Chapter 210: Tricking her into an IOU for 200 yuan, Yi Zhonghai plays the empty-handed wolf!
Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical nature is once again on display!
If he had to use connections to pull strings for someone before, it would have cost a lot of money!
The Second Aunt clearly can't afford much money in her current situation, so this old fox Yi Zhonghai would never do something that doesn't benefit him!
Now, it's different!
Since Liu Haizhong is assigned here for hard labor, it's very simple to just walk up and have a word with him.
Once he finds out where Liu Haizhong hid his money, the Second Aunt will surely have cash, and Yi Zhonghai can take as much as he wants!
"First Uncle, is what you said true? Didn't you say that only Chen Tian could handle this?"
"What exactly is going on? Are you really sure? Look at my two sons; they don't care about me at all!"
"The money I have on hand is almost gone. If I don't think of a way, I really won't have a place to turn for food!"
"First Uncle, please have pity on me. If you can really help me think of a way, I will definitely repay you later!"
The Second Aunt, as if she has found a life-saving straw, begs Yi Zhonghai frantically.
After all, Chen Tian's 500 yuan is simply too much; there is no way she can come up with that.
As for the house, that would be the death of her!
"That goes without saying. I've worked at the rolling mill for so many years. It's not that I didn't want to help you before, but the trouble the Second Uncle caused was just too big!"
"With so many people watching just now, if I had come out to speak for you, it would have only drawn everyone's attention!"
"But now it's different. Since he's doing hard labor here, I can still get a word in. I can even pass a message for you and ask him where he hid the money he saved before!"
"Then you won't have to worry so much. However, given the special circumstances, if I want to talk to him and make his life a bit easier, I do indeed need to grease some palms!"
The expression on Yi Zhonghai's face is so hypocritical, as if he is truly and sincerely working for the Second Aunt.
But in reality, it's all to get some benefits from the Second Aunt!
"Okay, if you can really pass the message for me, once I know where he hid the money, I will definitely give you the cash!"
"Look at how much money is needed to grease the palms this time. I'll write you an IOU right now, and as soon as I get the money, I will definitely give it to you immediately!"
The Second Aunt is actually still a bit hesitant, but she is truly at her wit's end, so she has no choice but to let Yi Zhonghai think of a way.
Seeing how easily the Second Aunt fell for it, Yi Zhonghai is incredibly happy.
"Then let's make it 200 yuan! Actually, a large part of this money is to be spent on Chen Tian. After all, you all know his status at the rolling mill now!"
"As long as this Level 3 Chief Engineer makes a move, no one dares to speak up. Getting the location of the hidden money out of the Second Uncle will be as easy as pie!"
"The reason Chen Tian agreed to help you this time is because the Second Uncle has already been convicted and sent to prison. Even if he took your 500 yuan, he couldn't get him out anyway!"
"So, taking 200 yuan to make his life a little easier is quite reasonable!"
Yi Zhonghai's appetite is truly large; he asks for 200 yuan right off the bat.
He also knows that the amount he proposed is far too high, which is why he brought Chen Tian into it.
Otherwise, with the Second Aunt's stingy nature, she would never be willing to part with 200 yuan!
Hearing Yi Zhonghai ask for 200 yuan, the Second Aunt is in a bind.
She is already struggling to afford food, so she really doesn't dare agree to the request for 200 yuan!
"200 yuan! First Uncle, how could I dare to make such a decision? If our man finds out, he will definitely beat me to death!"
"He usually only gives me a few yuan. If he knew I took out 200 yuan all at once, I would really be finished!"
"Can you help me think of another way? 200 yuan is simply too much!"
The Second Aunt was originally ecstatic, but she didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to ask for 200 yuan immediately.
And this 200 yuan doesn't even guarantee that Liu Haizhong will be rescued!
How could she possibly agree to that?
"200 yuan is not much! This is to get the great engineer Chen Tian to make a move. You can barely afford to eat now, but knowing where Liu Haizhong hid the money can solve your family's problems!"
"Besides, although Liu Haizhong can't be released so quickly, with Chen Tian putting in a good word for him, his life will be much easier, and he will surely be released in no time!"
"You don't know how hard his life is right now, being targeted by the supervisor every day. If you don't think of a way, I'm afraid he really won't be able to hold on!"
"I'm doing this out of the kindness of my heart. I can even let you write an IOU first and I'll put up the money for you! If you really can't make up your mind, then forget it!"
Yi Zhonghai is incredibly greedy, continuing to induce the Second Aunt.
He also knows that the Second Aunt is begging so many people that she is truly at her wit's end, and he has her completely under his thumb!
Seeing Yi Zhonghai make a move to leave, the Second Aunt becomes anxious.
Her mind goes blank, and she actually agrees to it!
"Okay, I'll write the IOU for you, but you must get Chen Tian to help me think of a way to get our man out as soon as possible!"
The Second Aunt hurriedly goes up to stop Yi Zhonghai. She really seems to have no other choice now.
Afterward, looking at the 200-yuan IOU in his hand, Yi Zhonghai is incredibly happy.
He thinks to himself that he can just spend a little bit of money to grease the palms and he'll be able to talk to Liu Haizhong!
When the time comes, once he finds out where Liu Haizhong hid the money, he can easily pocket the 200 yuan for himself. Why wouldn't he be happy about such a good deal?
As for when Liu Haizhong gets released, that's none of his business!
Afterward, Yi Zhonghai returns home happily.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai return from the Second Aunt's house, the First Aunt thinks he really went to help her!
"How was it? Did you find a way? Were you able to speak for the Second Uncle? We are all in the same Sihe Academy; you should help as much as you can!"
The First Aunt still thinks Yi Zhonghai is finally doing a good deed, and she feels a bit comforted. ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
