The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Many people in the yard were workers at the steel rolling mill and they also received some meat.

But not everyone gets fatty pork. Many of them get some scraps, such as pig's trotters, most of which have no fat left.

He Yuzhu was the only chef in the courtyard, and it happened that he was braising meat. Some people brought the meat to him and asked him to help braising it.

Of course He Yuzhu would not refuse. After all, the brine would be wasted if not used, so He Yuzhu just went along with it.

Liu Minghui didn't stay at He Yuzhu's house for too long, but went back home to take care of the children.

Yu Li still has to go to work today, and Liu Minghui happened to be on holiday, so Yu Li did not take Liu Bowen to the supply and marketing cooperative, and let Liu Minghui take him out to play.

"My dear son, Dad will take you to find your sister."

Liu Minghui said this in a low voice, then rode his bike out of the courtyard.

"Hey, Minghui, wait for me."

When Liu Minghui was leaving the yard, he was stopped by Yan Bugui.

"Hey, Uncle, what's going on?"

Seeing this, Liu Minghui stopped and waited for Yan Bugui to come over.

Yan Bugui came to Liu Minghui and said to him with a grim look: "Can you help persuade Jie Cheng?"

Yan Bugui's random words made Liu Minghui confused, not knowing what he wanted to express.

Looking at Liu Minghui's puzzled expression, Yan Bugui felt helpless.

He just went to find Yan Jiecheng, hoping that Yan Jiecheng could come back to the Siheyuan to celebrate the New Year.

Yan Jiecheng did not refuse Yan Bugui's request, but he refused to give anything back to the Yan family, especially the pork that had just been distributed by the steel mill.

This made Yan Bugui very nervous. You know, he had gone to see Yan Jiecheng several times because he was thinking about the pork that the steel rolling mill had just distributed. He thought that with this, he could save a lot of money during the Chinese New Year.

But Yan Bugui's calculations were not correct after all. Yan Jiecheng didn't buy his tricks at all, so he came to find Liu Minghui.

"Second uncle, this is your father and son's family affair. How can I, an outsider, get involved?"

Liu Minghui refused again and again. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a conflict between the father and son of the Yan family, and there would be no benefit for outsiders to get involved.

Yan Bugui frowned, very dissatisfied with Liu Minghui's answer.

"If you hadn't helped me, Jie Cheng wouldn't have moved away."

Yan Bugui's words were ridiculous. You have to know that Yan Bugui had come to him for help before, but he was reluctant to invest. Liu Minghui also didn't want to owe him a favor, so he refused.

In the end, it was Jiang Jingwan who was courageous and invested a lot of money, so Liu Minghui helped her out of consideration for the sake of being the dean.

But now, looking at Yan Bugui's appearance, it was clear that he was pushing everything onto him.

Liu Minghui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Second uncle, you are really being shameless. You should know that you came to see me before."

Liu Minghui was no longer polite and said directly, "Also, don't involve me in your family's affairs."

After saying this, Liu Minghui no longer paid any attention to Yan Bugui, got on his bike and left the courtyard.

"Hey, I don't..."

Yan Bugui wanted to explain something, but Liu Minghui had already walked away. He had no choice but to return to the yard with a bitter face.

"Hey, why are you back alone? Where is the solution?"

The third aunt was fiddling with something outside the house. When she saw Yan Bugui like this, she asked in confusion.

"I'm the only one, forget about solving it."

Yan Bugui was feeling depressed at the moment. He had been running around early in the morning, not only did he not get any results, he was also very angry.

"What's going on? Why are you so angry? Since Jie Cheng doesn't want to come back, forget it. At most, we can just save some money on the New Year's Eve dinner."

Seeing that Yan Bugui was in a bad mood, the third aunt tried to comfort him in a gentle voice.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't think about that anymore."

After this incident, Yan Bugui no longer worried about anything.

Seeing this, the third aunt also looked at Yan Bugui and said, "It's good that you think so. After all, you have to live your life as a couple."

After hearing what the third aunt said again, Yan Bugui fell silent for a while.

Xueru Silk Shop.

Liu Minghui passed by here on his bicycle and was just taking a casual glance when he saw Chen Xueru inside. He turned the bicycle and stopped at the door.

Liu Minghui then stepped over, with Liu Bowen still hanging on him.

In the room, Chen Xueru was talking to Fan Jinyou and happened to see Liu Minghui.

Chen Xueru originally came to the silk shop to take a look, but when she saw Liu Minghui arriving, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Hey, why is he here?"

Fan Jinyou followed Chen Xueru's gaze and saw that it was a man. He immediately showed impatience.

"Sir, would you like to make some clothes?"

Fan Jinyou spoke in a cold tone, and Liu Minghui glanced at him when he heard it.

For some reason, Fan Jinyou showed some hostility towards Liu Minghui who was greeting Chen Xueru.

"Yes, buy two sets of clothes for the child."

Liu Minghui responded casually, then looked at Chen Xueru and said with a smile: "Boss Chen, please give me a discount."

In front of outsiders, Liu Minghui certainly couldn't be too intimate with Chen Xueru, so he called her "Boss Chen".

After hearing this, Chen Xueru nodded with a smile and said, "Don't even mention a discount, I can even give it to you as a gift."

Then, Chen Xueru looked at Liu Bowen in Liu Minghui's arms.

"You're shy, little guy. I remember I used to keep you."

Chen Xueru came in front of Liu Minghui, stretched out her slender hands, and pinched little Bowen's little face.

"Yeah, Dad."

Little Bowen had never been pinched on the face before, so he immediately yelled at Liu Minghui, hoping that Liu Minghui could drive the woman away.

"Little guy, call your auntie quickly, and I will make you new clothes."

Seeing Liu Bowen's aggrieved look, Chen Xueru laughed a lot.

The three of them were chatting as if no one was around, and they didn't notice at all that Fan Jinyou's face was getting darker and darker.

As to why this happened, the story begins a few months ago.

Fan Jinyou has been in charge of the management of the silk shop for the past two years, but Fan Jinyou doesn't understand any of this. During this period of time, the silk shop has been getting worse month by month, and sometimes the money earned is not enough to pay the employees' salaries.

Occasionally, the neighborhood committee is needed to help out. They can't even pay salaries, let alone dividends. After Chen Xueru stopped participating in management in the past two years, Fan Jinyou has been under a lot of pressure.

The main issue is with the neighborhood committee. The director of the neighborhood committee wants to transfer Fan Jinyou away and then bring Chen Xueru back.

As a result, this proposal was of course strongly resisted by Fan Jinyou.

Fan Jinyou could imagine that if Chen Xueru returned to the silk shop, it would mean that he was incompetent, otherwise how could he manage such a good shop into this state.

In addition, Fan Jinyou was not without support. The deputy director of the street office was his neighbor, and the two families had known each other for more than ten years. Fan's mother had a good relationship with this man. With the help of Fan's mother, when Fan Jinyou was about to be transferred, the deputy director stepped forward to fight for a chance for Fan Jinyou.
