Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

But the two families had separated, and his eldest son listened to his wife, so he had no choice.

Yan Bugui didn't like Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, and the couple didn't get close to Yan Bugui. They lived a good life on their own.

So the two of them had never been to this restaurant very often, they just occasionally passed by and took a look.

Unexpectedly, the first time I officially came here was after Yan Bugui was arrested.

But the more Yu Li looked, the weirder her expression became.

It has to be said that Yu Li is worthy of being the first person to do business in the courtyard. She does have some talent. After taking a look around inside and outside, she returned to Yan Jiecheng and the others, sighed, and shook her head.

"Well, forget it. Let's not open this restaurant."

Before Yan Jiecheng could say anything, Yan Jiekuang became anxious. The restaurant couldn't be closed. His parents were both arrested. If he couldn't keep the business, where would he find a partner?

He doesn't want to be a bachelor forever.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you open the shop? Isn't everything ready for this guy? Fatty has gone home these two days. Call him back tomorrow and we can open the shop right away."

Yan Jiecheng also looked at his wife curiously, but he didn't say anything when he didn't know what Yu Li meant.

Yu Li looked at the two of them. She no longer had any interest in this restaurant.

"Jie Kuang, the restaurant's business is not good."

Yu Li told her brother-in-law that she didn't want to be blamed and it would be better to make things clear.

Yan Jiekuang nodded upon hearing this.

Business has indeed been getting worse recently.

Yu Li sighed.

"Look at this place. It's almost at the end of the alley. If it weren't for the plaque, not only passers-by, but even neighbors wouldn't know there's a restaurant here. Besides, the name is wrong. I don't even know the characters. People can't even tell you what your restaurant is called. Who would come here again?"

After hearing this, the Yan Jiecheng brothers both nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Especially Yan Jiekuang, he had been coming to the store for such a long time, and he originally felt that something was wrong. Now that Yu Li said so, it was indeed the case.

But Yu Li didn't stop.

"That's not all. Originally, although there were few people, we could still get some, but now it's different. Our family's affairs have spread everywhere. This incident has a significant impact. If the restaurant continues to operate, there will be no more customers coming in the future."

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang both looked worried after hearing this. Now the two brothers' minds are all on the restaurant. As for Yan Bugui, well, his ability is limited, so he should just take care of himself first.

"So, is this restaurant really going bankrupt?"

Yan Jiekuang was still unwilling to give in.

Yu Li glanced at her brother-in-law, her eyes sparkling.

"You have to apply for a new license, change the name and signboard. Why bother opening a business here? If you have to open a business, find another place."

"Change location..."

"Jie Kuang, our father hasn't been able to make any money these years, do you know where the money is?

I'm not saying this to be discouraging as your sister-in-law. My parents and my second son will most likely not be able to come back, but we still have to live outside. If our lives are good, we can visit them occasionally and send them some clothes and food.

As for my sister-in-law, I won't take advantage of you. Let's divide the money. I'll also open a restaurant, but not here. If you want to open one, this place is reserved for you. If you don't want to, go to my sister-in-law's restaurant.

But let me be frank, this place really doesn't make money anymore, and I can't bear to see your money go to waste."

After listening to Yu Li's words, Yan Jiekuang fell into deep thought. Influenced by Yu Li's words, he was now thinking not about whether to give money to his eldest brother and his wife who had already separated from the family, but about opening a restaurant.

After listening to Yu Li's analysis, he also agreed with the point of view that this place really does not make money.

If he wants to do it, he has to change his place, but if he is asked to do it by himself, he doesn't know how to do it. He has to follow his elder brothers to do this.

Although his eldest brother and his wife have separated from his family, he is still his biological brother after all. And to be honest, as the eldest in the family, Yan Jiecheng is more concerned about his younger brothers and sisters. After all, they are his biological brothers and sisters, and he is much more generous than Yan Bugui.

So, they hit it off immediately, and while Yan Bugui was still locked up, the brothers and sisters took out all the money in the house and divided it up.

Even his daughter Yan Jiedi got a small portion.

The Yan family’s place is so small that it is not difficult to find the money that Yan Bugui hid.

It’s true, Yan Bugui has saved a lot over the years.

After dividing the money, they sat together to discuss opening a restaurant.

Yu Li was also happy to take her brother-in-law with her. The two of them were too busy to handle the whole thing, so having her brother-in-law join in and then finding Fatty to be the chef saved her from gossip.

Although other chefs can be found, they are not as cheap as the fat man.

"We can't stay in this street anymore. If we move to another place, everyone will know about us. I think we should go farther away. That way, even if they know about us, they won't know us. And they don't have to stay in the inner city. Let's go around these few days and see if there is a suitable place."

Finally, we found a place on the main road, far away from Nanluoguxiang and almost outside the city.

It is close to the main road, with a lot of people and vehicles coming and going, the place is large, and the rent is not expensive.

Looking at the spacious bungalow in front of her, Yu Li was very satisfied.

This place is a hundred times better than the one chosen by my father-in-law.

After a simple renovation, Yu Li found Fatty, and a few days later, Chunfeng Hotel officially opened for business.

I have to say that Yu Li is indeed better at doing business than Yan Bugui. The fat guy's cooking skills are indeed average, so she should focus on the quantity. The dishes at Chunfeng Restaurant are all large in size and the prices are not high. The business is much better than Yan Bugui's Canyangzhai.

Yan Bugui and his son were originally scheduled to be sentenced together after Zhou Changli was arrested.

But this time Zhou Changli was like a loach and could never be caught.

In the end, Yan Bugui and others were sentenced first.

After investigation, it was found that Yan Bugui's criminal gang had a huge share of reselling and it was a gang crime. Originally, they were going to be punished. This was no small matter. Just look at what happened to Wang Laowu before.

It’s just that reform and opening up have just begun at this time, so it’s a bit sensitive.

The higher-ups are also afraid that if they really give them peanuts, it will scare away those who really want to do legitimate business.

It was considered a leniency for them, and Yan Jiefang was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Yan Bugui and his wife were also going to be sentenced to life imprisonment, but considering that they are already old, the sentence was commuted to 15 years. After 15 years, they will be almost the same age.

This seems to be a lighter punishment, but there is no essential difference.

Yan Bugui did a good thing by not saying where the money he earned was until the end. After knowing that Zhou Changli was still on the run, the Yan family once again pushed all the blame on Zhou Changli.
