Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Jia Dongxu waited until Cao Yue walked away before he angrily said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Master, you just let him go like this? That's too cowardly!"

Yi Zhonghai responded coldly: "If you are not happy, I will call him back and you two can talk it out face to face. If you are still not satisfied, beat him up. I won't care even if you beat his brains out."

Jia Dongxu: ???

"Master, we have all been bullied by Cao Yue, why are you still making sarcastic remarks!" Jia Dongxu was so frustrated that he sat down on the stool in the living room angrily.

"Since you don't dare to look for Cao Yue, this matter is over."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand in annoyance: "It's too late today, I won't keep you here, go home quickly."

"Master, if you just give me ten dollars, I won't be able to go home."

Jia Dongxu acted like a scoundrel and said, "I think I'd better stay at my master's house and hide for two days."

Yi Zhonghai stared at Jia Dongxu's eyes coldly.

Jia Dongxu didn't dare to look at him, he turned his head away, showing a pitiful look:

"Master, you know my mother's temper. If she saw that I only took ten dollars home, she would definitely come out and cry and make a scene."

"Then the whole hospital will be in turmoil, and both our families will be too embarrassed to face anyone."

Yi Zhonghai frowned, he was also troubled by Jia Zhang's throwing tantrums and even resorting to rituals to summon "Old Jia"!

After thinking for a while, he took out the money from his pocket and counted out four big black tens.

"I'll give you fifty yuan in total, which is more than one month's salary. This way you can go home and explain yourself, right?"

Jia Dongxu watched greedily as Yi Zhonghai stuffed the remaining money back into his pocket.

He still wanted to bargain, but facing Yi Zhonghai's cold face, he had no choice but to accept the price.

Jia Dongxu held the money in his hand and sighed dejectedly.

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment, then said, "Dongxu, go home and tell Huairu to let it go. Rumors will surely spread everywhere tomorrow."

Jia Dongxu asked hurriedly: "Master, are you saying that what happened tonight will be spread?"

"If it weren't for Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, it might have been possible to keep it a secret, but these two people know about this, so it's impossible to hide it."

Yi Zhonghai scolded, "You deserve this. You came here when I was treating them to a drink."

Jia Dongxu complained: "How could I have known I was so unlucky? This is all your fault, Master. Why did you invite such a nice guest?"

"How dare you put the blame on me? You are such a rebel!"

Yi Zhonghai was angry: "Do I need your approval before I can invite anyone to dinner?"

"Master, don't be angry. I was just saying it casually. Why did you take it so seriously?"

When Jia Dongxu saw that Yi Zhonghai was angry, he quickly started to speak softly.

Yi Zhonghai was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hand to tell him to go away.

Jia Dongxu said with a smug look on his face: "Master, why don't you go to the second and third uncles' homes now and tell them not to tell anyone about what happened tonight."

"It's no use!"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "Even if you use money to bribe them, this matter still cannot be concealed."

"Your second and third aunts would at most add a sentence 'You must keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else that I told you' before telling anyone else about this!"

"As a result, one person told two people, two people told four people, and within a few days, the whole world knew about it."

Jia Dongxu felt as if he had lost his parents, he knew what his master said was true.

Because that's what he usually does.

When I heard something, I couldn’t help but tell my coworkers: “I’m going to tell you something, but you must not tell anyone else, or I won’t tell you.”

As a result, this sentence became a catchphrase, as if with this nonsense, he would feel at ease telling other people and not have to keep the secret for the person involved.

of course.

Others think so too!

Jia Dongxu could already imagine that everyone in the steel mill would know about this tomorrow.

By the end of the pass, it was hard for his hat not to change color!

"Master, how about you give me some more money?"

Jia Dongxu asked cautiously.

Now only money can soothe his broken heart.

"Get out of here!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't indulge him. He had finally received some money back, so how could he pay it back?

"and many more!"

Yi Zhonghai suddenly stopped Jia Dongxu who was about to leave.

Jia Dongxu thought that he had changed his mind, so he turned around and ran to Yi Zhonghai, holding out his hand, "Master, how much more money can you give me?"

"What money?" Yi Zhonghai said coldly, "I asked you to come back to tell you to quit smoking and drinking, save more money, and don't invite your friends to eat and drink as soon as you get your salary. You are a man with a wife and children, so think more about your family."

