"Yangzi, I'm your sister-in-law!"
Hearing the sound at the bedroom door, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile.
This Jia Zhangshi was quite cautious, in order not to attract the attention of others.
They didn't go through the front door, but through the bedroom.
After wiping his hands, Lin Yang opened the door to the second bedroom and saw Qin Huairu standing alone in the doorway, holding a wad of money in her hand and looking at him with a worried expression.
Lin Yang asked with a hint of curiosity, "Sister-in-law, why are you the one delivering the money?"
Qin Huairu pursed her lips at the person behind her and said softly, "It's all because you, my nemesis, demanded too much, which broke Old Madam Jia's heart. She said that seeing you now causes her heartache, so she had no choice but to send me!"
As she spoke, she handed the five hundred yuan in her hand to Lin Yang and said, "You rascal, take this money, but tell me the truth, can you really pick up Dongxu from the police station and take him to the security department?"
Peeking behind Qin Huairu, I noticed that the gate leading to the Jia family's house was half-closed.
Lin Yang chuckled as he straightened Qin Huairu's clothes, saying in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, when have I ever gone back on my word? I'll take care of things tonight!"
"Be gentle!" Qin Huairu blushed instantly when she felt Lin Yang's playful movements. She carefully looked back and, finding nothing amiss, said hesitantly, "Then I'll leave it all to you!"
"I'll leave the door open for you tonight!" Lin Yang withdrew his hand, sniffed the lingering scent on his hand, and smiled.
"What!" Qin Huairu said nervously, "We're going tonight?"
"What?" Lin Yang said nonchalantly, "If you don't want to, that's fine too. I'll just make less noodles later. I was originally planning to prepare some for you."
These days, Lin Yang has no interest in talking about love or romance.
To deal with someone like Qin Huairu, small favors and small gestures will suffice.
He believed that a bowl of noodles would be enough to make Qin Huairu agree.
really.
Upon hearing the word "noodles," Qin Huairu immediately smelled the delicate aroma of noodles cooked with lard.
She swallowed hard, and Qin Huairu nodded slightly, saying, "Okay! I'll come find you after my mother-in-law falls asleep!"
"Glug glug..." Hearing the sound of the water boiling in the pot, Lin Yang didn't waste any more words with Qin Huairu. He nodded and said, "Alright, that's settled then. We'll talk about it tonight!"
After saying that, he turned and left the doorway, returning to the pot to stir the noodles to prevent them from sticking together.
Just as the noodles were cooked and Lin Yang was putting them in a bowl...
Suddenly, the sound of a jeep braking came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Sha Zhu said in a rough voice, "Factory manager, you can leave here. I'll head back now!"
Sha Zhu, who was originally taken by Factory Director Yang to cook for the big boss, was praised by the big boss today for his cooking, and Factory Director Yang was extremely satisfied with this.
Only then did he ask his driver to take Sha Zhu back to the courtyard house.
It wasn't completely dark yet at that moment.
Many people are having dinner at home.
People inside the courtyard heard Sha Zhu's voice and opened their doors to peek out.
Lin Yang wasn't in the mood for watching the spectacle. Looking at the soup noodles covered with a generous amount of golden scrambled eggs in front of him, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
However, before he could even take two bites, he heard knocking on the door outside.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
"Lin Yang, open the door!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
"Open the door!"
Lin Yang, who had just eaten two bites of eggs, knew without even opening the door that the only person who could knock like that was Sha Zhu.
What is this bastard looking for me for?
Lin Yang frowned slightly in exasperation, but judging from Sha Zhu's posture, it seemed that he would keep knocking if he didn't open the door.
He had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and open the door.
"Shazhu, what do you want from me?"
Feeling the cold wind whistling outside, Lin Yang said impatiently.
"Look what this is!"
Ignoring Lin Yang's expression, Sha Zhu raised the lunchbox high, beaming with pride, and said, "It's all meat! All fish! There's even sweet and sour pork! Do you know sweet and sour pork? It has pineapple in it!!"
He then said smugly, "Even though I'm not in the kitchen, I can still bring food back to eat! And tonight I'm even riding back in Director Yang's car!"
Seeing Sha Zhu's smug look, Lin Yang said calmly, "And then?"
Seeing Lin Yang's indifferent expression, Sha Zhu suddenly felt a little uneasy.
What's going on?!
I brought all these delicious dishes to show off, but you're so calm and collected, how can I possibly enjoy showing off?
Jia Zhangshi from the next room also opened her door. After hearing Sha Zhu's words, she couldn't help but show a greedy look and said:
"Silly Zhu, I'm so old and I've never even eaten pineapple before. Let me try your sweet and sour pork!"
Having gotten a cold shoulder from Lin Yang, Sha Zhu was initially a little embarrassed.
But as soon as Jia Zhangshi spoke, he immediately glared at her with his bull-like eyes, snorted coldly, and said, "You've never eaten pineapple but you want to try my sweet and sour pork? You haven't even eaten shit yet, do you want me to shit some for you!"
After saying that, without paying any attention to Jia Zhangshi's ashen face, Sha Zhu took the lunchbox and headed home.
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi's face turned ashen. She had not only failed to gain an advantage but had also suffered a loss, being scolded for no reason.
The other neighbors who were watching the commotion, however, all smiled with amusement after they saw that Jia Zhangshi had been insulted by Sha Zhu.
Whenever Jia Zhangshi encountered trouble, she liked to point her finger at people and curse them. If she couldn't win an argument, she would lie on the ground and throw a tantrum.
Only someone like Sha Zhu, who doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables, could make her suffer.
