"No, no. First Uncle's prestige is still higher than mine.”
"But the future still belongs to you young people. With a talent like you appearing in our courtyard, we old fellows will also feel proud.”
Liu Haizhong's chubby face was full of smiles when he heard Li Chengye's words.
Just like how Silly Pillar's biggest enemy had always been Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong also saw Yi Zhonghai as a thorn in his side.
Even their names were Zhong Hai and Hai Zhong. They were natural enemies.
Hearing Li Chengye belittle Yi Zhonghai, Liu Hai was naturally happy.
"That First Master only knows how to favor Silly Zhu and the Jia family. He's not fair at all.”
"Every time, he still forces us to donate in the name of helping others. He has such a high salary and no children. If he wants to help the Jia family, he can do it alone.”
"You're so hypocritical. How can you be qualified to be the First Lord? The next time we hold an election in the courtyard, I'll definitely choose you to be the First Lord of our courtyard.”
Li Chengye flattered Liu Haizhong. Anyway, these words didn't cost money.
Since Liu Haizhong had taken out the money so readily, he could not be stingy with his saliva.
"Good, good!"
Hearing Li Chengye's words, the bangs in the middle of his head were really happy.
If more people supported him, he might really be able to overthrow Yi Zhonghai and become the boss of the courtyard.
Li Chengye said a few more words to Second Uncle before he turned around and left.
He had come here to ask for money, and now that he had the money, Li Chengye prepared to leave after exchanging a few pleasantries.
After all, there was still a big one.
Silly Zhu owed him a whole 370 yuan.
Many people did not eat or drink for a year, and the salary they could get was only this amount.
Most people not only had to live on their own wages, but they also had to support their families.
It would be a blessing if they could have a hundred yuan in savings after a year.
With Silly Zhu's current situation, he would be earning 40 yuan a month, plus working in the canteen, he didn't even need to cook for himself to eat well.
If he really put his heart into saving money, he might really be able to save more than 300 yuan a year.
But Li Chengye knew that it was impossible for Silly Zhu to save so much money.
Qin Huairu, the stick, Huai Hua, and Xiao Dang-the entire Jia family was like a vampire, sucking blood from Silly Zhu's body.
In addition, Silly Zhu also liked to drink, and occasionally had to help the deaf old lady, so he definitely didn't have much savings on hand.
Li Chengye suspected that Silly Zhu was telling the truth when he said that he only had a hundred yuan in savings.
However, this had nothing to do with Li Chengye. Even if he did not have money, Yi Zhonghai did.
With Yi Zhonghai's savings, taking out 200 yuan was just a small amount of money.
Yi Zhonghai thought that in the future, Silly Zhu would help him out in his old age. At this time, he had to pay a little.
After Li Chengye left, Liu Haizhong's face fell.
There was no longer the happy expression from before.
That was a whole hundred yuan. Liu Haizhong felt his heart bleeding.
He wasn't the only one who felt the same. Second Aunt, Liu Guangfu, and Liu Guangtian felt the same.
It would be great if they had this money. This much money was enough for them to marry a wife.
"Boss, you gave him this money just like that. That's 100 yuan. It's not a small amount.”
The second aunt said to Liu Haizhong with great dissatisfaction.
From the beginning, she had objected to Liu Haizhong returning the money to Li Chengye, but Liu Haizhong said that he had his own ideas.
Therefore, the second aunt had been holding back, wanting to see what Liu Haizhong would do.
Who knew that in the end, it was simply given to Li Chengye.
The second aunt felt aggrieved. With just a little more money, she could buy a new bicycle.
"So what if I don't give it to him? Didn't you hear that Yan Bugui's family and Qin Huairu's family are still arguing?”
"Even if we don't give it to him, Li Chengye has a way to make us pay.”
It was already night time and very quiet.
Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and the Jia family were not far from the front yard and the middle yard.
