After Weng Xiaozhu asked Li Cheng to treat her, Director Pi suddenly asked, "Boss Weng, what's your relationship with Lao Cheng? Why are you two asking him for a house?"
Weng Xiaozhu said, "I don't even know Old Cheng. It's Li Cheng who keeps nagging me about Old Cheng all day long, so I have to listen."
Director Pi was relieved and said, "Oh, then it's okay."
Weng Xiaozhu said, "It doesn't matter. What relationship can a man who lives with three mothers have with me?"
Director Pi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What did you say? A man living with three mothers?"
Weng Xiaozhu had a faint smile on her face, then glanced at Li Cheng and said, "You should ask him. He told me this."
Director Pi looked at Li Cheng. Li Cheng drank the tea slowly, but his expression became more and more solemn.
Li Cheng's behavior made Director Pi feel that Li Cheng was about to tell a tragic story.
Li Cheng put down his teacup and said slowly, "Director Pi, you don't know that there are such fools in this world. You have heard about what Old Cheng was like before, but can you believe it? He has been taking care of a woman who has no blood relationship with him for five years."
"Five years!"
When Li Cheng repeated these three words, he stretched out his palm and waved it in front of Director Pi.
"I guess these past five years have been tough for Old Cheng, haven't they? After all, he's not very caring. When he faced a woman in a wheelchair, it took him so much courage and mental strength to say, 'Auntie, let me take care of you from now on.'"
Director Pi was a little confused when he heard this, but Weng Xiaozhu's eyes were already wet.
"This is a mother who has no specific relationship with Lao Cheng. Lao Cheng took her into his home. Let's talk about the other two mothers. The relationship between these two mothers and Lao Cheng is much simpler. In fact, one is Lao Cheng's biological mother, and the other is the mother of Lao Cheng's biological mother------"
Before he could finish, Weng Xiaozhu complained, "Li Cheng, Director Pi is here, can't you just talk properly?"
Li Cheng curled his lips and said, "I can't help Old Cheng anyway, so I'll just talk to you anyway. Just let me talk enough."
Weng Xiaozhu glanced at him with some resentment, then turned to look at Director Pi and said with a smile, "Director Pi, don't blame him. That Old Cheng has become a source of worry for him."
Director Pi had already understood and knew that it was Old Cheng who lived with three mothers.
But he didn't know what this had to do with the house. Just as he was about to ask Li Cheng, he heard Li Cheng suddenly laugh and say, "Old Cheng is really stupid! He already takes care of two people in wheelchairs, and then another one is added. It's really like pushing one, and then pushing three. I just don't know how many hands Old Cheng has."
Director Pi understood again that the three mothers were all in wheelchairs.
Then, he heard Li Cheng say with emotion: "In fact, I admire such fools. If I encounter such a thing, I will also be such a fool. Of course, when I am such a fool, I will not refuse others' help.
In this regard, I am not as good as Lao Cheng. He doesn't want anyone to help him at all. It's all my fault that I want to help him get a house, even if it's an old house that no one else wants. In this way, Lao Cheng won't have to live in the side room in the yard------"
Li Cheng was truly moved when he said these words, so Weng Xiaozhu's eyes were wet again. However, Weng Xiaozhu still thought that Li Cheng's storytelling skills were quite high.
Director Pi finally understood what was going on. The Chengs' house was too small, so they were now living in a side room in the yard.
This side room------Director Pi, as the director of the infrastructure department, understood that most of these side rooms were originally used to store miscellaneous items. Not only were they small and dilapidated, but they were also cold in the winter and hot in the summer. How could people live there?
Director Pi felt that his basement was better than the side room where Lao Cheng lived.
"Okay, I'm done. I won't say any more. Now that I've talked about this, I won't feel so depressed anymore."
After saying that, Li Cheng placed the teacup back in front of Weng Xiaozhu and said, "Tea, please."
Weng Xiaozhu looked at him helplessly, then poured him a cup of tea. Li Cheng picked up the teacup and drank it with relish, as if what he had just said was a joke.
It seemed like a real joke, because he saw Director Pi had a smile on his face and was not moved at all by what Li Cheng said.
It's impossible to expect you to shed a few crocodile tears. Li Cheng thought to himself as he looked at him.
Director Pi wasn't interested in Old Cheng's "miserable life." He'd seen people with even harder lives than Old Cheng, but Old Cheng still had a job and a decent income. There were many laid-off people in this city, all with elderly parents and young children to support. Who would pity them?
Therefore, Lao Cheng’s story is useless to Director Pi.
However, Director Pi really wanted to get a house for Lao Cheng.
It wasn't that Director Pi had a conscience; it was Li Cheng who had brought up the house issue. Director Pi owed Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu a favor; not long ago, Weng Xiaozhu had even advanced him two hundred thousand yuan for gambling.
But Li Cheng could win the game but failed, this is a favor, a favor that Director Pi owes him.
So, no matter how good the story is, it’s useless. No matter what reason Li Cheng uses to ask for the house today, Director Pi will help.
Just when Li Cheng was thinking of another way to get Director Pi to agree to give him the house, Director Pi suddenly said, "Li Cheng, it's not difficult to get a house. I've said it before, I only recognize people, not people."
