Chapter 528: Sha Zhu Looking for a Job

Xiaodang's marriage and Huaihua's resignation and moving out of the courtyard resulted in the Jia family's life becoming increasingly difficult.

The family's living standard also changed from having meat for every meal to having meat occasionally.

After all, Qin Huairu is in charge of this aspect. At this time, she doesn't care about Sha Zhu's face. At this time, he even wants to disband this dining partnership.

The living expenses paid by the three uncles were just enough for daily meals, and it was impossible to eat better.

In the past, when Sha Zhu was able to bring back lunch boxes from the restaurant, Qin Huairu was quite willing to eat with everyone, because in this way she could save the living expenses paid by the three uncles.

It’s not possible now. Not only can we not save the living expenses, but it’s even not enough.

The reduction in food prices immediately made Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui change their expressions.

The looks of the two masters and Jia Zhang's constant nagging made Sha Zhu feel very embarrassed.

Qin Huairu didn't care whether Sha Zhu had face or not. She finally couldn't stand it anymore that day.

It was freezing cold, and she had to wash clothes for four people by herself, especially Yi Zhonghai, who had the most dirty clothes among the four people.

Plus she had to go to work every day, and she finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Silly Zhu, you should find a job as soon as possible. Our family can't bear it anymore."

Qin Huairu pulled Sha Zhu aside and cried to him in a sobbing voice.

"Look, look, look. I'm looking for it now."

Sha Zhu had no choice. Small restaurants didn't need him because he asked for high wages and didn't know how to control costs. Big hotels didn't want him because his hands couldn't do any work.

If he wanted to work as a consultant in a restaurant, no one would want him. People who could be chefs in big restaurants had to have some skills. If Sha Zhu didn't want to be fired as soon as he got there, he definitely couldn't hand over his recipe.

So Shazhu’s current position is a bit awkward.

"How long have you been looking for it? You still haven't found it."

Qin Huairu didn't fall for Sha Zhu's tricks at all.

"I'm telling you, if you can't find a job, we can either stop providing food to the second and third uncles, or we can charge them more for their living expenses."

Qin Huairu actually had no other choice. She didn't want to take out the money she had withheld, and she didn't want to serve a few grown men like a beast of burden every day and go out to work every day.

"That won't work. Second and Third Uncles coming to eat with us is giving us face."

Sha Zhu was unhappy. He had been brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai and his mind was full of the idea that people should not live just for themselves.

"I don't care about that. You have to go out and find a job. If there is no income at home, don't blame me for giving up."

Qin Huairu threw down these words, then turned around and left without caring what Sha Zhu thought.

"Well, didn't Shazhu say anything?"

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu coming back, she came over anxiously. It was she who suggested that Qin Huairu have a showdown with Sha Zhu.

Her purpose was simple. The family had no money left, and if things continued like this, Qin Huairu would run out of money for his retirement.

Besides, if we collect a little more money from Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, we can improve the family’s food supplies.

"He said he would go out and find a job." Qin Huairu planned to give Sha Zhu another chance. If Sha Zhu still achieved nothing, then she planned to divorce Sha Zhu.

The outcome of the matter once again disappointed Qin Huairu. Sha Zhu wanted to find a job, but his temper and his mouth made him offend several bosses in succession.

"Silly Zhu, my temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you."

This is a polite way of speaking.

"Silly Zhu, you can get out now." This is a more impolite way of speaking.

Sha Zhu always returned to the courtyard in a rage.

This made Qin Huairu even more annoyed.

Pressure can kill people, especially for someone like Qin Huairu, who has to go to work tomorrow and do laundry and cooking when she gets home in the evening.

There is no need to talk about Jia Zhang, she is too lazy to move and the most she does is sewing shoe soles. Not to mention Yi Zhonghai, he can't even blame himself for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Sha Zhu acts like a big boss every day.

It is said that there will be no filial son for a patient who has been sick for a long time. Qin Huairu was already tired after taking care of Yi Zhonghai for so long.

Unable to bear it any longer, she went straight to the Liu Haizhong couple and the Yan Bugui couple and cancelled their daily meals together.

She didn't even discuss this with Sha Zhu.

After learning the news, Sha Zhu had a big fight with Qin Huairu. This was really embarrassing for him.

In the original plot, the three old men picked up garbage to supplement their family income, which made Sha Zhu really embarrassed. Isn't Qin Huairu's behavior a slap in his face?

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong did not find it difficult to accept Qin Huairu's choice. Yan Bugui, who was the most calculating, had already figured out that their living expenses were really not enough.

Because Sha Zhu always pretends to be generous, the standard of food exceeds the living expenses they pay.

Although they could understand Qin Huairu's choice, both families were still a little sad. They had already prepared for the whole family to live together, and even Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were planning to join forces to take care of Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Liu, we are being despised. It's not Qin Huairu's fault. Our retirement salary is really not enough."

Yan Bugui sighed.

"Old Yan, how about we live together?"

Liu Haizhong thought about it and felt that it would be inconvenient for the two elderly people to live separately, so he suggested that the two families live together.

Yan Bugui agreed with this idea, but the matter needed to be considered carefully.

"Lao Liu, the food quality has been declining too fast recently. I have an idea, but before we can put it into practice, our dinner table has been disbanded."

Yan Bugui just lamented that it was too much of a coincidence.

"Old Yan, tell me what you think."

Liu Haizhong was a little curious now. He knew that Yan Bugui was scheming and had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

"Look, when I'm strolling around the streets, I see people riding tricycles collecting waste."

"You mean we should collect and sell scrap as well?"

Liu Haizhong thought this was a good idea.

"No, we are old and have no tricycles. We can't collect waste on the streets."

This is not what Yan Bugui meant.

"I see that many young people now throw unwanted things directly into the trash. What I mean is that we can go to the trash to see if there are any waste items. Then we can pick them up and sell them to those who collect waste. This is also an income."

Yan Bugui expressed his plan, which he had noticed when he often went out for a walk.

"Don't mention it, I think your idea is good."

Liu Haizhong thought about it and felt that this was a promising idea. Not only could they exercise their bodies, but they could also make a lot of money. With this money, both families could improve their living standards.
