Chapter 335

~5 min read 889 words

Level-eight worker is different from the previous seven levels; it is a kind of glory, the pinnacle of workers. There aren't many level-eight workers in the Rolling Mill in total.

Knock, knock, knock!

While he is looking forward, someone knocks on the door.

Opening the door and seeing Wan Ping'an, Yi Zhonghai's head buzzes.

The debt collector is here!

He just got his salary in his hands, and it hasn't even warmed up yet!

"First Elder, you should know what I'm here for, right?"

"Be quick about it!"

Wan Ping'an's smile is very bright.

"I know!"

Yi Zhonghai grinds his teeth and squeezes out a sentence from between his teeth.

Fortunately.

Wan Ping'an only wants him to use his salary to pay off the debt.

Usually, with his technical level, he can go to some small factories to help out on holidays and earn some extra money.

Otherwise, he really couldn't go on!

The fifty-five yuan he just got is taken away by Wan Ping'an, leaving forty-five yuan.

"Damn it!"

Wan Ping'an leaves.

Yi Zhonghai punches the table.

The table falls over, Yi Zhonghai falls to the ground, holding his hand and screaming in pain.

First Aunt is cooking in the kitchen; hearing the screams, she runs out and sees the table overturned, and Yi Zhonghai rolling on the ground holding his right hand.

Outside the door.

Yan Fugui is startled.

Wan Ping'an was collecting the debt, and he was following along to watch the excitement.

Wan Ping'an left, and he also planned to go home. Just as he took a step, he heard a boom in Yi Zhonghai's house, followed by Yi Zhonghai's screams.

"What happened?"

"Is Yi Zhonghai trying to end it all?"

Yan Fugui is very surprised.

Slap!

Someone pats Yan Fugui on the shoulder.

Ouch!

Yan Fugui jumps three feet high.

Scared to death.

"Second Elder, don't you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"

Yan Fugui is very annoyed.

Fortunately, he doesn't have heart disease, otherwise, Liu Haizhong's pat would have sent him away.

"Third Elder, why are you so excited?"

"You're standing at the First Elder's door, did you do something guilty?"

Liu Haizhong is very curious.

"Come here!"

Yan Fugui pulls Liu Haizhong to the corner of the wall.

"What are you two being so mysterious about?"

Xu Fugui just happens to return, seeing the two pulling and dragging each other to the corner, and teases them.

"Old Xu, you're just in time. Come, come, come, I have something to tell you."

Who says men aren't gossipy?

Yan Fugui is very gossipy!

"Guess what I just saw?"

Yan Fugui asks Xu Fugui and Liu Haizhong.

"Third Elder, stop keeping us in suspense. If we could guess it, would we need to ask you?"

"Be quick!"

Liu Haizhong and the other urge him.

"Fine, I'll be quick."

"Isn't it payday at the Rolling Mill today?"

"Just now Wan Ping'an went to find the First Elder to collect the debt. He's really ruthless—according to the agreement, he only left Yi Zhonghai ten yuan for living expenses."

"He just left, and I heard a boom in the First Elder's house, followed by Yi Zhonghai's screams."

"Listen, Yi Zhonghai is still groaning now."

Yan Fugui describes it vividly.

"Guess, is the First Elder trying to end it all?"

Yan Fugui asks in return.

"No way, right?"

"Didn't he leave him ten yuan for living expenses?"

Liu Haizhong tries hard to hold back his laughter.

"If I had to guess, he must be too angry, threw something, or smashed something, and hurt himself."

Xu Fugui speculates.

"That's what I think too."

Liu Haizhong adds.

The three gossip for half an hour, guessing what happened to Yi Zhonghai.

From hitting his head against the wall to smashing the pot, they guessed dozens of answers.

The three disperse.

And each finds someone else to tell.

In less than an hour, everyone in the courtyard knows.

Yi Zhonghai self-harmed!

Yan Fugui returns from the back courtyard and goes to the front gate to be a door god again.

"Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu, are you two okay now?"

The Jia Zhangshi mother and son return.

Yan Fugui asks very curiously—not out of concern, purely out of curiosity.

Yi Zhonghai sent the two to the hospital, and he returned from the hospital. No matter who asked, they gave a unified answer that it wasn't a big deal, without revealing the specific situation.

Hmph!

Jia Zhangshi is angry and ignores Yan Fugui.

"Thanks for your concern, Third Elder, we're fine now."

Jia Dongxu is a bit polite.

"Mom, you walked too far, where are you going?"

Mother and son return to the middle courtyard.

Jia Dongxu sees Jia Zhangshi heading straight for the back courtyard.

Jia Zhangshi ignores Jia Dongxu and goes all the way to the back, to the front of Wan Ping'an's house.

"Wan, get out here."

"Your wild boar meat almost killed me. If you don't have money, you must compensate me today, otherwise, I'll report you to the police and send you to jail."

Jia Zhangshi smashes the door.

The sharp shouting is heard by the whole Sihe Academy.

Everyone saw Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu having diarrhea, but no one expected that it was because she ate Wan Ping'an's wild boar meat that she got diarrhea.
