Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 357 Solution

After hearing what Liu Lihua said, He Yuanchao didn't waste any time. As soon as he sat down, he told the whole story of Zhang Zhao from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Liu Lihua's smile faded and her brows slightly frowned.

He Yuanchao felt nervous when he saw this, and asked, "Mom, is this matter embarrassing for you?"

"It's not a big deal."

Liu Lihua relaxed her brows, thought for a moment, and then said to He Yuanchao in a serious tone, "The matter of Yuanchao can be big or small. Even if you use your connections to avoid recording it in the archives, it is still a stain on yourself and is extremely detrimental to your future development.

You must learn from this experience. Tell your mother if you need anything in the future, and never reach out for the organization’s money or property..."

In fact, Liu Lihua was still very confident about He Yuanchao's character, and she was using this incident today to give him a shot of prevention. She didn't want her godson to ruin his bright future for a little bit of profit.

A loud drum does not need a heavy hammer to be struck. Seeing He Yuanchao nodding repeatedly as he listened, Liu Lihua stopped talking about this topic and turned to talk about Zhang Zhao.

"Did your father-in-law and mother-in-law say to what extent they want to accomplish this?"

Judging from Liu Lihua's words, she was obviously willing to help. He Yuanchao did not hesitate and told Zhang Lide everything he was thinking.

Liu Lihua nodded and said, "Although your father-in-law is a bit snobbish, he still does things in a very methodical way."

After saying that, he stood up and said to He Yuanchao, "Come on, follow me to the study to call your uncle."

Knowing that He Yuanchao was anxious to hear the news, Liu Lihua did not waste any time. She went to the study, called Liu Zhenhua in the General Staff Department's Family Compound, and explained the situation directly.

Although He Yuanchao did not hear clearly what Liu Zhenhua said on the phone, as soon as his godmother Liu Lihua asked about the address and number of Zhang Zhao's unit, he knew that there should be no problem with this matter.

Just as he thought, Liu Lihua put down the phone and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your uncle promised to help talk to them. If it's fast, we can give you definite news in a while. If we can't find someone to talk to, we can get news tomorrow morning at the latest."

He Yuanchao couldn't help but reveal an anxious look on his face when he heard this. He hoped that Liu Zhenhua could quickly find someone to help resolve the matter as soon as possible.

The mother and daughter have known each other for some time, but this is the first time that Liu Lihua has seen He Yuanchao lose his usual composure in front of her.

"Oh! This matter of your own uncle is different. Look how anxious you are."

In the face of Liu Lihua's teasing, He Yuanchao didn't take it seriously at all, but he also casually explained the reason for his anxiety.

"Mom, you don't know. When Zhang Min heard that my uncle was in trouble, she was extremely anxious. I'm not worried about anything else, but I'm afraid that she will get angry and something bad will happen to her."

Upon hearing this, Liu Lihua also reacted. She was so busy with Zhang Zhao's affairs that she actually forgot about Zhang Min's pregnancy.

"I heard from your sister Ting that you went to the Union Hospital for a checkup tonight. What did the doctor say? Is there anything you need to pay attention to?"

"The doctor said Zhang Min is in good health and should be fine if she gets more rest. But he specifically told her to be careful in the first three months..."

……

Before the mother and daughter had said a few words, the phone on Chen Cheng's desk rang. "I guess your uncle should have settled the matter."

As Liu Lihua spoke, she picked up the phone with a smile and said into the receiver: "Hello, where is it?"

After confirming that it was Liu Zhenhua who called, Liu Lihua didn't hesitate to ask directly: "Brother, is there any result in Zhang Zhao's matter?"

He Yuanchao was a little far away from the phone and didn't hear clearly what was said, but when he saw that Liu Lihua's smile suddenly disappeared from her face, his heart tightened involuntarily and he hurriedly moved closer to the desk.

At this time, after listening to what Liu Zhenhua said on the phone, Liu Lihua asked tentatively: "Brother, can't you talk to them and try to let Zhang Zhao stay in the army? If not, changing places is better than directly retiring!"

He Yuanchao was standing next to Liu Lihua at this time and could already hear what Liu Zhenhua said on the other end of the phone.

"Lihua, it's not that I won't help you. You know that supplies are in short supply everywhere right now. Zhang Zhao just ran into trouble this time. If we hadn't called earlier, the army would have made an example of him. Now that he can be transferred to civilian work without being punished, it's the best outcome."

Liu Lihua didn't expect Zhang Zhao's matter to be so difficult, but since her elder brother Liu Zhenhua had said so much, there must be no room for maneuver. She didn't dwell on the matter anymore. She said a few words about Chen Ting and Zhang Min's pregnancy and then hung up the phone.

"You've heard what your uncle said. This is the best we can do about Zhang Zhao."

After hearing Liu Lihua's slightly apologetic words, He Yuanchao hurriedly smiled and said, "Mom, this is already very good. It is exactly what my father-in-law wants. It saves me the inconvenience of disciplining my son who is far away."

Seeing that He Yuanchao was still in the mood to joke, Liu Lihua knew that this result had met her son's expectations, so she stopped taking the matter to heart.

The mother and daughter returned to the living room and chatted for a while about Chen Ting and Zhang Min's pregnancy. Seeing that it was getting late, He Yuanchao spoke up:

"I wanted to wait to meet my godfather, but my family is still waiting to hear from me. Mom, I'm going back now. I'll bring Zhang Min here when I'm free."

Liu Lihua knew that He Yuanchao's family didn't have a phone, and guessed that Zhang Lide and his wife were both there at the moment, so she didn't try to keep him.

After standing up and taking a bunch of things she had prepared for Zhang Min, she sent He Yuanchao out the door.

Although He Yuanchao knew before that power was a good thing, this incident once again gave him an intuitive understanding of power.

He himself did not realize that the desire to hide when he first came through was gradually fading away.

Carrying his things, He Yuanchao walked out of the family compound and looked at the time.

"Wow! Time flies. Almost an hour has passed in the blink of an eye. My father-in-law Zhang Lide and my family must be extremely anxious right now."

Thinking of this, He Yuanchao did not dare to dawdle and quickened his pace towards the gate of the family compound.

By the time Zhang Lide, who was sitting in the jeep, saw He Yuanchao carrying large and small bags, fifteen or sixteen minutes had passed.

Looking at the cigarette butts scattered around the car window, He Yuanchao got in the car and said, "Dad, it's almost done. Let's talk about the rest when we get back."

Hearing this, Zhang Lide knew that Zhang Zhao's problem should be solved, and he finally put his mind at ease. After telling the driver to "go back to Chuanban Hutong", he leaned back in the car seat with his whole body relaxed and squinted his eyes.
