Chapter 984: Third Uncle's coal briquettes

The Sihe Academy.

Jia Zhangshi was pulling Yan Fugui, wiping away tears and crying.

"Third Uncle, you are the most learned and reasonable person in the courtyard!"

"You must uphold justice for our Jia family!"

"That black-hearted beast Cao Weiguo is truly not a thing!"

"Not only did he harm my Banggeng and break his leg, he also extorted one hundred yuan from me!"

"That was the pension money I saved up with hard work, that was my coffin money!"

"Tell me, isn't this Cao Weiguo bullying others with his power!"

Yan Fugui held his tea mug and sat in the Jia house with a calm expression, sighing:

"Jia Zhangshi, this matter is hard to say!"

"Cao Weiguo is a bit unreasonable, but after all, you and Banggeng were in the wrong first."

"If it really goes to the police station, neither of you will end well."

"If you want to recover some losses, you can only start from within the courtyard."

"Isn't your family on good terms with Old Yi? Why don't you go find Old Yi for help?"

Isn't this asking what he already knows?

Jia Zhangshi cursed Yi Zhonghai so badly, could they still be on good terms?

Although Jia Zhangshi was unreasonable, she had some self-awareness.

She couldn't bring herself to find Yi Zhonghai in the short term, which is why she dragged Yan Fugui to the Jia house.

She had offended Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Haizhong, that official-crazy, was flattering Cao Weiguo.

Of the three managing uncles, only Yan Fugui was left to be won over.

Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth and said: "Old Yan! Aren't you looking for people to sell coal everywhere? If you can help me get that one hundred yuan back, I'll buy ten yuan of coal briquettes from you!"

Yan Fugui's eyes lit up instantly: "Is this true?"

Jia Zhangshi nodded with a bitter expression: "True!"

Yan Fugui pushed his glasses: "Reasonably speaking, it's normal for Cao Weiguo to ask for compensation, but from a human perspective, Cao Weiguo is in the wrong. Although Banggeng was wrong, he is ultimately a child, and he broke his leg at his house. Based on the tradition of neighborhood friendship and respecting the old and loving the young, Cao Weiguo should pay some medical expenses."

(Continued from above)

Jia Zhangshi clapped her hands and shouted: "Exactly! That's why I say Third Uncle is the most reasonable! The First Uncle and Second Uncle are all nonsense!"

Yan Fugui waved his hand with a smile: "Can't say that, Old Yi and Old Liu have too much selfishness, but their hearts are still good."

Jia Zhangshi said urgently: "Old Yan! Then hurry to the Cao house and let Cao Weiguo pay for Banggeng's medical expenses."

Yan Fugui said with a smile: "This matter can't be rushed. Cao Weiguo is currently in a fit of anger, so even if I go, it will be in vain. I'll wait until he calms down in a few days, then I can persuade him to pay more attention to maintaining neighborhood relations."

Jia Zhangshi pulled a long face in disappointment: "Still have to wait a few days?"

Yan Fugui rubbed his hands: "Jia Zhangshi, it's quite cold in your room, why don't you buy some coal briquettes to burn first."

Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth: "Then I'll buy one yuan worth first!"

Yan Fugui said: "How many coal briquettes can one yuan buy? Your house is so cold, you need to buy eight or ten to get warm. Besides, Banggeng has to heal in the room, don't let him catch a cold before his leg is even better."

Jia Zhangshi hardened her heart; if you don't risk the child, you won't catch the wolf. Just treat it as feeding money to a dog!

She turned to look at Qin Huairu, who had been acting like a mute: "Go get five yuan for the Third Uncle, our family should buy some coal."

Qin Huairu had heard a bit about the Yan family's coal; it was said that there was no coal in the briquettes, only dirt.

Go buy Yan Fugui's coal? Isn't that being a sucker?

"Mom! Come here for a second!"

"There's only dirt in the Yan family's coal, it can't be burned. We can't be fooled."

Qin Huairu pulled Jia Zhangshi aside and whispered to persuade her.

Jia Zhangshi said: "If you don't risk the child, you won't catch the wolf. If I don't give Old Yan some sweetness, how will he help our family? Besides, how much dirt can there be in one coal briquette? Just make do with burning it. Once Cao Weiguo pays the money, will our family lack money to buy coal?"

Qin Huairu whispered: "I have no money."

Jia Zhangshi glared with her triangular eyes: "Qin Huairu, don't force me to slap you! If you don't want to live a good life, just say so."

Qin Huairu had no choice; for the sake of the family's peace, she took five yuan out of the wardrobe with hatred.

Jia Zhangshi snatched it and handed it to Yan Fugui with a smile:

"Old Yan, please have your sons pull the coal over."

Yan Fugui took the money with joy: "Easy, easy!"

Jia Zhangshi grabbed Yan Fugui's arm: "Old Yan! You must put more effort into my family's business! Don't let my family bleed and cry."

Yan Fugui said with a smile: "Easy, easy! In two days, when Cao Weiguo's anger subsides, I'll go help your family ask for medical expenses."

Carrying Jia Zhangshi's earnest expectations, Yan Fugui returned home happily.

He ordered the Yan brothers to borrow a handcart and pushed two carts of coal briquettes to Jia Zhangshi.

The Third Aunt said worriedly: "Old Yan, is this matter too risky? That Jia Zhangshi is not someone who can suffer a loss. If you can't help Banggeng get the medical expenses, won't Jia Zhangshi turn against you and make trouble?"

Yan Fugui said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's fine. I only said I would help Banggeng ask for medical expenses, but I didn't say how much Cao Weiguo would pay. As long as Cao Weiguo pays the medical expenses, no matter how much, I haven't broken my promise. Then what reason does Jia Zhangshi have to make trouble? If she dares to make trouble, I'll let her know how powerful the Third Uncle is!"

The Third Aunt said: "Can Cao Weiguo's temper give Banggeng medical expenses?"

Yan Fugui said with confidence: "Cao Weiguo is not an ordinary person; he is a leader at the rolling mill. Leaders all love their feathers and care about their reputation and public opinion. I'm asking him to pay some medical expenses, which is also good for his reputation. Otherwise, if the matter of bullying orphans and widows spreads, how can he continue to be a leader? Cao Weiguo is a smart person, he won't lose the watermelon because of a sesame seed."

Yan Fugui's abacus was well-calculated, and the Third Aunt also thought this made sense.

The Yan brothers delivered the coal briquettes to the Jia house, and Jia Zhangshi felt a burst of stuffiness when she saw the yellowish coal briquettes.

This Old Yan is a complete and utter unscrupulous merchant!

This is a coal briquette?

This is dirt!

Old Yan, you're something! ===== CHAPTER 986 =====
