At ten o'clock in the evening, as soon as Su Cheng stepped into the door of the courtyard, the third uncle appeared at the door like a ghost.
Su Cheng was already used to this.
It happened that Su Cheng also wanted to talk to the third uncle about something, so he stopped and took a look at what medicine the third uncle was selling in his gourd.
"Third uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Su Cheng smiled and joked,
"I don't want you to be like this. Every time I stand at the door blindly, if I meet someone bolder and thinks you are a thief, I might punch you down."
The third uncle waved his hand and pretended to be serious,
"Seiko, you are so unkind!"
I'm not kind? Third uncle, it's better than you not doing things right, right?
You want to take advantage of me, right?
Su Cheng looked at the third uncle calmly and said,
"Third uncle, what do you mean by this? Why am I not being kind?"
The third uncle said dissatisfiedly,
"You already have a partner, and you asked me to introduce you to Teacher Li Qiufang. Isn't this offending someone?"
Su Cheng asked in surprise,
"Third uncle, how do you know that I have a partner?"
"Hey, stop pretending!"
The third uncle said confidently,
"You carried Yu Yu to work in the morning. The intimate look on the way, you two are not together, who would believe it?"
When I went out in the morning, Yu Yu and I didn't do anything intimate, right?
Su Cheng thought for a while and felt that the third uncle was probably bluffing him, so he immediately said,
"Third uncle, who in this courtyard doesn't know that Yuyu and I have been close since childhood, but I won't let you talk nonsense like this!"
The third uncle did have a flash of light. He pushed his little eyes and pulled Su Cheng to the corner. He glanced around and whispered,
"Chengzi, please don't hold on. On the way to Dongdan in the morning, your third aunt just came back from the wet market in Dongdan and was looking at you. The way the rain was holding you. If you two don't get better, third uncle, I will
I dare to chop off my head and use it as a chair for you."
Oh, the feeling is that if I was bumped into by the third aunt on the main road in Dongdan, then it’s okay.
Su Cheng finally understood what was going on when he heard this. He had no intention of hiding his affair with Yuyu from the third uncle today. Now that the third uncle had revealed it, Su Cheng saved a lot of effort and joked:
,
"Third uncle, third aunt is really busy. If I don't go to Chaoyang vegetable market to buy vegetables, I have to walk for half an hour to Dongdan vegetable market. I'll be unlucky if I get caught."
Seeing that Su Cheng was not denying it, the third uncle was secretly proud, his shrewd little eyes rolled around, and then he looked at Su Cheng with a heartbroken tone and said,
"Chengzi, tell me what you are doing? Don't you know that Yuyu is already engaged to someone? Fortunately, your third aunt only saw this today. If other people in the courtyard knew about this,
No, no frying?"
Su Cheng wanted to see what kind of medicine the third uncle was selling in his gourd, so he followed the third uncle's words,
"Third uncle, what you said makes sense. Then I have to thank you and Third Aunt for keeping this secret for me."
When the third uncle saw this, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said in a sanctimonious manner,
"Shengzi, now that you have realized your mistake, you should draw a clear line with Yuyu as soon as possible, do you understand?"
Then he said sadly,
"Chengzi, you are really unkind! I enthusiastically introduced Teacher Li Qiufang to you, but you are messing around behind my back. If the incident between you and Yuyu spreads, where will you let my old face go?
Let it go? Are you still a section chief?"
Seeing that the third uncle was speaking seriously, Su Cheng didn't refute him and said calmly,
"Third uncle, thank you for your kind reminder."
When the third uncle saw this, he nodded with satisfaction and said,
"Chengzi, you are a scholar like Cao Aman, you are going to suffer a lot."
Oh, third uncle, you also know Cao Ah Man, you don’t seem to be a very serious scholar.
Su Cheng complained, no longer bothering to talk around in circles with the third uncle, and asked directly,
"Third uncle, just tell me what you want to do."
"Chengzi, we are all from the same yard. You also know that my eldest brother has never had a fixed job. It is not a problem to work odd jobs all the time. Are you right?"
The third uncle said tactfully,
"You are the section chief in the factory, and you have many connections. I can solve the problem of Qin Huairu's regularization in just a few words. It shouldn't be difficult to help my family find a temporary job in the factory, right?"
"
Su Cheng glanced at the third uncle with a half-smile but said,
"Third uncle, your calculation is so good. It would be a waste if our factory didn't hire you to be an accountant."
When the third uncle heard this, his face turned red and he explained,
"Shengzi, my whole family depends on my salary to support them. If I don't think twice, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind."
Then he promised emphatically,
"As long as you can find a job for my boss in the factory, your three aunts and I will be worried about you and Yu Yu. You can rest assured."
Having said this, Su Cheng finally understood what kind of medicine the third uncle was selling.
