Chapter 481

Such a large sum of money, even in this era, would be enough for one to live well!

"He Yushui, you damn bitch, now that you have such a big restaurant, you still won't give me a head chef position. You just wait and see; once I strike it rich, I'll make sure you regret it before you even have the chance!"

Sha Zhu, currently living in He Yushui's house, was still cursing her, thinking to himself that after he made his money, he would definitely make her life worse than death.

However, Sha Zhu had only been lying on the bed for a few minutes when he heard sounds coming from outside the Sihe Academy.

And the names being shouted were ones Sha Zhu found familiar no matter how he listened!

"Jia Zhangshi, how did you come back from the countryside? It's been years since anyone has seen a shadow of you; how did you suddenly return to our Sihe Academy?"

"That's right, it really is too coincidental. Sha Zhu only just moved back a few hours ago; you two husband and wife didn't plan this, did you?"

"It's already been 10 years, and I didn't expect the affection between you two to still be this strong. Come, come, come! I'll take you to see the room Sha Zhu just moved into!"

When the crowd saw the old woman at the gate of the Sihe Academy, whose hair had long since turned gray, it took them a long time to realize that this person was actually Jia Zhangshi.

Ten years had passed, and Jia Zhangshi's hair had turned frighteningly white. The wrinkles on her face were many times more numerous than before, and her face was covered in pockmarks and freckles, which, combined with her fat, pig-like face, made her look truly hideous!

"What! That bastard He Yushui is actually back? Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes..."

"I originally came back to find that bitch Qin Huairu, but I didn't expect to be able to see this He Yuzhu. He hasn't made a sound in these 10 years!"

"I really didn't think I'd see him upon returning to the Sihe Academy. Take me to see him, let me see this heartless man!"

Jia Zhangshi was stunned in place for a moment before she reacted, not expecting that her husband, Sha Zhu, had actually returned.

In these 10 years, Jia Zhangshi had not infrequently taken the initiative to look for Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu had been completely silent; after all, he hadn't even dared to show his name or face to anyone.

She had originally heard in the countryside that Qin Huairu was doing big business in the city and had planned to come back to suck Qin Huairu's blood, but she never expected to hear news of Sha Zhu the moment she returned to the Sihe Academy!

Sha Zhu was currently pressed against the door, listening clearly, and felt a chill run down his spine. He still hadn't divorced Jia Zhangshi, and he never imagined she hadn't died in these ten years.

For a moment, Sha Zhu prepared to push the door open and leave, but he didn't expect that the moment he pushed the door open, Jia Zhangshi and the crowd were already standing at the door waiting for him!

At this moment, the husband and wife, who hadn't seen each other in ten years, stared at each other with eyes full of hatred; clearly, both sides hated each other to the bone!

After all, both Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu believed that the reason their lives were so painful and miserable now was because the other had harmed them!

For the ten years Jia Zhangshi spent living under someone else's roof in the countryside, the life she led was truly not fit for a human; she had to endure cold glares every day and ate the worst food.

The key was that Jia Dongxu had died, Qin Huairu was nowhere to be seen, and she hadn't even heard a peep from Sha Zhu!

And Sha Zhu's life was even more miserable, far worse than Jia Zhangshi's. He had lived in a psychiatric hospital for so many years, and in recent years, he had been hiding and working odd jobs, not even having a place to live.

"He Yuzhu, you animal, you finally know how to come back? Where have you been all these years? Do you know how miserable you've made me!"

"Now I don't even have my house, my son is dead, and my grandson doesn't want to see me. This is all because of you, you've made me a childless widow!"

"Tell me quickly, where the hell have you been all these years? Have you gotten my house back for me or not? If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving here..."

Jia Zhangshi was in the state of a shrew cursing in the street, not afraid of Sha Zhu at all!

Even though Jia Zhangshi's hair was gray and 10 years had passed, her style was still as vicious as ever!

Sha Zhu looked at the old woman in front of him who had become so ugly, and felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

"How you've lived is none of my business. Do you think I've had a good time these 10 years? I have nothing to do with you anymore; didn't I make that clear to you before?"

"Your house is gone, your son is dead, and your grandson ran away—what does that have to do with me? Why should I take any responsibility for you!"

"Stop using a chicken feather as a token of authority here. Whether you've become something or not has nothing to do with me. Even if you died and were eaten by dogs, it wouldn't have anything to do with me!"

