Chapter 2547 Fried Peanuts

Inside the courtyard, Liu Guangtian and his friends prepared several good dishes and took them to Sha Zhu's room.

Sha Zhu had already guessed all this, so he wasn't surprised at all. He asked the others to sit down and drink with them.

Qin Huairu stomped her feet in anger when she saw these people go in.

She was dressing up at home, hoping to use her beauty to make Sha Zhu submit.

Before she could even finish getting ready, Liu Guangtian and his gang entered Sha Zhu's room, ruining her plans.

With no other option, she had to find a different approach since the chance to spend time alone with Sha Zhu was gone.

Qin Huairu rummaged through the house for some peanuts and fried them herself.

"Silly Zhu, you guys are drinking. I know you love my fried peanuts the most, so I'll get you another dish."

Peanuts are the dish that Qin Huairu most often makes for Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu's lunchbox was meant to be given to the deaf old lady and to support the Jia family, leaving him with almost nothing to eat himself.

But he's human too, and he gets hungry too.

What to do when you're hungry?

All I can do is have a little wine to soothe my stomach.

Just drinking isn't enough.

But Sha Zhu can't be served as a snack with alcohol.

As soon as he cooked the dishes, Qin Huairu would come over with a large bowl to borrow some from him.

In the end, I still couldn't eat it.

Sha Zhu could only eat some peanuts with his drinks.

Even with just this few peanuts, it's impossible to keep them all.

If Qin Huairu finds out, the stick will be taken away within three days.

Then Qin Huairu would come to apologize to Sha Zhu with peanuts in her hands.

Don't expect her to be serving freshly fried peanuts. More often than not, the peanuts she's serving are ones that were fried several days ago.

Under Qin Huairu's gentle persuasion, Sha Zhu had no choice but to eat.

It's not that Sha Zhu loves to eat Qin Huairu's fried peanuts; it's that if he doesn't eat them, he'll go hungry like He Yushui.

Seeing Qin Huairu's peanuts, Sha Zhu knew they were freshly fried.

He still deliberately asked, "These are peanuts that were fried last week, right?"

Qin Huairu knew that Sha Zhu was deliberately picking a fight, so he pretended not to understand.

"You call yourself a chef? The peanuts were still steaming hot, and you didn't even notice."

This is a fried snack that I specially made to go with drinks.

This used to be your favorite food.

“Yeah, Sha Zhu, you loved eating fried peanuts with your drinks when you were young,” Liu Guangtian said.

The others thought so too.

Every time Qin Huairu brought fried peanuts to Sha Zhu, Jia Zhangshi would make a scene.

It wasn't about getting the peanuts back.

She wouldn't eat the peanuts that had been sitting out for days. If she didn't want them, Qin Huairu wouldn't serve them.

Jia Zhangshi's real purpose in causing trouble was twofold. One was to call Qin Huairu home, fearing that Sha Zhu, drunk, might cause trouble and take advantage of Qin Huairu.

That would put the Jia family in a difficult position.

Sue Sha Zhu. Then no one will help the Jia family anymore.

Shouldn't we sue Sha Zhu?

This loss was suffered for nothing.

It's not a big deal if you just suffer a loss.

The worst thing is that once Sha Zhu has tasted meat, he won't find it delicious anymore.

Qin Huai was hanging on to Sha Zhu, relying on that body that Sha Zhu had never possessed.

If Sha Zhu actually gets his hands on it and then stops paying attention to it, that would be the most troublesome thing.

Of course, this possibility is very small.

Why did the Jia family dare to let Qin Huairu have an ambiguous relationship with Sha Zhu?

Because the Jia family saw through him; Sha Zhu was a man with the desire to steal, but not the courage to do so.

The real reason is the second one, to let everyone know that the Jia family is not taking advantage of Sha Zhu, and the Jia family does not owe Sha Zhu anything.

In those days, peanuts were also a very precious commodity.

Just look at the Yan family. During the Lunar New Year, each person gets three peanuts.