Unconscionably, he accepted his money, but did nothing to deal with it. He first cleaned himself up, and then accused him of his wrongdoing.
Then he used him to talk to Yuyu and wanted to give his boss Yan Jiecheng the benefit of being a temporary worker.
At this moment, Su Cheng stopped pretending, looked at the third uncle with a stern face and said,
"Third uncle, are you so sure that I will find a job for your boss?"
When the third uncle saw Su Cheng's unkind tone, his heart skipped a beat. He thought it was Su Cheng who didn't want to be threatened by him. After calming down for a while, he looked at Su Cheng and said,
"Chengzi, are you really not afraid that I will tell you about Yu Yu? It's just a temporary job, so it's not difficult for you, right? Why bother with yourself?"
"Third uncle, do you really treat me like a piece of fish on the chopping board and let me do whatever you want?"
Su Cheng glanced at the third uncle and said,
"I won't mention the blind date for now. Yuyu has called off the engagement a long time ago. Now Yuyu and I are just in a free love relationship. Even if you tell me, I won't be afraid. At most, you will get some notoriety."
When the third uncle saw Su Cheng say this, he immediately panicked and looked at Su Cheng pretending to be calm and said,
"Chengzi, are you trying to trick your third uncle? Why didn't I know that Yuyu broke off the engagement?"
When Su Cheng saw the third uncle who still refused to give up, he immediately said,
"Third uncle, if you don't believe it, just ask the third aunt to spread the word in the courtyard. Anyway, we have formed a good relationship today. We are all from the same courtyard. Don't blame me for being in the fifteenth grade if you are in the first year of junior high school!"
The third uncle saw that Su Cheng was trying to break up with him, so he dared to continue to be tough. He was just a teacher. Su Cheng was the chief of the security department, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs. The third uncle immediately gave in.
Su Cheng said softly,
"Chengzi, don't bother me. If you have anything to say, please tell me. This is indeed an unkind thing I did. I apologize to you."
Su Cheng glanced at the third uncle and said sarcastically,
"Third uncle, what's the matter? You said I was unkind when you entered the door, but in the end, it became your fault? Isn't it my duty to apologize to you?"
The third uncle felt annoyed when he heard Su Cheng's ridicule, and couldn't help but think about the third aunt again.
It's this old woman again, biting her ears in front of me. This time it's better, but she didn't reap the benefits, and she also offended someone.
The third uncle thought angrily, but in front of Su Cheng, he had to put on a frustrated smile and squeeze his face into a chrysanthemum.
"Shengzi, look at what you said. As the saying goes, adults don't remember the faults of villains, so don't worry about it with your third uncle, okay?"
Su Cheng glanced at the third uncle and said coldly,
"Third uncle, are you giving in now? Don't you threaten me to find a job for your family?"
When the third uncle heard this, he looked at Su Cheng flatteringly and said calmly,
"Shengzi, how can that be possible? I was blinded by lard before, why don't you just treat me like me?"
Su Cheng nodded noncommittally and said,
"Third uncle, since you have said so, it makes me look like a chicken. But~"
The third uncle listened to Su Cheng's words and just breathed a sigh of relief. However, hearing the change in Su Cheng's tone, his heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly,
"But what?"
Su Cheng glanced at the third uncle, paused and said,
"This is the same thing. Third uncle, you said you were introducing someone to me, but look at the Li Qiufang you introduced to me. She is wide and fat. Are you kidding me? Or do you think I am a good person?
You gave me less money and are you deliberately making me sick?"
The third uncle defended himself and said,
"Chengzi, I'm wondering if you like something plumper, even though Teacher Ran doesn't like you. And I've already told you that Teacher Li Qiufang is rounder and blessed. I don't object to you at all.
Just assume that you already know it in your mind."
Hey, you Yan Laoxi is pretending to be stupid for me right here, right?
Su Cheng heard this and sneered,
"Third uncle, did you accept money from Teacher Li Qiufang?"
When the third uncle heard Su Cheng's words, his face was filled with uncertainty, but he finally admitted,
"Chengzi, I did this unkindly."
Then he touched his pocket with a bit of pain, took out ten yuan, handed it to Su Cheng and said,
"This is the money given by the old lady. You should keep it first."
The third uncle took the money and did not do personnel matters, so Su Cheng felt at ease when he got his money back.
Then he glanced at the third uncle and mocked,
"Third uncle, you are really shrewd in your calculations!"
The third uncle said with a smile,
"Shengzi, look at what you said, I'm returning the money to you, and you have nothing to lose."
When Su Cheng heard this, he directly exposed the third uncle's careful thinking,
"Third uncle, did you accept Mr. Li's share of the money from the beginning and promised to introduce me to her? By the way, you can also ask for an extra share of the money from me. Even if I ask you to settle the score afterwards, you can't do anything.
