Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 213 News leaked
Yan Jiekuang had never thought that Yan Yongqing wanted to start his own business by setting up a street stall. He pondered for a while and said to Yan Yongqing, "In fact, your mother's business this time was based on the help of those unemployed young people who returned to the city."

Yan Yongqing frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with them?"

Yan Jiekuang went on to say, "Your mother and you didn't get into trouble for setting up stalls because no one was investigating. Do you know how many people who returned to the city are unemployed? Without a job, there is no income. Now state-owned enterprises can't employ them, so they can only set up stalls to make a living, so the relevant departments turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it."

Only then did Yan Yongqing realize that this was the reason why no one cared about his street stall.

Yan Jiekuang went on to say, "But if you resell in large quantities, you will definitely be targeted, whether it's the gangsters in the black market or the ghost market, or the relevant departments, you will be in trouble. This kind of business is only safe once in a while. The two hundred I want are to be put in the ghost market, so that no one will target you. If I'm not mistaken, your mother will have a lot of people looking for her during this period."

Yan Yongqing stood up immediately. He only saw the profits and didn't expect there would be so many things to deal with. Looking at the somewhat flustered Yan Yongqing, Yan Jiekuang said, "Don't worry, I will release these two hundred stocks in a day or two, and then no one will come to you."

Yan Yongqing was skeptical, but he still sat down quietly and said, "Uncle San, you mean it's very risky to do this kind of business now, so when can we do it?"

Yan Jiekuang stood up, walked to Yan Yongqing and said, "Just go to the subdistrict office and take over honestly. It will take another one or two years. Besides, you haven't learned anything yet. You will cry if you lose money. When you have nothing to do, read more books on economics and management. You will have a chance in two years. Don't worry."

Yan Yongqing listened to what his uncle said and nodded. He always thought that his uncle was a wise man, so he stopped thinking about it. However, he was still thinking about his mother and wondered if anyone was harassing her. So he stood up and said, "I'll listen to you, uncle. I have to go back and take a look."

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "Go ahead and tell your mother that she will be fine after two days of holding on."

Yan Yongqing left. Just as Yan Jiekuang was about to go and see the two little ones, Aunt Wang brought Wang Qing in. Yan Jiekuang thanked Aunt Wang and then received Wang Qing in the study again.

But Wang Qing knew why Yan Jiekuang was looking for him, so he stood up and excitedly wanted to go and see the goods. Yan Jiekuang said, "The goods are at home and they can't run away. Let me tell you the price of this batch of goods."

Wang Qing sat down again after hearing this. Yan Yongqing said, "I bought this watch for ten yuan, of course, I also had to pay for travel expenses, meals and accommodation, I won't count, I'll just give you fifteen yuan. My family has already set up a stall on the street and sold two hundred watches. You can take these two hundred watches to the ghost market. No matter how much you sell them for, I will only charge fifteen yuan each. Come back and tell me your income."

Wang Qing became even more excited after hearing this and said, "Okay, thank you, Third Brother. Just watch."

Wang Qing left with two hundred electronic watches. Yan Jiekuang looked at his back, waiting to see if Wang Qing would give him a surprise.

The next day, Yang Ruiping and Shi Xiaoya brought their two children to Yuer Hutong. Yan Jiekuang was startled and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"

Shi Xiaoya's anxious look made Yan Jiekuang a little unsure. He thought to himself, "Could it be that my second brother has a letter?"

Yang Ruiping was also a little anxious, and said, "Come back with me quickly, there's going to be a big fuss at home, a bunch of people are surrounding your eldest brother's house, and the neighbors are chasing your dad to ask about the electronic watch."

Yan Jiekuang was stunned. How come this news spread so quickly? He was thinking of letting Wang Qing share this part of the firepower, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Something was wrong. How did Siheyuan know about this?
With doubts, Yan Jiekuang followed Yang Ruiping and Shi Xiaoya back to Courtyard No. 95. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw that the yard was clearly divided. Xu Damao, Xu Delin, Jia Dongxu and Zhang Erzhu surrounded Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiecheng talked to them helplessly, while the voices of Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai could be vaguely heard from the west wing.

Yan Jiekuang went straight to Yan Jiecheng, only to hear Xu Damao say, "Jiecheng, I heard from Haitang that your wife went to the south and brought back an electronic watch. This is not a very honest thing for you to do. I was the one who proposed it first. How could you do this?"

Yan Jiecheng shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. You should ask my wife. I really don't know." At this time, Yan Jiekuang spoke up and looked at Xu Damao and said, "Brother Damao, don't embarrass my brother. I know about this. You can ask me."

When several people heard this, they immediately gathered around Yan Jiekuang. Xu Damao asked, "Third Brother, this has something to do with you. Did you go to the south to buy 200 watches?"

Yan Jiekuang said without panic, "They did go to the south to buy some, but it wasn't my eldest brother and his friends. It was a friend of mine. My eldest sister-in-law just wanted a portion, so I gave her 200."

When several people heard this, they didn't believe it at all. Xu Damao continued, "Don't lie to me. Yu Haitang said that it was Yu Li who brought Yan Yongqing there."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and asked, "A woman and a minor went to the south to buy electronic watches. Do you believe it?"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course I don't believe it, but it's a fact. Yu Haitang is Yu Li's sister, so what she said could be wrong."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Well, if you don't believe me, go to the ghost market in Dongzhimen tonight. They should have started selling it today. They are the real owners. My sister-in-law just drank some soup. Besides, she didn't make much money. It was all hard-earned money."

Several people hesitated after hearing this. Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Third Brother, I'll go check it out tonight. If there's anything for sale, it means it has nothing to do with your sister-in-law. If not, it was me who proposed this, so I have to have a share of the money your eldest brother's family earns."

Yan Jiekuang nodded, Yan Jiecheng didn't say anything, turned around and went home. Yan Jiekuang didn't pay any attention to them and went straight to the west wing.

When they entered the house, Yang Ruiping was telling Yan Bugui what Yan Jiekuang had said. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were also listening nearby. After listening, none of the three old foxes believed him, but they didn't say anything. Yi Zhonghai said, "We originally wanted to invest money in Xu Damao. If you do it privately, it's a bit unkind. But if Yu Li just followed someone else and took a sip of soup, it's understandable. Okay, I'll go too. Let's talk about it after we figure it out."

After the two men left, Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiekuang suspiciously and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Yan Jiekuang said confidently: "Of course, if you don't believe it, go to the ghost market and see for yourself."

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "Even if it is, it won't work. If you are involved in this, it will be the Yan family's business. You can't give all the money you earn to the old family."

Yan Jiekuang looked at his father who was a little speechless, and said earnestly: "Dad, in our family, is money or family important? I didn't ask for a penny as the matchmaker, so you can't mention money to the eldest brother. We can cooperate again if there is a chance in the future. Besides, this is the money that the eldest sister-in-law saved for Yongqing's wedding."

Yang Ruiping said angrily, "Money, money, money. You only care about money. This matter is not over yet. You haven't thought about how to get rid of the neighbors yet, and you're still asking for money."

When Yan Bugui heard this, he kept silent. He was really jealous. He heard Xu Damao say that the old man had earned at least two thousand yuan this time. This was a huge sum of money. His retirement salary was only forty-one and a half yuan a month.

Seeing that Yan Bugui had calmed down, Yan Jiekuang turned around and went to his eldest brother's house. He wanted to find out how much Yu Li had said to Yu Haitang.
