Siheyuan: A romantic village doctor, making trouble

Chapter 242 I Won’t Be Fooled by You Again

After this, Yan Bugui seemed to have found a way to make money. He always had a smug smile on his face, as if he had foreseen his future wealth growth. Every few days, he would bring a few fish and come to Sha Zhu leisurely, showing off his fishing skills while trying to sell the fish to the canteen of the steel mill.

Every time Sha Zhu saw Yan Bugui carrying fish, he would feel reluctant. He knew that these fish were not rare, and the canteen had fixed channels and processes for purchasing, and not just any fish could be sold. But every time he thought of his previous promise to Yan Bugui, and thought that Yan Bugui was his elder after all, he finally chose to compromise and agreed to help bring the fish to the canteen manager to have a look.

However, Sha Zhu's compromise did not win Yan Bugui's gratitude, but made him even more unscrupulous. Whenever Sha Zhu mentioned that he wanted to know about a partner, Yan Bugui always avoided the topic and cleverly changed the subject, which made Sha Zhu feel very helpless. He couldn't help but start to wonder if Yan Bugui was really helping him find a partner, or was he just using this as an excuse to keep selling fish to him?

Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Sha Zhu began to think carefully about his experiences in the past half month, and he found that he seemed to have been used by Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui used the bait of introducing him to a girl to get him to help sell fish again and again, but he never really cared about his love life. The more Sha Zhu thought about it, the angrier he felt. He felt that Yan Bugui had taken advantage of him for so long.

No! This can't go on! Sha Zhu secretly made up his mind to teach Yan Bugui a lesson and let him know that he is not easy to bully. He began to secretly observe Yan Bugui's every move, trying to find his flaws and weaknesses. At the same time, he also began to actively look for a way out for his feelings and no longer pinned his hopes on Yan Bugui.

One night, Yan Bugui came to Sha Zhu's door again with a few fish. He knocked on the door with his usual smile on his face, as if he had expected how warmly Sha Zhu would receive him. However, when he opened the door, he saw Sha Zhu's cold face.

"Uncle, you're here again." Sha Zhu said coldly, "But this time, I can't help you sell fish anymore."

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, then showed a puzzled expression: "What's wrong? Zhuzi, did I do something wrong? Tell me, can't I change it?"

Sha Zhu shook his head: "Uncle San, stop pretending. In the past half month, you have been selling fish to me under the pretext of introducing me to someone. I know what you are thinking, but I tell you, I am not that easy to bully."

Yan Bugui was somewhat embarrassed by Sha Zhu's words. He didn't expect that his little thoughts were actually seen through by Sha Zhu. He tried to explain something, but Sha Zhu didn't want to listen anymore. He waved his hand and signaled Yan Bugui to leave.

Yan Bugui was touched by Sha Zhu's words, and his expression changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted his mood and smiled again. He knew that Sha Zhu was a straightforward person, and once he broke the window paper, it would be difficult to fool him. But as a sophisticated old man, he naturally had a way to deal with it.

"Oh, Shazhu, what you said really makes me sad." Yan Bugui sighed, as if he was really hurt by Shazhu's words, "There's no need to rush to find a partner. Fate comes and goes as it pleases, how can you force it? You have to relax and don't let this affect our friendship."

He changed the subject and continued, "I know you are impatient, but this matter really cannot be rushed. I have been keeping an eye out for you and want to find a suitable partner for you. But you also know that girls nowadays are very picky, and it is not easy to find a suitable one. But please believe that I really want to help you."

Yan Bugui's words were sincere and heartfelt, as if he was really worried about Sha Zhu's lifelong affairs. But Sha Zhu had already seen through his hypocrisy and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He turned around and faced Yan Bugui, his eyes full of disdain.

"Yan Laoxier, please stop playing tricks on me." Sha Zhu snorted coldly, his tone full of sarcasm, "You always swear to introduce me to someone, but what happened in the end? You are just using this as an excuse to get me to buy your fish! Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? I tell you, from today on, I will no longer buy your fish. If you still want to sell fish, go find someone else!"

