Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

"Okay, I have some change here, Jiecheng, you go." Yu Li took out a few coins, counted out 45 cents and handed it to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng took it with an embarrassed look on his face. He didn't really have that much money on him, only two cents.

But at least he knew that it would be embarrassing to ask the girl for money when going out on a blind date, so he said, "Yu Li, I was in a hurry to go out and didn't bring any money with me. I'll give it to you another day."

Having said that, he ran away without Yu Li responding.

"Okay, it's not done yet, but you already know how to speak in my favor. It seems like you quite like it?" Lu Zhenyuan said in surprise. The reason why he came here was indeed to disrupt the situation.

On the one hand, Yan Jiecheng had offended him, and on the other hand, this was only Yu Li. If it were someone else, he really would not get involved.

Yu Li sighed and said something irrelevant, "Life is not easy nowadays."

But Lu Zhenyuan roughly understood it.

Indeed, if he remembered correctly, Yu Li should have a younger sister, and her family conditions should not be very good. Yu Li was the eldest and was not favored by the younger ones. He didn't remember whether she completed her studies or not.

But it seems that I still have no job and no quota allocated. It is obviously related to my academic qualifications. I have been doing odd jobs all the time.

And now there is a food shortage. It is estimated that the family expenses are too high to support it. She is not young anymore, and either voluntarily or by her family's intention, she wants to get married, which can also reduce the burden on the family.

After all, I have a younger sister who needs to go to school.

"A friendly reminder to you, the Yan family is not easy to deal with. They are all calculating. Since Yan Jiecheng was assigned a job, all his salary has been handed over to his father."

"Well... it's the child support for raising him. I guess after we get married, even if you don't pay all your salary, you'll have to pay a portion of it every month. You should think about it carefully."

Yu Li was not completely ignorant of the situation at Yan Jiecheng's home, but when she heard it, she was still shocked and opened her mouth, and couldn't help hesitating.

But then I thought about the current world and my family.

"Ah~"

From this voice, Lu Zhenyuan heard helplessness and compromise.

Indeed, Yu Li compromised. After all, one has to know oneself. She is self-aware. Apart from her decent appearance, there is nothing else worthy of praise. Doing housework is a skill that every woman should have.

There is nothing else to say. To put it bluntly, whoever she marries will have an extra set of bowls and chopsticks and someone to eat for free. After all, she doesn't have a formal job.

"Here."

Lu Zhenyuan took out four cents from his pocket and handed it to Yu Li.

"Huh?" The latter looked surprised.

"I don't have the habit of taking advantage of others. I was just teasing Yan Jiecheng. Consider the soda as my treat. It's only 40 cents, but I don't have anything smaller in my pocket."

Looking at the one, two, and even ten-yuan notes in Lu Zhenyuan's hand, Yu Li twitched the corner of her mouth, and took the money without being polite to him.

"Does your Excellency know why you have so much money in your pocket?"

"My sister said that I am the head of the family and I must carry some money in my pocket when I go out. Otherwise, if a grown man goes out without a penny, people will laugh at me."

Yan Jiecheng, who came back from buying soda, said: “???”

Yu Li glanced at Lu Zhenyuan unhappily, suspecting that he did it on purpose.

Lu Zhenyuan pretended not to see it, waved to Yan Jiecheng, took a bottle of soda, and pushed hard on the bottle mouth with his thumb nail.

"Bah~"

This move immediately stunned the two men.

Yan Jiecheng looked at the soda in his hand and chose to bite it with his teeth.

After opening it, he wiped it before handing it to Yu Li.

Yu Li, who had already made her choice in her heart, did not despise it. She took it and took a sip from the bottle.

This thing can be considered a luxury item. After all, it’s only 1.5 cents a bottle and you only drink it in a few sips. Isn’t that luxurious enough?

Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng both drank in small sips, fearing that they would waste any.

Lu Zhenyuan tilted his neck back and drank the liquid in a whirlwind. After drinking it, he burped and let out a long breath.

"Comfortable!"

"Okay, you two continue walking on the street. I'm leaving." Lu Zhenyuan threw the empty bottle to Yan Jiecheng, got on his bike and left.

After all, Yu Li had already made a plan, and it would be inappropriate for him to interfere and demolish her temple. It would be better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage.

And after he left.

Yu Li asked Yan Jiecheng about it.

"Lu Zhenyuan gave me the money for the soda just now. You don't have to give me any more money if the solution is solved. I just have a question to ask you."

"Well, you say." Hearing that he didn't have to pay himself, Yan Jiecheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if he wants to give money, he has to ask his father. Giving money to his father is fine, but asking for money from his father is like asking for one's life, which is extremely difficult.

