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

As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, good heavens, all the aunties and grandmas in the courtyard...

Like a wound-up toy, she rushed into Sha Zhu's house. Luckily, Sha Zhu had already packed and loaded all his belongings into the truck.

Sha Zhu approached Brother Li and said, "Brother Li, what do you think? If you like this place..."

Hurry up and buy this house. I guarantee you'll enjoy a different life every day.

As long as you stay out of the situation, you can see different scenery every day. That's much more enjoyable than going to the movies every day.

What just happened was still swirling in Little Li's mind.

This guy just tried to use me as a scapegoat, and I haven't even settled the score with him yet.

Now they've let these middle-aged women into the house and they're fighting like mad. After they've finished packing their things, they come over and make fun of you, Brother Li.

That bastard is causing me trouble.

"Zhu Zi, your brother Li is here to take back the house. There's a commotion inside."

"If a fight breaks out later, you'll leave me, Brother Li, with this mess."

Brother Li stared at Sha Zhu and continued, "Let me tell you, you better deal with this for me right now."

I won't be able to lock the door later, so I'm leaving it at that. I'm going back to report to Director Wang; the procedures aren't finished. Just wait for Director Wang to give you trouble.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu realized he'd been threatened. He'd shot himself in the foot and now he had to deal with the mess. What was he going to do?

Sha Zhu looked at the group of middle-aged women in the room, none of them willing to concede to the others, and was at a loss for what to do.

If only I had known! Damn it, I should have known!

Sha Zhu quickly found some movers and offered them a large sum of money to help him move the cabinets and wooden bed from the house to the yard.

Upon hearing that there was money to be made, the movers immediately perked up and rushed into the house.

He also promised to help the older women carry the cabinets and beds out.

They pushed the older women aside, then moved them all out of the house, dumped them in the yard, and then left them there.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu quickly pushed his bicycle and led the movers, pulling a cart, away from the compound.

Once outside the compound, Sha Zhu felt a wave of relief wash over him, almost like he was floating on air.

Sha Zhu looked up at the sky. The blue sky was clear and the white clouds were floating. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt his soul being cleansed.

After locking the door behind him, Brother Li, who had run out, was still somewhat dazed.

Seeing Sha Zhu waiting for him, he suddenly felt an urge to beat him up.

Seeing Xiao Li's expression, Sha Zhu quickly pulled a pack of good cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Li's pocket.

"Brother Li, these are Peony brand cigarettes that I smuggled from my master. I don't even want to smoke one myself."

It's still unopened. Thanks a lot, Brother Li, for today. I'll treat you to something nice sometime.

Seeing that Brother Li still had an unfriendly look in his eyes, I remembered that I owed Brother Li two meals.

He was speechless. "Brother Li, here's what I'll do. I'll come over this weekend. You can point me to a place; I can choose any of the eight restaurants. I apologize for the inconvenience."

Brother Li waved his hand, "Alright, I'll let you off this time. I'll take weekends off, so you can put it on my tab."

I need to hurry back and report what just happened to Director Wang.

At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong with this courtyard. I just thought it was a bunch of petty people trying to take advantage of others.

"I sense there's a big problem in this facility, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I'll report this to Director Wang for handling."

"Brother Li, this is nothing. You've only been inside for an hour or two. This is just the tip of the iceberg in the courtyard." Sha Zhu added fuel to the fire, as if afraid the courtyard wouldn't be in chaos.

After the two parted ways, Sha Zhu quickly offered each of the movers a cigarette before leading the way.

Pushing his bicycle, he strode towards Qianmen Street.

Sha Zhu's loud singing voice rang out on the street, attracting passersby to stop and turn their heads.

After the moving crew helped carry all the furniture and belongings into their yard, and then saw them off.

I checked the time; it was almost time for school to let out during the rainy season.

Sha Zhu quickly stored all the items in the yard into his spatial storage.

Then I went to the room the craftsman had prepared for Rainwater and put out Rainwater's belongings. I pushed my bicycle and went to collect Rainwater.

Sha Zhu rushed to Yushui School and just happened to run into the students leaving school.

After collecting rainwater at the school gate, I gave each of the children two candies.

Then he pulled Liu Guangtian closer.

He instructed, "Guangtian, listen to me, Yushui and I have moved to live near the Military Control Commission."

The houses there are uninhabitable now and need to be renovated.

I'll be staying at my master's house for the next two months. Could you keep an eye on things secretly in the yard for me?

Rainwater and I moved away. Everyone in the courtyard is saying all sorts of bad things about my brother and me.

They also secretly wrote down who said bad things about us siblings.

Remember, act normally. You need to appear to be on their side, so the people in the compound don't notice anything amiss.

Sha Zhu remembered Liu Guangtian's expressions.

He continued, "Good lad, I owe you a favor. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, just ask me. I'll definitely help you out."

After parting ways with the children, Sha Zhu rode his bicycle, soaked with rain, towards his master's house on Qianmen Street.

Rainwater sat on the front bumper and asked Shazhu, "Brother, have all my things been moved over there?"

"Yes, everything has been moved over. Your room is completely empty; nothing was left behind."

Everything's been moved to Master's house. I even had time to go to the mall and buy you new clothes, shoes, socks, and a backpack. How about that? Aren't you happy?

"Wow, bro, really? Bro, you're not lying to me again, are you?" Rainwater seems to have a psychological trauma.

"Rain, why don't you trust your brother? Look, he treated you to Peking duck!"

"What do you want to eat later? Your brother will cook it himself. As long as you can think of it, I'll make it for you," Sha Zhu said confidently.

Raindrop's eyes darted around. "Brother, I want to eat dragon meat from heaven."

"Cough, cough, rainwater, let's talk about something more realistic, how about snake meat?"

Rainy shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, "I'm scared, I don't eat snake meat."

You're not afraid of dragons, and you really dare to dream big.

Sha Zhu, still wet from the rain, went to the vegetable market near his master's house and bought two jin (approximately 1 kg) of pork belly.

I bought a pork tenderloin, a carp, two pieces of tofu, and some rice from the grain store.

Back at his master's house, Sha Zhu took out the clothes, shoes, socks, and schoolbag he had prepared in his room.

Then hand it to the happy raindrops, and let the raindrops go to their own rooms to do their homework.

Sha Zhu checked the time; his master would be back soon.

He then went into the kitchen and started cooking dinner. First, he steamed the rice; five dishes for three people probably wouldn't be enough.

Braised pork belly, sweet and sour carp, shredded pork with green peppers, tofu, and Mapo tofu. Add a tomato and egg soup, and you're done.

This time, Sha Zhu held nothing back. If he didn't bite off their tongues while his own family ate it, he would be letting down all the cooking skills he had learned.
