Chapter 73

“Seeing Shazhu’s intentions are truly too malicious!”

“It really is a case of knowing a person’s face but not their heart!”

“On the surface, he acts like he cares for and looks after Bang Geng, but who would have thought that behind his back, he was scheming to get rid of him!”

“He really is two-faced!”

“From now on, we must be on guard against Seeing Shazhu, lest we be schemed against by him!”

With this kick, Xu Damou sent Seeing Shazhu straight into the cesspit.

Jia Jia Zhangshi lunged at Seeing Shazhu like a madwoman: “You harmed my grandson! You deserve a miserable death!”

“Zhang Zhang Dama, I didn’t! I really didn’t!”

At this point, Seeing Shazhu knew he absolutely could not admit to it.

As long as he didn’t confess and there was no evidence, no matter what others said, it would just be hearsay.

But if he were to admit it, not only would his reputation be ruined, but he would also be resented by Qin Qin Huairu.

“Sister Qin! I really didn’t incite Bang Geng!”

Seeing Shazhu shouted at Qin Qin Huairu: “I treat Bang Geng just like my own son! How could I possibly harm him!”

Xu Damou laughed loudly: “Hahaha… Seeing Shazhu is trying to be a father to Bang Geng.”

Jia Jia Zhangshi’s fury grew even more intense, and with one swipe of her claws, she left five scratch marks on Seeing Shazhu’s face.

“You still want to be a father to my eldest grandson? I’ll scratch you to death, you beast!”

Qin Qin Huairu, unwilling to lose Seeing Shazhu’s support, reached out to pull Jia Jia Zhangshi back:

“Mom, don’t be impulsive, there might be a misunderstanding here.”

Jia Jia Zhangshi glared at Qin Qin Huairu with venom: “You’re still speaking up for Seeing Shazhu!”

“Are you thinking of remarrying? Thinking of marrying Seeing Shazhu? As long as I’m alive, don’t even think about it!”

Upon hearing this, Seeing Shazhu was overjoyed, and his entire fury vanished into thin air.

Qin Qin Huairu whispered: “Mom, our family needs Seeing Shazhu’s support; even if there is a grudge, we can settle it later.”

Jia Jia Zhangshi calmed down immediately, glaring at Seeing Shazhu with resentment:

“Seeing Shazhu! Regardless of whether what Bang Geng said is true or false, you are involved in Bang Geng stealing things!”

“So you must pay the ten-Brother Yuan compensation on Bang Geng’s behalf.”

Seeing Shazhu was already feeling guilty, and fearing that Jia Jia Zhangshi would pester him and cause a scene, he readily agreed:

“I’ll pay it for Bang Geng!”

Seeing Shazhu hurried home to get the money, then handed it to Cao Cao Weiguo with resentment.

“You villain! You bully a widow and an orphan; sooner or later you will face retribution!”

Cao Cao Weiguo pulled back the angry Song Song Yulan and sneered with contempt:

“Seeing Shazhu, I advise you to watch yourself!”

Originally, he had considered the favor Seeing Shazhu did by helping with the wedding banquet.

But since this Seeing Shazhu was courting death by looking for trouble, there was no need for him to consider any favors.

The elderly and troublesome Jia Jia Zhangshi was hard to deal with.

But dealing with a Seeing Shazhu like you was as easy as pie.

Cao Cao Weiguo took Song Song Yulan home, and the residents dispersed one after another.

The Jia household was left in a complete mess.

Qin Qin Huairu felt heartbroken for Bang Geng and kept wiping away her tears, truly looking miserable and pitiful.

The curses from Jia Jia Zhangshi’s mouth never stopped, as if they were the endless waters of the Yellow River.

Seeing Shazhu wanted to comfort Qin Qin Huairu, but feeling guilty, he dared not approach.

Because it was indeed his idea for Bang Geng to steal the chicken.

He just hadn’t expected Bang Geng to act so quickly and be so capable at it.

