If she wasn't sincere on this condition, Auntie would have divorced Yi Zhonghai no matter what.
The days that followed were foreseeable, and she must have kept Yi Zhonghai under control.
Now looking at Li Weidong's generous move, Auntie feels a little regretful, but Yi Zhonghai has blocked the way for her.
How can the icing on the cake be better than giving help when it is timely?
Moreover, the relationship between the two families is so tense now. If the aunt wants to show her courtesy, Li Weidong may think that she has another agenda.
On the other hand, He Yuzhu might be able to save something.
The relationship between the two families has always been good, and even if there were conflicts before, it has not reached the point of incompatibility.
As long as Yi Zhonghai is willing to lower his head and take the initiative to say good things to He Yuzhu, it is estimated that the two families will be able to restore their previous relationship in a few days.
Although He Yuyu had prejudices against Yi Zhonghai, girls always had to get married.
Aren't He Yuzhu and his wife the only ones left in the yard in the end?
At this time, the aunt knew nothing about Yi Zhonghai's taking up the alimony of He Yuzhu's brother and sister. If she had known, maybe she wouldn't think so.
He will only hurry up and complete the divorce procedures with Yi Zhonghai and squeeze out the last bit of value from him.
While Auntie was thinking about how to get Yi Zhonghai to establish a relationship with He Yuzhu, Li Weidong and his wife were instructing the workers to set up a sofa in He Yuzhu's room.
As the owner of the house, He Yuzhu was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, and then hurriedly pulled Li Weidong aside.
"Weidong, why didn't you tell me? The sofa is too expensive, why don't you take it and return it? I'll pay for the porter's money."
After Li Weidong rolled his eyes, he slapped He Yuzhu's hand away and said: "Stop talking nonsense, look at your house, is there anything decent? Just because Han Zhizhi doesn't care, doesn't mean you can do nothing.
Three turns and one beep, are you ready?”
He Yuzhu scratched his head when he heard this and said: "The sewing machine and the watch are not here yet, but the other two are ready."
Li Weidong touched his chin and calculated the time. The watch he ordered from the Cuttlefish Sect should have arrived.
Rather than letting He Yuzhu buy it outside, it is better to sell it to him yourself, but you can't give it to him directly, you have to go around in a circle.
Even though he is a friend, Li Weidong does not want to expose his trump card.
In this world, the most complicated thing is the human heart. Never try to test the human heart, the result will only disappoint you.
"Watch, I can help you think of a solution. I'll ask you later and tell you when I'm sure."
He Yuzhu was overjoyed when he heard this. He had asked someone to ask for the sewing machine, but the watch was difficult to operate.
This is not a question of whether there are industrial coupons, it’s just that watches have limited production and are always in short supply.
You can buy it, but I guess it won't be in time for the wedding day.
Three turns and one ring is the most fashionable thing in marriage nowadays.
His family's conditions are not as good as those of the Han Zhizhi family, so He Yuzhu hopes to prepare everything so that he can gain some face in front of the Han family.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then. You don't know that buying a watch has made me worried to death!"
Li Weidong patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "Who told you not to tell me earlier."
He Yuzhu spread his hands and said, "I didn't expect you to have any idea!"
Li Weidong shook his head. Indeed, not only He Yuzhu, but even Yu Li was not very clear about the things he did in private.
Even Fatty Yu, who helps him distribute, is just a part of it.
Li Weidong is the only one who truly controls the overall situation from beginning to end.
This also avoids the risk of exposure.
Even if there is a problem in one of the links, there is no need to worry about the fundamentals being overturned.
After seeing the sofa being arranged, He Yuzhu, who had previously insisted on asking Li Weidong to return the goods, was already smiling from ear to ear.
"Don't tell me, after putting up this sofa, it's really a little different! It's a pity, it would be better if there was a TV! After getting off work, I lay down on this sofa, drink a little wine, watch the TV, and then sit down for two
Let’s talk about the food and drinks, how can we live a good life, tsk~”
"Stop tutting, I still want a TV. It's such a beautiful idea."
He Yuzhu laughed and didn't care at all about Li Weidong's words.
He decided to set a small goal for himself, save money, and try to get a TV back.
I heard that you can see storytelling and cross talk on TV now. Hey, those are two of the favorite pastimes of old Beijing people.
Shazhu remembered that he could still see him under the overpass when he was a child, but gradually he rarely encountered him.
