Chapter 68: Scolding Shazhu Makes You My Friend

Deaf Old Lady let out a sudden long sigh and set the chopsticks down.

Yi Zhonghai furrowed his brow slightly and asked concernedly, "What's wrong, Deaf Old Lady?"

"Is this not to your liking?"

Deaf Old Lady: "Zhonghai, thank you for looking up to this old lady. Without you, I wouldn't know how to go on."

Yi Zhonghai: "Deaf Old Lady, you're being modest; looking after you is my duty."

Deaf Old Lady thought for a moment and said:

"Shazhu just came to see me, and I gave him all my savings."

"But that's still not enough. This kid usually helps the Jia Family, yet he hasn't saved much. Sigh, his mind is just too sharp."

"He says he's still short three hundred yuan, and he's at a loss."

"I think, if you can help him, give him a hand; he's had it so hard."

Yi Zhonghai furrowed his brow again and fell silent.

This old lady is really spoiling Shazhu!

It seems Shazhu is still the most important to her.

All this is moral blackmail over Shazhu, aimed at me.

He says it's not easy for him? He deserves it!

Before, I still thought about letting him retire, and I could tolerate him a bit.

Now Shengli has arrived, and I no longer want to endure it.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai sitting there, silent and seeming deep in thought, Deaf Old Lady let out a light sigh and stood up.

She walked to the cabinet, crouched, took a small box from the bottom shelf, and placed it on the table.

Yi Zhonghai asked, "Old lady, what's this?"

Deaf Old Lady: "Inside is a bracelet, handed down from my ancestors."

"Take a look; if it's worth three hundred yuan, you can take it."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly replied, "Can't, can't."

"Just let me lend Shazhu the three hundred yuan."

Deaf Old Lady laughed, mischievously like a child.

Then.

She tucked the small box into her arms and said with a chuckle:

"Then this bracelet can't be given to you."

"I know you've always been steadfast."

"I trust you now."

Yi Zhonghai gave a wry smile, instinctively glanced at the urinal under the bed, and thought to himself:

"Brother Guan said this urinal is a treasure; now the old lady has a family heirloom bracelet. Looks like she has quite a few treasures."

Lou Xiao'e was very enthusiastic toward Lin Shengli.

She had just seen Lin Shengli scold Shazhu.

If he scolds Shazhu, he's her friend.

Because Shazhu's big mouth is so disgusting.

She's often mocked that she can't lay an egg.

As the saying goes, when you strike a person you don't hit the face, and when you insult, you don't expose flaws.

But Shazhu, when he insults people, always exposes their flaws.

No wonder Lou Xiao'e doesn't like him.

Lin Shengli's impression of Lou Xiao'e is also good.

All the ladies are refined and naturally beautiful.

Even if they wear coarse hemp garments, they're clean and tidy, giving a refreshing feeling.

Xu Damao's ancestral tomb is practically smoking!

To think he could marry such a wife.

Yet he still doesn't know how to cherish her.

And Shazhu…

In the original story, he never missed a chance to mock Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e eventually gave him a son, leaving him an heir.

But he still didn't know how to cherish.

One could say, although Lou Xiao'e has become wealthy, her romantic path is very rocky.

What a tragic fate for a beautiful woman.

"Damao, Xiao'e, thank you for the tea."

"I should be going."

Lin Shengli took a sip of tea, set the cup down, and stood up.

"No, no, no! The dishes are ready; you can drink here." Xu Damao hurriedly stood, trying to keep him.

"Next time, I've already promised Qin Huairu."

"Well, then… okay."

Jia Family.

Bang Geng, Xiao Dang and Huaihua stood aside, eyes glued to the table of fine dishes, occasionally gulping down saliva.

"Mom, I'm hungry." Bang Geng was very stubborn.

Qin Huairu had already given him something to eat just now.

He also promised not to say he was hungry again.

But after a short while, he couldn't hold back again.

Qin Huairu: "Bang Geng, why don't you listen?"

"You already ate just now."

"The guests are coming soon."

"Wait until the guests come, then you can eat, ah."

Bang Geng: "But I'm really hungry."

Shazhu picked up a small bowl, while putting meat in it, he said:

"It's no big deal."

"This is at our own home."

"What's wrong with a kid eating a bit?"

"Come on, Bang Geng, come sit here, I'll give you a big chicken leg."

Shazhu is now very excited and agitated.

Originally I thought Yi Zhonghai wouldn't bother with him, but who knew Yi Zhonghai just brought over three hundred yuan to give him.

Plus the two hundred yuan the Deaf Old Lady gave him earlier, it's enough to compensate Deputy Factory Director Li and Liang Ladi.

The matter settled, he was naturally excited.

Wait until he has extra money, then talk.

Looking at Qin Huairu, then at Bang Geng, Xiao Dang and Huaihua, he momentarily had an illusion.

Qin Huairu is his wife, Bang Geng, Xiao Dang and Huaihua are his children.

Having such a beautiful wife and such lovely children, life is sufficient.

Upon hearing Shazhu's words, Qin Huairu's face darkened: "Shazhu, just indulge him."

"Today is not like before; today we are inviting people to eat."

Shazhu: "It's fine, ah."

Qin Huairu: "No! Put it back!"

Shazhu glanced at Bang Geng, silently put the meat back.

He must listen to Qin Huairu's words.

Bang Geng looked, then immediately wailed and burst into tears.

Qin Huairu has a headache.

Jia Dongxu is on night shift tonight, Jia Zhangshi has been sent to a labor camp.

After Jia Zhangshi was taken away last night, Qin Huairu guessed she wouldn't return soon.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity, she early on told Shazhu that tonight she would invite Lin Shengli to drink.

Lin Shengli is a big thigh, must cling tightly.

All the good dishes are ready, now just waiting for Lin Shengli to come.

If Bang Geng eats first, how will Lin Shengli view it when he arrives?

If he's unhappy, then wouldn't all her efforts be wasted?

Suddenly, Shazhu like a magician, suddenly had an extra cent in his hand.

He raised the money, glanced at Bang Geng, and grinned:

"Bang Geng, as long as you don't cry, this money is yours."

Bang Geng immediately stopped crying.

Shazhu, looking smug, glanced at Qin Huairu and said:

"Look at you, then look at me, educating kids requires the right method."

Qin Huairu gave him a white eye, said unhappily:

"Shazhu, from now on you can't keep indulging him like this."

Shazhu: "It's fine, kids need gradual teaching."

Saying that, he handed the money to Bang Geng's hand, then said:

"Bang Geng, buy candy, you need to give it to your two little sisters to eat, got it?"

Bang Geng: "Hmm, but one cent, we three can't eat many."

Shazhu: "Then I'll give you another cent."

When Shazhu pulled out a stack of money, Bang Geng hurriedly grabbed a piece of money, then ran out jumping.

While running he shouted: "Xiao Dang, Huaihua, hurry up and follow."

Shazhu: "Hey kid, find money, come back to give to your mom, don't spend it all."

Xiao Dang and Huaihua glanced at Qin Huairu, then also ran out.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua gave Qin Huairu a glance and ran out together.
