Chapter 59

The Jia family is so rich!

They had always thought the Jia family was in difficulty; it turns out they were the wealthy ones.

Qin Qin Huairu looked panicked; Cao Cao Weiguo had exposed their family's bottom line.

It would be difficult for her to borrow money or things from neighbors in the future!

Jia Jia Zhangshi exploded: "Cao Cao Weiguo, you beast, that pension was exchanged for my son's life; that money cannot be touched!"

Cao Cao Weiguo retorted: "Your family's money cannot be touched, and my family's money didn't come from a strong wind either."

The First Master sighed: "Cao Weiguo, Jia Jia Zhangshi, let's stop here. Neighbors should live in harmony; arguing is not good for anyone."

Cao Cao Weiguo pulled Song Song Yulan back into the room without a word and closed the door forcefully.

Sha Zhu leaned over to Jia Jia Zhangshi and comforted her: "Auntie, don't get worked up over that petty person Cao Cao Weiguo; it's not worth it to ruin your health."

Jia Jia Zhangshi said with a gloomy face: "Cao Cao Weiguo, this beast, is bullying people too much. I, an old woman, am not finished with him!"

Qin Qin Huairu sighed: "Mom, let's go home first."

The First Master shook his head and dispersed the neighbors watching the show, thinking to himself: Neither Jia Jia Zhangshi nor Cao Cao Weiguo are easy to deal with.

Jia Jia Zhangshi is insatiable!

Cao Cao Weiguo is heartless! ===== CHAPTER 106 =====

Sihe Academy

Cao Household

Both of them were furious at Jia Jia Zhangshi; she really was an unreasonable old shrew.

"How can there be such a person!"

Song Song Yulan slapped the table in anger: "I'm about to die of anger."

Cao Cao Weiguo held Song Song Yulan's hand and comforted her: "Don't get angry with that kind of person. Just have less contact with the Jia family in the future. We'll close our doors and live our own lives."

Song Song Yulan said impatiently: "You don't pay attention to her, but she keeps pushing her luck."

"Whoo—rururu!"

At this moment, the kettle on the stove boiled, and Song Song Yulan hurried over.

She filled the thermos with boiling water, poured the remaining water into a foot-washing basin, and added a few ladles of cold water.

She tested the water temperature with her hand before carrying the basin to Cao Cao Weiguo and squatting down.

"Time to wash your feet."

Seeing Song Song Yulan about to take off his shoes again, Cao Cao Weiguo hurriedly said: "I'll wash them myself."

Song Song Yulan slapped Cao Cao Weiguo's lower leg: "Oh, don't move, you might kick the water over."

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "I'll wash them myself, you've been busy with the house all day and you're tired too."

Song Song Yulan looked up and said with a happy smile: "Lift your feet. I'm your wife, I'm happy to wash your feet."

"Wife, you're so good. Marrying you is the greatest blessing of my life."

Cao Cao Weiguo was moved, his heart feeling as warm as if it were soaking in a hot spring.

Song Song Yulan took off his shoes and put Cao Cao Weiguo's feet into the water: "Is it okay?"

"Very comfortable."

Cao Cao Weiguo nodded happily.

Song Song Yulan happily and gently massaged his feet, making Cao Cao Weiguo feel like he was floating on a cloud.

After washing his feet, Song Song Yulan went out to pour the water.

Cao Cao Weiguo put on his slippers to get the thermos, and after Song Song Yulan returned, he snatched the foot-washing basin.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to wash your feet too."

Song Song Yulan said anxiously: "How can that be? You're a grown man, how can you wash someone else's feet?"

Cao Cao Weiguo nimbly poured the water and adjusted it, then pressed Song Song Yulan into a chair.

"What's wrong with washing my own wife's feet!"

He forcefully took off her old cloth shoes and grabbed Song Song Yulan's feet, putting them into the water.

Song Song Yulan's foot shape was beautiful, with rough calluses on the soles—traces of years of working in the fields.