The Jia family took Sha Zhu's lunchbox and even fried peanuts for him.

It's a fair trade, and no one owes anyone anything.

Because of Jia Zhangshi's trouble-making, everyone knows that Sha Zhu loves to eat peanuts with his wine.

You might ask why no one suspects that they dislike meat but prefer peanuts. The Jia family could explain that.

Sha Zhu is a chef, and he often eats the same dishes while cooking, so he's long been tired of them.

Because the Jia family covered it up well, and Sha Zhu didn't like to explain.

Even now, Liu Guangtian and the others still believe that Sha Zhu's favorite food is fried peanuts.

If Sha Zhu knew what they were thinking, he would definitely give them a good scolding.

He's a master chef; he knows what tastes good and what doesn't. How could he not know?

He's handled countless delicious foods; he must have been out of his mind to think peanuts were so tasty.

"Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft." This remark from Sha Zhu revealed Qin Huairu's true nature.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Qin Huairu's face. However, she was thick-skinned and quickly forgot about it.

Qin Huairu took the initiative to find a seat and then said, "Shazhu, please don't say that."

I admit that what Bang Geng did to you that time was indeed somewhat impulsive.

But he really didn't mean it.

He's not targeting you; he's targeting an old man.

The old man caused our family so much humiliation, it's too numerous to recount.

He endured it his whole life, thinking that once the old man died, the humiliation would end.

But what about you?

You show no consideration for the grievances I've suffered.

They insisted on forcing him to pay respects to an old man.

Any man with a shred of spirit would find this unbearable.

It wasn't enough for them to just talk. Qin Huai kept giving Liu Guangtian meaningful glances, signaling them to help persuade Sha Zhu.

After a few moments of hesitation, Liu Guangtian chose to help Qin Huairu.

They all knew that they were on the same side as Qin Huairu.

If you want to get rich, you can't do without the Jia family. Whether it's people or money, you have to rely on the Jia family.

“Shazhu, we all know you’re feeling down. But you have to look forward.”

Let's not dwell on the past. We've been neighbors for decades; we're not family, but we're closer than family.

"Yes. Apart from having different surnames, we're practically family."

When the three old men were alive, we worked together to take care of them in their old age.

Back then, everyone envied our department.

I remember the neighborhood committee even gave you and Sister Qin certificates of merit.

Listening to the advice of several people, Sha Zhu sneered inwardly.

This isn't persuasion; it's a gradual process of uncovering the wounds in his heart.

Every word they said was, in Sha Zhu's eyes, evidence that he had mistaken a thief for his father.

"Shut up, all of you. If you think Qin Huairu is so great, then go with her and let her American son-in-law make you rich."

"Why are you saying such hurtful things?" Liu Guangtian and the others said with dissatisfaction.

This wasn't just something Sha Zhu said in anger.

Sha Zhu secretly hoped that these guys would work with Mike.

Who is Mike?

spy.

These people are cooperating with Mike, so they are all spies.

When we catch Mike, we'll catch them all at once; that'll satisfy Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu was also unhappy and immediately defended Mike.

"Don't say that. Mike is an American."

"So what if they're Americans? Can't Americans speak out?" Sha Zhu said nonchalantly.

Qin Huairu said, "I didn't say Americans can't say it. When are you going to change this temper of yours?"

The United States is now the most powerful country. Whether you admit it or not, they are superior to people from other countries.

"Silly Zhu, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I'm thinking, once we've made some money, I'll take you to immigrate, and we'll both become American citizens."

Sha Zhu scoffed, "Pah! I'd rather die than become an American citizen."

I, Sha Zhu, am a true man, and I would never be a traitor who forgets his roots.

Han Yue, who had been outside, rushed in upon hearing this.

He was afraid that Sha Zhu might say something inappropriate due to his loose tongue.

"Uncle He, what's wrong?"

When Sha Zhu saw Han Yue, he realized he had almost said the wrong thing, so he said, "It's nothing, I was just angered by Widow Qin." (End of Chapter)
