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

Lou Xiao'e glared at Sha Zhu's back in embarrassment and anger, wishing she could go up and take a bite of him.

The issue of men and women was still a taboo even in the era when Cao Yue lived later, not to mention the 1960s when people paid great attention to reputation.

Cao Yue wanted to say a few words of comfort, but Lou Xiao'e was worried about causing more rumors, so she didn't dare to talk to him and fled out of the backyard.

"That bastard Shazhu will suffer his fate sooner or later."

Cao Yue believes in 'I won't offend others unless they offend me'. If Sha Zhu didn't take the initiative to provoke him, Cao Yue wouldn't bother to pay attention to that lickspittle.

but.

Since Sha Zhu took the initiative to cause trouble, as a member of the security department, I have plenty of opportunities to deal with him.

Cao Yue returned home carrying the bag of flour. After closing the door, he put the ten kilograms of flour into the space so that he could take it whenever he wanted.

……

In the middle courtyard, the grandpa’s house.

Jia Dongxu wanted to borrow money from his master, but Yi Zhonghai happened to be out for something, leaving only an old lady at home.

When an old lady asked him what was the matter, Jia Dongxu didn't say anything and just said he would talk about it after his master came back.

Twenty minutes later.

Yi Zhonghai came back from outside and walked into the kitchen carrying a bag.

Seeing this, the aunt ran over and whispered:

"Old Yi, Dongxu came to see you. He looked like he had something urgent to do. I asked him what it was, but he wouldn't tell me."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and was about to say something when Jia Dongxu, who heard the noise, ran over.

"Master, you are finally back."

Seeing his dejected look, Yi Zhonghai knew that this kid had caused trouble again and sighed in his heart.

It’s really worrying!

"Tell me what's going on."

Yi Zhonghai took Jia Dongxu out of the kitchen, sat on a chair, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu took it and sat opposite Yi Zhonghai, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yi Zhonghai said unhappily: "Speak, you are mute!"

"Master, you must help me this time, otherwise I'm afraid I'm doomed."

Then, Jia Dongxu finally explained his purpose.

"Master, can you lend me three hundred dollars first?"

“Three hundred dollars!!”

Upon hearing this number, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were shocked.

"Why are you borrowing so much money?"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished asking, he suddenly thought of something and his face turned pale. He asked sternly:

"Dongxu, tell me the truth, are you itching to gamble again?"

"No, absolutely not."

Jia Dongxu hurriedly denied it.

"is it?"

Yi Zhonghai stared into his eyes, obviously not believing what his apprentice said.

Jia Dongxu has a lot of bad habits. Even now that the investigation is strict, he still dares to gamble secretly. I have advised and scolded him, but Jia Dongxu has turned a deaf ear to him.

"Master, I swear, this is not the case!"

Jia Dongxu could only raise his hand and swear.

Yi Zhonghai frowned even more: "Since you didn't lose the bet, then why did you borrow three hundred yuan?"

"I……"

Jia Dongxu hesitated, knowing that if he didn't tell the truth, his master would not lend him money.

He gritted his teeth and briefly explained the matter.

"You are confused!"

Yi Zhonghai pointed at Jia Dongxu and scolded:

"How many times have I told you not to bully Cao Yue, but you just wouldn't listen, and now something bad has happened."

"Master, it's too late to say this now. Su Rong said that if I can't come up with 300 yuan, she will sue me."

Jia Dongxu pleaded, "Master, you must help me. Otherwise, if the higher-ups find out, I'm afraid I'll lose my job. You know, so many mouths at home depend on me for food. If I lose my job, my whole family will starve to death."

"You deserve it. Who told you to be so incompetent?"

In the past two months, Jia Dongxu and Cao Yue have been eating and drinking together all day long. Yi Zhonghai has tried to persuade them several times, but Jia Dongxu thinks he has Cao Yue under control and is not afraid.

And under his instigation, Cao Yue was about to break off his relationship with Su Rong.

Without Su Rong's intervention, Cao Yue was willing to be drained of his blood, and no one else could care about what happened between them.

"Master, I know I was wrong."

Jia Dongxu was now also afraid. He hung his head dejectedly and looked spiritless.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to curse him a few more times, but seeing his ugly face, he shook his head and said:

"If this matter is reported to the factory, I can still speak a few words for you in front of the factory director based on my reputation."

"I'm afraid Su Rong will report it to the higher-ups, and then I won't be able to do anything."

Jia Dongxu smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I'm just afraid that she will report it to the higher-ups. Cao Yue said that Su Rong is going to find her father's former boss and comrade-in-arms and sue me for bullying the orphans of martyrs. It's such a serious crime, how can my small body withstand it?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned, then pinched his brows and said:

"It seems you can only pay back the money this time."

Jia Dongxu hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, lend me three hundred yuan, and I promise to pay you back a little every month in the future..."

"Wait a minute, don't you have any money?"

Yi Zhonghai felt unhappy when he heard Jia Dongxu's suggestion that he should pay all the 300 yuan.

Jia Dongxu said nicely that he would pay back a little every month. Yi Zhonghai had watched Jia Dongxu grow up since he was a child and knew the character of his own apprentice. In addition, there was also Jia Zhang who was meddling in the matter, so it was impossible for him to pay back the money.

Jia Zhang is like a Pixiu, she only eats and doesn’t poop!

Jia Dongxu laughed dryly and said, "Master, I don't have any money."

Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "You don't have a penny on you?"

"Then tell me in detail how you squandered all the three hundred dollars in just two months!"

Jia Dongxu's eyes wandered when he heard this, and he explained in a low voice:

"Master, you know my family is large and our salary is low. My mother had a serious illness a few years ago, which cost a lot of money. In addition, Huairu's parents live in the countryside, so we have to give them some money during the holidays. For this reason, I have borrowed a lot of money from others in the past few years... Most of the money I borrowed from Cao Yue was used to repay foreign debts."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale and blue, and he didn't believe a word of Jia Dongxu's explanation.

Two years ago, when Mrs. Jia Zhang fell ill, he deliberately used his authority as an uncle to mobilize the entire hospital to donate money to the Jia family. In order to take the lead, he took a full 20 yuan.

There are more than 20 households in the hospital, and they donated a total of more than 50 yuan.

Jia Zhang's illness only cost her more than 30 yuan, and she had 20 yuan left.

After being discharged from the hospital, Jia Dongxu did not return the remaining money to the people in the hospital, but secretly kept it for himself.

In other words, Jia Zhang didn't spend a penny on her illness, but instead earned twenty yuan.

Yi Zhonghai felt aggrieved just thinking about it.

Now, Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu and felt no embarrassment at all. Instead, he thought it was natural for him to give him money, and he suddenly felt regretful.

Choosing Jia Dongxu as the person to take care of my retirement may be a wrong decision.

But it has come to this point, and he has paid so much over the years, just like a gambler who has lost his mind and is still hoping for a lucky break.

Moreover, Jia Dongxu is the most suitable candidate for the entire courtyard.

But from now on, Yi Zhonghai decided to look for alternatives.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai already had a backup candidate, and that was Sha Zhu.

It’s just that because He Daqing is still alive, he didn’t consider him as the first choice.

"Master, master..."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was in a daze at this time, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but call out twice.

Yi Zhonghai came back to his senses, looked at the lady, and said in a deep voice: "Go and get three hundred yuan."

Although the aunt felt distressed, she still turned around and went into the bedroom.

Jia Dongxu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, no words came out.

Because it’s useless to say anything!
