Chapter 196 Borrowing Money from Sha Zhu

Due to Jingyi's intervention, the He brothers and sisters obviously reduced their dependence on Yi Zhonghai's family. Shazhu went to work at the steel mill, and Yushui also reduced the number of times she went out to play. She played with the many toys given to her by her friends at home, and also hid many snacks at home. Even when Aunt Yi next door called her, Yushui turned a deaf ear.

Yi Zhonghai also wanted to get closer to Sha Zhu. Sometimes he would ask Sha Zhu to go with him to work and ask about his current life on the way. But no matter how hard Yi Zhonghai tried, he felt that Sha Zhu's attitude towards him was obviously perfunctory.

Yi Zhonghai is now trying to get close to Sha Zhu, which has aroused the jealousy of his apprentice Jia Dongxu. His master is a family with no descendants! From now on, he will take care of him in his old age and the family property will also belong to him, Jia Dongxu. This Sha Zhu also wants to get involved?

Now, every time the three of them walked together on the way to work, Jia Dongxu would always deliberately push Sha Zhu aside. His hostile behavior made Sha Zhu wary of him.

"Master, my wife is pregnant. When my son is born, I want him to recognize you as his grandfather."

On the way to work that day, Jia Dongxu pushed Sha Zhu aside again and spoke happily to his master Yi Zhonghai.

"Dongxu, since you are going to be a father soon, you should take more responsibility for the family. Don't stay out drinking and playing cards after work." Yi Zhonghai lectured him. The situation on Shazhu's side was still unclear, and this apprentice could not be completely abandoned, so he had to put him aside for backup.

Sha Zhu walked behind them and heard that Jia Dongxu's new wife was pregnant! He felt mixed emotions. This Qin Huairu was also blind to find such a jerk.

But Shazhu knew Jia Dongxu's background. What about drinking and playing cards outside after work? Damn! He followed a group of Buddhist masters to steal and cheat outside.

"How can that be possible, Master? I seldom go out after work now. After all, I'm going to be a father soon, and I have to consider my family." Jia Dongxu assured his master.

He hadn't been out for a while because several of his former friends had been arrested on the bus. He was so scared that he never dared to go back to his former friends again.

But this made him a little tight on money. He had to hand over 300,000 yuan of his monthly salary to his mother, Jia Zhang, leaving him 55,000 yuan for meals in the factory cafeteria and pocket money. He hadn't had money to buy cigarettes for a few days!

The three of them walked for more than 20 minutes and entered Lou's Steel Rolling Mill. Sha Zhu went to the canteen without even saying hello, and the master and apprentice walked into the factory for another five minutes and arrived at their own metal processing workshop.

Jia Dongxu changed into work clothes and started to smoke cigarettes with people in the workshop. But others avoided him, and his mortal enemy Guo Dapiezi mocked him mercilessly.

He went up and grabbed Guo Dapiezi's chest, and the two immediately started fighting. This scene happened to be seen by the workshop director who was assigned the task, and he immediately scolded the two of them. The next time they saw the two fighting, they would all be sent to the factory security department.

Guo Dapiezi gave in and went back to his workstation. Jia Dongxu walked towards the workshop door with his hands in his pockets. He didn't have the energy to work because he didn't have a cigarette today.

Standing at the door of the workshop, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw the assistant worker in the workshop pushing a cart of raw materials to be processed, with a cigarette between his ears.

When the assistant pushed the cart past him, he reached out and grabbed it. He quickly lit it with a match and took a long puff. It was so satisfying!

The assistants were angry but dared not speak out! The assistants could not afford to offend these workshop technicians.

He quickly finished the cigarette and threw the butt into the bushes. Jia Dongxu was a little worried! Life is not easy without money. Where can he get some money?

All the workers in the workshop knew his character. Who would dare to lend money to a person who never paid back the money he borrowed?

I heard that He Daqing gave Sha Zhu a large sum of money before he left. I asked him to borrow some money first to test whether he really had money.

After making up his mind, Jia Dongxu returned to his workstation. While others were busy working, the equipment at his workstation was not turned on yet.

Sha Zhu was highly regarded by Director Li in the canteen. He had learned good cooking skills at a young age. In the past few months, he had been arranged to work in the small kitchen. His one-year apprenticeship period was also shortened to half a year.

After Director Li's constant guidance, Sha Zhu no longer hated his father He Daqing. He could also understand his father's difficulties! He also planned to take Yu Shui to Baoding with him, but Director Li didn't know He Daqing's current address.

