Xu Wude sighed helplessly, then put on a fake smile and said:
"Is it alright for Uncle Yangzi to call you that?"
"Actually, this is all a misunderstanding. Let's just let it go, okay?"
“Da Mao talks nonsense when he’s drunk. Today, he drank too much because Xiao’e wants to divorce him, which is why he’s yelling at us and saying all this nonsense.”
He was much more shameless than Xu Damao. Before Lin Yang could agree, he cheerfully said to everyone, "I'm sorry, neighbors. My son is just like that. When he drinks too much, he acts crazy and talks nonsense."
After saying that, Xu Wude slunk away with his wife, helping Xu Damao back into the house.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, everyone prepared to go home.
The deaf old woman, who had caught a small amount of flour and learned that Lou Xiao'e was divorced, was even more satisfied and went back to the backyard with Sha Zhu. On the way, she muttered that she wanted Sha Zhu to go after Lou Xiao'e.
Having just stretched his muscles, Sha Zhu was in a great mood and arrogantly declared that he wanted to marry a virtuous woman like Qin Huairu.
Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui also turned around and prepared to go back.
Liu Haizhong, on the other hand, walked up to Lin Yang with a cheerful smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"Yangzi, don't be angry. It's good that Xu Damao made such a fuss about this!"
“Otherwise, if you had gone to his house that night, and Lou Xiao’e had started a divorce, who knows what others would have thought if they found out.”
Lin Yang's mind raced, and he realized the same thing.
He secretly rejoiced, otherwise, if any rumors had spread and reached outsiders' ears, his position as section chief might have been in jeopardy.
After all, there must be quite a few people eyeing the position of head of the security department.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I'm not angry," Lin Yang said with a smile. "Why would I get angry with a drunkard?"
"That's right, that's the mindset," Liu Haizhong said cheerfully.
After realizing that all the neighbors had gone home and there was hardly anyone in the courtyard, he said softly, "Yangzi, I need to talk to you about something. Let's go inside and talk."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang's heart stirred, and he roughly guessed what Liu Haizhong wanted to do.
He pushed open the unlocked door, let Liu Haizhong in, and poured him water while asking with a puzzled look, "Second Uncle, what brings you here?"
"Don't bother, Yangzi." Liu Haizhong took out a cigarette, took one for himself, and handed one to Lin Yang before smiling and saying, "Actually, it's about that thing you mentioned when you came back from get off work."
"Oh?" Lin Yang took the cigarette while feigning ignorance, "What did I say?"
He was now certain that Liu Haizhong had come because of the patrol team leader's matter!
Liu Haizhong said with a fawning expression, "Yangzi, didn't you say that with Second Uncle's qualifications, it's possible to become a patrol team leader?"
"Oh!" Lin Yang said with a look of sudden realization, "So, Second Uncle, you wanted to talk to me about this!"
"Yes, yes, Yangzi, do you think this is certain?" Liu Haizhong rubbed his hands together and looked at Lin Yang with a hopeful expression.
Lin Yang shook his head and said:
"Second Uncle, I was just saying, how can we be sure about this!"
"Although this was proposed by me and Director Wang, and the patrol team was subsequently trained by us and the security personnel."
"But how can I guarantee that this spot and the team leader position will definitely be yours?"
Although he was refusing, Liu Haizhong was a worldly-wise man and immediately picked up on the key words in Lin Yang's words.
He was the one who proposed the idea, and he was also the one who trained the patrol team.
This is basically saying, "I have a way, but how can I help you if you just talk the talk?"
After all, if someone refuses directly, they won't say it so clearly; they'll always have excuses.
Liu Haizhong completely ignored Lin Yang's refusal and instead said with a smile:
"Yangzi, you know your second uncle just wants to be an official!"
"Isn't this patrol captain just the right fit for me!"
"To put it simply, the strength your uncle developed as a fitter is no joke!"
"If I go on patrol, no one on the streets will dare to cause trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang said with a hint of difficulty, "But this is not something I can decide on my own. I need to ask around."
"Ask! Go ask!" Liu Haizhong said decisively, "We definitely need to ask about this!"
As he spoke, Liu Haizhong quietly took out three hundred yuan from his pocket and placed it on Lin Yang's table, saying softly, "Yangzi, haven't you been feeling unwell lately? Your second uncle and aunt discussed it and didn't know what to buy for you. Please accept this as a token of our appreciation."
Seeing the three hundred yuan, Lin Yang said with a smile, "Second Uncle, you're very generous!"
“Yangzi, you’re not feeling well, how can you properly go and ask about things for your second uncle?”
Liu Haizhong looked at Lin Yang with a big smile.
When you ask someone for a favor, you can't expect to get paid.
He'd been in the factory for years, and he wanted to pay people to get promoted, but the problem was, he couldn't even find a temple to worship, no matter how hard he tried.
If Lin Yang can really handle this, then 300 yuan won't be much!
Looking at the three hundred yuan, Lin Yang nodded and said:
"Alright, Uncle, I'll take the money for now!"
"I'll ask around for you first, and if it goes well, I'll take the money and buy some things to check your health."
"If it doesn't work out, I won't be greedy and will return it to its rightful owner."
"Furthermore, we must make it clear that this money is just a small token of your appreciation to me, your junior, Second Uncle. I will not acknowledge it once we leave this house."
Liu Haizhong nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Second Uncle is still clear-headed about this."
After the discussion was completed, Liu Haizhong happily went back to his room.
