Chapter 358: She's just using Bang Geng as a shield!

~6 min read 1,188 words

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Shazhu was dumbfounded.

After Lin Shengli arrived, Yi Zhonghai ignored him for a long time.

Now that they've finally patched things up, he feels as if he and Yi Zhonghai have gone back to the way things were.

Who would have thought he'd actually offended Yi Zhonghai now.

But he still didn't want to just give in.

"Eldest Uncle, we're just talking about the matter at hand."

"I didn't mean to say anything about you."

"Really, we're just discussing the facts."

"Please don't get angry, okay?"

"To be honest, with such a big incident in our courtyard, as Eldest Uncle you bear responsibility."

"If I were here, I'd take care of Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiefang one by one."

"If I didn't whip that guy's morals into shape, I wouldn't be Shazhu."

Yi Zhonghai let out a cold snort and said:

"Let me tell you, Shazhu."

"You can't just cure someone's morals."

"Stop blaming others and look at yourself first."

Shazhu asked angrily, "What's wrong with me?"

Yi Zhonghai: "You say what's wrong with you?"

"Why won't Huairu even talk to you?"

Shazhu: "She's trying to force me to marry and get the certificate."

"Is there anyone like her who does that?"

"How many times did I beg her to marry and get the certificate back then?"

"Every time she said that little brat Bang Geng didn't agree."

Hearing this, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but interject:

"Shazhu, if you keep insulting my precious grandson, I'll kick you out."

Shazhu hesitated, then said: "I, I'm not actually scolding him."

"I mean, Huairu always used him as a shield back then."

"She'd say that if he took the initiative to talk to me, then she'd go get the certificate with me."

"At first I believed her."

"But later I thought about it and realized Huairu just didn't want to get the certificate with me, so she said that."

"You know, it's really strange—I've been so good to Bang Geng, especially when he was little."

"But how does he treat me?"

"All of a sudden, with no warning, he just stops talking to me."

"Don't you think I'm being wronged?"

"Later I figured it must be Huairu telling him to act like that."

"Her goal is just to avoid getting the certificate with me."

"Now she suddenly wants to get the certificate with me—what for?"

"Because Teacher Ran appeared."

"She's worried Teacher Ran will steal me away."

"Before I asked you to get the certificate and you refused; now you ask me to get it—why should I agree?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Alright, if you want to be with Teacher Ran, then be with her."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Shazhu: "Hey Eldest Uncle, you'd better not say that."

"If Teacher Ran is willing to be with me, I really would go through with it."

"But I'm not heartless; as long as Huairu and they still need me, I'll still help."

"I'm not like you—you're rich but unwilling to lend a hand."

Yi Zhonghai furrowed his brows and asked, "How do you know I'm so rich?"

Shazhu: "Your salary is so high, and Shengli is so rich—who would believe you have no money?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Shengli's money is Shengli's money."

"I've never taken a penny from Shengli."

"Even if he gave it to me, I wouldn't take it."

Shazhu: "That's where you're wrong."

"Why don't you take it?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Why should I take it?"

"Do I lack food or drink?"

"You said my salary is so high that even I and Eldest Aunt can't spend it all—why would I need to take the child's money?"

Shazhu: "Well, if you have extra, you could help everyone out."

Yi Zhonghai: "Shazhu, you help in emergencies, not the poor—understand?"

Shazhu: "I don't get it; I just can't stand seeing Huairu's family poor."

Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh and said nothing.

Shazhu continued: "Alright, we don't need to talk about that anymore."

"Talking too much hurts feelings."

"Actually, speaking from the heart, I really can't make up my mind now."

"I always feel that Huairu doesn't truly like me."

"That's why I've been hesitating all along."

"I haven't been living together with Teacher Ran either."

"I've been staying in the hotel's back kitchen."

Yi Zhonghai gave a cold snort and said: "Who would believe that."

"If you're not living with Teacher Ran, why don't you want to come back?"

Shazhu: "Eldest Uncle, if you talk like that, it's no fun."

"I eat scallions and garlic, but I don't eat soy sauce."

"If you say that, I'll move back tonight."

"See if I move back or not."

Yi Zhonghai: "Moving back reluctantly, living there would be meaningless."

Shazhu: "Alright, alright, just do it like that, uh."

"Just do it like that."

"I'll tell you, Eldest Uncle, why I moved back."

Yi Zhonghai: "Why?"

Shazhu looked at Jia Zhangshi and asked: "Aunt Zhang, have you noticed?"

"If I'm not living in this courtyard, something happens—have you noticed?"

"Something big has happened!"

Yi Zhonghai sneered: "Hey, the earth would still turn without you!"

"We wouldn't still be alive, right?"

Shazhu: "Of course!"

"I wouldn't dare say it to you, you have Lin Shengli."

"But Huairu and them, plus the Second and Third Elders' families—if I'm not there, if I don't look after them, they won't live well."

"See, if I'm not here, something big happens."

"Hmph, with me around, if Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiecheng and their ilk dare to stir up trouble—"

"See if I can't kill them!"

"I've said it here: this matter has nothing to do with Xu Damao; I, I am your grandson!"

Yi Zhonghai shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I don't have a grandson like you!"

Shazhu frowned, very unhappy, and asked:

"What's wrong? What about me?"

Yi Zhonghai gave a cold snort and said:

"Let me tell you, this matter has nothing at all to do with Xu Damao."

"Everyone in the front and back courtyards can testify."

Jia Zhangshi: "Exactly, everyone can prove it, it really has nothing to do with Xu Damao."

"If it weren't for Yu Haitang and Xu Damao helping, nobody would have known what to do."

"Goodness, your Second Uncle and Second Aunt said they'd faint and they did."

Shazhu: "Eldest Uncle, let me tell you about this."

"If this really has nothing to do with Xu Damao, I, I'll write the character 'he' upside down on a horse, I'll tell you."

Having said that, he pointed at Yi Zhonghai, then at Jia Zhangshi, and continued:

"Old, you're just old."

While saying that, he pointed at his own head and continued:

"This brain, this brain, it just can't turn the corner."

"Alright, Aunt Zhang, you all discuss it."

"I'm leaving."

After saying that, he stood up, pointed at Yi Zhonghai, and said: "You, you how did you become like this?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Alright, you, I'm still me, but you've changed so much I don't even recognize you."

"You've changed so much that even we all don't recognize you!"

Shazhu gave a cold snort and stormed off angrily.
