The news of Wei Hua's impending promotion was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating endless ripples. Everyone reacted differently upon learning of Wei Hua's promotion. Those who had a relatively good relationship with Wei Hua rushed to offer their congratulations. As for those who didn't get along with Wei Hua, they were all trying to take advantage of the situation.
The He and Xu families both expressed their goodwill, and Xu Damao and He Yuzhu each sent some gifts to the Wei family. As for the others, they did not take any action.
Because the others were barely able to make ends meet, they had nothing to give away. They only wanted to take advantage of Wei Hua, never thinking of giving anything in return.
The first person to come knocking was none other than Qin Huairu. Because Qin Huairu was now completely destitute. She didn't know how much longer she could hold on. Without the steel mill's subsidies, she wouldn't have lasted even a week.
Now that she was basically at her wit's end, Qin Huairu didn't care much anymore. Upon learning that Wei Hua was going to be promoted, she went straight to the Intermediate People's Court.
"Hua Zi, Sister Qin congratulates you on becoming the workshop director. You're the most promising person in the entire courtyard. Now that you're about to return to Fang Chengda, could you please help me out of our past relationship? I really can't make ends meet anymore. If I could, I would never have asked you for help."
“If it weren’t for the subsidies from the steel mill, I don’t know how I would manage. Didn’t you help my cousin find a job last time? Could you help me find one too? Even a temporary job would be fine.”
"I know that with my current position, it's basically impossible for me to become a permanent employee. Could you help me get a temporary job? As the workshop foreman, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to help me get a temporary job."
Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Wei Hua was puzzled by her confidence. Why should he help her find a temporary job? Did he think he was too idle?
Did Qin Huairu really think the world wouldn't turn without her? Wei Hua discovered that besides Qin Huairu, everyone else in the courtyard was pretty much the same, all believing the world couldn't function without them.
"Qin Huairu, what does it matter to me whether your family is doing well or not? Our Wei family doesn't owe you anything, why should I help you? Is your family's current situation because of me?"
"You brought this on yourself. While I'm in a good mood right now, you'd better get the hell out of here. I'm not in the mood for your nonsense right now."
"Don't forget that you and Jia Zhangshi still owe me several hundred yuan. Instead of wasting your time, you should be thinking about how to pay me back those few hundred yuan! Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to take your house."
Hearing Wei Hua's words, Qin Huairu already harbored deep resentment towards Wei Hua and his entire family. But since no one was willing to help, Qin Huairu was powerless to do anything about it.
As for repaying the money, Qin Huairu had long since put it aside. Given the Jia family's current situation, how could they possibly have the money to repay their debts?
Seeing the strange looks from others, Qin Huairu had no choice but to leave the front yard. But no sooner had Qin Huairu left than Yi Zhonghai came over.
When Yi Zhonghai arrived, he gave everyone what he thought was a friendly smile, but it scared the people in the courtyard away by several steps.
"Hua Zi, I heard you're about to become the workshop director. You really are one of the candidates I had my eye on. You're the most promising one in the courtyard."
"Now that I've become like this, can you help me again? If you're not willing to help me, then I won't be able to go on living at all. As long as you're willing to help me, all our grudges will be wiped clean."
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's idiotic words, Wei Hua couldn't understand how Yi Zhonghai's brain worked. Why should he help him for nothing? Did he really have something wrong with his own brain?
"Yi Zhonghai, should I thank you? Are all the people you've chosen out of their minds? These people have to be foolish enough to be manipulated by you and then take care of you in your old age."
"You didn't come here this time like Qin Huairu, hoping I'd arrange something for you, did you? If that's your request, you can get out now. I'm not going to arrange a job for you. Don't you even know what kind of person you are?"
"It's not just the two of you, it's the same for everyone else. I don't have time for you right now. My wife's due date is approaching, and I have my own things to take care of. If you don't have anything else to do, don't crowd around here. Go and do your own things!"
Hearing Wei Hua's words, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were quite understanding, after all, he had his own family matters to attend to. Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't let someone else interfere with their own family affairs. Besides, everyone in the courtyard knew that Yang Tao was going to have a baby.
