Chapter 304

Kung Pao Chicken and Twice-Cooked Pork—the oil and water were so much that the Second Aunt was jealous.

The Second Uncle swallowed his saliva: "Hmph! Eating for free isn't enough, they even have to take some; this face is really thick enough."

The Second Aunt said jealously: "Exactly! This Cao Weiguo also has no eye for people; how could he take a fancy to the Lu family? This family is not a good thing from the root."

The Lu family's family background wasn't good, and they weren't liked either openly or secretly.

But unexpectedly, this Lu Jin Peng actually latched onto Cao Weiguo's thigh.

The Lu family's life was getting better day by day, which made many people jealous.

The Second Uncle gave a cold snort of disdain: "Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes; a mouse's son knows how to dig holes. Isn't it normal for the descendants of landlords to be good at flattering?"

In Liu Haizhong's eyes, Lu Jin Peng was Cao Weiguo's lackey.

Although he said it with disdain, he still couldn't help but feel envious in his heart.

He also wanted to latch onto Cao Weiguo's thigh!

Cao Weiguo was a favorite in front of the factory director!

If he got Cao Weiguo's help, wouldn't his official career be a matter of course.

It was precisely because of this idea that he didn't stand on a unified front with Yi Zhonghai today.

Although he and Yi Zhonghai didn't get along and always wanted to replace him.

But when dealing with courtyard affairs, he and Yi Zhonghai mostly stood together.

After all, they were both uncles in the courtyard, and maintaining the authority of the uncles was their common interest.

But today he didn't stand with Yi Zhonghai because the protagonist of the event was Cao Weiguo.

He knew clearly in his heart which was lighter and which was heavier between Yi Zhonghai and Cao Weiguo.

"Old Yi doesn't have Lu Jin Peng's intelligence."

"Just watch, it's only a matter of time before Old Yi suffers."

Yi Zhonghai launched a verbal attack on Cao Weiguo.

Cao Weiguo also cursed Yi Zhonghai as an old dog.

The two had already torn their faces apart.

Judging others by oneself!

Liu Haizhong didn't think Cao Weiguo would spare Yi Zhonghai lightly.

If he had Cao Weiguo's power, he would definitely make Yi Zhonghai kneel on the ground and eat dung.

Xu Damao was entertaining himself at home, eating side dishes and drinking small sips of wine.

Thinking of Shazhu being beaten up today, he couldn't stop feeling happy in his heart.

It was just a pity!

Cao Weiguo's hand was too light; he didn't beat Shazhu until he was bedridden.

If it were him who took action, at the very least he would have beaten Shazhu into a cripple, kneeling on the ground and calling him Grandpa.

Through the open door, he saw Aunt Du carrying dishes out of the backyard.

"This Lu Jin Peng is capable; he's getting hot with Cao Weiguo."

Middle Courtyard

Shazhu was complaining to Yi Zhonghai righteously:

"First Uncle, this Cao Weiguo is simply lawless!"

"You must preside over justice!"

"Sister Qin is too bitter and too aggrieved!"

Yi Zhonghai's old face was gloomy at this time, clenching his fists without speaking.

If it were in the past, Yi Zhonghai would have long ago convened a courtyard-wide meeting to "educate" Cao Weiguo.

But now, he really couldn't muster the courage to offend Cao Weiguo.

The reason was simple: the situation was stronger than the person!

In the past, Cao Weiguo was a lonely orphan; now Cao Weiguo was a cadre at the rolling mill.

Ever since Cao Weiguo became deputy director, the wind direction in the Sihe Academy had changed.

How many people were fawning over Cao Weiguo, and how many people were thinking of basking in Cao Weiguo's light.

If a courtyard-wide meeting were really held, it wasn't certain who would educate whom.

What's more, Cao Weiguo was vicious.

Even if he was an eighth-level fitter, he was afraid of Cao Weiguo making trouble in secret.

Just at this time, Xiaodang also started crying: "First Uncle, I miss Mom! I want Mom!"

Looking at the pitiful Xiaodang and Huaihua, Yi Zhonghai remained silent.

The Jia family dared to be fierce and domineering in the Sihe Academy because they had Yi Zhonghai's backing.

But Yi Zhonghai backing the Jia family was only because of Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu.

Jia Dongxu was his apprentice.

Qin Huairu was someone who knew how to handle things.

This time, Yi Zhonghai also wanted to back Qin Huairu, but unfortunately, the opponent was too strong.

He couldn't back her!

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment; even if he couldn't fight Cao Weiguo on the surface, he couldn't let him have an easy time:

"Xiaodang, stop crying here. Your mother was taken away because of Cao Weiguo; you take Huaihua and go cry at Cao Weiguo's house."

"You go beg Cao Weiguo to withdraw the case; if he doesn't withdraw the case, you stay at his house and keep crying."

Under Yi Zhonghai's instigation, Xiaodang led little Huaihua crying all the way to Cao's door.

The two little girls crying for their mother really disgusted Cao Weiguo.

Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai were both watching Cao Weiguo's joke.

The residents were also discussing Cao Weiguo, and their saintly hearts were overflowing without cost.

"Wife, go get some jujube cakes."

Song Yulan took out jujube cakes from the kitchen cabinet, and Xiaodang and Huaihua were drooling with greed.

They had both eaten the jujube cakes Cao Weiguo gave them.

They were soft and sweet!

Cao Weiguo took the jujube cakes and handed them to Xiaodang and Huaihua: "Xiaodang, Huaihua, you are hungry, right? Eat these."

The fragrant jujube cakes were handed to them, and Xiaodang and Huaihua forgot to cry.

They reached out and took the jujube cakes, eating them in big mouthfuls.

Cao Weiguo took out a handful of candies and asked: "Xiaodang, Huaihua, can you tell Uncle who told you to come over?"

Before they finished eating the jujube cakes, they saw another handful of candies.

Xiaodang blurted out without any hesitation: "First Uncle told us to come."

Song Yulan gritted her teeth in anger, and Cao Weiguo's heart burned with fire.

Suppressing the fire in his heart, Cao Weiguo stuffed the candies into Xiaodang's pocket:

"Take these candies home and eat them yourself."

"If you are hungry, you can come find your Aunt Yulan."

"Your mother just went to the police station to cooperate with the police uncle to investigate the case."

"As long as your mother hasn't made a mistake, she will be back soon."

"You must believe in your mother."

"It's dark outside; hurry home and sleep."

"Remember, if you are hungry, come find your Aunt Yulan."

"Thank you, Uncle Weiguo!"

"Thank you, Uncle Weiguo!"

Xiaodang and Huaihua were easily bought off by jujube cakes and candies.

They only wanted to go home and eat enough candy now; as for their mother, she had been thrown to the back of their minds.

Although they were still young, the character of little ungrateful wretches had already begun to show.

And the reason they wanted their mother back was largely because they were afraid of being hungry.

Now Cao Weiguo not only gave them jujube cakes and candies but also told them to come find Aunt Yulan if they were hungry.

Then what were they afraid of? What else did they need their mother for?
