Chapter 55: Secret Plot

Qin Huairu deliberately emphasized again.

She wanted Lin Shengli to be polite a bit.

She thought Lin Shengli, who looked refined, should be a polite person.

As long as Lin Shengli was polite, she could go with the flow.

She now regretted it deeply.

Because the cost of installing the glass was a considerable expense.

Whoever broke it should pay for it, especially since Lin Shengli said he'd take responsibility.

She shouldn't have stuck her neck out to curry favor with Lin Shengli and Yi Zhonghai.

Their family can't even make it until Jia Dongxu's salary next month.

Not to mention not being able to hold out; after paying for the glass installation, they might not even be able to keep the pot boiling.

As she said this, she kept staring at Lin Shengli.

How she wished Lin Shengli would be polite, even if it were just Yi Zhonghai.

However.

In the end, she was still disappointed.

Lin Shengli gave a light smile and said, "All right, then I won't be polite."

You really are impolite!

Yi Zhonghai, that old bastard, really doesn't know how to be polite.

No, this expense has to be covered by Shazhu.

Having made up her mind, Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai and said:

"Eldest Uncle, I say what I do."

"I'll cover all the costs for installing the glass."

"But, looking at tonight's incident, my mother-in-law really was wrong."

Jia Dongxu picked up the thread: "Yeah, Master, could we…?"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and interrupted impatiently:

"Enough, no more talk, it's settled like this."

"No one is allowed to plead for Jia Zhangshi anymore."

"Otherwise, I'll treat him as an accomplice of Jia Zhangshi."

Over an hour later.

Shazhu, Qin Huairu, and Jia Dongxu sat at the Jia family's place to discuss countermeasures.

"Dong Xu bro, I actually think it's not a bad thing for Aunt Jia to be locked up."

Jia Dongxu slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Shazhu and shouted angrily:

"Shazhu, what do you mean?"

Jia Dongxu still had a bit of filial piety.

Hearing Shazhu's words, he naturally flew into a rage.

Shazhu put on a appeasing smile and said, "Dong Xu bro, Dong Xu bro, don't get angry, ah."

"Listen to me explain slowly."

Having finished speaking.

Shazhu lifted the cup in front of him, tilted his neck back, and drained it in one gulp.

He felt stifled right now.

Drinking to drown sorrow only makes sorrow deeper.

This Jia Dongxu, damn it, keeps pointing at my eyes for no reason—I think he's never died!

Cursing under his breath, he poured himself another cup and downed it in one gulp.

Originally, he had no rival in this area.

Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangtian and the others had been beaten by him since childhood.

Even those who were a few years older than him.

For example, Jia Dongxu.

The same applied.

He could be called the "big brother" of this area.

Before Qin Huairu married in, even if Jia Dongxu had the protection of a "ghost‑dread" like Jia Zhangshi, whoever provoked him would still get beaten.

However.

After Qin Huairu moved in, everything changed.

At first Jia Dongxu thought Qin Huairu would bring him prosperity, and even the unruly war‑god Shazhu was polite to him.

Until Jia Zhangshi reminded him that whenever Shazhu and Qin Huairu were together, their gaze was always shifty.

Only then did Jia Dongxu start to pay attention and guard against it.

Of course.

Shazhu had always been polite to him, but gradually he also dared to act high‑handed toward Shazhu.

Jia Dongxu frowned, glared at Shazhu and snapped:

"Shazhu, go on and say it."

"If you don't come up with a proper reason, I won't let this rest."

Shazhu set down his cup, put on a full‑face smile, and said:

Qin Jie also said that just now.

We must make sure we do not oppose Eldest Uncle and Lin Shengli again.

Your mother......

Jia Dongxu angrily interrupted: "Your mother!"

Shazhu suppressed his anger and said: "No, I'm talking about Jia's grandma; her temper has been really explosive lately, even more than mine."

Lock her up for a few days, let her calm down; that's not a bad thing, right?

These days we want to find a way to make Eldest Uncle and Lin Shengli forgive us.