Even when asking for favors, one must choose the right time. Neither Xu Damao nor Sha Zhu made any requests at this moment. They could have waited until Wei Hua became the workshop director. Right now, it was just an evaluation period; nothing was certain yet. They could have waited until things settled down before slowly building a relationship.
Seeing that the protagonist, Wei Hua, had gone home, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao exchanged a glance and then turned and went back to their own homes. Although they hadn't had any major conflicts over the years, their relationship was still not very good.
Everyone else had left, leaving only Yi Zhonghai in the middle courtyard. No one knew what Yi Zhonghai was thinking. All they knew was that Yi Zhonghai went to the back courtyard again, had an argument with the deaf old lady, and then left the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai developed a deep hatred for everyone there. He lay outside the courtyard, contemplating how to burn them all to death.
No one in the entire courtyard imagined that Yi Zhonghai would have such a crazy idea. Because no one in the courtyard had ever done anything like this before. Even a wicked person like Jia Zhangshi wouldn't do something so harmful to others and oneself.
However, when Yi Zhonghai was in dire straits, he thought of taking revenge on the entire courtyard. But burning the whole courtyard to the ground was not so simple.
After all, the people in the yard aren't dead. As long as a fire starts, the house will be able to fight back. Maybe the fire will be put out by someone else before it even starts.
To help everyone find the place smoothly, Yi Zhonghai went to great lengths, constantly observing the structure of the courtyard house. But no matter how he observed, he couldn't come up with a good solution. To burn the courtyard house down, they would need at least some other means. Unless they poured gasoline in certain areas, it would be very difficult to start a fire.
For ordinary people, buying gasoline is practically impossible. Without gasoline, Yi Zhonghai had to use other types of oil instead.
The house with the most water in the courtyard was definitely Wei Hua's. Stealing oil from Wei Hua's house wasn't so easy. The only way was to wait until Wei Hua's wife was in labor, then pry open Wei Hua's door, pour the oil elsewhere, and then set the entire courtyard on fire.
After waiting for several days, Yi Zhonghai finally saw Yang Tao go to the hospital to give birth. Seeing Wei Hua take Yang Tao to the hospital, Yi Zhonghai's hope was rekindled.
Wei Hua was unaware of Yi Zhonghai's plan, because Yi Zhonghai had never put it into action. When Yang Tao began to feel the signs of labor, Wei Hua took her to the hospital.
Since there was no one else at home, Weihua brought the child along. Upon arriving at the hospital, they completed the admission procedures for Yangtao. Perhaps because it was her second pregnancy, Yangtao didn't have to go through too much labor, giving birth around 8 or 9 pm.
Fortunately, Yang Tao also has a system, so Wei Hua doesn't need to worry too much about taking care of Yang Tao. Wei Hua only needs to take care of Yang Tao at the hospital.
Both of them were completely open with each other; Yang Tao didn't hide anything about her system. Wei Hua also didn't expect that Yang Tao would receive such a big reward for giving birth to a child.
Wei Hua never expected that his youngest daughter would become LV's third-largest shareholder at birth. Although the reward would only be received after the child grew up, in addition to 7% of LV's shares, there was also 5% of Hua Sheng's shares and 20kg of gold.
It seems that to get rich, you have to have more children. Yang Tao's system is practically a system where the more children you have, the more rewards you get. If Yang Tao hadn't just given birth, Wei Hua would have wanted to quickly prepare for a third child. He wouldn't need to do anything else in his life; he could just stay at home with Yang Tao and research how to have children.
Yang Tao was overjoyed to see her daughter born; a son and a daughter made a perfect family. She had no regrets now, and it wouldn't matter whether she had a boy or a girl in the future.
Perhaps because she had just given birth, Yang Tao, despite being very happy, didn't have much energy. After coming out of the delivery room, she glanced at her babies a few times, then fell asleep holding her daughter. As for her son, she entrusted him to Wei Hua.
Fortunately, the child was old enough that Wei Hua didn't need to worry about him too much; he just needed to watch over him. Luckily, the courtyard house wasn't too far from the hospital, so after Yang Tao and the others fell asleep, Wei Hua simply took the child back to the courtyard house.
It wasn't that Wei Hua didn't want to stay with Yang Tao at the hospital, but the hospital rooms were all full. Wei Hua simply couldn't sleep with her child in the hospital.