Sha Zhu's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Yan Bugui's vitals. The smile on his face froze, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Sha Zhu to expose his lies so directly, which caught him off guard.

Yan Bugui calmed himself down and tried to save the situation. He smiled bitterly and said, "Shazhu, you are too harsh. I admit that I am a little selfish, but I really want to help you. Can't you give me a chance to prove myself?"

But Sha Zhu no longer believed him. He shook his head and said firmly: "No, I'm tired of your hypocrisy and deception. You keep saying you want to help me find a date, but in fact you just want to use me. I won't give you another chance."

After saying that, Sha Zhu turned around and left without looking back.

Seeing Sha Zhu leaving resolutely, Yan Bugui suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of urgency. He knew very well that if he didn't try to save the relationship now, it would be difficult for him to have any business with Sha Zhu in the future. So he hurried forward and held Sha Zhu's arm tightly.

"Shazhu, Shazhu! Don't be in such a hurry to leave." Yan Bugui's tone revealed a bit of pleading, "Is there any misunderstanding between us? If you have something to say, please talk it over. Don't ruin our years of harmony because of a momentary impulse."

Sha Zhu felt the strength of Yan Bugui's hand, frowned, and struggled to break free from his hand. He turned around and faced Yan Bugui with a firm and indifferent look.

"Yan Laoxier, stop playing tricks." Sha Zhu's tone revealed his unquestionable determination, "I have seen through your little tricks a long time ago. Do you think you can still fool me?"

Yan Bugui was shocked by Sha Zhu's gaze and words, but he was still unwilling to give up. He swallowed his saliva and tried to make a final struggle.

"Shazhu, listen to me. This time I will really give you a discount. I guarantee it will be the lowest price. Please give me another chance." Yan Bugui's tone was full of pleading.

However, Sha Zhu was not moved at all. He looked at Yan Bugui coldly, with a mocking smile on his face.

"Yan Laoxier, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Will I believe your lies again?" Sha Zhu shook his head, "I'm telling you, I won't be fooled by you again. Don't come to me again in the future!"

After saying that, Shazhu turned around and left without looking back, leaving Yan Bugui standing there in a daze.

Yan Bugui stared with eyes wide open, looking at Sha Zhu's back in astonishment as he walked away. He never thought that his carefully planned scam would be so easily discovered by Sha Zhu! This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.

Originally, Yan Bugui was still hoping to continue to deceive Sha Zhu and sell the fish to the steel mill at a high price, making a lot of money from it. But now it seems that this plan has completely failed.

Yan Bugui couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart: "What should I do? I thought I could easily deceive Sha Zhu, but I didn't expect him to be so alert."

He complained to himself while thinking about countermeasures. Yan Bugui knew that he had really annoyed Sha Zhu this time, and it would be difficult to regain his trust. However, he did not intend to give up. After all, in Yan Bugui's view, as long as there is enough interest, any relationship can be repaired.

"It seems I have to think of a new way." Yan Bugui frowned and thought, "Although Shazhu is smart, he is still young and hot-tempered. As long as I can find his weak spot, I am not afraid that he will not surrender."

Thinking of this, a cunning light flashed in Yan Bugui's eyes, and he seemed to have a new plan.

Sha Zhu, a worker in a steel mill who is not good-looking, is very picky about his future wife. He has always had a dream in his heart, that is, to marry a girl who is as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as a fairy. In Sha Zhu's opinion, beauty is the primary criterion for measuring whether a woman is qualified. Ordinary women, no matter how good their personalities and abilities are, can hardly impress him.

As Sha Zhu's elder, Yan Bugui is naturally very concerned about Sha Zhu's marriage. He knows Sha Zhu's preferences very well, and he also knows that only by finding a girl who meets his requirements can Sha Zhu willingly enter the palace of marriage. However, it is not easy to find a beautiful girl who is willing to marry Sha Zhu in the vast sea of ​​people.

Yan Bugui stood there for a while, frowning, thinking about a solution. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had found the key to solving the problem.

