Chapter 407: What's the problem with being uncultured?

~7 min read 1,256 words

Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Shazhu's brows furrowed involuntarily.

He always felt it wasn't quite like that.

That's right.

He didn't really believe what Liu Haizhong said.

Liu Haizhong also noticed that.

Shazhu couldn't help but believe it.

If he didn't believe it, it would ruin the good thing he had going with Yan Bu Gui and Yi Zhonghai.

So.

He hurriedly continued:

"If you don't believe me, just ask Huairu, ah."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu quickly turned his gaze to Qin Huairu.

Liu Haizhong continued: "We just told her that a moment ago."

Qin Huairu nodded and said: "Yeah, those three old brothers are together every day."

Shazhu nodded, looked at Liu Haizhong, and said: "That's a role model, huh."

"Over eighty, the elders have raised the banner of a role model."

"Alright, you guys, I really underestimated you."

Having said that, he raised his wine cup and continued:

"Come on, let's have a drink, to toast the elders raising the banner of a role model."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Both of them were a bit dazed.

They never expected Shazhu to be so easily fooled.

Shazhu grinned and said:

"Come on, you guys, why are you just standing there?"

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai came to their senses this time, each raising their cups, clinking with Shazhu, then tilting their heads back and draining them in one gulp.

Just then, Yan Bu Gui's voice suddenly came:

"Don't leave without me, wait for me."

As his voice arrived, so did he.

As his words fell, Yan Bu Gui walked in, followed by San Da Ma.

Shazhu smiled, pointed to the seat beside him, and said:

"Yo, San Da Ye has arrived, we've been waiting for you."

"Come, come, sit here, sit here."

Yan Bu Gui sat down.

San Da Ma walked over to Qin Huairu's side and asked:

"Huairu, guess who came looking for us?"

San Da Ma: "The neighborhood office."

Hearing that, Yi Zhonghai involuntarily let out an "ai."

San Da Ma sat down, faced Yi Zhonghai, waved her hand, and said:

"What's with the 'ai'?"

"This is a good thing."

"The neighborhood office wants to commend Shazhu and his wife."

"Helping others for joy, respecting the elderly and loving the young, a model family."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu immediately furrowed his brows and said:

"Isn't this just messing around?"

Liu Haizhong let out a light sigh, gave San Da Ma a sideways glance, and said irritably:

"Look, here comes another meddlesome person."

Upon hearing that, San Da Ma instantly felt a bit gloomy.

She thought this was a good thing.

Why aren't Shazhu and Liu Haizhong happy about it?

Shazhu put on a stern face and said:

"I'm going to lay out the unpleasant truth first."

"Elders, please settle this matter for me quickly, ah."

"If it can't be settled..."

Saying that, he pointed to several elders and continued:

"If it can't be settled, then from now on I won't bother with you guys."

Hearing that, Yi Zhonghai and the others couldn't help but furrow their brows.

Qin Huairu thought for a moment, then said:

"Yes, if that's the case..."

Having said that, she gave Shazhu a push and continued:

"We'll divorce tomorrow."

"If you dare to ignore the elders."

Shazhu shouted, sticking out his neck:

"Divorce, what's that procedure called again?"

"It's called a divorce agreement, ah."

"If you get it done, if it's not settled by tomorrow, it takes effect immediately."

San Da Ma frowned, looking at Yan Bu Gui and asked:

"No, I, I was just being meddlesome?"

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly, looking at San Da Ma and said unhappily:

"Look at you, this matter of yours, really…"

Saying this, he looked at Yi Zhonghai and continued:

"I'm telling you, I, I and Lao Yi, we two are at the street office."

"We've been muttering about this for a long time."

"Finally we have some leads."

"You say you just, just messed it up for us."

Yan Bu Gui snorted, glaring at Liu Haizhong and said unhappily:

"Serves you right!"

"Who let you hide it from me?"

Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh and said:

"Alright, alright, alright."

Saying this, he raised his wine cup and continued:

"No need to say anything."

"Come, let's drink."

Shazhu raised his hand to stop him: "Don't drink first, don't drink."

"State your stance, first state your stance, state a stance."

Yi Zhonghai: "If I go back and make a trip, wouldn't that settle it?"

Shazhu nodded satisfactorily, looked at Liu Haizhong and asked:

"Second Elder, what about you?"

Liu Haizhong accompanied with a smile: "This, this isn't just an advanced one, right? You say."

"You say, in this courtyard, isn't it?"

"If you let others take a look, that would be good, right?"

Upon hearing, Shazhu furrowed his brows.

He picked up Liu Haizhong's wine cup in front of him, about to smash it to the ground.

"Still want to drink?"

Liu Haizhong hurriedly said: "Alright, alright, alright, I won't handle it, isn't that enough?"

"What a big deal this is."

Shazhu happily nodded and said:

"That's right."

"Now that's correct, right?"

Saying this, he returned Liu Haizhong's wine cup to him, then raised his own wine cup and said:

"Come on, let's drink."

"What's the point of being an advanced one?"

"I'd rather be a laggard."

"Back then in our factory, we were the laggards."

"We are the typical laggards."

Saying this, he clinked cups with Yi Zhonghai, took a small sip, and then continued:

"What am I doing this for?"

"To scare children."

"How does Madame Yang of the front courtyard scare her child?"

"Do you know?"

"When the child cries, that is, if you cry again, I'll go find Shazhu and tie you up, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.

Qin Huairu laughed: "I heard the Old Qi family also scares children this way."

"So you actually have this function."

Shazhu laughed: "Of course."

"A plague god."

Yan Bu Gui: "Calling someone a plague god sounds awful."

"Should be called Zhong Kui."

Upon hearing this, Shazhu couldn't help but frown.

Yan Bu Gui continued: "Zhong Kui is that black-faced figure with bared teeth and claws posted on doors before liberation."

"So-called, to fight ghosts, one relies on Zhong Kui."

Shazhu nodded and asked: "For fighting ghosts?"

He immediately shook his head, looked at Liu Haizhong, and then said:

"He's not a good person either, right?"

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Come, let's drink."

Yan Bu Gui: "Wait, wait."

"Shazhu, your lack of education is truly terrifying."

"You, do you know who Zhong Kui is?"

"Turns out he's a handsome man, he..."

Shazhu interrupted impatiently: "I don't care who he is; what's wrong with being uneducated?"

"Being uneducated, yet you still support us elders?"

"You're educated, so why don't you try supporting us all?"

Yan Bu Gui unhappily said: "No, what do you mean?"

Shazhu: "It's meaningless, just that meaning, the literal meaning."

Liu Haizhong: "Not afraid of being uneducated, just afraid the plague god is educated."

Shazhu: "Who? Who is the plague god? Is it San Da Ye?"

Yan Bu Gui: "What plague god am I?"

"You, it's you—you just said you were the plague god."

Shazhu: "Exactly, I'm the plague god—who am I afraid of?"

"Don't say so much, San Da Ye; having education isn't necessarily useful."

"Nowadays, making money is the true way, right?"

"I may lack education, but I can make money."

"Look, I've supported you all."
