Get something in the courtyard

Qin Huairu went home to get some money, bought a tricycle, and put it in the front yard instead of pushing it to the middle yard. Anyway, no one dared to touch their family's things.

"Great! The tricycle is in the front yard. You can take an old man with you to work from now on."

Bang Geng's face immediately fell: "Mom, why should I take that old man with me?"

"That's right." Jia Zhang supported her grandson.

Qin Huairu said helplessly: "If you don't take him with you, how can he make money for our family? You know, all the money he earns will be yours in the future."

When she heard about the benefits, Jia Zhang's position changed, and she helped Qin Huairu persuade Banggeng: "Your mother is right. Banggeng, that old man has eaten so much for free in our house, he must work for us."

Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhangshi and continued to say to Banggeng: "The eldest uncle likes others to respect the elderly the most. When you see him in the future, please be respectful to him. With his physique, he can still work for our family for many years."

In the face of interests, the two widows teamed up to deceive Banggeng. Banggeng had no choice but to agree and promised to be more respectful and filial to Yi Zhonghai in the future so as not to let Yi Zhonghai see it.

By the time Yi Zhonghai learned the news, everyone in the entire courtyard knew about it, and even people in several nearby courtyards knew the news.

Many people who have just retired and can't stay idle at home are tempted and plan to see what the situation is. If they can really make money, they don't mind going out to make money. They will be satisfied if they can save more money for their children and grandchildren.

But Yi Zhonghai is different. A selfish person like Yi Zhonghai has no intention of contributing to others. He is not willing to go out to work at all.

In his opinion, at his age he should be the ancestor of the courtyard house, just like the deaf old lady did in the past, and accept the filial piety of the young children in the courtyard.

At least we should accept the filial piety of Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu.

So, when he heard the news, Yi Zhonghai was very angry and returned home with a dark face.

Qin Huairu knew that he was angry, but she was not worried. She pulled the reluctant Bang Geng to find Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle, it's all my fault. I accidentally let it slip when I went to Niu Qian to buy a tricycle."

Yi Zhonghai just had a dark face and couldn't say anything. In this situation, what could he say?
You can't say that you don't want to do it in front of Qin Huairu and Banggeng, the two elderly people!

Qin Huairu stretched out his hand and pulled the stem of the stick, making him kneel in front of Yi Zhonghai.

Bang Geng had no choice but to follow Qin Huairu's instructions and said, "Grandpa, I don't want to be such a coward all my life. I want to make money to honor you and my mother. I beg you to take me with you. I will definitely study hard. As long as you take care of me for half a year, I will definitely learn it.

When I make money, we won’t have to ask Shazhu for help anymore.”

Yi Zhonghai was stuck at this moment, not knowing what to do. He was unwilling to agree, but he couldn't refuse.

Qin Huairu knew his thoughts very well, and then said: "The first uncle and the third uncle also want to go find work together. I promised him."

Yan Bugui's thoughts were exactly what Qin Huairu wanted. If Yan Bugui could be brought in, Yi Zhonghai's situation would be much easier.

Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai felt much better when he heard that Yan Bugui was going out to work. This kind of embarrassing thing, if someone accompanies him, then it is not embarrassing.

"This old Yan, he doesn't know anything, why is he joining in the fun?"

When Qin Huairu heard this, she knew that Yi Zhonghai had agreed, and quickly signaled to Bang Geng: "Hurry up and thank the uncle."

Banggeng kowtowed to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Yi Zhonghai sighed in his heart, held the stick and said, "It's not that I don't want to teach you, but when I teach you, I think of your father." Qin Huairu ignored what Yi Zhonghai meant. As long as he agreed to go to work, there would be no problem.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and decided to confirm Yan Bugui's thoughts: "Huai Ru, call Old Yan over. I'll ask him what his plans are."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "I'll ask Banggeng to go find Uncle San. I'll prepare some wine and food, and you can drink and chat with Uncle San."

In order to get Yi Zhonghai to work, Qin Huairu spent a lot of money and prepared some wine and food.

Yan Bugui would never miss a good deal, and when he heard that someone wanted to drink, he would come over happily.

After entering the house, Qin Huairu said, "Third uncle, First uncle heard that you also wanted to go with us, so he asked me to call you over."

Qin Huairu used the same old tricks, deceiving both sides. She told Yi Zhonghai that Yan Bugui was going to work, and then told Yan Bugui that Yi Zhonghai wanted to work.

Unless the two of them check the accounts bit by bit, they won't discover the problem.

Yan Bugui said, "Old Yi, you must take me with you."

Yi Zhonghai was very unhappy with Yan Bugui's meddling and could not help but sneer, "Old Yan, you don't know anything, why are you joining in the fun?"

In order to make money, Yan Bugui would not care so much and said, "I have thought about it. I can keep accounts for them. My accounting skills are absolutely first-class. With me here, they can definitely save a lot of money. Those self-employed people are all individuals, and they definitely like to save money."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless when he saw Yan Bugui even thought of this. He thought to himself that Yan Bugui would do anything to make money.

"You have thought it through, so I won't try to persuade you. By the way, should we talk to Lao Liu about this? If we don't tell him, I'm afraid he will be unhappy when he finds out."

Qin Huairu volunteered, "I'll go find the second uncle."

She had calculated it very clearly. According to Yi Zhonghai's plan, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui would have no one to take care of them in their old age. In the end, she would have to unite the power of the three uncles and force Sha Zhu to take care of them in their old age.

Even though some accidents have happened and Shazhu is disobedient, the fact that the three old men have no one to take care of them in their old age will not change.

She was entangled by Yi Zhonghai, and she definitely couldn't run away. Given Yi Zhonghai's temper, he would most likely unite the three uncles to support her in her old age.

Since she couldn't escape, the savings of the three uncles were crucial. The more money the three of them made now, the more she would get in the future.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui both went out to earn money for her, and Liu Haizhong was naturally no exception.

Liu Haizhong came to Yi Zhonghai's house puzzled: "Old Yi, why did you and Old Yan come to me for work?"

Yi Zhonghai immediately put the blame on Yan Bugui: "Old Yan listened to Wang Kun and wanted to go out and find a job to earn money. I agreed. I was afraid that if I didn't tell you, you would feel disrespected after you knew it, so I asked Huairu to call you over."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he quickly refused: "Don't you think about how old you are? Why do you still want to go out to work? If you want to go, go ahead. Anyway, I won't go. I am a blacksmith, and I rely on my strength. I am old now and can't do any work.

If those self-employed factories need leaders, I am willing to go there. As for workers, forget it!"

Yi Zhonghai felt bitter. If there was a way, he would not go to work even if he was beaten to death. But isn't there any other way? Sha Zhu is unreliable, and his pension is not much. Qin Huairu forced him with the righteousness, what can he do?
Yan Bugui had a different idea. He thought Liu Haizhong was dreaming. Which self-employed business owner would invite him to be a leader? If there was such a factory, he would never dare to go.

Qin Huairu wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to do it, so he had to give up. (End of this chapter)