And he certainly hadn’t expected the matter to blow up so severely.

Seeing Shazhu looked at the Cao household with resentment: “Cao Cao Weiguo, you villain.”

“If you hadn’t reported it, Bang Geng wouldn’t have been caught!”

“Just you wait! Sooner or later, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Steel Rolling Mill

In the workshop, Qin Qin Huairu was struggling to assemble parts.

Although she was already a mother of three, her charm was moving, and her plump, graceful figure could not be hidden by her work clothes.

Everything that should be full was full, everything that should be curved was curved, and everything that should be large was large.

Coupled with her fair skin and beautiful face, she stood out from the crowd at the steel rolling mill and had many admirers.

Right now, many male workers were stealing glances at her, wishing they could drill their eyeballs right into her bosom.

Regarding these fiery gazes, Qin Qin Huairu was not shy; instead, she felt secretly pleased and proud.

This was her charm!

Qin Qin Huairu hogged the limelight, which made the other female workers very unhappy.

“Qin Qin Huairu, I heard your son was caught for stealing a chicken!”

“It’s said that it was even Director Cao’s chicken!”

“You really need to discipline your son well; he dares to steal chickens at such a young age!”

“Stealing a needle when young leads to stealing gold when old; you can’t be careless about this!”

“I also heard that your son stealing the chicken was incited by Seeing Shazhu; is that true?”

“I heard from Xu Damou that Seeing Shazhu wants to kick your son aside and then marry you.”

“Qin Qin Huairu, your charm is quite something!”

The female workers spoke one after another, shaming Qin Qin Huairu completely.

The male workers were also listening with interest; this story was full of twists and turns and was truly juicy.

Son steals chicken!

Lover incites it!

Widow remarries!

This set of love, hate, and grudges was as exciting as a storybook.

“No chatting during work hours!”

The workshop director scolded with a straight face, and the workers immediately shut their mouths.

“Qin Qin Huairu, stop what you’re doing and take the parts at the door to the second workshop.”

Hearing the workshop director’s words, Qin Qin Huairu widened her eyes in surprise.

Qin Qin Huairu said: “Director, one box of parts weighs over forty jin; I can’t move that!”

The workshop director said with a cold face: “Others can move it, but you can’t? Why are you so special in this workshop? If you can’t do it, then go home and be a lady; the workshop doesn’t keep idlers.”

Qin Qin Huairu said: “But the parts in my hand are only half-assembled.”

The workshop director sneered: “Give it a rest. You assemble ten parts, and nine are unqualified; don’t waste time here. Go do some light, simple work that you’re capable of.”

The workshop director’s words immediately made the female workers feel happy and satisfied.

One female worker chimed in: “That’s right, Qin Qin Huairu, not only is your assembly slow and sloppy, but more than half are unqualified every time, and in the end, we have to rework them with you.”

Another female worker said: “The director is right; you should just go do simple work; it’s easy and you won’t make mistakes.”

Qin Qin Huairu said indignantly: “What’s easy about it! Those parts are heavy as hell; I’m not moving them!”

A female worker said angrily: “We all move them often; why are you so special? If you’re so delicate, why come to the factory? Wouldn’t it be better to go home, listen to music, and eat melon seeds?”

The workshop director had a dark face: “Qin Qin Huairu, look at you, you’ve caused public outrage. Go move the parts, or else resign and go home!”

Qin Qin Huairu looked at Yi Yi Zhonghai with a pitiful expression, her eyes filled with pleading.

But circumstances were stronger than the person; how could Yi Yi Zhonghai dare to favor Qin Qin Huairu at this time?

Although he was a respected level-eight bench worker, he didn’t dare provoke public anger.

Everyone else could do the heavy lifting; why were you the only one acting special?

In the past, because of Yi Yi Zhonghai’s favoritism, Qin Qin Huairu had never done heavy work.

But now that Yi Yi Zhonghai couldn’t help, Qin Qin Huairu had to compromise.
