Chapter 353 Good things come in hard times
The day after Wang Po came to the courtyard, Sha Zhu left work at the restaurant early, carrying the food he had packed from the restaurant.

That’s right, Sha Zhu’s old habit came back again. He started bringing things from the hotel home again. However, he did it very covertly, and the manager planted by Lou Xiaoe in the hotel had not discovered it yet.

As soon as they saw the lunch box in Shazhu Shazhu's hand, the habit engraved in their DNA immediately started to move.

"Sha Zhu, what delicious food have you brought back again?" Yan Bugui looked at him with great envy. When Sha Zhu worked for Yan Jiecheng before, he would bring four or five dishes home every day. Now it started again, and Yan Bugui's previous memories were evoked again.

In the past, he could occasionally get some food from Lee Seung-ri, but since Lee Seung-ri got married, he no longer had this opportunity. Yan Bugui didn't know for a moment why Lee Seung-ri didn't allow him to get some food, he always thought that he had done nothing wrong.

"Uncle, please don't think about my lunch box. If you want to eat, let your eldest son treat you. This kid has never invited you and Aunt to dine in his restaurant since he opened the shop." Sha Zhu smiled and stabbed Yan Bugui in the heart.

Yan Bugui glanced at Sha Zhu with a bit of annoyance. This Sha Zhu really kept talking about things that were not relevant.

"Oh, this is a blind date for you, Shazhu. I say this blind date won't work." Yan Bugui didn't tolerate Shazhu either. You bring up the fact that my eldest son is unfilial, so I'll bring up your blind date.

"Hey, Third Uncle, I didn't provoke you, why are you saying that to me?" Sha Zhu was unhappy when he heard this. He thought that although he was old, he didn't have any requirements to find a young girl, and his request was not excessive.

"You still don't believe it? Qin Huairu is here, how can you succeed in the blind date?" Yan Bugui was not optimistic about Sha Zhu's move. Think about it, Qin Huairu couldn't bear to see Sha Zhu get married.

"I'm telling you, Third Uncle, if my blind date today doesn't work out it'll all be your fault." Sha Zhu's originally happy mood was instantly ruined by what Yan Bugui said, so Sha Zhu couldn't help but blame Yan Bugui.

"It has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe me, go back and have a look." Yan Bugui said that he would not take the blame and just asked Sha Zhu to go back and wait and see.

Sha Zhu lost his good mood and carried his lunch box into the middle courtyard.

"Silly dad, you've brought back a lunch box. Let me see what delicious food is inside." This is Xiaodang who has completely inherited his mother's personality.

Qin Huairu was still washing clothes in the yard. She heard yesterday that Sha Zhu was going to have a blind date today, so she was waiting for Sha Zhu by the pool to see what the person he was going to have a blind date with looked like. Xiaodang and Huaihua, who heard the news, also came up to Sha Zhu.

"Go away, not today. Today is the day of my blind date." Sha Zhu was a little smug, and glanced at Qin Huairu who was washing clothes on the side.

Qin Huairu was not so anxious at the moment. This was just a blind date and she had not met Sha Zhu's blind date yet. Who knew if Sha Zhu would like her?

"Silly Dad, you really want to go on a blind date? Then what should we do and what should my mom do?" Xiao Dang was very dissatisfied with Sha Zhu's decision.

"That's right, that's right. Have you ever considered my mother's feelings?" Huaihua was also standing up for her mother.

"Don't make a fuss. It's your mother's fault for not giving me a child. I get angry when I talk about this. I always thought there was something wrong with my body." Sha Zhu got angry when he mentioned this. "Sha Zhu, I also want three children. I went to the hospital to ask the doctors before. They said that the IUD has been in place for too long. It's not good for the body to take it off now. Besides, I can't have children now, so I didn't take it off." Qin Huairu knew that Sha Zhu was very soft-hearted and couldn't bear to hear this.

Sure enough, after hearing Qin Huairu's words, Sha Zhu's expression became much better. Although Sha Zhu felt very sympathetic towards Qin Huairu, the blind date still had to go on. However, Sha Zhu's impression of Qin Huairu suddenly became much better.

Qin Huairu didn't expect to win Sha Zhu back today. She just wanted to leave an impression on Sha Zhu first. This matter would come slowly in the future. Sha Zhu could not escape her control.

After Sha Zhu returned home, he cooked some simple dishes and then put the food he brought back from the restaurant on the table. After a while, Wang Po came in with a middle-aged woman in her forties. The woman who had a blind date with Sha Zhu was quite pretty and Sha Zhu fell in love with her at first sight.

Wang Po introduced the two people first, and then the three of them began to chat while eating, with Wang Po interjecting from time to time.

The conversation between the three of them was relatively smooth, but Wang Po would not let this blind date succeed immediately, not to mention that the person who came for the blind date was an actor hired by Wang Po. So the person on the blind date put forward a condition that Sha Zhu could not agree to, which was that after marriage, the two of them must not support other unimportant people.

If they were Sha Zhu's parents, those who came for the blind date would have no objection. However, Sha Zhu wanted to support two elderly people in the compound, which made them a little unhappy. Now he was only supporting two elderly people, but when the others got old, would Sha Zhu have to support them too?

These people's guess was indeed correct. Just look at the Liu family in the backyard and the Yan family in the front yard. Given their family traditions, no one was willing to provide for them in their old age, especially when the old man had no money.

According to Sha Zhu's method, the entire compound's pension system will fall on his shoulders.

Of course Sha Zhu was unwilling to do so. Although Yi Zhonghai's reputation had been ruined, in Sha Zhu's eyes, Yi Zhonghai was the same as Qin Huairu. They just had some problems with their children, but they both had no problems in providing for others in their old age. You see, Yi Zhonghai had been taking care of the deaf old lady in the backyard who had no relatives with him, and Qin Huairu insisted on not remarrying after her husband died, and she supported her mother-in-law and three children.

These two people are very remarkable in Sha Zhu's eyes.

If Li Shengli knew what Sha Zhu was thinking, he would definitely laugh at him and say that it was okay for Yi Zhonghai to take care of an old lady who had no relatives with him. Although he knew that he chose to be a role model in the compound for his future retirement, he did take good care of the old lady in the backyard.

As for Qin Huairu, there are many people like Qin Huairu. Among other widows like Qin Huairu who have lost their husbands but still take care of their in-laws, no one is as good at crying as Qin Huairu.

What's more, Qin Huairu is a city dweller, has her own job and eats commercial grain. What about those widows in the countryside who lost their husbands? They don't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear. So Li Shengli has never understood why Sha Zhu thinks Qin Huairu is a good woman.

Wang Po took the woman who came for a blind date away from Sha Zhu's house. Sha Zhu's conversation with the woman ended in a bad mood. Sha Zhu had gone crazy and only thought about how he could have face among these people in the compound.

If Sha Zhu has no money now, then he will have no reputation in this compound.

Before leaving, Wang Po made another appointment with Sha Zhu to bring someone over for a blind date the next day.
