me, and you must pay me back right away when you return."

Shazhu: "No, Qin Huairu, who am I working for right now?"

"Besides, you've been collecting my salary for me all this time."

"Why are you being so nitpicky?"

Qin Huairu: "I don't care; anyway, I said this money must not be touched—it's to be saved for Bang Geng to marry a wife."

Shazhu said irritably: "That also depends on someone taking a liking to your precious son first."

Qin Huairu got annoyed: "What do you mean?"

"Do you think nobody would take a liking to Bang Geng?"

Shazhu: "Hard to say."

"He's just a white-eyed wolf—whoever takes a liking to him will be unlucky."

"Of course."

Shazhu didn't actually say that last sentence.

He wanted to say it but didn't dare.

If he had said it, things with Qin Huairu might have completely fallen through.

Even if it fell through, it wouldn't matter—he had already seen Qin Huairu's true nature.

But.

He wasn't willing to accept it.

He had put in too much, too much effort into Qin Huairu's family.

If he couldn't break through the friendship barrier with Qin Huairu, he would be very unwilling.

Qin Huairu snorted and said: "You're just worried about yourself."

This made Shazhu annoyed: "What do you mean?"

"What am I worried about?"

"You said you wanted to marry me, didn't you?"

"Then why would I still need to worry?"

Qin Huairu: "When did I say I'd marry you?"

Shazhu: "Before, you just said it again."

Qin Huairu: "That was conditional—if you can get Bang Geng to initiate talking to you, I'll definitely marry you."

Shazhu: "You're just using your son as a shield, huh."

Qin Huairu: "Alright, stop with all the nonsense."

"Just tell me, I gave you ten yuan to buy fruit—are you going to pay it back or not?"

Shazhu: "I'll pay it back, okay? I'll pay it back when I get home, okay?"

Qin Huairu: "That's about right."

After saying that, Qin Huairu handed the ten yuan in her hand to Shazhu.

Shazhu took it and said: "Qin Huairu, I've thought it over—starting next month I'll collect my own salary."

"I still owe my apprentice quite a bit of money."

"I can't keep being in debt."

Qin Huairu got unhappy: "No way."

Shazhu: "What right do you have? This is my salary, earned through my hard work."

"Why should I hand it over to you?"

Qin Huairu: "No going back on it."

"You were willing to let me collect it at first, so you should keep letting me do so."