Even if we have to act like their grandsons, we must get them to forgive us.

Especially Eldest Uncle, no matter what he says, he's still your master, and our relationship has always been good.

As long as we say more nice things, he will definitely forgive us.

As long as he forgives us, even if Lin Shengli doesn't forgive us, what can he do?

Qin Huairu nodded and said: "Dong Xu, Shazhu is right."

Jia Dongxu: "No, I will definitely rescue my mother tomorrow."

Qin Huairu: "How will you rescue her?"

Jia Dongxu: "I don't know yet; I'll think about it tonight."

All right, Shazhu, you go back first.

Qin Huairu: "Wait, um, Shazhu, I remember you cooked for Master Yang last time, right?"

Shazhu thought and asked: "Which Master Yang?"

Qin Huairu: "Pretend."

Shazhu: "Oh, I remember now, it's the glass seller, right?"

But now he's just a private manager.

Qin Huairu: "But he's still a manager; this shop also has his share."

I mean you know each other, so speak nicely.

Like this, I happen to have something to do tomorrow and want to go back to my parents' home.

Just trouble you to go tomorrow morning and invite him to install glass at Lin Shengli's house, and also install ours while you're at it, okay?

Bullshit!

Around here, who doesn't know Master Yang the glass seller?

Qin Jie, your excuse is too lame, right?

Let me call someone over; in the end it's still just to make me pay.

Shazhu felt very unhappy.

But he still smiled and said:

"Alright, I'll take care of this."

"But you'll have to pay when the time comes."

Naturally he wouldn't actually say that last sentence.

He couldn't bear to disappoint Qin Huairu.

He also didn't want Qin Huairu to think he was stingy.

Moreover, the past few days Qin Huairu had been alone with him, letting him touch her hand.

This also made him excited for several days.

As long as he's willing to invest a bit more, winning Qin Huairu is just a matter of time.

Qin Huairu: "Thanks, Shazhu."

"When I have money in the future, I will definitely repay you."

"Alright, we're going to rest; Shazhu, you go back."

Repay money?

How many times have you borrowed from me? Have you ever repaid?

Shazhu let out a light breath and stood up.

Glancing at Qin Huairu, as he stepped toward the door, he hard swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He's burning with lust right now.

He probably won't be able to sleep tonight either.

Just as he stepped out the door, he heard Jia Dongxu say he was too tired and went to sleep first.

He hurriedly hid.

After Jia Dongxu went into the inner room, he tiptoed to the door and softly called Qin Huairu out.

"What's up?" Qin Huairu followed Shazhu to a dark place and asked.

"Um, uh, no, I, that, I..." Shazhu stammered.

"No, just say what you have to say quickly." Qin Huairu grew impatient: "Dong Xu can't see me; he'll probably suspect me again."

"Can I... never mind, you go back, lest Elder Brother Dong Xu suspect."

Shazhu actually wanted to ask: "Can I touch your hand?"

But the words came to his lips and he changed them.

Qin Huairu: "No, Shazhu, aren't you a man?"

"Stammering."

"By the way, Shazhu, can you lend me some money?"

Shazhu felt depressed; as soon as you came out, he just wanted to touch your hand.

Well, now I didn't get to touch your hand, and I still have to lose money.

"You, how much do you want to borrow?"

"Twenty."

"That much?"

"Are you lending it or not?"

"First tell me what you need that much money for."

"I'm going back to my parents' home tomorrow; I want to buy a chicken, then go to the pigeon market to get some meat."

"Dong Xu has the night shift tomorrow evening; I want to treat Lin Shengli to a meal, improve our relationship—it's better than anything."

Shazhu thought for a moment, then said quietly:

"Then I'll get him drunk and say he's plotting against you?"

"Then let Eldest Uncle and the people in the courtyard see his true colors?"

"So he can't stay in our courtyard?"

Qin Huairu: "What are you thinking? Eldest Uncle couldn't be fooled that easily."

"But we'll see how it goes then."

"Depending on his attitude, if it really doesn't work out, we'll have no choice but to resort to this risky move."
