"If you want to go do it, then go yourself!"
Bang Geng, without even thinking, immediately rejected Sha Zhu's suggestion.
Sha Zhu, feeling anxious, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"That's right, Bang Geng, haven't you always wanted to get revenge on Yi Zhong Hai?"
"Now, your chance to get revenge on Yi Zhong Hai has finally come!"
"After we get Liu Kai Xuan's chicken, we'll say Yi Zhong Hai stole it!"
"When we do this..."
As he spoke, Sha Zhu leaned close to Bang Geng's ear and whispered a few words.
"Hmm?" Sha Zhu's words made Bang Geng frown.
Originally, Bang Geng didn't have the courage to steal from Liu Kai Xuan's place. After all, he had been to prison once and should have learned his lesson.
But as soon as the word "revenge" was mentioned, Bang Geng became excited.
Bang Geng thought for a moment and replied, "How about this, Sha Zhu, you go steal the chicken tonight, and I'll keep watch for you?"
"I..." At this moment, Sha Zhu really wanted to slap Bang Geng.
According to Sha Zhu's plan, he wanted Bang Geng to steal the chicken, and he would be the lookout.
If anything went wrong, since Bang Geng was the one who stole the chicken, Sha Zhu could easily shirk responsibility.
But now, Bang Geng had become cunning and didn't fall for it.
"What's the matter?"
Bang Geng shot Sha Zhu a look and provocatively asked, "With your IQ, you think you can trick me into stealing a chicken for you?"
"I'll beat you to death, you little brat!"
Sha Zhu was so provoked by Bang Geng's taunts that he lost his temper and raised his hand to strike.
Bang Geng, not to be outdone, retorted, "If you beat me, do you still expect to pursue my aunt?"
"You got me there!"
Bang Geng directly brought up Qin Jing Ru, and Sha Zhu no longer had the courage to continue hitting him.
Sha Zhu was now so infatuated with Qin Jing Ru that his legs went weak; he couldn't move.
Sha Zhu was actively pursuing Qin Jing Ru and desperately needed money.
By the time he got his salary in a month, it would be too late.
Xu Da Mao was always eyeing Qin Jing Ru.
Although Sha Zhu could temporarily suppress Xu Da Mao through force, this method couldn't be sustained in the long run.
If Sha Zhu couldn't afford to pursue Qin Jing Ru, she would eventually end up with Xu Da Mao.
If Qin Jing Ru became devoted to Xu Da Mao, and Sha Zhu then went berserk and beat Xu Da Mao, Xu Da Mao would definitely report him to the police.
This was the modern era; did Sha Zhu intend to force a marriage or abduct the bride?
Qin Jing Ru wasn't interested in Sha Zhu, so beating Xu Da Mao to death would be useless.
"No, I must find a way to get some money quickly!"
"Besides Liu Kai Xuan, who else in this courtyard has money..."
"Right!" Suddenly, Sha Zhu's eyes lit up with an idea. "Besides Liu Kai Xuan, Yi Zhong Hai is the richest old guy!"
Yi Zhong Hai had worked as an eighth-grade fitter at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill for many years, earning a monthly salary of 100 yuan.
After deducting the living expenses for him and his wife, he could save at least 80 yuan per month.
After so many years of saving, he must have accumulated a considerable sum.
With this in mind, Sha Zhu shamelessly approached Yi Zhong Hai.
Since Yi Zhong Hai had taken Xu Da Mao as his "godson," his life had become more comfortable again.
When Sha Zhu arrived, Yi Zhong Hai was eating.
Although there was no meat on the table, Xu Da Mao had spent money to buy Yi Zhong Hai some eggs.
There were two dishes on the table: scrambled eggs with scallions, and boiled peanuts.
"Why are you here?"
Yi Zhong Hai had been in a good mood while eating, but upon seeing Sha Zhu, his old face immediately turned extremely gloomy.
Sha Zhu, however, shamelessly smiled and said, "First Uncle, I haven't visited you in a while!"
"I finally have some free time today, so I came to see you!"
Yi Zhong Hai shot Sha Zhu a grim look and said nothing.
First Uncle's IQ was several times higher than Sha Zhu's.
He and Sha Zhu had a complete falling out over the dispute regarding the old lady's house.
Now, Sha Zhu showing up at his door could only mean one thing: a fox visiting a chicken, with no good intentions.
Sha Zhu continued to feign a smile, "First Uncle, we were indeed too petty about the house matter!"
"I've deeply realized my mistake and have specifically come to apologize."
"As you can see now, you can't count on Bang Geng to take care of you in your old age!"
"You've always looked out for me over the years, and I've kept all that in mind."
"Now it's time for me to repay your kindness!"
"Oh?" Yi Zhong Hai's interest was piqued. "You still have some conscience. How do you plan to repay me?"
Sha Zhu smiled and replied, "First Uncle, don't worry, I'll take care of you in your old age!"
"From today onwards, we're family!"
"Oh, really?"
Yi Zhong Hai's eyes lit up with interest. "Are you truly willing to take care of me, or are you just messing with me?"
To be honest, if Yi Zhong Hai had to choose between Sha Zhu and Xu Da Mao to take care of him in his old age, he would most likely choose Sha Zhu, not Xu Da Mao.
Sha Zhu was slow-witted and easily fooled by Yi Zhong Hai.
Xu Da Mao, on the other hand, was sarcastic and sharp-tongued, seeming to want to wring Yi Zhong Hai dry for his own satisfaction.
Even though Xu Da Mao now recognized Yi Zhong Hai as his godfather, Yi Zhong Hai still didn't want to deal with him.
"Of course, I sincerely want to take care of you!"
Sha Zhu said cheerfully, "First Uncle, think about how I treated the old lady over the years?"
"If I could take care of the old lady, I can take care of you too!"
"Hmm!"
Yi Zhong Hai nodded and smiled, "Sha Zhu, I've always thought you were a straightforward person!"
We never had any major grievances between us, and it would be best if we could reconcile!
"So, I've come today!"
"Alright!"
Yi Zhong Hai said happily, "How about this, Sha Zhu, go to the market and buy some meat. Make me a bowl of braised pork tomorrow morning!"
"It's time for us to sit down and have a good chat!"
"Sure!"
Sha Zhu readily agreed, "First Uncle, I've also wanted to sit down and have a good chat with you for a long time!"
"Don't worry, I'll personally cook meat for you!"
"But, as you know, I just got out of prison and don't have much money on hand right now!"
"How about you give me two yuan to buy the meat?"
"You..." Yi Zhong Hai's mood instantly turned extremely agitated.
