Chapter 379: Buy a washing machine? Just saying it off the cuff!

Although he thought that, Shazhu still spoke up:

Driving school.

Qin Huairu said unhappily:

There are many driving schools; which one?

Shazhu: "That... the north... north side, a north side driving school."

Qin Huairu asked again: "Is it just called North Side Driving School?"

Shazhu pretended to think, then said: "No, I... I just forgot the name for a moment."

"It's that driving school really close to our courtyard; what's its name again?"

Qin Huairu, face dark, said unhappily: "I don't know."

She had already seen through Shazhu's lie.

To lie like that, there must be something fishy in his heart.

Having said that, she glared at Shazhu, turned, and walked out.

Shazhu stared blankly at Qin Huairu's back until she disappeared, then it took him a while to come to his senses.

Then he let out a long sigh, shook his head, and muttered softly:

"I don't even have anything to do with her; why would I lie to her?"

"And why do I feel guilty when I lie?"

"Shazhu, Shazhu, can't you be more promising?"

Just then, Qin Huairu walked in.

This also startled Shazhu.

"What's wrong? Did I scare you?"

"That's right, you walk without making a sound."

"Nonsense, what did you just say?"

Upon hearing that, Shazhu froze, then quickly shook his head and said:

"I didn't say anything."

"I said you treat me well."

Qin Huairu: "Only now you realize!"

"By the way, Shazhu, the weather is getting colder."

"Washing clothes makes my hands freeze; it's unbearable."

"Can you buy me a washing machine?"

"Look at Eldest Uncle, Second Elder, and San Da Ye's clothes—so many people's laundry, no washing machine is too exhausting."

"Buy a washing machine?"

"Just saying it off the cuff!"

Shazhu felt depressed.

Because it's a time when he's short on money.

He's now deep in debt, yet Qin Huairu is thinking about enjoying herself.

Seeing him silent, Qin Huairu frowned and asked:

"Shazhu, I'm talking to you; can you hear me?"

Shazhu: "Oh oh, I heard, I heard."

Qin Huairu: "So will you buy it or not?"

Shazhu: "Buy, I must buy."

"How could I let your hands freeze?"

Qin Huairu: "Hmm, better buy it tomorrow."

Shazhu nodded.

Qin Huairu: "Then I'll go rest."

Shazhu nodded again.

Qin Huairu: "No, you seem unhappy."

"Is it too much trouble to ask you to buy a washing machine?"

"If it's too much trouble, then forget it."

Shazhu: "No, no, no."

"I'm just a bit tired and sleepy."

Qin Huairu: "Oh, that's good."

"Then you rest."

"By the way, should I give you money to buy it, or will you buy it?"

Shazhu: "I'll give you the money; tomorrow after I return from driving lessons I'll give it to you."

Qin Huairu: "Okay, then hurry up."

"Let's get a better one; give me two thousand."

Shazhu: "Okay, no problem."

Qin Huairu: "Then I'll wait for you to bring the money."

Having said that, she walked out, leaving Shazhu extremely depressed.

Qin Huairu walked out while secretly regretting it in her heart.

She regretted that she had asked for too little.

Had she known Shazhu would be so generous, she would have asked for three thousand.

The next morning, early.

Shazhu got up early, even though Qin Huairu hadn't come to call her.

When stepping out, he suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.

Arriving at Zhongyuan, he looked around once, and finally his gaze fixed on Qin Huairu's house door.

A few seconds later, he hurried toward Qian Yuan.

As if worried about being discovered.

Qin Huairu stood under the window inside the house, watching everything.

This made her suspect that Shazhu's purpose wasn't just to learn driving.

After thinking, she also went out.

Shazhu hurriedly made his way to the restaurant entrance, where Teacher Ran was already waiting in a small car.

"Fortunately, I'm not late yet."

Shazhu grinned, "This is your first time asking me out, right?"

"I was flattered, how could I dare be late?"

Teacher Ran: "That doesn't count as a date."

"I was just rewarding you."

"Enough talk, get in."

After the car left, Qin Huairu emerged from behind a large tree.

Then.

She stood there, staring blankly at the direction the car went.

She was in a very bad mood now.

Shazhu really did deceive her.

Saying he was going to learn driving.

In fact, he was going on a date with Teacher Ran.

"No, I must find a way to break them up."

"We must not let them succeed."

She muttered that to herself and walked toward the house.

Just as she returned to the Siheyuan, she ran into Yi Zhonghai.

"Eldest Uncle, going for a walk?"

"Please don't go yet, I forgot my money; I'll go out to buy breakfast first, then go after eating."

Yi Zhonghai: "No need, I'll go out to eat."

"By the way, when will San Da Ma be discharged?"

Qin Huairu: "In the afternoon; the hospital discharges in the afternoon."

Yi Zhonghai: "What about Shazhu? Still not up?"

Qin Huairu: "He got up, left early, said he was going to learn driving."

Yi Zhonghai frowned, asking, "He went to learn driving?"

Qin Huairu nodded, "Yes, he also said once he has money, he'll buy a car."

"Aren't there many elderly in our courtyard?"

"Who has a convenient illness?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded, "When will he return?"

"Returning won't delay drinking, right?"

Qin Huairu: "That won't happen, don't worry."

Yi Zhonghai: "Alright then, I'm heading out."

Qin Huairu nodded.

Afternoon.

Seeing that Shazhu hadn't returned and no one would bring food, Qin Huairu, helplessly, went to a small restaurant to get a takeout.

"Boss, what are you busy with?"

Entering the small restaurant, the boss was standing at the counter calculating on an abacus, Qin Huairu asked.

The boss looked up, saw Qin Huairu, and hurriedly said:

"It's Qin Jie, what's this?"

"How do you have time to visit our little shop?"

This small restaurant is not far from the alley entrance.

The boss also lives in the alley, and naturally knows Qin Huairu, Shazhu and the others.

Qin Huairu: "Oh, I'm just looking to order a few dishes here."

"At seven p. m., deliver the money to my house on time."

The boss frowned, "Are you trying to pull a fast one on me?"

"If Shazhu eats the stir‑fry here, he'll come over to scold me."

"I don't want to be scolded."

Qin Huairu smiled, "It won't happen; just do as I say."

I'll give you the money first.

Having said that, they took out thirty dollars from the bag, placed it on the counter, and then said:

This is thirty dollars; if it's not enough, I'll make up the difference.

The boss happily nodded and said, "All right, then I'll obey rather than show respect."

What would you like to order?

As long as there's money, it's easy to handle.

Qin Huairu: "Right, you need to get that young assistant to speak less."

Boss: "All right, don't worry."

What would you like to order?

Qin Huairu nodded, picked up the menu, and began to look at it.
