Chapter 36: Trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, Sha Zhu is stunned

"100 yuan?"

Sha Zhu was stunned.

His marriage fund had already been taken by Chen Tian, so where would he have money?

However, Sha Zhu wasn't afraid of losing the bet.

He had personally placed Jia Jia Zhangshi's lingerie under Chen Tian's bed.

Unless it grew legs and ran away.

Sha Zhu thought about the marriage fund he had painstakingly saved for many years, and his heart was bleeding.

"Sha Zhu's money was all paid to you, where would he have money?"

"Engineer Chen, aren't you making things difficult for Sha Zhu?"

Yi Yi Zhonghai frowned, not knowing why Chen Tian wanted to bet with Sha Zhu.

He thought Sha Zhu had done it flawlessly and that Chen Tian had no idea about their conspiracy.

"That's easy to handle."

"If Sha Zhu has no money and loses, then he can just give me his ancestral cookbook."

Chen Tian smiled.

The cookbook was a family heirloom left to Sha Zhu by He Great Qing; if He Great Qing knew Sha Zhu had lost it, he would definitely beat Sha Zhu to death.

Chen Tian knew Sha Zhu had no money, and he didn't lack these 100 yuan.

Since these animals were plotting against him, they had to pay a price.

Sha Zhu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

It was just a cookbook; he had already memorized it by heart.

Besides, Sha Zhu felt he wouldn't lose at all.

This time, Chen Tian was dead for sure.

No matter if you are a third-grade engineer, you will have to obediently go to jail and eat prison food.

"Fine."

"I agree to the search, but only Qin Qin Huairu can go in alone." Chen Tian sneered.

Sha Zhu was stunned; he didn't expect Chen Tian not to let him in.

A flash of malice crossed Sha Zhu's eyes as he reminded Qin Qin Huairu not to miss any corner.

Qin Qin Huairu understood and walked into Chen Tian's house.

"Chen Tian's life is this good?"

"He just bought furniture and a bicycle, and still has so much money to buy good food?"

Seeing the table full of candies, snacks, oranges, soda, and other things, Qin Qin Huairu was jealous.

She was jealous that Yu Li could enter and leave Chen Tian's house at will.

If it weren't for Jia Jia Zhangshi provoking Chen Tian, maybe she could also be the one cleaning for him.

With so many good things, she could definitely take some home for Bang Geng and the three children to eat.

Qin Qin Huairu shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Chen Tian didn't give her face and even mocked her.

Qin Qin Huairu held a grudge in her heart.

That was why she agreed to Sha Zhu's idea.

Qin Qin Huairu shook her head, stopped letting her thoughts run wild, and began to search in a pretentious manner.

Sha Zhu, Yi Yi Zhonghai, and the others gathered at the door, and seeing so many good things in Chen Tian's house, their eyes all widened.

Yi Yi Zhonghai's monthly salary was 99 yuan, yet he didn't live as comfortably as Chen Tian.

Sha Zhu had a dark face.

He was a cook in the factory, and his life was better than others in the courtyard.

Although he didn't lack food, he had never eaten the things in Chen Tian's house.

Yan Yan Bugui looked at the table full of good things, his eyes almost popping out with envy.

He felt even more that letting Yu Li come to clean Chen Tian's house was a brilliant idea.

Yan Yan Bugui calculated in his heart, wanting Yu Li to find a way to bring some back for him to taste.

Five yuan a month wasn't much; she had to bring something back.

Yi Yi Zhonghai pulled a long face and watched quietly.

He had to maintain his persona of being fair and selfless; as soon as Qin Qin Huairu found the item, he would immediately call people to arrest Chen Tian and send him to the police station.

Lou Lou Xiaoe was a bit anxious.

She had seen with her own eyes Sha Zhu coming out of Chen Tian's house.

Now Qin Qin Huairu said Jia Jia Zhangshi's lingerie was missing, and Sha Zhu said he wanted to search house by house.

Yi Yi Zhonghai actually agreed with Sha Zhu's opinion.

Lou Lou Xiaoe wasn't a fool; she immediately guessed something.

"Search my house?" Sha Zhu said with a gloomy face.

Having lost his family's secret recipes to Chen Tian, Sha Zhu was already burning with rage.

"What, you don't agree?"

"Or is it that you have something to hide?" Chen Tian said indifferently.

He needed to teach this disgusting thing, Sha Zhu, a good lesson today.

"Bullshit!"

"What do I have to hide? Search if you want!" Sha Zhu couldn't stand Chen Tian's goading.

Liu Liu Haizhong stood in the crowd, watching coldly from the sidelines.

"Bite away, the fiercer you bite, the better!"

Liu Liu Haizhong’s two beady, mouse-like eyes stared viciously at Sha Zhu and Chen Tian.

If he wanted to rise to power, these two had to be taken down.

In the Sihe Academy, Sha Zhu only listened to Yi Yi Zhonghai.

He was Yi Yi Zhonghai’s number one thug.

