Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

He rode his bike to Wang Li's house and knocked gently. The door opened, revealing Wang Li's familiar face.

This time, Sha Zhu did not park his bicycle casually outside the door like he did in the courtyard, but pushed it into the house carefully.

After all, the world is tough nowadays, survival is not easy, and stealing and cheating are common.

After entering the house, Wang Li enthusiastically made a cup of hot tea for Sha Zhu, and then said, "I have told my father about you!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, his heart tightened and he quickly asked, "Oh? What does my father-in-law think about this?"

Wang Li glared at him and said fiercely, "He's coming over to interrogate you personally!"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome! After all, his daughter is with me! After my father-in-law has questioned us, we will be legitimate and recognized by the elders. This way, you can also put an end to a big issue in your mind."

After hearing this, although Wang Li did not reply, the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed her inner joy.

Suddenly, Sha Zhu remembered something and asked, "By the way, how is the matter going when I asked you to find someone to teach you something?"

Wang Li frowned and replied, "There have been too many things to do these days, but I have already asked someone else to do it. I will go and ask about the situation tomorrow!"

"Well, this is a serious matter. If you can become a little famous after becoming his disciple, then you will have passed the test of your father-in-law. It will also be of great benefit to you in the future."

"Yes! I've noted them all down!" Sha Zhu responded.

But when she turned around and saw that the package in the car was still the one she had given before, she couldn't help but wonder, "What happened? Didn't the money go out?"

Sha Zhu secretly complained that he had forgotten about Wang Li, the stingy person. When Wang Li opened the package, a stack of brand new ten-yuan bills immediately filled her pocket, and at this time Wang Li's eyes seemed to be attracted by the money and became fixed.

"Wow, so much! Zhuzi, where did you get all this money? Didn't you go to deliver the money?" It was obvious that Wang Li had no intention of listening to He Yuzhu's answer and just kept muttering to herself...

After a long while, Wang Li came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. However, she held the package tightly and refused to let go. She asked anxiously: "Where did all this money come from? Does it all belong to me?"

Faced with the current situation, Sha Zhu felt very helpless. He smiled bitterly and explained: "Okay, I'll pay you back what I owe you first. As for the rest, I have other plans!"

"You are of no use at all, He Yuzhu!" Wang Li retorted.

"Hey, what do you mean? Who said I'm useless!" Sha Zhu responded somewhat dissatisfied.

Wang Li quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. If you need money, you can talk to me. I'll keep these for now."

"Leave it with you? Will you really return it to me when the time comes?" Sha Zhu asked doubtfully.

Wang Li was anxious. She said loudly, "I am your wife. If you don't put your money with me, where else can you put it? He Yuzhu, think about it carefully. Either give the money to me or we will break up! I can tell you in advance that I will never give in again this time. I'll give you a chance to make a choice!"

Sha Zhu didn't hesitate at all and answered decisively: "Then I will definitely choose money!"

The two of them fell silent for a moment, and the air seemed to freeze. Wang Li suddenly sat down on the bed and burst into tears, but her hands were still tightly holding the package.

Sha Zhu looked at Wang Li helplessly, muttering to himself: "See, if you cry now, will you start making trouble again?"

As expected, Wang Li was furious when she saw that He Yuzhu was indifferent.

"Okay! Then take this money and get out of here right away. From now on, we'll break up and never see each other again! When I meet the right person someday, I'll marry him or her! Then I'll make you feel guilty for the rest of your life! Woohoo..."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he slowly stood up from the chair, then walked silently to the bed and sat down.

Wang Li turned around, wiping away the tears that kept falling, feeling sad...

After a moment of silence, Sha Zhu finally spoke again: "How about this, we split the money in half, what do you think?"

There was a hint of helplessness and compromise in his tone.

Wang Li heard this and thought to herself that she couldn't push Sha Zhu too hard, but she was still a little dissatisfied that she only got half of the money.

So Wang Li responded: "First, give me back the portion you promised me before, and then we can divide the money!"

Seeing this, Sha Zhu quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Don't cry!"

After saying that, he reached out and gently wiped away the tears from Wang Li's cheeks.