Although Sha Zhu felt guilty at this moment, after all, he still had a marriage certificate with Jia Zhangshi, he was not forgiving with his words.

He also knew that if Jia Zhangshi blackmailed him now, he wouldn't be able to spend the 2,000 yuan he was about to get properly.

"You bastard, do you know what you're saying? You still have a marriage certificate with me! Don't you think you can just kick me away with one foot. If you don't compensate me for these 10 years, I'll go to the police station and report you!"

"You have a marriage certificate with me, so half of the money you have must be shared with me. Do you really think you can just shake your ass and leave!"

"Do you know what kind of life I've lived? This is all because of you, you're an animal!"

Seeing that Sha Zhu was unwilling to take responsibility, Jia Zhangshi directly brought up the marriage certificate.

"I said don't mention the marriage certificate here. If you hadn't been sent to prison ten years ago, I would have divorced you long ago. Now that there's this opportunity, it's even better; let's just divorce directly."

"Also, don't think about blackmailing me for money or sucking my blood. I don't have that much money for you to suck. My life now is even worse than yours; I don't have a single cent to compensate you!"

"If you're willing to divorce me, then we can part on good terms. Who knows, maybe after you die, I'll even burn a stick of incense for you. Don't look for trouble here!"

Sha Zhu clearly had no intention of taking out a single cent. He had lived a poor life all these years, so how could he possibly give his money to Jia Zhangshi?

"Sha Zhu, if you talk like that, it won't work. How did I hear Xu Damao shouting in this Sihe Academy that you and Yi Zhonghai invested quite a bit of money? I heard you might get at least 500 yuan out of it!"

"No matter what, this Jia Zhangshi is your legal wife. If you don't give her a single cent, you'll have to bear legal responsibility for that!"

"Not to mention that Jia Zhangshi is already at such an old age; you're not even willing to give her money—are you expecting her to drink the northwest wind?"

The crowd at the Sihe Academy was also becoming more shrewd, knowing that if Sha Zhu didn't give Jia Zhangshi money, she would definitely cause a scene in the Sihe Academy.

They had lived a peaceful life for 10 years and didn't want to be disgusted by Jia Zhangshi!

"Good for you, you bastard! You can come up with 500 yuan, but you won't go get my house back, and you won't give me a single cent!"

"I'm going to the police station to report you right now. I want to see if your 500-yuan business can even go through. I'm going to report you for abusing me!"

When Jia Zhangshi heard that Sha Zhu could suddenly produce 500 yuan, her eyes turned red; after all, in these years, the money she could spend each month had never exceeded two yuan.

At this moment, it was still Jia Zhangshi, who had been in the countryside all these years, helping others work in the fields and doing chores!

On weekdays, she couldn't even get a single yuan; being able to have two yuan a month was only during festivals!

Her only thought now was to suck Sha Zhu dry; no matter what, she had to get a sum of money from him, otherwise, it wouldn't be worth the suffering she had endured all this time.

Sha Zhu was also a bit panicked at this moment. What was this? He had learned from Xu Damao that the business they were doing this time was not something glorious. If they went to the police station, the police might find out about their smuggling boat.

Now that 500 yuan had already been invested, if anything went wrong with this business, Sha Zhu would be completely finished for the rest of his life!

"Alright, Jia Zhangshi, try to calm down. No matter what, we are still legal husband and wife, there's no need to make such an ugly scene!"

"To tell you the truth, this 500 yuan is all my savings from the past 10 years, and I even borrowed money from others. Not only do I not have a single cent on me now, but I also owe others money!"

"Don't be so agitated, let's talk things over properly. I couldn't find you, which is why I haven't met with you!"

The frightened Sha Zhu was truly worried that Jia Zhangshi would call the police, so he could only hurriedly appease her emotions.

But clearly, his concession would only make the greedy Jia Zhangshi increasingly arrogant.

Looking at Sha Zhu's posture now, she clearly knew her threat had worked and was thinking about how to get the money quickly.

"Don't give me any nonsense here. If you can borrow the first sum of money, you can borrow the second. If you can get your hands on 500 yuan, what's wrong with giving me 100 or 200!"

"If I don't see 100 yuan today, just wait for me to go to the police station and sue you. You damn animal, I'll let the whole world see your true face!"
