Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Cai had no psychological burden at all in fooling the second uncle.

He deceived the second uncle, which could be regarded as positive guidance, making him do less stupid things.

Yi Zhonghai was not like this before. He treated the second uncle as his vanguard and let the second uncle take the lead in doing all kinds of immoral things.

In the end, he got the good reputation, and the second uncle was just a tool to take the blame.

"Old Cai, you are wise. Let's do as you say."

"By the way, Lao Cai, have you talked to Lao Yan about this?"

After the second uncle agreed, he suddenly changed the subject.

If we were to say who could pose the greatest threat to his position as the second uncle in the courtyard, it would have to be the third uncle.

Therefore, the second uncle is very wary of the third uncle.

"No, you are the second uncle in the hospital. I must consult you first for this important matter."

"After I've made an agreement with you, I'll go find Old Yan. It's a few small matters, and I hope he can help me out when the time comes."

Cai Quanwu praised the second uncle very highly, and he felt so proud when he heard it, with a constant smile on his face.

I thought to myself, Mr. Cai is still the best person to talk to.

He goes to his second uncle for big matters and to his third uncle for small matters. What does this mean?

This shows that his second uncle is able to handle big things in the courtyard, while the third uncle can only take care of small matters.

"Okay, Lao Cai, it's settled. After dinner, I'll go door to door to inform them. It won't delay anything."

After receiving Cai Quanwu's praise, the second uncle smiled and made a promise to Cai Quanwu.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Lao Liu. I'm leaving now."

"I have to go to Old Yan's house again. I wonder if he has come back from fishing."

Cai Quanwu said goodbye and the second uncle stood up to see him off.

When Cai Quanwu was about to leave, the second uncle suddenly said:

"Old Yan doesn't care about anything in the yard all day long. He just thinks about fishing. I'll have to criticize him later."

As soon as Cai Quanwu heard it, he knew that the second uncle was trying to flatter the third uncle.

However, it was difficult to respond to this, so Cai Quanwu just smiled, said nothing, and left with He Yushui.

The second uncle was very dissatisfied when he saw that Cai Quanwu didn't say anything.

But Cai Quanwu didn't go far, so he was so angry that he had to turn around and go home.

Cai Quanwu took He Yushui directly through the middle courtyard and went to the front yard to find the third uncle.

"Uncle, I'm going out to play."

As soon as they entered the front yard, He Yushui and Cai Quanwu greeted each other and ran directly out of the courtyard.

After He Yushui ran away, Cai Quanwu came to his senses and saw the third uncle sorting out fishing tools at the door of his house.

As expected of a fisherman, he would organize his fishing gear every time he came back from fishing. Amateur fishermen like him could not compare with him.

"Old Yan, how was the harvest today?" Cai Quanwu asked with a smile as he approached.

When the third uncle saw Cai Quanwu coming, his eyes rolled and he started to make plans in his mind.

He caught a lot of fish today, but not many big ones, most of them were small fish.

When he went to the market, the bigger fish were sold, and no one wanted the remaining small fish, so he brought them back.

I was just thinking of catching a few of these miscellaneous fish to make soup in the evening, and then rub some salt on the rest and dry them into dried fish.

Now that he saw Cai Quanwu, he changed his mind and thought about selling these miscellaneous fish to him.

Last time, Cai Quanwu bought some miscellaneous fish from him.

"It's a good harvest. I'll take it out for you to see."

The third uncle had an idea in his mind. He immediately put down the fishing gear he had prepared and went into the house excitedly.

Cai Quanwu had no idea that the third uncle was planning something. He was stunned for a moment as he watched the third uncle hurriedly running home.

He was just asking politely, but he didn't expect the third uncle to be so polite and insist on taking it out and showing it to him.

He wondered if the third uncle wanted to show off in front of him.

This is a common problem among anglers.

I haven’t seen the popularity of short videos in later generations. Whether you are a human or a ghost, you have to show off when you catch a fish.

Just as he was thinking about it, the third uncle came out of the house carrying a fish bucket and put the bucket in front of Cai Quanwu.

"Quanwu, look at this fish, it's no worse than the ones I sold you last time." The third uncle praised the fish in the bucket.

"It's good."

