Chapter 240

"What did you say?" He Youde was so shocked he wished he could devour the entire family. Did they even listen to what he was saying?

What did he mean by arranging jobs for the whole family?

If he had that kind of ability, would he need to scheme against He Zhifei?

How absurd this family was!

"I'm doing this for everyone's good. Otherwise, if all of us come over, and people start to suspect you, wouldn't that be bad?" Wang Shoucheng looked honest, but his words were anything but.

Apart from himself, He Youde had never seen such a shameless person.

Suspect him?

If this old man didn't come to the provincial capital, would he be suspected?

His words sounded better than singing!

He Youde coughed, his attitude firm.

"I know what you're thinking, but I really can't do it. Last time, your son and daughter-in-law wanted jobs, and it was already very difficult. Now you want to bring the whole family. Do you think I have that much power in your county?

Not just me, even your county magistrate couldn't do it.

In short, it's impossible with so many people."

He Youde frowned, considering that helping three more might be manageable, but helping this entire group was absolutely out of the question.

Of course, he couldn't tell them about the three, or they might push their luck further.

Wang Shoucheng understood that it could be done, but not for all of them.

He was tempted to speak up, but Zhou Jiaojiao rejected it first: "No way, Uncle He. We've all come here, and we must all get jobs. Otherwise, we won't keep that secret for you.

Let's see which is better for you—losing your good days or getting jobs for our family."

Zhou Jiaojiao's aggressive stance startled everyone except Wang Qingqi.

Wang Shoucheng wished he could kick his daughter-in-law back to the guesthouse.

Was she crazy?

Didn't they agree to come here to get more benefits from He Youde?

Zhou Jiaojiao didn't care about the benefits; what she wanted most was for He Youde to panic, so he would find a way to prevent Wang Qinghe from coming back.

That way, Bai Xiuxiu would suffer in the future.

She wanted to see how Bai Xiuxiu would survive alone with two children!

He Youde hadn't expected Zhou Jiaojiao to suddenly confront him like this, and he wished he could slap her dead. Unfortunately, he lacked the ability.

This shameless family came to him, relying on knowing his weakness, right?

If my brother's son died without any evidence, let's see what they can do.

He Youde pondered this, his gaze falling on these people.

Either he took a bold risk and acted, or... gave them jobs.

If he took the risk and failed, he might lose his son too. If he didn't take the risk and gave them jobs, wouldn't this matter be exposed?

Then how would he explain it to his brother?

He Youde thought and rethought, deciding to weigh his options.

These people... weren't they a bit too eager?

Something felt off, and this woman seemed eager to provoke him.

Could something have already happened?

Once He Youde had this thought, an ominous feeling arose in his heart, and he dared not think further.

He calmed down a bit.

As long as Father is alive, my brother can't do anything to me. And this matter...

He Youde felt that although it might upset his brother, it wouldn't send him to prison. Compared to implicating He Tian, it would be better to have Father help him and confess to his brother before the truth comes out.

What can't brothers overcome?

Thinking this, He Youde suddenly felt enlightened.

"Uncle He, why aren't you saying anything? You have to give us a solution, right?" Zhou Jiaojiao saw He Youde remain silent and grew anxious.

He Youde's face darkened.

"I've been accommodating enough. If you keep making such outrageous demands, then we shouldn't interact anymore. Isn't it just about that incident from the past? Go ahead and tell anyone; I don't believe you have any evidence. Do you think you can escape by accusing me?

We'll both end up badly.

You want jobs? Find someone else! Don't come to me again."

He Youde's attitude was strong, and he walked away immediately after speaking.

This also left the people from Old Wang's family stunned.

After all, not everyone knew that Old Wang's family and he were not relatives. Once they said this, others also caught on.

Was someone from their family holding a grudge and threatening someone here?

And now, they couldn't control it anymore?

Wang Qingfu was the first to react. He immediately glared at Zhou Jiaojiao beside him.

"What's wrong with you, Old Fifth's wife? You and Old Fifth have jobs, but we don't. You've angered them; how are we supposed to find work now? How can you be so selfish?" Wang Qingfu questioned Zhou Jiaojiao.

Wang Qingqi quickly defended his wife: "What do you mean, Second Brother? It's clear he doesn't want to help us find jobs. How can you blame my wife?"

"Doesn't she know if she should be blamed or not?" Wang Qingfu sneered.

"Alright, stop arguing. Let's go back to the guesthouse first, and we'll talk about it there. Something's not right," Wang Shoucheng felt that he had been too presumptuous, not understanding the situation with this family, and had just listened to Old Fifth's wife.

Old Fifth's wife is just a young girl; what could she possibly understand?

Now, things have gone wrong.

Zhou Jiaojiao was also panicking inside. This shouldn't be the case. Why isn't He Youde afraid of the matter being publicized?

In fact, He Youde was very afraid.

He regretted it as soon as he left the restaurant. Although his father was helping him, giving him some confidence, this was still a poor strategy! It was all because of the Old Wang family, forcing him into this.

Forget it, no use worrying about it now. He should go to the old man's place first.

Only he could save him from this mess.

He Youde's father now lived in the old house of the He family.

His mother passed away early, leaving only the old man at home. Occasionally, his wife would come over to help, and sometimes his second sister would visit.

The courtyard was empty when he arrived, and He Youde entered the yard.

He called out a couple of times before entering the house.

Inside, a spirited old man was listening to opera. He Youde looked a lot like him, so he doted on this son especially.

As soon as He Youde entered the room, the old man glanced at his youngest son: "What's wrong? Caused trouble with your brother again? I'm telling you, your brother has been quite indulgent with you these years. He has a wife too, so don't push it too far.

If you really anger him, life won't be easy for you, and it's your own fault."

After hearing this, He Youde burst into tears and knelt down in front of the old man: "Dad, you have to save me this time. Otherwise, not only will my life be ruined, but Xiao Tian's life will be ruined too."