Jia Dongxu let out a disappointed "ow" and cursed in his heart, the old man's words were nice, asking him to save money just to pay him back!

Why? !

……

As soon as Cao Yue returned to the backyard, he saw Xu Daru circling in front of his house like an ant on hot pan.

"Brother Cao."

As soon as Xu Damao saw Cao Yue, he immediately went up to him with a flattering look on his face.

"Brother Xu, you are older than me, it's not appropriate to call you that." Cao Yue said with a faint smile.

Xu Damao nodded and bowed, "It's perfect, it's perfect. From now on, you will be my real brother!"

"Brother Cao, it's inconvenient to talk outside. Please come with me. I have something important to report to you."

Cao Yue naturally knew Xu Damao's purpose and followed him home.

"Brother Cao, please take a seat."

Xu Damao helped Cao Yue sit on the sofa in the living room, with a fawning look on his face, just like Eunuch Xu serving before the emperor.

Cao Yue leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said with a half-smile:

"Brother Xu, we are all smart people, just say what you want to say."

"Brother Cao, you can just call me Damao from now on. I don't deserve the title of Brother Xu."

Xu Damao looked flattered, then smiled and said, "Brother Cao, I want to ask you a favor, do you know?"

"What's the matter?" Cao Yue pretended to be confused.

"It's that letter of repentance." Xu Damao reminded.

"Letter of repentance? Don't worry, I'll keep it in my hands. It won't be lost for sure." Cao Yue said with a smile.

"Yes, in Brother Cao's hands, it's absolutely safe."

Xu Damao said a few words to Cao Yue, then changed the subject and whispered:

"But people are always careless. What if you accidentally dropped it on the ground, and then I accidentally picked it up..."

"It can't be such a coincidence!" Cao Yue's expression was full of playfulness.

Xu Damao knew that he had to give him some benefits, so he glanced at the door and whispered:

"Brother Cao, don't worry. I, Xu Damao, am not an unreasonable person. I will definitely not forget you after the matter is accomplished."

After saying that, he rubbed three fingers together and made a gesture of counting money.

"Are you trying to bribe me with money?" Cao Yue said coldly.

"Absolutely not, this is just mutual help between us brothers."

Xu Damao knew that there was no cat in the world that didn't steal fish. Combining Cao Yue's recent behavior, he knew that he was also a money-loving person.

"Brother Cao, here are fifty yuan and some bills. Take them back and consider them as a gift to you."

Xu Damao took out the money and tickets he had prepared long ago and placed them in front of Cao Yue.

Cao Yue didn't even look at him, and said with a straight face: "Who do you think I am? Take the money back!"

Xu Damao was very good at observing people's expressions and immediately realized that the amount was too little, so he quickly took out another stack of money from his other pocket.

"Brother Cao, I'll add another hundred dollars, you must help me."

Seeing this, Cao Yue sighed and said helplessly: "Da Mao, I want to help you, but it's really difficult!"

"This kid has such a big appetite!" Xu Damao cursed in his heart.

"Brother Cao, wait a moment."

Xu Damao ran back to the room, and soon there was the sound of rummaging through drawers.

Cao Yue sat comfortably on the sofa. He must give Xu Damao a good kill today.

Xu Damao came back quickly, holding a large stack of money and bills in his hands.

Cao Yue took a quick look and saw that most of the money was in denominations of ten yuan, but there were also five yuan, two yuan, one yuan, and even Mao Zedong's bills.

It seems that Xu Damao has turned out all his family assets.

"Brother Cao, here are about two or three hundred yuan, I didn't count exactly how much, and there are some tickets, you can take them all."

Xu Damao put it in front of Cao Yue with a bitter face.

Tonight he ended up losing more than he gained!

All the money I saved over the years has been lost!

Cao Yue also knew that Xu Damao had been almost squeezed dry, so he immediately took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and before Xu Damao could react, he took out a match and lit it.

"Ouch, why did you burn it?"

Xu Damao was furious and wanted to rush forward to snatch it, but was restrained by Cao Yue with one hand. He could only watch the "letter of repentance" turn into ashes in his other hand.

Afterwards, Cao Yue clapped his hands and put the money and tickets into his pocket without hesitation.

Xu Damao watched all this with a dull look on his face.
