Chapter 201: Being Extorted

Sihe Academy

Yan Family

After sending Cao Weiguo off, Third Uncle turned and returned to the room.

"Eldest, you heard what Cao Weiguo said."

Third Uncle said seriously: "The expenses for arranging the job won't be small."

Yan Jiecheng pleaded: "Dad, you must help me with this. I will definitely double my filial piety to you in the future."

Third Uncle sighed: "If the money needed isn't much, I can help, but if it's too much, don't blame me as your father."

Yan Jiecheng sat on the stool with a heavy heart: "I know, Dad."

He also knew the family's situation and couldn't hope for too much.

Yu Li said: "Since Cao Weiguo agreed to help, he must have some idea."

"He also knows our family's situation somewhat; he wouldn't bring up something we can't do."

"Presumably, the money needed for the arrangements won't be so much that we can't bear it."

Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up: "That's right, Cao Weiguo must have an idea."

Third Uncle said: "Yu Li hit the nail on the head! Eldest, if you have time, go out and ask around about how much a job position at the rolling mill costs."

Yan Jiecheng nodded: "I know, I'll go ask around tomorrow."

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiedi, and Yan Jiekuang were grabbing the cured meat like wolves and tigers.

The Yan family had strict rules; children couldn't sit at the table when adults were eating.

These three half-grown children could only gnaw on corn buns in the inner room.

Once the guests left, they immediately came out to grab meat to eat.

"Stop eating!"

Third Uncle took away the remaining stir-fried cabbage with cured meat: "You've all eaten dinner, don't waste food. This dish is for tomorrow."

This made the three children both angry and aggrieved.

Why could their eldest brother and sister-in-law sit at the table and eat meat, while they weren't even given leftovers?

Middle Courtyard

Cao Weiguo passed by, tipsy, and Qin Huairu hurriedly chased after him.

"Weiguo, wait!"

Cao Weiguo looked at Qin Huairu: "Qin Jie, do you need something?"

Qin Huairu said pitifully: "Weiguo, Banggeng needs to go to the hospital to change his dressing. Can you lend me 20 yuan?"

"How much?"

"20 yuan, Weiguo, please help me."

Cao Weiguo shook his head: "I can't help. I've had high expenses recently, and I don't have any spare money."

He really didn't want to interact with the Jia family much.

Money was a small matter.

It was just that the Jia family's water was too deep.

They were the type to get cocky the moment you gave them a little sunshine!

They'd finish the scriptures and then beat the monk!

Qin Huairu's beautiful eyes filled with tears: "I know you have resentment in your heart, but I'm also helpless. Can't you help me?"

Cao Weiguo smiled bitterly: "Qin Jie, my salary is all in my wife's hands. Even if I wanted to help you, I have no money."

Qin Huairu said in a shy, low voice: "I know you have it. Weiguo, help me out, I won't forget your kindness, I will repay you."

Cao Weiguo looked at Qin Huairu in surprise.

What's wrong with this woman?

Before Cao Weiguo could recover, a dark shadow rushed out from the room.

"You beast!"

"You shameless thing!"

"Neighbors, come and see! There's a shameless beast flirting with a widow!"

Jia Zhangshi shouted at the top of her lungs: "They're having an affair! They're cheating!"

"Jia Zhangshi, you're slandering me!"

Cao Weiguo was furious, feeling like he had stepped in dog shit the moment he stepped out.

He had been set up without even realizing it!

He and Qin Huairu hadn't even touched, and this Jia Zhangshi had jumped out to splash dirty water on him.

Was this a honey trap?

"Where do you think you're going!"

Cao Weiguo wanted to leave but was grabbed by the arm by Jia Zhangshi.

"Get lost!"

Cao Weiguo shook his arm, and Jia Zhangshi sat on the ground with a thud.

"Ouch! Help!"

"The adulterer is killing someone!"

"Everyone, come quickly!"

Jia Zhangshi sat on the ground and began to wail and scream.

"Mom! What are you doing!" ===== CHAPTER 203 =====
