Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2407 Invitation

Jade Pendant's moves may seem full of flaws, but they are enough to deal with Sha Zhu.

All you need to do is tell Sha Zhu to go and question Xu Damao. If word gets out, people will laugh at him, and Sha Zhu won't ask about it.

Not only do they not ask, they even completely forget about it.

He Yuzhu wouldn't have known about this if it hadn't been brought up today.

In the past, when faced with such situations, Sha Zhu would argue with Xu Damao to the very end, and wouldn't stop until he won the argument.

If they can't win an argument with Xu Damao, they'll just take action and beat him up.

This time, however, he was much quieter.

He Yuzhu possessed all of Sha Zhu's memories and noticed the differences.

This kind of foolishness means there's still hope.

Right.

Sha Zhu has already been kicked out by Qin Huairu and Bang Geng. If he doesn't wake up soon, he deserves to be bitten to death by wild dogs.

Xu Damao, as Sha Zhu's lifelong nemesis, also noticed Sha Zhu's change and stopped arguing with him about these things.

"How about this? Let's go to my place. After we eat, Sha Zhu can stay at my place for the night."

If you go back now, Qin Huairu definitely won't open the door for you. Go back to the courtyard house tomorrow.

Sha Zhu, unusually, did not refute Xu Damao's words and chose to acquiesce.

At this hour, the buses and subways outside have all stopped running.

None of the three had a car, so Xu Damao said, "Let's walk back."

Sha Zhu couldn't hold back this time and asked, "Walk back? How long will it take to walk from here to where you live?"

By the time we get to your house, it will be time for breakfast.

Xu Damao said irritably, "If you're not going to walk back, how do you plan to get back?"

Do you still think of yourself as the owner of Shuxianglou Restaurant? A car will come to pick you up whenever you go out.

No, Shuxianglou has changed its name. It should now be called Chuanweiju, and it's owned by Qin Huairu.

"Shut up."

After hearing Xu Damao's words, Sha Zhu's expression turned unfriendly, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

Intimidated by Sha Zhu's imposing manner, Xu Damao dared not speak recklessly.

For decades, the two have been at odds with each other, but whenever Sha Zhu resorts to violence, Xu Damao would never dare to confront him head-on.

As if feeling embarrassed, Xu Damao added, "If you're not going to walk back, you'll have to take a taxi. Do you have any money in your pocket?"

Sha Zhu definitely doesn't have any money in his pocket.

Ever since Qin Huairu started keeping Sha Zhu's salary during the movement, Sha Zhu has never had any money in his pocket.

Every month, Qin Huairu would take all the money he earned, leaving him no money even for food.

Because Sha Zhu is the head chef at the steel mill, he doesn't have to pay for meals.

If Sha Zhu wants money, he can only save it secretly.

But his little scheme couldn't be hidden from Qin Huairu at all.

Qin Huai would clean his house regularly. Whether the house was clean or not after the cleaning was hard to say, but Sha Zhu's pockets were definitely clean.

Especially in the last two years, Sha Zhu has been unable to cook for others, so he has lost his extra income and is now penniless.

Yi Zhonghai was hospitalized and wanted to eat something nice, so Sha Zhu had to ask Qin Huairu for money.

Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao helplessly.

A hint of smugness flashed in Xu Damao's eyes, though it was unclear what he was so proud of.

"Don't look at me, I don't have any money in my pocket either."

My family's money comes from my sister's support; it's barely enough for Jingru and me to eat.

He Yuzhu knew that if he let the two of them keep arguing, it would go on until dawn.

He stepped forward and said, "Stop arguing. I'll call a taxi."

At He Yuzhu's insistence, the three of them got into a taxi and arrived at Xu Damao's house.

Xu Damao's family home is also in Nanluoguxiang, but not in the same alley.

One is in the south, and the other is in the north.

"Da Mao is back. Did you find Sha Zhu?" Qin Jingru opened the door when she heard the noise.

