Wang Aimin's face darkened instantly. His skinny fingers unconsciously rubbed the corners of his clothes. After a long while, he finally managed to say, "Is there really no way?"
"You can use the back door, but why can't your family members..."
His voice was trembling, and it seemed as if he had used up all his strength to squeeze out these words.
Wang Caigu, who was standing by, looked at her eldest brother's hunched back, her eyes reddened again, and she complained softly, "Brother, how can you say that about Xiao Wei? He became the president through his own ability, not through backdoor connections."
"Ability?" Wang Aimin suddenly became excited. "He has ability, so can't he help his family? Do you know how your sister-in-law scolds me every day? She says I'm useless and can't even rely on my own nephew!"
He suddenly loosened his collar, revealing several dark red scratches on his neck, "This is all because of her this morning! I...I can't do anything about it!"
Zhao Wei's heart trembled. The scars were so deep that bleeding appeared and had already formed scabs, which stung his eyes and made them sore.
He was well aware of his uncle's cowardice in front of his aunt, but at this moment he felt more helpless.
"Uncle, there are assessment standards for each position in the team. If I open this loophole, how can I convince everyone in the future?"
He paused, and suddenly remembered something. "However, the commune will hold a night school for literacy in a while. If my cousin is willing to learn, I will find a way after he can read."
Wang Aimin's eyes lit up, then dimmed again: "Learn? Your sister-in-law won't let him waste his time..."
"Besides, I'm so busy during the day, but at night, as soon as it gets dark, I sleep like a dead pig. Sigh..."
Before he finished speaking, a sharp shout of abuse suddenly came from outside the courtyard: "Wang Aimin! You are a traitor! Sure enough, you come here to deliver chickens!"
My aunt came in with her hands on her hips. She glanced at the live chicken on the ground and instantly became furious: "Great! I knew you were hiding something good! Are you pretending to be generous in front of outsiders?"
"Zhao Wei, don't think you are great just because you are the president. Not everyone can eat the chicken in my house. Unless you can help your cousin, I will give it to you reluctantly..."
"Enough!" Wang Caigu couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to protect her elder brother.
"Hasn't it been enough that you have bullied my brother for so many years? Today is my birthday, and you have to make trouble?"
My aunt was stunned by this roar, and then she started to throw a tantrum, sitting on the ground and slapping her thighs: "What a rebellion! Why is my life so miserable!"
"Wang Aimin, if you don't take the chicken back today, I will crash into the ground and die here!"
Zhao Wei felt a terrible headache when he saw the mess on the ground.
It was a great birthday, but these people made it a mess.
He stepped forward, snatched the chicken from Zhao Yong's hand, and threw it to his aunt.
"I'll give you the chicken back. We don't need it. Please go back home and make trouble. Don't make people unhappy here!"
I didn't expect that it would be so easy to get the chicken back. My aunt opened her mouth in disbelief and for a moment she even forgot what she was here for.
"Aunt, I know you want to give my cousin a way out, but taking the wrong path will only harm him."
"As long as you can stick with the commune's night school for a year or so and learn something useful, you will be given priority when the team recruits you in the future."
…
"You old thing, look at all these weird relatives of yours, none of them are useful to you. Ugh!"
The aunt's hand was still pulling Wang Aimin's hair, but her eyes were staring straight at Zhao Wei with resentment in them.
Obviously, she didn't agree with studying or anything like that, and just wanted to see the benefits now, so she arranged for the person to work in the commune and get subsidies immediately.
Zhao Wei could only continue to persuade him earnestly.
"My cousin is young and strong. He works during the day and learns to read at night. In half a year, he will be able to read newspapers and keep accounts. By then, not only in the commune, but also in the county town, we can help him find a decent job. Isn't it better than now?"
"Hmph, that's easy to say!" The aunt let go of Wang Aimin's hand and sat down on the doorstep. "How can he have that kind of patience? If he can't learn it, it will be a waste of effort!"
Wang Aimin took the opportunity to get up and carefully approached his wife: "Wife, Xiao Wei is our nephew, how can he harm us? Look at his yard, the bluestone tiles and glass windows, didn't he earn all of them himself?"
These words touched my aunt's heart. She secretly looked at the magnificent courtyard and muttered in her throat: "If I can't learn well..."
"If you don't study well, it's my fault!" Zhao Wei said firmly, "I will personally check my cousin's homework every week. If he slacks off, I will be the first one to punish him!"
Then he took out a brand new notebook and pencil and said, "This is for my cousin. Tell him to sign up tomorrow."
That's all he can do to help.
If their family still doesn't want to accept it, then it really can't be blamed on him.
"To be honest, I won't be in this position of president for long. Someone will be appointed soon and I will be fired."
"When the time comes, my cousin will be alone in the commune and he might be bullied."
In fact, the people in the commune are pretty nice and don’t have so many evil intentions.
But Zhao Wei made the situation sound more serious just to scare the family.
Sure enough, when he heard that Zhao Wei would soon abdicate and make way for the wise queen, his attitude changed drastically.
My aunt suddenly stood up from the threshold, a trace of panic flashing in her cloudy eyes: "Are you serious? Why are you being pulled down for no reason?"
She grabbed Wang Aimin's arm and shook it vigorously, "It's all your fault! I really thought your nephew had stood up, but it turns out he's just a silver-plated wax spear head."
Wang Aimin was staggering, but he still protected Zhao Wei: "Wife, Xiao Wei has had a hard time, please stop making sarcastic remarks."
"Tsk, useless thing!" The aunt spat, then turned and stared at Zhao Wei suspiciously, "You said you want to be masturbated, what proof do you have? Don't try to fool us!"
Zhao Wei was well prepared and took out a cowhide envelope from his arms - this was the transfer notice he had asked the other family to help him get.
A bright red seal was stamped on the yellowed paper. My aunt couldn't read, but she was intimidated by the color of the seal. She stretched her neck to look at it for a long time: "Then...then you were masturbated, what about your cousin?"
"While I can still speak, night school is the best opportunity."
Zhao Wei sighed deliberately and put the envelope back, "If we miss this opportunity, when the new president comes, who will care about our relationship?"
He caught a glimpse of Wang Aimin secretly winking at his wife and knew that this trick had worked.
My aunt suddenly rushed over and grabbed the chicken from the ground, glaring at her husband: "It's all your fault! You gave the chicken away, and you're so embarrassed!"
Then he turned to Zhao Wei and groaned, "Since you said so, let your cousin try. If he can't learn it, you have to convert this time into food and return it to us!"
Wang Aimin's face instantly broke into a smile, and he rubbed his hands and said repeatedly: "I would like to thank my nephew first!!"
Zhao Wei felt sad when he saw his uncle trying to please him. He took out five kilograms of food coupons and stuffed them in his uncle's pocket: "Buy some food for your cousin. He needs to study hard tonight."
Alas...what kind of relatives are they!
