Red Star Sihe Academy

When Yu Haitang passed through the middle courtyard, she happened to meet the First Aunt, whose brows were locked in worry.

"First Aunt, you haven't rested yet."

Hearing Yu Haitang's greeting, the First Aunt's eyes brightened, and she walked quickly towards Yu Haitang: "Haitang, Aunt has something she wants to tell you."

Yu Haitang smiled: "First Aunt, what is it?"

First Aunt asked: "Haitang, are you coming back from Cao Weiguo's house?"

Yu Haitang went to visit Cao Weiguo's house in the Red Star Sihe Academy whenever she had time and became best friends with Song Yulan; almost all the residents in the courtyard knew this.

Yu Haitang smiled: "Yes, First Aunt, what's wrong?"

First Aunt said with a bitter expression: "Hi! It's all for your First Uncle's matter. Your First Uncle was grabbed into the Security Section, and there has been no news until now. I want to go to Cao Weiguo to plead, but you also know the relationship between my family and Cao Weiguo is not very good. Even if I go, Cao Weiguo won't want to pay attention to me. Therefore, I want to ask you for a favor. You have a good relationship with Cao Weiguo. Can you help Aunt inquire about your First Uncle's matter and ask Cao Weiguo how the factory plans to deal with your First Uncle, so that I can have a bottom line in my heart."

Yu Haitang said with difficulty: "First Aunt, First Uncle's matter is official business. Cao Weiguo never discusses official business at home."

First Aunt grabbed Yu Haitang's hand and begged: "Haitang, I know you are a kind-hearted good girl. Have pity on your First Aunt. Your First Aunt has no children, only Old Yi as a partner. Aunt feels uncomfortable in her heart now, worried and scared, unable to sleep all night. Haitang, Aunt begs you, please help Aunt."

Help?

First Aunt is so pitiful, of course, she must help!

She, Yu Haitang, is a good girl who loves to help others.

Yu Haitang said with a face full of difficulty: "First Aunt, I know you are not easy, but First Uncle's matter, alas, it is really hard to speak of. How can you ask me to open my mouth to Cao Weiguo?"

First Aunt pulled Yu Haitang into the room and rummaged through the cupboard for a stack of industrial coupons: "Haitang, help Aunt. Aunt is really at the end of her rope. Aunt cannot live without your First Uncle."

Yu Haitang dodged First Aunt's hand: "First Aunt, what are you doing? This won't do, this won't do. Your family is encountering things, how can I be embarrassed to take your family's things? If this spreads out, won't I be poked in the spine?"

First Aunt forcibly stuffed the industrial coupons into Yu Haitang's pocket: "Haitang! I know you have a good heart. There are only me and Old Yi in my family. The industrial coupons issued every month can't be used up, and they will expire if left. You take them and use them, don't be embarrassed. This is Aunt's little heart, don't dislike it. Haitang, Aunt doesn't ask you to plead for your First Uncle, just hope you can help Aunt inquire about some news. Have pity on Aunt, just help Aunt."

Yu Haitang said with unbearable heart: "Alas, First Aunt, I will find an opportunity tomorrow to find Cao Weiguo and ask. When there is news, I will tell you. But you don't have to worry too much. First Uncle is a Grade 8 worker, the factory will deal with it at its discretion."

First Aunt said with a bitter face: "I hope so. Haitang, I've caused you trouble, I'm really sorry."

Yu Haitang said: "Hi, what trouble or not. We all live in the same courtyard, isn't it right to look after each other? It's not early, First Aunt, you should rest early too, I won't disturb you."

First Aunt: "Walk slowly, Haitang, come often when you have time."

After Yu Haitang left, Qin Huairu walked in and asked with a face full of concern: "First Aunt, what did you talk to Yu Haitang about just now? Is there any news about First Uncle? When can he come back?"

First Aunt sighed with a low mood: "Where is there any news? I just asked Yu Haitang to help inquire about news. Otherwise, I, a housewife, where can I go to inquire about news? Alas, I am now blind in both eyes, I really don't know what to do."

