Chapter 273: Even good words turn sour when they come from his mouth

Xiao Dang held chopsticks, pointed at Liu Haizhong, and said:

"Second Elder Grandpa, I'll tell you a particularly profound saying."

"My mother told me this."

"You must not tell anyone."

Liu Haizhong furrowed his brows, pointed at everyone, and asked:

"Then, wouldn't they all know already?"

Xiao Dang: "They already knew."

Liu Haizhong: "Then, go ahead and say it."

Xiao Dang: "This saying is......"

Huaihua held chopsticks, pointing at everyone while taking over the conversation:

"If you think my uncle Sha Shu is stupid, then you're even stupider than him."

Everyone laughed upon hearing that.

Only Yi Zhonghai lightly shook his head.

Xiao Dang pointed at people with chopsticks, and Huaihua did the same—this shows the family education is really bad.

Lin Shengli had previously mentioned this to him, saying Qin Huairu simply doesn't know how to educate children.

Yi Zhonghai initially didn't quite believe it.

In fact, he was also lazy to deal with Shazhu and Qin Huairu and others because he had Lin Shengli to support him in his old age.

He actually thought Qin Huairu's several children were not bad.

Now thinking back, he admires Lin Shengli even more.

At the same time, he also felt Lin Shengli made sense.

Yi Dama shared the same view.

Yi Dama actually strongly objected to mingling with Qin Huairu and her group when Lin Shengli and Zheng Juan's family were not around.

But Yi Zhonghai said more people meant more liveliness, so she didn't say anything further.

Xiao Dang pointed his chopsticks at Huaihua and said angrily:

"Just because you're quick-tongued, can't you let me be happy once?"

Liu Haizhong raised his hand, pointed at Huaihua, and said:

"Profound, indeed too profound."

Shazhu said proudly:

"I'm just the kind of person who likes to hear praise."

"You say, when has Second Elder ever praised me?"

"He's never praised me, see?"

Liu Haizhong chuckled and said:

"Alright, alright, I'll praise you every day from now on, okay?"

Shazhu grinned and said:

"No problem."

"But saying it now would be hypocritical."

Having said that, he reached out and patted Liu Haizhong's shoulder, then continued:

"Hey, I'm nothing but truthful."

Liu Haizhong nodded and said:

"Yes, yes, I've long experienced that."

Suddenly.

Shazhu raised his wine cup, tilted his neck back, drained it in one gulp, then looked at the silently silent Bang Geng and asked:

"Bang Geng, is this dish tasty?"

Bang Geng had been happily eating meat.

Upon hearing that, he stopped chewing, instinctively looking toward Qin Huairu.

Upon seeing Qin Huairu's grim face, he raised his wine cup, took a sip, then ate meat.

Shazhu asked gloomily:

"No, Bang Geng, Uncle Sha Shu is asking you."

Liu Haizhong pointed at Bang Geng and said:

"It's Bang Geng—you used to be such an active child; why are you so quiet now?"

"Like a mute gourd."

Bang Geng looked at Liu Haizhong and said:

"Second Elder Grandpa, if I were like you—doing nothing yet still getting a salary—I'd laugh and talk with you every day."

Liu Haizhong: "Then, go find it."

Bang Geng didn't speak again.

Shazhu looked at Liu Haizhong, speaking in a reproachful tone:

"No, Second Elder, I'm talking to Bang Geng, I'm asking him."

"What are you interrupting for?"

Liu Haizhong stared, then asked:

"What did you ask Bang Geng?"

Second Aunt: "Shazhu asks Bang Geng whether this dish is good to eat?"

Liu Haizhong: "Yes yes yes, Bang Geng, is this dish good?"

Bang Geng: "Not bad."

Shazhu: "No no, it's all messed up, I was the one asking Bang Geng, Bang Geng you need to look at me and answer."

Bang Geng let out a nasal sound and said nothing.

Shazhu grew even more gloomy.

He glanced at Qin Huairu and then asked directly:

"Qin Huairu, just say it, give me a definite answer in front of everyone."

"Will you marry me or not?"

As soon as he said that.

The air instantly fell into silence.

Everyone was looking at me, I was looking at you, and finally everyone's gaze turned to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu furrowed her brows and said:

"No need to look at me, I've already agreed with Shazhu."

"Speaking of which, Shazhu truly has nothing to complain about regarding me or our family."

"But, one shouldn't be too selfish, right?"

"Wait until Shazhu does it, then I'll consider."

Jia Zhangshi: "Yes yes yes, they have an agreement."

"Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this."

Shazhu pursed his lips, took a sip of wine, looked at Second Aunt, and asked:

"Second Aunt, your cerebral hemorrhage aftereffects—this, this half side, it's not working well, right?"

Upon hearing that, Liu Haizhong's smile instantly froze.

Second Aunt stared, nodded, and said:

"Yes yes yes."

Qin Huairu slapped Shazhu and scolded:

"No, why does everything you say come out tasting weird?"

Liu Haizhong struggled to squeeze out a smile, looked at Qin Huairu, pointed at Shazhu, and said:

"It's okay, okay, let him speak, let him speak."

Shazhu looked at Second Aunt and said:

"This needs exercise."

Second Aunt nodded and said:

"Yes yes yes, the doctor said it's called rehabilitation."

Shazhu nodded and said:

"Whether you call it rehabilitation or exercise, it doesn't matter."

"It needs a place, Second Aunt."

"Look at this Zhongyuan, these makeshift constructions—you should tear them down and free up the space."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong's face darkened and he lowered his head.

Shazhu outright ignored it and continued speaking on his own:

"You'd be better off being more relaxed and spacious."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Huairu slapped his thigh.

Shazhu looked at Qin Huairu and said:

"You hit me, but I still have to say it."

Having said that, Shazhu looked at Second Aunt and continued:

"Don't think for others, Second Aunt."

"Don't think about the children anymore."

"The children have their own fortunes, right?"

"Think for yourself, right?"

"Furthermore, don't dislike hearing what I say."

"Just your three kids."

Speaking, he raised his hand, waved it, and continued:

"You can't even rely on a single one of them."

"Between you two, who do you like the most?"

"The eldest son?"

"I think he does the worst."

"What did he say when he left, do you know?"

Liu Haizhong furrowed his brows, looked at Shazhu, and asked in a low voice:

"How did he say it?"

Shazhu: "He said yeah, parents unkind, children unfilial."

"Ah, I just asked him, I said eldest son, you can't say that."

"Why?"

"The second and third say it's fine, but they keep getting beaten, you know."

"Right?"

"I told you your father and mother kept you in a honey jar; how could you say that?"

"Can you guess how he answered?"

Liu Haizhong looked at Shazhu, and seeing that he didn't continue, he couldn't help but ask:

"How did he answer?"

Shazhu: "He said, I can't let my son grow up and see his grandfather roaming the world beating people."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong, furious, grabbed Shazhu's wine cup and was about to smash it on the floor.