If Liu Liu Haizhong wanted to succeed and become the First Uncle, he first had to ruin Sha Zhu’s reputation.

Chen Tian was a Level 3 Engineer; if Yi Yi Zhonghai fell, he would certainly be the one to take over as First Uncle.

Liu Liu Haizhong hoped these three would tear each other apart, preferably all getting kicked out.

That way, he, Liu Liu Haizhong, could lord over the Sihe Academy and have the final say.

Yi Yi Zhonghai sighed; why was this Sha Zhu so stupid?

He was provoked by Chen Tian so easily.

Yi Yi Zhonghai felt a chill; Chen Tian was terrifyingly composed.

"Sha Zhu, don't you dare get cocky."

"If it’s really found in your house, you’re committing a crime." Chen Tian deliberately goaded Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth in anger: "If you have the guts, go search! If you find it, I'll call you Grandpa!"

Chen Tian shook his head repeatedly, "I’m not going to your house; I find it disgusting." Sha Zhu was so angry he couldn't speak.

"Qin Qin Huairu, you go. Look and see if your mother-in-law's things are in Sha Zhu's house."

Yan Yan Bugui spoke up.

He did this to curry favor with Chen Tian.

After all, he was the Third Uncle of the Sihe Academy; his words still carried some weight.

Qin Qin Huairu was in a difficult position and had no choice but to go to Sha Zhu's house to look.

Even though she knew Jia Jia Zhangshi's underwear wasn't in Sha Zhu's house, Qin Qin Huairu still put on a serious act and started rummaging.

Qin Qin Huairu had originally intended to just go through the motions.

"Huh, what's that?"

Chen Tian stood at the doorway, raised his voice, and pointed at Sha Zhu's quilt.

Qin Qin Huairu froze, and following the direction of Chen Tian's finger, she saw a familiar color peeking out from Sha Zhu's quilt.

Qin Qin Huairu’s eyelids twitched; she had an ominous premonition.

Qin Qin Huairu pretended not to see it and prepared to leave Sha Zhu's house.

"Qin Qin Huairu, what are you doing? Can you be more serious?" Liu Liu Haizhong fanned the flames.

"Exactly. Your mother-in-law lost something, and you aren't looking properly. What are you fooling around for?"

"Watch out, or Jia Jia Zhangshi will come back and whip you."

"Qin Qin Huairu, look properly on Sha Zhu's bed."

Anyone with eyes could see Qin Qin Huairu was just going through the motions, which made them very annoyed.

Chen Tian glared at Qin Qin Huairu, making her heart tremble.

Qin Qin Huairu pulled a long face and lifted Sha Zhu's quilt.

Qin Qin Huairu’s eyes widened in disbelief as she slowly pulled out a piece of underwear.

"This, how is this possible?" Qin Qin Huairu was stunned on the spot.

The entire courtyard fell silent.

"Qin Qin Huairu, what are you holding?"

"Is that Jia Jia Zhangshi's underwear?"

Chen Tian didn't give Qin Qin Huairu a chance and spoke for her.

The next moment, the crowd exploded.

"Look, what was found in Sha Zhu's house!"

"Hiss~ My eyes! What kind of thing is that?"

"Liu Guangtian, are you stupid? That's women's underwear."

"I was just saying, looking at the size, it looks quite sturdy."

"Haha, isn't that Jia Jia Zhangshi's?"

"Sha Zhu, you have this kind of hobby?"

"Holy crap, Sha Zhu, you actually stole Jia Jia Zhangshi's underwear!"

"Sha Zhu, I misjudged you. You're a pervert."

The courtyard was extremely lively.

Everyone was holding their stomachs, nearly laughing themselves silly.

Who would have thought that Sha Zhu, who shouted the loudest, would end up having Jia Jia Zhangshi's underwear found in his own house?

Yi Yi Zhonghai cried out that it was bad and squeezed to the front.

Chen Tian was looking at him with a cold sneer.

"Old thing, daring to plot against me."

"Today, I’ll let you know the power of your Uncle."

Seeing Yi Yi Zhonghai’s panicked expression, Chen Tian felt great satisfaction.

Sha Zhu couldn't believe his own eyes.

He had clearly put it under Chen Tian's bed, so how did it end up on his own bed?

Sha Zhu thought he was hallucinating.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Sha Zhu shouted.

Everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was completely socially dead.

Yi Yi Zhonghai wanted to escape.

He knew this was all Chen Tian's doing.

But he didn't dare show it.

"Hehe, I think Sha Zhu isn't a thief," Liu Guangtian said.

Sha Zhu looked at Liu Guangtian gratefully; he hadn't expected this kid to speak up for him at such a critical moment.

Liu Guangtian loved to watch the chaos.

"Sha Zhu isn't a thief; he's having an affair with Jia Jia Zhangshi."

"Jia Jia Zhangshi didn't dare tell her family, which is why Qin Qin Huairu thought her mother-in-law's underwear was lost."

"Actually, that’s a token of love between her and Sha Zhu."