Wang Li then burst into laughter and her mood improved a little. She took out all the money and placed it on the bed, then began to count it carefully.

Looking at the banknotes covering the bed in front of her, a hint of satisfaction and joy flashed in her eyes.

After counting the money, Sha Zhu found that apart from his share, there was an extra 17,000 yuan! There was no doubt that Zhang Tiesheng had done this on purpose - he stuffed the bag full without even bothering to count how much money there was.

But from this action, we can see that the message the other party is conveying is: as long as you follow me, you will make a lot of money.

Sha Zhu couldn't help but think to himself: "It's a pity that this bag is still too small. If it is replaced with a large sack, how much can it hold?"

Then, he took out four thousand yuan from the stack of bills and said, "This four thousand is the amount you promised to double for me. I'll take it first. Then there are fifteen thousand left. Let's split it between the two of us. Otherwise, how about this, Zhuzi, I'll keep your share for you first?"

Hearing this, Wang Li showed disappointment on her face and replied, "No, I really need it urgently, so don't think about it."

Sha Zhu said in surprise: "Wang Li, I used to think you had no interest in money! How come now when you see money..."

"How did we meet in the first place? And I can't see you every day! Let me ask you, He Yuzhu, have you ever thought about how I should deal with it? If you suddenly disappeared tomorrow, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know where to find your home!" Wang Li became more and more excited as she spoke, and her eyes gradually became moist.

"Didn't I buy you a house as our future home?" Sha Zhu showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and explained in a low voice.

"I've been looking for an opportunity to ask you about this, He Yuzhu. Why does only half of this house belong to us? What about the other half?" Wang Li stared at Sha Zhu sharply, her tone full of questioning and confusion.

Facing Wang Li's questioning, Sha Zhu seemed a little flustered and tried to evade the question with unclear words: "What's going on? I don't understand what you are saying!"

However, Wang Li was not easily fooled by him. She continued to ask, "The house is obviously a complete building. I specifically asked the neighbors, and they all said that they had never seen anyone divide it. So, which woman did you give the other half of the house to?" Her voice involuntarily rose eight octaves.

Facing Wang Li's barrage of questions, beads of sweat began to appear on Sha Zhu's forehead, but he still stubbornly defended himself, "Where is the other woman? That half was originally bought by someone else. Since Master Kang is quite famous, I just entrusted it to him. Don't let your imagination run wild and be suspicious!"

Wang Li knew very well that if there was no solid evidence to catch Sha Zhu in the act, he would definitely refuse to admit it. At this moment, she had a vague idea of ​​the truth of the matter, but she didn't know how to deal with this situation.

Even though she was not with He Yuzhu at the moment, based on her understanding of his character, he would probably still give her the money; however, she would probably have no chance of getting that mansion.

After all, she was a native Shanghai girl. Although she had seen the decadence and debauchery of the bustling city, those fleeting glimpses had nothing to do with her family.

My father, a teacher, always looked down upon money, but since I was a child, I had never worn bright and beautiful clothes, not to mention going to those luxuriously decorated high-end restaurants to taste delicious food.

Whenever I saw those places from afar, I would feel ashamed because I was short of money. I had to lower my head silently, for fear that the guests inside would see how shabby I looked.

In the past, I was determined to get along with Wang Hao, just because he wanted to have the opportunity to develop in the United States of America as he said, and then he would take me away with him.

Is it still necessary to pursue such a life now? Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Song Jia again. She has learned a lot of tricks from others! It seems that I should find an opportunity to imitate her.

Just as I was daydreaming, I suddenly heard Sha Zhu's voice in my ears: "Come on, I'm exhausted from running around all day. Come and give me a few massages to loosen up my muscles." Before he finished speaking, he had already started to undress.

Wang Li glared at He Yuzhu unhappily, but she still made the bed and folded He Yuzhu's clothes neatly. She took care of He Yuzhu as if she were serving an old man at home.

Sha Zhu suddenly reached out and pulled Wang Li into his arms. Amid her screams, he said with a smile, "Hey, now it's my turn to serve you!"

As night falls, there is cloud and rain.
