Siheyuan: Master of the Fire, Eating Watermelons Online

Chapter 91 The God of Wealth in the Siheyuan is none other than the eldest uncle!

As the system rewarded another 500 melon-eating points, after spending 10,000, only 500 melon-eating points were left, and it returned to more than 1,000 again.

Noticing this situation, Wang Weiguo couldn't help rubbing his hands.

Let’s draw another prize!
In order to save up points to buy intermediate cooking skills, Wang Weiguo had been restraining his desire to draw lots. Now that his goal has been achieved, he naturally wants to indulge himself.

"lottery!"

Opening the lottery interface of the system mall, Wang Weiguo muttered to himself.

soon.

As the lottery ended, the results of the lottery came out.

[Congratulations to the host for winning 20 kilograms of premium Longjing tea]

nice!
Seeing this result, Wang Weiguo couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Although it’s not a special or valuable prize, tea is also a good thing.

The key is that it is cheaper than buying directly from the system mall.

Ordinary tea is not expensive, with a pound costing only fifty yuan, but the price of fine tea, especially famous tea, is several times higher.

In those days, tea was a good thing. Each household was supplied with a limited amount of it each month, with tickets required. The fixed amount was only one or two taels, and people might not even be willing to buy it.

For ordinary people, let alone tea leaves, it would be great if they could have some tea crumbs to drink.

Cigarettes, alcohol, tea and sugar represent not only the standard and quality of life, but also face.

After work.

Wang Weiguo rode his bicycle directly back to the courtyard.

After entering the front yard and putting the bicycle back into the house, Wang Weiguo came to the middle yard, ready to find an old man to "withdraw money".

"Hey, Yushui, you came back so early today. Aren't you staying with your brother in the hospital?"

As soon as he stepped into the central courtyard, Wang Weiguo saw He Yushui washing clothes at the sink and immediately asked her a question.

Because Sha Zhu was in the hospital, He Yushui took leave from school in recent days. He stayed in the hospital during the day to take care of Sha Zhu and usually came back late at night, so Wang Weiguo asked this question.

"Wang Weiguo, my brother has been discharged from the hospital."

Hearing Wang Weiguo's voice, He Yushui raised his head and a smile appeared on his face.

To be honest, she hasn't had much contact with Wang Weiguo these days.

But as the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. During the time that his brother was in the hospital, there were only a few people who expressed concern, and most of them were just verbal expressions of concern. The only ones who really took action were the uncle and Wang Weiguo. Therefore, He Yushui's impression of Wang Weiguo changed a lot.

"Oh? So fast?"

When Wang Weiguo heard He Yushui say that Sha Zhu had been discharged from the hospital, he was a little surprised.

If Wang Weiguo remembered correctly, this Sha Zhu had at least two broken ribs. It is said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but it has only been less than a week.

Hearing this, He Yushui said helplessly: "There is no other way. The cost of hospitalization every day is too much..."

"Isn't your brother a cook at the steel mill? Shouldn't he get medical treatment for free?"

After hearing He Yushui talk about the difficulty of spending money on medical treatment, Wang Weiguo couldn't help but feel puzzled.

During this period, state organs, people's organizations and public institutions implemented the "public medical system", and medical expenses were allocated by the state treasury on a per capita basis. Urban enterprise employees implemented the "labor insurance medical system", which was borne by the "enterprise employee welfare fund" which was a combination of enterprise medical and health expenses, welfare expenses and reward funds.

Simply put, civil servants and urban workers do not need to spend a penny when they are sick, and even their relatives can enjoy semi-labor insurance or unified medical care.

As a worker in a steel rolling mill, Sha Zhu naturally enjoyed this treatment.

Facing Wang Weiguo's doubts, He Yushui explained: "That's true, but my brother's current condition mainly depends on his own recovery. There is no need for him to stay in the hospital all the time. It will be more convenient to take care of him if he is brought back."

In fact, He Yushui didn’t say one thing.

Although Sha Zhu does not have to pay for his medical treatment out of his own pocket, he still needs to pay the medical expenses for hospitalization first and then ask the factory to reimburse him later.

The money that Yi Zhonghai had paid in advance was no longer enough. She paid some more later, but it was almost used up, so she had no choice but to be discharged from the hospital.

The key point is that in Sha Zhu's situation, there is really no need for him to stay in the hospital all the time. Even if the medical expenses can be reimbursed, the hospital will not let him occupy the ward all the time if he is eligible to be discharged.

When Wang Weiguo heard this, he felt relieved.

After chatting with He Yushui for a few more sentences, Wang Weiguo learned that Xu Damao was also discharged from the hospital today, but was picked up by his parents.

Wang Weiguo understood instantly.

Given Xu Damao's current condition, he definitely cannot return to the Siheyuan, otherwise his injuries would most likely be hidden. He can only go to Xu's father's place to recuperate first.

