Chapter 502: Buy TV

Yi Zhonghai also didn't think the matter could end so simply.

"Damao, I've already paid six thousand for Zhuzi's side; how do you think we can put this behind us?"

"I really wasn't human before; if you want to hit, scold, or punish me, I accept it."

"I also know the harm I've caused you is great."

"But please give me a chance to make amends."

"I know, execution by shooting would be too lenient for someone like me."

"My death wouldn't be a loss, but please, for the sake of your elder aunt's face, give me a chance."

"Your elder aunt has a bad heart and still has two young daughters to care for; if I die, what will she do?"

"Those two girls have had bad luck since childhood; they finally have a home, but if I die and your elder aunt dies, what will become of them?"

"Damao, please give me a chance."

Saying this, he kowtowed again.

Xu Damao originally still had a belly full of anger.

But after hearing that He Yuzhu had settled the matter with six thousand, he realized he had been played by He Yuzhu.

However, six thousand is really not a small amount.

He was also tempted.

Could Yi Zhonghai really come up with that much?

He too is the type who sees money and gets greedy.

Yi Zhonghai just blurted out six thousand; he had also calculated his thoughts.

Xu Damao thought, as if he himself had executed Yi Zhonghai by shooting, he couldn't change anything and wouldn't end up well.

Taking a few thousand dollars wouldn't be bad either.

But he couldn't show it.

"Impossible, don't even think about trying to avoid disaster by losing money."

He was fierce, but his tone lacked confidence.

Yi Zhonghai seized the opportunity.

"Fengxia doesn't have a job yet, does she?"

"I'll pay, you go find Factory Director Li……"

Xu Damao directly cut off his words.

"That guy is just a lecher; letting him arrange work for my wife isn't that like throwing a sheep into a tiger's den?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes shifted.

"How about this: I'll take fifteen hundred, we'll go feel out some connections, and we should be able to find a good job."

Xu Damao unknowingly fell into Yi Zhonghai's rhythm.

He thought it was not bad; the kids are older now, and Li Fengxia still has a rural household registration.

Now it's also time to think about arranging a job for his own wife.

"Fine……"

He was about to agree, but then felt something was off.

"No, I haven't forgiven you yet."

Yi Zhonghai stretched out three fingers again.

"For the harm I've caused you, I'll compensate three thousand; does that work for you?"

Xu Damao shook his head; He Yuzhu gave six thousand, you're giving me three thousand?

"What are you thinking? At least five thousand."

Yi Zhonghai began to put on a bitter face.

"I've already paid six thousand for Zhuzi's side."

"I don't have much money left; I still need to go to Yan Jiecheng's place."

"Damao, please do me a favor; otherwise I can't explain myself to Yan Jiecheng."

"If Yan Jiecheng doesn't forgive me, your elder aunt and those two girls will be pitiful……"

Xu Damao still disagreed.

"The money my wife pays for a job isn't counted in this."

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be in a difficult situation.

"Then you can't tell Yan Jiecheng about it."

Xu Damao agreed.

Getting his wife a job for free and also getting three thousand for free is fine, not bad.

As for the grudge, looking at his wife and kids at home, it's better to let it go.

Xu Damao had this settled; Yi Zhonghai soon sent over the money.

The next day he went to see Yan Jiecheng again.

Yan Jiecheng saw that Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were no longer making trouble, and he himself also lacked enthusiasm.

Mainly, after calculating, he felt receiving the money was more worthwhile.

What if we killed Yi Zhonghai—what then?

What could he gain?

It would be better to just gain some concrete benefit.

Yu Li despises him the most.

She had all her mind on the child, so she didn't bother with Yan Jiecheng's affairs.

As soon as the 3500 arrived in Yan Jiecheng's hands, she reached out and snatched it.

It was indeed the 3500, and it was the extra 500 that let Yan Jiecheng quickly forgive Yi Zhonghai.

This household is still managed by Yu Li, so the money didn't stay long in Yan Jiecheng's hands before it went into Yu Li's pocket.

Yi Zhonghai had no debts, so he was light-hearted.

The money was gone, but the person was carefree.

This might be what they mean by 'when wealth leaves, people are at ease.'

After the matter was settled, Yi Da Ma also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's steady, really much more steady.

After He Yushui got the money, she gave half to Liu Shumin.

Liu Shumin got the money, feeling happy in her heart.

She turned around and went to buy a TV.

She had wanted to buy a TV for a long time; now her wish was finally fulfilled.

He Yuzhu also didn't say much more.

Bang Geng saw that Sha Zhu's family had a TV, and he also wanted one.

He then turned his idea to Jia Zhangshi's money.

That day, Jia Zhangshi went out for a stroll, and Bang Geng entered Jia Zhangshi's room and took all the money.

That same day he carried a TV back.

He himself scalped tickets, so tickets weren't a problem.

When Jia Zhangshi came back and saw that there was an extra TV at home, she was overjoyed.

"Look at our family's Bang Geng, how impressive, he bought a TV shortly after starting work."

"Look at you all, you've worked a lifetime and still can't afford a TV."

"In the compound, upon hearing, something's off—how long has Bang Geng been working, where did his money come from?"

"Where did the tickets come from?"

These are all rare novelties.

Liu Shumin bought hers at a high price from someone else.

If Bang Geng also bought his at a high price from someone else.

Then how much money did Bang Geng spend?

"Where did his money come from?"

Their gaze toward Jia Zhangshi changed.

Jia Zhangshi sensed that the surrounding atmosphere was different.

After a while he also figured something out, and he hurried back to his own room.

"Bang Geng, you damned thing."

"Money, money, you give me back my money?"

Bang Geng was showing off the TV.

Being disturbed by Jia Zhangshi, he was no longer happy.

"Grandma, the money bought the TV—you weren't just happy a moment ago?"

"Isn't it that you'd be unhappy if our family had a TV?"

Jia Zhangshi went mad, heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe, she pointed at the TV.

"You spent all the money on a TV?"

Bang Geng said matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, I bought the best one, looks good, right?"

Jia Zhangshi lunged at Bang Geng and started hitting him.

"That's over a thousand, how dare you, the money's all spent—what are we going to eat and drink?"

"And how are you going to marry a wife?"

"You good-for-nothing…"

"My retirement money…"

"It pains me too…"

Bang Geng was scratched in the face by Jia Zhangshi, then he shoved her aside.

"It's precisely because I want to marry a wife that I need a TV—how can I marry without a TV?"

"Stop wailing, I'm working now, I can still support you."

"Hurry up and cook, don't embarrass yourself."

The people around were in an uproar.

Bang Geng is really impressive, practically filial to death…

It's not that he simply bought a TV out of spite toward Sha Zhu; rather, he befriended a classmate he liked and bought the TV to show off.

By then, seeing his family's big TV, it wouldn't be hard to win her over.

He had a lot on his mind.

One who is reluctant to spend cannot catch a wolf.

For the pretty female classmate, it was worth it.
