Chapter 251 Director Wang Arrives
He Daqing had expected this when he saw Sha Zhu's arrogant look.
"Okay, if you don't want it, just leave it to me. Whenever you need it, I'll give it to you. But you have to think it over. You're over 30 and still in debt. The money you earn is not enough to marry a wife. Who would want to be with you?
I'm looking for a widow because I like it. At least I still have sons and daughters. You can learn from me, but be careful not to end up like Yi Zhonghai, who sees everyone as his son when he gets old."
"It sounds nice, but you're just trying to help others."
Sha Zhu sneered. He still had a deep grudge against He Daqing.
He Daqing rolled his eyes at him and started to act arrogantly as well.
"Don't be jealous, kid. I'm already in my 50s and approaching 60. If I find a pretty wife who's under 30, I'd be willing to live 10 years less, not to mention getting involved.
If you have the ability, don’t wait until you are fifty, try finding someone in his twenties now!
Don't say I look down on you!
You are over thirty years old, and you are still following a widow who is also over thirty years old. Just for this reason, in the end, I am better than you! "
Sha Zhu was choked and gritted his teeth. If He Daqing wasn't his father, he would have raised his fist.
“Okay, okay, you’re strong, but you’re also an old bastard, I don’t even bother to care about you!”
After saying that, Sha Zhu turned around and left.
A feast? I'm in no mood!
He Daqing glared and was also very angry.
"Hey, you little brat, you dare to scold me, you are a traitor!"
Seeing that Sha Zhu had no intention of turning around, he hurriedly added another sentence.
"Zhu Zi, I live in Tongzhou now, not far away. If you have any problems, come to me. Don't do it yourself."
Sha Zhu paused for a moment, but ultimately did not turn back.
He Daqing sighed and returned to the yard.
What I just said may seem unintentional, but it was actually provocative.
You can't just ignore your own son.
As for how much Sha Zhu can understand, it still depends on fate. If he finds a widow himself, he can't stop his son from finding one, right?
As for Sha Zhu, after walking for a while, he slapped himself twice when no one was around.
The first slap was because he didn't accept the money out of shame. He was already a poor guy, and he still owed Xu Damao three hundred yuan. There was nothing he couldn't take. It was only natural for him to take my money.
The second slap was because he felt ashamed. Shunmaolu's shortcoming was that he could not stand provocation. He was so stubborn. One important reason for this was that he wanted He Daqing to know that he, Shazhu, could still live well without him. But now, he made a fool of himself in front of He Daqing, which was embarrassing.
However, He Daqing is right about one thing, you can't live without a son~
Even though we haven't had a chance to eat, we still have things to do.
When there is a happy event at home, setting up two tables in the yard is the minimum requirement.
Sha Zhu went to the vegetable market, touched the money in his pocket, and couldn't help but want to slap himself twice, saying, "You are pretending to be cool even though you have no money."
Time soon came to night.
Sha Zhu prepared two tables of food, which were not too sumptuous, with only six dishes and four bottles of wine.
We invited the heads of each family in the courtyard, as well as the young people who helped today. There were one or two people from each family, so it was just right to squeeze in.
Everybody contributed some money, about three or five cents, which helped Shazhu to recover some of his losses.
At the dinner table, the young people's table was fine, but the table of the head of the family seemed lifeless.
One of them was Liu Haizhong and the other was Yan Bugui. The two of them looked like they had eaten a dead rat. They didn't talk and rarely ate any food. They just drank, as if they were trying to drown their sorrows in alcohol.
This is a wedding banquet. Shazhu looks at the miserable looks of these two and really wants to slap them to death.
Yi Zhonghai is the same. He now has to concentrate on being nice to Sha Zhu.
"Hey, Lao Liu, Lao Yan, it's the day of Zhuzi's family's big celebration, you guys should stop looking so sad. After all, you are the managers of the courtyard, you should set an example for everyone in the courtyard, what are you talking about?"
Hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Liu Haizhongqiang perked up. Leaders should set an example themselves and this is really not the way to go.
"Yes, Lao Yi is right. Zhuzi, come here, I'll toast you."
"No, Second Uncle, I toast to you, thank you Second Uncle."
Sha Zhu raised his glass and clinked it with Liu Haizhong, and then everyone looked at Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui was still the same stubborn person, with a stingy personality and money in his eyes. Yi Zhonghai's words were like the breeze blowing across the hills, completely useless.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai could only work harder.
"Old Yan, you have to learn from me. I was wronged a few days ago, but what I encountered was no worse than yours. Look at me, I still eat and drink as usual.
I think very clearly that money is something outside of one's body. Don't ruin your health for a little money. Not to mention the suffering you will suffer, the hospital is a bottomless pit. No matter how much money you have, you have to spend it, right?"
When Yan Bugui heard that he had to spend money again, his spirits improved a lot.
"Well, I feel bad about the money, but I also regret why I wasn't more careful at the time. Even if I asked one more person, it wouldn't have ended like this."
Yi Zhonghai was very happy to see that his words had an effect.
This is not the boss, but it is better than the boss.
"I say, Lao Yan, Lao Liu, I've thought about your matter."
He gestured to Xu Damao and whispered, "You don't know who he is. He's smarter than a monkey. I don't believe he didn't keep some for himself.
I think it's better to drink it than to groan here."
After hearing this, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's eyes lit up and they looked at Xu Damao at the same time.
Yi Zhonghai was right. Xu Damao might have really hidden a few boxes of medicine as a backup. If we get Xu Damao to drink enough, we might be able to get the medicine out of him.
If they succeed, at least half of their problems can be solved.
"That's right, thank you, Lao Yi, for reminding me."
Yan Bugui hurriedly raised his glass and clinked it with Sha Zhu, then stood up and went to another table. Liu Haizhong followed suit, holding his glass.
The matter of the medicine was not a secret, and everyone at the table knew it.
Without the two unlucky gods at the table, the atmosphere immediately became much better.
Sha Zhu smiled and didn't take it too seriously, he just raised his glass and continued spinning.
Yi Zhonghai was also happy. His previous worries were completely unnecessary. He had already inquired and found out that Yuan Rongrong and He Daqing left by car after the lunch banquet. He Daqing had also had a fight with Sha Zhu before that.
Without He Yushui in the yard, it is easy to take care of the elderly.
Double happiness.
People at two tables were eating when three figures walked into the middle courtyard. They were Director Wang, Xiao Wu, a clerk from the street office, and three aunties who led the way.
The third aunt walked quickly into the house to call people. When the people at the banquet heard that Director Wang was coming to hold a meeting of the entire hospital, they dared not hesitate and hurried out.
"Director Wang, please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to call someone."
Yan Bugui called out and immediately asked Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang to go to the front and back yards to call for help.
He saw that Director Wang's face was not very good, and he was unsure, so he was particularly proactive.
Liu Haizhong also wanted to take the initiative, but his two sons were not around.
Director Wang nodded, looked at Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai meaningfully, and then congratulated Sha Zhu.
Getting married is a good thing. She also hopes that Shazhu will work harder to solve his own difficult problems and save the street some trouble.
At the end of the year, it is customary for the street office to organize meetings in various courtyards, usually to prevent theft, fire and spies during the New Year, and to announce outstanding courtyards.
However, Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai both knew that there was more to the story today.
