"Wow!" Lin Yang couldn't help but look Liu Haizhong up and down. He didn't expect that this second uncle would have such tricks up his sleeve.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Second Uncle, do you have any ideas?"
At that very moment.
A dazed-looking man walked out of the courtyard while picking his teeth.
Upon seeing Lin Yang and Liu Haizhong, he couldn't help but call out, "Second Uncle, Yangzi, what are you doing here?"
"Shazhu?" Liu Haizhong was just about to tell Lin Yang about Yi Zhonghai and was feeling guilty when he suddenly heard Shazhu's voice behind him and was startled.
"Second Uncle, what are you and Yangzi chatting about at the gate instead of working?" Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai with a curious expression.
"I have something to discuss with Yangzi that I need to report back to you!" Liu Haizhong looked at Shazhu with displeasure.
"Why are you being so stingy!" Sha Zhu muttered speechlessly, then said with a grin, "Is there something good happening? Tell me about it!"
"Go away!" Liu Haizhong waved his hand impatiently and said, "You're everywhere. What good things could you possibly do? I came to find Yangzi to ask him to help me find out about the weekend patrol team assessment!"
"Tch!" Sha Zhu shook his head dismissively and said, "I thought it was something serious. You actually want the meager sums the patrol team gives you, Uncle Er?"
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and said with a smug look on his face, "Normally, no matter how much meat or grain coupons those people give me to help with family banquets, I don't bother with them. If you ask me, it's good to have a skill!"
"I'm telling you, Sha Zhu, shut up if you have nothing to say!" Liu Haizhong frowned and scolded, "You're always so unreliable. Yu Shui hasn't come back for over a week, and you, as her older brother, don't even think about going to look for her!"
"Why would I look for her! She's a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, she can live on her own!" Sha Zhu waved his hand dismissively and said, "Besides, it's not like I'm not going to bring her back. What can I do if she doesn't want to come back on her own?"
A while ago.
It was because the deaf old woman told him that she was lacking food and wanted to eat meat.
He gave the food he brought back from the cafeteria to the deaf old lady, but didn't leave any for He Yushui.
After arguing with him, He Yushui ran away from home and hasn't returned for more than ten days.
However, Sha Zhu wasn't worried. In his opinion, He Yushui would naturally know to come back for food after being hungry for a few days.
Moreover, the Third Uncle and He Yushui continued their studies, but their whereabouts were unknown after school.
Therefore, Sha Zhu was even less worried.
So after he finished speaking, he waved his hand impatiently at the two of them and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about rain anymore! Second Uncle, Yangzi, I won't bother you anymore, I'm going to work!"
Looking at Sha Zhu's carefree attitude, Liu Haizhong was also a little speechless.
"That girl Yushui is so unlucky to have such an unreliable father and brother!"
Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Lin Yang was speechless.
Judging from Sha Zhu's attitude towards He Yushui.
It's no wonder that after He Yushui went to high school, she would stay in the dormitory for weeks at a time and never wanted to return to this courtyard.
My older brother neglected me when I was young, and once I almost starved to death.
During this time, because of hunger, he couldn't help but run to the deaf old woman's side and stare longingly as she ate.
As a result, the old man scared He Yushui away with a loud shout.
After this incident, it would be strange if He Yushui had a good impression of the deaf old woman.
But her brother, Shazhu, was tricked by Yi Zhonghai into acting as the deaf old woman's grandmother.
This has kept He Yushui and Sha Zhu's relationship very strained!
However, the next sentence in the bangs made his heart skip a beat.
"He Daqing is really heartless! He's been running off with Widow Bai for so many years and hasn't even thought of coming back to visit! He hasn't even sent any money back. If it weren't for us old men in charge taking it in and calling on everyone to donate money, and then handing the He family over to Lao Yi to take care of them, I don't know if those two would have survived."
Didn't you pay?
Lin Yang thought to himself, "Something's not right!"
Why did the Qing Dynasty mention in its letter to Yi Zhonghai that it would send ten yuan to Sha Zhu and He Yushui every month?
How come the money is gone by the time I get here?
And the money used to take care of Sha Zhu and He Yushui became money donated by all the neighbors.
But Lin Yang didn't make a fuss about it. Instead, he laughed it off and said, "It's not our place to interfere in Sha Zhu's family affairs. Second Uncle, why don't you tell us your solution?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Haizhong nodded hurriedly, then turned back to look at the doorway and pointed warily to the alleyway ahead, saying, "Yangzi, let's talk as we walk!"
"Okay!" Lin Yang nodded in agreement.
After getting a little further away from the courtyard house, Liu Haizhong said mysteriously:
"Old Yi often deliberately suppresses his apprentices; if they don't give him gifts, he won't let them participate in the assessment!"
"Furthermore, he often beats and scolds his apprentices while working, causing them to lack confidence whenever they participate in assessments!"
"There were even apprentices who, after passing the assessment, would deliberately go to the factory leaders and say that he was not yet qualified and needed further training, and that it would be best not to promote him yet!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang clicked his tongue in amazement.
Goodness, Yi Zhonghai is really good at hiding his true colors!
They appear righteous and awe-inspiring, but secretly they're doing this.
Isn't this just like some unscrupulous professors in later generations who abuse their power to exploit graduate students?
These unscrupulous mentors relentlessly use language and even intimidation to tame their apprentices or students into free labor and money.
The only difference is that these unscrupulous supervisors force graduate students to work day and night on research materials and speeches, and threaten them with grades and diplomas if they disobey.
Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, openly and blatantly accepted bribes; if you don't give me money, then don't even think about getting promoted.
Lin Yang looked at Liu Haisheng and frowned, saying, "Second Uncle, you're not lying to me, are you? You know this is no small matter!"
This man is obsessed with becoming an official; he's willing to do anything to get one.
He certainly wouldn't feel any guilt about framing Yi Zhonghai.
"Yangzi, how could your second uncle possibly lie to you!" Liu Haizhong quickly explained:
"I discovered this by chance!"
“I once went to the workshop to find Lao Yi and saw that one of his apprentices, who was still a level 2 worker, was skilled enough to be promoted to level 4 worker!”
"I was just joking around with Lao Yi, saying that his teaching skills to his apprentice were really good, and that a level two worker could be used as a level four worker. Why didn't he take the assessment?"
"Who knew that Old Yi would look displeased and say that his apprentice still needed more training and would not participate in the assessment for the time being!"
"A few days later, that apprentice mysteriously appeared in our yard, and the next day I found that Old Yi's family had started eating meat!"
"That apprentice also took the exam in the end and was promoted to a fourth-level worker."
