Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 211 Smart Yu Li
Yan Jiekuang was listening to Yang Ruiping talking about the Siheyuan, and suddenly he felt that the Siheyuan was still interesting, with something new every day. After chatting with Yang Ruiping for a while, he went to the backyard alone.

As soon as he stepped through the Moon Gate, Yan Jiekuang ran into Xu Damao head-on. When Xu Damao saw Yan Jiekuang, he trotted over excitedly, which scared Yan Jiekuang.

Xu Damao asked enthusiastically, "How come you have time to come here today?"

Yan Jiekuang understood that Xu Damao wanted him to join the group and contribute money, but he pretended that he didn't know and said, "Come back to see my parents and visit the old man as well."

Xu Damao nodded and said, "I've seen you've been a filial child since you were young. You've been to college, you know filial piety, and you know your limits."

When Yan Jiekuang heard Xu Damao praising him like that, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly said, "Stop, Brother Damao, what's the matter?"

Xu Damao looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "You know that I'm going to Shenzhen, right? Let me tell you, Shenzhen is now a special economic zone, so it's built..."

"Stop, stop, I have something to do. Are you okay, brother Damao?" Yan Jiekuang quickly interrupted Xu Damao.

Xu Damao lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't your brother tell you about our fundraising?"

Yan Jiekuang smiled jokingly, looked at Xu Damao and said, "I told you it's unreliable. Don't forget, I went to Hong Kong Island two years ago. I know the situation there better than you."

Xu Damao was stunned and said, "Look at my memory. Do you think the third brother is unreliable?"

Yan Jiekuang said: "This kind of thing is okay for small-scale operations, but if you do it in batches, that's smuggling, you know? Bang." As he said that, Yan Jiekuang made a pistol gesture with his hand and pointed it at Xu Damao's head.

Xu Damao was shocked. Yan Jiekuang continued, "Besides, the electronic watches sold in Shenzhen are more than ten yuan. Who told you this price?"

Xu Damao raised his wrist and looked at the electronic watch on his wrist. His expression was very rich. First he was surprised, then he was questioning, and finally he was angry. He said, "This Li Huaide lied to me. I'm going to find him."

When Yan Jiekuang heard this, he immediately understood that the fundraising for the courtyard house was an idea proposed by Li Huaide to Xu Damao. This made it even more unreliable. When had Li Huaide ever done anything good?

After seeing Xu Damao leave, Yan Jiekuang turned around and knocked on Grandpa Ji's door. After knocking, he walked straight in. Grandpa Ji was listening to the radio and didn't hear any movement at the door. Grandpa Ji motioned for Yan Jiekuang to sit down.

Yan Jiekuang poured himself a glass of water and sat next to the old man, chatting with him and asking him how he was feeling and how he was eating. The two of them started chatting and before they knew it, it was evening. Yan Jiekuang did not go back to the front yard, but cooked a meal for the old man at Grandpa Ji's place. All of them were home-cooked dishes. The old man usually bought his own groceries as he did not want to trouble the Yan family.

Yan Jiekuang made a bowl of lean meat porridge, and the old man liked it very much. Yan Jiekuang said, "When I have nothing to do, I will come over and make it for you."

Mr. Ji waved his hand and said, "You go about your business. I can take care of myself. I'm not even seventy yet."

After Yan Jiekuang finished his meal with the old man, he left. He said hello to his parents in the front yard and went straight back to Yuer Hutong.

When I got home, I found that Ji Lian was back. Aunt Wang had already gone home. She had cooked before leaving, and the two little ones were enjoying the meal.

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Why did you come back today?"

While taking care of the child, Ji Lian said, "Come back and get the book. I remember you were reading a book about economics and management some time ago. I need it."

Yan Jiekuang said, "They are all in the study room. But, doesn't your school have a library?"

Ji Lian replied, "Yes, but I found that there are very few books on this subject in the library, not as many as yours."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "You haven't seen my collection of books. In terms of the number and categories of books, if I say I'm second, no one dares to say I'm first." Ji Lian rolled her eyes at him, not believing him at all. How could she not know how many books Yan Jiekuang had after living with him for so many years? In fact, Ji Lian really didn't know how many books Yan Jiekuang had, because Yan Jiekuang had never taken out his collection of books, and the books in his study were only a very small part of what he used.

