Chapter 240: A sumptuous lunch at Shazhu's house
"Fuck! Why did you follow me? I..."
Cats have their ways and mice have their ways. Sha Zhu tried his best, trying to be nice and curry favor with others, and finally prepared a big table of food.
When he turned around, he found that Wang Hongtao was sitting at the table calmly. He immediately became unhappy and started shouting.
"Brother, why are you like this? I was the one who asked Brother Wang to come over for dinner! I've been to his house for so many meals, so what's wrong with me treating him back for a meal?"
“I…” Shazhu’s expression changed and he was hesitant to speak, thinking, am I worried about a meal?
I was thinking about getting married, but then another handsome and eloquent man sat at the table. How could I get her then?
Wang Hongtao smiled knowingly and pulled Shazhu away: "Come on, Shazhu, let's go out and talk!"
After saying that, he pushed and shoved Shazhu out of the house.
Inside the room, three girls were staring at a table full of food.
"Crispy roast chicken, braised spareribs, steamed Chinese sausage, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, Chinese cabbage with oil residue, and pan-fried old tofu."
"Add a bowl of tomato and egg soup. Wow, six dishes and one soup. It's delicious!"
"You silly brother is really capable!"
Zhang Shuqin was amazed. Her family was not well off and they couldn't even afford to prepare a table like this for Chinese New Year.
"You're capable, right? Why don't you just marry him? He will definitely be willing to marry you!" He Yushui joked.
"No, that won't work. I still like your cousin. I'd be happy to follow him even if I have to eat coarse food!" Zhang Shuqin blurted out.
He Yushui covered her mouth and chuckled: "You, you, don't let anything slip in front of silly brother later!"
"I know."
……
Entering the middle courtyard, Wang Hongtao pointed at Sha Zhu angrily and said:
"Hey, Silly Zhu, today is the first time I realize that you are such a stingy person!"
"Given our relationship, what's wrong with me eating your meal? If someone else invited me, I wouldn't bother to go! Am I, Wang Hongtao, someone who needs a meal?"
"I have nothing to do with you, get out of here! Can't you see why I prepared such a large table of food?" Sha Zhu was so angry that his nose was smoking and he cursed:
"You don't care? Do I need you to care about me?"
Wang Hongtao had a calm expression on his face and made a gesture of invitation: "Go on, keep on cursing, and curse louder. It's just right for the girls in the room to hear it, so that they can know what kind of person you, Shazhu, are."
"You cooked so many dishes and couldn't finish them. What's wrong with me helping you eat some? It would be such a shame to waste them!!"
Shazhu: "What a waste! Can't I leave some for the next meal? Give it to me..."
"Walls have ears!" Wang Hongtao reminded calmly.
"I..….."
Sha Zhu was so angry that he was about to lose his temper. He couldn't beat him, nor could he scold him. He could only point at Wang Hongtao and stomp his feet.
At this time, an old lady heard the noise and came over. After listening to Sha Zhu's complaints, she understood what was going on.
"Zhu Zi, that's where you're wrong. The little king treated Yu Shui to so many meals, it's only natural that Yu Shui would treat him back."
"She, as a younger sister, has no ability now, so she uses you, as a brother, to repay a favor. Isn't that normal?"
"Zhu Zi, when did you develop the bad habit of taking advantage of others?"
This made Sha Zhu even angrier, but he couldn't get angry with the old lady, so he could only suppress his temper: "Not the old lady, it's not like that. I..."
Wang Hongtao leaned close to Sha Zhu's ear and whispered, "I know what you are planning, you are afraid that I will ruin your plans, right?"
"You're overthinking this. I'm not Xu Damao. Why are you on guard against me?"
"The most important thing for you now is how to please the girls. This is what you need to consider."
"I was thinking of helping you check and saying something nice to you, but you didn't appreciate it!"
"Well, I won't eat this meal today. Go and please the girls slowly!"
"I want to see how you do it!"
After saying that, Wang Hongtao turned around and left, counting silently in his mind, "one, two, three."
Sha Zhu watched Wang Hongtao leave with a changing expression on his face: Whether this kid will speak for him or not is not the point, but if he wants to ruin his plans, it would be very easy.
After figuring it out, Sha Zhu forced a smile and said, "Wait a minute, Brother Wang. I suddenly figured it out. Please do me a favor and have dinner with me today..."
Wang Hongtao understood, turned around and smiled softly: "Have you really figured it out?"
“I really figured it out!”
"Not reluctantly?"
“Not at all reluctant!”
"Okay, in that case I'll give you a favor and have lunch with you!"
"You said you were the same. Can't you just keep it quiet? You have to make a scene. Are you a scumbag?!"
Seeing Wang Hongtao taking advantage of the situation and acting like a good boy, with an air of getting a great deal, Sha Zhu's heart was bleeding.
He also had a mouth full of swear words, which were full of profanity.
Forget it, just think of it as me treating my son. Thinking of this, Sha Zhu finally felt a lot better.
……
In the room.
When several girls saw the two men come in, they immediately stood up to greet them.
We are all educated people, so we still have some courtesy.
The two sisters first expressed their gratitude to Sha Zhu for his warm hospitality, and then greeted Wang Hongtao.
Because they had been reminded in advance, they didn't get involved too much with Wang Hongtao. Everyone was praising Sha Zhu for his good cooking and his abilities and channels.
"Why is he called Shazhu?"
"I have heard a little about this. The story starts from when Shazhu was a child. That year..."
"That's how Shazhu got his name, but he's not stupid at all."
"Isn't that right, silly?"
Sha Zhu smiled and nodded repeatedly, thinking that this boy was quite well behaved and didn't say anything bad about him.
Wang Hongtao went on to praise him: "Shazhu is not only not stupid, but also kind-hearted. Whenever any family in the yard encounters difficulties, he will lend a hand, just say..."
After Sha Zhu drank a few glasses of wine, he took over the conversation: "Let's take the Jia family in the Central Courtyard for example. Their husband just died a few months ago, leaving them with orphans and widows..."
“It’s me…”
"I will bring back any leftovers from the factory..."
"After all, we are neighbors, so we should help if we can!"
He Yushui slapped his forehead hard after hearing this: "Brother, you've drunk too much!"
Looking back at the surprised expression on Zhang Shuqin's face, Sha Zhu realized that he had said too much in the heat of the moment, and could only look at Wang Hongtao for help.
Wang Hongtao laughed: "Well, Shazhu does have good intentions, and he is definitely not greedy for the widow. You guys don't have to think too much about it, just treat it as a story and forget about it, and don't go back to school and spread it around!"
"Yes, yes, I'm nothing special except that I'm kind-hearted. I hate to see others suffer." Sha Zhu agreed and tried to make amends.
The two girls didn't think much about it. They had never thought about anything happening between them and Sha Zhu. Just like Wang Hongtao said, they just treated it as a story and forgot about it after listening to it.
As for Sha Zhu, he now realizes that it is wrong to get entangled with the Jia family.
But every time he saw Qin Huairu's plump figure and smiling face, he couldn't control himself. If she made a miserable expression again, he would really want to give her all the money he had saved in the past two years!
