Zhang Yaoyang didn't plan to let Chen Ergou know too much. It was more suitable for him to live a heartless life.

Because they wanted to see the latest developments, the two did not plan to return to the village, but went to find Chen Ergou's second uncle.

At this time, the old man lived alone in a small dirt yard.

Every time Chen Ergou brought Zhang Yaoyang to the town to play, he would come to chat with his second uncle.

Occasionally, like today, I would come and stay here for a night.

My second uncle is a very lonely old man. He has sons and daughters, both of whom have started their own families and careers, but no one is willing to take care of him in his old age.

So, I usually stay alone in the room, and there is no one to talk to.

When Chen Ergou and the other two came, it was the happiest moment for him.

If Chen Ergou hadn't stopped him, he would have even gone to the trouble of cooking a bowl of noodles for the two of them.

In the countryside, noodles are a rare thing, and are a treat only offered when distinguished guests come to the house.

The second uncle treated Chen Hu as his own child, and Zhang Yaoyang also benefited from it.

However, Chen Ergou was really filial and he managed to stop his second uncle from going to bed. After some excuses, the two of them finally fell asleep.

However, Qingyang Town was destined to be very lively the next day.

After all, there is a particularly large vegetable market here, and many women who love gossip have eaten a lot of melons early in the morning.

The big-character posters posted by Zhang Yaoyang and the letters of accusation he wrote were transmitted from the north of the town to the south of the town in less than an hour.

Everyone in the town was talking about the old man's children.

Unfortunately, the old man's family has not realized the seriousness of the matter yet, and they are still riding their bicycles to work as usual.

As a result, the first one had not gone far when he was thrown rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.

The people around him said some very unpleasant things, pointing fingers at him and making the young man very angry.

"Get out of the way! You're delaying my work. You'll have to pay for the loss!"

"And don't even think of escaping from paying for my laundry. Pay me the full amount."

When the onlookers heard that they were asked for money, they naturally stopped staying and dispersed cursing.

But the matter did not end there. On the way to work, there were always people chirping at him. As for what they were saying, it was easy to guess, but it was definitely not good.

This man was feeling depressed and was called away by his leader as soon as he stepped into the gate of the unit.

Then, not long after, he left the unit in a daze.

After this person left, Zhang Yaoyang took out a cigarette and handed it to the security guard.

"Master, is this man sick? Why does he look so listless, as if he is dying?"

For the sake of the cigarette, the old man said to him, "Oh... this guy is finished. It is said that he has problems with his lifestyle. They are waiting for someone to investigate. If it is verified to be true, he will lose his job."

"Tsk tsk... It's a pity that a young man with a bright future would make such a mistake."

Zhang Yaoyang smiled and agreed: "Yes, it is a pity, but it is just a lifestyle issue, not a big deal, it won't cost you your job."

The old man looked around and said to Zhang Yaoyang, "Haha... I like you, young man. To be honest with you, this guy got this job because of ***'s daughter. The other party was willing to help him, so she arranged this job for him."

"Now that something like this has happened, that bastard's daughter must be extremely disappointed in him. Losing his job is a minor matter. He might even get beaten up and die!"

Zhang Yaoyang had already known that this would happen, but he still gloated over it and said, "If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. People, no matter what, you must always be kind, right, sir?"

Zhang Yaoyang threw another cigarette to the old man as money for chatting, and then hurriedly pulled Chen Ergou to the next house to continue to inquire about the news.

The natural result was that all of these people, without exception, lost their proper jobs, left their units dejectedly, and returned home.

At this time, the old man's house was probably in a gloomy mood, and the door was closed tightly.

Even so, rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even feces were thrown in from outside the wall.

It was so horrible that Zhang Yaoyang and Chen Ergou could smell the stench coming from their house from a long distance away. It was enough to make people vomit.

"Brother, it's already like this, let's go back to school now, we are late again today."

"Go ask your teacher for leave and tell him that you have a headache and need to rest. He will agree."

Zhang Yaoyang had to go home to take care of household chores and had no intention of going to school.

Considering that he just got a perfect score in the exam, I think the head teacher shouldn't make things difficult for him.

Speaking of which, Chen Ergou was not originally a student in Class 1, he should have been in Class 3.

But on the first day Zhang Yaoyang returned to school after a serious illness, he went to ask the head teacher of Class 1 and said that he would tutor Chen Ergou to catch up with the progress of the previous class. Only then did the head teacher feel moved.

Although Chen Ergou still failed the exam this time, it was a qualitative leap compared to his performance in Class Three.

People should not compare themselves with others, but with themselves.

See your own progress and shortcomings, and clearly understand what direction you need to work towards.

After Zhang Yaoyang returned to the village, he asked Chen Ergou to take Zhang Anxin to school.

He himself stayed behind, using the excuse of feeling a little dizzy.

Liu Huifang, who originally wanted to go to the market to sell seeds, was concerned about his illness and could not leave. She could only stay by his side and said with a worried look on her face: "You are still not fully recovered. You need to eat well and sleep well to recover from your illness."

"We can't even spare an extra egg for you to eat. Mom is such a useless person!"

Liu Huifang sat on the edge of the bed, wiping her tears.

Zhang Yaoyang gave her 30 yuan for tutoring these days, but because he owed too much foreign debt, he took seven or eight yuan to settle the accounts, and used the rest to buy seeds.

I only have 19 yuan in my hand right now, and the gap is still quite big.

She originally planned to carry the newly purchased seeds back to the market and sell as many as possible for money.

There will inevitably be losses in this process, and in order to raise money as quickly as possible, the goods may even be sold at a low price.

Zhang Yaoyang stroked his head and pretended to hum a few times before saying to his mother, "Mom, I just heard something about my uncle's family when I was outside."

"It is said that their family is in trouble now, so this birthday party may not be held!"

Liu Huifang was stunned on the spot, muttering to herself in disbelief.

"No, their family has lived in the town for more than ten or twenty years, nothing will happen to them, you must have heard it wrong!"
