Chapter 399: Jia Zhang's jealousy buried the seeds
He Yuzhu looked at He Yuguang and noticed that there was still a hint of uneasiness and anxiety in his eyes, so he smiled gently, trying to ease his tension.
He patted He Yugang's shoulder gently and said, "Yugang, I really don't blame you. I just want to remind you that this matter is about to end, and we need to be more cautious."
As he spoke, He Yuzhu took out an envelope from his pocket, which contained money and bills. He solemnly pushed the envelope in front of He Yugang and said:
"This is the money I gave you recently to help you with your expenses. Go and balance the balance in your account. Xu Damao is a very cunning man. He will probably make trouble for us in the next two days."
When He Yugang saw the money and bills in front of him, a complicated expression flashed across his face. He did not refuse them generously, but after a moment of silence, he slowly reached out his hand and took the envelope.
He raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu, his eyes revealing a firm light, and said: "Brother, don't worry. I will definitely not let you down at a critical moment. I will act carefully and make sure we can all get through this difficult time safely."
He Yuzhu saw He Yugang's expression, and his worries were slightly relieved. He nodded and encouraged: "Okay, I believe you, this time it's mainly up to you, thank you for your hard work, eat more later, Dad said he would cook today."
......
Outside, Jia Zhang stood aside, watching the crowd gathered at the door of the He family, looking at the lively scene with envy.
When she saw He Yugang walking into the yard with the brand new radio in his arms, a hint of disdain appeared on her face.
She curled her lips slightly and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know where the money came from, and now you start to flatter me, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Although Jia Zhang was muttering in a low voice, she forgot that her voice was loud. In addition, the yard was already very quiet, so her voice was clearly heard by the people around her.
The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were all cast on Jia Zhang.
Several close neighbors of the He family immediately stood up to speak for He Yugang. Aunt Li walked forward, frowned, and said to Jia Zhang:
"Ms. Jia Zhang, what are you talking about? He Yugang is a director and has a good salary, so why can't he afford to buy a radio? If you don't know, don't make up rumors."
Uncle Zhang also agreed, "Yes, Jia Zhang, He Yugang has always been diligent, and his work performance is obvious to everyone. Besides, it is normal for people to buy things they like when they have money. How can you say that?"
After being refuted by everyone, Jia Zhang's face turned red instantly, with embarrassment and anger intertwined on her face.
She opened her mouth and wanted to retort loudly, but seeing the dissatisfied looks and contemptuous expressions of the people around her, she realized that her words had aroused public anger.
She pursed her lips tightly, trying to suppress the anger in her heart, but in the end she couldn't help but snorted and turned away.
As she turned around, she did not forget to secretly glance at the He family, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment. She muttered in a low voice as she walked:
“Humph, you don’t know how to show off now that you have money. Who knows if the money is clean or not… How can a newly appointed deputy director have so much money and afford such an expensive radio?
How come I don’t see Xu Damao, the director, being so generous? There must be something fishy going on.”
Although her voice gradually faded away, it was particularly harsh in this quiet courtyard. Because of this episode, the originally lively gossip chat suddenly became dull. Everyone dispersed, but each of them had a wave of emotions in their hearts.
Some people left quietly, while others began to ponder Jia Zhang's words, thinking that she might have some truth. After all, He Yu had just taken office, how could he have so much money to buy such an expensive radio?
Moreover, Xu Damao, as the director, had never been seen to have such extravagant behavior. Could it be that the money really came from an unknown source?
For a moment, a subtle atmosphere filled the courtyard. Although no one mentioned the matter on the surface, everyone was secretly speculating and discussing it in their hearts.
In the crowd, several people who had a good relationship with He Yuzhu looked at each other, with worry and uneasiness in their eyes.
