Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Chapter 156 The Bottom Line of Morality

He slowly picked up the tea that the old lady had already brewed and took a sip. Old lady Long smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know that you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient? I, old lady, naturally have a way. Just listen to me and tell you slowly." Old lady Long placed the priceless tea bowl on the tray beside her and looked at Yi Zhonghai with a smile.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's hairy body, she knew that this old lady was not someone to be trifled with. When her father was dying, he told him that he could get close to Old Lady Long, but he couldn't trust her completely. She only heard Old Lady Long say, "Xiao Yi, what do you think we should do if something is lost in the cafeteria and the security department finds it?"

"You will definitely lose your job, and you may even have to spend a few years in jail. Even if you have to eat peanuts, it is not impossible. After all, it is stealing public property." Yi Zhonghai said it without hesitation, but as he pondered what Mrs. Long said, his eyes lit up, then dimmed and said, "Grandma, what do you mean?"

Old lady Long grinned and said, "That's what I meant. Why do you want to pretend to be confused, you little bastard?" Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "If you do this, Shazhu will at least be fired! If he is fired then, I will have to support him. Can he still provide for me in my old age? No, I don't agree."

Yi Zhonghai wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt that this old lady was really cruel. It was simply breaking the bottom line of morality. If she really did that, Sha Zhu's life might be gone. Old Lady Long had a dark face and said unhappily, "What we want is to fire him. If we come forward and find him a job, he will be grateful to us."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and felt that this method was feasible. But he thought about it again and said, "Old lady, don't you understand? These days, there are more people than porridge. Every factory is crowded with people. Who would be willing to hire someone who was fired?"

Old lady Long chuckled and said, "I can do it, old lady. Do you think I have lived for so many years in vain? I know so many people. If I want a job, that's a sure thing." Yi Zhonghai thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find a way tomorrow. I know people in the kitchen and the security department. I'll spend some money and ask them to help me."

Anyway, with Old Lady Long backing him up, Yi Zhonghai was very happy to be the bad guy. Old Lady Long nodded with satisfaction, and the two chatted in the house for a while before Yi Zhonghai came out. When he arrived at the middle courtyard, he found that his beloved apprentice happened to walk over.

Jia Dongxu looked at his master and said, "Master, I have finally collected enough money. Can you accompany me to Sha Zhu's house? I don't want to go alone." Yi Zhonghai nodded, and the master and apprentice went to He Yuzhu's house.

In He Yuzhu's home, the couple are cuddling in the kitchen. He Yushui is reading a picture book in her little room. Qin Huairu is very satisfied with his current life. If he can live like this for the rest of his life, Qin Huairu thinks he will be very happy.

After knocking on the door, the couple reluctantly walked into the main room. Qin Huairu opened the door, and Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai walked in. Looking at Qin Huairu's pretty appearance, Jia Dongxu felt jealous. How could such a beautiful woman not be his, Jia Dongxu's, wife?

Yi Zhonghai coughed twice, and Jia Dongxu finally reacted. Looking at He Yuzhu's dark face, Jia Dongxu felt embarrassed. He Yuzhu glanced at the pile of money in Jia Dongxu's hand, and said to his wife, "Wife, go to the third uncle's house. Invite the couple to come over, and ask the third uncle to bring paper and pen."

"Hey, I'll go right away," Qin Huairu agreed, glared at Jia Dongxu fiercely, and walked out of the house with lotus steps. She looked down on Jia Dongxu, a loser, who was far worse than her own man. After seeing Qin Huairu leave, Jia Dongxu held the money in his hand, thought for a while and said, "Zhu Zi, we grew up in the same courtyard. Can you give us less? 800 yuan is really too much for our family."

He Yuzhu snorted coldly and said with disdain, "Don't you think it's too late to talk about these things at this time? You still have the nerve to say that we grew up together. What your mother did, can a neighbor living in the same courtyard do it? I, He Yuzhu, don't need the 800 yuan at all. If you don't want to pay, then don't pay. At most, I can let your mother work in the quarry for a few years, just in time to lose the fat on her body."

Jia Dongxu's face turned red and blue, and he said with a dark face, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. I'm telling you, He Yuzhu, don't go too far." He Yuzhu snorted coldly and said, "Did I go too far? It's your Jia family who went too far. If I take a step back in this matter today, anyone in the yard will be able to ride on me and shit on me."

At this time, Yan Fugui came in with a pen and paper, smiling. He knew that if he worked for Sha Zhu, he would definitely not let him work in vain. He smiled at the people in the room and said, "Hey, we are all neighbors in the courtyard. There is no need to quarrel like this. Everyone calm down, calm down."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at his apprentice, and Jia Dongxu could only sigh and put 800 yuan on the table. Yan Fugui looked at the 800 yuan and wanted to take it and run home. Qin Huairu and He Yushui also stared at him, and Xiao Yushui even said, "How much money?"

He Yuzhu snorted coldly, and Yi Zhonghai said, "Hurry up and write the letter of apology." He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Why are you panicking? I have to check the authenticity of the money. Wife of so-and-so, come here and check with me to see if the money is real." Jia Dongxu glared and said, "Shazhu, you bastard."

He Yuzhu just snorted coldly. The strong never take the threats of the weak seriously. Jia Dongxu is just a spoiled mama's boy. Even if He Yuzhu did such a thing, what can he do to me? Qin Huairu came over with a smile, and her man checked the authenticity of each photo.
