Chapter 330: Bang Geng Flips the Table, the Qin Family in Chaos

Xiao Dang and Huaihua returned to the Siheyuan and woke the already sleeping Bang Geng.

Bang Geng, with a dark face, followed them to the house.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi have not slept yet.

The two were sitting there, sighing and groaning.

Seeing Xiao Dang return, Jia Zhangshi hurriedly stood up and asked:

"Xiao Dang, what's the matter?"

Qin Huairu said nothing, but her gaze toward Xiao Dang held more hope.

Xiao Dang let out a long sigh, sat down, and said:

"This little security guard won't let us in, nor will he let San Da Ye in."

"It really makes me furious."

"They say it's Teacher Ran who won't open the door for us to get in."

"Hey, Mom, don't you think this is infuriating?"

"How did Teacher Ran become like this?"

"She wasn't like this before."

"From her attitude, it seems she wants to monopolize Sha Shu."

Qin Huairu said nothing, but her complexion grew even sicker.

Bang Geng: "I tell you, Mom, you really are something."

"By doing this, aren't you just pushing Shazhu onto Teacher Ran?"

"Alas, if you had been more decisive back then and married Shazhu, all this trouble wouldn't have arisen."

Xiao Dang: "Enough, brother, what's the point of saying this now?"

"I called you here to have you think of a solution; what should we do now?"

Bang Geng said irritably: "How would I know what to do?"

Xiao Dang thought for a moment and said: "Brother's not wrong."

"It was already something we couldn't reclaim, and now it's even worse."

"You locked Sha Shu for three days, and over there they lock him for another month."

"When you see Sha Shu again, go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Jia Zhangshi let out a long sigh and said: "Indeed, Shazhu is a money tree; giving him up like this is such a waste."

Qin Huairu now feels more distressed than anyone.

She regrets it, her gut turning green with remorse.

Huaihua comforted: "Don't think of it so badly."

"Actually, I support Mom doing this."

"Sha Shu has become wild; he just needs someone to keep him in check."

"If you don't manage him, he'll truly become lawless."

"I think this is a test stone Mom threw out."

"If Sha Shu really likes Mom, he should come back and cheer her up."

"If he truly likes Mom, he should quickly cut ties with the restaurant side and leave Teacher Ran."

"Otherwise, if he doesn't like Mom, he can do whatever he wants, and we won't bother him."

Jia Zhangshi: "Easier said than done."

"If any of you had a bit of ambition to earn a lot of money, your mother and I wouldn't be fixated on Shazhu, that money tree."

"But the problem is your brother has no job, your sister has no job either; with just that month's salary, can it cover our whole family's expenses?"

"If Shazhu's monthly salary hadn't all gone to your mother, we'd be starving."

"Besides, Shazhu also has two houses."

"If he ends up with that someone, Teacher Ran, then we'd be totally screwed, you know?"

"Your brother has no job and no house; how can he find a partner?"

"And what about your dowry?"

Bang Geng echoed: "Right, Huaihua, you're thinking way too simply."

"I don't like Shazhu either, and I'm liking him less and less. But Grandma is right; he's a money tree, how can we just give up on him?"

Xiao Dang, looking at Qin Huairu's deadpan face who had been silent, said irritably:

"Mom, at least say something; always keeping that sour face and staying silent is really scary."

"Our hearts are also at a loss."

"If you have any thoughts, speak them quickly so we can all hear, okay?"

Qin Huairu let out a long sigh, still saying nothing.

She now has a death wish; there's no mood left to speak.

Xiao Dang frowned, stood up, and said irritably:

"What kind of thing is this?"

"Not even a hum when I ask you a question."

"Fine, you all speak, I'm going to sleep."

"I won't care anymore; I will never care again."

Jia Zhangshi shouted at her back: "Traitor, you're truly a traitor."

Xiao Dang, hearing this, hurriedly stopped, turned his head, and said to Jia Zhangshi:

What are you talking about? Who's the ungrateful one?

Jia Zhangshi gave a cold snort and said unhappily:

Not handling family affairs makes you an ungrateful person.

Xiao Dang got angry: "I want to take charge, and I can!"

My mom doesn't say a word, how am I supposed to manage?

Jia Zhangshi: "Your mom is upset, she doesn't want to talk."

She still wants to be with Shazhu.

Xiao Dang: "If she wants to speak up, then fine—say whatever you want."

I'm the ungrateful one.

Having said that, she walked into the inner room.

Bang Geng stood up and said: "I'm leaving too, it's boring."

Qin Huairu, hearing that, could no longer hold back and tears streamed down.

Huaihua glanced at her, pointed at Bang Geng and shouted: "What are you doing?"

Sister, it's beyond her control.

You say you're leaving and you go, then whine about being bored?

It's made Mom cry again.

You say about yourself, you're this old and still haven't found a job, making everyone worry about you.

And you're still talking like that.

Bang Geng, upon hearing that, instantly glared at Huaihua and demanded: "What's wrong with me?"

I said I'm bored—what's the problem?

She doesn't say a word; what can we do?

One shouldn't be so hypocritical; say what you think.

Qin Huairu could no longer hold back; with a 'whoosh' she jumped up, pointed at Bang Geng and shouted angrily:

Get out! Get out of my sight!

You're all ungrateful!

Bang Geng also couldn't hold back, he flipped the table over and strode away.

Jia Zhangshi, sitting at the table, was likewise frightened, her face changing color as she pointed at Bang Geng's retreating back and shouted angrily:

Ungrateful, little ungrateful! Is this how you treat your grandma?

Qin Huairu suddenly burst into loud sobs with a 'wah'.

Hearing the noise, Xiao Dang hurried out; seeing the table overturned on the floor, she instantly flew into a rage:

Was it my brother who overturned it? I'm going to settle the score with him.

Having said that, she burst out the door.

Shazhu supported Liu Haizhong, who had drunk a bit too much, as they returned to the hutong entrance.

Take it easy, Second Elder, we're almost at the courtyard, ah.

Please walk slowly.

I see you look uncomfortable; do you want to vomit?

There's a trash can here; come on, throw up.

Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and said:

No, no need, no need.

Everything inside, it's all good stuff.

If I throw up all the good stuff, I'd suffer a huge loss.

Then I'd have eaten it for nothing.

Shazhu chuckled: "Alright, then we won't waste anything."

Liu Haizhong: "Exactly, exactly, we must not waste; wasting is shameful."
