Chapter 233: Jia Zhangshi

Sihe Academy

In the dead of night, the First Uncle lies in bed, his chest tight with anger.

He bled heavily today!

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

This time the Jia family borrowed money from him.

In the future, residents will endlessly come to him to borrow money.

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

This makes him feel aggrieved, but he has to lend it!

Without a good reputation, how can he be this respected First Uncle.

"Old Yi, what's wrong with you, your face is so pale?"

The First Aunt notices the First Uncle's face and pours a bowl of hot water with concern.

"Cough cough!"

The First Uncle sits up and takes a sip of hot water, feeling his chest blocked and uncomfortable.

"Hey! Cao Weiguo's heart is too vicious!"

"Selfish! Narrow-minded! Heartless! Cold-blooded and treacherous! Disrespectful to elders..."

Listening to the First Uncle's complaints, the First Aunt shakes her head and smiles bitterly:

"Old Yi, it's not worth getting angry; let's just ignore Cao Weiguo in the future."

The First Uncle roars irritably: "Why!"

The First Aunt is scared and retreats: "What are you roaring for."

The First Uncle realizes he has lost his composure and sighs with a lonely expression:

"I am the First Uncle in the courtyard, the elder in the courtyard; why should I tolerate Cao Weiguo."

Looking at her stubborn old partner, the First Aunt can only sigh silently.

Cao Family

After returning home, Song Yulan is a bit worried.

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

Cao Weiguo says disdainfully: "Well water doesn't interfere with river water; if he doesn't provoke me, I won't bother with him, but if he insists on finding trouble, I won't be soft-hearted."

Doesn't the First Uncle 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 just by empty words.

Isn't the First Uncle high-minded and willing to help others?

Then push the Jia family onto him and let him help with open hands.

Perhaps in the future, Bang Geng will be grateful and provide for his old age.

The Jia family can also have a solid reliance.

Qin Huairu can also save herself from searching everywhere.

Song Yulan mixes a basin of hot water and gently and considerately washes Cao Weiguo's feet.

Cao Weiguo takes a picture book and reads stories to Song Yulan.

Their little life is lived comfortably.

Jia Family

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

The residents' donations plus the money borrowed from the First Uncle.

Adding up the large and small amounts, it totals fifty-eight yuan and three cents.

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

This is equivalent to two months of her salary.

Jia Zhangshi smiles and says: "This First Uncle is really rich; if he helped our family like Shazhu, our family would be eating meat every meal."

Recalling Cao Weiguo's words, calculating the First Uncle's salary, seniority, and daily expenses.

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

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

Jia Zhangshi says: "So what if he's shrewd? As long as there is a weakness, he can be manipulated."

What is the First Uncle's weakness?

That is vanity and valuing his good reputation.

Jia Zhangshi smiles and says: "In the future, you take the children to the First Uncle's house more often."

"Diligently help the First Aunt clean up and help promote the First Uncle's good reputation."

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

"Can they not often provide relief and help our family."

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

"They can't spend all the money they've saved; it's better to help our family more."

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

Qin Huairu feels that what Jia Zhangshi said makes sense: "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Jia Zhangshi takes three yuan from the stack of money and hands it to Qin Huairu:

"Take this money to treat Bang Geng's illness and buy some meat to nourish my eldest grandson's body."

"Hey, speaking of this matter, it's all Cao Weiguo's fault."

"If he hadn't been carrying fish to tempt people, Bang Geng wouldn't have gone to catch fish."

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

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

Qin Huairu looks at the sleeping Bang Geng, feeling resentment toward Cao Weiguo in her heart.

You can give fish to the Third Uncle, why couldn't you give it to her.

Is she not as good as the Third Uncle?

Yan Family

The Third Uncle feels both heartache and joy.

Heartache is that he donated one yuan.

Joy is that the First Uncle lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

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

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

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

Thinking that this Yi Zhonghai organizes donations from time to time, he feels 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 Uncle, has to set an example to maintain his reputation.

With this example, several jin of cornmeal are gone!

The Third Aunt says: "This Old Yi hides too deeply."

Early Morning

The couple is eating when two little girls, one tall and one short, arrive at the door.

Standing outside without coming in, their eyes are fixed on the steaming table. ===== CHAPTER 235 =====
