Chapter 216

At the same time, Sha Zhu lived in the courtyard, casually occupying some space in one of He Yushui's dilapidated warehouses, and built a bed with a few wooden boards.

He was still fantasizing about waiting for Xu Xu Damao's business to be completed to get his 500-plus yuan. If he could triple it, he would have nearly 2,000 yuan!

Jia Jia Zhangshi was also truly relentless; she now understood that she had to suck Sha Zhu dry until he died.

The more Sha Zhu listened, the greater the anger in his heart grew. If she really reported him to the police, his 500 yuan would go down the drain!

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? I said I would find a way to give you the money later. Can't you wait until I make money from this deal and come back?"

"I just borrowed such a large sum of money; who else would lend me so much money at once? Can't you understand human speech or what?"

The more Sha Zhu said, the more he wanted to slap Jia Jia Zhangshi twice. He had said everything, yet she acted as if she couldn't understand human speech.

He had already pressed his thumbprint in the Pigeon Market; if he went to borrow money again, how could others possibly lend it to him?

After all, he had nothing here except a name. Being able to borrow 200 yuan was already quite good!

"I don't care about all that! Anyway, I must see the money today. If you can't borrow money, then just wait to go to the police station!"

It was just that Jia Jia Zhangshi had heard this kind of talk from Sha Zhu too many times. Every time he said he would give money, in the end, she didn't even see a hair.

But now, she only thought that getting the money into her hands was the absolute truth. As long as she didn't see the money, Sha Zhu would definitely have to go to prison.

This time, Sha Zhu was completely stunned. He didn't expect that in these ten years, Jia Jia Zhangshi's brain had become much sharper; she wasn't as easily fooled as before!

"Jia Jia Zhangshi, Sha Zhu, you are arguing here again. I remember you don't even live in this courtyard anymore!"

"It's been ten years already. If you want to argue, go outside and argue; don't affect others. It's been ten years; can't you just let go of those old, rotten things from the past?"

Yan Yan Bugui also rushed over. He didn't expect that after ten years, he would actually see Jia Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu again.

And these two were still the same as before; as soon as they met, they started fighting. Jia Jia Zhangshi only thought about extorting money from Sha Zhu, and Sha Zhu only thought about how to get rid of Jia Jia Zhangshi.

"Yan Yan Bugui, what does it have to do with you, you bastard! My suffering all these years is inseparable from you too!"

"You bastard, why didn't you give me my house back then? My son is already dead; this house should rightfully be mine!"

"Why did you rent this house to others? And you didn't give me a single cent. It was you, this beast, who harmed me!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi was now completely like a mental patient, scolding whoever she saw. After Yan Yan Bugui came over, she started scolding Yan Yan Bugui directly.

She actually thought that her house should have been given to her after Jia Jia Dongxu died, yet Yan Yan Bugui had rented it out!

"Jia Jia Zhangshi, don't you know whose house this is? It belongs to Engineer Chen. Others are legal and compliant; why can't they entrust me to rent it out?"

"And I said you are no longer people of this courtyard. This isn't the past. If you argue here and affect everyone, it's against the law. When the time comes, I'll call the police and you'll all have to go to the station for detention!"

Yan Yan Bugui was extremely impatient at this moment, knowing that reasoning with Jia Jia Zhangshi was just looking for trouble for himself.

He only wanted to fool Jia Jia Zhangshi away quickly so that he could have some peace in the courtyard.

"Why are you driving me away? Who said I don't live in this courtyard? Sha Zhu is my husband; wherever he lives, I live. I am also a person of the courtyard now; why can't I argue?"

"Stop being arrogant here. Do you really think your position as Uncle has any use? Aren't you just a dog for Chen Tian?"

However, the first sentence Sha Zhu said directly stunned Xu Xu Damao!

"Xu Xu Damao, can you lend me some money? That old bastard Jia Jia Zhangshi found out I was back from somewhere and actually ran here to threaten me!"

"She told me now that if I don't give her money, she'll go to the police. Now all the money I have is with you. If she goes to the police, and the police find out about our smuggling ship business, then our money will be finished!"

Sha Zhu didn't hide anything and told Xu Xu Damao everything!

When Xu Xu Damao heard this, he really wanted to die. He had originally thought that Sha Zhu's 500 yuan was a free gift to him!

He could give Sha Zhu as much money as he wanted later; even if he couldn't give out 500 yuan, it was still up to him!

But if the smuggling ship matter was leaked by Jia Jia Zhangshi, then all his savings would be completely finished!

If he had known things would turn out like this, Xu Xu Damao would never have agreed to let Sha Zhu get involved!

"...What are you doing? Didn't you and Jia Jia Zhangshi have no relationship long ago? How could she find you here now?"

