Chapter 266: Listening to it is harder than being scolded

Hearing Shazhu's words, Qin Huairu became unhappy: "Shazhu, you have hidden meaning in what you say."

Shazhu: "No, I wouldn't dare."

Xiao Dang: "All right, all right, Sha Shu, I'm asking you, if you do this job again..."

"Then in the evening you wouldn't get off work until ninety o'clock, would you?"

Shazhu: "About right."

Xiao Dang: "That's too hard; in the morning you'd have to get up early to go to the factory."

Going on like this, one or two days is fine, but long-term, can your body take it?

Huaihua: "Right, that can't go on long-term."

Shazhu: "No problem, no problem, I said I'm still young."

Qin Huairu: "Actually, your Sha Shu has long treated you all as his own children."

Who is he working so hard for?

Isn't it for you all to get married?

Upon hearing this, Wang Meipo's brows tightened involuntarily.

Shazhu grinned and said: "That's also true."

I work hard, but I still want you all to live well.

Your mother is right; I've long treated you all as my own children.

Huaihua happily said: "I also feel sorry for my Sha Shu."

Xiao Dang laughed: "Hey, you all feel sorry for him, but who feels sorry for me?"

Hey, Sha Shu, since you treat us as your own children...

Could you save up some dowry for me?

Shazhu nodded and said: "No problem, miss, you're the most important, ah."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu laughed proudly.

Huaihua: "Hey hey hey, Sha Shu, what about my dowry?"

Shazhu: "Haha, you're also the most important."

Don't worry, even if your mother doesn't marry me, Sha Shu will still provide your dowries.

Wang Meipo: "Shazhu, you're really a great person."

You say you're like this, and Qin Huairu is still single; why don't the two of you just be together?

Qin Huairu: "No way, Aunt Wang, our horoscopes haven't even matched a stroke."

Some things shouldn't be spoken nonsense.

Let's talk about Bang Geng's affair.

Jia Zhangshi: "Let's talk after eating, let's talk after eating."

Qin Huairu: "Right, right, right, Shazhu, go buy vegetables quickly."

Shazhu: "Okay, wait, I'll be back soon."

Having said that, he stood up and walked out.

Wang Meipo watched his back, shook her head silently, and thought to herself:

This Shazhu is surely going to be drained by Qin Huairu for life.

With you like this, you still want me to find you a match?

After the meal, Wang Meipo took that girl and left.

Throughout the meal, Bang Geng didn't initiate any contact with that girl.

And that girl had already decided; she couldn't continue seeing Bang Geng.

Actually, Qin Huairu also saw that.

That girl wasn't enthusiastic, and Bang Geng didn't take the initiative.

She wasn't stupid either; she early realized this marriage was impossible.

So later, she didn't bother much with that girl.

The next morning.

Liu Haizhong walked out of the courtyard holding a washbasin.

When he saw the door of the temporary building open, he went over to take a look.

It was completely empty.

The whole household had been emptied out.

It was still there yesterday before bed, but after waking up, nothing remained.

He frowned, hurried to another temporary building, but it was also completely empty, nothing left.

He stared, then rushed home while shouting:

"Child's mother, child's mother, come out, hurry out!"

Hearing the shout, Second Aunt hurriedly opened the door and came out.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Haizhong pointed at the temporary building and said:

"Go look, see for yourself."

"This, this is what your trusted son did."

Second Aunt ran over to look, but the room had nothing.

She ran to another room, but still nothing.

She couldn't bear this blow.

Just then, she suddenly remembered her home's gas stove.

She hurried to the small room and saw that there was still nothing inside.

"I, where did my gas stove go?"

Second Aunt burst into tears, shouting, "I, my gas stove..."

She didn't go on.

Because she suddenly felt dizzy, her legs went weak, and she was about to collapse to the ground.

Fortunately, Liu Haizhong had been by her side; seeing this, he hurried to support her and shouted:

"Come quickly, help!"

"Come quickly."

More than half an hour later.

The ambulance took Second Aunt away.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Xu Damao, nodded, and said:

"Xu Damao, good, not bad."

"He really handled a personnel matter."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately became unhappy:

"No, Eldest Uncle, I have great respect for you."

"I also respect Shengli."

"Because of Shengli, I respect you even more."

"But, what do you mean by saying this?"

Yi Zhonghai furrowed his brows and said, "Xu Damao, what are you trying to do?"

Xu Damao became even more unhappy: "Eldest Uncle, if you say that, I won't be happy."

"Only you know how to handle personnel matters, right?"

Qin Huairu: "No, Xu Damao, how can you not tell good from bad?"

"This is Eldest Uncle praising you, isn't it?"

"If you hadn't called, could the vehicle have arrived so promptly?"

Xu Damao widened his eyes, waved his hand at Qin Huairu, and said irritably:

"I really didn't catch that, ah."

"That sounds worse than a scolding."

"Although I respect him, I also respect Shengli."

"But he can't treat me like this, right?"

"Alright, you don't have to play the good person here."

"As for you, I know better than anyone."

Having said that, with Qin Huairu wearing a sullen expression, Xu Damao walked into the siheyuan.

Yan Bu Gui let out a long sigh and said:

"Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are really outrageous."

"Hey, I'm telling you, Lao Yi, uh, the prestige of us three elders in this siheyuan really needs to be reestablished."

Yi Zhonghai gave a muffled hum and said nothing.

Yan Bu Gui furrowed his brows and said irritably:

"No, I'm telling you, Lao Yi, how has your will weakened?"

"You have such an excellent nephew as Lin Shengli."

"Not only in this siheyuan, even in this hutong and on Red Star Street, you have great prestige."

"But why isn't Xu Damao afraid of you?"

"That's because the prestige of us elders has long been gone."

"If it were still like before, would Xu Damao dare to say that to you just now?"

Qin Huairu said with an indignant face:

"Eldest Uncle, I think what the Third Elder said makes sense."

"If it were up to me, you'd have to tell Shengli to have Shengli deal with Xu Damao."

"Deal with him a bit, and he'll fear you."

Yi Zhonghai let out a light sigh and said:

"Forget it; at our age, it's better to have less trouble than more—I also don't want to cause Shengli any trouble."

"He's busy with his work."