Liu Haizhong could hear Jia Zhangshi's scolding of Qin Huiru and Third Master Yan Bugui's quarreling with Third Aunt very clearly.
These two families had lost to Li Chengye. Before Li Chengye came to them, he must have gone to get money from these two families.
"You all know Yan Bugui. He is extremely stingy. Usually, asking him to pay a single cent is like asking for his life.”
"This time, it's a whole 30 yuan. With his little salary, how long would it take for him to save up?”
"There's also Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi. They're all as shrewd as ghosts. They've never paid for anything.”
Liu Haizhong pinched his eyebrows and said with a headache.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to lose this money. However, he didn't have any good ideas when it came to Li Chengye.
"Qin Huairu only lost 10 yuan, and Third Master only lost 30 yuan. So what if I gave it to you? Dad, you lost a whole 100 yuan. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't give it to you.”
Liu Hai's second son wasn't tall, but he was relatively fat. He relied on his body size advantage and was sometimes quite domineering.
He was most dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong's loss of money to Li Chengye.
"Think about it. Li Chengye went to his door to ask for ten yuan and thirty yuan. I lost 100 yuan to him.”
Liu Haizhong snorted coldly. He felt that his son was simply brainless.
"Qin Huairu's family is made up of orphans and widows. Third Master is short and a useless teacher. His son, Yan Jiecheng, is usually very cowardly.”
"They are afraid of Li Chengye, so why should we be afraid of them?”
"So what if I don't? Dad, with you, me, and Guangtian, we have three men at home.”
"Even if we don't give it to him, Li Chengye won't be able to snatch it by force. If he dares to make a move, we can't beat him to death.”
Liu Guangfu rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture.
"If you give me this money, I can marry a wife.”
This was what Liu Guangfu felt the most distressed about.
Ever since they were young, Liu Haizhong had been stingy to them, although it was not to the point that Third Master's family had to make their children pay rent and living expenses.
However, it was not much different. They had never received any benefits from Liu Haizhong.
Now that he saw Liu Haizhong easily get rid of the 100 yuan, how could he be happy?
Liu Guangfu's salary was not high. This 100 yuan was equivalent to his salary for three to four months.
"That's right. If we don't give it to him, what else would he dare to do?”
The second auntie nodded in agreement.
Although it was already after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and this was the city of Sijiu, not the countryside.
However, he was still not used to looking for the police for everything. It was still very popular to solve problems with force.
If there were many adult men in a house, they would be much more unyielding when they spoke in the courtyard.
No matter how powerful Li Chengye was, he was just one person. What was there to be afraid of?
"Noisy, noisy, noisy!"
Liu Haizhong was getting impatient from these people's words. He slammed the table heavily and shouted loudly.
"I'm happy to spend the money I earn however I want.”
"Go find Li Chengye and fight with him to get the money back. All the money is yours.”
"Aren't you very powerful? Go!”
Liu Haizhong caught Liu Guangfu and scolded him. Liu Guangfu didn't dare to make a sound.
Liu Haizhong panted angrily and sat down. He took a big sip of tea to calm the anger in his heart.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to give the money away.
It was just like how Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu had been sucking up to Manager Yang.
Liu Haizhong had also been fawning over Deputy Factory Manager Li. He was wondering when Deputy Factory Manager Li would promote him and make him a small leader.
At work today, Deputy Director Li praised Li Chengye in front of him.
He even asked him to take care of Li Chengye in the courtyard house.
The higher-ups had just delivered the goods, so how could Liu Haizhong dare to refuse?
Liu Haizhong also knew that this was the time when Li Chengye was valued by Deputy Factory Manager Li.
If he refused to compensate Li Chengye, he would be asking for trouble.
The leader asked you to take care of Li Chengye, and you went back on your word.
How could there be a good outcome if he blinded the leader like this?
Deputy Factory Manager Li had promised him that he would definitely promote him when the factory changed its management.
This was the opportunity he had been waiting for his entire life. He definitely could not miss this opportunity.