After all, Liu Fang had been taken back by her family to recuperate two days earlier.

Even if Xu Damao returned to the courtyard, there would be no one to take care of him.

Liu Fang had a miscarriage and suffered considerable physical damage. She also needed someone to take care of her. Her family was worried about her, so she was taken back to her parents' home.

People in the hospital were very "concerned" about the situation of these three people and would talk about it during their after-dinner chats.

However, they only knew that Liu Fang was injured by mistake, and Sha Zhu and Xu Damao started fighting again after arriving at the hospital, and were both hospitalized later.

The same is true for He Yushui.

There are only a few people in the hospital who truly understand the actual situation. Yi Zhonghai and Wang Weiguo will definitely not tell anyone. Even if Jia Dongxu, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi want to say it, they don't have the courage to do so.

After all, if you can't control your mouth and people from the Xu and Liu families find out, that will be no small matter.

They can only watch the joke behind their backs.

Just seeing that Sha Zhu was discharged from the hospital so smoothly and was not "troubled" by the hospital security department, Wang Weiguo was also curious about what kind of help Yi Zhonghai had put in.

Wang Weiguo does not feel this is magical, but rather a reality.

From ancient times to the present, there are more than just Sha Zhu who have gotten away with it.

Not to mention that nowadays, when we rely more on "rule by man", many legal systems have not yet been established and improved.

Thinking of the important business, Wang Weiguo didn't chat much with He Yushui and went straight to the east wing where Yi Zhonghai was.

"Uncle, are you home?"

The door was not closed. While Wang Weiguo knocked on the door, he subconsciously took a look inside.

In the room.

Yi Zhonghai, who had been waiting for a long time, heard Wang Weiguo's voice, took a deep breath, and then said: "Come in!"

"Auntie, you are here too!"

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Weiguo saw the middle-aged woman next to Yi Zhonghai and greeted her with a bright smile: "Have you eaten?"

"ate……"

Faced with Wang Weiguo's enthusiasm, the old lady felt a little uncomfortable.

This……

A few days ago, Wang Weiguo was confronting their family, how come he became like a different person in the blink of an eye?

Unsure of Wang Weiguo's thoughts, the aunt took the initiative to ask: "Weiguo, what are you doing here so late at night?"

"Eh? Didn't Auntie and Uncle tell you?"

Glancing at the aunt, Wang Weiguo said seriously, "The day before my parents went to the Northwest to help with construction, an uncle came to my house and borrowed 500 yuan. I'm here to pay you back."

"What?"

“Five hundred dollars!!”

"Wang Weiguo, when did our family ever ask you to borrow 500 yuan?"

"That's not true, you can't blackmail me!"

"If you have one, show me the IOU."

"..." When the aunt heard that her family owed Wang Weiguo 500 yuan, and that it was their husband Yi who came to borrow the money before Wang Weiguo's parents left for the northwest, she couldn't sit still.

She had no idea about such a big thing.

If this was true, Yi Zhonghai would definitely not hide it from her.

And considering their family's financial situation, is it necessary for them to go to Wang Weiguo to borrow money?
I borrowed 500 yuan at once...

Nowadays, who would borrow 500 yuan at once?

Jia Dongxu’s previous 100 was already incredible.

"Auntie, you can't deny this!" Wang Weiguo glanced at the silent Yi Zhonghai and chuckled, "Uncle, tell me yourself, is this true?"

"Lao Yi..."

The old lady, who had not believed it at all, looked at Yi Zhonghai immediately when she saw Wang Weiguo being so confident.

Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly when he saw this, and said directly to the lady, "Go and get 500 yuan."

No answer is better than any answer.

Yi Zhonghai's actions have confirmed the existence of this matter.

But the aunt was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Lao Yi, when did you borrow so much money from them? How come I didn't know about it?"

“Go get the money!”

Faced with the questioning of the old lady, Yi Zhonghai did not explain, but frowned.

The lady immediately lowered her head, realizing that she had just said too much.

Yi Zhonghai has always had the final say on important family matters, and he has never had the power to interfere.

But the aunt still felt very confused.

If Yi Zhonghai really borrowed these 500 yuan from the Wang family, it would be impossible that I only heard about it now.

Even though she had no say at home, Yi Zhonghai would never hide anything from her.

But now Yi Zhonghai was obviously a little angry. The aunt knew that now was not the time to dwell on this matter, so she could only go back to the inner room to get the money.

Soon.

The lady who came out after withdrawing the money had a thick stack of big black tens in her hand.

"Weiguo, please click."

After taking the 500 yuan from the old lady and handing it to Wang Weiguo, Yi Zhonghai could not help but remind her: "Weiguo, take the 500 yuan back. The matter of me borrowing money from your family is over. Let's settle the accounts between our two families, right?"

