Chapter 46: Yi Zhonghai's Attitude Makes Shazhu and Qin Huairu Uncomfortable

~7 min read 1,259 words

Shazhu stared at Lin Shengli with a gloomy expression.

After all these years, no one has dared to speak to him like that.

But he can't beat Lin Shengli.

Moreover, Lin Shengli is Yi Zhonghai's nephew.

Qin Huairu also warned him, telling him not to provoke Lin Shengli any further, lest he completely anger Yi Zhonghai.

Everything should be considered carefully.

Otherwise, he can't bear the resentment in his heart.

Even if he can't beat him, he should strike first.

Qin Huairu walked over and said:

"Shazhu, you misunderstood Shengli; he didn't hit Bang Geng."

"Quickly apologize to Shengli."

Qin Huairu does this only to flatter Lin Shengli.

Shazhu gave her a glance, lifted his head high, and said nothing.

Although he is Qin Huairu's bootlicker, he still cares about face.

Lin Shengli cursed at him, and he still has to apologize?

Will he still be able to get by?

Who will be afraid of him in the future?

At this moment.

Guan Yushan and the others walked out of the house, including Zheng Juan, who was assisting in the back kitchen, and Yi Dama.

Deaf Old Lady shouted, "Shazhu, how can you be so indiscriminate?"

"Does this little rabbit brat have any right to act shamelessly?"

"You, everything's fine, but your temper is too quick; you should investigate thoroughly before drawing conclusions."

"Listen, quickly apologize to Shengli."

Shazhu took a deep breath in secret, faced Lin Shengli, and said:

"I'm sorry, Section Chief Lin."

"I wrongly blamed you."

Shazhu isn't stupid; now Yi Zhonghai seems cold toward him, and if he offends the Deaf Old Lady, his days will become difficult.

Moreover, earlier there was no way out; now Deaf Old Lady has given him a way out, and if he still doesn't apologize, he'll truly be foolish.

Qin Huairu: "This is all Bang Geng's fault."

"Sorry to everyone."

"I'll take him back right now."

"I caused trouble for everyone."

But it's easy to say; Bang Geng is unsatisfied, how could he willingly go back?

He kicked and hit Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu is also helpless.

Shazhu pointed at Bang Geng angrily: "You little rabbit brat, you even dare to hit your mother?"

Bang Geng roared: "I hit, so what?"

"If you have the guts, hit me."

Shazhu, furious, rushed forward and grabbed Bang Geng's arm.

Qin Huairu frowned and said: "Shazhu, don't touch him; he's still young. Just help me carry him back."

Liu Haizhong's home.

Liu Haizhong put on last year's Spring Festival clothes and sat upright in the main hall.

Second Aunt stood behind him.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stood on one side.

He came home a bit late from work today.

As soon as he got home, Second Aunt told him that Yi Dama had just arrived and wanted to invite him to Yi Zhonghai's house for a meal.

Seeing he hadn't returned, she said they'd let Yi Zhonghai come later.

So he immediately had Second Aunt fetch last year's Spring Festival clothes and made Second Aunt and the two sons stand.

So Yi Zhonghai could see their family atmosphere.

To intimidate Yi Zhonghai, so that he might become self‑aware and step down for the worthy.

That's right.

He wants to be the Eldest Uncle of the courtyard.

He has always not submitted to Yi Zhonghai.

With no son, how can he lead the whole courtyard toward a happy path?

Suddenly.

Liu Guangtian couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Haizhong glared at him, coughed, and asked:

"You, you kid, what are you laughing at?"

Liu Guangtian suppressed his laugh and said:

"Dad, sorry, I really couldn't help it."

I said, isn't Eldest Uncle coming soon? Why are you making such a fuss?

Liu Haizhong: What do you mean by "making a fuss"?

What do you know?

We just want you, Eldest Uncle, to know that our family has rules.

Only a family with rules is qualified to be Eldest Uncle. Understand?

Liu Guangtian: How do you know Eldest Uncle's family has no rules?

Liu Haizhong frowned and asked:

You, you dare to question me?

Is your skin itchy again?

Liu Guangtian pursed his lips and said nothing more.

From childhood, he and his younger brother Liu Guangfu have often been beaten by Liu Haizhong.

Even though he's now in his twenties, he still has some shadows.

Even now, whenever Liu Haizhong is dissatisfied, he still lashes out at him.

Seeing him say nothing, Liu Haizhong, satisfied, turned his head and asked Second Aunt:

You just said that Yi Zhonghai's nephew is an engineer at our factory?

Second Aunt: Yeah, a college student; Factory Director Yang personally brought him here.

And they said he's a deputy section chief, a leader.

Upon hearing, Liu Haizhong instantly felt that Liu Guangtian and his brother were no longer appealing.

Just then, Yi Zhonghai walked in.

Liu Haizhong hurriedly tidied his clothes.

One must maintain a good sitting posture.

"(He) Eldest Uncle has arrived." Second Aunt and her three greeted Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai responded with a nod, then said to Liu Haizhong: "Old Liu, let's go."

Liu Haizhong, pretending not to know, asked: "Where to?"

Yi Zhonghai: To my place for a couple of drinks.

Liu Haizhong stood up and asked: "Are the dishes ready?"

Yi Zhonghai: They're not ready yet; can't you go to my house first to drink tea, eat snacks, and chat?

Liu Haizhong, satisfied: There are snacks too? Good, good.

He had his hands behind his back, took three steps in two, outpaced Yi Zhonghai, and walked out.

Hey Lao Yi, heard your nephew has come?

Yeah, so you get to have drinks tonight.

I heard your nephew is what kind of engineer or leader?

Hmm, this kid is capable.

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai's voices faded away, Liu Guangtian let out a long sigh and said:

My dad is really good at pretending.

Liu Guangfu chimed in: Indeed, a fine fellow; you have to put on an act in front of Eldest Uncle, even showing off your new clothes.

Second Aunt gave them a sideways glance and scolded: "Shut up, how dare you talk about me like that?"

When Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong reached Zhongyuan, Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, and Shazhu were standing at the Jia family gate.

Seeing them, they also hurriedly greeted them.

Liu Haizhong raised his hand, waved at them, with a full smile.

Those who didn't know would think it was a leader inspecting.

Yi Zhonghai just nodded and kept walking without stopping.

This also made Qin Huairu and the others feel a chill in their hearts.

Yi Zhonghai used to be so good to them; how did he change so quickly?

After Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong went into the house, Qin Huairu then whispered:

Shazhu, aren't you going over?

Shazhu, looking sullen: What am I going for? Nobody called me.

I, Shazhu, also have face.

Qin Huairu sighed lightly and said: I was still thinking of pointing you to bring some extra for the kids.

Looks like that's not going to happen.

Shazhu: Then let Dong Xu go; he's Eldest Uncle's disciple.

Jia Dongxu: It's all made by my mom; otherwise my master wouldn't treat us like this.

Qin Huairu glanced back at the house and whispered:

Dong Xu, since you're not here today, ah, Mom's words are really harsh, and it's no wonder Eldest Uncle is angry.

Shazhu: Eldest Uncle is such a good person; I feel it's definitely Lin Shengli meddling in the middle.

Hmph, if you make me angry, I'll split his belongings.
