Chapter 344: Shazhu: I'm laying my cards! Return the money and the house to me!

Hearing Shazhu's words, Bang Geng couldn't help but sneer and said:

"This, I don't know."

"However, what I do know is that if you don't agree, my mother couldn't take your salary."

"If you don't want to give my mother, my mother definitely can't take it either, right?"

"To put it bluntly, this should be a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to take."

Shazhu shouted angrily, "What are you talking about? That I'm willing to take it?"

"Am I that lowly?"

"If your mother weren't constantly puffed up, could I let her seize it?"

"I'm not trying to make her happy, am I?"

"So when it comes to you, does that make me the one willing to take it?"

Bang Geng asked coldly, "What do you want to do?"

"Shazhu, I'm telling you, this money was given to my mother by you voluntarily."

"My mother can allocate it as she wishes; you have no say."

Shazhu, his face turning iron‑blue with anger, said, "If you're going to put it that way, fine, then I'll lay my cards."

"Not only must the money be returned to me, the house must also be vacated for me."

Hearing this,

Bang Geng grew anxious.

He hadn't expected Shazhu to say that.

Not only was he anxious, but he was also extremely depressed.

He took a deep, silent breath, put on a smiling face, and said:

"Sha Shu, can we speak properly?"

Shazhu: "That also depends on whether you speak to me properly."

Bang Geng thought for a moment and said, "Of course I will speak to you properly."

"As for the money you gave my mother, and how much, I actually know nothing about it."

"So, you should go talk to her, okay?"

"If she really took your money, given my mother's character, she'll definitely give it back to you, right?"

Shazhu snorted coldly and said, "You little brat, your words are at least somewhat conscientious."

Bang Geng, of course, wasn't that kind‑hearted.

He was only afraid that pushing Shazhu too hard would make Shazhu vacate the house for him.

Where would he live then?

He was still thinking of using this house to swindle a girl.

Otherwise, if a girl came and saw he had no house, would she dare to date him?

This concerns his whole life's happiness; no matter who or what, he can ignore it.

Even if it means betraying Qin Huairu.

As for Shazhu going to Qin Huairu for money, that's beyond his concern.

He only looks after himself.

Shazhu thought for a moment and said, "But I still won't go back for now."

"Why would I go back?"

"The whole courtyard is giving me the cold shoulder, so I'll just stay here."

That was actually exactly what Bang Geng hoped for.

As long as Shazhu doesn't go back, Shazhu won't bring up the money and the house.

He didn't want to come either; if Qin Huairu hadn't forced him, he wouldn't have come.

"Then I'm leaving."

Bang Geng finished that sentence, stood up, and left.

Suddenly Shazhu called out and stopped him.

"I think I still need to go back once."

Hearing this, Bang Geng's expression instantly grew grim.

The two arrived at the hotel lobby.

Shazhu asked, "Bang Geng, why did you think of sending you here today?"

Bang Geng glanced at the security guard and hurriedly said:

"Going out, say it, going out, say it."

The security guard called after their backs, "Head Chef, take care."

Stepping outside, Bang Geng said, "Xiao Dang and Huaihua have both been here, and the security guard won't let us in."

Shazhu, hearing this, couldn't help but furrow his brows and said:

"Right, right, there's such a thing."

"Forget this matter, just wait."

Having said that, Shazhu walked back to the hotel lobby.

He stormed up to the security guard, pointed at him, and shouted angrily:

"You! Starting tomorrow you don't need to come to work!"

"Got it?"

The security guard smiled and said, "Yo, this doesn't count just because you said it."

"I follow what our Manager says."

Shazhu said gloomily, "Alright, alright, you're impressive, you're impressive."

He finished speaking.

He turned and walked away.

The security guard called after his retreat, "Head Chef, take care."

Returning to the Siheyuan, Shazhu went straight to the house in the Houyuan that the Deaf Old Lady had reserved for him.

As soon as he stepped inside, Qin Huairu entered.

"Shazhu, you can stay in this house for now."

Hearing that, Shazhu's brows furrowed involuntarily, and he thought to himself:

"What do you mean I should stay first? It sounds as if you're saying this house is yours."

"That's my house; I want to live there first, or later, either works."

In fact, he was also seething with resentment.

Qin Huairu had been ignoring him lately, Xiao Dang and Huaihua also scolded him, and everyone in the courtyard gave him the cold shoulder, which made him very sad.

He had already decided on the road that tonight he would reclaim both houses.

At the same time, he intended to retrieve all the money he had given Qin Huairu over the years.

"But if you end up with Teacher Ran, I hope you can leave this house to Xiao Dang."

"Her boyfriend doesn't have a house."

Shazhu's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Sure enough, he's still thinking about my house."

"No, on what grounds?"

"Even if I'm with Teacher Ran, it's still my house."

Qin Huairu, a little hoarse, said, "Please."

"Teacher Ran is so wealthy."

"If you end up with her, will you still lack a house?"

Shazhu: "Her wealth is her own matter."

"My house is my own matter."

"By the way, give me back all the money I've given you over the years; I have an urgent need."

Qin Huairu let out a nasal sound and remained silent.

Shazhu: "I'm speaking to you, hear me?"

Qin Huairu looked at Shazhu, and after a brief pause said:

"Shazhu, thank you."

"These years, thanks to your help, I was able to pull through."

"Now the children have all grown up, and our family's days are better."

"I hate myself; if only I had agreed to marry you back then."

"I just thought too much."

"When I look back, you'll already have given up on this."

Shazhu: "Why say so much? Just give me the money."

Qin Huairu: "I thought that money was mine, so I spent it all."

Shazhu widened his eyes and said, "Qin Huairu, that's too cruel!"

"How many years? You've always been taking my salary."

"I have not a single cent."

"I have to spend money and also borrow from my disciples."

"Now I still owe several disciples a few thousand each."

"You've taken my money; that must add up to tens of thousands, right?"

"Now you tell me you have not a single cent?"

Qin Huairu said nothing, but sat there and began to weep.

Shazhu frowned and said, "Can you stop crying?"

"Always crying, always crying, what do you want?"

Qin Huairu sobbed, "I'm sorry, Shazhu, your money really is gone."

"When I earn money later, I'll pay you back, okay?"

"Also, I hope you first let Bang Geng take your house."

"When he finds a partner and gets married, I'll have him move out and give the house to you, okay?"

"That's the only request I have of you."
