Chapter 80: Qin Huairu, Do You Want to Reach the Heavens?

Look, is this human speech?

Holding the hard dishes he brought back from the cafeteria, he makes his own younger sister endure them while he makes noodles.

Hui Zhenjie furrowed her brows, her face full of surprise: "No way?"

"Shazhu, you brought three lunchboxes of food, and you still want to give Yushui noodles?"

Shazhu lowered his head, glanced at the net basket in his hand, and said:

"Oh, I completely forgot."

"But there's no steamed buns or rice either, it's all hard dishes."

"Then, Yushui, here's a box for you; you can eat it as is, that'll fill your stomach enough."

Shazhu originally wanted to give all three boxes to Qin Huairu.

But since Hui Zhenjie said that, if he doesn't hand over a box to He Yushui, he won't have any excuse.

Hui Zhenjie asked: "What about the remaining two boxes?"

Shazhu: "Hui Zhenjie, you also know that Qin Jie's family is very pitiful."

"They're all waiting for me to bring leftovers back home."

"I think, if we can help even a little, that's something."

Hui Zhenjie: "Then you must first ensure your own younger sister is full."

Shazhu: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll definitely make her eat her fill."

He Yushui's heart was like still water.

Is this her only brother she depends on for life?

She let out a low hum and asked:

"Brother, where did the half‑bag of stick noodles disappear to?"

Shazhu: "They're at home, how could they possibly be missing?"

"They were still there when I left this morning."

He Yushui: "Go back and check yourself."

"There's no such thing as stick noodles there."

Shazhu grinned foolishly and said:

"It must be that Bang Geng kid took them."

Hui Zhenjie: "Shazhu, you seem rather happy about it."

Shazhu: "What could I possibly be unhappy about?"

"That shows Bang Geng looks after his family."

"He knows the family has nothing left to eat."

"He understands how to share the burden."

Deaf Old Lady let out a long sigh and shook her head.

Hui Zhenjie: "No, Shazhu, your thinking is very dangerous."

"Taking without asking is theft."

"If you keep spoiling Bang Geng, will he ever have any prospects?"

Shazhu, unconcerned, said: "Hui Zhenjie, you just don't get it."

"Bang Geng knows how to shoulder the family burden, which proves he does have prospects."

"You don't know, whatever he eats is also tightly tied to his sister."

"So, this child has shown promise since he was young."

Hui Zhenjie shook her head, suddenly snatched the net basket from Shazhu's hand, and said:

"Shazhu, I didn't believe what others said before, but now I believe it."

"No wonder Yushui is so thin."

"Look at that family again; everyone is plump and big‑eared."

"You feed them well."

"Today I'll help Yushui once, let her eat heartily."

Having said that.

With Shazhu's face full of gloom, holding He Yushui's hand, they walked toward the tavern.

Walking, he said:

"I'll have that brother buy you plain white mantou."

"You can eat right here with me."

Shazhu, looking at Hui Zhenjie's back, said with a gloomy face: "No, Hui Zhenjie, you, you…"

Deaf Old Lady interrupted: "What do you mean, you, Shazhu? I can't stand watching any longer."

"You say why you're not being ungrateful?"

Shazhu was startled for a moment and asked:

"How could I not be ungrateful?"

"If I were ungrateful, could I bring back that many hard dishes?"

Deaf Old Lady shook her head and said:

"You're an unmarried young man, why are you always thinking of a married woman who already has three children?"

Having said that.

Deaf Old Lady let out a long sigh and walked into the tavern.

Shazhu stood still, furrowing his brows, looking a bit bewildered.

What is going on?

Does the old lady no longer like me?

She never usually says anything bad about Qin Jie.

Ah, truly a woman's heart, a needle in the sea.

He let out a long sigh and headed toward the Siheyuan.

After walking a few steps, he turned back, arrived at the tavern entrance, and shouted inside:

"Rainwater, bro hasn't eaten yet."

"You better not finish it."

"When you're full, bring the dishes home."

Inside the tavern, many people were drinking; they all knew Shazhu, aware that he was Qin Huairu's lapdog, and his relationship with Qin Huairu was ambiguous.

Hearing this, they immediately started heckling.

"Rainwater, bro still wants to give these dishes to Qin Jie."

"Rainwater, you mustn't eat Qin Jie's dishes."

"Shazhu, you're done; you fell for Jia Dongxu's wife."

Hearing this, Shazhu could no longer hold back.

Pointing at the people inside the tavern, he shouted angrily:

"Get lost!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you!"

The crowd, upon hearing that, quickly shut their mouths.

Just kidding!

Shazhu is the War God of this region; when he says he'll fight, he really does.

Seeing that everyone dared not speak, Shazhu finally left.

Before leaving, he shouted again:

"Rainwater, remember, bro really hasn't eaten yet."

Qin Huairu is very stubborn.

Not seeing Shazhu, she didn't want to go back.

Even though her waist and legs were already sore from standing.

"That Shazhu, hum, must be on purpose."

"He even said there was a treat at the factory today; he'll bring back the hard dishes."

"It's all a lie."

She muttered to herself, and suddenly she saw Shazhu's figure; she got excited at once.

However.

When she saw Shazhu empty‑handed, she turned and headed toward the Siheyuan.

Seeing this, Shazhu hurriedly sprinted at a hundred‑meter dash speed toward her.

In the Qian Yuan, he blocked Qin Huairu.

"Qin, Qin Jie, why did you see me and still run away?"

Qin Huairu wore a dead‑pan face, glared at Shazhu, and asked irritably:

"What about the thing you promised me?"

Shazhu: "W‑what thing?"

Qin Huairu: "Just pretend, Shazhu; I've seen through you."

Shazhu knew he couldn't keep pretending.

He grinned foolishly and said, "Qin Jie, you, listen to me."

At that moment, Yan Bu Gui's house door opened, and Yan Bu Gui stepped out.

Qin Huairu nodded at him and headed toward the Zhongyuan.

Shazhu hurriedly blocked her, saying, "Can you listen to me?"

Qin Huairu, with a dark face, said, "I won't listen."

Shazhu pretended to be angry and said, "Qin Huairu, do you want to reach the heavens?"

"You won't even let me speak."

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment.

Shazhu quickly apologized with a smile, "Qin Jie, Qin Jie, listen to me."

"Well, today I brought three boxes of hard dishes: pork, chicken, beef, all hard dishes."

Qin Huairu: "Where are the hard dishes?"

Shazhu: "That... I..."

At this point, seeing Yan Bu Gui approaching, he hurriedly shouted:

"What are you doing?"

Qin Huairu glared at Shazhu, enunciating each word:

"Shazhu, you're too much!"

Having said that.

He forcefully pushed Shazhu away and walked toward the Zhongyuan.

Shazhu hurriedly shouted at her back:

"Qin Jie, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about San Da Ye."

Qin Huairu didn't even turn her head.

Shazhu's face darkened, he turned to look at Yan Bu Gui, who had already walked up beside him, and asked irritably:

"San Da Ye, what are you trying to do?"

Yan Bu Gui laughed: "I, I'm just taking a stroll, what else can I do?"

Shazhu: "No, you're taking a stroll, but this direction isn't right either."