It's just a matter of returning the money to me like this. Anyway, you won't lose anything, right?"
Seeing that Su Cheng had figured out his plan, the third uncle could only say frankly,
"Chengzi, you are the leader of the factory. You don't have to worry about food and drink. I have to support my family, so don't be like me."
"Third uncle, then I deserve to be tricked by you?"
Su Cheng sneered and said,
"You usually take advantage of me and I don't bother to argue with you, but today, if you don't come up with an explanation that satisfies me, I will send you to prison just with your false words!
"
What the third uncle did was equivalent to wandering in the gray area of the law. If Su Cheng held on to it, it would not be impossible to send him in.
When the third uncle saw that Su Cheng didn't look like he was joking, he immediately took Su Cheng's hand and begged,
"Chengzi, we are from the same compound, can you let me go this time? I will never dare to do it again!"
The third uncle said that he was about to kneel in front of Su Cheng, but Su Cheng stopped him.
Then the third uncle burst into tears and said,
"I just took twenty yuan from Teacher Li, and I will return the money to her later. Do you think so?"
Su Cheng usually lets the third uncle take advantage of him, but Su Cheng doesn't bother to worry about it.
But this time the third uncle used him as a bastard to make money and wanted to beat him up, Su Cheng couldn't bear it anymore.
Although Su Cheng didn't really want to send the uncle to prison, he still had to teach him a lesson, right?
At least the third uncle must not dare to plot against him in the future!
So Su Cheng thought for a while and said,
"Third uncle, of course you have to return this money! Let me tell you the truth, because of your plan, Teacher Li and I were very unhappy. You'd better explain it clearly to her in front of me. If Teacher Li is not satisfied
, you should go into the prison and squat, but don’t blame me for being unkind!"
Su Cheng didn't tell the third uncle about Li Qiufang's true background, so as not to cause trouble, and Li Qiufang didn't want Su Cheng to publicize it.
This incident happened because of the third uncle. If he had not set out to plot against Su Cheng and honestly introduced an ordinary blind date, even if he offended him, he would have offended him and Su Cheng would not have any concerns now.
Therefore, it is not too much for Su Cheng to ask the third uncle to wipe his ass for him.
When the third uncle saw that Su Cheng was willing to relent, he quickly said,
"Chengzi, don't worry about this. I will explain it to Teacher Li Qiufang and make sure she won't be dissatisfied with you."
Although the third uncle likes to scheme and take advantage, he is holding on to him at the moment and would not dare to mess with him in this matter. However, the matter is very important, Su Cheng still hammered,
"Third uncle, you'd better not cause any trouble for me, otherwise don't blame me for not respecting the friendship between neighbors!"
The third uncle said sarcastically,
"How can that be done?"
Explain clearly to Teacher Li Qiufang for yourself, this is what the third uncle should do in the first place, but tonight the third uncle thought about beating him up but he hasn't done that yet.
So Su Cheng followed and said,
"Third uncle, let's put this matter aside for now. Now that you know that Yuyu and I are in a relationship. Although Yuyu was engaged to someone before, after all, the groom's family hasn't paid a bride price yet. Don't we all pay attention to free love now?
If you break off the marriage, you'll break off the marriage, and no one can blame you, right? I'm afraid that if I get married to Yuyu, people in the courtyard will spread gossip, do you understand what I mean?"
The third uncle is also a human being, so how could he not understand what Su Cheng meant and immediately flatter him,
"Chengzi, don't worry about this. I'll let your third aunt explain He Yuyu's matter to the people in the courtyard in private, and I'll make sure no one will gossip about it then."
Seeing that the third uncle was so polite, Su Cheng also smiled and said,
"Third uncle, let's make an agreement then."
Then he took out five dollars from his pocket and handed it to the other party, saying,
"Third uncle, if you handle this matter well, I will compensate you with five yuan of matchmaking money later."
Even if Su Cheng didn't give him money, the third uncle still had to do his best to handle this matter, not to mention there was still money to collect. He was still a little dissatisfied at first, but now it disappeared. He took the money in his hand and said with gratitude,
"Chengzi, don't worry if you let the third uncle say anything good about you. If this matter doesn't go well, I won't have any complaints if you send me to prison."
Seeing that "something big has happened", Su Cheng was about to go home, but he didn't expect that there was a sudden commotion at Liu Ergen's house in the front yard, which was next to the third uncle's house.
The lights suddenly turned on in the dark room, and soon Liu Ergen was carrying a gray-haired old man on his back and hurried out of the door. Behind him, Aunt Ergen quickly covered the old man with a coat.
Seeing this, Su Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to lend a hand and asked,
"Aunt Ergen, what's wrong with Grandma Liu?"
Aunt Ergen was helping the old lady of the Liu family, glanced at Su Cheng, her eyes were red, and she said sadly,