"Cao Cao Weiguo, I want to serve you for the rest of my life."

Feeling her husband's thoughtfulness, Song Song Yulan's heart felt both sour and sweet.

"I want to have children for you, lots of children."

After Cao Cao Weiguo returned from pouring the foot-washing water, Song Song Yulan hugged him in a daze.

"Mm, let's work together to expand our family."

Picking Song Song Yulan up, Cao Cao Weiguo rushed to the bedroom with a surging heart.

Jia Household

Qin Qin Huairu lay on the bed, staring blankly at the pitch-black ceiling.

Loneliness and desolation drowned her like a tide, and countless worries surged in her heart.

"Qin Qin Huairu, we must not let Cao Cao Weiguo, that beast, off the hook!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi suddenly blurted out a sentence, making Qin Qin Huairu feel irritable.

"And what if we don't let him off?"

"We're orphans and widows, we can't fight him!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi's eyes were sinister: "Even a rabbit will bite when pushed to the limit. As long as you have the heart, there's nothing that can't be done."

Qin Qin Huairu said: "What's the use of having the heart? Cao Cao Weiguo has money and power. If we really provoke him, he can get me kicked out of the steel mill in a few words, and then our whole family will have to drink the northwest wind."

This sentence made Jia Jia Zhangshi a little afraid, but the hatred in her heart didn't diminish at all.

Jia Jia Zhangshi said cunningly: "We can't beat Cao Cao Weiguo, but we can target his wife. She's a country girl, unfamiliar with the place. You should get closer to her, then borrow money from her. She'll be too embarrassed to refuse. If we don't dig a piece of meat out of the Cao family, I won't feel happy."

Qin Qin Huairu's eyes flickered, and she pondered slightly: "Okay, I'll try. She's been learning sewing from me recently anyway."

Jia Jia Zhangshi sneered: "Next time you teach her, bring the three children along. That country girl won't have the heart not to give the children something to eat."

Qin Qin Huairu nodded: "Okay."

Cao Cao Weiguo's life was prosperous, and Song Song Yulan was enjoying the benefits, which made Qin Qin Huairu jealous.

We're all women, all from the countryside.

Why can you live a happy and fulfilling life, while I have to live as a widow and suffer for the rest of my life?

The night passed without incident.

The next day, at the first light of dawn, Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bike to the steel mill.

At the entrance of the canteen, Cao Cao Weiguo, the canteen director, and the procurement director completed another transaction.

10 chickens and 50 jin of high-quality pork.

"Cao Weiguo! You really are the best!"

The procurement director gave Cao Cao Weiguo a thumbs up.

Cao Cao Weiguo complained: "I put in a lot of effort for these things; my lips are almost worn out from talking."

The procurement director happily touched the pork: "Cao Weiguo, you've done me a huge favor this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to answer to Factory Manager Yang and would have been criticized again."

Cao Cao Weiguo asked curiously: "Do you know what guests Factory Manager Yang is entertaining? Asking for so much meat in one go."

The procurement director said: "It's not to entertain guests. Factory Manager Yang wants to reward the subordinate units that exceeded their tasks."

Cao Cao Weiguo said: "I was wondering, you can't eat that much in one meal."

After the staff finished weighing, the procurement director paid the money and coupons readily.

A total of sixty Brother Yuan and eighty jin of meat coupons.

Cao Cao Weiguo didn't really care about this little bit of money.

"Effortfully" getting these chickens and pork was entirely for the sake of the procurement director's favor.

If he really wanted to make money, he could earn more at the pigeon market.

The procurement director, having solved his problem, beamed: "Cao Weiguo, let's go to Donglaishun after work today. I'll treat you to mutton hot pot."

Cao Cao Weiguo smacked his lips: "Tsk tsk, then I'm in for a treat."

The procurement director took the chicken and pork to report.

The canteen director happily slipped into his office. ===== CHAPTER 107 =====
