The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Don't ask him for money. His family is very stingy. Money is more important than life. It's strange that you can get the money. Find a place to beat him up again and forget about it! Let's go. There are two cabinets left. Hurry and bring them back."

Li Wenqiang took out a few dozen dollars and threw them to Liu Ergou. After all, he was his cheap brother-in-law, so he would help him temporarily. If he couldn't do anything, he would just let him fend for himself in the future.

"Brother-in-law is so generous!"

Liu Ergou's mouth was crooked with smile after he got the money. Forty yuan was enough for the four of them to eat for a month.

"Don't spend money recklessly. If I find out that you're still messing around, you'll have to deal with it yourself in the future!"

"No problem, I will definitely listen to you!"

Liu Ergou smiled and said that this brother-in-law was not bad. At least apart from beating him up a few times, he was quite nice to their family.

The two of them moved the bookcase back and forth under Yan Jiecheng's strange gaze. No one paid any attention to him, which made his previous worries dissipate a lot.

"What are you looking at? You're lucky. Be careful next time you meet me, I'll make you pay!"

After Liu Ergou left, he did not forget to threaten Yan Jiecheng, which scared him so much that he ran back home.

Li Wenqiang was too lazy to stop him. This guy was really unlucky, and it was right for him to vent his anger.

After returning to Fuxue Hutong, he talked to Old Man Wu about arranging a marriage for him in two days, and discussed the issue of grain delivery before leaving.

Pull out the remaining three bookcases and throw them into the space.

After looking at the time, he realized that it was only a little past two o'clock after working for so long. Li Wenqiang changed his bicycle and returned to his mother-in-law's house.

When I walked into the yard, it was very quiet. Liu Yuhua was chatting with Liu Ma. I don’t know what they were talking about, but Liu Yuhua’s face turned red when she heard it.

"what are you doing?"

"Wen Qiang is back, but where's Er Gou? Isn't he back yet?"

Aunt Liu smiled at him kindly, with love in her eyes. Her daughter was pretty and sensible, and her son was a jerk who had always been a burden to her. Now that he had found a good family, she could finally give an explanation to her father.

"He should have come back before me. He must have gone out to play! By the way, I found him a job and warned him. Don't worry, he will be obedient in the future."

Li Wenqiang walked up to Liu Yuhua and said casually.

"Really? You found him a job? Oh, that's great! What is it?"

Mother Liu was so surprised that even Liu Yuhua didn't care about being shy and kept looking at him.

"It's my job collecting scraps! If I do a good job, I can earn 50 or 60 yuan a month. Even if I do a bad job, I can still earn 30 or 40 yuan a month. Ergou is used to being wild outside. We need to let him do some work to calm him down."

Li Wenqiang said as he sat down next to Liu Yuhua and put his arms around her waist.

Liu Yuhua blushed, a little uncomfortable with such intimate actions.

When Aunt Liu saw the little actions between the two, a smile appeared on her face, but she still asked him with some concern.

"You gave the job to Ergou, so what will you do? No, you can't give him this job. We have your father's salary at home, so it's okay if he doesn't have a job. As long as you two live well, don't worry about us!"

Liu Yuhua also looked at him with some worry. Although he had said before that he would not do this anymore, she was still a little worried when she heard Li Wenqiang say it in person in front of his mother.

"It's okay. You don't have to work to support your family. In fact, I've wanted to do something else for a long time. Yuhua is so beautiful, I can't let others say that her husband is a rag collector."

Li Wenqiang said jokingly.

"What's the big deal? The teacher has already said that there is no distinction between high and low jobs, and no distinction between high and low professions. As long as we behave properly, let others say what they want."

Seeing him say this, Liu Yuhua felt a little touched and comforted him.

"That being said, my wife is so beautiful, I must become better to be more worthy of her!"

After saying this, Li Wenqiang smiled and kissed her on the face. Liu Yuhua lowered her head in embarrassment.

Aunt Liu watched and laughed.

"So what are you going to do? It's hard to find a job now. The job positions in the factories outside have long been saturated. Since last year, I wanted to spend money to help Ergou find a job, but it never worked out."

After laughing, Aunt Liu said with some concern.

"Don't worry, we won't starve. You forgot, I can get food!"

Li Wenqiang comforted.

"That's true, but you have to keep it a secret and don't let anyone know. Everyone is hungry now, don't let anyone hate you. I heard from my neighbor that people are starving to death outside. In his hometown village in Henan, dozens of people have died out of more than a hundred. It's really a sin!"

As Aunt Liu spoke, she began to feel sorry for the world again, not thinking at all that she had not been living a good life in the past few days either.

"Got it, Mom. Don't worry! I'm careful about these things! The neighbors don't know I have food. If you run out of food, let me know and I'll send it to you right away!"

Li Wenqiang whispered to comfort his mother-in-law, saying that he cooked in the space and never cooked at home, so how would others know?

"It's good that you know what's going on. You two can chat here. Mom will go pack up and have dinner here tonight!"

As Aunt Liu said this, she prepared to sort out the things Li Wenqiang brought over. It had been so long that she hadn't had time to see what they were.

"No, mom, we're going to go home first. We cooked a lot of dishes at home, and it would be a waste if we don't go back to eat them. You should have a good rest at home! Wife, we're leaving first."

Li Wenqiang said this and pulled Liu Yuhua out.

"Wen Qiang, why are you in such a hurry? Just sit for a while!"

When Liu Ma saw Li Wenqiang pulling her daughter out, she hurriedly followed him out.

"No, we have something to do at home, let's go back first!

As soon as Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he pulled Liu Yuhua to the gate of the yard.

"Is there something wrong at home?"

Liu Yuhua asked in confusion.

"No!"

Li Wenqiang said casually.

"Then why did you just say something happened at home!"

Liu Yuhua said with some surprise.

"I put a bucket of oil in the bag. If we don't leave now, Mom will chase us and give it back to us!"

Li Wenqiang leaned close to her ear and whispered.

He understood the mentality of those old people too well. They would let their children take away any good things. Even though his family was so rich in his previous life, his grandparents were like this. It seemed that most old people had this habit.

"Wen Qiang, you are so nice, thank you!"

Liu Yuhua looked at him somewhat moved. In just three days, Li Wenqiang had already brought two bags of food home. Although she didn't know how much the barrel of oil he was talking about was, it was estimated that it would not be less.

The importance of grain and oil is self-evident. Just listen to the gossips spread by word of mouth and their food situation. These two bags of grain are worth a fortune.

"Silly boy, you are my wife and your mother is my mother. Why are you thanking me? Hurry up and get in the car. There is a surprise waiting for you at home!"

Li Wenqiang had already imagined how she would look when she came home and saw the house full of books.

"What surprise?"

"You'll know when you get back!"

The two rode their bikes towards home.