"Since Shazhu likes pretty girls, I will find him a pretty one!" Yan Bugui said to himself with a smug smile on his face.

He already had a plan in mind. First, he would ask around to see if there was a beautiful girl waiting to be married. Yan Bugui knew that in order to find such a girl, he had to use his connections in the community. He planned to use his eloquence to lobby around, hoping to find a suitable match.

Secondly, Yan Bugui also planned to use some special means to attract Sha Zhu's attention. He knew that Sha Zhu was obsessed with beauty, so he planned to find a woman with outstanding looks, pretend to be a girl willing to marry Sha Zhu, and meet Sha Zhu. Of course, this was only a temporary expedient, the purpose of which was to make Sha Zhu fall in love and agree to the marriage.

The more Yan Bugui thought about it, the more he felt that his plan was feasible. He knew Sha Zhu's temper and preferences very well. As long as he found a suitable girl and persuaded her a little, he believed that Sha Zhu would definitely change his mind and accept the marriage.

However, Yan Bugui also knew that this was not an easy thing. First of all, it was not easy for him to find a beautiful girl who was willing to cooperate with his plan. Secondly, even if he found such a girl, how to get her to meet Sha Zhu and how to make Sha Zhu fall in love with her was also a difficult problem.

Yes, Ran Qiuye in the school is from an intellectual family. She is not only beautiful, but also very charming! "Yan Bugui muttered to himself and decided to go to Ran Qiuye to find out the truth.

Yan Bugui came to the school, found Ran Qiuye, and politely explained his purpose to her. Ran Qiuye was very surprised after hearing this. She didn't have a deep impression of Sha Zhu, she only knew that he was a chef in the factory. Yan Bugui saw through Ran Qiuye's thoughts at a glance, so he began to praise Sha Zhu: "Oh, this Sha Zhu is such a good man! He is kind-hearted, honest and decent, and his cooking skills are amazing! The dishes he makes are so delicious, and people will have endless aftertastes..."

Ran Qiuye listened to Yan Bugui's praise with a smile, but never expressed any opinion.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui took the opportunity to invite Ran Qiuye to his home for dinner, and even said, "You can meet Sha Zhu by the way." Ran Qiuye hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be okay to go and take a look, maybe she could really find some unexpected surprises? So, she finally accepted Yan Bugui's invitation.

On the appointed day, Ran Qiuye came to Yan Bugui's house. Yan Bugui entertained her warmly and specially arranged for Sha Zhu to cook. When Sha Zhu saw Ran Qiuye, his eyes lit up. He had never seen such a beautiful girl. Ran Qiuye praised Sha Zhu's dishes, and Sha Zhu was very happy to hear that. Seeing that the two of them were having a good chat, Yan Bugui took the opportunity to match them up and said, "You two are a good match. Why don't you consider being together?" Ran Qiuye blushed and lowered her head without saying anything. Sha Zhu looked at Ran Qiuye excitedly, looking forward to her response.

Sha Zhu rubbed his hands excitedly and asked stutteringly: "Ran... Teacher Ran, what... what do you think of me?"

Ran Qiuye's face was as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head and said softly, "You are fine. The food you cook is delicious..."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was overjoyed, and the smile on his face blossomed like a flower. He was so excited that he almost jumped up. He couldn't wait to reach out and hold Ran Qiuye's hand tightly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Then...then are you willing to be with me?"

Ran Qiuye was totally surprised that Sha Zhu would do such a direct thing. She struggled to get rid of Sha Zhu's hand, her cheeks flushed instantly, she lowered her head shyly, and whispered: "This... this is too fast... we can start as friends and slowly get to know each other." The expectation in Sha Zhu's eyes gradually dimmed, but he didn't want to put pressure on Ran Qiuye, so he forced a smile, nodded and said: "Okay... okay, let's start as friends. Teacher Ran, just tell me what you want to eat in the future, I can make it for you anytime!" As he spoke, Sha Zhu's eyes revealed a kind of determination and persistence, as if he was promising something to Ran Qiuye.
