Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

Chapter 212 Saving Money with Rainwater

What does this guy called Brother Jun do? Is he involved in organized crime?

Should we prepare this in advance? Otherwise, when he comes to us, we'll be hesitant to deal with him!

I was afraid that dealing with it would implicate me. Dealing with it beforehand means it won't affect me much!

Sha Zhu really wanted to kick these people out, but while the idea was good, these people had all come because of the teachers' propaganda at the school, so naturally he couldn't just kick them out.

Normally, Sha Zhu would have to cooperate with the teacher's propaganda to get these people to voluntarily contribute the money in their pockets.

I didn't see Yan Laokou; he's currently in the courtyard sharing stories of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army on the front lines of the Korean War.

If Sha Zhu dares to chase people away, his colleagues at the neighborhood committee can bring him to justice.

Damn it, they came to my house to promote themselves! Sha Zhu was furious inside, but he was all smiles on his face!

They quietly moved the queen bee and some of her offspring outside the courtyard wall to work, keeping an eye on a few ill-intentioned people.

Half an hour later, Teacher Xu led the children out of the house. Teacher Xu was still in high spirits and hadn't had enough, while Old Man Yan was getting a little hoarse from talking.

After Teacher Xu and Uncle Cai Quanwu said goodbye, everyone filed out, and the figures in the courtyard gradually disappeared.

"Zhu Zi, keep an eye on Yu Shui and don't let him go out. I still have to go to work at the small restaurant," Cai Quanwu said as he walked over to Sha Zhu.

"Okay, I understand, Second Uncle!"

Sha Zhu had obviously heard it. Yu Shui's teacher even wanted to take Yu Shui away to continue spreading the word.

Second Uncle used work as an excuse to refuse, and Sha Zhu was not very willing to cooperate, pushing everything onto his Second Uncle. It is estimated that Teacher Xu has already labeled Sha Zhu as unambitious.

Rainy was playing with some classmates inside, and there was no way to discipline her, so Shazhu could only continue washing vegetables and cooking.

At this time, all the old ladies at the entrances of the alleys from south to north in Nanluoguxiang knew about Shazhu's sister.

The fact that a seven or eight-year-old girl donated seventeen or eighteen yuan has drawn both praise and criticism.

Where would a little girl get so much money? It's probably just her family putting on a show. Although they had doubts, they didn't dare to shout it out loud.

That evening, after Yu Shui's classmates had all left, Sha Zhu called Yu Shui to the living room for dinner.

Before Sha Zhu could even scold Yu Shui, Yu Shui ran up to Sha Zhu and said, "Brother, I don't have any money on me. Can you give me two more cents?"

Sha Zhu was furious. "Let me ask you first, where did all the money you have come from?"

Seeing that her brother was unhappy, Yu Shui assumed that he had been hiding his secret stash of money.

He counted on his fingers, saying, "It was given by the eldest master's wife and the second master's wife, by the eldest master's uncle and the second master's uncle, by my second uncle, by the pocket money you gave me, brother, and by my nephew."

"Junior disciple? Which junior disciple!"

"They were the three apprentices from the small restaurant! Two of them left later, and there's still one left!"

"They gave you pocket money on their own initiative?"

Rain lowered her head and said, "No, I just said I wanted to eat candy, and they took out money to buy me candy."

"He Yushui, are you kidding me? When have you ever been short of candy! Look at the clothes you're wearing, and look at the clothes my three apprentices are wearing. How dare you ask them for money?"

Xiaoyushui explained, "I didn't ask for candy at first; they gave me pocket money on their own initiative."

Sha Zhu was furious. This little girl isn't short of money; she has plenty to eat and drink at home. She's asking her own apprentice for money.

"How much money do you ask them for each time?"

"They gave me two cents each time,"

"one person?"

Rainwater is a little scared; her brother's voice is so loud today.

"That's six cents for three people each time,"

Sha Zhu didn't know how to educate his younger sister anymore. She didn't squander the money; she donated it all.

If you try to reason with her, she won't understand, since she's too young.

"Rain, didn't I tell you not to be high-profile? You have to be low-profile."

“But the teacher said that the volunteer soldiers on the front lines are suffering a lot, and they need our help! Xiaofang’s father was also a volunteer soldier!”

Sha Zhu has been defeated! Speechless!

"You can continue to accept the money your senior uncle and mistress give you, as well as the money your second uncle gives you. You need to tell me how much you give them, because your brother, me, will have to reciprocate."

"Hey, my apprentice is offering you money, so don't take it. They're living a harder life than you are."

"Oh, I see, brother," Xiaoyushui's eyes darted around, disagreeing with her brother's words. Those junior disciples ate meat every day, yet they were suffering! Her classmates sometimes couldn't even get enough to eat with cornbread!

"Brother, give me two cents, I don't have a single penny left." Yu Shui pestered her brother again.

"What do you need money for? Hurry up and eat!"

"I'll deposit two cents, and I promise I won't ask my nephew for money again." Yu Shui clung to Sha Zhu, refusing to eat, determined to squeeze more money out of her brother. Meanwhile, she silently thought to herself, "It doesn't count if they give me money voluntarily."

"I don't have two cents on me. Eat first, I'll save it for you," Sha Zhu said, defeated by his sister, and turned his pockets inside out to show Yu Shui.

Rainwater naturally didn't believe it, so she personally searched through all the pockets before reluctantly pouting and returning to her seat to eat.

The next day, Sha Zhu rode his bicycle to school with Yu Shui in his arms. The acquaintances he met on the way all praised Yu Shui. As for what he really thought, Sha Zhu could only chuckle.

When he arrived at the factory, Sha Zhu just laughed it off when his colleagues asked him questions.

The development of events is often beyond the control of an individual's will.

Sha Zhu can only let things take their course for now. As long as no one gets angry at him, things will work themselves out.

If you want to cover this up, you need to find a way to create something bigger to divert everyone's attention!

While Sha Zhu was at work thinking about how to divert everyone's attention, his opportunity was just around the corner. However, opportunity always favors the prepared.

After get off work, Sha Zhu went to the school to collect rainwater, then rode his bicycle with the rainwater still on his hands, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Rainy Day sat on the front of her bicycle, nagging her brother, "Brother, can you please not come pick me up? I'll go home with my classmates by myself!"

"I can't go these next few days. I was planning to go fishing again, but Old Man Yan just won't leave. I'll wait a few more days," Sha Zhu casually offered an excuse to Yu Shui.

When the bicycle reached the Iron Pagoda Temple, Sha Zhu stopped to look at it.

I heard that the pagoda enshrines a "living Buddha," which is said to be the mummified body of a foreign monk, popularly believed to be the portrait of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen. I don't know if it's true.

This foreign monk was enshrined because his body did not decay, and he became an important symbol of the Iron Pagoda Temple.

After passing the Iron Pagoda Temple, the bicycle had just turned into an alley when suddenly, seven or eight people jumped out from both sides of the alley. Sha Zhu recognized them at a glance; two of them were the young men who had visited his home yesterday, one of whom was called Brother Jun.
