Where is this car from? It’s really impressive. You didn't buy it, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said: \"Second Aunt, you think too highly of me. How would I have that ability? This car belongs to the factory. The factory director saw that I often go to the countryside to procure supplies and that I waste too much time on the road, so he assigned this car to me for transportation. I just received the car and am driving it out to practice and get familiar with the vehicle’s condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the factory director assigned you a car! Cao Weiguo, you really have a future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Weiguo, can I touch this car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Cao Weiguo, I want to get in and sit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of a leader, this treatment is just different!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at Cao Cao Weiguo, he’s only in his twenties and already sitting in a car!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhu, when will you drive a car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhu, you’re just sour grapes. The origin of this car is legitimate; you can't find any fault with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhu, stop glaring. I’m afraid you don't have the fate to drive a car in this life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Cao Cao Weiguo’s words, the neighbors’ eyes lit up, and they scrambled to crowd around the jeep, touching it here and knocking it there, feeling both curious and envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was mocked by several young people, trembling with anger, clenching his fists and wanting to beat someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng and the other children stood at the gate, staring at the jeep with glowing eyes, their mouths almost watering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Fei ran to the car: \"Uncle Cao Weiguo, I want to sit in the car. I’ve never sat in a car before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo turned off the engine, pulled out the keys, opened the door, and got out: \"Sure, I’ll carry you up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Cao Weiguo, I can get up by myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Fei couldn't wait to climb in, sitting in the driver’s seat and feeling incredibly happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Cao Weiguo, I want to sit in the car too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Cao Weiguo, let me sit too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Cao Weiguo, you’re the best, let me sit in the car too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of children looked at Lu Fei with envy, one after another pestering Cao Cao Weiguo to let them sit in the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"One by one, one by one, everyone can sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children happily blocked the car door, urging Lu Fei to get down quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the children get in and out one by one, the adults all wished they could line up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Third Aunt took a different approach, dragging Third Master down and sitting in the passenger seat herself, feeling very pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move aside, I want to sit in the car too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng squeezed in hurriedly, reaching out to push a child away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child naturally wouldn't have it, blocking the way: \"I’ve been in line for a long time. If you want to sit in the car, go to the back of the line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng grabbed the child’s collar: \"Li Chuan, are you looking for a beating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man walked over and slapped Bang Geng on the back of the head: \"Little thief, who are you trying to beat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child named Li Chuan shouted: \"Brother! Bang Geng bullied me and wanted to beat me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng covered his head and retreated: \"Li He, you dare to hit me? I’ll tell my foster grandfather. You just wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li He gave Bang Geng a kick: \"You’re bullying people and you think you’re in the right? You deserve a beating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng was kicked to the ground, wailing at the top of his lungs: \"Wuwuwu! Li He is bullying people! Wuwuwu! Li He is bullying people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu, whose right hand had already had the cast removed, walked over aggressively: \"Li He, do you have any shame? You’re so old and you’re bullying a child!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li He wasn't very old but had plenty of nerve. He rolled up his sleeves and sneered: \"What’s it to you! Trying to stand up for your foster son? Sha Zhu, you stupid and crippled old geezer! Do you think I’m afraid of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, you’re looking for a beating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Sha Zhu’s explosive temper tolerate this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand to slap Li He, but he forgot that his right arm hadn't fully healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li He swung his arm and collided with him, causing Sha Zhu to cry out in pain, followed by a kick to his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li He, stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Sha Zhu kicked to the ground, First Aunt rushed out, shouting anxiously: \"If you have something to say, say it properly. How can you hit someone? Don't you know Zhu is still injured? If you break Zhu, are you going to support him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li He said righteously: \"First Aunt, if your eyesight is bad, you can ask the neighbors present who started it. This is self-defense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Aunt: \"Self-defense doesn't mean you can use such heavy hands. Tell me, you’re all neighbors in the same courtyard; how could you have the heart to use such heavy hands?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo sneered: \"First Aunt, that’s enough from you. How did you learn to be so unlike a person from Yi Yi Zhonghai? You only allow Sha Zhu to hit people, but don't allow others to fight back? Besides, Li He’s counterattack wasn't heavy. When Sha Zhu hit Xu Damou before, that was heavy. Xu Damou was beaten so badly he couldn't have children. Why don't you talk about that? I advise you to stop learning from Yi Yi Zhonghai. He’s not a person; do you not want to be a person either?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Aunt trembled with anger. Third Aunt got out of the car and persuaded: \"Stop talking, everyone stop talking. We’re all neighbors. We were just happy a moment ago; there’s no need to make such a scene. Take Sha Zhu back quickly. Everyone saw what happened. Li He was in the wrong in some places, but Sha Zhu isn't in the right either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Aunt helped up Sha Zhu, who was clutching his stomach: \"Zhu, let’s go home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu glared at Li He hatefully, and naturally, he didn't forget Cao Cao Weiguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the children had ridden in the car, Cao Cao Weiguo got in, started the engine, and drove away under Bang Geng’s hateful gaze. That gaze was so fierce it didn't look like a teenager’s at all, but rather like a wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>",1105,"2026-06-16T08:10:16.781Z","2026-06-16T08:22:08.249Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","911c91d96c293a3c48251e40ed8f47e0096d317c6a4c45eea2bf572b51d89752","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-708","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-706",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