The two eventually got together, and when Xu Damao moved out of the courtyard house, Qin Jingru moved out with him.

"Found him. If I hadn't arrived in time, he would have become braised pork in the mouth of wild dogs." Xu Damao seized the opportunity to belittle Sha Zhu.

Qin Jingru was already used to their interactions and didn't mind at all. Seeing He Yuzhu, she asked curiously, "Who is this young man?"

He Yuzhu quickly introduced himself.

He was also curious as to why Qin Jingru had moved out with Xu Damao.

Sha Zhu's memory is filled with the answers that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu told him.

They said that Xu Damao had deceived Qin Jingru with sweet words.

In Sha Zhu's mind, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's words were like imperial edicts.

Sha Zhu wouldn't suspect a thing.

But upon closer examination, one should realize that there is something wrong with what they said.

Who is Qin Jingru?

Putting everything else aside, the label of being a money-grubber is indispensable.

It's astonishing that someone so greedy would give up the good life at his cousin's house to suffer with Xu Damao.

If there's nothing wrong with this, who can believe it?

Of course, except for Sha Zhu, who believed it.

Qin Jingru quickly invited the group to sit down and poured them tea.

Xu Damao said, "Prepare some food and drinks, I'll have a drink with them."

Qin Jingru looked somewhat troubled: "Our family doesn't have much money left."

Xu Damao was a little embarrassed: "Just go when I tell you to. Even if you're broke, you can still afford to eat, right?"

He Yuzhu looked around the two's room and knew that what Qin Jingru said was probably true.

Xu Damao has been out of work for a long time, so naturally he doesn't have a pension.

Qin Jingru retired four years ago and does receive a pension. However, her pension is not very high.

With that money, we had to pay rent and support ourselves and our spouses, so we were really struggling to make ends meet.

He Yuzhu stood up and said, "How about this? I'll go buy some."

"No way." Xu Damao refused sternly: "How can I let you pay for my things in my own home?"

If word gets out, how will I ever face anyone again?

Sha Zhu opened his mouth, but was too embarrassed to speak. He should have been the one to treat everyone to today's meal.

But all the money he had was taken by Qin Huairu.

When Banggeng beat him until he was lying on the ground unable to move, and was about to stuff him into the car and throw him out of the house, Qin Huairu searched his body for the last time.

They took the only 1.5 yuan he had left.

He Yuzhu insisted on going, and Xu Damao couldn't stop him at all. He had another purpose in going out to buy groceries: to find an excuse to take a bottle of spiritual spring wine from his spatial storage.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are both getting old, and after today's ordeal, they might not be able to withstand it.

This is not what he wanted.

He Yuzhu also planned to use the two of them to deal with Qin Huairu.

Evil people will surely be punished.

What Qin Huairu did was absolutely disgusting.

If Qin Huairu were to live a good life, he would be betraying the space he possessed.

Fortunately, this is Beijing, and there are still shops open in the early hours of the morning.

He Yuzhu bought a few dishes and a bottle of wine, and returned to Xu Damao's house.

"I bought it at a nearby store, and I also bought a bottle of wine."

Sha Zhu blushed and said, "Young man, don't worry, when I have money, I'll pay you back double."

Xu Damao said bluntly, "You're bragging. When will you ever have money?"

You still expect Lou Xiao'e to come back to you? Dream on.

You didn't go to He Xiao's wedding. Do you think she can forgive you?

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu showed a regretful expression, but he refused to admit defeat in front of Xu Damao.

"If you treat me like someone else, everyone will ignore you. With this face, I could easily make a few hundred dollars."

Xu Damao burst into laughter, slapping the table and jumping up and down as he laughed.

"Jingru, listen to this. This is the most shameless thing I've ever heard in my life."

Aren't you just hoping to borrow money from MCA?

Stop causing trouble for the MCA, okay? (End of Chapter)
