Chapter 39: Mistook My Feelings, Now I'm Furious with Shame

Yi Zhonghai felt very uncomfortable about Shazhu's blackmail of him.

After all, he had been so kind to Shazhu before.

Who would have thought.

He values tonight's dinner too much.

This is Lin Shengli's first time eating at his house.

He must find someone who cooks well; he can't shortchange Lin Shengli.

In the past, for his future security, he still indulged Shazhu a bit.

Now that Lin Shengli has arrived, he's his own younger sister's biological son, sharing blood ties with him.

And he's the only relative he has.

From now on, they will rely on each other.

Shazhu's blackmail suddenly made him feel that outsiders without blood ties are unreliable.

He also decided not to keep indulging Shazhu any longer.

He will live uprightly and will no longer force himself to do those things that others poke at his backbone.

Hearing Shazhu's words, Qin Huairu asked nervously, "What's going on?"

"What's up with you and Eldest Uncle?"

Now Yi Zhonghai is dissatisfied with Jia Zhangshi, so he will probably also be displeased with her and Jia Dongxu because of it.

She was also thinking of using Shazhu as a lubricant.

Shazhu said casually:

"Eldest Uncle asked me to cook."

"I said if he gets Factory Director Yang to revoke my punishment, I'll cook for him."

At this point, he glanced at Qin Huairu, lowered his head slightly, his expression like a child who had done something wrong, and said timidly:

"I was punished today because of Bang Geng's incident."

He worries his salary will be reduced, and that Qin Huairu's attitude toward him will change because of it.

Qin Huairu asked anxiously:

"What punishment did you receive?"

"You aren't quitting the cafeteria, are you?"

That is what Qin Huairu cares about most.

If Shazhu stops working in the cafeteria, how will he bring leftovers to her family later?

Qin Huairu's nervousness and anxiety were evident, which made Jia Zhangshi feel very dissatisfied and annoyed.

Shazhu usually gets along closely with Qin Huairu, and she, like Jia Dongxu, worries that they might have some unsavory relationship.

Shazhu sighed lightly and said, "Record a major demerit, reduce his salary by one grade."

Qin Huairu: "Then why are you still in the cafeteria?"

Shazhu, with a haughty expression, replied, "Of course I'm working; without me in the cafeteria, how will the factory host later?"

"Don't worry, they won't stop me; my cooking skill is right here."

"They can't do without me."

Upon hearing that, Qin Huairu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought for a moment and asked:

"Shazhu, didn't you later agree to cook for Eldest Uncle?"

Shazhu shook his head and said, "No, but don't worry; he'll definitely come looking for me later."

"If he doesn't ask me to cook, who else will he ask?"

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Right, then later when you go to cook, see if you can get some food..."

Shazhu said with some difficulty, "I'm afraid that's not easy to arrange."

"After all, this isn't at the factory; in the factory's back kitchen, I have no one who dares to speak up."

"But this is Eldest Uncle's house, after all."

At this point, seeing his beloved goddess looking a bit displeased, he quickly continued:

"But things are up to people, after all."

"I will definitely try to get a bit of it."

"Your family is so difficult, but Eldest Uncle will also support me."

Just then,

Yi Dama stepped out, holding a net basket of cherries.

Jia Zhangshi stood up excitedly and said, "See, I told you they could never forget us!"

"Eldest Aunt came to bring us cherries."

"Unfortunately she didn't bring watermelons."

Qin Huairu also saw it, got a bit excited, stood up and walked toward the doorway.

Just as she took a step, Lin Shengli walked out again, carrying a large watermelon.

Jia Zhangshi slapped her thigh excitedly and rushed to the doorway.

At this moment,

Qin Huairu had already stepped out of the doorway, looking at Yi Dama and Lin Shengli with a beaming smile.

Huh?

What's going on?

No way, Yi Dama, why are you heading to the back courtyard?

Shouldn't you be coming to my house?

No, how come you don't even glance at me?

You didn't even notice me standing at the door, smiling at you all this time?

Qin Huairu's smile froze in an instant.

Jia Zhangshi rushed to the door and was also dumbfounded.

She just stared fixedly at Lin Shengli and Yi Dama's backs until they disappeared, then she came to her senses.

Then she jumped up, pointing at the direction where the backs disappeared, and scolded:

«Old... »

He became angry out of shame!

Qin Huairu's face changed involuntarily; she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and whispered:

«Mom, mom, please hold on, ah. »

«They probably first gave it to the Deaf Old Lady. »

«Maybe, they might come to us later. »

She finished speaking.

Without waiting for Jia Zhangshi to speak, he pulled her inside and shut the door.

After being pulled inside, Jia Zhangshi, angry, pushed Qin Huairu and snapped:

«You jinx, what are you trying to do? »

«Why won't you let me vent my anger properly? »

Qin Huairu glared at Jia Zhangshi and said angrily:

«Go ahead, go ahead and scold, ah. »

«If you want Dong Xu and Bang Geng to suffer later, go ahead and scold to your heart's content. »

Jia Zhangshi opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopped.

She felt she was really too impulsive.

Qin Huairu's words made perfect sense, ah.

For Dong Xu and Bang Geng, I'll endure!

Just then.

Suddenly, a «pah» sound came.

It turned out Shazhu saw Jia Zhangshi actually laying hands on his goddess, and he flew into a rage.

But he could only vent his anger on the table.

«You're asking for death, Shazhu! Do you want to scare me to death? » Jia Zhangshi was startled, angry, and pointed at Shazhu, cursing:

I...

This old hag, her temper is really explosive!

She's even more explosive than me, ah.

Forget it, forget it, this old woman must be going through menopause.

Being irritable is normal; out of respect for Qin Jie, I won't argue with her.

Shazhu struggled to suppress his explosive temper, put on a smile for Jia Zhangshi, and said:

«No, no, I just can't let it go. »

«This is totally unreasonable! »

«This, this, Yi Dama really lets me down! »

«How did it change so quickly? »

«When Lin Shengli came, did he forget all of us? »

Jia Zhangshi muttered: «No wonder, it's no surprise the line will die out. »

Qin Huairu let out a soft sigh and said: «Mom, can we avoid mentioning those two words «extinction» from now on? »

«Be careful, walls have ears. »

«Eldest Uncle and Yi Dama are especially taboo about this. »

Jia Zhangshi glared at Qin Huairu and said angrily:

«He's inherently sterile; what's there to fear people saying? »

After saying that, seeing Qin Huairu and Shazhu sitting there silent,

She let out a cold snort and walked toward the kitchen.

After scolding, she was a bit thirsty; the kitchen still had half a bottle of soda, and she wanted to take a sip.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Jia Dongxu walked in.

Upon seeing that only Qin Huairu and Shazhu were in the room, he immediately rushed to the corner and grabbed a broom.
