Get something in the courtyard

Wang Kun knew that someone in the courtyard must want to take his house, but he didn't care. With his current status, no one dared to touch his house unless he agreed.

We moved to a new house and invited Tian Youfu and his family to come over for dinner.

This time it was a private house with its own yard, so there was no need to worry about anyone being jealous, so Wang Kun prepared a bunch of extra delicious food.

The chef Sha Zhu was the one who cooked the meal. Seeing so many ingredients, he was a little jealous: "You will enjoy a good life in the future. You can eat whatever you want at home."

Wang Kun said with a smile: "If you want, then work harder, buy a small yard, and move out."

Sha Zhu said, "Just wait, I will buy a house soon."

Guo Xianghong interrupted him: "Behave yourself. If I hadn't stopped you two days ago, you would have leaked the news."

Seeing Guo Xianghong speak, Sha Zhu dared not speak. He was caught bragging to others in the back kitchen cafeteria two days ago by Guo Xianghong. He thought that everyone in the cafeteria was his own people, but Guo Xianghong didn't think so. The people in the cafeteria might not deliberately harm him, but as long as the news was leaked, it would reach the ears of Yi Zhonghai and others.

If Yi Zhonghai and the others knew about this, they would not let Sha Zhu off easily.

Tian Youfu and a few others were also a little envious, but they had no extra income and could not earn that much money to buy a house.

Liu Yuhua was eager to try, and kept chasing Ran Qiuye to ask how to buy it. Among the people present, her family was also quite powerful. Both husband and wife were regular workers in the steel mill, and their salary was not bad.

After the party, only Wang Kun's family was left.

The rooms had been arranged long ago, Congcong lived in one room, Xueer and Huihui lived in another. Xueer didn't come back today because she had to go to school.

I have to say, it is very comfortable to live by yourself. The family felt no strangeness at all and quickly got familiar with the new home.

As for the news about Siheyuan, Wang Kun could only occasionally hear some from Sha Zhu and his people. He did not pay much attention to it.

After Wang Kun left, Yi Zhonghai felt that the sky was bluer and the water was clearer. He felt more confident and bold in his actions in the courtyard.

Those who suffer become fools.

Even if Sha Zhuer came back in the middle of the night, he would be stopped in the yard and given a moral lecture.

Sha Zhu, who didn't need to go out to cook, often took his wife and children to Wang Kun's house for refuge.

Faced with Yi Zhonghai's rogue tactics, Sha Zhu had no way to deal with it.

Wang Kun had money, but it was difficult to lend it to him. It was difficult to explain where the money came from.

Someone suggested to Sha Zhu that he go to his big boss and borrow money from him first. He was very unhappy about this as he felt that it would make his big boss think that he was unable to support his wife.

To die is to face and suffer.

That day, two unexpected people came to the yard.

Yu Li came home with Yan Jiecheng, carrying a bag of apples.

“Your home is so beautifully decorated.”

Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng were watching and muttering to themselves. Judging from the Yan family's temperament, they were probably calculating how much the things in the house were worth.

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

Yu Li reacted and pulled Yan Jiecheng to stop him from embarrassing himself, then said, "We have something to discuss with Wang Kun?"

Ran Qiuye didn't want to chase him away, so he said, "Then you guys take a seat first, he'll be off work soon."

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help himself and asked, "It must cost a lot of money to decorate your house like this!"

Ran Qiuye had lived in the courtyard for so many years that she had long understood the Yan family's temperament, so she said, "My parents were afraid that the two children would be wronged, so they bought things and brought them here. Now that they have bought the things, they cannot return them."

Yu Li glared at Yan Jiecheng and told him not to ask these questions. Then she talked to Ran Qiuye about something else. Ran Qiuye found out from the conversation that they were not here to borrow a house, so she felt relieved.

When Wang Kun returned home and saw the two people, his first reaction was to borrow the house. Yan Bugui's family had a house, and the two temporary houses were still empty.

Yan Jiecheng wanted to let his child move in, so he went to find Yan Bugui. But he failed, because even if it was his own grandson, Yan Bugui would still ask for money, and at most he would give Yan Jiecheng a discount.

"Why are you here?"

Yu Li smiled and said, "We have something to ask you."

"whats the matter?"

"That's right. We see many people starting businesses outside. Is this allowed?"

Wang Kun looked at Yu Li with a higher opinion of her. Businesses have just been allowed in the south, and the first business license for self-employed people has just been issued. Although the north has also been liberalized, people are not as bold as those in the south.

Yu Li was able to see this opportunity, and her vision was indeed good. Unfortunately, after so many years of experience in the Yan family, she had learned all the bad habits of the Yan family. With these bad habits, her business was destined to be small.

“You want to do business.”

Yu Li nodded.

"Then go for it. Reform and opening up are always being talked about, and the country also encourages everyone to do business."

Yan Jiecheng asked carefully: "But we are afraid that it will be the same as before."

Wang Kun smiled and said, "Don't worry. Things like that won't happen again. There are many people doing business in the south now. Those who started early have made a fortune. They drive cars when they go out. Besides, if you go out and see, there are many people doing business in BJ. Nothing will happen."

After hearing Wang Kun's assurance, the two left with smiles on their faces.

Ran Qiuye asked worriedly, "Are you so sure?"

"Don't worry, I won't say anything I'm not sure of. They came to ask about such a good opportunity to make money, and if I don't tell them, they will definitely blame us when they find out that others have made money."

Ran Qiuye nodded: "By the way, from what I heard from Yu Li, it seems that she is planning to borrow money from me."

"You didn't agree!"

"No. I don't even know how to run a business, how dare I lend it to her."

Wang Kun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you didn't agree. Yu Li has a good eye, but with the Yan family's temperament, this business won't be very successful. You may even lose money in the early stages. Don't agree easily."

When Ran Qiuye thought about the calculating nature of the Yan family, she knew that Wang Kun was right. It was not wrong to calculate at home. But if you want to do business, you will probably fail if you calculate like that.

Outside, Yu Li and her husband were also discussing business matters.

Yu Li said to Yan Jiecheng, "You heard it now. Even Director Wang Kun said that he can do business, so he can do it."

Yan Jiecheng said with envy: "Wife, you are right. Let's go back and prepare to do business. When we make money, we will buy a yard like Wang Kun's. Then, we will also buy a color TV and a large refrigerator for our home."

Yu Li, however, poured cold water on him: "Don't be too happy too soon. Doing business requires capital. We don't have that much money."

Yu Li eventually found a job, and the couple both made money, which made life easier for the family. But after all, the time was short, and their salaries were not good, so they did not save much money.

Yan Jiecheng stood there thinking for a long time before he said, "It's okay. Others don't have money, but our dad definitely has money. Let's go find him and trick him into buying shares. That way we'll have the capital."

Yu Li said, "Our father is a money-hungry person, will he agree to buy in?"

"If you don't agree, can't we just borrow it? Didn't you hear Wang Kun say that people in the south are driving cars? It would be better if he doesn't invest." (End of this chapter)
