Shazhu finally came to his senses when he realized he couldn't see Ran Qiuyue anymore. He thought that the girl must have been brought in by Yan Bugui from the front yard. Seeing how Yan Bugui was chatting and laughing with her, they must be acquainted!
Shazhu felt an urgent need to rush home and rummage through his belongings. Unfortunately, after searching every corner of his house, he couldn't find a single decent gift to present. He was so broke that he had nothing to his name; even the cornmeal in his grain bag had been given to him by Yi Zhonghai out of concern that he might starve!
With empty hands, Shazhu made his way to the front yard. Yan Bugui hadn't forgotten that his third uncle had been taken advantage of because of Shazhu's provocations. He snorted coldly at Shazhu and turned his face away!
Yan Bugui didn't want to deal with Shazhu, but Shazhu stubbornly approached him with a grin. "Hey, Yan Da Ye, do you know that girl you just took to Sister Qin's house?"
Yan Bugui shot a sideways glance at Shazhu. "Are you talking about Teacher Ran? What? Are you interested in her?"
"You're right, I am interested in Teacher Ran! Could you help me out and introduce us?" Shazhu shamelessly asked Yan Bugui.
"Listen here, Shazhu," Yan Bugui said with a sneer, "you think just because you have those two big lips that you can get me to introduce you to Teacher Ran? Ha! You should take a good look at yourself! You think you deserve someone like her? You're just a smelly cook! Do you really think you're worthy of Teacher Ran?"
Shazhu was furious at Yan Bugui's mockery. If he weren't hoping for an introduction, he would have loved to teach this old man a lesson!
"Yan Da Ye, so what if I'm a cook? I'm a chef at a big factory! My monthly salary is twenty-seven yuan!"
Shazhu initially wanted to say thirty-seven yuan and then realized he had been demoted.
"And besides, people say that following a cook means you'll never go hungry! Why can't I be worthy of her?"
Hearing Shazhu's defense, Yan Bugui became even more merciless. "You don't think you're unworthy of Teacher Ran? Let's talk about looks first. Teacher Ran is a beautiful girl; there are plenty of outstanding young men in our school pursuing her. And you? Just look at your wrinkled face! If you stood next to her, people would think you're her father!"
"Also, not even widows would look at you! Where do you get the confidence that Teacher Ran would be interested in you?"
"You say your salary is twenty-seven yuan? That's even more ridiculous! Teacher Ran makes much more than that! You can't even match her salary—do you really think she'd look at you?"
"Most importantly, you've been caught by the authorities before. Although they didn't leave a record on you, don't forget you're still under scrutiny. Do you really think a teacher would be interested in someone like you?"
Yan Bugui's words left Shazhu feeling utterly defeated. Wang Jiefang, who was listening nearby, shook his head; Yan Bugui's tongue was indeed sharp—no wonder he was a language teacher!
Angered and humiliated by Yan Bugui's remarks, Shazhu clenched his fists and was about to strike him when Yan Jiefang shouted from the side, "Shazhu, why don't you try hitting my dad?"
Shazhu glanced at the three brothers from the Yan family and weighed his options. Realizing that in his current state he wouldn't stand a chance against them, he withdrew his hand and pointed at Yan Bugui instead. "Yan Laokou, if you're unwilling to help me out with an introduction, fine! I'll just find someone else! Out of respect for your injury, I'll let this slide!"
Shazhu's own leg was still in a cast, yet he had the audacity to call Yan Bugui an injured person—he didn't know what he was thinking!
Yan Bugui could see that Shazhu was intimidated; he looked triumphantly as Shazhu limped away with the help of his crutch.
Hmph! With your current state, how dare you dream of Teacher Ran? You're just like a toad wishing to eat swan meat!
