Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1125 The Third Uncle Morally Blackmails Guan Tingting
The third uncle's head was buzzing at this moment, he knew very well how powerful those gangsters were.

If Yan Jiecheng really couldn't afford the TV ticket, those people might throw Yan Jiecheng into the lake.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's pitiful appearance, he was angry, but he was his son after all, so he couldn't just ignore him. He thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll try to find Wang Weidong, but I can't guarantee that I can get the ticket. Don't do such unreliable things again in the future."

When Yan Jiecheng heard that the third uncle was willing to help, he quickly nodded and agreed: "I understand, Dad. You must help me this time."

The third uncle shook his head helplessly and stood up to find Wang Weidong. Yan Jiecheng watched eagerly from behind, his heart full of expectation and worry.

The third uncle knew that Wang Weidong was a man who would not give in to persuasion. If he went to Wang Weidong to ask for the bus ticket, Wang Weidong would definitely ignore him.
The third uncle came to the door of the courtyard with a slightly anxious step. He raised his hand and knocked on the door gently. After a moment, the door opened and Guan Tingting appeared at the door. When she saw the third uncle outside, she had a very strange expression on her face.

Guan Tingting rarely interacted with the residents of the courtyard house. She always felt that there was an invisible barrier between her and her neighbors. She lived a relatively independent life, immersed in her own world. Seeing the third uncle standing at the door, she was full of doubts.

"Uncle, what can I do for you?" Guan Tingting asked politely, but there was still a hint of alienation in her tone.

The third uncle looked at Guan Tingting with an awkward smile on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Tingting, it's like this. The third uncle wants to borrow a bus ticket from you. If you have any extra, can you lend it to me?" There was a hint of pleading in the third uncle's tone. He looked at Guan Tingting eagerly, hoping that she would agree to his request.

When Guan Tingting heard that the third uncle was here to borrow a bus ticket, her doubts instantly turned into vigilance. In her opinion, the third uncle's sudden request was like trying to take advantage of her. She frowned and rejected the third uncle without hesitation.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I don't have a bus ticket and I can't lend it to you." Guan Tingting's tone was cold, and her eyes revealed a hint of defensiveness. She didn't want to get too involved with the residents of the courtyard, especially something that might bring her trouble.

When the uncle heard that Guan Tingting had rejected him, he showed a look of disappointment on his face. He wanted to try again, so he said, "Tingting, I really need your help urgently. Please help me. I will remember your kindness in the future."

Guan Tingting was unmoved. She shook her head firmly and said, "Uncle, it's really not possible. I really don't have a bus ticket. You should go ask somewhere else." After that, Guan Tingting prepared to close the door and ignored the uncle.

Are you kidding? A bus ticket is worth several thousand dollars, and the uncle has the nerve to ask for a bus ticket!
When the third uncle saw Guan Tingting was about to close the door, he was immediately anxious and rushed over, holding the door tightly with his hands, fearing that the door would be closed. His face was full of anxiety, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Tingting, don't close the door yet. Listen to what Uncle Three says." Uncle Three said anxiously, his eyes full of pleading and expectation.

Guan Tingting was startled by the Third Uncle's sudden action. She frowned, looked at the Third Uncle with some displeasure, and said, "Third Uncle, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, just say it quickly."

The third uncle took a deep breath and said quickly: "Tingting, it's like this. Your brother Jie Cheng is in big trouble now. He took one thousand yuan from someone and promised to get a bus ticket for that person, but now there is no ticket. The other party is urging him to pay, and if he can't get the ticket, your brother Jie Cheng will be doomed." As the third uncle spoke, he observed Guan Tingting's expression, trying to arouse her sympathy.

Guan Tingting was a little surprised when she heard this, but she still said hesitantly: "What does this have to do with me? I can't help him get a bus ticket."

When the third uncle heard this, he quickly said, "Tingting, you know a lot of people outside, maybe there is a way. Just help your brother Jie Cheng. We are from the same courtyard, you can't just stand by and watch him die." The third uncle began to morally blackmail Guan Tingting. There was a hint of helplessness and accusation in his tone, as if it would be a sin for Guan Tingting not to help.

