Chapter 162

He He Yushui said angrily, "Brother, are they extorting you!"

Seeing Shazhu said with a crying face, "This! They didn't extort me, this is the compensation calculated based on the food and things I've stolen since I started working..."

Seeing Shazhu naturally wouldn't confess voluntarily, but the Security Section's methods were too torturous.

Not letting him sleep all day and night, not giving him water, not giving him food, not letting him go to the toilet, using a towel to cover his...

After a few rounds, Seeing Shazhu gave in.

He confessed everything, whether it happened or not, and almost confessed when he had wet the bed.

Seeing Shazhu, who was scared out of his wits, didn't care if the price was appropriate, and pressed his handprint on the transcript tremblingly.

How should one describe this amount? No one could say for sure if it was high or low.

Leftovers, corn flour, seasonings, and the chicken, duck, fish, and meat from the small kitchen...

These things weren't much once or twice, but they accumulated over time, adding up.

Even Factory Director Yang was shocked and speechless after seeing the transcript.

The people in the Security Section wished they could kill Seeing Shazhu on the spot; no wonder they couldn't get enough to eat.

It turned out that the food was all taken home by Seeing Shazhu!

Now Seeing Shazhu himself understood that no matter if the compensation amount was high or low, he had to pay the money obediently.

Otherwise, if this transcript were sent to the police station, even if he didn't eat a bullet, he would have to go to jail.

After listening to Seeing Shazhu's words, He He Yushui really wanted to give her own brother a slap.

She couldn't even imagine how her brother could have taken so much stuff!

If this spread, could she still hold her head up? Could any family look up to her?

"Good grandson, Grandma has over a hundred Brother Yuan, Grandma will give you all the money."

"The remaining money, you..."

The Deaf Old Lady felt sorry for Seeing Shazhu, and she had no children, so she couldn't take the money to the coffin anyway.

Noticing the Deaf Old Lady's eyes, Yi Yi Zhonghai regretted coming here very much.

But by this time, even if he wanted to run, it was too late.

Seeing Shazhu also understood the Deaf Old Lady's eyes and said to Yi Yi Zhonghai sincerely:

"First Master, you lent me money to get through the difficulties."

"I will remember this kindness for a lifetime, I will definitely be filial to you."

"The Old Lady is my grandma, you are my godfather, and the First Aunt is my godmother."

"I swear I will provide for the Old Lady, you, and the First Aunt in your old age."

Hearing Seeing Shazhu's words, plus the Deaf Old Lady's eyes.

Yi Yi Zhonghai said with complicated feelings, "Sha Zhuzi, I'll lend you this money. But you can't be foolish again in the future."

He was really scared!

If he kept going like this, all his family assets wouldn't be enough to fill the hole.

Don't end up with the old-age problem unsolved and the money gone.

At that time, he would have to starve on the street!

The four of them talked for a while, and Cao Cao Weiguo walked over:

"Time is up, we should go out."

Seeing Shazhu looked at Cao Cao Weiguo, wishing he could take a bite.

Although he was caught for stealing pork, if it weren't for Cao Cao Weiguo.

He wouldn't have lost the position of head chef, and he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Before Cao Cao Weiguo became successful, he was very important in the steel rolling mill.

He had been taking things from the canteen for so many years, but no one had ever checked him.

But it was after Cao Cao Weiguo became successful that he had bad luck.

So he attributed all of this to Cao Cao Weiguo!

Secretly swearing in his heart, after he got out, he must bring Cao Cao Weiguo down.

Sihe Academy.

The First Lady said in shock, "Old Yi, are you really going to lend money to Seeing Shazhu?"

That’s not just ten or eight Brother Yuan, that’s four hundred Brother Yuan!

Even though Yi Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-grade worker with a monthly salary of 99 Brother Yuan plus various subsidies,

four hundred Brother Yuan is still not a small sum.

Just looking at this courtyard, the number of people who could have four hundred Brother Yuan in savings can be counted on one hand.

Most importantly, lending this money to Seeing Shazhu is basically like throwing a meat bun at a dog.

It’s gone for good!

Yi Yi Zhonghai took a sip of plain boiled water and sighed helplessly:

"We have invested too much in Seeing Shazhu."

"We cannot let all our previous efforts go to waste."

"Get the money!"

At this moment, Yi Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt as if he had boarded a pirate ship.

He hadn't gained much benefit from Seeing Shazhu yet, and now he had to take the money he’d saved through frugality to clean up Seeing Shazhu's mess.

This wasn't finding someone to provide for his old age; this was finding a wild father to support!

"This incident has caused too much of a stir; I'm afraid Seeing Shazhu won't be able to get out."

"Seeing Shazhu's life might be over."

"Let's help him one last time. I hope this silly boy knows how to be grateful."

After hearing this, the First Lady felt deeply helpless and reluctantly took a wooden box out of the wardrobe.

Opening the box, it was filled with money, ration coupons, and jewelry like gold rings and bracelets.

One could see how substantial the Yi family's foundation was.

If not for Cao Cao Weiguo, Yi Yi Zhonghai would definitely be the richest person in the Sihe Academy.

After the Deaf Old Lady took the money and gave it to He He Yushui, she sat in the room waiting for Yi Yi Zhonghai.

She was also worried that Yi Yi Zhonghai would be reluctant to part with so much money.

Fortunately, Yi Yi Zhonghai had more resolve than she imagined.

Seeing Yi Yi Zhonghai hand the four hundred Brother Yuan to He He Yushui made the Deaf Old Lady breathe a sigh of relief.

Upon receiving the money, He He Yushui thanked the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Yi Zhonghai profusely.

Then, she followed Yi Yi Zhonghai to the Steel Rolling Mill once again.

Just as the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Yi Zhonghai went home to get the money, Cao Cao Weiguo made a report to Deputy Factory Director Li.

When Deputy Factory Director Li heard that someone could come up with the money to bail out Seeing Shazhu so quickly, he immediately felt he had set the amount too low.

When he set the amount, he had referenced Seeing Shazhu's salary.

Seeing Shazhu's monthly salary was thirty-seven Brother Yuan and fifty cents; this compensation amount was over a year's worth of his wages.

Cao Cao Weiguo said, "Seeing Shazhu can't afford that much money; most of it was lent to him by Yi Yi Zhonghai."

"Yi Yi Zhonghai has no children and has always wanted Seeing Shazhu to provide for his old age."

"So it was Yi Yi Zhonghai! That explains it."

Yi Yi Zhonghai is one of the few eighth-grade bench workers in the factory; coming up with four hundred Brother Yuan is no issue.

Soon, He He Yushui and Yi Yi Zhonghai found Cao Cao Weiguo.

Cao Cao Weiguo led them to Deputy Factory Director Li's office, where they closed the door and talked for quite a while.

Deputy Factory Director Li accepted the money, and Seeing Shazhu was released that same day.

Seeing Seeing Shazhu swaggering home, the workers immediately began to gossip.

The rumors regarding Seeing Shazhu and Factory Director Yang were "confirmed" at this moment.

"This Factory Director Yang is simply bending the law for personal gain!"

"No wonder Seeing Shazhu dared to be so arrogant; it turns out he really has someone backing him!"

"Factory Director Yang and Seeing Shazhu are birds of a feather!"
