Chapter 371: Shazhu confesses to Teacher Ran, suffers a blow

Hearing Yan Bu Gui's words, Yu Li became sullen: "What right?"

"What right do we have to repay?"

"Eh, Dad, saying that like this is a bit unreasonable."

Yan Bu Gui: "I just won't be reasonable."

"If you hadn't told us back then, could we have done this business?"

Yu Li: "Then doing business was also your voluntary choice, right?"

Yan Bu Gui: "I don't care."

Yu Li: "Then we won't care either; don't regret it later."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Left behind was a sullen Yan Bu Gui.

He had originally thought of letting Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li return this money to Shazhu and Qin Huairu.

Hearing that, Yu Li had no intention of repaying it for him.

What should he do?

He now has no money at all, relying only on a bit of retirement pay, and still needs to eat in the future.

He watched Yu Li's receding back until it disappeared from his field of view, then he suddenly let out a long sigh and muttered to himself:

"I've figured it out; living in vain is worse than being like Shazhu, who understands things."

Evening.

Shazhu had just walked out of the restaurant with a bag containing several lunch boxes when suddenly Teacher Ran's voice came from behind.

He involuntarily shuddered, hurriedly turned around, and at the same time hid the lunch boxes behind his back.

Teacher Ran walked out of the restaurant and, facing him standing a few meters away, asked:

"He Yuzhu, what are you holding in your hand?"

Shazhu: "Ah, no, nothing."

Teacher Ran: "Could I be mistaken?"

"Put your hand down."

Shazhu replied with a smile: "Boss, why are you still here so late?"

Teacher Ran: "You thought I wasn't here, so you brought the restaurant's dishes back to the Siheyuan?"

Shazhu froze for a moment, but quickly spoke up:

"No, absolutely not."

"This is my dinner; I have no appetite today, so I plan to take it back first and eat it later if I get hungry."

Teacher Ran: "Really?"

"He Yuzhu, I hope you don't treat my words as wind in the ear."

"I also don't want you using my things to support Qin Huairu."

"You can eat it, but it's best to eat it in the restaurant."

"However, I'm not unfeeling; today I'll make an exception just this once."

"If you have no appetite, you can take it back and eat it when you get hungry."

"But this is not to be repeated."

Hearing this, Shazhu felt very sullen.

But.

He still put on a smile and said:

"Yes, yes, yes, not to be repeated, not to be repeated."

"From now on I'll eat in the restaurant and won't take anything back."

Teacher Ran asked: "Then if you offend again, how should you be punished?"

Shazhu hesitated and said: "Um, still punish?"

Teacher Ran: "What do you mean?"

Shazhu: "I mean, can't we show some humanity and not punish at the drop of a hat?"

Teacher Ran: "So you mean the dishes you brought tonight aren't just for yourself to eat?"

"How many dishes did you bring?"

Shazhu quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, I only brought one dish, really just for me to eat."

Teacher Ran: "I'll leave it at that; I can't let anyone break the restaurant's rules."

"As long as it's broken, punishment must follow."

"You should know that I once gave you shares, but you've already sold those shares to me."

"Now you have no shares left in the restaurant; you're just earning a wage."

"Everything in the restaurant belongs to me personally."

Shazhu: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all yours."

Saying that, he suddenly broke into a grin and asked:

"Boss, are you... are you jealous of Qin Huairu?"

Teacher Ran frowned, not answering but instead asking back:

"What are you saying?"

"Jealousy?"

Shazhu smiled but said nothing.

Teacher Ran smiled and said, "He Yuzhu, do you want me to cry or do you want me to laugh?"

"Qin Huairu, I used to respect her a lot."

"But now I finally see it, this person is too scheming."

"I keep my distance from her."

"As for those elders in your courtyard, I originally had a pretty good impression of them."

"But the recent events have also shown me that they are a bunch of bloodsuckers."

Shazhu unhappily interrupted, "Boss, you can't say that."

"They were also looking out for me back then; if they offended you in any way, just don't hold it against them, okay?"

"Really, they're all good people."

Teacher Ran: "Alright, good, good, very good."

Shazhu: "Boss, do you, do you have feelings for me?"

"Otherwise you wouldn't be jealous of Qin Huairu."

"Don't speak, listen to me finish: I and Qin Huairu are just neighbors, really nothing between us."

"To be honest, I quite like you."

Teacher Ran couldn't help but interrupt: "Enough, He Yuzhu, the more you say the more ridiculous it gets."

"What am I jealous about?"

"Honestly, I'm just your boss and employee."

"I hope you don't overthink it."

After saying that, Teacher Ran turned and walked into the restaurant.

She wanted to tell the manager to have the manager follow Shazhu and see how much vegetables he brings back.

She already disliked Qin Huairu, not just Qin Huairu but also Shazhu's neighboring elders.

She didn't want Shazhu to take the restaurant's vegetables to feed those people.

Those people wouldn't even remember your kindness.

Besides, she runs a restaurant, not a charity.

Shazhu stood at the restaurant entrance, dazed for a while, then stepped toward the courtyard.

He was feeling really unhappy.

When has he ever suffered such aggravation?

If it were before, he would have already quit in a huff.

But now it's different.

He needs to make money.

Qin Huairu's family has no money now, and the Second Elder and Third Elder's families also have no money.

A whole bunch of people need to eat.

Moreover, he still hasn't given up on Teacher Ran.

He always thinks Teacher Ran has feelings for him because Teacher Ran is jealous of Qin Huairu.

Otherwise, how could Teacher Ran get so angry?

Just now when she turned around, it was obvious she was angry.

"Sigh, really annoying!"

"They're both great, who should I choose?"

"I feel like Qin Huairu is also getting better and better."

"But Teacher Ran also seems great."

"Women are all saying one thing and meaning another......"

"So does she really have feelings for me?"

Shazhu walked while letting his mind run wild.

At first he was devastated, but after thinking it over, he felt Teacher Ran was just saying one thing and meaning another.

He felt Teacher Ran must like him.

Siheyuan.

A bunch of people sat in the central courtyard watching TV while eating melon seeds and peanuts, waiting for Shazhu to bring back vegetables to eat.

The TV was playing Dream of the Red Chamber.

Suddenly.

Liu Haizhong, who kept cracking melon seeds nonstop, frowned and said:

"I didn't understand it."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Yi Zhonghai sitting beside him and asked:

"Lao Yi, do you understand it?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said:

"Not really clear."

Qin Huairu looked at Yan Bu Gui and said:

"Let Third Elder explain, then it'll be clear."