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Are you going back tomorrow?" Ji Lian nodded. Yan Jiekuang was happy and said that he would go to bed early today. Ji Lian was so angry that she hit him a few times.

The two little guys were enjoying their food and ignored the couple.

In the front yard of the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng's family was heatedly discussing the family meeting that took place during the day. Yu Li's mind was not at all on the fact that Xu Damao asked Yan Jiecheng to pay. When she heard what Yan Jiekuang said, she only remembered that electronic watches could be bought in Shenzhen at a very low price.

After returning from Yan Bugui, Yu Li became restless. Yan Jiecheng was a little confused and asked her what was wrong.

Yu Li expressed her thoughts, Yan Jiecheng was shocked, and Yan Yongqing's eyes lit up after hearing it.

Yan Jiecheng said, "It won't work. You decide whether you should go or I should go. If I go, I will have to give up my job. If you go, who will worry about your family?"

It turned out that Yu Li thought that if she bought this electronic watch in Shenzhen and then brought it back to Sijiucheng, she could sell it for ten yuan each and make twenty yuan here, which would be double the profit. With twenty-one watches, she would have no trouble selling them in Sijiucheng, making ten yuan each, and one hundred watches would make one thousand yuan. If she could get two hundred watches in one trip, that would be two thousand yuan.

Yan Yongqing's eyes were already spitting fire. Yu Li only gave him five yuan pocket money a month. He was about to graduate and heard that he also earned twenty yuan a month at work. Although it was enough for him to spend, it was nowhere near as much as what he could earn from this business. Yan Yongqing's eyes turned around.

Yu Li was listening to Yan Jiecheng's words and thinking about it. She knew that Yan Jiekuang was telling the truth.

Yan Yongqing suddenly said, "I'll go with my mother and ask Uncle San to introduce a reliable person. Then everything will be solved."

Yan Jiecheng and his wife were stunned for a moment, then their eyes gradually brightened up as they looked at their son. It's true what Yan Yongqing said was right. Yan Yongqing had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so his fighting skills were not low. With him around, Yu Li should be fine.

The couple mumbled for a long time, and finally decided to do as Yan Yongqing said. Yu Li said: "I have 1,500 yuan here, and I need to buy tickets, hotels and meals. I want to borrow some more from someone."

Yan Jiecheng said, "Okay, how about borrowing some from my dad?" Yu Li shook her head like a rattle and said, "Forget it. If you borrow from your dad, I guess he'll have to take a share. I'll go back to my mother's house to borrow some money tomorrow. You go find the third brother early tomorrow morning and ask him to introduce a reliable person. You and Yan Yongqing go together."

Yan Jiecheng asked, "Then Yan Yongqing can't continue his studies?"

Yan Yongqing said: "If nothing else, I'll just take a few days off. It won't delay anything."

The family of three decided on their own plan to make a fortune. That night, none of them slept well as they were all looking forward to this business.

Early the next morning, Yan Jiekuang welcomed Yan Jiecheng and his son. After listening to Yan Jiecheng's ideas, Yan Jiekuang admired Yu Li very much. It was just a family meeting, but she was able to find the business opportunity that Yan Jiekuang mentioned. She is really a good material for doing business.

Yan Yongqing looked at his uncle expectantly. Yan Jiekuang was happy and said, "It's my family's business, so I have to help. You guys sit down, I'll go out and make a phone call."

The father and son were sitting in the front yard. Although they appeared to be playing with their two nephews, their minds were actually on Yan Jiekuang who had gone out.

Not long after, Yan Jiekuang came back and handed Yan Jiecheng a piece of paper with an address and a name on it. He said, "This is the agent manager of the Lou family's factory in Shenzhen. Go find him. He has already told you everything. However, it's not 200, it's 400. Bring me 200. You don't have to pay for the other 200."

Yan Yongqing jumped up, Yan Jiecheng hugged his third brother, and the two went back happily.

The next day, Yu Li took Yan Yongqing south. For several days in a row, Yan Bugui and Yang Ruiping did not see Yu Li and Yan Yongqing. Yan Bugui became suspicious. On the fourth day after Yu Li and others left, Yan Bugui called Yan Jiecheng to his home and wanted to have a joint trial with Yang Ruiping.
