Chapter 99 Dilemma
I watched Principal Zhang Tianyong and teacher Lu Qinghuan pushing their bicycles, and their staggering figures gradually disappeared under the dim kerosene street lights.

Wang Deming sighed to the sky.
How come I am so outstanding?
Why am I so different?

How come I am shining like a firefly in the dark?
At this time, a snowflake fell from the sky onto Wang Deming's lips, feeling cool; one, two, three, four, six, seven, eight, nine.
Auspicious snow means a good harvest, but why is my heart so cold?
"Oh, you've fallen to the point of starving at the gate of the courtyard?"

"You're going to continue pretending to be rich?"

"Are you still going to take over my house? If you do, I'll give it to you!"

Wang Deming turned his head and saw Sha Zhu walking out from the corner of the alley with one foot high and one foot low. He shook off the snow on his shoulders and glanced at him sideways. A pungent smell of onion, ginger, garlic and cooking smoke also came with it.

Wang Deming took a half step back unnoticeably, raised his eyebrows slightly, and stared at Sha Zhu's greasy and twisted face with an unfriendly look.

Just when I wanted to vent my anger, a punching bag appeared?
I rubbed my hands and moved my fingers, and suddenly remembered that the sister of this silly guy across the street was at my home.

There's nothing wrong with beating up the fool, but the thought of the little girl crying is...
Alas, I am too kind.

He sighed in his heart, put his hands in his pockets, and said contemptuously: "Take it! Why not?"

"Have you never heard the saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse?"

"I have so many things in my room, I can just sell them and then find some money from my hometown to buy three rooms. Isn't it easy?"

"It's better than someone who occupies three main rooms but can barely fill his stomach and can't even take care of his sister!"

"What did you say?" Sha Zhu immediately raised his fist and rushed over.

"Pa!" Wang Deming casually slapped Sha Zhu's fist away, knocking him to the ground with both hands. He glared at him and taught him a lesson: "You'll have to take the beating if you talk too much!"

"Stand at attention when you get hit!"

"Don't show off your skills in front of me. If I give you one hand, you're not even a master."

"Your sister is staying at my house now."

After Wang Deming finished speaking, he ignored him and turned back to the yard.

Sha Zhu got up from the ground, untied his collar, and continued to rush forward. However, when he heard Wang Deming's words, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Deming's back, and followed him silently.

As soon as Wang Deming returned to the house, he shouted to the inner room: "Yushui, your brother is back."

I opened the door, sat at the eight-immortals table, poured myself a cup of tea, and continued to think about today's events.

Sha Zhu followed closely and lifted the door curtain. Just as he stood still, he saw his sister He Yushui running out happily from the bedroom in Wang Deming's house.

"Brother, you're back!"

She ran to Shazhu, her little face raised with excitement, "Can you smell me now? Do I smell good?"

Sha Zhu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw his sister's current appearance. He Yushui was dressed up neatly, with red lips and white teeth, and her hair was braided into two small braids that swung behind her.

The clothes on her body were all changed, but they seemed to be boys' short coats with buttoned collars and were made of satin.
Then, a gentle middle-aged woman with a fair face, a silver basin-like face, wearing a pink satin jacket with a slanting collar, and a slightly bulging belly came out from the inner room.

Yan Baozhen saw Shazhu standing at the door, smiled and greeted him, and explained in a gentle voice: "Brother Yushui, you are not at home today, so my daughter invited Yushui to come to our house to play."

"The two kids were having fun and were sweating, so I gave them a bath at the same time. It was rude."

"Oh, right," Yan Baozhen turned around and pointed at the clothes hanging above the stove, "I just washed the children's clothes with the hot water. The third aunt next door helped to wash them."

"The clothes I changed for Yu Shui are my eldest son's old clothes from childhood. Don't worry, they are clean inside and out."

"Thank you." Sha Zhu lowered his head awkwardly and murmured his thanks. He wanted to reach out and hug He Yu Shui, but he was worried that his dirty clothes would dirty Yu Shui, so he was at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing this, Yan Baozhen was considerate and gave Sha Zhu a way out. "Brother Yushui, can you let Yushui wear this dress for a few days?" "If you don't mind, give it to me when you change it. I will change the style to make it suitable for girls."

"Thank you for your trouble!"

"You're welcome. We're neighbors living in the front and back yards."

"You've been tired all day, so take the rain back home and rest early."

"See you later, you."

Sha Zhu silently bowed to Yan Baozhen to express his gratitude, and reached out to pull He Yushui, but wanted to pull his hand back halfway. He Yushui took the initiative to hold his brother's hand and smiled brightly.

After Shazhu and his sister left, Yan Baozhen pounded his lower back and raised his voice slightly to the inner room: "Renchun, you should go to the study to practice calligraphy!"

"Okay mom, I'll go right away."

"Well, put your toys away yourself."

".Mom, my sister wants to play more."

"Well, then you two can collect them together later."

Yan Baozhen's belly was already showing, and she walked with a slight splay. She slowly walked to Wang Deming and sat down. After pouring herself a glass of water, she covered her hands with the warmth, looked at Wang Deming who was deep in thought, and asked softly, "Deming, isn't joining the group a good thing?"

"Why do you seem a little worried?"

Wang Deming looked helpless and sighed: "Well, it's a good thing. I've made progress politically. But more people are paying attention to me."

"I was shopping with Xiaoru before and was seen by Director Zhang. Plus the two people who came today, the three of them are all acquaintances. If they run into Shouchun and I in the future."

"Isn't this a giveaway?"

"And I just tied the Cha family and that family onto my boat today, promising to help them make money and tide over the difficulties."

"That's also why the family agreed to let Shouchun marry me."

“But this position is debatable.”

Wang Deming felt as if he had drunk a pot of coptis water, and he felt bitter from the inside out. It was so difficult!
It seems that I have to give up something. It is difficult to have the best of both worlds.

When it’s my turn, I can only love the country more than the beauty!
"As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

Leave all those external and material things that corrupt people's hearts to me!

Let me bear all those things that lead to depravity, corruption, and beauty!

Yan Baozhen looked at Wang Deming's handsome face, his eyebrows wrinkled together, looking so miserable that he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Where's your sympathy, sister?"

"Deming, I don't believe it. Don't you know the story of Emperor Wu of Han hiding his concubine in a golden house?"

"I don't believe that you didn't think it over carefully before talking to the heads of the Cha family and that family today?"

"I don't believe you didn't think about it when you were ready to hug her left and right."

"You."
