Chapter 69
Qin Huairu sighed deeply, glanced at Shazhu, and said, "This Bang Geng, you've spoiled him."
Shazhu said indifferently, "Look at what you're saying."
"Bang Geng is still little, he's such an adorable child—how could you bear to disappoint him?"
Speaking, she shook her head and then said:
"Anyway, I can't bear to disappoint him."
Qin Huairu: "He's still little?"
"He's already ten."
"The neighbor's Damao is the same age, but they know to pick up bottles and wire to exchange for money to help the family."
Shazhu: "Hmph, that's Liang Ladi being heartless!"
"Liang Ladi, I don't even know what to say about her."
"Anyway, she became a widow for a reason."
"I'll just make a bet with you, ah."
"In the future, our Bang Geng will definitely have better prospects than Damao."
Just then, Lin Shengli took Zheng Guangming's hand and walked in, with Zheng Juan following behind.
Qin Huairu looked and was dumbfounded.
Shazhu was also dumbfounded.
They never expected Lin Shengli to actually bring Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming.
What does this indicate?
It shows that Lin Shengli's relationship with Zheng Juan is not ordinary.
This instantly dashed their hopes.
Shazhu likes Zheng Juan, while Qin Huairu misses Lin Shengli.
How could they not be disappointed?
"How come? Not welcoming?"
Seeing Qin Huairu and Shazhu staring at each other, not speaking, Lin Shengli smiled and asked.
"No, no, of course we welcome you."
"I just didn't expect you to bring little sister Zheng Juan."
Qin Huairu even called her "little sister".
In her view, Lin Shengli must have taken a liking to Zheng Juan.
If she could get on good terms with Zheng Juan, then basically she could get on good terms with Lin Shengli.
Of course.
She still felt very disappointed.
She had already thought about it before.
Taking advantage of tonight's gathering, she would hint to Lin Shengli; if Lin Shengli didn't take a liking to her, she planned to introduce Qin Jingru to Lin Shengli.
This was also what she thought was the best option she could think of at the moment.
As long as Qin Jingru ends up with Lin Shengli, then she would be related to Lin Shengli, and also to Yi Zhonghai.
She didn't know much about Lin Shengli's character, but she was very clear about Yi Zhonghai's.
By then, Yi Zhonghai would surely continue to support her family, and might even increase the assistance.
Last night Shazhu said something about getting Lin Shengli drunk, framing him, accusing him of having ill intentions toward her, so that everyone in the courtyard could see Lin Shengli's true colors.
Afterwards Qin Huairu thought it over carefully and felt this method was too risky and not very realistic.
Zheng Juan smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said: "Qin Jie, sorry, I can't say that."
"But Shengli Ge insists I come, and even bring Guangming, really causing you trouble."
Shengli Ge?
It seems the relationship is not ordinary.
Qin Huairu suppressed her inner displeasure, forced out a smile, and said:
"Little sister Zheng Juan, what are you saying?"
"Really, if you keep saying that, big sister I might get angry."
"I'm so happy you could come, I can't even keep up."
Shazhu: "Yeah, yeah, little Juan."
Speaking, Shazhu bent over, used his own clothes to wipe the chair, "Come, little Juan, sit here."
Zheng Juan: "Brother Zhuzi, no need, you sit; I'll sit with my brother."
Qin Huairu: "Mm, anything is fine, everyone hurry and sit down."
"The dishes are getting cold."
"Shazhu, quickly pour wine for Shengli, and also pour a cup for little Juan."
Zheng Juan hurriedly waved her hands and said:
"Qin Jie, I don't drink alcohol."
Qin Huairu: "It's fine, having a cup is fine, I usually drink too."
Lin Shengli: "You can't force drinking; if you can drink, drink; if you can't, just eat."
Qin Huairu: "Yes yes yes, I'll go get rice for little Juan and Guangming right away."
Zheng Juan: "Qin Jie, let me do it."
Qin Huairu: "You're a guest, how can I let a guest serve rice? Just sit, ah."
Zheng Guangming has been afraid of Shazhu since childhood, and he didn't dare to speak.
He kept silently eating the vegetables his sister put on his plate.
Lin Shengli: "Guangming, Shengli Ge told you before, from now on I won't let anyone bully you."
"As long as someone bullies you, just tell me, and I will definitely stand up for you."
Zheng Guangming: "Thank you, Shengli Ge."
Lin Shengli: "When I have time someday, I'll take you to the hospital to check your eyes; I think they can still be cured."
Zheng Guangming exclaimed excitedly: "Shengli Ge, is it really true?"
Lin Shengli: "Yes, it's true; Shengli Ge will definitely do his best to cure your eyes."
Zheng Juan moved: "Shengli Ge, this, this will cost a lot of money."
Lin Shengli laughed: "It's fine, money isn't a problem."
Qin Huairu and Shazhu exchanged a glance, both full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Actually, Lin Shengli accepted Qin Huairu's invitation mainly to use this opportunity to let everyone, especially Qin Huairu and Shazhu, know that Zheng Guangming will be under his protection from now on, and no one may bully him.
From now on, every household must keep their children in check.
If anyone dares to bully Zheng Guangming again, don't blame him for being impolite.
First to be warned are Shazhu and Qin Huairu.
Bang Geng used to bully Zheng Guangming quite often.
Qin Huairu kept trying to find topics to chat about, so the drinking gathering didn't run dry.
With talking and laughing, some even believed they were friends.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.
As soon as Bang Geng returned, the atmosphere was instantly ruined.
"Blind bastard! You actually dare come to my house and eat my meat!"
This was the first thing Bang Geng said upon entering.
Upon hearing that, Zheng Guangming's tears immediately flowed.
What he despises most is someone calling him a blind person to his face.
Seeing this, Zheng Juan also felt heartbroken.
She let out a soft breath and hugged Zheng Guangming.
Lin Shengli frowned and stood up.
He is now going to lecture Bang Geng in front of Qin Huairu and Shazhu.
Then he directly flipped the table, and they would not drink this wine anymore.
He had just said that if anyone dares to bully Zheng Guangming in the future, he won't be polite.
How long has it been?
If he doesn't make a show of it, where would he put his face?
And just as he stood up, Qin Huairu pulled Bang Geng over and slapped him across the face.
With a "pa" sound, Qin Huairu also used force, instantly dazing Bang Geng, stars flashing before his eyes.
Qin Huairu usually dotes on Bang Geng.
Not to mention hitting, she rarely even scolds him.
Yet now she actually hit him for Zheng Guangming's sake.
He cried out sadly, wailing.
Xiao Dang and Huaihua were just about to walk in; seeing this, they also hurriedly stopped, their bodies shrinking back.
Qin Huairu pointed at Bang Geng and scolded:
"You've really turned the world upside down!"
"How have I usually taught you?"
"I've told you over and over not to scold Guangming, not to scold Guangming, yet you just won't listen."
"It's all because your grandma and dad spoiled you rotten!"
Bang Geng touched his burning cheek and cried:
"I hate you!"
"I'll tell my dad and grandma that you're seducing men."