In the past few years, God was not kind to me and there was a famine. Everyone tightened their belts and lived a life. How could they have any spare money to listen to storytelling?
You will be rewarded after listening!
People in the old capital city are all about saving face, and they would be embarrassed to do it for nothing in front of the big guys, without giving any reward.
What's the difference between listening to storytelling and reading pirated books without paying for tea?
At least He Yuzhu couldn't do this.
When he was a kid, he would sell steamed buns. After listening to the storytelling, he would leave two steamed buns for others as money for the storytelling.
It's okay not to think about it, but it makes me feel a little itchy just thinking about it.
So He Yuzhu approached Li Weidong and said, "Weidong, how about we take some time to listen to storytelling?"
Li Weidong glanced at He Yuzhu and said, "Where are you going to listen? Last time I went to the tavern on the side of Zhengyangmen. There used to be a storytelling master there, but now he has disappeared."
As he said this, Li Weidong thought of another thing.
Something that can add a talisman to yourself.
In later generations, he had heard that there was a special category in storytelling, such as "Fire King" and "Stormy Storm", which could definitely be played on television and radio.
It seems that it hasn't appeared yet. Why don't you write it down and send an initiative to the higher authorities?
Once it is done, even if the wind blows on you, you can still have multiple layers of protective cover.
However, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Not only must we find someone who is good at storytelling, but he must also be courageous.
He Yuzhu on the side saw that Li Weidong was silent and thought that Li Weidong also wanted to listen to storytelling, so he couldn't help but smacked his mouth.
Nowadays, the only place where you can still hear storytelling is on TV stations.
But it's not easy to get in there, and I don't know if Han Zhizhi can find a relationship.
He Yuzhu is now somewhat accustomed to finding a wife when he has something to do. He has already tasted the benefits. It would be a bit embarrassing to let him leave such a good opportunity unused.
He doesn't plan to tell Li Weidong about this now, and he won't talk about it until the matter is settled. If it is not settled, wouldn't it be in vain?
Afterwards, the two discussed the layout of He Yuzhu's house for a while.
Since He Yuzhu's wedding was in such a hurry, there was no time for him to repaint the walls, but Li Weidong gave him a suggestion - lay wallpaper.
Wallpaper is already available these days, but it is not cheap, especially when it covers the whole room.
The average family cannot afford it.
He Yuzhu thought about it for a long time but couldn't make up his mind. Finally, He Yuzhu came over and after hearing this, he made the decision for him.
Wallpaper is really easy to buy, you don’t even need a coupon, you can just go to a department store and buy it.
However, it is difficult to find a master who applies wallpaper. Nowadays, people prefer painting instead of wallpapering. In addition, the price is not cheap, so few people choose this method.
In the end, the job of finding the master fell to Li Weidong again.
Because he remembered that Shan Xiaolin's father seemed to be doing this.
After discussing it, Li Weidong and He Yuzhu decided to separate.
Li Weidong went to Shan's house to find Shan Xiaolin's father, while brothers He Yuzhu and He Yuyu went to buy wallpaper.
Time is urgent and we must act quickly.
Fortunately, when Li Weidong went to Shan's house, Shan's father happened to be at home.
Unlike Shan Xiaolin, who is a frivolous person, Dad Shan can be said to be a model of an honest person.
He has been working hard all his life, and when people around him mention him, they always give him a thumbs up.
Shan's father recognized Li Weidong, and after hearing him explain the whole story, he immediately packed up his tools and returned to the courtyard with Li Weidong.
Didn't even ask about wages.
Li Weidong also didn't expect that Mr. Shan would be so cheerful.
In the words of Shan's father: "We are in a hurry to get married. This is a major event in life. We can't let others delay it. Whether it's money or not, you Weidong came to tell you in person, so you won't lose his share, right?"
?”
Li Weidong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he thought about it. Honesty doesn't mean stupidity, it's just a rule of thumb.
When the two returned to the courtyard together, brothers and sisters He Yuzhu and He Yuyu had already returned first.
And bought the necessary wallpaper and glue.
Next, naturally, everyone started to attack Shan Lao.
Otherwise, if he is alone, he doesn't know how long it will take to get there.
Yu Li, who had already returned to the house, saw that Li Weidong hadn't returned for a long time, so she came over again.
When I saw everyone was busy working, I rolled up my sleeves and joined in.
A group of people worked feverishly until midnight and finally put up the wallpaper.
