He brought the Deaf Old Lady and Qin Qin Huairu to persuade He He Yushui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, he was earnest and sincere; on the other, he used moral kidnapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded as if if He He Yushui didn't put in the effort, she would be ungrateful and heartless...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, He He Yushui, with red eyes, followed Yi Yi Zhonghai and Qin Qin Huairu to find Cao Cao Weiguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He He Yushui grabbed Cao Cao Weiguo's arm and begged with teary eyes: \"Brother Cao Weiguo! My brother is impulsive and reckless, but he has no bad intentions. I beg you to help him one more time, and he will definitely change in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai stood by: \"Cao Weiguo, I know you and Sha Zhuzi are at odds, but after all, you and Sha Zhuzi are neighbors who grew up in the same courtyard. You are a big person with a big heart, so help Sha Zhuzi. You don't have the heart to watch He Yushui be alone and helpless, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo didn't even look at Yi Yi Zhonghai, patted He He Yushui's hand, and comforted her: \"He Yushui, you don't have to worry. Your brother's problem this time is not serious. If it weren't for his overly bad attitude, he could have been released days ago. How about this, I’ll take you to the factory tomorrow. You persuade your brother, let him reflect seriously and make a good self-criticism. As long as he realizes his mistakes and actively admits them, I will plead with the factory leadership to strive for lenient treatment for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He He Yushui said gratefully: \"Thank you, Brother Cao Weiguo, I will definitely persuade my brother well tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo patted He He Yushui's hand: \"You and Qin Qin Huairu go home first, I have a few words to say to the First Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After He He Yushui and Qin Qin Huairu left, Cao Cao Weiguo walked outside with Yi Yi Zhonghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"First Master, I’ll tell you the truth. Although Sha Zhuzi's problem is not serious, if he wants to come out, he will inevitably have to pay a fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai was prepared and said with a gloomy face: \"Tell me, how much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"The First Master is the First Master, he knows the rules. For the sake of many years of neighborly feelings, just pay one hundred Brother Yuan to show your meaning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai: \"Good! I know, I’ll go back and prepare now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"Walk slowly, I won't see you off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai returned to the Red Star Sihe Academy, rushed to the Deaf Old Lady's room, and said through gritted teeth: \"Old Lady! Cao Cao Weiguo said that if Sha Zhuzi wants to come out, he must pay a fine of five hundred Brother Yuan. This guy is simply not a human. Isn't this taking advantage of a fire to rob!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deaf Old Lady: \"Five hundred Brother Yuan! So much! Yi Zhonghai! You have to help Sha Zhuzi! You are Sha Zhuzi's god-father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai said with a miserable face: \"Old Lady, you know, I was able to come out this time because I emptied my family wealth. I want to help Sha Zhuzi, but I can't take out a single cent. This time, I can only rely on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Deaf Old Lady: \"Then what about He He Yushui? You ask He He Yushui to pay! He He Yushui is Sha Zhuzi's own sister, she can't ignore her own brother's life or death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai said: \"Old Lady, I told He Yushui, He Yushui can pay at most fifty. She hasn't been working for long, and her daily expenses are not small, so she doesn't have much savings. Old Lady, think of a way. If there is no money, who knows how long Sha Zhuzi will be locked up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deaf Old Lady said with heartache: \"Fine, fine! I still have four hundred Brother Yuan in savings, I’ll give it all to you. There is still fifty Brother Yuan missing, you, the god-father, cannot fail to put in effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth: \"Good! I will scrape together the remaining fifty even if I have to smash the pot and sell the iron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Deaf Old Lady rummaged through a cloth bag from the cupboard and took out four hundred Brother Yuan to give to Yi Yi Zhonghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai took the money happily and left, turning around and giving one hundred Brother Yuan to Cao Cao Weiguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll go find the leader to plead for mercy tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo put the money into his pocket, and Yi Yi Zhonghai turned around and went home happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Cao Cao Weiguo brought He He Yushui to the rolling mill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While He He Yushui was persuading Sha Zhu, Cao Cao Weiguo gave the one hundred Brother Yuan to Factory Director Li without missing a cent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere one hundred Brother Yuan was a drop in the bucket for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factory Director Li put the envelope containing the money into the drawer, took out a jade Buddha pendant with a face full of smiles, and stuffed it into Cao Cao Weiguo's hand: \"Cao Weiguo, during this period, the public security in the Red Star Rolling Mill's jurisdiction has improved significantly, and the Street Office has praised you. You’ve done very well. This is my personal reward for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo recognized the origin of this jade Buddha at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly the feudal dross found from Yi Yi Zhonghai's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"Thank you for your recognition, Leader. I can have today's achievements all thanks to your cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factory Director Li nodded with a pleasant mood: \"Cao Weiguo, you handled Sha Zhu's matter very well. Since Sha Zhu has realized his mistakes, let him go home. Let him write a serious self-criticism and tell him to work hard in the future, make more contributions, and make fewer mistakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo came out of Factory Director Li's office and went straight to the detention room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, He He Yushui was already waiting at the door: \"Brother Cao Weiguo! My brother has already realized his mistakes, he is willing to actively admit his mistakes, and he is willing to obey all the punishments from the factory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo nodded: \"Very good, I will notify the Security Section to release him now. But after going back, you must persuade your brother well and let him not be so reckless in the future. Does he hit people at every turn? Who does he think he is? Does he think the law is a decoration? By the way, remember to let him write a self-criticism when he goes back. The attitude must be sincere and profound. This is to be handed over to the factory, and it cannot be done perfunctorily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He He Yushui said solemnly: \"I remember, thank you, Brother Cao Weiguo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sha Zhu was released from the Security Section and returned to the Red Star Sihe Academy, the neighbors in the courtyard covered their noses and retreated one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did this beggar come from!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So smelly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does this person look a bit familiar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He He Yushui chased from behind: \"Brother! Walk slower!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother? This is Sha Zhu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My God! This Sha Zhu has changed too much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhuzi! You’re out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing He He Yushui's shout, the residents opened their eyes in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This disheveled, stubbly-bearded, foul-smelling person was actually Sha Zhu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get out, get out, get out! Don't block my way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu shouted in shame and anger, running into the Deaf Old Lady's room with a gloomy face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Lady! I’m back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhuzi! Ugh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu rushed toward the Deaf Old Lady crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Deaf Old Lady stood up in surprise, and then was forced to dry-heave by the stench that hit her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dry-heaving and retreating to the corner of the wall, the Deaf Old Lady covered her nose and said: \"Sha Zhuzi! The smell on you is too strong! Go take a bath first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu covered his heart sadly: \"Old Lady, you dislike me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Deaf Old Lady covered her nose: \"Sha Zhuzi! Grandma doesn't dislike you! Grandma feels heartache for you! You suffered in the Security Section, taking a bath will make you feel comfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu said weakly: \"But I don't have money to take a bath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deaf Old Lady: \"There is money under my pillow, take the money and go take a bath quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu lifted the pillow, took a Brother Yuan, and ran out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Deaf Old Lady took her hand down and hurriedly opened the doors and windows to ventilate and disperse the smell.\u003C\u002Fp>",1514,"2026-06-16T08:10:16.781Z","2026-06-16T08:22:08.249Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","fba0acdca8e4c36a00c201e6de46c7555fe383c6847de6e155267c8bbfd5f77b","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-693","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-691",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
