Qin Huairu stopped dawdling and opened the other two boxes. Now Qin Huairu didn't know what to say.

Jia Zhangshi laughed even louder: "Who does Sha Zhu think he is? What kind of garbage is this? Soup? Stewed potatoes?"

Qin Huairu looked speechlessly at the three lunchboxes in front of her: stir-fried cabbage, stewed potatoes, and a soup? "Mom," she said skeptically, "this looks like the fish ball soup that Sha Zhu mentioned before."

Qin Huairu picked up the chopsticks on the table and stirred the soup. After stirring for a long time, she still couldn't find a single fish ball. Qin Huairu was dumbfounded. This damned Sha Zhu, who does he think he is, trying to fool me with this lousy dish.

While the Jia family was angry, things were quite different at the Third Uncle's house. The whole family greedily eyed the three dishes on the table: fish ball soup, sliced ​​red sausage, and stewed pork with potatoes. The stewed meat from Sha Zhu's lunchbox had even been taken out of the Third Uncle's chopsticks.

Aunt Yang Ruihua asked with some concern, "Is the old man sure he'll be alright? Won't Sha Zhu come looking for us?"

Yan Bugui picked up the glass of wine in front of him, took a sip, and then said calmly, "Don't worry, Mom. Sha Zhu definitely won't know."

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he looked at his family members who were drooling and said, "Alright, you all should eat now. Eat as much as you want today, but no one is allowed to tell anyone after you finish eating, understand?"

When he said "eat as much as you want," Yan Bugui's face twitched slightly, as if he felt sorry for the food, but there was nothing he could do. It wouldn't be good if people found out and it got back to Sha Zhu.

As long as they finish eating and destroy the evidence, no one will know about it. Yan Bugui saw that Aunt Yang Ruihua was still a little worried, so he thought for a moment and explained, "Don't worry, these things were taken away before Shazhu could take them home. How could Shazhu know who was inside? Besides, the cabbage you picked was delicious. We've just made a good deal for the Jia family."

Sha Zhu recalled how Sister Qin had coldly placed his lunchbox on his desk and left that morning. She wasn't like that before; they always joked around a bit before she left. Sha Zhu thought it was because he'd come home late the day before and hadn't stood up for Qin Huairu, which was why she was angry. So, early this morning, without even washing up, Sha Zhu stormed off to the cafeteria kitchen.

Sha Zhu was shocked to hear the middle-aged women inside vying to introduce him to potential partners as soon as he arrived at the kitchen door. They were even offering to set him up with dates! Sha Zhu was incredibly envious and jealous. Why? He'd been living with them for so long, and not a single one of them had ever mentioned it to him.
