Chapter 309

Cao Weiguo had acquired traditional Chinese medical skills and saw the old man's condition at a glance.

He shouted to disperse the crowd, laid the old man flat, and took off his clothes to dissipate heat.

"Quick, give me some cold water!"

"I'll go get it!"

Soon a villager brought a bucket of water, and Cao Weiguo used the water to wipe the old man down.

He pressed the old man's tiger's mouth and philtrum...

After a methodical operation, the old man opened his eyes.

The villagers all breathed a sigh of relief, and the old man's son thanked Cao Weiguo profusely.

Sun the Lame, who ran over sweating profusely, praised Cao Weiguo repeatedly.

Qin Huairu found Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai for help, hoping they would help persuade Cao Weiguo.

Let Cao Weiguo issue a letter of forgiveness to reduce Banggeng's punishment.

Shazhu was naturally willing to give his all for Qin Huairu, but Yi Zhonghai, that old fox, wouldn't.

Cao Weiguo had already torn his face with him, so his face as the Eldest Uncle wouldn't work.

Even if he went to Cao Weiguo to plead, the other party wouldn't give him face, and he would just be humiliated for nothing.

"Huairu! Don't make things difficult for your uncle!"

"Who in the courtyard doesn't know that Cao Weiguo doesn't put me, the Eldest Uncle, in his eyes at all."

"To him, I'm just a fart!"

"You'd be better off finding the Second Uncle and Third Uncle than finding me."

Yi Zhonghai spoke miserably, Qin Huairu hypocritically comforted him with a few words, and then turned right out the door.

Yi Zhonghai was no longer useful, so she naturally wouldn't waste any more time.

Watching Qin Huairu walk away so decisively, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but get angry.

Although they say people leave and tea cools, Qin Huairu was too realistic, wasn't she?

Shazhu said to Qin Huairu: "The Third Uncle loves to take small advantages; if you want him to help, you'll have to send some benefits."

Qin Huairu looked at Shazhu pitifully, using her ultimate move: the pretty widow's tears.

"Boohoo! Pillar!"

"My family has long been out of money, and the grain bag is empty."

"Where would I have benefits to send to the Third Uncle."

"Zhuzi! I know you're the only one in this courtyard who is good to me."

"Now, Sister can only rely on you."

Hearing Qin Huairu's crying, Shazhu felt both pity and pride in his heart.

Pity for Qin Huairu's hardship.

Pride in Qin Huairu's reliance.

He was now Qin Huairu's reliance!

"Qin Jie, wait for me here for a moment."

Shazhu said a word and strode back to Yi Zhonghai's house.

He shamelessly borrowed 2 yuan from Yi Zhonghai.

This made Yi Zhonghai's chest feel blocked with anger, and he even had the urge to break off relations with Shazhu again.

But thinking about how much energy and money he had invested, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

The path he chose, he had to walk even if he had to crawl.

Otherwise, everything he had paid would be like fetching water with a bamboo basket.

Shazhu didn't care about Yi Zhonghai's expression; he only had the white lotus in his heart.

"Qin Jie, let's go find the Third Uncle together."

Qin Huairu said with a face full of emotion: "Zhuzi, you are so good."

Shazhu was so happy that snot bubbles were about to come out.

The two arrived at the front yard together and found the Third Uncle watering flowers.

Qin Huairu cried and complained, begging, and also sprinkled a basin of soul-bewitching medicine on the Third Uncle.

She said he was the most learned and respected elder in the courtyard, flattering the Third Uncle until he wanted to wag his tail.

Although Qin Huairu's praise made him feel very good and comfortable, the Third Uncle cared more about practical benefits.

Shazhu cursed a few times in his heart and took out a blue paper note from his pocket.

The 2-yuan banknote issued on March 1, 1955, had blue as the main color, and the front pattern was Pagoda Hill.

According to current market prices, it could buy a chicken.

This hit the Third Uncle's vital point directly, making the Third Uncle rub his hands with eyes glowing:

"Shazhu, what is this?"

Shazhu smiled and took out the 2-yuan banknote and waved it:

"This favor won't be for nothing; as long as Cao Weiguo issues the letter of forgiveness, this will be yours."

The Third Uncle looked at Shazhu with a smile: "Zhuzi, whoever says anything about you, the Third Uncle will get anxious with them."

Shazhu said with a smile: "You are wise, sir."

The Third Uncle stared greedily at the money: "I can go plead with Cao Weiguo, but whether this matter succeeds or not, I can't work for nothing, right?"

Qin Huairu quickly said: "Third Uncle, look at how humble you are; who in our courtyard doesn't know that Cao Weiguo respects you the most."

"Once you, sir, step forward, how could Cao Weiguo not give you face."

"Does he still want to stay in the courtyard in the future?"

The Third Uncle pushed his glasses, feeling lightheaded: "I wouldn't dare say that; I'll try my best to plead for you. After all, we are all neighbors, and we will still live in the same courtyard in the future. We see each other every day, so it's better to be harmonious."

After settling the Third Uncle, Qin Huairu and Shazhu went to find the Second Uncle.

As usual, it was a round of flattery and praise, and the two grasped the Second Uncle's weakness.

They promised to follow the Second Uncle's lead in the courtyard in the future.

As long as it was the Second Uncle's decision, they would firmly support it.

The power-hungry Second Uncle happily agreed to go back and plead with Cao Weiguo. ===== CHAPTER 311 =====
