Chapter 578

Even while pregnant, she insists on not letting Cao Weiguo always do the cooking.

In her mindset, a man should do a man's work.

Washing clothes and cooking are a woman's job.

Otherwise, she is not a competent wife.

Cao Weiguo cannot win against her.

He can only passively act as the master of the house.

He turns on the radio.

He brews some tea.

He reads a novel in a leisurely manner.

This life!

It's beautiful!

"Is Weiguo home?"

"I'm home!"

Just as Cao Weiguo is enjoying himself, Liu Haizhong walks in with his hands behind his back.

"Weiguo!"

"Uncle has a small matter I'd like to ask for your help with."

Liu Haizhong smiles and gets straight to the point:

"Uncle wants to buy a bicycle, but these bicycle coupons are too hard to get."

"Uncle knows you have the ability, see if you can help Uncle get one."

"Of course, Uncle won't let you work for nothing."

"The bicycle coupon will be paid at its proper price."

"Additionally, Uncle will give you three yuan for your trouble."

Cao Weiguo has bicycle coupons in his possession, and more than one.

It's just that this Liu Haizhong has too many schemes.

If you give him a bicycle coupon today,

Tomorrow he might report you for speculation and profiteering.

Cao Weiguo does not want to invite trouble upon himself:

"First Uncle!"

"You think too highly of me."

"You are a veteran backbone of the steel rolling mill."

"Don't you know how scarce bicycle coupons are?"

"If you were asking me to find some meat or vegetables,"

"I could manage that."

"But finding a bicycle coupon, I don't have that ability."

Cao Weiguo does not agree to help.

Liu Haizhong feels somewhat displeased:

"Weiguo! You can't fool your Uncle!"

"Who in our courtyard and factory doesn't know your capabilities!"

"You know so many leading cadres."

"Getting a bicycle coupon is just a matter of saying the word."

"If you're afraid I'll renege on the debt, I'll give you the money now."

Cao Weiguo smiles bitterly: "First Uncle!"

"You have truly misunderstood me."

"Even if you lent me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare fool you!"

"I am truly willing but unable; you really have overestimated me."

"If you really don't believe me, you can take my bicycle away."

Cao Weiguo speaks with such sincerity that Liu Haizhong is left with no choice.

He can't really take the bicycle away, can he!

Although he really wants to do just that.

But Cao Weiguo is not an ordinary person, after all.

He is also afraid of offending Cao Weiguo.

"Fine!"

"I thought too simply about this matter."

"You go back to your business, I'm heading back."

Liu Haizhong turns and leaves, disappointed.

He feels uncomfortable inside.

No matter what Cao Weiguo says,

He simply believes Cao Weiguo is unwilling to help.

Bicycle coupons are hard to get?

Then did your bicycle coupon fall from the sky?

You can ride a bicycle,

Why can't you help me ride one too?

If you don't want to help, just say so.

Why all the beating around the bush!

Putting on an act!

Hypocritical!

False!

Bah!

Liu Haizhong returns home with a dark face.

His wife and sons surround him, faces full of expectation.

"When are you bringing back the bicycle coupon?"

"Dad! Let's buy a Forever brand one for our family too!"

"Buy! Buy, buy! Buy my foot!"

Liu Haizhong, with a gloomy face, slams a palm onto the table:

"Cao Weiguo doesn't know what's good for him!"

"He's completely unwilling to help."

"What a snob!"

"He's looking down on me, the First Uncle!"

Liu Guangtian sits down, dejected.

He had wanted to ride a bicycle to woo Qin Jingru.

Now that's out of the question!

Second Aunt says irritably: "This Cao Weiguo is too heartless!"

"Our family has a pretty good relationship with him."

"You haven't looked after him any less."

"I even help him watch his house on weekdays."

"And I help him sweep the courtyard from time to time."

"Guangtian and Guangfu haven't helped him with chores any less either."

"Why is he unwilling to help with such a small favor?"

Liu Haizhong scowls and snorts: "Didn't I just say?"

"He is just a snob who looks down on people!"
