Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

After hearing Lin Geng's question, Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, and actually thought about it seriously before saying, "I'm not really stupid. I'm a virgin, I own two rooms, and I can earn 37.5 yuan a month. Why don't I marry a virgin and raise children myself? Why should I help Qin Huairu and help her raise Jia Dongxu's three children?"

"That's right! Just remember, you, Shazhu, are actually not bad. Although you look a little old, isn't that called maturity? As long as you listen to me in the future, I think it will be no problem for you to marry a virgin girl!

Besides, look at that Bang Geng. He is only a little boy, but what has Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu done to him? You helped his family a lot in the past, didn't you? Did he ever call you uncle? He just follows others in calling you Shazhu! He is definitely an ungrateful little bastard, just like his grandmother and his parents!

Look at what kind of character he has been brought up with at such a young age? He has started to steal things just like Jia Zhangshi at such a young age. I guess he has visited your house and stolen things from you, right?

In this case, can you expect Qin Huairu to raise him and let him be filial to you in the future? I guess he can still treat you well when you can make money, but when you are old and can't make money, he will drive you out of the house and starve to death under the bridge!

It is enough if you can figure this out. You are a chef in a steel rolling mill. You have a house and a formal job, and you earn a lot a month. If you work hard in the future, you can be promoted two levels. In addition, you usually cook for others, so you will definitely earn more in a month. Why should you help others?

Brother Mao, do you think what I said makes sense?" Lin Geng slapped the table and said with a smile.

Lin Geng half-jokingly told Sha Zhu's original fate, focusing on Bang Geng's temper, to give Sha Zhu a shot of prevention.

Xu Damao was gnawing on a chicken bone. When he heard Lin Geng's question, he threw away the bone and said, "That's right! Don't you see what kind of conditions Brother Zhu has? Why should he help others? Wouldn't it be nice to marry a virgin girl? Isn't it better to have a few children of your own and raise them yourself than to raise other people's children?"

The reason you couldn't find a wife before was because you were too close to Qin Huairu, and someone deliberately spread the rumor that you were lusting after other people's wives, ruining your reputation!

What’s more, Yi Zhonghai doesn’t want you to get married. Look at what kind of ugly women he has found for you. Each one is either like Zhu Bajie, or like the female Li Kui or Lu Zhishen!

If you ask me, as long as you can control yourself in the future and don't get entangled with that young widow Qin Huairu again, and don't let people think that you are lusting after the young widow's body, your reputation will naturally improve after a while!

At that time, the worst that can happen is that you can spend a little more money and ask a matchmaker to help you find someone. Maybe you can find a wife!"

Sha Zhu listened to what Lin Geng and Xu Damao said, and began to ponder what they said. He thought about the temperament of Bang Geng that Lin Geng mentioned, and after thinking about it, hey, it was really the case!

How good was he to Qin Huairu and the Jia family before? He sent all the lunch boxes he brought back from the factory to their house. Banggeng must have eaten a lot, right? But when Banggeng saw him, he never looked at him straight in the eye. He just called him Shazhu like everyone else. Until now, he has never even called him uncle.

Moreover, at a young age, Banggeng has learned Jia Zhang's temper completely. He is extremely greedy, unreasonable, and has a foul mouth, and he curses at people at every turn.

At such a young age, he started stealing things everywhere in the yard. Sha Zhu often saw him stealing a head of garlic from the east house, a scallion from the west house, two potatoes from the front yard, a handful of dried radishes from the back yard, and he even sneaked into his cellar to steal people's cabbage.

He often went to his house to steal things, and would often take away the one, two, five cents, or even small bills that he would throw under his pillow. If there were any delicious food at home, such as peanuts, bacon, sausages, etc., this kid would take them away.

At that time, his heart and eyes were full of Qin Huairu. Because of his love for Qin Huairu, he not only did not think that Bang Geng's behavior was excessive, but even if he caught him occasionally, he would at most laugh and scold him. If Jia Zhang knew about this, she would come to his door and block his door, and scold him bitterly.

But now, because Qin Huairu treated him like a fool, the image of Qin Huairu as a white lotus in his heart faded. Thinking about what Banggeng did, Shazhu began to feel that this kid was really not a good thing! He was so young and had grown up crooked, and he would definitely not be a good bird when he grew up.

He thought that if he married Qin Huairu, he would definitely have to help Qin Huairu raise Banggeng, Xiaodang and the child in her belly. Judging from Banggeng's current performance, it is possible that as Lin Geng said, he, his stepfather, would be kicked out of the house and become homeless in the future.

So when Sha Zhu thought of this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and almost shivered. When he thought about how he would be driven out of his home by Bang Geng and hide under a bridge to suffer hunger and cold in the future, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

At this moment, he began to feel that what Lin Geng and Xu Damao said really made sense. Although Qin Huairu was pretty, with her personality and stubborn temper, if he really married her, his life might end up being very miserable.

So the remaining covetousness in his heart towards Qin Huairu began to dissipate rapidly at this time.

Lin Geng then struck while the iron was hot and asked Sha Zhu: "Brother Zhu, tell me, what kind of wife do you want to find? What are your requirements?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately became interested. After thinking for a while, he pointed his finger at Lin Geng and Xu Damao and said, "At first, I wanted to find a prettier wife. Not prettier than Qin Huairu, but at least not too far behind. She has to be pleasing to the eye!

Then I thought, with my conditions, I must at least find a wife from the city and have a job, right?

Also, I don’t have much education, so I want to find a wife who has some education, right? At least she should be a high school student, right? "

After Lin Geng and Xu Damao heard the conditions that Sha Zhu wanted to find for his wife, they both started to sneer at the same time. Xu Damao almost couldn't hold it back and started to rant on the spot, mocking Sha Zhu. Even if he tried hard not to rant, Lin Geng could tell. He must have been thinking, "Sha Zhu, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see what you look like? A toad wants to eat swan meat. How dare you!"

The reason why Lin Geng was thinking about what Xu Damao would want to say was because he thought the same way.

This guy Shazhu really doesn't know himself. He doesn't even look in the mirror to see that he is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but he looks as old as he is in his thirties or forties. Yet, he has such high requirements for marrying a wife. He is really a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

However, Lin Geng also resisted the urge to complain about Sha Zhu, and drank a glass of wine to suppress his urge, and then said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, I have something to say to you about this!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then said, "Well! Brother, let me hear what you say!"
