Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1215: Unexpected Third Uncle, Yi Zhonghai Action

Even if it's two hundred and fifty yuan, it's still a large sum for Liu Haizhong now.

why.

You have to know that as a seventh-level blacksmith, Liu Haizhong's monthly salary is as high as 70 or 80 yuan. As long as he can save a few months' salary, he can save enough.

However, over the years, all the opportunities that Liu Hai had saved were borrowed by Qin Huairu.

Liu Haizhong thought about it and decided to ask Qin Huairu for money.

He felt that he urgently needed the money to save his son. Even if Qin Huairu didn't remember his past kindness in lending him money, she should at least understand his current difficulties.

But when the second aunt heard this, she hurriedly dissuaded Liu Haizhong: "Old man, don't go! Qin Huairu, that girl, didn't even think about paying back the money when she borrowed it.

If you ask for it now, she will definitely not return the money to you.

Who knows, he might even ridicule you because of Guangtian and Guangqi being arrested! We can’t go and ask for trouble! "

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong was not convinced, but he felt that Qin Huairu would not be so heartless.

But if you think about it carefully, what the second aunt said makes sense.

Qin Huairu has always been shrewd, and she has been playing tricks for her own benefit in the compound over the years. Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong sighed helplessly and could only give up.

He sank down on a chair, holding his head in his hands, not knowing how to collect the two hundred and fifty dollars needed to save his life.

Just when Liu Haizhong was at a loss, the second aunt's eyes lit up, as if she suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Old man, we can go to the third uncle to borrow money!"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his brows instantly wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, and he said unhappily: "You still mention him? He just laughed at me in the compound yesterday and insulted me like I was worthless. Do you think he will lend me money?

Don’t even think about it! "

The second aunt was not in a hurry and patiently persuaded: "Old man, you should stop focusing on what happened yesterday.

Uncle San is a bit mean and his words are usually harsh. But as for his character, there is actually no big problem. We have been neighbors with him for so many years, don't you know him well?

Although he likes to take advantage of others, he will not stand idly by when something really happens."

Liu Haizhong was still a little reluctant when he heard what the second aunt said.

But he also felt that what she said made some sense. He hesitated for a moment, muttering, "I'm afraid if I go, he will ridicule me again, then where will I put my face?"

The second aunt walked up, patted Liu Haizhong's shoulder gently, and said, "You, don't be so stubborn.

What time is it now? It is the critical moment to save our son.

For the sake of your son, just lower your head and give it a try.

If the Third Master is willing to lend it to us, it would solve our urgent need."

Liu Haizhong pondered for a while, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll listen to you. I'll go find him and give it a try. If he really doesn't lend it to me, I'll never forgive him in the future!"

Liu Haizhong arrived at the third uncle's house with a nervous mood. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the third uncle's family sitting around the table, slurping cornmeal porridge. Yan Jiecheng, the third aunt, and Yan Jiekuang were all there.

The third uncle raised his eyes and saw that it was Liu Haizhong standing outside the door. He immediately raised his mouth with a mocking smile and said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, isn't this Liu Haizhong? How come you have time to come to me? Are you here to share your experience in educating children with me again?

I remember that you always liked to use the stick to educate your children, and now you have sent your children to prison."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his face turned red and white. Although he was very angry, he suppressed his anger when he remembered that the man came to borrow money.

He smiled awkwardly, a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "Uncle, please stop teasing me. Something happened to my child, and I was worried, so I came to see you... I have something to discuss with you."

Yan Jiecheng also joined in the fun, chuckled, and said, "Uncle Liu, your teaching method is really unique. We all need to learn from it."

The third uncle noticed that although Liu Haizhong had a smile on his face, his expression was filled with anxiety, and he guessed that he really had something to do.

He turned around and scolded Yan Jiecheng: "Jiecheng, stop talking nonsense! You are so dishonest."

Then, he looked at Liu Haizhong again, raised his chin slightly, and said, "Since Haizhong is here, let's go inside and talk first."

The third uncle sat on a chair, picked up the bowl of porridge, took a sip, and asked slowly: "What's the matter with you coming to see me in the sea?"

