Chapter 265

"Chen Tian hasn't returned to this courtyard in ten years. What use are you, you dog? You do things for others, and they don't even give you a bone!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi's cursing became increasingly vicious, and she even started cursing Chen Tian as well.

However, she felt a bit of schadenfreude, thinking that Yan Yan Bugui had worked so hard to curry favor with Chen Tian, yet hadn't gained any benefits from him at all!

But what Jia Jia Zhangshi didn't expect was that Yan Yan Bugui hadn't just gained a few benefits in these ten years!

He had reached the position of vice-principal at Hongxing Elementary School, and his current pension level was on par with the principal's. Moreover, relying on collecting rent all these years, he had earned more than double his salary!

Not to mention that whenever Chen Tian entrusted him to handle things in Sijiucheng, there was quite a bit of money involved.

Yan Yan Bugui was now the wealthiest family in the courtyard, and the reason he came to handle Jia Jia Zhangshi's affairs was simply to restore peace to the courtyard!

However, seeing Yan Yan Bugui stop talking, Jia Jia Zhangshi felt as if she had won!

Having suffered so much in the countryside, Jia Jia Zhangshi was obsessed with the idea of staying in the courtyard to live!

After all, as long as she could stay in the courtyard, Sha Zhu would naturally solve her food and drink problems, and she could finally return to the days of having food brought to her mouth and clothes to her hands!

In these ten years, if she didn't do farm work, she wouldn't even have food to eat, so she truly never wanted to return to the countryside again in her life!

"Nothing to say, right? Sha Zhu, if you don't want me to call the police, then honestly clear out your house and let me move in!"

"And I must see that money today. This matter won't be settled without 100 yuan!"

"I want to live in the house, and I want the money, do you hear me? Otherwise, just wait for me to call the police!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi became increasingly arrogant, feeling that Sha Zhu had absolutely no way out.

And the fact was indeed so; Jia Jia Zhangshi was so old that Sha Zhu really didn't dare to lay a hand on her. If he killed her, he would be finished.

If Jia Jia Zhangshi ran off to call the police, his 500 yuan would go down the drain again; it was a completely lose-lose situation!

Sha Zhu had just returned and had already offended many people in the courtyard; Yan Yan Bugui naturally wouldn't lend him money!

And Yi Yi Zhonghai had just taken out so much money, so naturally, he couldn't lend him another cent!

But the situation was just like this; if he lost 500 yuan because of Jia Jia Zhangshi, Sha Zhu's life would truly be over!

"Fine, fine, fine, I promise you. Isn't it just moving in? I'll let you move in. Can I find a way to get 100 yuan now? Stop shouting here!"

"What good will it do you to call the police? If you get me sent to the police station, won't you have to go back to the countryside to suffer obediently?"

Sha Zhu finally had to compromise; he could only go to Xu Xu Damao to find a way for that 100 yuan!

Otherwise, if things continued like this, he would truly have no other way!

Although Xu Xu Damao said today that he had invested a lot of money, he had so many famous watches and gold chains on him, so he should still have a way to come up with 100 yuan.

[Missing context in source, implied: He should have a way.]

Jia Jia Zhangshi was satisfied now. Staying in the courtyard to live, having someone to support her, and getting 100 yuan—her retirement was finally settled!

"Consider yourself sensible. Why don't you take me in? Let me see what kind of good house you, bastard, have made!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi was so proud, feeling that her methods were truly ruthless; just a little threat and her good days were coming!

Now, no matter what she lived in, once she had 100 yuan in hand, she could eat whatever she wanted every day.

However, as soon as she walked in, Jia Jia Zhangshi was dumbfounded. Where was this a house for people to live in? It was piled high with all sorts of junk, and even the bed was just temporarily put together with a few wooden boards!

"You live in such a broken house? With 500 yuan, don't you know how to live in a good house? I'm not living in this ghost place!"

As soon as Jia Jia Zhangshi came in, her face became extremely ugly, complaining about this and that, clearly unwilling to live here.

However, Sha Zhu really wanted to slap Jia Jia Zhangshi to death right now. If it weren't for the fact that his business was still with Xu Xu Damao, he would have kicked Jia Jia Zhangshi out long ago!

"Fine, don't be angry. Don't we have no money on hand right now? In a few days, when I have money, I'll definitely find you a big house to live in!"

Sha Zhu was suppressing his anger and could only agree, but looking at the extremely arrogant Jia Jia Zhangshi, he really wanted to slap her face hard twice.

"Consider yourself sensible. Why don't you hurry up and get the money back? Are you waiting for me to go to the police to make you take the money out?"

Seeing the wine and meat Sha Zhu had bought back, Jia Jia Zhangshi swallowed her saliva, picked it up, and stuffed it into her mouth, clearly having not eaten meat for I don't know how many days!

Sha Zhu felt heartbroken watching this; he hadn't even eaten two bites of the wine and meat himself before it was ruined by Jia Jia Zhangshi!

However, Sha Zhu sighed and could only bite the bullet and go to Xu Xu Damao's house to find a way!

Xu Xu Damao's alcohol tolerance was poor to begin with, and after drinking with Sha Zhu and Yi Yi Zhonghai, his head was still dizzy. He had just lain down on the bed and hadn't even closed his eyes to sleep when Sha Zhu pushed the door open and walked in.

Xu Xu Damao thought Sha Zhu was here to deliver money again, so he didn't even sleep and hurriedly climbed off the bed.

However, as soon as he looked at Sha Zhu, he felt something was wrong; he hadn't been this panicked even when borrowing money from loan sharks!
