After rebirth, dominate the courtyard

"What Miss Qin Huairu said is worrying." Qin Huairu sighed softly, her expression full of helplessness.

She had never expected that her mother-in-law would be of such a character. Now she regretted it so much. She thought that it was an extremely wrong decision to get involved with Jia Dongxu!

After hearing this, Sha Zhu suddenly understood. He understood that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi did not get along well. Others would definitely feel pity for them. But for Sha Zhu, it was a godsend opportunity! Because if he dated Qin Huairu, he would have to deal with Jia Zhangshi. If the dispute between the two escalated, Sha Zhu could take advantage of the opportunity to help Qin Huairu escape from the predicament!

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu was slightly happy. For him, this was undoubtedly a great thing! "It's okay. If Jia Zhang treats you badly and wants to drive you away, you can find me. My house is very spacious."

"Besides, my sister is not in the courtyard at the moment, so it's okay for you to stay in her room with the child!"

Sha Zhu smiled and looked at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu's eyes flashed a glimmer when she heard the words, but then dimmed again, and she shook her head and sighed. This is not a long-term solution after all. But after hearing Sha Zhu's assurance, she felt a little relieved. If Jia Zhang pushed too hard, she would really move into Sha Zhu's sister's room. She knew very well that the room was indeed spacious.

"Shazhu, thank you so much." Qin Huairu looked at Shazhu and whispered with her head down.

Seeing her like this, Sha Zhu's heartbeat accelerated. He felt that Qin Huairu looked extremely beautiful at this moment. With a thought, he whispered to himself, "Sister, I'm sorry. If Qin Huairu really needs it, you can find another place to live in the future."

"Don't be polite. It's getting late. Go buy a fish and take it home." Sha Zhu said with a silly smile.

Qin Huairu nodded when she heard this, but Sha Zhu found sadly that he could not find many fish sellers after walking around for a while. Either the stalls were closed or the fish were sold out.

At this moment, Qin Huairu pointed to a corner and said, "Shazhu, look, there are people selling fish over there, let's go and take a look!"

Sha Zhu looked in the direction of the sound and saw the fish seller. His face suddenly changed! This person was the one who chased him away when he was fishing by the river! The fish seller also saw Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu walking towards his stall. After recognizing the two, he snorted coldly.

"How much is this fish?" Sha Zhu asked shamelessly.

"Five taels of silver!" the man answered directly. If it weren't for the couple in front of him, he would have caught more fish by the river! But it was the two of them and the old woman who tried to seize his territory, which made him quite dissatisfied. So he simply raised the price of the fish three times.

On weekdays, the fish in the bucket are sold for only about one or two taels of silver, because fish are difficult to catch in the cold winter, so this is the market price.

"You are asking for too much!"

“I’ve never seen fish sold for such a high price!”

"Why don't you just rob the silver?" When Sha Zhu heard the price, he knew that the other party was making things difficult for him, and he immediately felt unhappy.

"If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, forget it." The man responded indifferently.

"You!" Sha Zhu was impatient by nature. He wanted to scold after hearing the words, but he couldn't find a reason for the moment.

"Forget it, let's not eat this fish." Qin Huairu comforted.

How could Sha Zhu be willing to accept this? Before leaving, Yi Zhonghai had told him to buy a fish to take home, otherwise he would not be able to report back.

"Forget it, I admit defeat today." Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment and finally spoke. He admitted the loss. Besides, Yi Zhonghai had already said that he would pay for the fish, and he could ask for it back later.

Qin Huairu saw that Sha Zhu really took out five taels of silver to buy fish. Although she was unhappy on the surface, she was very happy in her heart! She could have a free meal again. It would be good for the children in the family to eat more fish.

When the fish seller saw Sha Zhu really took out five taels of silver, he was surprised but secretly delighted. He wanted to scare the two away with the high price, but unexpectedly they actually bought it. For him, it was a good thing no matter what!

After simply wrapping the fish, he handed it to Sha Zhu.

"Take it!" Sha Zhu handed the silver to the man, took the fish, turned and left, feeling frustrated.

......

Soon, Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard with the fish.

"Shazhu, how much is this fish? It looks pretty big!" Yi Zhonghai asked with a smile when he saw Shazhu coming back with a fish in his hand.

When Sha Zhu saw Yi Zhonghai, he was thinking about how to start the conversation, but he didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to ask him first, which was exactly what he wanted.

"I bought this fish at the market for five taels of silver. If you don't believe me, ask Qin Huairu." Sha Zhu pulled Qin Huairu and said with a smile.

Qin Huairu nodded reluctantly, and Yi Zhonghai's face darkened when he heard this.

Isn't this obviously a scam? Why is the fish sold for five taels? Thinking of Sha Zhu cheating him out of money, Yi Zhonghai's face darkened even more!

Who said Shazhu was stupid?

"Shazhu, why did you buy a fish for five taels of silver? Aren't ordinary fish worth more than one or two taels of silver?" Yi Zhonghai asked Shazhu, suppressing his anger.

Sha Zhu knew that the other party thought he was cheating them, but he told the truth and there was nothing he could do.

"Don't misunderstand!" Sha Zhu was worried that Yi Zhonghai might misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained the matter of the market.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's expression eased a little, but Sha Zhu had indeed cheated too much this time! Five taels of silver for a fish was really too much.

The other people in the courtyard also heard Sha Zhu's words and looked at him with sympathy. This Sha Zhu was really a sucker, spending five taels of silver to buy a fish!

"You go into the house first, I'll deal with the fish at the door." Sha Zhu said to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly and then entered Jia Zhang's house. After Jia Dongxu left, he came here more freely...