Knowing that Yi Zhonghai was worried, Wang Weiguo counted the money after he got it, smiled and looked up and said, "How about this, I write a receipt for you, uncle?"

Obvious.

Just now Yi Zhonghai seemed to be talking about owing money to their family, but actually he was referring to the matter of He Daqing sending money.

"No need for a receipt. I trust you."

Wang Weiguo asked for a receipt, but Yi Zhonghai thought about it and finally refused.

Given Wang Weiguo's character, he would definitely not leave any handle for himself. This receipt is just a receipt. It has no use at all except to prove that he had "borrowed" the 500 yuan from the Wang family and had already paid it back.

Is this the proof he needs?

Wang Weiguo counted the money and happily put it into his pocket, saying with a smile: "It's five hundred yuan, yes. If you don't want a receipt, forget it. I'm too lazy to write one."

He just said it casually.

However, if Yi Zhonghai really wanted it, he wouldn't mind writing a receipt and letting him keep it as a "souvenir".

After taking 500 yuan from others, you can't let Yi Zhonghai end up with nothing, right?
however.

Wang Weiguo's words made Yi Zhonghai's face turn dark.

Even if you really don't want to write, you don't have to say it in person, right?

Moreover.

If you don't want to write, why did you ask him just now?
"Weiguo, please don't complain about the 500 yuan I paid you back this time."

Watching Wang Weiguo put away the five hundred yuan, Yi Zhonghai reminded him again.

Hearing this, Wang Weiguo was stunned.

Yi Zhonghai's reminder made Wang Weiguo feel a little strange.

But after thinking about it, Wang Weiguo quickly understood.

Because he gave him a bicycle ticket last time, Yi Zhonghai's family assets were almost exposed. He had no choice but to pretend to be poor in public. Even when he paid back the money for Jia Dongxu later, he only paid back half of it.

If in the blink of an eye everyone knew that he could give another 500 yuan to Wang Weiguo, how would they look at him?

Especially his apprentice Jia Dongxu.

Sheng Mien, fight against Mien.

Yi Zhonghai is very clear about this principle.

"Uncle, what you said is..."

Wang Weiguo shook his head after recalling the past and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Two years ago, my family lent you money. Now you are paying it back. Isn't this just a matter of course? What's so shameful about it?

Besides, if this matter gets out, it will reflect the friendship and mutual help among neighbors in our courtyard!"

Originally, Wang Weiguo hadn’t thought so much about it, but as soon as Yi Zhonghai reminded him, Wang Weiguo thought of it.

"Wang Weiguo, what do you want?"

After hearing what Wang Weiguo said, Yi Zhonghai's face turned ugly, and he obviously realized that something was wrong.

"Uncle, I just remembered that when you borrowed the money, did you also say that the 500 yuan you borrowed would be calculated according to the bank's interest? Is that true?"

Wang Weiguo would not refuse the "interest" that Yi Zhonghai offered to him.

Thanks to Yi Zhonghai's "reminder", otherwise Wang Weiguo would not have thought of this.

"you……"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he pointed at Wang Weiguo's nose and wanted to curse him, but he couldn't say anything.

It was obvious that Wang Weiguo just wanted to take the opportunity to extort more money from him.

What’s the difference between this and highway robbery?
His expression kept changing. Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth, but in the end he didn't have the courage to burn his boats. He compromised and said, "Weiguo, the bank's fixed interest rate has been around 8% in the past two years. How about 500 yuan for two years and I give you 80% interest?"

If Wang Weiguo took the 500 yuan to write something, it would be one thing for people in the hospital to think of him. But what really worried Yi Zhonghai was that Jia Dongxu would develop a master-disciple rift with him.

Before, Jia Dongxu asked him to borrow money to pay off his debts. He obviously had the money but he kept it hidden. In the end, he "pretended to be a good guy" and paid back fifty cents for him, "causing" his family to use sewing machines to pay off the debt. This is unacceptable.

Even if he could find a reason to explain it, whether Jia Dongxu believed it or not was another matter.

Once a gap is created, it is difficult to eliminate it.

The key point is that there is a Wang Weiguo making trouble nearby, how can he not be worried?

Helpless Yi Zhonghai could only choose to spend money to avoid disaster again.

Compared with Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai attaches more importance to Jia Dongxu, and there cannot be any problems here.

"A great uncle is in a good mood."

Wang Weiguo was naturally not dissatisfied with getting 80 yuan for free, and gave Yi Zhonghai a thumbs up.

Yi Zhonghai did not feel happy at all after receiving Wang Weiguo's affirmation. Instead, he became even more upset.

Wanting Wang Weiguo to get out as soon as possible, Yi Zhonghai did not hesitate at all and immediately asked an old lady to fetch another 80 yuan and handed it to Wang Weiguo as if it were a hot potato.
