Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 47 Yi Zhonghai protects Silly Pillar

The deaf old lady had no choice but to rely on Yi Zhonghai.

The old lady left Yi Zhonghai's house.

That night, everyone was sleeping, but Yi Zhonghai did not.

I took the money and went to the pigeon market to buy two bottles of good wine.

Yi Zhonghai planned to send these two bottles of wine to Deputy Factory Director Li. Yi Zhonghai knew Deputy Factory Director Li, a person who would really do the job after receiving the gifts.

As long as Deputy Director Li accepts the things, the matter will be half done.

Deputy Director Li will not accept anything that cannot be done, and he still has a good reputation.

For some things, everyone likes to ask Deputy Director Li to do it.

Director Yang is an upright person. He will never accept gifts, so he will not do anything for you.

Director Yang only cares about himself. He doesn't care about other people's affairs as long as they don't affect his own interests.

The next morning, Yi Zhonghai left the courtyard early, carrying a black bag.

When he got to work, Yi Zhonghai sneaked into the office of Deputy Director Li.

After knocking on the door, Yi Zhonghai said, "Director Li, I'm Yi Zhonghai. Are you available now?"

When Deputy Director Li heard that it was Yi Zhonghai, he knew it was because of Sha Zhu’s matter.

"Come in."

Yi Zhonghai pushed the door open.

"Director Li, regarding He Yuzhu's case, can you be lenient with him?"

"Master Yi, you are an old man too. You should know that stealing supplies from the factory is a serious crime."

Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter, so Deputy Director Li still gives him face.

Yes, yes, it was true that Sha Zhu committed a serious mistake by stealing food from the cafeteria, but considering that it was Sha Zhu’s first offense and he had worked in the factory for so many years, even if he had no merits, he had worked hard.

Moreover, Sha Zhu’s cooking skills are pretty good, and the kitchen still cannot do without Sha Zhu, so let him come out first and let him make amends for his crime.

This is a small token of our appreciation, and we hope Director Li will take more care of it.

It is true that I still cannot do without Sha Zhu. No one can cook better than Sha Zhu.

Deputy Director Li decided to stop while he was ahead and gave Yi Zhonghai some face.

"Then let Shazhu come out to work first, but he will still be punished if he deserves it."

"This is the last time. Don't let Shazhu bring leftovers anymore."

"Director Li, rest assured. I will personally supervise this matter and will not let Sha Zhu make any more mistakes."

Yi Zhonghai made assurances again and again.

Deputy Director Li asked his secretary to take Yi Zhonghai to the security department to release him.

Soon, Sha Zhu was released.

When he saw Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu burst into tears.

"Uncle, that small dark room is really not a place for people to stay in. Besides, there was not even a sip of water for the whole night."

Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai complained.

"Okay, Zhuzi, follow me first."

The Security Department is not a place to talk, and he doesn't want Sha Zhu to say something wrong and get arrested again.

"Although you got out this time, don't let it happen again next time, otherwise it won't be so easy."

"Uncle, you said I was fined three months' salary, what should I do next?"

"Don't you have any savings?"

"Yes, there are, but only about a hundred or eighty."

"That's enough for you to live on."

Two people, one returned to the workshop and the other returned to the canteen.

Soon, Sha Zhu’s announcement came out.

Most people scolded Shazhu for stealing food, even though they couldn't eat that food.

Sha Zhu couldn't do anything about this, and he couldn't stop others.

Zhang Weiguo was not surprised to hear that Sha Zhu was released. Yi Zhonghai's eighth-level fitter status still gave him some prestige, and Zhang Weiguo knew Deputy Director Li too well.

As long as it is beneficial, he will do it for you.

Zhang Weiguo reported Sha Zhu because he didn't want the food to be eaten by the Jia family.

Now that Shazhu has been caught, he definitely won’t dare to take food anymore.

Without food, what will the Jia family eat?

After Shazhu was released, he became much more obedient and no longer dared to bring leftovers home.

Without the support of Sha Zhu's leftovers, the Jia family's food supply was significantly reduced.

Qin Huairu's attitude towards Sha Zhu also became much colder. She was no longer as enthusiastic as before and asked Sha Zhu to hold her hand.

In addition, Sha Zhu was fined three months' salary. During these three months, Sha Zhu had no money and had to spend his own money on food.

Qin Huairu also knew that she couldn't get the remaining money from Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu is considering whether to go to work in a factory now so that she can earn a few more dollars every month.

I need to discuss this matter with Yi Zhonghai.

In fact, the subsidy given by the factory to the Jia family is enough for them to eat, but recently the Jia family has become picky about Sha Zhu's lunch boxes.

Now they can no longer eat Sha Zhu's boxed lunches and can only eat steamed corn bread. How can Jia Zhang be happy with this? She scolds Sha Zhu every time she eats.

Bang Geng also followed suit.

It's not that the Jia family is short of money. Jia Dongxu's compensation is 500 yuan, plus the compensation from Jia Dongxu's father. How could they be short of money? It's just that Jia Zhang is such a weirdo that she won't give it out at all.

I can’t say how much more, but Jia Zhang had at least a thousand yuan in her hands.

In the entire courtyard, except for the first and second uncles, no one is richer than Jia Zhang.

Even Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are not as good as Jia Zhang.

Sha Zhu just couldn't save money, so the little money he had was taken away by Qin Huairu.

In other words, Xu Damao has Lou Xiaoe, and Lou Xiaoe has money, otherwise Xu Damao's money would not be enough for him to drink.

Not to mention visiting the young widow in the countryside from time to time.

Zhang Weiguo is the richest man in the entire courtyard, but others don’t know this.

All of Zhang Weiguo's supplies belonged to him, and all the money from the sales was in his hands.

The cash alone amounted to thirty-five thousand yuan.

Zhang Weiguo would give Ran Qiuye one hundred yuan of his salary every month.

I only kept fifty dollars for myself.

Ran Qiuye didn't know that Zhang Weiguo had a space, and Zhang Weiguo couldn't tell anyone.

There is no way to talk about this matter.

Zhang Weiguo kept the fifty yuan to dissuade others from suspicion.

If all the money was given to Ran Qiuye, where would he get the money to make some things on a daily basis? It couldn't be speculation.

Ran Qiuye only earns a dozen yuan a month.

She was still very happy that Zhang Weiguo could give her a hundred yuan.

Even if Zhang Weiguo didn't give it to her, she wouldn't say anything.

One hundred yuan is almost her annual salary, but she is still very content.

She knew that Zhang Weiguo earned 150 yuan a month.

She hides a hundred dollars every month.

She also knew that the courtyard house was not safe, and she had put a lot of thought into saving money.

In this day and age, depositing money in a bank is a very troublesome thing.

So, she divided the money into several places. Zhang Weiguo had already given her three months' salary, which was three hundred yuan.

She had a hundred dollars in the bank, a hundred dollars hidden at her parents' house, and a hundred dollars hidden in this house.

The three hundred yuan was divided into three places.

Even Zhang Weiguo didn't know where she hid the money.

That money is nothing to Zhang Weiguo, but it is a huge sum of money to Ran Qiuye.

Who can come up with three hundred dollars in cash now?

The largest denomination now is ten yuan.

One hundred yuan is equivalent to ten Great Unity tickets.
