Chapter 339

"Things aren't as serious as you think."

"This isn't a big deal either."

"You are different from Old Yi."

"Old Yi tore his face off with Cao Weiguo long ago."

"You and Weiguo have never had a falling out."

"Besides, it's not like Cao Weiguo doesn't know our family's situation."

"It's already quite good that our family didn't go to his house to eat and drink for free."

"Could he still find fault with you?"

"Give him more smiles in the future, and after a while, this will pass."

"Don't take it too seriously."

The Third Uncle felt a bit better, but still sighed and said:

"I just feel ashamed."

"Calculating back and forth, I'm not even as good as Liu Haizhong."

The Third Aunt comforted him: "Old Yan, you are much stronger than Liu Haizhong; this time was just a mistake, and with your brain, you'll make up for it sooner or later."

In the afternoon, she had also complained that the Third Uncle was foolish, but after all, they were an old married couple who had walked this path together.

Seeing her own man so depressed, she naturally couldn't help but feel heartache.

The Third Uncle sighed: "I hope it goes as you wish."

Middle Courtyard

Shazhu was reporting at the Yi household; he had never forgotten about bringing down Cao Weiguo.

To bring down Cao Weiguo, one must catch the other party's handle.

So, whenever Shazhu had time, he would stare at Cao Weiguo, hoping to find a flaw.

Today Cao Weiguo returned late, so he couldn't help but come to find the First Uncle to discuss it.

They speculated together about what Cao Weiguo had been doing.

Could he have gone to do something illegal or against discipline?

If Cao Weiguo knew Shazhu's speculation, he would probably be scared stiff.

"In the past, when he went out and returned late, he said he was going out to cook, and he would always have some food or supplies hanging on his handlebars."

"But today, there was nothing on his handlebars."

"This isn't normal."

Shazhu seemed to transform into a Grim Reaper elementary school student, stroking his chin as he analyzed.

The First Uncle nodded: "It is somewhat abnormal; you can go and inquire tomorrow."

Shazhu said excitedly: "Done, I'll go inquire tomorrow; if I can catch Cao Weiguo's handle, I won't be surnamed He if I don't finish him off."

The First Uncle smiled and said: "Zhuzi, you've matured quite a bit recently, knowing how to use your brain more; this is progress."

Shazhu laughed foolishly: "First Uncle, you're joking; what does this count for? It's not worth mentioning."

In reality, he was scared stiff by Cao Weiguo's beatings, otherwise he wouldn't be using his brain.

The Sihe Academy God of War relied on fists and feet that had beaten the world invincible!

Not some brain; that stuff was too dirty, he didn't care for it.

The First Uncle looked at the "grown up" Shazhu and suddenly felt a sense of old-age comfort.

Having a bit of a brain is good.

Lest his investment go down the drain.

"Zhuzi, tomorrow you go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and tidy up the house properly."

"I entrusted Wang Po to find a girl for you."

"It's scheduled for you to meet the day after tomorrow."

"That girl works at the state-run restaurant in the West City."

"Good job, pretty appearance, the conditions are great."

Yi Zhonghai instructed with a kind face: "You must perform well and seize this opportunity."

"So good!"

"Thank you, First Uncle! You are the one who treats me best!"

Has a job! Pretty appearance!

A girl with such good conditions, this is simply a pie falling from the sky.

Thinking about going on a blind date with such a good girl, Shazhu was so happy his chrysanthemum bloomed.

However, as he laughed, Shazhu's old face turned red as he rubbed his hands:

"First Uncle, you also know that my hands are tight recently."

"Can you lend me a few yuan for an emergency?"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back when I have money."

These words made the First Uncle's spine feel cold, and his palms felt itchy.

Borrowing money!

Borrowing money again!

Do you think I run a banknote printing factory?

When have you ever paid back the money you borrowed?

They say a meat bun hitting a dog never returns.

You are even worse than a dog!

If I wasn't counting on you to provide for my old age, I'd slap you into a cesspit and drown you!

Don't get angry! Don't get angry!

No one will replace you if you get sick from anger!

Who would be happy if I died of anger?

It's all my fault for being blind in the beginning and choosing such a stupid, dog-like thing.

The path I chose, I have to finish walking it even if I'm on my knees!

Otherwise, I'll really lose everything!

If Cao Weiguo knew Yi Zhonghai's mindset, he would definitely award Yi Zhonghai a Leek Medal.

This guy is definitely an antique-level leek in the stock market!

Forcing down the urge to press Shazhu into the cesspit, Yi Zhonghai took two yuan from the cupboard with his heart bleeding.

"Zhuzi, it's not easy for your Uncle to earn money either."

"Use it sparingly."

"These are all your Uncle's retirement savings."

Yi Zhonghai handed the money to Shazhu with reluctance, tears already welling up in his eyes.

"Don't worry, First Uncle."

"I'll pay you back when I have money."

Shazhu grabbed the money and said with a mindless laugh:

"Besides, you are my biological godfather; I'll provide for your old age in the future and guarantee to send you off comfortably."
