Chapter 690
He would take it whenever he caught a chance.
He had filled the lunchbox to the brim.
One had to know that life in the countryside was already hard.
They didn't get to eat meat many times throughout the year.
Zhou Hukang had almost emptied his savings to host this banquet.
He had run his legs off and talked himself hoarse just to find a few chickens.
Seeing the lunchbox full of chicken, their eyes turned red.
The groom even grabbed a kitchen knife on the spot: "I'll chop off your hands!"
"Spare me!"
"Director Cao, save me!"
"It was Sha Zhuzi! Sha Zhuzi told me to take it!"
Fatty was so scared he peed himself on the spot, kneeling on the ground and hugging Cao Weiguo's leg.
He only wanted to eat some meat; he didn't want his hands chopped off.
Cao Weiguo lifted his leg and shook Fatty off: "Stop being so damn disgusting!"
Sha Zhuzi glared at Fatty, that spineless coward, with a dark face:
"Bullshit!"
"When did I tell you to take it!"
"You ungrateful dog!"
"You did something wrong and now you're splashing dirty water on me, your master!"
"I'll kick you to death!"
Sha Zhuzi "sacrificed his own kin for the sake of justice" on the spot, landing several kicks on Fatty.
This made Fatty howl in pain, and he hated Sha Zhuzi to the core.
"Stop!"
Zhou Hukang said with a livid face: "Master He!"
"Whether or not this has anything to do with you,"
"I won't hold you accountable for the sake of Accountant Sun from the commune."
"Take your apprentice and get out now!"
"Don't ever come to Changshui Village again!"
"We don't welcome you two!"
"Fine, I won't come!"
"As if I care!"
Sha Zhuzi left angrily with long strides.
Fatty scrambled away, crawling and running.
Zhou Hukang said with a gloomy face: "What a piece of work!"
The groom wanted to chase after them in anger, but was held back by the village head, Li Dasheng:
"Don't cause trouble on such a happy day."
Zhou Hukang waved to everyone: "Everyone, keep eating and drinking!"
The groom said indignantly: "Why did Accountant Sun introduce a thief instead of someone decent!"
Zhou Hukang said to Cao Weiguo: "Thanks to Director Cao's reminder, otherwise these things would have been stolen by two thieves."
Cao Weiguo sighed: "It's my fault for caring about face and not telling you clearly."
"This Sha Zhuzi used to be a cook at our factory and lived in the same courtyard as me."
"He often took leftovers home, and later he even had the audacity to steal pork."
"I didn't expect that even after the factory punished him, he still hasn't changed his bad habits."
"Not only did he not change, but he also corrupted his apprentice."
"Disgraceful! Truly disgraceful!"
Zhou Hukang quickly said: "What does his lack of character have to do with you?"
"It was Accountant Sun and I who failed to judge him correctly!"
"I'll go talk to Accountant Sun tomorrow."
"Don't let such scum ruin the mood."
"Let's go back and keep drinking!"
Cao Weiguo was pulled back to the table, and they began drinking and exchanging toasts.
Sha Zhuzi and Fatty didn't receive any real punishment, but their reputations in Changshui Village were ruined.
Villagers who had originally wanted to hire Sha Zhuzi to cook had no interest left at all.
With his reputation gone, Sha Zhuzi wouldn't be getting any more work in Changshui Village.
In this day and age, no family was wealthy, and no one wanted to be taken advantage of by a thief.
On the way back, Fatty asked for money with a frustrated face:
"You should give me today's pay now!"
Sha Zhuzi glared at Fatty: "You still have the nerve to ask for money?"
Fatty didn't back down: "Why shouldn't I! I did the work, so I should get paid!"
Sha Zhuzi said with a gloomy face, taking one yuan from the red envelope and throwing it at Fatty:
"Look at how useless you are!"
"Why did I ever take you as an apprentice!"
Fatty caught the yuan and widened his eyes: "Just one?"
Sha Zhuzi snapped: "How much more do you want?"
"You messed everything up today, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet."
"Giving you one yuan is already an act of mercy!"
"If you're not satisfied, don't take it at all."
Fatty said angrily: "How did I mess it up!"
"Who would have thought the host would send people to watch us!"
"And you were the one who told me to take the chicken!"
"And you kicked me several times!"
"Do you know how much those kicks hurt!"
Sha Zhuzi cursed with a dark face: "You ungrateful bastard, you still have the nerve to talk!"
"You sold me out, your master, before anything even happened!"
"Kicking you a few times was light!"
"Besides, I kicked you as a ruse to deceive them!"
"Otherwise, your hands would have been chopped off, you useless bastard!"
"Not convinced? If you're not convinced, get lost!"
"And don't even think about me bringing you along to get rich in the future!"
"You ungrateful dog!"
Fatty was so embarrassed and angry that his face turned red: "You! You! You're bullying me too much!"
Sha Zhuzi sneered: "Did I say anything wrong? If I hadn't taught you the craft, would you be where you are today?"
"I taught you how to cook and brought you along to make money, but look at what you did today!"
"You betrayed me in front of so many people!"
"It's a miracle I didn't beat you to death!"
Fatty clenched his fists tightly, and finally lowered his head in frustration to admit his mistake:
"Master! I know I was wrong! I have no backbone!"
"But I was really scared at the time!"
"They were going to chop off my hands!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to be a cripple!" ===== CHAPTER 692 =====