When I get home from get off work in the afternoon, the first thing I do is to cook dinner. At home, Yu Shui eats breakfast as lunch, so dinner must be rich.

As soon as Sha Zhu put the food on the table, Jia Dongxu rushed in. Sha Zhu ignored him and carried Yu Shui to the table to serve her dinner.

"Hey Zhuzi, your sister-in-law is pregnant. She needs more nutrition now! But I'm a bit short of money recently, can you lend me some money? I will pay you back when I get my salary next month." Jia Dongxu said to Sha Zhu with a smile on his face.

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes at him and replied unhappily: "Did you get the wrong person? You want to borrow money from me? Do you think I'm a rich man? Get out of here!"

But Jia Dongxu looked at the meat and big white steamed buns on the table and decided that Sha Zhu must have money. Are you pretending to be poor in front of me?

"I won't lend you much, just lend me 200,000. I'll pay you back next month! Look, there's no adult at home to clean up for you now, so I'll ask your sister-in-law to help you with the laundry. This money is not lent in vain!" Jia Dongxu threw out a bait.

He knew that all the young men in the courtyard had fantasies about his beautiful wife. But as long as the money was in hand, who would help you clean the house?

As soon as Qin Huairu was mentioned, Sha Zhu's mind immediately became distracted. A figure immediately emerged in his mind! Although Qin Huairu had been married for several months and the two of them often bumped into each other as neighbors, he had not been able to say a word to Qin Huairu until now.

If she could come over and help him clean the house, wouldn't it be possible for the two of them to chat when they were alone together? Over time, their relationship would be further developed.

But with all the bad deeds Jia Lexu had done in the past, Sha Zhu didn't believe him at all. He thought about it and said, "I want you to write an IOU! I can only pay half of the money first, and I will give the other half after Qin Huairu comes to help me clean up the house."

As long as Jia Dongxu gets the money, he will talk about everything. After that, he will make excuses and will not pay it back. For him, is the IOU not enough?

I took the paper and pen and wrote it down in two strokes. I am borrowing 200,000 yuan from He Yuzhu today. I will definitely return it next month. The date and name are all correct!

Sha Zhu took the IOU and went into the inner room to get the money. Jia Dongxu looked at the food on the table. While Yu Shui was not paying attention, he reached out and took a big white steamed bun and put it in his pocket. This move was as fast as lightning, and He Yu Shui at the side had no time to react.

Sha Zhu took out a 100,000 yuan bill and handed it to Jia Dongxu. "I'll take a day off tomorrow. Let Qin Huairu come over to help me clean up in the morning. I'll lend you another 100,000 yuan in the afternoon."

After Jia Dongxu got the money, he first went to the grocery store at the entrance of the alley. He spent 3,800 yuan and bought a pack of Hardman cigarettes. He didn't even enter the courtyard, but squatted at the entrance of the alley and couldn't wait to smoke.

After throwing away the cigarette butt, he didn't think about going back. He gave Jia Zhang three hundred thousand yuan a month to support the family, which was enough for the family of three to live a good life. But his mother was really like a Pixiu, only taking in and not spending out.

Other families had big white steamed buns for every meal, but his family had steamed bread made of two jin of flour every day. The vegetables were cabbage, potatoes and radishes, with not even a speck of oil on them.

His wife really needed nutrition during her pregnancy, but whenever he mentioned it, Jia Zhang would scold her daughter-in-law.

Since he got married, his mother, Jia Zhang, who was less than 40 years old, began her retirement life. Now she does nothing and orders her wife to do things every day.

But he was helpless! His mother, Jia Zhang, would throw a tantrum and threaten to die if she was not satisfied with anything. This trick was very effective against him and his deceased father.

He patted his buttocks, stood up, and ran to the courtyard. When he arrived in front of his house and pushed the door open, his mother Jia Zhang had a sullen face and was making the bed in the outer room.

As soon as the son got married, the young couple occupied the inner room and drove Jia Zhang to live in the outer room. This made Jia Zhang very angry! She felt that her family status had declined.

At night, Jia Dongxu took out a white steamed bun from his bed and gave it to his wife, and at the same time he hushed her so that Jia Zhang in the outer room would not find out.

Qin Huairu hid in the bed and took a bite of the steamed bun. She couldn't stop her tears from flowing. Although her mother-in-law was not a good person, her husband still thought about her.
