Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

Inside the compound, several people stood aside and talked with Xiao Yun and Su Ming.

"Comrade, why are you asking this?"

Xiao Yun answered truthfully, "Oh, I'm going to marry Su Ming, right? But the betrothal gift is too high and I'm afraid something might go wrong. I need to find someone to be fair."

When the people in the compound heard this, they all nodded, "This is a good idea. The Li family has high requirements, and not many people can fulfill them. This will be good for both parties."

"Yes, I suggest you find Director Liu. Hasn't Director Liu always been dissatisfied with the Li family? Ask him to notarize the documents. He will definitely not be partial."

"That's right. Director Liu is famous for being fair in our area. He can solve any conflict in any family without any mistakes and he is not partial. Whenever there is a conflict in our compound, we always go to him."

"Director Liu." Xiao Yun murmured twice and kept it in mind.

When Su Ming's stepfather came out of the house and saw this scene, his face twitched violently.

The idea of ​​selling the position of neighborhood committee director was strangled in the cradle.

On the way, Su Ming's stepfather led the way, while Xiao Yun and Su Ming followed behind. The three of them were silent.

It was dinner time, and the three of them waited for a long time before they saw a middle-aged man walking out of the house carrying an aluminum lunch box.

"Lao Li? What do you want to talk to me about this time? Did your family beat up Su Ming's boyfriend again?" The man quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but how many times has this happened? Marriage is not selling your daughter. You can't beat someone up just because they say something against you!"

Su Ming's stepfather smiled awkwardly and said, "Director Liu, Director Liu, look at what you are saying. I haven't hit anyone for a long time. I have also reduced the betrothal gift you mentioned in half."

Xiao Yun, who was standing aside and listening to their conversation, frowned.

What?

Two bicycles, a sewing machine, and two hundred yuan for the betrothal gift. Is this half price?

This is quite an ambition.

Guessing what Xiao Yun was thinking, Su Ming nodded in confirmation, acknowledging the matter.

Director Liu put down his lunch box, chewed his food and looked at Su Ming's stepfather, "So what are you doing here this time?"

Su Ming's stepfather stood at the door and made way for him. "I, Su Ming, have found a partner and am getting married. I came here to ask you for help."

Director Liu first said "oh" lightly, then raised his voice, "What? Su Ming? Getting married!?"

This shout scared Su Ming's stepfather, and also attracted the people in the house. They rushed out anxiously, all wanting to see what kind of person Su Ming's stepfather liked.

In the first century, a lot of people suddenly squeezed out of the empty neighborhood committee.

"Is this the son-in-law of the old Li family? He is really good-looking and handsome."

"Yeah, look at his figure, he's probably a soldier."

"Yeah, I think so, but why do I feel like I've seen this gay somewhere before?"

...

Director Liu raised his head and looked at Xiao Yun a few times, "Old Li, don't joke with me."

Su Ming's stepfather nodded twice immediately, "Director Liu, how dare I? The wedding date has been set, which is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month."

Seeing that Su Ming's stepfather looked serious, Director Liu also became serious. After taking a look, he called Xiao Yun into the house and dismissed the others. Su Ming and her stepfather were also stopped outside the door.

Only Director Liu and Xiao Yun were left in the room.

"Comrade, what's your name? Where do you live?" Director Liu asked, standing aside.

Xiao Yun handed over a cigarette, "Director Liu, my name is Xiao Yun, and I live at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang."

Director Liu took the cigarette and repeated as he struck a match, "Nanluoguxiang, I remember the director of the neighborhood committee there is Director Wang, right?"

Xiao Yun nodded, "That's right, Director Wang."

Director Liu nodded twice and lit up his cigarette. "You live over there. You should have heard of Xiao Aiguo, right?"

Xiao Yun was stunned. Having heard of Xiao Aiguo's reputation, this should be considered a good thing. He immediately said, "Director, that's my grandfather."

"Are you Xiao Aiguo's grandson?" Director Liu froze while smoking, and suddenly felt like he had a lot to say. "Are you getting married? I just met with Director Wang yesterday, and we talked about your grandfather, but he didn't say you were getting married?"

Xiao Yun answered honestly, "Director, Su Ming and I have been dating for a short time, and we both like each other, right? We are planning to get married, and we just set the date today, but we haven't notified anyone yet."

Director Liu suddenly realized, took two puffs of his cigarette, glanced at the door, and said hesitantly: "You... Old Li's family, can you meet his conditions?"

Xiao Yun knew what Director Liu was worried about, and immediately said, "Director, my family can barely meet his requirements, and I asked you to come here to notarize it. After listening to Su Ming's experience, I was really afraid that he would ask for too much from me at the last minute."

Director Liu nodded, his face still flashing with worry, "You are right to worry. Old Li has done this kind of thing many times. Su Ming is a good child, but also a poor child. It is a good thing for her to marry into your family! I have no problem with the notarization. If he dares to raise the price temporarily, I will be the first to disagree."

After hearing this, Xiao Yun's face lit up, "Thank you so much for troubling you, Director. I see you haven't eaten yet. Come have dinner with me after you're done."

Director Liu waved his hand and said, "No need. I've always heard of your grandfather, but I've never met him. Now I have the chance. It's just right for me to go over and support you and see your grandfather while you're getting married."

Xiao Yun smiled and nodded, "Sure, Director, I welcome you with both hands."

Director Liu laughed a few times and then instructed: "Xiao Yun, your family must have a hard time satisfying the demands of the Li family. We have to set up a banquet on the 29th, which is also a huge expense. You have to be mentally prepared."

Xiao Yun nodded, thought about it, and finally decided not to tell anyone about the matter that Director Yang was responsible for.

After all, it’s better to do less than to do more.

"Director, don't worry, I know what's going on. I'll have to trouble you again this time."

Director Liu waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this. Tell me, how much do you guys negotiate for the bride price?"

Xiao Yun slowly extended a finger.

When Director Liu saw this, he couldn't help but take a breath. He naturally knew that it was not one hundred, but seeing Xiao Yun's expression, he didn't say much in the end, but just patted him on the shoulder.

He then walked to the door and led Su Ming and Su Ming's stepfather into the house.

"Old Li, I understand everything clearly. There is no problem in treating this matter fairly, but I won't write you a note." Director Liu stood aside, smoking a cigarette.

Su Ming's stepfather was stunned for a moment, "Why, Director? It would be difficult to identify him if something happens without a note."

Director Liu snorted coldly, "Why don't you write a note? Don't you know what's going on? If I write my name on such a large amount of money, and if they find out, I'll lose my job. How are you going to support my family?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Director, I forgot about this." Su Ming's stepfather nodded quickly, "But Director, it's not that I don't believe you, I'm just afraid of the worst."

Director Liu glanced at him with dissatisfaction, "You are worrying too much. Do you know what Xiao Yun's family does? Three generations have been in the army. His grandfather is very prestigious in the whole area. His spit is a nail. How can he be in trouble for something like you?"

"If they dare to say that, it means that the money is all included in the plan. How could yours be left out?"

"Besides, I work here. If there's a conflict, I can help you solve it, right? If I can't solve it, I can find someone else. I can also serve as a witness."

After all this, Su Ming's stepfather was completely relieved.
