Chapter 134: The Idiot Pillar
Liu Zhiye lives in Bengbu. Is this her biological mother?
"What! Just give me a chicken butt?"
“Hahahaha…” Gan Ning was standing aside, laughing so hard that she was bent over with joy.
Liu Jingzhai said, "You don't want to eat? Then let me try some meat. Hey, this thing is so juicy!" At the same time, he quickly took the chicken butt out of Liu Zhiye's bowl.
The action was so fast that people had no time to react. Then, "Bang!", he chewed a few times and swallowed it skillfully.
In this short moment, Liu Jingzhai successfully made the other three people laugh out loud.
His sense of humor was surprising because he was usually serious and polite. But at this moment, he showed such a funny and energetic side that made people smile.
……
This was a happy moment, with the whole family chatting and laughing, enjoying the great joy.
Suddenly, Sha Zhu's voice came from the yard: "Uncle Liu! Is Aunt Liu at home?" This voice broke the warm atmosphere in the room. Deng Ru immediately went out of the house to greet him and enthusiastically invited him in.
Sha Zhu stepped into the house and first greeted all the relatives of the Liu family.
"Uncle Liu, brother, sister-in-law, I'm here. Are you eating?" he greeted warmly.
"Wow! Auntie's cooking skills are amazing. Just smelling the food makes me salivate." Sha Zhu praised and gave Deng Ru a thumbs up to express his admiration for her superb cooking skills.
Liu Jingzhai greeted him with a smile: "Zhu Zi, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten yet, let's have a drink together!" Then he turned to Deng Ru and asked her to get a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Sha Zhu immediately stopped Deng Ru and said with a smile, "Aunt! Don't bother, I came here after I had eaten. You guys eat, eat now."
"Well, Zhuzi, have a cup of tea first. Please sit and wait for a moment, we have almost finished eating," Liu Jingzhai said a few words politely.
After a while, Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, do you need me for something?"
Sha Zhu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Hey, brother! I'm not here to see you today." There was a hint of embarrassment in his words, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
Hearing this, Liu Zhiye asked him in confusion: "What do you mean by this?"
Sha Zhupo stammered, "I came here to ask my sister-in-law for help."
Gan Ning was also stunned. After all this time, he was here to ask her for help. So she said, "You want my help? Zhuzi, tell me what it is."
Sha Zhu sat there somewhat shyly, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to explain his purpose.
He bowed his head and apologized, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. My relationship with my girlfriend might not work out." After saying that, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the expressions of Liu Zhiye and his wife. He felt uneasy.
After hearing this, Gan Ning comforted him and said, "Zhu Zi, don't be anxious. Tell me slowly. What is going on?"
Sha Zhu no longer wanted to hide the truth and recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
Liu Zhiye heard this and suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He was really furious. This idiot Zhu was like a piece of mud that couldn't be supported by the wall. It was really a pity that a good relationship was ruined by his drinking.
Here's the thing.
Two days ago, Sha Zhu sent his girlfriend Wei Shufen home as usual.
Sha Zhu's attentiveness and thoughtfulness really make people feel warm. He knew to bring something for his future father-in-law. This time he brought a bottle of Erguotou and half a chicken sent by the factory canteen. His thoughtfulness is really touching.
His future father-in-law, Wei Laosan, was a wine lover. Seeing this, he enthusiastically invited Sha Zhu to have dinner with him.
This was Sha Zhu's first time eating at his girlfriend's house, which was equivalent to entering the house. The Wei family also acknowledged Sha Zhu's identity as the future son-in-law in disguise. If nothing unexpected happened, the marriage between the two would be a success.
If you don't talk about accidents, they will often happen.
This was Sha Zhu's first time to eat at his girlfriend's house. He felt excited but also a little uneasy.
He liked drinking, and Wei Lao San was even more addicted to alcohol. Under Wei Lao San's enthusiastic persuasion, Sha Zhu quickly relaxed and drank unknowingly.
Although Sha Zhu's alcohol tolerance was not particularly good, he was not willing to be outdone by his opponent Wei Laosan, and soon got drunk.
The drunken Sha Zhu soon revealed his true colors. Facing the praise from Wei Lao San, he boasted that he was a good cook and a good person, and that it was absolutely right for the Wei family's daughter to follow him. Later, Sha Zhu went even further. He didn't even know his last name, and started to brag about himself, forgetting everything else.
