Chapter 283

After Second Aunt left, Xu Damao let out a long sigh and said:

"I can see it now, a phoenix that's lost its perch is no better than a chicken."

"I've thought it over, and given my current state, it's normal for Yu Haitang to look down on me."

"If Yu Haitang doesn't come back this time, then I won't have any woman interested in me."

"I've decided, I'm not doing this anymore!"

"I won't serve them anymore!"

"I want to do it myself, carve out my own piece of heaven and earth."

"I want to make big money, I want to make all these women who have wronged me regret it."

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and asked:

"You, you, what do you want to do?"

Xu Damao raised his brows, "Go into business."

"Learn from those southerners how to do business."

"I'll start my own company, be my own boss."

Liu Haizhong: "What about the money?"

Xu Damao: "Don't worry, Second Elder, I have the money."

"I came over today just to ask you, are you interested in getting involved?"

Upon hearing that, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but fall into thought.

What Xu Damao said was too tempting for him.

If we could make big money, would we still worry that our sons wouldn't treat us well?

Xu Damao: "With your temperament, you're always living off others, eating whatever they serve."

"Don't you enjoy that?"

Liu Haizhong didn't speak.

The fact is, he is now increasingly tempted by Xu Damao's proposal.

Seeing Liu Haizhong silent, Xu Damao continued: "Well, I'll say another thing you old folks love to say."

"People can't just grow old, sitting and eating, waiting to die."

The next day.

Yan Bu Gui was watering flowers at his doorstep.

Teacher Ran walked in.

"Teacher Yan, you're busy."

Teacher Ran was dressed in fashionable clothes and held a fashionable leather bag.

His whole person exuded an air of nobility.

Yan Bu Gui was instantly stunned.

"You, you are... Teacher Ran?"

Yan Bu Gui couldn't even bring himself to recognize her.

Teacher Ran gave a light smile and said:

"That's right, Teacher Yan, it's me. You don't recognize me?"

Yan Bu Gui exclaimed in surprise: "Really, it's you?"

"I really can't recognize you, it's been over ten years since we last saw each other."

Teacher Ran nodded.

Yan Bu Gui thought for a moment and said:

"Since that windy year, it's been over ten years."

"No, Teacher Ran, where have you been all these years?"

Teacher Ran: "I went to Gangdao."

"I've just returned from Gangdao."

"Um, Teacher Yan, does He Yuzhu still live here?"

Yan Bu Gui nodded and said: "Exactly, he's always lived here; with his situation, where else could he live?"

Teacher Ran: "Then you're busy, I'll go find him to talk about something."

After saying that, Teacher Ran walked toward Zhongyuan.

As soon as she reached Zhongyuan, she saw Shazhu coming out of Qin Huairu's house.

Shazhu also saw her and was momentarily stunned.

"He Yuzhu, hello, hello."

Teacher Ran walked over and said.

"Ran, Teacher Ran?"

Shazhu thought for a moment and exclaimed.

"That's right, He Yuzhu, I didn't expect you to still remember me."

"You, you, are you still doing well?"

Shazhu shook his head and said, "Not at all well."

Just now, he went to Qin Huairu's house and asked her whether it was because Bang Geng didn't take the initiative to talk to him that she wouldn't marry him.

Qin Huairu nodded firmly.

He didn't say anything else, but walked away feeling depressed.

Teacher Ran smiled and asked, "What's wrong? What's not good?"

At that moment, Qin Huairu walked out.

Teacher Ran politely greeted, "Hello, Bang Geng's mother."

Qin Huairu frowned and asked, "Y‑you are Teacher Ran?"

Teacher Ran nodded.

Shazhu: "Teacher Ran, you've become beautiful, and also younger."

Saying that, Shazhu glanced at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu grew even more depressed.

That's right.

She also noticed it; Teacher Ran looks younger and more beautiful.

And also exudes an extra air of nobility.

Looks like she's become prosperous.

Teacher Ran: "Thank you, He Yuzhu, are you married?"

When Shazhu heard that, his smiling face instantly vanished; he glanced at Qin Huairu, then turned to Teacher Ran, shook his head, and said:

"No."

Then.

His eyes flicked, he looked at Qin Huairu again, then asked Teacher Ran:

"If back then I kept chasing you without letting go, do you think we could have been possible?"

Teacher Ran smiled and said, "He Yuzhu, to be honest, these past years I've been in Gangdao......"

Upon hearing this, Shazhu hurriedly asked:

"You've been in Gangdao all these years?"

Teacher Ran nodded and said, "Hmm, it's been over ten years; the year the wind rose, I went to Gangdao."

"After I arrived in Gangdao, I got married, and later, well, got divorced."

"This time returning, I want to invest in a restaurant, so I came to find you."

"Because I want to hire you as Head Chef, to be in charge of the entire back kitchen."

"I wonder if you're willing?"

Shazhu exclaimed excitedly, "Of course I'm willing, of course I am."

"Wait, you said you're single now?"

Teacher Ran nodded.

Shazhu: "I'm single too."

"Maybe if we interact more, we could end up together."

Shazhu said that deliberately to irritate Qin Huairu.

Who made Qin Huairu, after all these years, stubbornly refuse to marry him?

Sure enough.

Qin Huairu was angered.

At the same time, she felt a deep sense of crisis.

She now can't compare with Teacher Ran.

That person now has nobility, is beautiful, and is much younger than her.

The important thing is that person also has money.

Teacher Ran smiled and said, "To be frank, I came back this time also to find an honest person to live a good life with."

Shazhu exclaimed, "Me? I'm the honest person."

Teacher Ran smiled without replying.

Shazhu: "Teacher Ran, come, come, come, would you like to sit at my place for a while?"

Teacher Ran nodded.

Then.

Amid Qin Huairu's frustration, Teacher Ran followed behind Shazhu toward Shuzhu Jia.

Watching their backs, Qin Huairu stamped her foot in anger.

When she turned around, Xiao Dang and Huaihua were standing at the doorway.

She walked into the house with a dark face.

Xiao Dang glanced at Huaihua and also went inside.

"Mom, I heard everything Teacher Ran said just now."

"I think, you really can't compare with her now."

Qin Huairu shouted angrily, "What do you mean I can't compare with her?"

Xiao Dang: "No, can you not be angry?"

"Now the problem arises: Teacher Ran must have taken a liking to Sha Shu."

"This time returning, she openly says it's to invest in a restaurant, letting Sha Shu be the chef."

"But I think it's not that simple."

"So we need to quickly think of a solution."

Qin Huairu frowned and asked, "Do you have any good plan?"

Xiao Dang: "The only good plan is to agree with Sha Shu and marry him."

Qin Huairu heard it and fell into deep thought.

She had just considered this problem.

But she doesn't like Shazhu!

But if Shazhu ends up with Teacher Ran, he probably won't help their family any more.

What's important is that Shazhu may have to reclaim the Deaf Old Lady's house.

And Shazhu's house...

She's been thinking about it all along.
