Chapter 621

Liu Haizhong nodded.

"Fine, I agree to your terms."

"But I can't give you this one hundred yuan right now; I owe Wan Ping'an a lot of money and still owe Jia Zhangshi eighty yuan, as you know."

"Within half a year, I will definitely give you one hundred yuan."

Yi Zhonghai thought of Wan Ping'an whenever he thought of money.

The huge debt he owed Wan Ping'an had screwed him over too badly; he had gone from someone with bulging pockets to someone burdened with huge debt.

"I assume you wouldn't dare to lie to me."

"If you dare to lie to me, I'll tell He Daqing first, and then report it to the subdistrict office."

Liu Haizhong sneered.

If He Daqing knew that Yi Zhonghai was trying to steal his woman, he could beat Yi Zhonghai to death.

The two reached an agreement.

One was triumphant.

The other was dejected.

"Liu Haizhong, just you wait, I will definitely settle this account with you; you extorted one hundred from me, I'll take back at least three hundred from you!"

Yi Zhonghai was not a broad-minded person.

In his heart, he had fiercely recorded an account against Liu Haizhong!

In the account book in his heart.

The one ranked first was, of course, Wan Ping'an!

Two days later.

Wan Ping'an returned home and had just seen the gate of the Sihe Academy when he was stopped by He Daqing.

"Ping'an, let's go, I'll treat you to a drink."

He Daqing took Wan Ping'an to a restaurant, got a private room, and ordered many dishes; just the two of them had a table full of food.

"Uncle He, you must have something on your mind, right?"

If one is overly polite, they must have a request!

Wan Ping'an didn't pick up his chopsticks.

"Sigh, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

He Daqing sighed.

His expression was a bit decadent.

"Ping'an, I've encountered something, I've encountered big trouble."

"In our courtyard, you're the smartest and most capable, I want you to help me advise on this."

He Daqing hadn't had white hair before.

Hearing that family backgrounds were going to be re-examined, he was under immense pressure; a few white hairs appeared at his temples, and he sighed day after day without a smile.

"Tell me!"

Wan Ping'an nodded.

He and He Daqing had no conflict of interest and no contradictions.

On the contrary.

He Daqing had even helped him with some small favors.

"Have you heard about the re-examination of family backgrounds?"

He Daqing asked.

"I've heard, everyone in the courtyard is saying so."

Wan Ping'an recalled the He family's information.

He had cultivated super golden rice, which was too precious and too important, causing the higher-ups to review everyone working on the six acres of land.

He had seen the He family's information.

There was a small problem, but it wasn't a big one.

Even if it were found out, as long as no one was intentionally causing trouble, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

"To tell you the truth, our family's background has a tiny little problem."

"We aren't third-generation poor peasants; of course, we definitely aren't landlords. We had a little bit of farmland, so if you calculate it, we should be middle peasants, not reaching the level of rich peasants."

He Daqing told the truth.

Tan family cuisine was, after all, exclusively for high-ranking officials and nobles.

When cooking, it was inevitable to come into contact with some noble people; just getting a few favors was enough to lift the He family out of poverty.

"Recently, there's been a rumor in the courtyard that family backgrounds are going to be re-examined."

"Two days ago, the First Elder came to find me, saying that the subdistrict office had given him the task of secretly investigating whose family background in the courtyard had problems."

"I'm worried that if I don't leave, someone will make an issue out of my background."

"I don't really care about myself, but what about Shazhu and Yushui?"

"I want to ask for your opinion!"

He Daqing was truly at his wit's end.

And there wasn't a single person in the courtyard he could trust.

After thinking and thinking, only Wan Ping'an was worth trusting; even if he couldn't help him, he wouldn't screw him over. He couldn't trust anyone else!

"Let me say the most important point first, it's definitely good news for you."

"The matter of re-examining family backgrounds is a rumor; the higher-ups don't have this idea at all. You don't need to worry about this too much."

"However, if someone reports you, the situation will be different."

Wan Ping'an gave He Daqing a reassurance.

"Are you sure there won't be a re-examination?"

He Daqing was stunned.

When Yi Zhonghai came to find him, he said clearly that it was a task assigned by Wang Zhuren to secretly re-examine the family backgrounds of every household in the courtyard.

"Very sure!"

Wan Ping'an nodded.

Yi Zhonghai!

He Daqing gritted his teeth.

"Also, Uncle He, I've seen your family's information."

Wan Ping'an dropped a bomb.

"You..."

He Daqing was very surprised.

"Listen to me first."

"I've cultivated some excellent crops on the six acres of land, which are valued by the higher-ups."

"The background information of everyone working on the six acres of land has been investigated clearly by the higher-ups, including my own background information."

·· Begging for flowers ·

"The higher-ups thought your He family's information had a small problem, so they handed it to me and let me choose whether to keep Shazhu."

"I didn't think there was any big problem, so I kept Shazhu."

"You don't need to worry about the family background matter at all; go find Wang Zhuren, talk it over properly, and get your family background corrected."

"You're a middle peasant, not a rich peasant, and certainly not a landlord, what are you worried about?"

Wan Ping'an gave He Daqing an idea.

As long as the background information was corrected.

The Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai would have no leverage over He Daqing.

Phew!

He Daqing let out a breath.

At the same time.

In his heart.

He raised Wan Ping'an's importance by three levels.

He never dreamed that the small six acres of land were so highly valued by the higher-ups. ===== CHAPTER 623 =====