Liu Haizhong took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Third Uncle, to be honest, I came here this time to borrow some money from you. Something happened to Guangtian and Guangqi, and I...I have to find a way to get them out."

When the third uncle heard about borrowing money, his originally calm expression changed instantly. He put down the bowl in his hand and frowned: "Borrow money? You know, my family is not well off.

A big family needs money for food, drink, and toilet. I have also heard about what your two sons did. It is not something that can be solved with a small amount of money. "

Liu Haizhong said hurriedly, "Uncle San, I know your life is not easy. But I really have no other choice. Please lend me as much as you can for the sake of our being neighbors for so many years. I will always remember your kindness. When the children are released, I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but muttered, "Uncle Liu, this is not easy for you. It's easy to borrow money but hard to repay it. What can you use to repay it..."

You know, although Liu Haizhong is still a seventh-level forger, his salary has been greatly reduced due to the poor performance of the steel rolling mill.

The three aunts also nodded in agreement.

Liu Haizhong felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but he was speechless.

He really didn't expect that the third uncle would ask him how much money he needed after hesitating for a moment.

Liu Haizhong said quickly: "Old Yan, I need 250 yuan. But I can get 70 or 80 yuan by myself, so I still need 170 yuan."

As soon as he said this, he felt that the number was heavy. For ordinary people, it was simply an astronomical figure.

However, what Liu Haizhong didn't expect was that the third uncle actually agreed immediately: "Okay, Haizhong, one hundred and seventy yuan is one hundred and seventy yuan.

We are neighbors living in the same yard. If something happens to your child, I can’t just stand by and do nothing.”

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong was stunned.

Is this still the old man who would smell the manure truck whenever it passed by?

The third aunt and Yan Jiecheng were also shocked. The third aunt was anxious, not caring about the presence of outsiders, and said directly: "His father, are you crazy? Don't you know what life is like in our family?

How can you lend out so much money at once? How are you going to live in the future?" Yan Jiecheng was even more dissatisfied and couldn't help but scolded: "Dad, you are really great! I am getting married soon, and you say you have no money every day.

That's great. I can immediately take out 170 yuan to lend to others. What are you thinking?"

The third uncle was embarrassed by the two people's disturbance, but he still said with his neck stiff: "What do you know!

We have lived in this compound for so many years, and what we value among neighbors is mutual help.

The Haizhong family is really in big trouble this time. If we don't help them, how can we hold our heads up high in the courtyard in the future?"

When the three aunts heard this, they became even more anxious and said, "Even if we help each other, we have to consider the situation. This is not a small amount. Besides, who knows when he can pay it back!"

The third uncle frowned and interrupted the third aunt impatiently: "Stop talking so much! I'll lend it to you just because I say so. Liu Haizhong is not the kind of person who refuses to pay his debts." After that, he ignored the third aunt and turned into the house.

The third uncle walked to the bedside with ease, squatted down, and dragged out an inconspicuous jar from under the bed with great effort.

He carefully opened the lid of the jar and took out a small package wrapped in layers of cloth. When he opened the package, he found a neat stack of banknotes.

The third uncle carefully counted out the one hundred and seventy yuan, held it tightly in his hand, and returned to the living room.

He walked up to Liu Haizhong, handed him the money, and said, "Haizhong, take it. Use the money first. The child's matter is more important."

Liu Haizhong looked at the money in the third uncle's hand, his eyes moistened instantly, and his voice was choked with sobs: "

You... you really saved my family from an emergency! I will never forget your great kindness.

Don't worry, I will pay you back as soon as possible, even if I have to sell everything I have, I will not default on the debt."

The three aunts standing by watched this scene and stamped their feet in pain, muttering softly, "So much money..."

Yan Jiecheng looked displeased and turned his head away, unwilling to watch the scene anymore.

Liu Haizhong bowed deeply to the third uncle again, thanked him profusely, then carefully put the money into his arms and turned to leave.

After leaving the house, Liu Haizhong quickly walked to the corner of the courtyard. After making sure that there was no one around, a smug smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes flashed with a cunning light, and he muttered quietly: "Humph, Old Yan is really a fool, he is willing to lend me such a large sum of money. He is usually very stingy, but this time he is generous."

