Chapter 418: Mortgaging the House to Borrow Money

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Shazhu frowned involuntarily and said unhappily:

"If you don't drink, then forget it. Should I bring up again the matter of you guys picking up trash? I say, ah."

Upon hearing that.

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly.

Yan Bu Gui said weakly: "Well, then let's drink."

Shazhu: "That's right."

"Let's just drink, okay?"

"Come on, let's drink."

After clinking cups, Shazhu raised his neck and drank it all in one go.

After putting down the cup, he thought for a moment and said:

"Actually, there's nothing much to say about this."

"It's obvious."

"This time, Teacher Ran took a liking to my skill at Sichuan cuisine, so she wanted to invite me back."

"As for me, I actually have a scale in my heart."

"If I don't agree, you three old guys might still secretly go pick up trash."

"That's something I cannot agree to."

"So, I must make money now."

"But, going back, how to put it? Although Ma Hua is the Head Chef and also my most loyal disciple, I still feel a bit uncomfortable."

"How did Ma Hua become my leader?"

"But speaking of which, if we don't make money, you might end up secretly picking up trash again."

Qin Huairu nodded and said:

"Exactly."

Shazhu: "So you agreed?"

Qin Huairu thought for a moment, opened her mouth, wanted to say something but ended up saying nothing.

Jia Zhangshi: "I think Shazhu should go back."

Liu Haizhong: "I also think we should go back."

Yan Bu Gui: "I agree too."

Qin Huairu let out a soft sigh and said: "Alright."

"Since everyone agrees, I agree as well."

Shazhu grinned and nodded happily.

Actually, Qin Huairu had already agreed in her heart.

She had also already figured it out.

Anyway, she doesn't like Shazhu.

What she likes is Shazhu's money.

As long as Shazhu can make money, even if he ends up with Teacher Ran, she doesn't mind.

One year later.

One evening.

As soon as Shazhu returned, he handed a bankbook to Qin Huairu and said:

"The happy home you've been dreaming of, I've decided—we'll do it."

Qin Huairu frowned, looking at the bankbook, and asked:

"What is this?"

Shazhu grinned and said: "You can't read? Or you've never seen a bankbook?"

"Open it, take a look—it'll surely dazzle your eyes."

Qin Huairu opened it and, unable to help herself, exclaimed:

"Twenty, twenty thousand?"

"Where did you get this? My goodness, so much money."

Shazhu gave a silly laugh and said: "Don't worry about it, just use it with peace of mind."

"I've told you before, we're not short on money."

Qin Huairu was extremely excited.

She had no idea that Shazhu had taken out a loan from Lin Shengli by mortgaging his two houses.

If after one year he doesn't repay the principal and interest to Lin Shengli, those two houses will become Lin Shengli's.

A few days later.

Qin Huairu walked out of her house, and San Da Ma, who was working in the courtyard, asked:

"How's the renovation going?"

Qin Huairu happily said: "Good, the work is being done well."

Just then, Old Lady Yang walked over and asked Qin Huairu:

"Qin Huairu, is that thing you mentioned last time really going to work out?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said: "If you're not at ease, let's sign a contract."

Old Lady Yang laughed and said: "Sure."

San Da Ma pointed at Old Lady Yang and said: "I'm not talking about you, Elder Sister Yang."

How come you still don't believe Qin Huairu?

Ah, you, you're just a worrisome name.

You say your man doesn't even have a house anymore.

Your parents-in-law, they also don't want to move out of this big courtyard.

Then just join in.

Also serving your parents-in-law.

Also helping Qin Huairu.

She, she can still shortchange you?

Oh dear, just that little money you paid.

Can it compare to our life?

Old Lady Yang: 'Money, it's really not much.'

I'm not hesitating, am I?

Qin Huairu happily patted Old Lady Yang on the shoulder and said:

Wait until your family joins.

Then Qian Yuan and Zhongyuan will be complete.

Isn't every family supposed to have elders?

San Da Ma let out a long sigh and said:

Now only Xu Damao and Yu Haitang remain in Houyuan.

Hmph, one of these days Xu Damao and Yu Haitang will get their comeuppance.

Then everything will be settled.

Qin Huairu hurriedly said: 'Oh dear, San Da Ma, you can't talk like that.'

That's too harsh.

Yu Haitang is still your relative.

San Da Ma snorted coldly and said: 'What relative? I don't have relatives like that.'

Besides, I heard from my eldest daughter-in-law that Yu Haitang and Xu Damao have recently been quarreling about divorce.

Qin Huairu: 'Someone like Xu Damao, if a woman stays with him long-term, that would be strange.'

San Da Ma: 'Indeed, Xu Damao is a petty person with pus on his head.'

Old Lady Yang: 'Ah, I heard Lin Shengli isn't participating, so what about his house?'

Qin Huairu: 'His family has no elders either, what is he joining for?'

Old Lady Yang: 'How could there be none?'

Aren't they Eldest Uncle and Yi Dama?

Qin Huairu: 'Eldest Uncle and Yi Dama said they're willing to stay with us.'

However, they also said they need to discuss with Lin Shengli.

I reckon Lin Shengli won't agree.

However, that's fine.

If Eldest Uncle and Yi Dama don't join, that's also fine.

Old Lady Yang: 'It's fine, just a bit regrettable.'

If all the houses in our courtyard were used for this happy home, that would be even better.

San Da Ma: 'Indeed, I, my old companion, and Second Elder and them have already discussed it.'

We need to find a time to go together and persuade Eldest Uncle and Yi Dama.

Getting back to the topic, Xu Damao really doesn't do anything human.

Just then, Yu Haitang walked over.

Hey, what are you all chatting about?

San Da Ma hummed and said: 'It's none of your business.'

Upon hearing that, Yu Haitang's brows involuntarily furrowed.

Old Lady Yang: 'How could it be unrelated?'

It's related, it's related.

Yu Haitang asked: 'Related to what?'

Old Lady Yang looked at Yu Haitang and said: 'Yu Haitang, I haven't seen you here, I haven't remembered yet.'

As soon as I see you, I remember.

Yu Haitang asked: 'What did you remember?'

Old Lady Yang: 'I'll tell you.'

Your family's Xu Damao has another woman outside again.

Yu Haitang: 'He's just someone with a record; having that isn't surprising.'

However, everything needs evidence.

Can't just spout nonsense.

Old Lady Yang: 'What you hear is false, what you see is real.'

Yesterday, I saw it with my own eyes.

I went to the furniture market with my husband to look for moving supplies.

Your family's Xu Damao is currently accompanying a little vixen while buying furniture.
