Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Liu Guiying frowned and asked, "Who could it be from our courtyard? Could it be Liu Haizhong?!"

Yi Zhonghai sneered, "Relying on Liu Haizhong, a fool? He definitely doesn't have the ability. After thinking about it, the only one I can think of is Xu Wude."

Liu Guiying said: "The Xu family and the He family have always been at odds. And you and Xu Wude have no conflict of interest, so how could he plot against you?!"

Yi Zhonghai thought about what his wife said and felt that there was some truth in it. Yi Zhonghai frowned and muttered, "Who is plotting against me? This is too abnormal!"

Liu Guiying urged, "Old Yi, don't think about it! Let's eat!"

"Hey!" Yi Zhonghai responded, took the steamed bun handed to him by his wife, and began to eat it thoughtfully.

At the same time, Jia Zhang returned home and took a look at the food on the table. Her face instantly turned very ugly. Jia Zhang asked: "Qin Huairu, my grandson is injured, and you feed him these things?!"

Qin Huairu said, "Mom, the nutrition coupons issued by the hospital have been used up. Without nutrition coupons, they won't sell meat and bones. What can I do?!"

Jia Zhang said, "Bang Geng is your son. Are you just going to watch his wound heal?!"

"Mom!" Qin Huairu cried out, crying, "Banggeng is a piece of flesh that fell from my body. How could I not wish him the best?!"

Jia Zhang sneered, "I don't think so! If you really care about Banggeng, you would have found a way long ago. Let's not talk about anything else, just that stupid guy Shazhu, he calls you Sister Qin all the time when he sees you. Can't you ask your good brother for some?!"

Qin Huairu said, "Mom! You saw what happened that day. If Shazhu wanted to give it to us, he would have given it to us long ago."

"You useless thing! Where are you going?! I tell you, when Shazhu comes back today, if you don't ask him to bring you the lunch box, don't even think about entering our Jia family again!" After saying that, Jia Zhang walked to the table and sat down, grabbed a steamed bun and took a vicious bite.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu had no choice but to serve her son and daughter first. She could deal with the rest later.

Yi Zhonghai had lunch, rested at home for a while, and came to the deaf old lady's house. The deaf old lady, who was leaning on the bed with her eyes closed, opened her eyes when she heard the noise, looked at Yi Zhonghai, and asked: "Zhonghai, how did the factory punish you this time?!"

Yi Zhonghai replied: "You will be demoted to a third-level worker and will not be able to participate in professional title assessment and advanced selection within five years."

The deaf old lady said, "Zhong Hai, you must learn from your mistakes. Don't suffer such a loss again in the future."

Yi Zhonghai replied: "Old lady, don't worry! I know what's going on. But I just can't figure it out, who told Sha Zhu?!"

The deaf old lady replied, "I was thinking about this question too. There are many things wrong with this matter. I suspected Xu Wude, but he didn't have the time. Liu Haizhong is a fool, he definitely doesn't have the ability to scheme. Yan Bugui is a bit stingy, he would never do such a thing. The rest of the people in our courtyard, except for the people of the Jia family, would not do anything to harm others behind their backs. Or, you must have offended someone outside and they are taking revenge on you."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly defended himself, "Old lady, you know me. It is impossible for me to offend anyone outside. It is even more impossible for me to have a grudge against others."

The deaf old lady said, "It's no use believing you. This time you were targeted and you managed to escape death, but what about next time? There is a saying that a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. You'd better find a way as soon as possible to find the person hiding in the dark and giving advice to Sha Zhu. One more day of this person means one more day of trouble."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Old lady, the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. Isn't it hard to find them?!"

The deaf old lady stared at Yi Zhonghai, cursed in her heart: "Waste!" Then she closed her eyes again. Yi Zhonghai saw that the deaf old lady ignored him. There was no point in him staying here, so he said hello to the deaf old lady and left the deaf old lady's house.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye it was three o'clock in the afternoon. He Yuzhu left the steel mill with his lunch box, and instead of going home, he came to Wang Matchmaker's house. When Wang Matchmaker, who had just returned, saw He Yuzhu, she immediately smiled brightly and greeted him: "Xiao He, you're here?!"

He Yuzhu asked, "Aunt Wang, how is the matter I asked you to do going?!"

Matchmaker Wang smiled and replied, "Is there anything I can't accomplish? I've already made an agreement with the girl. The day after tomorrow, Sunday, I'll go with you to propose marriage early in the morning."

"Thank you, Aunt Wang!" He Yuzhu agreed with a smile and asked, "Aunt Wang, I'm going to propose marriage the day after tomorrow. What should I bring?!"

Matchmaker Wang said, "If you are well-off, bring some cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and snacks. If you are not well-off, bring some candy and snacks. The candy doesn't have to be very good, just ordinary hard candy will do. In addition, I have agreed with the girl that the betrothal gift is 20 yuan. This cannot be less."

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Thank you, Aunt Wang! I understand. Don't worry!" He Yuzhu took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Aunt Wang, this is a little gift from me. When the matter is settled, I will give you a generous reward."

"Then I won't be polite!" Matchmaker Wang took the money with a smile and said, "Xiao He, on the day of the proposal, you should dress yourself up well. This is a major event in a person's life, so you can't be careless."

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Aunt Wang, don't worry! I know what to do! Then let's make a deal. I'll come to see you at seven o'clock the day after tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry! I won't forget!" After Wang the matchmaker sent He Yuzhu away, her face and heart were filled with joy.

He Yuzhu left Wang's house and rushed to the gate of Red Star Middle School. Not long after, He Yushui came out with his classmates. He Yuzhu waved and called out, "Yushui!"

When He Yushui heard the call, he immediately said goodbye to his classmates, ran to He Yuzhu, and asked, "Brother, why are you here?!"

He Yuzhu said: "It's done."

He Yushui asked: "Brother, did you get the letter back?!"

He Yuzhu nodded and replied, "The letter and the money have been taken back. The bank is still open. I'll take you to the bank and deposit the money."

He Yushui asked: "Brother, how much money do you have?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "More than 2,800 yuan. 2,000 is his compensation to us. More than 800 yuan is the living expenses that He Daqing sent us. The compensation is half to you and half to me. The living expenses are all yours."

He Yushui said: "Brother, you also have a share of the living expenses, why are you giving it all to me?!"

He Yuzhu said, "He Daqing had already arranged a job for me when he left. He said it was living expenses for both of us, but it was actually for you." Then he urged, "Hurry up! If you go too late, the bank will be closed."

"Hey!" He Yushui responded and followed He Yuzhu to the bank.

Nowadays, people like to keep their money at home and rarely deposit it in the bank. After He Yuzhu took He Yushui to the bank, they quickly deposited the money. After leaving the bank, He Yuzhu took He Yushui and sat down on the stone steps at the door of the bank. He took out the letter and handed it to He Yushui, saying, "This is the letter he gave us."

He Yushui took the letter and asked, "Brother, have you read it?!"
