Chapter 406: Birds of a Feather

Yu Haitang bit into a steamed bun, looked at Xu Damao, and asked:

What did you see?

Xu Damao was about to speak when Yu Haitang spoke again, "You'd better not say it."

If it's about this courtyard's matter.

Xu Damao asked somewhat glumly:

Why?

Yu Haitang: "Damao, regarding this courtyard's affairs, we should stay out of it from now on."

Especially you.

However they mess around, if we get involved we'll surely have no good outcome.

Not only will we not get any benefit, we'll just earn people's dislike.

Qin Huairu also told me, saying that as soon as you get involved, you're not a good person.

Xu Damao became more glum: "No, did Qin Huairu really say that?"

Yu Haitang: "Let's eat, stop asking so many questions."

Xu Damao: "So Qin Huairu is a good person now?"

I can't even be bothered to talk about her.

Clinging to Shazhu's body sucking blood, bringing along an old woman and three kids to suck, how could she be a good person?

Only someone as foolish as Shazhu would so debase himself.

Actually, Shazhu isn't any good either.

He and Qin Huairu are birds of a feather.

Yu Haitang let out a sigh and said:

But Shazhu has taken in a bunch of old men and women, and everyone says he's a good person.

Xu Damao said irritably:

He's raising a fart!

What I want to say is exactly this matter.

Yu Haitang: "Alright, you'd better not say it, okay."

Ever since that last uproar, I've lost interest in this courtyard's affairs.

I don't want to hear it.

Let him do whatever he wants.

We just need to live our own little lives well.

Xu Damao: "Isn't that right?"

This Shazhu......

Yu Haitang frowned and interrupted:

Hey, don't say, don't say.

I'm telling you, can you stop provoking Shazhu?

You remember to eat but not to get beaten, huh.

Xu Damao nodded with a glum face and said:

Fine, later even if you beg me to speak, I won't.

Yu Haitang laughed: "Come on, I'm still begging you."

Xu Damao snorted, lowered his head and started gnawing at the practice questions.

After a while.

Yu Haitang looked at Xu Damao and said:

Hey, Damao, say......

Xu Damao, with a proud and annoyed face, interrupted:

I won't say it, even if you beg me.

Yu Haitang: "Do you know what I'm asking you about?"

You're just not going to say it?

Am I asking about the thing you want to say?

Upon hearing that, Xu Damao's brow furrowed involuntarily.

Yu Haitang asked: "I'm asking you about that job I introduced you to, how is it?"

That is, the job at the Demolition Office, how's it going?

How much work have they given you?

Xu Damao gave a cold snort, spoke irritably:

This is a bunch of despicable conduct.

They're acting all high and mighty there.

After begging grandparents and grandparents-in-law, they finally gave me over ten thousand square meters.

Work will start after the Spring Festival.

Yu Haitang: "That's still because you can't endure enough."

If they give you more, you can't handle it, you won't finish the task on time.

Xu Damao nodded and said:

I think the same.

We need to have our own team.

I plan to recruit people after the Spring Festival.

If we had a few hundred people.

This work would be easy, right?

Yu Haitang nodded and said:

That's more like it.

You should be thinking about this; this is the real business.

Don't waste all day thinking about trivial courtyard matters; it's boring.

Xu Damao nodded.

Soon after.

He suddenly frowned and said to Yu Haitang:

No, if I don't say it today, I'll feel really uneasy inside.

Just beg me, beg me to say it, okay?

As long as you beg me, I'll tell you; hurry up and beg me, ah.

Yu Haitang smiled, shook her head, and said:

I refuse to.

Just now someone said they wouldn't say it even if begged.

How long has it been?

Can you have a bit more ambition?

Xu Damao snorted coldly, put down the steamed bun in his hand, and said:

Then heat this steamed bun up.

This steamed bun is so hard it's about to break my teeth.

Yu Haitang laughed and said: "No, you're using this trick?"

Then hurry up and say it, come on, say it.

If you don't say it today, I still won't agree.

Xu Damao said with a smug look:

I won't say it.

Yu Haitang: "......"

On the other side.

Qin Huairu's home.

Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong were sitting at the table when Shazhu walked in carrying a net bag with several lunch boxes.

Come on, come on, it's time to eat, time to eat.

Qin Huairu looked up and excitedly asked: "Isn't this you found a job?"

Shazhu took out a lunch box from the net bag while saying:

I found one.

But the situation is so-so, hard to talk about.

Yi Zhonghai: "We've been waiting for you, hurry up and sit down."

Shazhu nodded and said: "Today's spread is lavish, just two kinds of peanuts."

Qin Huairu: "These were bought by Eldest Uncle and Second Elder."

Hearing that, Shazhu's smile froze instantly.

He glanced at Liu Haizhong, then at Yi Zhonghai, and said irritably:

No, you're slapping my face, aren't you?

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai and laughed:

When we bought them, we knew you'd change your expression.

And you really did change.

Shazhu said with a straight face: "No more next time, heard?"

Liu Haizhong chuckled, nodded, and said:

Fine, fine, fine, no more next time, isn't that okay?

Shazhu looked at Qin Huairu and said: "Qin Huairu, you also remember, no more next time."

Qin Huairu said somewhat unhappily: "I said it, what can be done?"

I can't just throw away these vegetables, can I?

Regarding Shazhu's act of slapping his own face to look fat, Qin Huairu was certainly unhappy.

Shazhu sat down and said: "With just that pension, my own expenses aren't enough."

How could I let you spend money, right?

Hey, I say, how come a few people are missing from our group?

Qin Huairu: "Mom and Second Aunt went to the toilet."

Third Uncle said he had something to do and will come back later.

Shazhu nodded, looked at Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, lowered his voice, and asked:

Eldest Uncle, Second Elder, how did the matter you asked us to investigate turn out?

Yi Zhonghai clicked his tongue and said: "We investigated it thoroughly."

"He......"

At that moment, Liu Haizhong's dry cough sounded.

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly stopped and cast his gaze toward him.

Liu Haizhong looked at Shazhu, and said seriously:

"Nothing at all, nothing at all, ah."

"I, San Da Ye, now, I'm telling you about practicing the sword."

"Practicing every day, that swordsmanship is actually quite good."

At this point, he pointed at Yi Zhonghai, and while Shazhu was dazed, continued:

"I, I and Lao Yi, the two of us are also learning together."

"This is really fun."
