Chapter 321: with translation of chapter title

Hearing Shazhu's words, Xiao Dang smiled and said, "This, you're blaming my mother."

"This, this is what I called for, it has nothing to do with my mother."

Hearing this, Shazhu was dumbfounded.

He looked at Xiao Dang with a sullen face and said unhappily:

"No, Xiao Dang, what are you scheming?"

"I even considered you as my own daughter."

Seeing Shazhu angry, Xiao Dang hurriedly said:

"No, Sha Shu, Sha Shu, listen to me."

"As for your matter with my mother, we shouldn't interfere, right?"

"But since you've spoken up today."

"Let me tell you."

"I have my principles in life."

Shazhu frowned and asked, "What principles do you have?"

Xiao Dang: "If you refuse to marry my mother, I and Huaihua will never speak to you again."

Shazhu then became sullen.

But he really worried that Xiao Dang and Huaihua would never speak to him again.

Bang Geng is now unreliable.

He still hopes to rely on Xiao Dang and Huaihua for support in his old age.

Sigh, if only he could marry Teacher Ran.

Even if Teacher Ran cannot bear him a son in the future, Teacher Ran already has a son.

He will surely support him in his old age.

Looks like this is the Jia Family's seed, all the same.

No matter how good you are to them, they only look out for themselves and won't care about others.

It seems time to save some money; can't keep handing over wages to Qin Huairu.

This whole family are white-eyed wolves.

"If you don't marry my mother, you'll never speak to me again?"

"Have you considered that it was your mother who first refused to marry me?"

"She kept delaying, kept delaying; now that Teacher Ran has returned, fearing I might be with Teacher Ran, she suddenly thinks of marrying me."

"If Teacher Ran didn't come back, would she keep dragging me on?"

Looking at Shazhu, seeing his uncertain expression, and not speaking, Xiao Dang asked:

"No, you, you wouldn't be unwilling to marry my mother, would you?"

Shazhu retorted unhappily, "What do you say?"

"You really have a conscience."

"It seems no matter how good I am to you, you won't stand with me."

"This is someone else's child."

Xiao Dang angrily said, "Who lacks conscience?"

"You're turning black and white upside down."

"You are the one without conscience."

Shazhu: "How am I lacking conscience?"

"I haven't done anything."

"There's nothing between me and Teacher Ran."

"No, even if there were, what then?"

"Don't forget I haven't even gotten a marriage certificate with your mother."

"How many times did I ask her to get the certificate back then?"

"How many times? Go ask her."

"But what did she say?"

"Every time she uses Bang Geng as a shield."

"Now it's fine, Teacher Ran has returned, she worries I'll be with Teacher Ran."

"Good grief, now it's reversed, she actively demands I get the certificate."

"Now she doesn't even mention Bang Geng and hasn't taken the initiative to speak to me."

"Of course, I initially spouted nonsense too."

"I said this restaurant was opened by the Great Leader's family."

"But if I didn't say that, what could I do?"

"If I didn't say that, she wouldn't let me open it."

"No, your mother meddles too much."

"What gives her the right?"

Xiao Dang retorted, "Just because she likes you."

Shazhu snorted coldly and said, "I doubt it; if she truly liked me, she should have gotten the certificate with me back then."

Xiao Dang: "Don't say so much."

"I just want to ask you one thing."

Do you like my mother?

Shazhu hesitated, then said, "I like."

Xiao Dang: "Really like?"

Shazhu: "Really like—anyone who doesn't like is a puppy."

Xiao Dang happily said, "That's close enough."

As he said this, Xiao Dang's expression suddenly tightened, and he continued:

Xiao Dang: "Then I've decided—you and my mom go get the certificate today."

Shazhu furrowed his brow, said, "No way, I already told your mom."

"Let me first calm down and think it through."

"I, I just can't get my head around this right now."

"Your mom's change is too sudden."

"This is between me and your mom—please don't get involved."

Xiao Dang thought and said, "All right, as long as you like my mom."

"I'll turn back and not let the First, Second, and Third Grandmothers come."

Shazhu said sullenly, "You still have three lined up, huh?"

Xiao Dang: "I've told them already, one at a time."

"You won't get any decent sleep these two days."

"Fine, go ahead and sleep."

"I'll tell them not to come."

Shazhu snorted coldly and said, "You really are your mother's daughter."

After saying that, he started to get out of bed.

Xiao Dang frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Shazhu said irritably, "I'm going to work—what else would I do?"

Xiao Dang: "No way."

"Without my mom's permission, you're not leaving this door."

After saying that, Xiao Dang went out and shut the door.

After a moment's daze, Shazhu shouted urgently:

"Hey hey hey, Xiao Dang, don't lock the door."

"I have to work this shift—I'm earning my wages."

"I say, little girl..."

Shazhu trailed off, having heard Xiao Dang lock the door.

Xiao Dang came home, didn't see Qin Huairu; only Jia Zhangshi was sitting inside eating.

After looking around, she sat down in front of Jia Zhangshi and asked:

"Grandma, where's my mom?"

Jia Zhangshi: "I don't know where she went; she just left without saying anything."

Xiao Dang complained, "My mom hasn't slept all night."

"Why didn't you stop her?"

Jia Zhangshi grew sullen.

She glared at Xiao Dang and asked irritably:

"What are you talking about?"

"Can I stop her?"

"Who's your mom?"

"Can I stop her from doing what she wants?"

"Why do you blame me for everything?"

Xiao Dang: "I'm not blaming you either."

"But you're also right."

"Sigh, Huaihua went to work too."

"Now I'm all alone."

Jia Zhangshi said irritably, "Everyone's as lax as you."

"Then don't we have to lose our jobs?"

"Our family will have to drink Xibei wind."

Xiao Dang said sullenly, "I don't actually want to be so lax."

"Then the school factory is gone."

"The school won't let me teach either."

"Am I not just turning into an idle person?"

"What do you say I should do?"

Jia Zhangshi: "No, that... what's it called..."

"Wasn't the tertiary sector supposed to take you?"

Xiao Dang said scornfully, "No thanks—what a lousy tertiary sector."

"Just like the street factory."

It's contemptible.

Jia Zhangshi: "So you said, you're still careless."

You won't go here, you won't go there; you dislike this, you dislike that.

Neither high nor low.

Put bluntly, that's called having high eyes but low hands.

Xiao Dang became unhappy: "What are you saying? How did I become high-eyed, low-handed?"

Don't look down on people like that.

I didn't know before, but since I can remember, you've always been idle at home doing nothing.
