Chapter 67: Marry One, Get a Free Big Oil Bottle—Are You Willing?

Yi Dama originally had no fondness for the Jia Family people, including Qin Huairu.

Now Lin Shengli has come, and over the past two days Jia Zhangshi has been even more over the top.

She also grew even more disgusted with them.

Lin Shengli smiled slightly and said, "Go, why not go?"

I want to see what kind of intentions Shazhu and Qin Huairu have.

Yi Dama: "Alright, then you need to be careful; Shazhu and the Jia Family people are not easy to deal with."

Lin Shengli: "Hmm, Aunt, you can rest assured."

Lin Shengli came to the backyard, and just then Xu Damao walked out of his home's gate.

Seeing him, Xu Damao quickly put on a smiling face and greeted, saying:

"Section Chief Lin has come; I was just about to come find you."

Lin Shengli: "You're looking for me for something?"

Xu Damao: "Nothing, nothing."

"I just want to have a good drink with you."

"Now that you've been promoted to Section Chief, let me celebrate for you."

"I've already had my wife prepare the dishes."

Saying this, he made a 'please' gesture toward his own home, then continued:

"Better to be timely than early; come, come, come, Section Chief Lin, please."

Lin Shengli: "Damao, you're one step late."

"I have already agreed to meet Qin Huairu and Shazhu."

"They also invited me to drink tonight."

Xu Damao widened his eyes: "Qin Huairu and Shazhu?"

"Where to drink?"

Lin Shengli: "Jia Family."

Xu Damao: "Then you definitely cannot agree."

"Qin Huairu must have seen you're handsome and wants to seduce you."

"These Jia Family people are definitely not easy to deal with."

"Shazhu is also not easy to deal with; maybe he's just waiting to do something nasty."

Lin Shengli laughed and said, "How do you know that?"

In fact, he had already guessed that the drinking gathering of Qin Huairu and Shazhu was very likely a treacherous banquet.

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, he also had an epiphany.

Xu Damao: "You see, Jia Zhangshi has been arrested, and Jia Dongxu is working the night shift again tonight."

"Why would Qin Huairu invite you for a drink at this time?"

"Besides wanting to seduce you, I can't think of any other reason."

Saying this, he looked around, lowered his voice, and continued:

"I can already imagine the outcome."

"By then Shazhu will definitely get you drunk, then frame you, saying you seduced Qin Huairu and such."

"By then, even if you jumped into the Yellow River, you couldn't wash it clean."

"Section Chief Lin, you've just arrived, maybe you don't fully understand yet."

"This Qin Huairu sure hasn't lacked in seducing men lately."

"Just for a bite to eat."

"I've been seduced by her before."

"This woman, anyone can seduce her; as long as there's benefit, she'd even dare to seduce a ghost."

Lin Shengli laughed and said, "Really?"

Xu Damao: "Of course, but I won't fall for that."

"My wife is no worse than her."

"It's only people like Shazhu, clueless about femininity, stupid men who would fall for that."

"Um, Section Chief Lin, would you like to come to my place to talk?"

Lin Shengli nodded and said, "Then let's have tea."

Xu Damao: "No, you still need to go over there for drinks, right?"

Lin Shengli: "Hmm, I'm preparing to bring Zheng Juan and Guangming."

Xu Damao was stunned, then immediately gave Lin Shengli a thumbs up:

"Impressive, Section Chief Lin is too impressive."

"As expected of a college student, no wonder Factory Director Yang Changzhang and Deputy Factory Director Li value you so much."

"Bringing those two, Qin Huairu and Shazhu won't be able to succeed."

"By the way, Section Chief Lin, you're not interested in Zheng Juan, are you?"

Lin Shengli retorted, "What do you say?"

Xu Damao: "Zheng Juan is not bad, but her brother is blind, that's a lifelong burden."

"Marrying her, that's like getting a free big oil bottle—do you accept?"

Xu Damao has always harbored designs on Zheng Juan.

If Lin Shengli were to get together with Zheng Juan, that would basically end his hopes.

He really didn't dare to go provoke Lin Shengli.

Lin Shengli laughed and said: "Damao, if you keep being so long-winded, we won't be able to drink this tea."

"Time waits for no one."

Xu Damao: "Yes yes yes, no more talk, Section Chief Lin, please come inside."

Having said that.

While walking into the house, he shouted loudly:

"Xiao'e, Xiao'e, quickly bring out my precious fine tea leaves; Section Chief Lin is coming to our house for tea."

Xu Damao did it on purpose.

He wanted everyone to know that Lin Shengli's relationship with him was not shallow.

After that, if Shazhu wanted to bully him, he'd have to think twice.

Liu Haizhong's home.

Liu Haizhong was sitting at the table drinking a little liquor when he heard Xu Damao's shout; he frowned, turned his head, and asked Second Aunt, who stood to the side:

"You, you heard what Xu Damao was shouting, didn't you?"

Taking advantage of the moment Liu Haizhong turned his head, Liu Guangtian immediately stretched his chopsticks toward the fried egg in front of Liu Haizhong.

Second Aunt glared at Liu Guangtian: "Guangtian, this is for your father to have with his drink."

Liu Haizhong hastily turned back and slapped Liu Guangtian's chopsticks with his own.

Liu Guangtian's hand shrank back, and he put on an apologetic smile, saying:

"Dad, let me eat a little to curb my craving, just a bit."

Liu Haizhong snorted, picked up the last piece of egg on the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then.

While chewing, he looked at Liu Guangtian.

The provocation was quite strong.

Liu Guangtian pursed his lips, lowered his head, and silently gnawed on his steamed bun.

Liu Haizhong took a sip of liquor and muttered to himself:

"How come Xu Damao even invited Lin Shengli for tea?"

Second Aunt: "Not just tea; maybe they'll drink alcohol too."

"Who is Lin Shengli? A college student who's become an official—how could Xu Damao not try to curry favor with him?"

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh:

"Tomorrow we'll invite him too."

Deaf Old Lady's home.

Yi Zhonghai was watching the Deaf Old Lady eat noodles.

Although the Deaf Old Lady doted on Shazhu, Shazhu usually didn't take much care of her daily life.

On the other hand, Yi Zhonghai often brought her meals.

Look, today he brought noodles again.

"What did Xu Damao just shout?" the Deaf Old Lady asked after taking a bite of noodles, raising her head to Yi Zhonghai.

"Shengli went to his place; he had Xiao'e brew tea."

"Ah, how could Shengli get mixed up with someone like Xu Damao?"

"Zhonghai, you ought to say something to Shengli, so he isn't led astray by Xu Damao."

"Well, it's all my fault; I haven't yet had a chance to tell Shengli what kind of person Xu Damao is."

"By the way, Zhonghai, I heard Shazhu borrowed money from you?"

"Yeah, as soon as he opened his mouth he asked for five hundred."

"You don't want to lend it?"

"Shazhu disappointed me yesterday; he made me a meal but then raised conditions I couldn't meet."

"If you don't agree, he gets all huffy."

"He's just like that, but as an elder, don't quarrel with him too much."

"We've watched him grow up; although he's a bit fierce, his heart is truly good."

"We should tolerate him and give him a chance to grow."

"He really ran into a snag today."

"If we don't help him, who will?"

"This time he offended the leaders of your factory."

"I know, I didn't refuse either; I just hesitated a bit, and he said I was burning the bridge after crossing the river, that once I had Shengli I wouldn't care about him anymore—this attitude, Old Lady, I also have a temper."