"Do you know that if our business is found out by the police, let alone making money, I might even have to go to the station for a few days?"

"If I lose such a large sum of money, who would dare to do business with me in this life? Don't harm me, you bastard!"

Xu Xu Damao now also knew the seriousness of the matter, knowing that if Jia Jia Zhangshi wasn't handled well, the rest of his life would be over!

"I really had no other choice. I don't know where Jia Jia Zhangshi found out I was back in the courtyard. I can only appease her at my place for now and come to you to borrow money!"

"Think of a way. Lend me 100 yuan first, and you can deduct it from my money later, okay?"

Sha Zhu was extremely helpless at this moment, but given the current situation, he could only borrow money from Xu Xu Damao!

Xu Xu Damao also didn't expect Jia Jia Zhangshi to be so greedy, asking for 100 yuan right off the bat. He couldn't even scrape together 20 yuan now!

After Xu Xu Damao got Sha Zhu's money, the anxious Xu Xu Damao invested it all at once, leaving only 20 yuan for living expenses!

However, the current situation didn't allow Xu Xu Damao to make any other plans. Xu Xu Damao gritted his teeth and had no choice but to give his leather bag and gold chain to Sha Zhu!

Although the chain was thin, it was still made of gold, and plus the expensive leather bag, if he put it in a pawn shop, he could at least get one or two hundred for it!

"Take this chain and bag to the pawn shop. Shut Jia Jia Zhangshi's mouth first. She absolutely cannot go to the police, do you hear me?"

"If she goes to the police, our lives will be over. If you don't want to be a poor wretch for the rest of your life, you better pay attention!"

"Give Jia Jia Zhangshi whatever she wants. If you dare to let her go to the police station, Yi Yi Zhonghai and I will both have to jump into the sea with you!"

Although Xu Xu Damao felt the pain, he also knew that he absolutely could not let Jia Jia Zhangshi go to the police.

"Good, I know. Our business here will take about a few more days. I really get annoyed whenever I see that old bitch!"

Sha Zhu also gritted his teeth and agreed. He really couldn't control himself; he just wanted to know the specific time to see when he wouldn't have to be a grandson anymore!

"It depends on the weather. If the weather is good, three or four days will be enough. If the weather is bad, it will take a week!"

"No matter what, you play the grandson for a week for me first. Don't make any mistakes, do you hear me?"

"If because of your damn 500 yuan, I end up being a poor wretch for the rest of my life, I will definitely kill you!"

Xu Xu Damao was also helpless in his heart. If he had known things would turn out like this, he would never have agreed to let Sha Zhu join!

Now that a Jia Jia Zhangshi who hadn't been seen for ten years had suddenly popped up to stir things up, Xu Xu Damao's heart tightened!

Xu Xu Damao really felt that this smuggling ship trip was somewhat unsafe. If any accident happened, it would be a big problem!

And Xu Xu Damao had talked about the Lou family more than once while drinking with Yi Yi Zhonghai just now. Lou Lou Xiaoe's family business was so big now; if Lou Lou Xiaoe just said one word, his business trip would definitely be safe and sound.

Watching Sha Zhu leave, Xu Xu Damao also made up his mind. Since he had invested so much money this time, no matter how much he didn't want to go to Lou Lou Xiaoe, he had to go find her to think of a way.

Even now, Xu Xu Damao still thought that as long as he shamelessly pestered Lou Lou Xiaoe and threatened her, she would definitely give in.

As long as he had the Lou family's signboard over his head, his smuggling ship would be a steady profit, and he would never have to worry about anything else happening!

But now, things were just like this, and it didn't allow Xu Xu Damao to think too much!

Sha Zhu took the gold chain and leather bag and hurriedly ran to a time-honored brand a few streets away, pawning both items!

However, seeing Sha Zhu's anxious look, the boss also lowered the price. He only pawned them for a total of 143 yuan!

Sha Zhu was heartbroken now. Giving 100 yuan to Jia Jia Zhangshi meant that almost all the remaining money would have to be deducted from his own share later!

But having no choice with the rascal Jia Jia Dongxu's mother, Sha Zhu could only give the money to Jia Jia Zhangshi!

When Jia Jia Zhangshi saw the 100 yuan in Sha Zhu's hand, she was really drooling. She didn't know how many years it had been since she had seen such a large sum of money!

Jia Jia Zhangshi directly took the 100 yuan into her hand, dipped her finger in saliva, and counted it frantically.

The familiar feeling was simply too comfortable; she had forgotten how many years it had been since she had enjoyed this!

Jia Jia Zhangshi was now full of food and drink, and her hands were covered in oil. While counting the money, she was humming a little tune. That look was simply too comfortable!
