Chapter 257 Fooling
Sha Zhu and Ma Hua were not walking far away. When people saw the two were about to fight, they hurried over to stop them. Fortunately, Sha Zhu let go of Ma Hua in time.
In the crowd, Liu Lan saw Sha Zhu grabbing Ma Hua by the collar and roughly guessed what the two were talking about.
Everyone in the cafeteria knew that Ma Hua was honest, but Liu Lan knew that Ma Hua was also very smart and loyal. Unlike the fat man who was also Sha Zhu's apprentice, he only knew how to be clever and would stay away when encountering such things.
It would be better to make things clear. Liu Lan has always looked down on Qin Huairu. After seeing Sha Zhu know about it, how dare you go to the cafeteria to get benefits?
Sha Zhu returned to the crowd. With his personality, he would have gone to question Qin Huairu long ago, but just a few steps made him change his mind.
In the short time since he came back, he thought a lot.
From Qin Jingru to the deaf old lady's persuasion, from Yuan Rongrong to He Daqing's ridicule.
Many times, Sha Zhu wanted to give up Qin Huairu and go find a wife of his own, but every time he had this idea, he was quickly worn away by the gentleness of the land.
He is not stupid, and he knows that Qin Huairu must be a big trap.
If it was really as Ma Hua guessed, it would give him a reason to get rid of Qin Huairu and he no longer had to worry about face issues.
The team moved forward quickly, and after calling out their names and receiving money and benefits, they soon arrived at Shazhu.
"He Yuzhu, you took two days of personal leave this month, so two days' salary was deducted. You also took three days of sick leave, so 20% of your salary was deducted every day. The total remaining amount is thirty-three dollars and eighteen cents. Did you count it correctly?" said the finance lady as she pushed the salary slip and money to the window.
"Yes, I have already calculated it."
Sha Zhu picked up the money and started counting it. After counting it, he signed his name casually and walked towards the cafeteria with the welfare money.
As soon as he got out of the crowd, as expected, Qin Huairu caught up with him.
"Zhu Zi, how much money did you get?"
"Not much. I took a lot of leave last month, so more than four dollars were deducted. It's only a little over thirty-three dollars."
"It's not a small amount. I estimate that I'm only twenty-five. After paying off my debts, I won't be able to celebrate this New Year." Qin Huairu said with a wry smile.
"It's not that serious, is it?"
"You are not in my family's situation. We are a family of five, and we all rely on my salary to survive. We go hungry every month."
If Qin Huairu had said this three months ago, Shazhu would have believed it, but if she said it now, the credibility is too low.
Qin Huairu had spent hundreds of dollars to compensate Wang Tiedan, and Jia Zhang had spent hundreds of dollars to redeem herself. Not to mention whether there was any money left in the family, at least they had cheated Yi Zhonghai out of four hundred dollars, which was given to them by Sha Zhu himself.
"Sister Qin, it's almost the same now. If I had money, I would help you, but you know, I'm poorer than you. Before, my sister got married and borrowed 300 yuan from Xu Damao and she hasn't paid it back. Before, the medical expenses that the old man paid for me, I haven't paid it back either. It's the New Year again. Oh! I'm so worried. When will it end?"
As Sha Zhu spoke, he took out his newly-paid salary and started counting it.
Qin Huairu looked at him with envy. She didn't believe that Sha Zhu didn't hear her and came over to say those words just to ask for money.
Of course, it is also possible that he really didn't hear it. Shazhu is a straight man, and it would be difficult for him to understand if you don't explain it clearly.
Qin Huairu wanted to cry about being poor again, but Sha Zhu counted out twenty yuan and handed it to her.
"Sister Qin, this is the money I borrowed from you the day before yesterday. I said I would pay you back, and I will definitely pay you back without paying any interest."
"what?"
Qin Huairu was surprised by Sha Zhu's behavior. She thought it would take some time to talk, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.
She took the money and was really touched.
"Zhu Zi, what can I say, I really want to thank you."
"It's my duty. I borrowed money from you, so I should pay it back."
"Yes, Zhuzi, you will be alone during the New Year anyway, so why not spend it with our family?" Qin Huairu said with a smile.
"No!" Sha Zhu refused directly, "I'm not alone. If nothing unexpected happens, the old lady, the uncle and the aunt will all be with me.
I think Aunt Jia and Uncle can't sit together, what do you think?"
Qin Huairu nodded. It might have been okay before, but it really isn’t okay now.
"Hey, he was celebrating our Bang Geng's birthday before, how come things have changed so quickly?"
"Things change all the time."
Sha Zhu pocketed his remaining money and suddenly asked, "Sister Qin, I heard that Li Huaide helped you get transferred to the warehouse. Is that true?"
"what?"
Qin Huairu was a little flustered for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense. It wasn't Li Huaide who helped me. I found Director Song from the guesthouse and asked him for help."
"Director Song?"
When he heard that it wasn't Li Huaide, Sha Zhu felt conflicted, both happy and disappointed.
"Yes, I helped Director Song clean the guesthouse several times before. He saw that it was inappropriate for a woman like me to be in the workshop, so he helped me."
This was the reason Qin Huairu had prepared long ago. She had indeed been to the guesthouse several times and had met Director Song several times. She also knew that Sha Zhu had no connections with the guesthouse, and it was even more impossible for him to go there specifically to inquire about this matter.
"I see. Director Song is quite nice."
"really."
"Then let me congratulate Sister Qin first. Your salary will definitely increase when you get to the warehouse."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards the cafeteria together.
But they didn't know that there were many canteen workers falling far behind them.
Liu Lan pulled Ma Hua and stared at the two of them.
"Is your master really stupid? He wouldn't have asked, would he?"
"I don't know. Logically speaking, my master would not be able to hold it in."
"Any man can't hold back. He doesn't get angry even though he's like this. Just wait and see. Sha Zhu has probably been fooled by Widow Qin again."
"Can this be fooled?"
"There's only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. How could your master, with his dog brain, possibly be a match for Widow Qin?"
"Maybe we are wrong."
"I hope I'm mistaken!"
When she arrived at the cafeteria door, Qin Huairu didn't go in. She just said hello and walked back.
When passing by Liu Lan, the two women deliberately brushed past each other, and their eyes met at the same time, all four eyes were full of contempt.
Ma Hua subconsciously grabbed Liu Lan. The tension was so intense that he was really worried that the two would start fighting.
Sha Zhu was standing at the entrance of the cafeteria and also saw this scene, but he was too far away and didn't notice anything was wrong.
"Master."
Ma Hua and Liu Lan came to Sha Zhu together and neither of them entered the cafeteria.
"Hey, Shazhu, you are really patient. You are not angry even though it's like this."
Liu Lan smiled and deliberately looked at Sha Zhu's hair.
Sha Zhu glared at Ma Hua, then looked at Liu Lan and said, "Liu Lan, you are no match for me. You didn't even get the information. It was Director Song from the guesthouse who helped you."
"Haha~"
Liu Lan couldn't help herself at the time and patted Ma Hua on the shoulder.
"I said your master was fooled, and Old Song from the guesthouse was the only one who believed it, Shazhu.
What kind of person is Old Song? He will not do anything without profit. All he wants is to be the director of the logistics department. What can he get by helping Qin Huairu?
Forget it, you idiot, just stay tied to this widow for the rest of your life."
After saying that, Liu Lan went straight into the cafeteria.
Ma Hua was ready to stop Sha Zhu at any time. He was really afraid that Sha Zhu would ignore the situation and beat Li Huaide again.
