Chapter 577: Shazhu Shows Off, Second Uncle Flexes Power

Sihe Academy

Shazhu is diligently cooking at the Jia residence.

It must be said, his culinary skills are solid.

That stewed old hen smells incredibly fragrant.

It makes the neighbors drool uncontrollably.

"Shazhu really doesn't know how to live a frugal life."

"He starts feasting the moment he gets some money."

"This stewed chicken smells so good."

"He only knows how to suck up to Widow Qin, never thinking to help out the neighbors."

Cao Weiguo and his wife pass through the middle courtyard.

Shazhu holds his spatula and shows off:

"Cao Weiguo! My friend, I'm eating chicken today!"

"Smell that! Isn't it fragrant?"

Cao Weiguo laughs: "The chicken is quite fragrant, but it's a waste to give it to you."

Shazhu is instantly enraged, eyes widening: "Cao Weiguo, are you looking for a beating?"

Regarding Shazhu's threat, Cao Weiguo sneers mockingly:

"What? Want to eat prison cornmeal buns again?"

"You! You're just a dog that remembers the taste of food but forgets the pain of the stick!"

"You!"

Shazhu is so angry his teeth ache.

The neighbors burst into laughter.

Qin Jingru looks at Shazhu with utter disdain.

Aside from cooking, this Shazhu is useless at everything else.

His social standing isn't even as good as Li Ergou back in the village.

Qin Huairu says irritably: "The dish is about to burn, and you still have the mood to bicker!"

Shazhu takes the hint to back down, glaring viciously at Cao Weiguo:

"The tides turn, we'll see about this!"

Cao Weiguo sneers dismissively and pushes his bicycle toward home.

Shazhu stirs the pot angrily, while Qin Huairu shakes her head, speechless.

Qin Jingru looks at Song Yulan, who is walking beside Cao Weiguo, filled with envy.

They are both women from the countryside.

How is Song Yulan's fate so good?

Not only did she marry into the city, but she also married such a capable man.

She doesn't have to worry about food or drink at home, and she even secured an iron rice bowl at the steel rolling mill.

Not only does she have a job, but her household registration has also changed from rural to urban.

She collects a salary on one hand and holds a grain ration book on the other.

If she could live a life like that, she would probably wake up laughing in her dreams.

"Stop looking!"

"No matter how much you look, that Cao Weiguo is a man with a wife."

"If you have the energy to watch Cao Weiguo, you'd be better off chatting more with Shazhu."

Qin Huairu tugs at Qin Jingru: "Shazhu is a good person, and he is sincere toward you."

Qin Jingru curls her lip: "Sister, save your breath, there's nothing between him and me."

Because she knows the relationship between Shazhu and Qin Huairu is not ordinary.

So no matter how sincere Shazhu appears,

And no matter how many good things Qin Huairu says,

Qin Jingru feels disgusted in her heart.

The more Qin Huairu talks, the more disgusted she feels.

Back courtyard

Song Yulan puts down her bag and begins to wash her hands to cook. ===== CHAPTER 579 =====
