Chapter 378

After Shazhu excitedly expressed his thanks, he asked with a smiling face:

"Boss, I, I have another idea, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Teacher Ran laughed: "Go ahead."

Shazhu: "Can I learn to drive from you?"

His idea is good.

He wanted to, by having Teacher Ran teach him to drive, spend more time with Teacher Ran, communicate more, in order to deepen their feelings.

Teacher Ran thought for a moment, then said:

"Alright, I promise you, tomorrow I'll take you to register at the driving school."

Shazhu: "Tomorrow?"

He remembered that Third Aunt would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and he had promised Qin Huairu that he would go home tomorrow to personally cook dishes to welcome Third Aunt back.

Teacher Ran: "What? You don't have time tomorrow?"

Shazhu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, as long as I can be with you I have time."

Teacher Ran smiled and said nothing.

Shazhu asked: "Then what time tomorrow?"

Teacher Ran: "Around seven, at our restaurant—see you there or don't bother coming."

Shazhu: "Alright, then it's settled."

Zhongyuan.

Everyone sat around a long dining table, eating the delicious dishes that Shazhu had someone bring back.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bu Gui and asked:

"Old Yan, Third Aunt is being discharged from the hospital tomorrow, right?"

Yan Bu Gui nodded and said:

"That's right, tomorrow."

Qin Huairu: "I'm thinking that after Third Aunt is discharged, her mobility will be inconvenient."

"When the time comes, if Shazhu brings over dishes, I'll have Huaihua send them to you."

Upon hearing that, Yan Bu Gui was instantly moved to tears.

However, he still pretended to be polite and said:

"Don't, don't, don't, don't make special arrangements."

"My old wife can walk, she's had her stitches removed."

Liu Haizhong chuckled, pointed his chopsticks at Yan Bu Gui, and said:

"Old Yi, don't listen to his nonsense, ah."

"This Old Yan has been playing petty tricks lately."

Upon hearing that, Yan Bu Gui frowned involuntarily, his face sullen as he said:

"Who's been playing petty tricks? Honestly, you just spout nonsense."

Liu Haizhong laughed: "What? Want me to expose you?"

Yan Bu Gui: "Whatever."

"I'm open and aboveboard; what do you have to expose?"

Second Aunt laughed: "Bang Geng's mom, or I'll say it."

Having said that, she pointed her chopsticks at Yan Bu Gui and continued:

"Actually, Old Yan, you're just afraid of two things."

"Not giving him good food to eat."

As soon as she said that, everyone burst out laughing.

Yan Bu Gui's old face involuntarily turned red.

Because Second Aunt was right—he was afraid that when the time came, Qin Huairu wouldn't give him good food to eat.

When he saw everyone's eyes turn toward him, Yan Bu Gui gave an embarrassed smile and said:

"I, I mean this isn't petty cleverness."

"What do you call this?"

"This is called 'one cannot be without a guard against others.'"

Having said that, he pointed at Qin Huairu and continued:

"I believe Qin Huairu can balance a bowl of water."

Then he pointed at Liu Haizhong, shook his head, "Old Liu, I don't believe you."

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked:

"Old Yi, do you believe it?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bu Gui and said:

"Who can he believe?"

"He only believes himself."

Liu Haizhong: "Exactly."

Yan Bu Gui: "No, I, I mean when Shazhu isn't here, you all just take me as a punching bag, right?"

Qin Huairu: "He said he'll come back tomorrow, that Third Aunt is being discharged, and he needs to do a welcome feast, to return home in glory."

"Go home and personally cook two dishes."

Yan Bu Gui: "Hey, you say why I'm starting to like this Shazhu more and more, you say."

Liu Haizhong: "Isn't it time you stopped sabotaging him?"

Yan Bu Gui looked at Qin Huairu, pointed at Liu Haizhong, and said:

"Qin Huairu, you've figured it out, right?"

"Who's close to whom, you can tell at a glance, right?"

"Hey, Qin Huairu, you ought to thank me, right?"

Qin Huairu asked: "Thank you for what?"

Yan Bu Gui: "Back then I set up that connection for Teacher Ran, the teacher of Bang Geng and them; can Shazhu still be so good to you now?"

"Now Teacher Ran has become quite something; she's no longer the pure little girl she once was."

"If they get together, will Shazhu still care about your family's fate?"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She was overjoyed to the point of losing herself.

"You, just keep slapping gold on your own face."

"Let me just tell you the truth."

"This Shazhu and Teacher Ran were originally broken up by me."

"I had long seen that Teacher Ran wasn't a good person; if she got together with Shazhu, he'd truly stop caring about us."

Upon hearing this, not only Yan Bu Gui was stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

Nobody expected Qin Huairu to be so scheming.

In order to get Shazhu to help their family, she actually sabotaged Shazhu's marriage prospects.

And Shazhu, being simple-minded, didn't hold a grudge against Qin Huairu and kept helping her.

Seeing everyone with a dazed expression, Qin Huairu laughed and said:

"You don't believe me, do you?"

"If you don't believe me, go ask Shazhu."

Yan Bu Gui pointed at Qin Huairu, wearing an expression of disbelief, and asked:

"No, no, Teacher Ran really was broken up by you?"

Qin Huairu nodded and said:

"That's right, it was me who did it."

"Actually, I don't want to keep it hidden from everyone anymore."

"Back then I could already tell Teacher Ran wasn't a good person."

"She's not worthy of Shazhu."

"Of course, the main reason is that I want to be with Shazhu."

"It's a shame that after all these years we still haven't ended up together; maybe that's fate."

Jia Zhangshi glared at Qin Huairu and muttered in her heart:

"Slut, turns out you were already thinking of remarrying back then!"

Yan Bu Gui: "Ah, I admit defeat, I admit defeat."

Liu Haizhong laughed: "That's just how it is, a ruthless blow to Old Yan."

Yan Bu Gui laughed: "Well struck, well struck."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to enjoy such delicious food now?"

After everyone had eaten their fill and a good while passed, Shazhu finally returned.

Qin Huairu was sitting in the room waiting for him.

"Back already? Why did it take so long?"

Shazhu: "Oh, business at the shop was booming."

Qin Huairu: "Then wash your face first; I'll get you some hot water to soak your feet in a bit."

"No, has business really been that good these past two days?"

"I can see you're exhausted; you hardly feel like talking."

Shazhu nodded and said: "That's right."

"By the way, tomorrow morning at 6:30, come over and wake me up."

Qin Huairu: "What is it? So early?"

Shazhu: "I signed up to learn how to drive."

Qin Huairu frowned and asked:

"How come you suddenly want to learn to drive?"

"And where would you get the money to sign up?"

Shazhu: "Oh, I borrowed it."

"It's fine; difficulties are only temporary."

"The future is bright."

Qin Huairu: "I see you've always been envious of others who can drive."

"Where are you learning?"

Upon hearing that, Shazhu couldn't help but frown and thought to himself:

"Why ask so many details?"

"You're not even related to me."

What does it matter to you where I go to learn? Seriously.
