Chapter 679

~5 min read 817 words

Cao Weiguo leaned in and said with a smile:

"Wife!"

"I'll take you for a ride on the weekend!"

"I'll put a soft little stool on it!"

"It's much more comfortable than sitting on a bicycle."

Xu Damao walked over and examined the tricycle:

"Brother Weiguo!"

"This vehicle of yours is really nice."

"This cargo bed must be able to hold quite a lot."

"When can you lend it to me?"

Cao Weiguo smiled heartily: "Easy, easy."

"But Brother Damao, with your financial resources,"

"buying a tricycle should be a breeze."

Xu Damao forced a smile:

"I have plenty of money, but these vehicle coupons are really hard to get."

He had been spending money lavishly lately.

Meeting his old lover every few days.

Flirting with young girls in the countryside.

And he had spent quite a bit of money pursuing Qin Jingru.

The savings at home were dwindling like water.

Even a landlord's family has no surplus grain now!

No!

I have to find a way to make money!

He didn't want to live a life of tightening his belt.

Middle Courtyard

Yi Zhonghai came out to wash vegetables with a black face.

Shazhu wagged his tail and went up to him:

"This Cao Weiguo is really not a decent person!"

"Look at how rich he is!"

"He only cares about his own enjoyment and doesn't know how to help his neighbors."

Jia Zhangshi said sarcastically from the side:

"That brat Cao Weiguo is buying sewing machines, bicycles, and radios."

"And now he's bought a tricycle."

"Who knows where he got the money and coupons!"

"Could it be from speculation and profiteering!"

Shazhu's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly in agreement:

"Auntie Zhang makes a good point!"

"This Cao Weiguo must have done something shady!"

"Otherwise, where would he get so much money and coupons!"

Jia Zhangshi narrowed her triangular eyes and said with a sinister smile:

"Old Yi, although you're not the Eldest Uncle anymore, you can't condone illegal activities."

"If you go and report Cao Weiguo now,"

"and help the neighborhood office catch a bad element involved in speculation,"

"the neighborhood office might just restore your position as the managing uncle."

Jia Zhangshi wanted to incite Yi Zhonghai to come forward and report Cao Weiguo.

But what level is she?

What level is Yi Zhonghai?

Yi Zhonghai has more tricks up his sleeve than a hornet's nest.

Jia Zhangshi trying to play tricks on Yi Zhonghai

is no different from brandishing a broadsword in front of Guan Gong!

Yi Zhonghai said with a desolate expression: "Forget it, forget it!"

"I'm just an ordinary resident now."

"And all the neighbors know that I'm not on good terms with Cao Weiguo."

"If I go to report Cao Weiguo, people won't believe me."

"They might even think I'm retaliating."

Jia Zhangshi looked at Yi Zhonghai with disdain.

She thought this old man Yi was truly finished.

"Look at you, where is your former glory?"

"You're just a wilted eggplant."

Jia Zhangshi mocked him and turned back into the room.

Shazhu also looked at Yi Zhonghai with disappointment:

"Eldest Uncle, why have you become so timid?"

"This is not like you at all!"

"You used to be someone who hated evil with a passion!"

"Why are you cowering like an old rat now?"

Yi Zhonghai said earnestly: "Zhuzi, you don't understand."

"It's useless for Jia Zhangshi to ask me to report Cao Weiguo."

"Cao Weiguo is a favorite at the steel rolling mill."

"Vehicle coupons are hard to come by for us."

"But for Cao Weiguo, they're nothing."

"Furthermore, Cao Weiguo's monthly salary is over a hundred yuan."

"He really isn't short of money to buy a vehicle."

"Unless you catch him red-handed, it's useless."

"Not only is it useless, but it will also alert the enemy."

Shazhu cursed indignantly:

"Why doesn't the Heavens send down a bolt of lightning to strike this villain dead!"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "Forget about Cao Weiguo, let's talk about your business."

"Did you find any work in the countryside?"

Shazhu raised his head triumphantly to show off:

"When I go out, one of me is worth two!"

"As soon as I got to the countryside, people were fighting to hire me as the chef."

"Uncle Yi, just you wait and see!"

"I will definitely do better and be richer than Cao Weiguo!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled kindly: "Good, good, good! I knew Zhuzi was promising!"

Shazhu talked big, but Yi Zhonghai didn't think much of it.

He, as a surrogate father, knew exactly how much Shazhu was worth better than his real father.

Shazhu cares about face and talks a big game.

But the reality is like drinking water; you know whether it's hot or cold yourself!

After bragging for a while, Shazhu left the Sihe Academy.

He went to find Ma Hua, wanting Ma Hua to be his assistant.
