Chapter 1099 Liu Haizhong's Conditions
Last time, Yi Zhonghai wanted to take Liu Haizhong with him to go to the Xu family to plead for mercy, but Liu Haizhong refused.

Yi Zhonghai didn’t know Liu Haizhong’s difficulties. Since then, he and Liu Haizhong basically just said hello when they met.

So Yi Zhonghai really didn't understand why Liu Haizhong was so close to him today.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was in a daze, Liu Haizhong grabbed Yi Zhonghai's arm and pulled him out.

Yi Zhonghai's legs and feet were not in good condition to begin with, so he didn't dare to use any strength and was pulled out by Liu Haizhong.

Yi Zhonghai said in a panic: "No, Lao Liu, it's not a festival, what's the reason for you to act like this today?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't intend to be polite to Liu Haizhong. He was in trouble now, and Liu Haizhong was not much better than him in street life.

Even Liu Haizhong is worse than him.

At least Yi Zhonghai was not afraid at all when he went out at night or walked through some remote alleys.

But Liu Haizhong didn't dare to do that, for fear of being put in a sack.

The key point is that Yi Zhonghai still holds a grudge against Liu Haizhong for not wanting to help him plead for mercy last time.

Liu Haizhong held Yi Zhonghai's arm and said with a wry smile, "Old Yi, I know you blame me for what happened when I went to Old Xu's house last time.

I can't explain this.

I can only tell you that I really don’t dare to go there.

Xu Damao just scolded you and let the matter pass.

The problems I have with him are much more serious.

Today, we have some free time, so I want to apologize to you and discuss something with you."

After saying that, he thought about dragging Yi Zhonghai to the backyard.

"Old Liu, let's just forget about it." Yi Zhonghai was prepared this time, but he didn't move with Liu Haizhong. Instead, he broke away from Liu Haizhong's enthusiasm and took a step back.
Then he continued to talk to Liu Haizhong: "Every family has its own problems. Helping is a favor, not helping is a duty.

I don't blame you...
There is no need to apologize, just let me know if you have anything to say..."

Yi Zhonghai said the most polite words, but he kept Liu Haizhong out.

To put it bluntly, what he meant was that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong no longer had that kind of relationship, and there was no need for them to do that.

Liu Haizhong really smiled bitterly.

He really never thought that there would be a day when he would have to ask Yi Zhonghai for help.

"Alas," Liu Haizhong sighed, "What else could it be? It's all for Guangfu."

"What's the matter with Guangfu?" Yi Zhonghai was a little puzzled.

After Liu Guangfu came back, he basically never went out, and Yi Zhonghai had rarely seen him.

Furthermore, the child has been like a wild cat since he was young and is not close to any of the elders in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai really had no idea what Liu Guangfu could ask him for help with.

Liu Haizhong was also depressed. When Liu Guangfu returned home, in addition to solving the previous issues, there was still an important problem that was not solved.

That is Liu Guangfu’s work problem.

Liu Haizhong can support this useless son, but Liu Guangfu will have to get married, have children, and support his family in the future, so he will definitely need to acquire some skills.

But these days, it is really difficult to make arrangements for Liu Guangfu.

Both father and son have problems.

Nowadays, serious young people have to go to remote places to suffer hardships once they reach a certain age.

If Liu Guangfu arranged any work, the street would be rushed by those parents.

The street office is also in a difficult position. For people like Liu Guangfu who have turned over a new leaf, the street office has the responsibility to help with resettlement.

But now it is a trend for young people to go to the countryside, and finding a job for Liu Guangfu has become a problem.

We can only delay it or arrange a part-time job for Liu Guangfu to do first.

The part-time workers here are not the temporary workers who are formally employed in the factory. Temporary workers have the opportunity to become regular employees, but part-time workers are not eligible for regular employment.

This is the result of Liu Haizhong being willing to spend money and ask for help from others.

People like Liu Haizhong who were looking for a better life gave the Liu family two choices: one was to go to the outskirts of the city to work with the construction team to build roads, and the other was to collect waste at the street waste station.

Let’s not talk about road construction, which is too hard work, and there are many people involved who are undergoing reform work.

The key point is that if Liu Guangfu goes to the construction team, given his cowardly character, he probably won't dare to complain if he is punished, so the Liu family will not consider that matter.

Another one is pulling a cart to collect waste.

Like this one, there are also formal workers.

If you can get a formal job, even though the work is not glorious, you can earn a lot of money.

Regular workers receive a salary and also have extra income, for example, there are various price guides for the several types of waste that are commonly collected.

For example, the recycling price of waste paper boxes outside is a few cents, but when they arrive at the waste station, one cent or a few cents will be added per pound.

This is to facilitate the waste collector's loss on the scale.

But if you accumulate it, you can earn an extra three or five cents a day.

It may not seem like much, but over time, it is not difficult for a scrap recycler to earn more than thirty dollars a month.

It depends on who you compare with. You definitely can't compare with a master like Liu Haizhong.

But compared to the vast majority of workers, it is already a high salary.

But Liu Guangfu can't get a formal job.

Liu Guangfu can only do odd jobs, and odd jobs don't bring him a fixed salary.

I can only earn a little difference in price, getting up early and going to bed late every day, which is much harder than working as a formal worker, and I only make a little over ten yuan a month.

The key point is that waste collection is now divided into areas. For example, the good places are basically divided up by the regular workers.

So right now, this is really not a good business.

Liu Haizhong looked down on it and Liu Guangfu didn't want to go either.

This thing is also the reason why the Liu father and son set their sights on Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Haizhong briefly explained the matter to Yi Zhonghai, and while Yi Zhonghai was stunned, he dragged Yi Zhonghai to the backyard of Liu's house.

Liu Haizhong pushed Liu Haizhong to sit down, poured him some wine, and then raised his glass and said, "Old Yi, you also know what kind of temper I am.

I'm not talking nonsense to you either.

I know a little about your problem. As long as you teach Guangfu, I will arrange for him to open a stall. In the future, during the three festivals and two birthdays, you can let the child treat you as an elder.

To put it bluntly, with Guangfu watching over you in the yard, no one will dare to bully you in the future."

To be honest, Liu Haizhong's condition is really good.

He knew what Yi Zhonghai was most worried about, which was his future retirement issue.

He asked Liu Guangfu to treat Yi Zhonghai as his elder, which meant that he would help Yi Zhonghai look after Tian Ya and Cao'er in the future. If Tian Ya and her daughter abused Yi Zhonghai in the future, the Liu family would speak up for justice.

If society does not change, then the idea proposed by Liu Haizhong really hits the heart of Yi Zhonghai.

This is different from the Yan family's intention to let Yan Jiecheng take responsibility for this matter. To put it bluntly, the Yan family is greedy and might sell Yi Zhonghai out for a little money.

However, Liu Haizhong has a much better reputation in this regard.

As for the issue of teaching apprentices and starving themselves to death, these days it depends on the industry.

For example, a repair shop does not have this problem.