"As for whether or not to return it, that depends on God's will. Anyway, my son's matter is the most important thing now. After my son is rescued, we can talk about the money later."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong walked into the darkness.

Liu Haizhong hurried back home with the 170 yuan he borrowed from the third uncle.

As soon as he entered the door, the second aunt came up to him eagerly, her eyes full of expectation and anxiety, and asked, "Old man, how about it, is the third uncle willing to lend me money?"

Liu Haizhong showed a hint of pride on his face. He took out the stack of money from his pocket, shook it in front of the second aunt, and said, "Humph, you really said it, the third uncle really borrowed it, one hundred and seventy yuan!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the second aunt's eyes, and then she became a little worried: "Oh, so much money, when can we pay it back?"

Liu Haizhong waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry about it for now. Saving our son is the most important thing. Oh, where's the 80 yuan from our family? Take it out quickly."

The second aunt hurried to the inner room and took out a small cloth bag from a secret place.

He opened it carefully and found eighty yuan neatly stacked inside.

She handed the money to Liu Haizhong and reminded him, "Old man, this is the last of our family's assets. You must rescue our son safely."

Liu Haizhong nodded solemnly, put the money handed over by the second aunt and the money borrowed from the third uncle together, and held it tightly in his hand.

The door of Yi Zhonghai's house was ajar, and a dim light was coming from the room.

Liu Haizhong knocked on the door gently, and without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open and walked in. Yi Zhonghai was sitting on a chair in the room, and when he saw Liu Haizhong coming in, his eyes subconsciously fell on the money tightly held in his hand.

Liu Haizhong stepped forward and handed 250 yuan to Yi Zhonghai.

He said, "Old Yi, I have collected all the money. You must keep your word and rescue my two sons."

Yi Zhonghai took the money, counted it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, a hint of imperceptible satisfaction appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "Old Liu, don't worry. Since I promised you, I will definitely find a way. I will do it as soon as possible, just wait for my news."

After Liu Haizhong left with peace of mind, the room was quiet for a while. At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps from the inner room, and a woman came out from the inner room.

She frowned, worry revealed in her eyes, walked to Yi Zhonghai, and asked softly: "Zhonghai, what if we take the money but can't save the people in the end? With Liu Haizhong's temper, I'm afraid he won't give up at that time."

Yi Zhonghai raised his head and glanced at the aunt, with a confident look on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Even if we can't save him, I have a way to deal with Liu Haizhong."

When the aunt heard this, she sighed, knowing that Yi Zhonghai would not listen to her.

The next morning, the sun shone sparsely into the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai got up early, picked out a set of clean and tidy clothes from the closet and put them on. He tidied himself up in front of the mirror before going out and walking towards the Nantongluo Lane Street Office.

When he arrived outside the subdistrict office, it was still early and there were few people on the street. Yi Zhonghai found a conspicuous position to stand, staring at the gate of the subdistrict office, as if he was waiting for some important person.

Soon, Deputy Director Ma came slowly, pushing a half-worn bicycle. Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to greet him with a big smile on his face.

When Deputy Director Ma saw Yi Zhonghai, his originally calm expression suddenly turned ugly. He stopped and asked with a frown, "Yi Zhonghai, why are you here? What are you doing here?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about Deputy Director Ma's attitude at all, and still said with a smile: "Deputy Director Ma, I haven't seen you for a while, and I've been thinking about you. Today, I want to invite you for a drink and have a good chat."

Deputy Director Ma frowned even more tightly and responded in a cold tone: "I have quit drinking and don't have the time for this." After that, he was about to push his bicycle forward.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai's smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a gloomy face. He took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Deputy Director Ma, this is the good wine I got from the deaf old lady, would you really like to consider it?"

Hearing the words "deaf old lady"

Deputy Director Ma's expression suddenly turned very ugly.

There was a trace of panic in his eyes, and he looked around subconsciously. After confirming that there was no one around, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Okay, I'll drink with you this time."