"What's going on at Lu Zhenyuan's home? He just took out a handful of money, dozens of dollars. Doesn't his family care?"

Hearing that Lu Zhenyuan had dozens of dollars in his pocket, Yan Jiecheng was not surprised at all, and was even a little envious.

"There is no head of the family. He is the only man. He has an older sister who works in the neighborhood office. She should be paid well. In addition, there is a little girl who is his sister's child."

At this point, Yan Jiecheng frowned slightly, "Logically, that girl should call him uncle, but she has always called him brother. I don't understand. Anyway, whenever there is something big or small in our courtyard, this kid is the one who comes forward to deal with it."

"He is truly the head of the family." Yu Li muttered to herself. She had previously thought that Lu Zhenyuan said that on purpose to tease her.

On the other hand, Lu Zhenyuan had no idea that two people were talking about him behind his back.

When he returned to the courtyard, he happened to catch a good show.

"Shazhu, stop right there!" Jia Dongxu got a carrying pole from someone and was swinging it vigorously, chasing after Shazhu.

Shazhu was running in front and shouting, "Brother Dongxu! I told you I didn't see it, why are you so rude!"

"You still said that!"

Jia Dongxu became furious upon hearing this and chased Sha Zhu around the yard again.

"What's going on, Old Yan?"

Lu Zhenyuan pushed his bicycle and walked up to Yan Bugui and asked.

"???"

There was no sound around him, and Lu Zhenyuan looked over and saw Yan Bugui rubbing his fingers and licking his lips.

This is a cigarette.

Lu Zhenyuan grinned and patted his shoulder with a fake smile, "Old Yan, guess who I ran into when I just came back?"

"Who?"

"Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, I treated them to soda. Old Yan, I just wanted to ask what's going on in the hospital, and this is all you want?" As he spoke, he rubbed his hands.

Yan Bugui immediately smiled shyly, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it."

"Hey, Teacher Yan is not in a position to speak, so I'll say it!" An excited voice interrupted, and it came from Xu Damao who was leaning against the front of the hall watching the fun.

"Shazhu saw Qin Huairu washing clothes and looked into the seams of her clothes. Jia Dongxu caught him. Now he's going to settle the score with him, haha." Xu Damao said with a sly grin.

Watching Shazhu getting humiliated is such a happy thing, I have to have a good time in the evening!

Lu Zhenyuan suddenly realized and glanced at the pile of melon seed shells under Xu Damao's feet.

"Xu Damao, you know it very well. You are not staring at Qin Huairu, are you? Also, don't just smile, remember to sweep up the melon seed shells."

At this time, Jia Dongxu was running from the central courtyard chasing Sha Zhu and happened to hear these words.

A pair of furious eyes immediately fell on Xu Damao who was laughing strangely beside him.

The latter was frightened and trembled.

"Jia Dongxu! Don't listen to his nonsense!"

"Die to me!"

Jia Dongxu didn't care and hit Xu Damao with a carrying pole, causing Xu Damao to stagger.

To others, it might sound like Lu Zhenyuan was deliberately making trouble, but he noticed that in addition to Sha Zhu, Xu Damao's eyes were also not honest, and he only restrained himself after seeing him come out.

And Sha Zhu was watching with great interest right in front of him, it would be strange if he didn't beat Sha Zhu up.

"Hey!"

Xu Damao wailed from the beating and almost fell down.

This scene made Shazhu so amused that he forgot to run away for a moment. Seeing this, Jia Dongxu also hit him back.

This blow was much heavier than the one he gave Xu Damao. It made Sha Zhu grimace in pain. He immediately became furious and shouted at the top of his voice: "Jia Dongxu, you've hit me enough, it's time to let go of your anger. If you hit me again, I'll fight back!"

Just then, a provocative voice was heard.

"Look, you've admitted to peeking at someone else's wife. Pah, you're greedy for someone else's wife's body, you idiot!"

Sha Zhu looked at Lu Zhenyuan with bloodshot eyes.

Meanwhile, Jia Dongxu was stimulated to the point of entering a red-temperature state, swinging his carrying pole like he was invincible. Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were so frightened that they didn't even bother to settle the score with Lu Zhenyuan and started fleeing around the compound.

They didn't run outside. After all, if they did, the whole alley would know about their "glorious deeds", so they just ran back and forth in the yard.

Both of them knew that once Jia Dongxu was out of strength, they would be safe, and they just had to wait it out.

But now there are two of them, they don't necessarily have to waste time with Jia Dongxu, they just need to run faster than the other one being chased.
