Chapter 131

Qin Qin Huairu bowed repeatedly in gratitude and followed the First Master to get the money with joy.

Jia Jia Zhangshi followed vigilantly, fearing that the two would engage in some shady transaction.

Handing five large-denomination bills to Qin Qin Huairu.

The First Master’s heart was bleeding uncontrollably.

This was his pension money!

Sihe Academy

Late at night, the First Master lay on the bed, his chest tight with anger.

Today he had suffered a major loss!

It was all Cao Cao Weiguo’s fault for putting him on the fire to roast, exposing his family savings in a few words.

This time the Jia family borrowed money from him.

From now on, residents would come to him one after another to borrow money.

Once he didn't lend it, his reputation as a "moral model" would vanish into thin air.

This made him feel stifled, but he had to lend it!

Without a good reputation, how could he be the respected First Master?

"Old Yi, what’s wrong with you? Your face looks so bad?"

The First Mother noticed the First Master’s face and poured a bowl of hot water with concern.

"Cough, cough!"

The First Master sat up and took a sip of hot water, feeling his chest blocked and uncomfortable.

"Sigh! Cao Cao Weiguo’s heart is too vicious!"

"Selfish, petty, heartless, cold-blooded, treacherous, disrespectful to elders..."

Listening to the First Master’s complaints, the First Mother shook her head and smiled bitterly:

"Old Yi, it’s not worth getting angry. Let’s just not pay attention to Cao Cao Weiguo from now on."

The First Master roared irritably: "Why should I!"

The First Mother retreated in fear: "Why are you roaring?"

The First Master realized he had lost his composure and sighed with a lonely expression:

"I am the First Master of the courtyard, the elder of the courtyard; why should I tolerate him, Cao Cao Weiguo."

Looking at her stubborn old partner, the First Mother could only sigh silently.

Cao Family.

After returning home, Song Song Yulan was a bit worried.

"Will the First Master hold a grudge against you?"

Cao Cao Weiguo said disdainfully: "We don't interfere with each other. If he doesn't provoke me, I won't pay attention to him. But if he insists on making things unpleasant, I won't be soft-handed."

Doesn't the First Master like to use moral kidnapping?

Then he will let him know that using moral kidnapping also comes with a price.

A good reputation cannot be maintained by just empty words.

Isn't the First Master high-minded and helpful?

Then push the Jia family onto him and let him go all out to help.

Perhaps Bang Geng will be grateful and support him in his old age.

The Jia family can also have a solid reliance.

Qin Qin Huairu can also save herself from searching everywhere.

Song Song Yulan mixed a basin of hot water and gently and considerately washed Cao Cao Weiguo’s feet.

Cao Cao Weiguo read stories to Song Song Yulan from a picture book.

Life was lived comfortably.

Jia Family.

Jia Jia Zhangshi sat cross-legged on the kang, counting the money, her old face full of smiles.

The donations from the residents plus the money borrowed from the First Master.

Adding up the big and small amounts, it was fifty-eight Brother Yuan and three dimes.

Qin Qin Huairu was also full of joy looking at the money.

This was equal to two months of her salary.

Jia Jia Zhangshi smiled and said: "This First Master is really rich. If he helped our family like Seeing Shazhu, wouldn't our family eat meat every meal?"

Recalling Cao Cao Weiguo’s words, calculating the First Master’s salary, seniority, and daily expenses.

That First Master is definitely the richest person in the Sihe Academy!

Qin Qin Huairu said calmly: "Mom, don't you know the First Master’s character? He is very shrewd."

Jia Jia Zhangshi said: "So what if he’s shrewd? As long as he has a weakness, he can be manipulated."

What is the First Master’s weakness?

It is vanity and valuing his good reputation.

Jia Jia Zhangshi smiled and said: "From now on, take the children to the First Master’s house more often."

"Diligently help the First Mother clean up, and help promote the First Master’s good reputation."

"Over time, can the First Master and his wife not be close to our family?"

"Can they not help our family from time to time?"

"Besides, the First Master and his wife have no children."

"They can't spend all that money they’ve saved, so it’s better to help our family more."

"In the future, the three children, Bang Geng, can also remember their kindness."

Qin Qin Huairu felt that what Jia Jia Zhangshi said made sense: "Fine, I’ll listen to you."

Jia Jia Zhangshi took three Brother Yuan from the stack of money and handed it to Qin Qin Huairu:

"Take this money to let Bang Geng see a doctor, and buy some meat to supplement my eldest grandson’s body."

"Sigh, speaking of this, it’s all Cao Cao Weiguo’s fault."

"If he hadn't dangled fish to make people crave it, Bang Geng wouldn't have gone to catch fish."

"If he hadn't gone to catch fish, he wouldn't have suffered this."

"Cao Cao Weiguo is a black-hearted beast, a wicked jinx."

Qin Qin Huairu looked at the sleeping Bang Geng, and she also had complaints about Cao Cao Weiguo in her heart.

You can give fish to the Third Master, why can't you give it to her?

Is she not as good as the Third Master?

Yan Family.

The Third Master felt both heartache and joy.

Heartache because he donated one Brother Yuan.

Joy because the First Master had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

The Third Mother sighed: "How come I didn't notice before that Yi Yi Zhonghai was so rich."

The Third Master said: "He is too good at pretending, always pretending to be poor, so naturally no one noticed him."

If Cao Cao Weiguo hadn't exposed it in public this time, he wouldn't have noticed Yi Yi Zhonghai’s family savings.

Thinking that this Yi Yi Zhonghai organizes donations from time to time, he felt unhappy.

You say you are so rich, if you want to do good deeds, do them yourself!

Why do you have to drag the whole courtyard into it.

Once a meeting is held for donations, he, the Third Master, has to set an example to maintain his reputation.

With this example, a few pounds of cornmeal are gone!

The Third Mother said: "This Old Yi hides too deep."

Early morning.

Cao Cao Weiguo and his wife were eating when two little girls, one tall and one short, arrived at the door.

They stood outside without coming in, but their eyes were fixed on the steaming table.