"I'm telling you, brother! Your daughter can just wait to enjoy the good life by following me. Look at this chicken and this meat. You probably can't normally have them at home, but you can by following me."
"Hey! The cook won't starve to death in this famine year. It's hard to find someone like me even with a lantern..."
"Don't worry! From now on, whenever I, Old He, have something to eat, I will never treat your family unfairly." Sha Zhu was really drunk and even treated the other person like a brother.
Wei Shufen nervously watched Wei Laosan's increasingly gloomy face. She was extremely anxious and tears rolled down her face uncontrollably.
However, no matter how she winked at Shazhu, the idiot never understood her meaning, behaved frivolously, and even mistakenly thought that this was a flirtation between the two of them.
This made the situation even more awkward, and Wei Shufen became even more anxious.
Although Wei Laosan has no special abilities and is addicted to alcohol, he does love his daughter.
At first, he thought Sha Zhu was an honest and trustworthy person. However, the saying that drinking is like a person's character is not an empty talk. Sometimes, people become insincere and reveal their true colors after getting drunk.
Wei Lao San thought to himself: We haven't even started talking about marriage yet, and this guy has already done this. I, Wei Lao San, may not be capable, but I'm not a prostitute. Sorry, we can't climb up to such a high branch as yours.
……
Later, Wei Laosan couldn't stand it anymore, and in a fit of anger he argued with Sha Zhu for a few words, and finally drove him away rudely.
Sha Zhu returned home angrily and cursed, fell headfirst on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
After sobering up, Sha Zhu lay alone on the kang. Recalling what happened yesterday, he couldn't help but slap his forehead and felt secretly regretful in his heart.
He knew that he had made a serious mistake, so he decided to go to Wei Shufen immediately to explain.
However, Wei Shufen was extremely disappointed with him at this time, and coupled with Wei Laosan's instructions, she no longer wanted to pay attention to Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu couldn't help but feel a strong sense of loss, but he didn't give up. He knew he had to find a way to save everything. Otherwise, the cooked duck might fly away.
He was full of thoughts and couldn't help but think of Gan Ning, the matchmaker who brought the two of them together. Wei Shufen also respected this sister-in-law very much.
If Gan Ning could come forward to mediate between them, perhaps there might still be room for recovery.
After hearing the news, the Liu family fell silent for a while, looking at each other. They were filled with mixed emotions. They had never seen such a person like Sha Zhu. You deserve to be single!
Liu Zhiye was so angry when he saw this idiot. Such a good marriage was ruined by him.
Wei Shufen is not bad looking. Although she is not a top beauty like Gan Ning or Zhen Ni, she is comparable to Qin Huairu. Otherwise, Sha Zhu, a pervert, would never fall for her.
Her job is not bad and she is a formal employee of the street office.
Wei Shufen is an only child, with only her elderly father still alive. Her own salary is enough to support herself, and she has no family burden.
To be honest, this Wei Shufen is a woman that is hard to find even with a lantern. If Sha Zhu can find such a woman to spend his life with, it would be a blessing from his previous life.
Liu Zhiye said coldly: "Zhu Zi, what were you doing before? You should have listened to me and kept your big mouth shut. You just wouldn't listen, and now look what's happened, both of you have lost everything and the wife you wanted..." His voice was full of disappointment and anger, which made people feel a chill.
"Go away. Your sister-in-law can't do anything about it. You made your own shit, so you have to clean it up yourself."
When Sha Zhu heard this, he became extremely depressed and pleaded pitifully: "Don't be like this! Brother! Please help me this time. I know I was wrong. From now on, I will never make mistakes again..." Sha Zhu's words were full of helplessness and regret, which made people feel his sincerity and remorse.
Seeing this, Gan Ning really couldn't bear it. She patted Liu Zhiye lightly with a look of rebuke. Then, she turned to Sha Zhu and said gently, "Zhu Zi, I can't guarantee the result. So I'll try to persuade him. If it doesn't work, I'll help you estimate one."
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu was overjoyed and jumped up. He nodded and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law! You are really a living Bodhisattva..."
Oh, he's starting to be poor again.
