Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

After arguing for a long time on the road, Yan Bugui was completely at a disadvantage. When he returned to the courtyard, his face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, and he looked very creepy.

"Old Liu, we have been friends for so many years, are you really unwilling to help me?"

Before parting, Yan Bugui negotiated with Liu Haizhong again.

"Yan Bugui, don't try to get anything on me.

I won't pay a penny more.

You should put your energy elsewhere."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he led his two sons and headed towards the backyard without looking back.

Yan Bugui was left standing there alone in a daze.

"Asshole, I invited him to my house for a drink yesterday, but he showed no mercy at all!"

Yan Bugui cursed and did not go back to the house. Instead, he hurried to the middle courtyard.

Having lost so much money, Yan Bugui had to find a way to make up for the shortfall.

Since they can't make money from the manager, they try to fleece other neighbors.

Yan Bugui came to the outside of Yi's house and saw Yi Zhonghai teasing his son through the open door.

Since adopting Yi Cunxiao, Yi Zhonghai would squeeze in time during his lunch break every day to go back to the courtyard to look after the child.

Fortunately, the steel rolling mill is not far from the courtyard, only ten minutes' walk away. Apart from being a little tired, Yi Zhonghai will not be delayed in his work.

"Old Yi, teasing your son."

Yi Zhonghai carefully put his son back into the cradle, turned to look at Yan Bugui at the door, and said, "Old Yan, how are Jie Cheng and the others? What exactly happened?"

Yi Zhonghai was just a bystander last night and had no idea what was going on.

Thanks to this, he was not involved and did not have to go to the street office to answer Cheng Hao's questioning.

"Don't mention it. All four children fainted."

Yan Bugui sighed, his face showing sorrow, and said in a sad voice: "I am the only one left at home now. Oh, what a sin..."

Now that he has a child, Yi Zhonghai can more or less understand Yan Bugui's feelings.

If Yi Cunxiao fainted from illness, Yi Zhonghai would definitely be extremely anxious.

"Don't worry, haven't they all been sent to the hospital?

It will be fine. ”

Yi Zhonghai consoled him for a few words, and Yan Bugui immediately took up the topic, pleading, "Old Yi, I'm the one in trouble this time. We've been friends for more than ten years, you can't just stand by and watch."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was slightly startled. The sympathy in his heart disappeared in an instant and his expression became serious.

The previous parts are all preparation, and the last sentence is the main topic.

"Of course I won't stand by and watch, but I'm busy with work and taking care of the children, so I'm really too busy lately."

Yi Zhonghai evaded the question cautiously.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai did not take the bait easily, Yan Bugui simply laid his cards on the table and spoke out his thoughts directly.

“When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid.

I'm short of money recently and can't even pay the medical bills, so I want my neighbors to donate some money to help me through this difficult time.

what do you think? "

not so good!

Yi Zhonghai said this in his heart, but his face remained calm as he consoled him: "I can help convene a meeting of the entire hospital, but you have to talk to the neighbors yourself. If it doesn't work, don't blame me."

Raising a child is expensive, and Yi Zhonghai does not have any extra funds to help Yan Bugui.

That's the limit of helping to hold up the scene.

"Ok."

Yan Bugui didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to pay him money, he was glad that he could help fool the neighbors.

……

That evening, the whole institute meeting was held on time after dinner.

In the cold autumn wind, neighbors, old and young, gathered in the middle courtyard carrying small stools.

As soon as everyone arrived, Yan Bugui, who was sitting next to the square table, stood up hurriedly and complained to everyone.

“Because of an accident last night, all four of my children became seriously ill and are now lying in hospital beds.

As everyone knows, ever since the child's mother was implicated by Jia Zhang and sent to prison, there has been no one in my family to take care of the household chores.

I am busy with work and don’t have time to take care of them, so I would like to ask everyone to help…”

Yan Bugui came up with a miserable speech, expressing the helplessness and sadness of his family. His words were sincere and brought tears to people's eyes.

However, most of the neighbors present looked confused, as if they did not understand what Yan Bugui was saying.

Behind the crowd, He Yuzhu shook his head secretly, his hands moving non-stop as he handed the peeled peanut kernels to his wife.

Qin Huairu put a mouthful of peanuts in her mouth and asked in a low voice: "Zhu Zi, what is the Third Master doing tonight?"

Having lived in the courtyard for several years, Qin Huairu was not an ignorant novice. She knew the situation of the Yan family very well. They were definitely not at the end of their rope. Coming out to cry and complain at this time would only be futile and make people laugh at her.

"Some people are obsessed with money, their brains go crazy, and they just do whatever they want.

Let's not meddle in it and just watch the fun quietly."

As the person involved, He Yuzhu knows everything in his mind, but he just doesn't want to say it out loud.

"Uncle, what you said is wrong.

You usually have a job and your neighbors also have jobs.

Everyone is busy, how can they have time to help you take care of the four of them? "

A sudden voice came from the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Damao looking at Yan Bugui with disdain.

The night before yesterday, the three old men who had just returned to the courtyard used Xu Damao to establish their authority. Xu Damao's wounds from the beating had not yet healed, and he was still holding back his anger.

Now that he has encountered such a good opportunity, Xu Damao will of course find a way to disrupt Yan Bugui's plan and take revenge.

"Xu Damao, it's not your turn to say this.

He is such a grown-up, but he idles around all day long, doing nothing and just wandering around the yard.

Since you have so much free time, why don't you go to the hospital and help take care of Yan Jiecheng and the others? "

Faced with the troublemaker who jumped out to cause trouble, Yan Bugui immediately fought back.

"Okay, give me 10,000 a day and I promise to take good care of the four of them."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up and he climbed up the pole directly.

After being idle at home for more than half a year, Xu Damao was almost sick, and Xu Fugui and his wife's patience was almost exhausted.

Xu Damao was eager to go out and find a job and earn some money.

"Xu Damao, you are so embarrassed to ask me for money for just such a small favor?"

The moment Qian Yanbugui was mentioned, he instantly lost his composure.

He was planning to ask his neighbors for money tonight, but he was not willing to pay any money.

"Why are you embarrassed? The hospital doesn't charge for hiring nurses.

Taking care of four people is not an easy job. I only charge you 10,000 yuan a day. I am giving you a discount because we have been neighbors for many years.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't be willing to do it without 20,000 yuan."

Xu Damao held his head high, looking as if it was a matter of course.

"Brothers should settle accounts openly. We have been neighbors for many years, so there is no need to hide anything. I will set a price. As long as you pay, I will definitely do the job well.

Don’t you think so?”

"Everyone has work during the day, so they don't have time to help take care of your children."

"Yes, there is no reason for Xu Damao to work for nothing.

Uncle, hurry up and pay up~"

The neighbors began to make a fuss and urged Yan Bugui and Xu Damao to get started quickly.

Yan Bugui's mind was completely focused on Xu Damao, so he had no time to think about them.

"Quiet, please be quiet!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yi Zhonghai had to step forward to clean up the situation.