This is because the area required for He Yuzhu House is not large, otherwise it would never have been completed so quickly.
After working for a long time, everyone is exhausted.
Li Weidong said hello to He Yuzhu's brother and sister, and after telling He Yuzhu not to forget to pay Shan Lao's wages, he took Yu Li back.
He Yuzhu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know the rules."
*********
"Hey, have you heard? It seems that Lao He is coming back."
"Which Lao He?"
"There is only one family named He in our courtyard, who else can be there?"
"Hey, are you talking about He Yuzhu's father? Does he still have the nerve to come back?"
"As you said, I only have one son, and he is getting married. Can he not come back?"
"That's true, but Shazhu and his sister have suffered so much injustice before, so I'm afraid they won't treat him well."
"There is no overnight feud between father and son. As long as Lao He sincerely apologizes, the matter may be over. Even if Silly Zhu doesn't like to see him, he is still his biological father!"
"..."
Two women doing laundry were chatting away.
All this was heard word by word by Yi Zhonghai, who had just come out of the house.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat, He Daqing is coming back? This is not a good thing!
Once He Daqing comes back, the things he did may be exposed.
If everyone really wanted to know about it, he wouldn't even be able to stay in the steel rolling mill, let alone this yard.
With the leverage in his hands, He Daqing might not dare to make a fuss, but Si Zhu and his sister probably wouldn't let him go.
If you get into trouble, there is still the possibility of going to jail.
At his age, how can he withstand jail time?
No, we have to think of a countermeasure.
However, Yi Zhonghai thought for a long time and could only think of two ways.
The first is to 'persuad' He Daqing to go back, and the second is to use the excuse to blackmail He Daqing and prevent him from telling the truth.
However, these two methods are quite difficult to implement. It is equivalent to breaking up with He Daqing. It will not be easy to get money from him later.
Yi Zhonghai originally thought about getting some money from He Daqing when He Yuyu got married.
I'm afraid it won't work now.
What a worry!
"It's so early in the morning. If you don't go to work, why are you sighing here?"
A voice came from behind Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai turned around and realized that Aunt Ma had come behind him at some point.
He looked at Aunt Ma with a very troubled expression. If what happened in the cellar had happened before, he would probably tell her everything directly.
But now, he was hesitant.
If Auntie knew that he was in danger of losing his reputation, she might leave without hesitation.
But one person is short-term, and two people are long-term. Auntie's mind is always flexible, and she can come up with a good solution for him even if he doesn't decide.
After his expression changed for a while, Yi Zhonghai finally made up his mind.
After he turned around and closed the door, he brought Auntie into the house.
"Old woman, I'm telling you something, but don't panic after listening to it!"
"Huh?" The aunt looked at Yi Zhonghai in confusion.
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and told how He Daqing approached him after he left the courtyard and asked him to send money to He Yuzhu's brother and sister.
Even though he had been his bed partner for decades, after listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Auntie looked at him as if she were looking at a stranger.
"Yi Zhonghai, you are really capable. Now I know why you became extinct. You have done so many dirty things. It would be unreasonable for you not to become extinct!"
Normally, if Yi Zhonghai hears someone scolding him in front of his face, he has to fight to the death.
Because this is a thorn in his heart, whoever mentions it will die.
But now he has something to ask for, and his aunt is the only one who can help him, so he can only endure it.
"It is true that I made a mistake in this matter, but the most important thing now is to find out how to remedy it. You don't want to see me ruined, right? If I lose my job in the steel rolling mill, your life will not be easy in the future."
Hearing this, the aunt looked at Yi Zhonghai, frowning, as if she was thinking of a way to solve the problem.
After a while, she said: "It's okay to help you, but I want to take half of the money!"
Yi Zhonghai suddenly took a breath of cold air and subconsciously refused.
But then he thought about it, if he couldn't resolve the matter properly, let alone half of it, he would have to spit out all the money he took.
If he met Aunt Ma's request, he would still be able to keep at least half of the money. This comparison made Yi Zhonghai make a decision in his heart.
"Okay, half is half, but you have to find a way for me."
"No, you give me the money first, and I will tell you what to do."
Yi Zhonghai took a deep look at Aunt Ma, and finally chose to give in. He ran to his kang and fumbled around for a while, then took out a box and opened it in front of Aunt Ma.
After carefully counting the cash on it, I gave half of it to Auntie.
