Chapter 736

~5 min read 931 words

"Ding! Weekly check-in successful!"

"Obtained Intermediate Electrical Engineering Skills!"

The heavenly sound rang out quietly, and Cao Weiguo's eyes lit up.

With the increase in check-ins, the skills he obtained were becoming more and more numerous.

Culinary skills, fishing skills, martial arts, carpentry skills, language skills, pottery skills, electrical engineering skills...

However, having more skills wouldn't weigh him down; knowing more was never a bad thing.

Suddenly, cries of "Oh!" rang out in the courtyard.

It turned out the injured Deaf Old Lady had returned.

The Deaf Old Lady wasn't seriously injured; she mainly needed to take medicine and rest quietly.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want the Deaf Old Lady to stay in the hospital, as it was a waste of money and troublesome.

He talked to the doctor and brought the Deaf Old Lady back that same day.

Yi Zhonghai pulled the flatbed cart, with the First Aunt, Shazhu, and several neighbors following alongside.

One by one, they were asking after the Deaf Old Lady, as if they were all filial children and grandchildren.

In reality, after the Deaf Old Lady fell and was injured, these people had all hidden far away.

It was the Second Aunt who went to the middle courtyard to call Yi Zhonghai.

If it weren't for the Second Aunt being meddlesome, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have wanted to bother.

He had thought about letting Shazhu handle it, but Shazhu happened to be out.

There was no other way; this "good son" of hers had to bite the bullet.

Not to mention the effort he put in that day, he also spent quite a bit on medical expenses.

Now that the Deaf Old Lady was back, these people all gathered around to curry favor.

Shazhu diligently carried the Deaf Old Lady back to her room.

The First Aunt was in the room making the bed and tidying up.

Yi Zhonghai poured a cup of cold boiled water for the Deaf Old Lady to take her medicine.

The Deaf Old Lady lay on the bed, crying out in pain.

It wasn't until she drank the medicine that she quieted down.

After serving the Deaf Old Lady until she fell asleep,

Shazhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and left.

Outside, he talked to Yi Zhonghai about Yan Jiecheng's matter.

Learning that Yan Jiecheng was getting married again,

And that the woman was a relative of Director Ma from the grain station,

Yi Zhonghai felt as if he had eaten a lemon.

Although his salary was high, he had no children.

He was full of envy for Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong, who had children surrounding them.

He didn't like either of these two people.

But they had descendants!

Every time he saw Liu Haizhong beating Liu Guangtian,

Every time he saw Yan Fugui teaching Yan Jiecheng a lesson,

Yi Zhonghai felt uncomfortable in his heart.

If only he could have a son, how good that would be.

He would definitely be able to cultivate his son into a talent.

Having a son to support him in his old age,

Why would he need to rack his brains to win over Shazhu?

And why would he need to swallow his pride everywhere?

Not having a son was his greatest pain!

"First Uncle!"

"Yan Laoxi has already handed the banquet matter to me."

"I want to add some equipment."

"But I'm a bit short on money."

"Could you support me a little first?"

"I'll pay you back once I earn money."

Shazhu rubbed his hands and said with a silly smile.

Hearing that Shazhu wanted to borrow money again,

Yi Zhonghai felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Did this Shazhu think he was running a mint?

His money didn't come from a strong wind either.

Borrowing today, borrowing tomorrow, borrowing the day after...

His family fortune would be emptied sooner or later!

Yi Zhonghai asked kindly: "How much money do you need to add equipment?"

Shazhu smiled foolishly: "Not much, just three yuan."

Yi Zhonghai asked: "Then how much are you short?"

Shazhu scratched the back of his head: "Short three yuan!"

"I % # @... &!"

Yi Zhonghai felt a burst of spraying in his heart.

You damn bastard!

You call this being short on money?

You damn bastard have no money at all!

Yi Zhonghai sighed gloomily:

"Didn't you do a few jobs recently?"

"How come you don't have a single cent in your pocket?"

Shazhu said with a smile: "I originally had a few yuan in my pocket."

"But the Jia family ran out of food, and the money was borrowed by Grandma Zhang to buy grain."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Shazhu as if he were an idiot.

The Jia family ran out of food?

Are you blind?

Didn't you see the white flour buns at the Jia house every few days?

And Qin Huairu has always been the one buying grain and vegetables for the Jia family.

When has Jia Zhangshi ever managed grain or bought grain?

You even believe her when she uses this as an excuse to borrow money?

This money definitely went into Jia Zhangshi's pocket.

It became Jia Zhangshi's retirement money.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to teach Shazhu a lesson.

But once he thought of Qin Huairu,

And then thought of Shazhu's brain,

Forget it!

Teaching Shazhu a lesson is like playing the lute to a pig.

"Zhuzi!"

"I just paid the medical expenses for the Deaf Old Lady."

"I don't have much money on hand either."

"Take this one yuan and fifty cents."

"See how much equipment you can add with that first."
