Chapter 265: You're saying Lin Shengli is Yu Li's backer?

Hearing Yan Bu Gui's words, Yu Li quickly put on a smile and said, "Dad, you don't understand—just stay out of it."

Yan Bu Gui: "Well, then why don't you arrange a job for Dad too?"

Yan Jiecheng furrowed his brows and said, "What are you saying?"

"We're running a small-scale business."

Yu Li: "Exactly."

Yan Jiecheng: "Let's go, let's go."

As Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li left, Yan Bu Gui became depressed.

He pointed at their retreating figures and shouted, "No, why do I have no money when I come here?"

San Da Ma let out a long sigh and said, "Ah, this eldest son is just a white-eyed wolf."

Yan Bu Gui: "That's right—this month's 2,500 yuan equals my annual salary."

"Well, if that's not possible, at least give me 250 yuan."

Saying this, he shook his head and then said:

"This won't do—this amount isn't right."

"No, eldest son, let's discuss this properly."

Shouting, Yan Bu Gui walked toward Yan Jiecheng's home.

Qin Huairu's home.

Qin Huairu's family, along with the matchmaker and the girl she brought, chatted intermittently.

Bang Geng sat farther away from that girl.

The two didn't really communicate.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu's family became somewhat displeased.

Coming to someone's house for a blind date, how can you not be a bit more proactive?

"Oh, Aunt Wang has arrived."

Just then, Shazhu walked in.

"Hey hey, Shazhu, I brought the girl to meet Bang Geng."

"All right, all right, Bang Geng—sit a bit closer—why are you sitting so far from the girl?"

"You're a boy; you should be more proactive."

Bang Geng gave a cold snort and said nothing.

Shazhu felt bored, he smiled to hide his embarrassment, then sat opposite Qin Huairu and said with an air of proud aloofness:

"I've found a pretty good job today."

Qin Huairu asked: "What job? How much a month?"

Shazhu raised his head, looking proud, and said:

"Two thousand."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shazhu with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Only Qin Huairu furrowed her brows, somewhat disbelieving, and asked:

"Two thousand yuan a month? You didn't get it wrong?"

Shazhu shook his head and said, "No mistake—it's two thousand yuan a month."

"And he works just at night."

"You didn't expect that, did you?"

"Originally it was 2,500 yuan a month."

"But."

Shazhu worried that Qin Huairu would take it all.

So he understated it by five hundred.

Later, that five hundred is to be returned to the apprentices.

He now owes the apprentices over two thousand yuan in total.

Xiao Dang happily said, "Shazhu Dad, you're really amazing!"

"Earning that much in a month."

Qin Huairu: "Hey hey hey, Xiao Dang, don't shout randomly—Grandma Wang is here."

"This is Shazhu's uncle; why call him 'Shazhu Dad'?"

"People who don't know might think something's going on between me and Shazhu, right?"

Hearing this, Shazhu's face immediately darkened.

Huaihua quickly interjected, "Shazhu's uncle, who's giving you such a high wage?"

"Who are you working for?"

"You're really impressive; tell us so we can all be happy too."

Shazhu instantly became interested: "Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, that couple."

"Their restaurant business must be doing well; they must have made a lot of money—otherwise they couldn't pay me such a high wage."

Qin Huairu: "I don't believe it; Yan Jiecheng is so stingy—how could he give you such a wage?"

"Everyone in their family is stingier than the next."

"And their daughter-in-law Yu Li is the stingiest of all."

"Could she give you such a wage?"

"Shazhu, you're just trying to appease us."

Shazhu: "Really, we already settled that just now."

Qin Huairu: "So what then?"

"What if they don't follow through when the time comes?"

"Who are you going to ask for it?"

Shazhu thought for a moment, then said:

"She probably wouldn't dare, she wouldn't dare, would she?"

"Doesn't she know who I am?"

Jia Zhangshi: "What does she have to be afraid of?"

"Lin Shengli is her backer, you don't know that?"

Matchmaker Wang exclaimed: "Really? Lin Shengli is Yu Li's backer? Then their relationship must not be simple, right?"

Qin Huairu: "No, my mom wouldn't know that, she's just talking nonsense."

Having said that, Qin Huairu glared at Jia Zhangshi, then continued:

"Mom, don't talk nonsense."

"Aunt Wang and the others are still here."

"This is something without any evidence."

Jia Zhangshi suddenly slapped herself and said:

"Yes, yes, yes, I was talking nonsense."

"I was just spouting nonsense, Aunt Wang, don't take it to heart."

Jia Zhangshi also momentarily forgot that Matchmaker Wang was present.

Matchmaker Wang is such a big-mouthed person.

If this gets back to Lin Shengli's ears, he will definitely not let her off.

Matchmaker Wang chuckled and said: "It's fine, Bang Geng's grandma, I won't go spreading it."

Qin Huairu: "Aunt Wang, my mother-in-law misspoke, just pretend you didn't hear it, okay?"

Matchmaker Wang nodded and said: "Alright, I got it."

Shazhu: "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this."

Xiao Dang: "Exactly, my grandma misspoke."

"By the way, Sha Shu, if you agreed to that, then you must be working awfully hard."

Shazhu: "No worries, a man's main job is to make money."

"Otherwise, what would happen to the wife and kids?"

"If you want the family to live well, you must work hard and not fear hardship."

Matchmaker Wang scoffed: "Shazhu, how can you say that with a straight face?"

"You're the one who eats his fill while the whole family stays fed."

Shazhu said with a sullen face: "Aunt Wang, I, I'm still young, I'm currently looking for a partner."

Matchmaker Wang: "You're still young? You're over forty, and you call that young?"

Shazhu, even more sullen: "Why keep hitting people like that?"

"No matter my age, as long as I'm not married, I'm young."

"Well, if you have someone to introduce, introduce one to me."

Hearing that, Qin Huairu couldn't help but glare at Shazhu.

However, considering Matchmaker Wang was present, she also chose to stay silent.

Matchmaker Wang thought for a moment and said: "Actually, I've thought of someone."

"It's that person next to the little liquor store, uh, that's right, Widow Sun."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu instantly put on a look of disdain and said: "That Widow Sun?"

"With five kids in tow?"

"The one who looks like Zhu Bajie's second aunt?"

Matchmaker Wang: "Yes, yes, yes, actually she's still young, about thirty or so."

Shazhu waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, how could I possibly marry a woman like that?"

"Sleeping with her, I'd have nightmares in the middle of the night."

"Think about it again, and keep looking for me, okay?"

Qin Huairu said irritably: "What are you thinking about? Right now, Aunt Wang is here to find a match for Bang Geng."

"Can't you tell what's primary and what's secondary?"

"Let's settle the kids' matter first, then we can talk, okay?"

Shazhu said with a sullen face: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bang Geng's lifelong affair is the important thing, huh."

"This isn't a big deal for me, not a big deal at all."
