Although it was a cloudy day, it was still quite hot and humid because it was summer.

As the dishes on the table were eaten up, the people sitting at the table went home one after another, leaving only tables of empty dishes and chopsticks in the entire central courtyard without anyone cleaning them up.

Sha Zhu originally wanted to ask a few people in the cafeteria to clean up together, but he saw that these three people were just starting to eat.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally couldn't bear to speak.

Just when he was about to clean up by himself, Yan Bugui appeared out of nowhere, grinned and said, "Zhu Zi, do you need help?"

"Just pay fifty cents, and I'll go home and ask someone to help you clear the table and wash the dishes."

You should know that when Yan Jiecheng, the head of the Yan family, held a wedding banquet, Sha Zhu helped out and cooked for free.

That would have been fine, but in order to please Yan Bugui and get him to find a date as soon as possible, he even gave him a gift.

After the banquet, he also helped the Yan family to clean up and do other things.

He could not imagine how Yan Bugui could have the nerve to make such a request, so he sneered:

"Uncle, when your Yan Jiecheng got married, I didn't ask your family for a penny. I'll just help out with the chores, okay?"

"So you just introduced me to that girl, and that's fine, but now you're asking me for money?"

Yan Bugui was questioned by him and probably felt that it was not easy to earn these fifty cents, so he simply waved his hand and walked towards the front yard.

Sha Zhu stepped forward to stop him and insisted that he explain the situation clearly.

Yan Bugui was anxious: "Shazhu, you were the one who came to help me. Besides, I promised to introduce you to someone, and I did it."

"You don't like that girl, who can you blame?"

After finishing his words, Yan Bugui was about to leave, but was stopped by Sha Zhu again: "Uncle, I'll leave this job to you. Come back to me to get your money after the work is done."

When he heard that there was money to be won, Yan Bugui immediately smiled happily, ran home in two steps, and called his wife and children to help.

He moved a stool to the middle courtyard and sat there, watching his wife and children busying around.

The youngest daughter, Yan Jiedi, was in charge of wiping the tables. After wiping a few tables, she felt tired and complained to her mother, "Mom, why doesn't our dad work?"

"How long will it take us to wash all these dishes?"

After hearing what her youngest daughter said, the third aunt looked back at Yan Bugui's leisurely appearance and said to her, "Jie Di, your father is responsible for making money to support our family."

"This kind of rough work is not suitable for him to do. Let's stop talking. Go and clean the table, okay?"

Yan Jiedi was still young after all, and she hesitated for a long time before she walked towards the dirty table with a pout.

When Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang heard their sister's words, they stopped instinctively. When they heard what the third aunt said, they rolled their eyes.

Then he went to take the bowl to the sink and asked the three aunts to wash it.

Generally speaking, collecting dishes is much faster than washing them. After collecting the dishes, the two boys wanted to slip away. Yan Bugui was sharp-eyed and stopped them immediately.

Let them go to the sink and wash the dishes together, otherwise, there will be no share for them for dinner tonight.

The two boys had no choice but to look towards the pool obediently with tears in their eyes and started working reluctantly.

When there are more people involved, work happens faster. In a short while, the three aunts and their two sons had washed all the dishes and put them neatly aside.

The table was also wiped clean by Yan Jiedi. Seeing this, Yan Bugui smiled, stood up and walked towards Sha Zhu's house.

After knocking on the door a few times, Sha Zhu opened the door and walked out of the house. Yan Bugui quickly told him that the work had been done.

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, don't forget to pay fifty cents for your work."

Sha Zhu pushed his hand away, walked into the yard and shouted, "Everyone, come out and claim your own tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks."

In those days, no one had many bowls, chopsticks, and furniture, so to hold a banquet, one had to borrow belongings from the people in the courtyard to get enough.

Hearing Sha Zhu's shouting, people headed towards the central courtyard to claim their belongings.

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Sha Zhu said to them, "The furniture and dishes for everyone were cleaned by Uncle San's family."

"Everyone, don't forget to thank Uncle San and his family! Um, Uncle San, thank you first."

At this time, everyone who took their belongings would thank Yan Bugui and then go home.

Yan Bugui wanted to tell Sha Zhu not to thank him and just pay the money, but he couldn't say that in front of so many people.

After all, he is the third uncle in the courtyard. If he says in front of so many people that he did it to earn fifty cents, it would be ridiculous.

This is why he brought his family to work here. If this gets out, everyone will despise him and it will probably become a topic of gossip.

Not to mention anything else, if you want to become a second uncle or a first uncle in the future, it will be difficult to succeed after this incident.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly, watched Sha Zhu walk back into the house and close the door, but he couldn't say a word.

After returning home, Yan Bugui felt more and more that he had been wronged. He sat at the table and sulked for a long time, then slapped his head:

Today is Shazhu's wedding day. How dare you cheat him out of 50 cents on such a special day? Don't even think about having your wedding night tonight.

Thinking of this, he called the brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, and after whispering in their ears for a while, the brothers nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui finally smiled, as if he had let out a breath of anger.

That afternoon, Lingzi's parents gave Lingzi a few words of instruction and then went back to their hometown with Uncle Lin Donglai.

At night, Sha Zhu suggested going out to eat, so the couple called Lin Donglai and his sister, and they went out to have a good meal together.

After dinner, Yan Bugui strolled back and forth in the front yard and the middle yard from time to time to observe, and found that Sha Zhu's house was pitch black and there was obviously no one in the house.

This situation was somewhat unexpected. Just when he was wondering whether Sha Zhu and his wife would go back to the countryside together.

Hearing voices at the gate of the yard, he quickly walked behind the flowers and plants and pretended to water them.

When he found out that the people who returned to the yard were Lin Donglai and his sister and Sha Zhu and his wife, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: his arrangements were not in vain.

When Lin Donglai was about to enter the house, he realized something was wrong: Yan Bugui was standing in the front yard watering plants and did not come forward to say hello as usual.

As the saying goes, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. He couldn't help but start to pay attention.

There were not many entertainment activities those days, so Shazhu went back to the house and washed up first, and then urged Lingzi to wash up too.

Tonight is his wedding night, so he must seize the time and not waste this wonderful time.

Although the two of them have become husband and wife in the past few days, Lingzi still can't let go. She can't help blushing when she sees Shazhu staring at her.

Sha Zhu loved to see Lingzi's shy look, and at this moment he was itching to the extreme...