"Uncle, I really don't have that ability. Besides, this is Yan Jiecheng's own fault, he should find a way to solve it himself." Guan Tingting tried to shirk responsibility. She didn't want to be involved in such trouble.

The third uncle was relentless, "Tingting, how can you say that? We are neighbors and should help each other. If something happens to your brother Jie Cheng, it will not look good in our yard. Can you bear to watch him being chased for debt and get into trouble? If you don't help him, will you feel at ease?" The third uncle became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, and the expression on his face seemed a little excited and anxious.

Guan Tingting's eyes were firm. She remembered Wang Weidong's instructions and knew that she couldn't easily intervene in such matters. She looked at the third uncle again and said firmly, "Third uncle, it really can't work. I can't help you. You should find someone else to think of a solution." After that, she pretended to close the door again.

Seeing Guan Tingting's firm attitude, the third uncle was extremely anxious, but he had no idea what to do. At this time, he could only wink at the third aunt hiding in the corner. The third aunt had been paying close attention to the situation here, and after seeing the third uncle's look, she hurried over.

The third aunt came to Guan Tingting with a flattering smile on her face, but her eyes revealed anxiety and helplessness. "Tingting, please have pity on us. Your brother Jie Cheng is really desperate. If he can't get a bus ticket, he will be finished." The third aunt said as she gently pulled Guan Tingting's arm with her hand, as if this could soften Guan Tingting's heart.

At this time, Jia Zhang was contented with eating the braised pork, and her stomach was full of fat and water. She seemed to be in a good mood, so she went out for a walk. Her fat body moved in the yard, and her eyes looked around, looking for something to amuse herself. From a distance, Jia Zhang saw the third uncle and the third aunt surrounding Guan Tingting, as if they were talking about something important. Her love of joining in the fun was immediately aroused, and she quickly quickened her pace and ran over.

"Hey, what's going on?" Jia Zhang's voice came before she arrived. When she got closer, she could hear the general situation. Knowing that Yan Jiecheng was in big trouble, Jia Zhang's face immediately showed a gloating smile.

"Haha, I told you, Yan Jiecheng is not a good guy." Jia Zhang laughed without hesitation, her eyes narrowed into a slit, her mouth turned up, revealing a mouthful of uneven teeth. "He is a big liar, he just wants to take advantage of others all day long. Tingting, you must not help him, let him clean up this mess himself." While speaking, Jia Zhang waved her arms exaggeratedly, as if Yan Jiecheng was in front of her and she wanted to scold him severely.

When the third uncle and the third aunt heard what Jia Zhang said, their faces became even uglier. The third uncle frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Jia Zhang, don't make trouble here. Jie Cheng is really in trouble now, we just want Tingting to help think of a solution."

However, Jia Zhang disagreed. "Hmph, he brought the difficulties upon himself. He was so greedy that he took so much money from others, and now he can't handle it. I think he deserves it." Jia Zhang became more and more excited as she spoke, completely disregarding the feelings of the third uncle and aunt.

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, the third aunt became so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Jia Zhang and yelled at her, "Jia Zhang, do you have any sympathy? Jie Cheng is in such a big difficulty now, and it would be fine if you don't help him, but you are still here making sarcastic remarks." The third aunt's voice became a little sharp because of anger. Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction with Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang didn't care about the accusations of the third aunt. She snorted coldly and said, "I have no sympathy? Don't forget how Yan Jiecheng bullied me and Banggeng. He did a lot of bad things to us back then. Now he is in trouble. I am so happy. Why should I sympathize with him? He deserves it!" As Jia Zhang said this, she recalled the conflicts between Yan Jiecheng and their family in the past, and her resentment deepened. She felt that Yan Jiecheng's current experience was retribution and the punishment he deserved.

The third uncle watched Jia Zhang and the third aunt quarreling, his face was very ugly. He knew that there were some unpleasant things between Jia Zhang and Yan Jiecheng, but at this time, he hoped that Jia Zhang could let go of the past grudges and help them think of a solution. "Jia Zhang, the past is the past, and Jiecheng really needs help now, can't you be more generous?" The third uncle tried to persuade Jia Zhang.

