I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

"I think your master is hiding something! Who would be so generous as to send money to neighbors every month? And to do it for so many years in a row!" Jia Zhang squinted her eyes and thought for a while before saying.

"I also think it's impossible! Even if my master has something on He Daqing, he left here early in his life. My master doesn't even know where he went. How can he still control him?" Jia Dongxu also analyzed.

"They have remitted money on time every month for these years! There is only one possibility, the money they remitted is the monthly living expenses for Sha Zhu and his sister. But I don't understand why He Daqing remitted it to his neighbors instead of directly to Sha Zhu?"

Jia Zhang's analysis was very logical and clear! He was almost getting to the truth.

"Maybe he asked my master to help raise Sha Zhu's siblings, but he just took the money and did nothing. Mom, if I tell Sha Zhu's siblings about this, will the two families become enemies?"

Jia Dongxu's eyes suddenly lit up! He had always wanted to keep the two families away from each other. Wasn't this a good opportunity?

"Don't do something that hurts others and does not benefit yourself! Don't act rashly before you catch your master. Maybe Sha Zhu knows about the money? Then you will be in trouble on both sides." Although Jia Zhang seems to be stupid, she is actually very clear-headed.

"Then what should we do? This is an opportunity to capture my master, and we can't waste it." Jia Dongxu was scratching his head anxiously, but with his simple mind, he couldn't think of any good solution.

"First, let Huairu go to Shazhu and ask him secretly whether he knows that his father has transferred money to Yi Zhonghai. Ask him if he has any contact with his father. If Shazhu knows nothing, then you can find your master's weakness." Jia Zhang gave her son an idea.

"Okay! Let's do it."

Jia Dongxu clapped his hands excitedly, his face was full of joy. His master was very rich! In the entire gold processing workshop, except for the workshop director, he had the highest salary. If he could successfully catch his master's handle this time, he could get money out of his master.

Qin Huairu was sent by him to Sha Zhu, and came back to say that Sha Zhu had no idea about He Daqing's remittance and had never had any contact with his father.

"It's settled! Dongxu, just say this when you go see your master...! Trick him first and see how he reacts." Jia Zhang whispered in her son's ear, imparting her experience.

Just a few days later, Jia Dongxu went to the east wing to look for his master Yi Zhonghai. If he didn't control Yi Zhonghai today, there would be nothing to eat at home.

"Master, please help your disciple one more time. You can't just stand by and watch me die!" Jia Dongxu started to nag again.

"I've already said it, all the neighbors in the compound are tightening their belts and it's impossible for them to give out food to help the Jia family. You'll have to figure it out on yourselves!" Yi Zhonghai now had a headache whenever he saw his apprentice, and he said impatiently.

"Master, please don't blame me. I have no choice! The remittance slips you receive every month are sent by Sha Zhu's father He Daqing, right?" Jia Dongxu bared his fangs and whispered to his master.

"You bastard! I don't know what you are talking about. The remittances I receive every month are all sent by your master's wife's nephew. What does that He Daqing have to do with it?"

Yi Zhonghai's face changed! He slammed the table and stood up, scolding his apprentice.

"Master, don't fool yourself! The remittance slips are all in the post office. Just check and the truth will be revealed." Jia Dongxu smiled! Seeing his master Yi Zhonghai lose his composure, he felt more confident.

"Dongxu, it's not that Master doesn't want to help, but the neighbors in the courtyard are all of average family conditions. Even if I ask again, I guess no one will be willing to donate food rations. So, you can take my family's grain and oil supply certificate and go buy this month's food rations home."

Yi Zhonghai's attitude softened completely. He had no choice but to give in! If this news was known by Sha Zhu's brother and sister, the consequences would be disastrous. If someone reported this to the police, he would be in big trouble.

"But it's useless for me to take your grain and oil supply certificate! I don't have any money in my pocket to buy grain." Jia Dongxu began to become more and more demanding!

He has confirmed from Yi Zhonghai's attitude that the money remitted by He Daqing in recent years must be the living expenses of the Shazhu brothers. He still doesn't know why it was remitted to Yi Zhonghai, but it is a fact that Yi Zhonghai embezzled all of it.

Yi Zhonghai glared at his apprentice! He stood up unwillingly and went to the inner room to get his own grain and oil supply certificate and ten yuan.

"Thank you, Master. You are really a great benefactor to my family." Jia Dongxu took it with a smile and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

"Before He Daqing left a few years ago, he borrowed a large sum of money from me. The money that was remitted to me over the years was his repayment to me in installments! I didn't say it because I didn't want people to misunderstand me. Just keep your mouth shut! Do you understand?" Yi Zhonghai dryly explained to his apprentice, most importantly, asking him not to talk nonsense to outsiders.

As soon as Jia Dongxu left, Yi Zhonghai's face became gloomy and his eyes looked very scary.

Damn! This ungrateful wolf is actually plotting evil against me! I can only blame myself for being blind to accept this thing as my apprentice.

"Mom, your method is the best. My master listened to me and handed over his grain and oil supply certificate to me."

As soon as Jia Dongxu returned home, he immediately reported the good news to Jia Zhangshi. With the leverage over his master in hand, his family's living pressure would be greatly reduced.

"Dongxu, you must remember! You must not break up with your master, and you must maintain your relationship with him. Don't force him unless it's absolutely necessary." Jia Zhang warned solemnly.

"I know this! After all, I have to rely on him in the factory. Without my master's help, I probably won't pass this year's rating assessment. I'll go to the grain store to buy some rations first!"

Jia Dongxu took the bag of grain from his home and walked out excitedly. He only listened to half of what Jia Zhang had just warned him! The relationship between the two sides must be maintained, but he would not be soft-hearted when it came to extortion.

His master's monthly salary was 99 yuan. The couple had no children, so why did they save so much money? It would be better for him to take some out now to support his apprentice's life.

Time passed slowly, and it was the end of the year again. Jia Dongxu went to his master Yi Zhonghai's house again. He hadn't spent New Year's Eve with his master and his wife for many years. He suggested that everyone get together for a lively New Year's Eve dinner.

In the past few months, Jia Dongxu had borrowed more than 100 yuan and some bills from Yi Zhonghai. Now he wanted to come to his house for the New Year's Eve dinner without spending a penny.

In recent years, his family has celebrated the New Year's Eve dinner with the old lady and Sha Zhu's brothers and sisters. The old lady dislikes the Jia family the most, but the Jia family insists on getting along with them.

But now that he is a master, he can't be tough in front of his apprentice. When his apprentice borrowed money from him, he openly threatened him. The crime of appropriating other people's property is punishable by at least ten years in prison.

After the New Year, I have to find a chance to get rid of this ungrateful person. Even if I go to Sha Zhu to ask for his forgiveness, it is better than being blackmailed by this ungrateful person.

or…!

A cold light flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes! Anything that could threaten him would be his priority target.
