Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Zhao Shanhe called Zhao Shanhu again, ready to ask about Yan Jiefang.

Of course it's not a plea. Being fired is definitely not as simple as Yan Jiefang said. Zhao Shanhe must trust his brother more. There must be a reason why Yan Jiefang was fired.

"Okay, I get it, there's nothing wrong with what you and Bang Geng did."

Zhao Shanhe called Zhao Shanhu, and it was indeed not as Yan Jiefang said, that everyone was targeting him for the benefit of the company. He was really flattering himself.

He hasn't made any progress in all these years and doesn't even understand the basic ways of the world. He deserves to be fired. I knew that the Yan brothers were all calculating, but I still arranged them in manager positions. It's because I didn't know how to judge people.

Yan Jiefang returned home empty-handed. As for the wine he brought, he had already sold it. It was so expensive that it would be a waste if he drank it himself. It was a good opportunity for him to hide some money.

As soon as I got to the gate, I was stopped by the third uncle, who said anxiously, "Jiefang, you are finally back. It's so late, what have you been doing?"

"What's wrong, Dad? Didn't you say that we should go and give Zhao Shanhe a gift and ask for mercy?"

"How is it? What does Shanhe say?"

"He didn't agree to my request right away. He didn't know about this yet. He said he would go back to Shanhu to ask for mercy. I think it won't be a problem for me to resume my position as manager."

"That's good."

"Dad, what happened to you just now?"

The third uncle slapped his thigh and said, "Go and have a look! Your wife broke the lock of Shanhe's house and moved in. We can't stop her."

"She insisted that Shanhe agreed. If Shanhe agreed, would he break the lock? You should go and have a look. The Zhao family is not easy to offend. When Lao Yi offended Shanhe, the factory was in a lot of trouble."

"And Lao He, because he said he wanted to marry Shanhe's Aunt Chen, he lost his job as a cook. No one in the entire city dared to hire him, and he ended up glaring at the tricycle for a while."

"And there was Shazhu, who was beaten half to death and finally punished to clean the toilet. I, your father, am old and don't want to be remembered by others. I still want to live a good life for a few more years."

"Dad, are you saying that my wife has broken the lock of the Zhao family's house and moved in?"

"Yes, go check it out and see if their things are still there and if they are not damaged. Move them out quickly."

Yan Jiefang thought, oh no, the house hasn’t been built today. This woman is too impatient.

Yan Jiefang ran to the house in the front yard where the Zhao family used to live.

When Yan Jiefang arrived at the door, he felt disappointed because the stove was already lit and smoke was coming out from outside.

Yan Jiefang pushed the door open and walked in. Before he could say anything, Liu Cuilan spoke up, "Hurry up and cook. I've been moving house all afternoon and I'm almost dead tired. I haven't eaten yet."

"This Zhao family's house is really nice. Many things are new and better than ours. If we had known, we would have moved in earlier. Why are you still standing there? Go and cook."

"Who told you to move? Why did you move here?"

"Didn't you say that you grew up with Shanhe? What's wrong with using his house? You've been to Shanhe's house, so I guess he'll agree if you ask."

"I saw that the weather was good this afternoon, so I moved in. You know what, the house is fully equipped, with several rooms, and the sons have their own rooms. The only problem is that we have some waste coal."

Yan Jiefang said, "Those are our things. Take them away quickly and restore the house to its original state. They didn't lend me the house."

When Liu Cuilan heard that the house was borrowed, she was immediately unhappy. "You loser, what do you do for a living? Didn't you say that you grew up with Shanhe? He won't even lend you the house he lived in?"

"I don't care. I've been freezing these years. Besides, I just moved my things here with great difficulty. I won't move back. I'm determined to live in this house."

"Cui Lan, although you got married late, you have heard how Zhao Shanhe took revenge on the eldest master and Sha Zhu's family, right? I don't want to offend him."

"No, we're just borrowing the house. It's empty anyway, so what if we can stay there? Is he planning to take revenge?"

"Move back soon, I beg you."

"I won't move. Go and talk to Shanhe about it. How did you get your job? And what about me and my brother's?"

"I didn't mention your business, but I think there will be no problem with my business. Shanhe has promised me to tell Shanhu."

"No, why don't you mention me and my brother?"

"How can I ask you to do this? You haven't even arranged your own affairs, yet you want to include your family members as well. What do you want Shanhe to think?"

"I don't care. You promised to take care of my brother's matter before, and it has been delayed for so long. You must do it quickly."

"Okay, I'll take care of your brother's matter when I get my job back as manager. Now let's move our things back and restore the house to their original state."

"I said I won't move. I'll live here. Unless you buy a building and let me live in it, I'll move. Otherwise, don't even think about letting me live in that back house. I'll freeze to death."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Go cook dinner. I'm almost starving. I wanted to go eat something with your old dad, but he kicked me out and said he didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore."

"Auntie, please move quickly."

"I won't move. I don't want to be cold anymore. This house has heating installed. At worst, we can buy these two houses and give the money to Shanhe when he finds out."

"Wife, are you really planning to buy Shanhe's house?"

Seeing that Yan Jiefang's attitude had softened, he said, "Buy, buy, buy, I'll definitely buy. Go and cook."

Yan Jiefang was very happy when he heard that he wanted to buy it, but suddenly he remembered that Zhao Shanhe was talking about their brothers' property and they didn't plan to sell it, so he became worried again.

"Wife, let's move back. This house won't sell. We can buy someone else's, or ask about the house in the middle courtyard of the Jia family."

"You wimp, Bang Geng just jerk you off and now you want his house. How can you be so useless? Besides, is Jia's house this big? Is there a heater in it?"

"Shanhe said he wouldn't sell it because he saw that you grew up with him, and he was embarrassed to ask for money. Why don't we just give him the money directly when the time comes?"

Yan Jiefang thought about it and felt that what his wife said made sense. This was probably the reason.

"Okay, I'll give him the money when the time comes."

"Okay, got it. Go and cook. I've been moving all afternoon and I'm tired and hungry now."

At this time, the two sons also came over from other rooms and asked, "Mom, is the meal ready? I'm starving."

"No, I just know how to eat. Isn't your father going to cook?"

"Mom, this house is so warm to live in."

"Nonsense, we have heating, but it wastes too much coal. Sneak in bags of coal at night and hide them in your room. Don't let your grandfather find out."

"I see. Grandpa is really something. It's so cold, but he even planned to burn coal."