Cai Quanwu glanced into the bucket, then looked away and said something perfunctory.

There were some small fish in the bucket, and Cai Quanming praised them as a matter of routine.

"That must be good. I can still deceive you. It will definitely be better than last time."

Hearing the third uncle repeatedly emphasizing the last time, Cai Quan was unable to figure out anything from his words.

I understood why the third uncle ran into the house to get the fish as soon as he arrived.

The fish is no worse than last time, which means it is better than last time. This sentence has many meanings.

What did Tsai Quan-wu do last time?

Last time, Cai Quanwu bought fish from Uncle Sanda.

So this time is better than last time, so you should buy it more.

The third uncle is trying to sell the fish to him in a roundabout way.

He is indeed an expert at calculating. The abacus makes a really loud noise.

He wanted to make him the scapegoat for the fish that couldn't be sold.

It’s a pity that Cai Quanwu came to discuss serious matters with the third uncle this time and didn’t think about buying fish. I’m afraid he will disappoint the third uncle.

So Cai Quanwu pretended to be ignorant and said with envy:

"Old Yan, you are in for a treat."

"Such a good fish, half of it braised, half of it stewed in soup, and paired with two taels of wine, it will be delicious."

When the third uncle heard what Cai Quanwu said, he felt confused.

How could this be?

The tone of the conversation is wrong!

Shouldn't he have said, "I want this fish?"

But the third uncle did not give up. After he reacted, he cautiously tried:

"Old Cai, do you have any idea about this fish?"

"I don't have any idea. Ever since the old lady fell down due to a fish bone stuck in her throat last time, I have lost any interest in eating fish." Cai Quanwu shook his head and refused directly.

In order to gain the trust of the third uncle, he even brought up the deaf old lady as an example.

When the third uncle heard this, he was speechless. He didn't expect Cai Quanwu to be so cowardly.

The old lady fell down and didn't even eat the fish.

If Cai Quanwu hadn't brought up the deaf old lady, he could have still been shameless enough to try and trick Cai Quanwu into buying it.

But since he brought up the deaf old lady, it was difficult for the third uncle to ask anyone to buy fish.

Now that people have talked about the incident with the deaf old lady, they won’t eat fish anymore.

If you still persuade people to buy fish, and something goes wrong in the end, who will be responsible?

"Lao Cai, if you don't have any ideas, I'll take it home."

The fish couldn't be sold, and the uncle lost his previous enthusiasm. His tone instantly became cold and he prepared to go home with the bucket.

"Old Yan, wait a minute, I have something to talk to you about." Cai Quanwu said something to dissuade the third uncle from going home.

"What's the matter?" The third uncle was not in a good mood and asked casually.

"Zhu Zi is going to hold a banquet on this day off. Old Yan, please help keep the accounts then."

Cai Quanwu did not beat around the bush with the third uncle and directly stated his purpose.

When he heard that Cai Quanwu came to him about Sha Zhu's wedding, the third uncle's expression immediately changed and he smiled.

This is his specialty. He is the one who keeps the accounts for everyone in the hospital.

Putting down the fish bucket in his hand, the third uncle said hesitantly:

"Lao Cai, this is a good thing. I have no problem here, but..."

The third uncle didn't finish his words, but Cai Quan was unable to understand what he meant.

You just want a kickback.

Originally, we didn't have to ask Uncle Three to do the accounting. Any one of Lao Qian, Brother Wang, or the others could do it.

But we all live in the same courtyard, and everyone else is looking for the third uncle, but your family doesn't. Isn't that a slap in the face?

Cai Quan had no choice but to do such things that would blatantly offend people.

"Old Yan, I won't let you work in vain. Let's follow the rules." Cai Quanwu didn't waste time talking to the third uncle and made things clear directly.

He doesn't care about that. As long as he can get the job done, it's fine. It's just a small matter.

"Got it."

"Old Cai, please rest assured and leave this matter to me. I promise to remember it clearly for you."

When the third uncle heard Cai Quanwu's promise, he patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"Okay, Old Yan, let's make it a deal. You're busy, I'm going back."

After settling the matter with the Third Uncle, Cai Quanwu was too lazy to say anything more and turned away.