Qin Huairu said secretly: "First Aunt, why don't you go to Cao Weiguo? Say some good words and plead? As long as he is willing to help, First Uncle might be fine."

First Aunt said with frustration: "I want to go to Cao Weiguo, but you also know the relationship between my family's Old Yi and Cao Weiguo. Not to mention being as incompatible as fire and water, it's almost the same. Old Yi had so many unpleasant things with him before, would he be willing to help? If it were me, I wouldn't be willing."

Although she rarely participated in the courtyard's affairs, as Yi Zhonghai's pillow partner, could she not know how deep the hatred between her own man and Cao Weiguo was?

As long as Yi Zhonghai drank, he would curse Cao Weiguo behind closed doors, and sometimes he would curse in his dreams.

Measure others by oneself!

Cao Weiguo is probably disgusted with Yi Zhonghai to the bone.

It's good enough not to kick him while he's down; how could he possibly help Old Yi?

Qin Huairu smiled: "First Aunt, you are just too honest and don't understand Cao Weiguo's character. How does the saying go? The hearts of the rich and officials are black, and those who starve or freeze are kind-hearted. Cao Weiguo has money and power, so his heart is very black. He is definitely a person who sees money and forgets righteousness. As long as you are willing to spend money and give enough benefits, don't say let Cao Weiguo help First Uncle go home, even if you let him recognize you as a godmother, it's not a matter."

First Aunt was surprised: "Really? Is Cao Weiguo such a person?"

Qin Huairu pouted: "What do you think? Do you think Cao Weiguo is a good person? But! Cao Weiguo has money, so his appetite is naturally very big. He probably won't take small favors to heart. If you want him to help, I'm afraid you have to pay a considerable price."

First Aunt asked nervously: "Huairu, you are young and have a flexible mind, and you have dealt with Cao Weiguo a lot. Help Aunt analyze, how much money would Cao Weiguo possibly help?"

A sharp light flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes, and she leaned close to First Aunt and asked in a low voice: "First Aunt, then you tell me the bottom line first, how much savings does your family have?"

First Aunt said with a chaotic heart: "There are about two thousand yuan in deposits, and I have some dowry jewelry brought from my maiden home. Do you think this little thing is enough?"

"Two thousand yuan in deposits!"

Qin Huairu's heart beat wildly, and she felt itchy with greed. She really didn't expect Yi Zhonghai's family assets to be so thick.

It's hateful that he pretended to be poor everywhere, and only gave some corn flour when helping her.

He also said Cao Weiguo was stingy; it seems Yi Zhonghai is the real iron rooster.

If all this money were in her own hands, wouldn't she become a rich woman?

Then she would never have to wash dirty clothes and clean the room for that big fool Shazhu again.

She could also buy meat home every few days.

However, how to get so much money over?

"Huairu, what are you thinking about? Speak up? Is my family's savings enough?"

Just when Qin Huairu was letting her imagination run wild, First Aunt reached out and pushed Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu came back to her senses and said: "First Aunt, I am thinking of a way for you. As far as I can see, your family's savings are not small and should be enough. But Cao Weiguo is not what he used to be. He is a factory leader, with a high salary and good treatment, and doesn't lack money to spend. I am also not sure if Cao Weiguo will look at this little money. Why don't I talk to him tomorrow and test him sideways."

First Aunt was also sick and threw the doctor, grabbing Qin Huairu's hand excitedly: "Then Huairu, you put in more effort. After Old Yi returns home, I will definitely let Old Yi thank you properly. If you ask me, Old Yi didn't look at the wrong person. You are a good woman, know how to repay kindness, have filial piety, and a warm heart. My family's Old Yi's matter is entrusted to you."

Qin Huairu smiled: "First Aunt, don't worry. First Uncle helped my family a lot. Now that First Uncle has encountered something, it is right for me to help and put in effort."
