Liu Haizhong's purpose in coming over to greet Yan Fugui was quite simple: his beloved eldest son had returned, and he wanted to show him off to everyone in the compound.
Yan Fugui was well aware of Liu Haizhong's purpose in inviting him, but he didn't care too much about why Liu Haizhong was in such a hurry, as long as he had food and drink.
After all, the food Liu Haizhong's family hosted was definitely not bad; at worst, he could just say a few nice words.
What should have been a joyous occasion turned sour when Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi joined in, causing Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui to both frown.
The troublemakers from these two compounds have gotten together; just talking about it makes you think it'll be a bit of a hassle.
Liu Haizhong's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, and he looked at Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu with obvious impatience, saying, "What does this have to do with you two! You two get out of here!"
Yan Fugui, feeling obligated to help, chimed in, "That's right! Jia Zhangshi, Shazhu, Lao Liu and I have something to discuss. What does this have to do with you two?"
"Go away, you two go do what you're supposed to do! Don't bother me here!" Yan Fugui also looked disgusted, as if he had seen flies, and told the two of them to get lost.
Hearing Yan Fugui say this, both Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu were unhappy.
Sha Zhu yelled, "Third Uncle, what does this have to do with you! Come over here!"
“That’s right, that’s right, Yan Fugui, this is none of your business! We can go wherever we want!” Jia Zhangshi echoed Sha Zhu’s words and shouted at Yan Fugui.
Seeing that both of them were arguing back at him, Yan Fugui shifted his gaze to Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong didn't even need Yan Fugui to say anything; he automatically sided with Yan Fugui and said impatiently, "I have something to discuss with Lao Yan! What are you two doing here!"
"I'm not treating the entire hospital to a meal!"
"You two, stop causing trouble here!" A hint of hostility flashed in Liu Haizhong's eyes. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably just let it go and stop bothering with this matter.
But who was Liu Haizhong facing? He was facing Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu, the two most shameless people.
The two acted as if they hadn't seen Liu Haizhong's gaze, and Jia Zhangshi continued to say to Liu Haizhong, "Oh dear, Second Uncle! Look how difficult things are for me!"
“You all talk about your business! For your family, it’s just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. Just let us eat along with you, that’s enough!” Madam Jia Zhang simply started playing the victim with Liu Haizhong.
Sha Zhu also had his own ideas. After Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, Sha Zhu followed up by saying, "Second Uncle, I saw that your Guangqi has returned!"
"I grew up with Guangqi, so now that we're back, shouldn't we have a drink together? It's a bit much if you don't let us have a drink together!"
"Besides, I've heard that Guang Qi is doing really well these days!"
Sha Zhu's two sentences hit Liu Haizhong right where it hurts. If he hadn't not planned to invite Sha Zhu beforehand, Liu Haizhong would have already invited Sha Zhu over for a couple of drinks. Liu Haizhong didn't even invite Yi Zhonghai.
In Liu Haizhong's eyes, the only family in the compound that he could find worthy of his attention was Lin Tian's family. Even inviting Yan Fugui's family was just to make Yan Fugui envious, simply to have Yan Fugui serve as a control group.
After Sha Zhu finished speaking, Liu Haizhong was speechless for a moment, which gave Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi the opportunity to speak.
Regardless of whether Liu Haizhong agreed or not, the two walked directly to the backyard.
Sha Zhu then turned around and pretended to invite them, saying, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you two hurry up! We'll go ahead first!"
"Yes, yes, you two hurry up, I'm starving! I've been busy for ages!" Seeing Sha Zhu talking so shamelessly, Jia Zhangshi also said something to Liu Haizhong, just like Sha Zhu.
After they finished speaking, as if afraid that Liu Haizhong would get in their way, they quickly walked towards the backyard... ran towards...
And so, Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi, relying on their shamelessness, successfully got a free meal, leaving Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui speechless.
Yan Fugui even thought to himself that these two people were too shameless. If he were to be as shameless as them, wouldn't he be able to gain even more benefits in the future?
Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu ran all the way to the backyard, and without thinking twice, they barged into Liu Haizhong's house.
When Aunt Erda, who was cooking, saw Shazhu and Jia Zhangshi barge in, she was completely stunned. She stopped what she was doing and asked, "Shazhu, Jia Zhangshi, what are you two doing in our house?"
It wasn't just Second Aunt who was dumbfounded; Liu Guangqi was equally stunned. Didn't Liu Haizhong say he was going to invite the prominent figures in the courtyard? How come he ended up inviting Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi instead?
Could it be that during the time I've been away from the compound, something drastic has happened to the situation there?
But no matter what changes occur, you can't invite Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi to your own family's dinner party, can you?
Upon hearing Aunt Er's question, Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi casually sat down at the table. Jia Zhangshi pursed her lips, noticing that the food hadn't even been served yet.
Sha Zhu said nonchalantly, "We're here to eat! Second Uncle invited us to dinner, so we came. Second Uncle is waiting for Third Uncle to come over together!"
After saying that, Sha Zhu waved to Liu Guangqi and said, "What are you thinking about here? It's been so long! Come sit down and let's chat for a while!"
Liu Guangqi's head was buzzing. He only came to his senses when he heard Sha Zhu calling him. He quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I have something to help with!"
"Hehe, you two sit down first!"
Liu Haizhong forced a smile and gave Sha Zhu a couple of perfunctory replies before turning around and leaving the house. He went into the yard to wait for Liu Haizhong to return from outside.
Upon seeing Liu Haizhong return with Yan Fugui, Liu Guangqi quickly ran a few steps, pulled Liu Haizhong aside, and questioned him in a low voice, "Why did you invite Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi here?"