However, Jia Zhang simply could not listen to what the Third Uncle said. She turned her head and said, "I am magnanimous? Why should I be magnanimous? Why didn't you be a little more magnanimous when Yan Jiecheng bullied us? I will never forget what he did to us. He deserved this fate today, and no one can expect me to help him." Jia Zhang's attitude was very firm. She believed that Yan Jiecheng deserved it, and no matter what the Third Uncle and Third Aunt said, she would not change her mind.

The atmosphere in the yard became extremely tense, and other neighbors also gathered around.
At this moment, a black car slowly drove over from a distance, and the wheels raised a little dust. The car stopped steadily in front of the courtyard, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see the car door open and Wang Weidong get out of the car.

Wang Weidong was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit. The dark grey fabric was very textured, making him look even more upright. Every button was buttoned neatly, showing his rigorous temperament. His collar was slightly open, revealing the white shirt underneath, which added a bit of casualness to him. He walked towards the crowd with steady steps. Seeing so many people gathered in front of the yard, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart.

"What happened? Why are you all gathered here?" Wang Weidong's voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

When Guan Tingting saw Wang Weidong coming back, she hurried forward as if she saw a savior. With a trace of anxiety and helplessness on her face, she quickly explained the whole story. "Brother Wang, this is what happened. Yan Jiecheng took one thousand yuan from someone and promised to get a bus ticket for him, but now the ticket has not been obtained and he is pressing for it. The third uncle wanted me to help, but I can't do anything. Then Jia Zhangshi made sarcastic remarks again and quarreled with the third aunt." Guan Tingting finished speaking in one breath, her eyes full of expectations for Wang Weidong, hoping that he could come up with a solution.

Wang Weidong listened to Guan Tingting's story, and his expression didn't change much, but he already had a general understanding of the matter. He gently adjusted the cuffs of his Zhongshan suit and swept his eyes over everyone. "What about Yan Jiecheng? What did he say?" Wang Weidong asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally the third uncle said helplessly: "Xie Cheng is worried at home and doesn't know what to do. Wang Weidong, you have a lot of ideas, can you help us think of a solution?"

When everyone heard Wang Weidong say that he wanted to find a solution to the situation, a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts, but Jia Zhang said sarcastically: "What do you mean by thinking of a solution? Don't you just want Wang Weidong to give Yan Jiecheng a bus ticket? You wish!" Jia Zhang pouted, her face full of disdain.

When Wang Weidong heard what Jia Zhang said, his expression did not change. He just looked at the third uncle calmly and refused without hesitation: "Third uncle, bus tickets are issued uniformly by the department and there are strict management regulations. No one can give bus tickets to others privately. I really can't help you with this." Wang Weidong's tone was firm and unquestionable.

When the uncle heard this, he showed a look of disappointment on his face. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start. The aunt was so anxious that she cried, "What should we do? It's all over now."

Wang Weidong felt sorry for the anxious uncle and aunt, but he couldn't break the rules. "Uncle and aunt, don't worry too much. I will help you think of other ways to solve the problem. But I really can't give you the bus tickets.
After hearing what Wang Weidong said, everyone fell silent. They knew that what Wang Weidong said made sense, and bus tickets were not something that could be given casually.

The third uncle and the third aunt looked at each other helplessly, their hearts full of loss and helplessness. They dragged their heavy steps and slowly turned around and walked home. Along the way, both of them were silent, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathless.

When they got home, Yan Jiecheng couldn't wait to greet them, his eyes full of anticipation. "Dad, Mom, how is it? Did you get the bus ticket?" Yan Jiecheng asked anxiously.

The third uncle shook his head, sighed and said, "Wang Weidong refused to give it to me. He said that the bus tickets are issued uniformly by the department and he can't give them to others privately."

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his face turned pale, and then a surge of anger surged in his heart. "What? How could Wang Weidong do this? He watched me die without helping me! I was in such a state, and he couldn't help me?" Yan Jiecheng cursed angrily, his eyes widened, and veins popped out on his forehead.
