Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

"Go home quickly and don't let me see you here again!"

The leader thought that Yi Zhonghai was just a buyer, and signaled his men to make way for him.

"Yes, yes! I'll be back right away!"

Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt like he had survived a disaster and left in a hurry with his wallet.

"Phew~ Fortunately they didn't confiscate my wallet. This is my only remaining savings!"

He was worried that his wife would secretly check his savings when he was not at home.

That's why I carry all my money with me...

Exactly two hundred dollars, plus the three dollars I earned from selling the iron just now, the total is two hundred and three dollars!

Of the 2160 yuan I got when I divorced Aunt Wu, not even one tenth of it is left!

"It seems that the pigeon market is quite risky. I must not be distracted next time!"

Yi Zhonghai held his wallet tightly and hurried back to the yard to sleep.

……

The next morning, Yi Zhonghai went to work as usual as if nothing had happened.

The only difference from yesterday is that he is bolder!

Even during the day they began to search for iron bars and scrap metal.

"Wow~ These three plates of iron bars weigh at least two kilograms!"

"A good piece of scrap metal!"

"That piece of scrap metal is just the right size, it should weigh two or three pounds!"

"..."

Of course he certainly wouldn't dare take away too much at once.

Before leaving get off work, he wrapped about two pounds of iron bars around his waist and ankles, and tied three pounds of scrap iron on his arms and calves.

Finally, I walked out of the steel mill safely with the large group of people leaving get off work.

"Damn it! Isn't this too easy?!"

I have worked in a steel mill for so many years, and I feel like I have missed out on ten thousand dollars!

Yi Zhonghai did not rush home after get off work. Instead, he changed into the clothes he had prepared in advance in a corner near Pigeon Market and waited silently for dark.

Not many people dare to go to the Pigeon Market during the day!

As time went by, the sky gradually darkened, and the pigeon market gradually became lively...

Yi Zhonghai carefully observed for several times before he dared to come to the three-way intersection again.

He didn't even put up a sign, just waited for the buyer from last night to come.

Soon, the buyer arrived as promised, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Man, you're great! How much goods are you bringing this time?"

"Hey, two pounds of iron bars and three pounds of scrap iron. The scales are high! Shall we still go by the price from last night?"

"No problem! Three dollars and fifty cents, take it!"

The buyer took out the money from his pocket and handed it to him without hesitation.

"happy!"

Yi Zhonghai happily took the money and handed over the iron bars and scrap metal.

"Check the goods!"

"No need! We'll get used to it after a while, I trust you!"

Although the buyer said so, he still weighed it secretly and found that it was indeed more than five kilograms...

"It's a pleasure working with you! See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow, man!"

Yi Zhonghai happily put the three dollars and fifty cents into his wallet, then he paid close attention to his surroundings, fearing that Hongxiu from yesterday would suddenly show up.

Fortunately, he was lucky and returned to the courtyard smoothly.

"Boss, where have you been? Why are you home so late?"

When Zhai Xinxin saw him coming home, she asked with a "worried" look on her face.

"Wife, I...I was just working overtime at the factory!"

"Overtime? Why did I see Liu Haizhong coming back early in the backyard? Why isn't he working overtime?"

"Wife, the factory saw that I was very active at work, so they specially arranged overtime for me! By the way, I might often work overtime and come home late in the future."

Yi Zhonghai is very short of money now, and plans to sell some scrap metal every day in the near future.

When I have saved up 500 yuan, I will consider setting up a private processing point.

"Working overtime often? Boss, aren't you too tired?"

Zhai Xinxin asked with "heartache".

In fact, she would rather the old man work overtime every day.

This way I won't be disgusted by his ugly face...

As long as you pay on time!

"It's a bit tiring, but I can earn more than 10 yuan a month!"

Yi Zhonghai felt very relieved when he saw his wife's distressed look.

My wife spends a lot of money, but she really cares about me!

"A dozen extra bucks a month? Boss, you're awesome!"

"Have you had dinner? I'll give it to you below!"

Zhai Xinxin was very happy to hear this.

If the old man earns a dozen more dollars, I can get a dozen more dollars...

"Gululu~"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai's stomach started to growl.

"Xinxin, I'm really hungry, give me some food from below~"

"Okay! I'll lay another egg for you~"

Zhai Xinxin stopped her mother from coming to help and made a bowl of chopped green onion and egg noodles for Yi Zhonghai herself.

"Eat it while it's hot, sir. If it's not enough, I'll make more for you!"

"Slurp! So delicious! This is the most delicious noodles I have ever eaten!"

Of course Zhai Xinxin did this for a purpose!

She waited until Yi Zhonghai had finished eating everything in his bowl before she spoke:

"Boss, the eldest child's schoolbag is a little torn, and the second child also needs to buy exercise books, pencils, erasers and other stationery recently..."

"I have saved some money for our unborn son. How about I pay out of that?"

"No, no! How can you use our unborn son's savings? I'll pay for it!"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head repeatedly when he heard this.

However, what made him feel relieved was that his daughter-in-law was not so extravagant with her money, but saved it for her son.

"Boss, a good school bag alone costs five dollars;"

"It costs two or three yuan to buy enough exercise books for a month;"

"pencil……"

"It will cost at least ten dollars to buy everything!"

Zhai Xinxin smiled imperceptibly and replied.

"Wife, ten, ten dollars?"

"What? You think it's too much? Then I'll just take it from my savings!"

"Hehe~ I don't think it's too much! It's just ten dollars, I'll pay!"

Yi Zhonghai took out ten dollars and gave it to his wife with tears in his eyes, feeling very upset!

I took a huge risk and only earned six dollars and fifty cents in two days.

The money hasn’t even warmed up yet and it’s already been taken away by my wife?

Is there any justice in the world?!

But what can he do?

I can only continue stealing iron like this!

……

After get off work on the afternoon of the third day, Yi Zhonghai repeated the same trick and successfully brought out the iron bars and scrap iron using the same method.

This time he learned his lesson and looked for more expensive iron bars.

In the end, he went to Pigeon City with a total of four pounds of iron bars and two pounds of scrap iron.

After a while, the buyer appeared again...

The two successfully completed the transaction!

"Man, it's a bit dangerous for us to trade once a day."

"I have a suggestion. How about you save up some iron bars and scrap metal next time and trade with me?"

"This way, there's less risk for both of us!"

The buyer said after handing five dollars to Yi Zhonghai.

"Okay! How about three days later? I promise to have at least 20 kilograms of iron bars and scrap metal!"

"Okay! It's a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

……

On the fourth day, Yi Zhonghai became even more daring and brought out five kilograms of iron bars and three kilograms of scrap iron from the steel mill.

Since he had already promised the buyer, he had no intention of selling it in the pigeon market.

Instead, he deliberately returned to the courtyard late, and waited until his wife and mother-in-law fell asleep before quietly entering the house.

"Where do you hide the iron?"

It would be hard to explain if I didn’t hide it well enough and my wife found out!
