Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?

Yan Jiekuang quickly put on his clothes and just walked into the living room, he heard some noise coming from Yan Bugui's room.

So he quickly said, "Dad, don't move, I'll go open the door."

"Well, go check who it is. It's already past nine o'clock and we have to have a meeting tomorrow to discuss this matter."

Yan Jiekuang opened the door in the rain, and it was indeed Lou Xiaoe standing outside.

"Sister Lou, why are you back so late?"

Ever since she divorced Xu Damao, it was no longer appropriate for Yan Jiekuang to call her sister-in-law, so those who were younger than Lou Xiaoe started calling her Sister Lou instead.

Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised when she saw that it was Yan Jiekuang who opened the door. In the past, it was always the Third Uncle who opened the door. But she was in a hurry to see Sha Zhu, so she didn't think much about it and responded directly: "Yeah, I came back to get something."

After saying this, he was about to enter, but Yan Jiekuang held the door with both hands and showed no intention of giving way.

Lou Xiao'e looked at him in confusion.

"Sister Lou, Xu Damao is drinking with my dad at my house. If you go in now, he will definitely be able to see you."

"I advise you, if it's not something important, come back another day when he's not around to get it. You know his character, and if he sees you, it will be hard for you to get out again."

Yan Jiekuang's tone was very calm, and he opened the door after he finished speaking.

But just these two simple sentences made Lou Xiao'e stand at the door and dare not take a step forward.

In fact, Yan Jiekuang never knew that Sha Zhu had no connection with the big boss at all, and it was the deaf old lady who came up with the idea of ​​rescuing the Lou couple this time.

She asked Sha Zhu to ask Li Huaide for favor, using his cooking skills as a bargaining chip. Whenever Li Huaide needed him in the future, Sha Zhu would have to help with cooking and no longer fry the crabs.

Li Huaide thought that the Lou family was a red family after all, and now their property had been confiscated, so there was not much profit left. Now Sha Zhu came to plead for mercy, and he couldn't do without his craftsmanship, so he just let it go and let the Lou couple go.

Just like that, things returned to their original track.

Lou Xiao'e saw that the distance to Sha Zhu was only a few dozen meters, but it seemed so close yet so far away. She didn't dare to step into the yard, let alone gamble with her parents' lives.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but shed tears. She stood there for three full minutes, then turned around and left resolutely.

Yan Jiekuang looked at her from behind and murmured to himself, "You had a hard time meeting a scumbag like Xu Damao in the first half of your life. I can be considered to have saved your second half of life and prevented you from being sucked dry by others in the future."

Yan Jiekuang did all this not for the opportunity to make trouble, nor did he want to save Lou Xiao'e, but to cut off a great opportunity for Sha Zhu.

After closing the door, Yan Jiekuang looked towards the middle courtyard with a sharp look in his eyes: "Shazhu, the last time you hit me... let's write it off!"

He lay back on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep. His mind began to wander: Xu Damao was so generous. If he knew that I prevented him from being cheated by Sha Zhu, he would definitely give me a thousand or eight hundred yuan as a reward!

Oh! I am really kind-hearted. I did such a great deed without asking for anything in return from Xu Damao.

Yan Jiekuang was so lost in thought that he fell asleep without knowing when.

When he woke up the next day, Yan Bugui asked him about this matter: "Lao San, who was it last night that came back so late?"

"No one, a drunk guy knocked on the wrong door."

Yan Jiekuang didn't expect to be asked about this today, and he made up an excuse in a hurry. Fortunately, Yan Bugui didn't delve into it further.

"Third brother, Dad wants to discuss something with you, you see..."

Seeing his father hesitate to speak and look embarrassed, Yan Jiekuang knew that he was plotting again.

However, he did not refuse directly, but asked: "What is it? You are still hesitant. What can't you tell your son?"

Seeing that things were going well, Yan Bugui stopped keeping the secret and said, "It's like this. Look, your second brother has been graduated for such a long time and still doesn't have a job. He doesn't have your skills either. Can you help him?"

When he heard that he was helping his second brother find a job, he turned to look at Yan Jiefang and found that he had been stealing glances at him. Yan Jiekuang understood that the two of them had already discussed this matter.

To be honest, with Yan Jiekuang's material and financial resources, it would be very easy to help him find a job, but seeing that his father never mentioned paying him until the end, I knew he wanted to get it for free.

This kind of loophole cannot be opened. If there is one, there will be two. He doesn't want to become the second idiot and have his whole family suck his blood away.

"Sure, the minimum wage for a temporary worker in a steel mill is 400 yuan. Just pay the money and I'll find a connection right away."

When Yan Bugui heard the price was four hundred yuan, he hesitated for a long time without saying anything. He also knew that Yan Jiekuang was not asking for it blindly. This was the price he got by relying on his connections. If he were to do this job, it would cost at least five hundred yuan.

He still had some dignity and didn't feel comfortable asking Yan Jiekuang to pay for it.

Originally, I had planned to ask Yan Jiekuang for help so that I could save the money.

He could collect more from Yan Jiefang every month in the future, but now that Yan Jiekuang has pointed it out, he feels embarrassed to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Yan Bugui stood up and called Yan Jiefang aside: "Four hundred yuan, what do you think?"

When Yan Jiefang heard this question, he agreed immediately. He knew that the money was worth spending, but he had no money and had to ask his father for money.

"Dad, please help me pay for it first, and I will pay you back when I get my salary."

Hearing that he was asked to pay, Yan Bugui did not refuse, but rolled his eyes and said, "I can help you pay for it, but from your future work income, apart from the monthly food expenses, you can only keep five dollars, and the rest should be used to pay off the debt this time, until you pay off five hundred."

"Dad, I'm your biological son, how can you still charge me interest?"

Listening to his son's protest, Yan Bugui smiled faintly: "You have to pay interest wherever you borrow money, and if it weren't for the third brother's consideration for me, would I give you such a cheap price? Besides, don't I leave you five dollars every month? It's enough for you to use."

Knowing that he couldn't win against his father, Yan Jiefang could only give up struggling: "Okay, I promise you!"

When the two men entered the room, Yan Jiekuang saw one with a smile on his face and the other with a sad face.

He knew his father's character and knew without hesitation that it must be his second brother who agreed to some unequal treaty.

He didn't ask any further questions. It had nothing to do with him, as long as he didn't get anything for free.

"Dad, have you guys discussed whether or not to do this?"

"Yes, I will definitely do it."

Before Yan Bugui could say anything, Yan Jiefang couldn't wait to reply and looked at his father.

Yan Bugui nodded and walked into the inner room. After a while, he came out holding a stack of big unity bills.

"Oh, Dad! You have quite a lot of savings."

Seeing his father's reluctant look, Yan Jiekuang made a joke.

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes at him, said nothing, and handed over the money.
