Would he kindly help me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Uncle said, \"I will use my old face to help you speak, but you also have to lower your posture. If you ask someone to do something, you have to have the attitude of asking someone to do something. No matter how unwilling you are, you have to endure it. Your most urgent task now is to transfer back to the kitchen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He He Yushui said anxiously, \"Brother, if you are a night-soil collector, what matchmaker would be willing to speak for you? What girl would be able to take a fancy to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu also advised, \"Sha Zhuzi, asking someone to do something is not shameful; being laughed at all the time is shameful. Tell me, how many people in the courtyard don’t laugh at you for being a night-soil collector?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shazhu’s face looked ugly. \"Fine! Fine! Fine! I’ll go ask that villain Cao Cao Weiguo, won’t I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group walked out of the room and marched aggressively to the Cao household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Uncle called out from outside the door: \"Cao Weiguo, come out for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo put down his steamed bun, opened the door, and looked at them. \"First Uncle, what is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Uncle said kindly, \"Cao Weiguo, we are here to ask for your help. You know about Sha Zhuzi’s matter; he just had a slip of the tongue and had no other bad intentions. For the sake of being neighbors in the same courtyard, please help him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shazhu said reluctantly, \"Cao Cao Weiguo, if you help me transfer back to the kitchen, I will definitely repay you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said with a bitter smile, \"I am very willing to help, but this time it was Deputy Factory Director Li who spoke, saying that he wanted to severely punish Brother He for destroying worker unity and having corrupt ideology. I am just a small Deputy Director; even if I go to plead, Deputy Factory Director Li won’t listen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shazhu said angrily, \"I just complained a little; how did I destroy worker unity, how was I ideologically corrupt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said sternly, \"Brother He, this hat wasn’t put on by me; it was put on by the leadership and the coworkers. And what you said was indeed easy for people to grab hold of. Just that sentence about the workshop not being a place for humans—it wouldn’t be wrong to drag you out for a struggle session.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shazhu was suddenly speechless, the First Uncle’s face was ugly, and He He Yushui widened her eyes in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t expect her stupid brother to dare to say such \"rebellious\" words!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Uncle also blamed Seeing Shazhu for being disappointing and having no sense of proportion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it was related to his retirement, he couldn’t ignore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Uncle said, \"Cao Weiguo, Sha Zhuzi really had a slip of the tongue this time. He is kind-hearted and has no bad intentions. He has already deeply reviewed his mistakes. You are the most promising person in our courtyard; please help Sha Zhuzi. If he keeps sweeping toilets, I’m afraid he won’t be able to marry a wife in this life. Can you bear to see him lonely?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo sighed. \"First Uncle, I’ll give you face, and for the sake of being neighbors for many years, I’ll help Brother He. You guys go back first, and I’ll talk to Brother He alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Uncle beamed with joy. \"Good, good, I knew you were a kind-hearted and emotional young man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received a satisfactory answer, the First Uncle, Qin Qin Huairu, and He He Yushui left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shazhu was left alone at the door with a sour face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo whispered, \"Brother He, I won’t say empty words to you. I will try my best to help you transfer back to the kitchen, but this matter can’t be done just by mouth; it also requires some action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shazhu asked stupidly, \"What action? Do you want me to write a review?\" ===== CHAPTER 61 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1753,"2026-06-16T06:41:09.589Z","2026-06-16T08:22:04.667Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6c20cd909a73f532a7a1996d0c2cb29d8e33a007522c2242de9de699c56013c6","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-34","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-32",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-cover.gif"]
