Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 214 Neighborly Conflict
Yu Li was not at home, but the eldest brother Yan Jiecheng angrily told the cause of the incident. It turned out that after knowing the whole story, Yu Haitang could not stand Xu Damao's questioning and revealed it to Xu Damao. The two of them are still in contact.

Yu Haitang couldn't bear to see her sister being better than herself. Although she was down and out, she had been a cadre after all. Her sister, on the other hand, had been a woman who took care of her husband and children all her life. Suddenly one day, this woman who had taken care of her husband and children made a lot of money. Of course, as a younger sister, she felt unbalanced.

It was also a coincidence that Xu Damao saw someone showing off an electronic watch on the street. He didn't take it seriously at first, but when he met Yu Haitang and heard what Yu Haitang said, things changed. He immediately got angry. He was the one who arranged this matter first, but he didn't have that much money, so he didn't go to the South until now.

Yu Li was not hiding, she really went to her classmates to discuss whether to come again. When she came back, she heard Yan Jiecheng's story and found out that her sister had betrayed her. The whole courtyard was in an uproar, and Yu Li didn't know how to resolve the matter.

But the next day, the neighbors in the courtyard calmed down, because someone was selling this kind of watch in the ghost market, and the price was not low. This proved what Yan Jiekuang said before, that Yu Li just got a bargain and made a trip with someone else.

Yu Li immediately gave up the idea of ​​working alone. She considered it a profit this time, but there wouldn't be a next time. Yan Jiekuang also had no intention of helping her again. This was also what Yan Yongqing told her.

But why did Yu Haitang reveal this to Xu Damao? This matter was Yu family's business. Yan Jiekuang didn't say much, but he was a little dissatisfied. Yan Jiecheng had already sensed it, so Yan Jiekuang went straight back to Yuer Hutong.

With the sales of electronic watches in the ghost market, the situation in the Siheyuan also quieted down. However, Yan Jiekuang was still worried, so he asked Wang Qing to go to the south. He called Lou Xiaoe in advance and made arrangements. Wang Qing went there to buy electronic watches worth one thousand yuan.

Things are always unexpected. Xu Damao and Zhang Erzhu went to the south together, and together they went Li Huaide and his female companion. Yan Jiekuang only found out about this in May. Yan Bugui was very excited when he talked about it. Yan Jiekuang was a little puzzled as to why his father was so enthusiastic.

When Yang Ruiping saw Yan Jiekuang, he took Yan Jiekuang back to the house and told him the whole story. Yan Jiekuang then realized that his father had lent Xu Damao 5,000 yuan and was waiting for Xu Damao to come back and share the profits.

What a huge sum of money! This old man has been cautious all his life, and he probably only saved this much money. How could he be persuaded by Xu Damao? Yan Jiekuang felt cold in his heart. This unreliable father did such an unreliable thing.

Yang Ruiping looked at his son's gloomy face and said, "San'er, what's wrong?"

Yan Jiekuang looked at his mother, not wanting her to worry, so his expression changed instantly and he said, "It's okay, it's just that the black market is now investigating the source of this electronic watch, so I'm a little worried."

Yang Ruiping frowned instantly after hearing this. Yan Jiekuang then said, "Mom, don't worry. It's just a few thousand dollars. Our family can afford it." As he spoke, Yan Jiekuang handed a package to Yang Ruiping. It was a package of ten thousand yuan, which was originally for Wang Qing to buy a house.

Yang Ruiping evaded the question and said, "Why are you giving me money? It's okay. I don't take it seriously. It's just your father's fault anyway."

Yang Ruiping confiscated the money after all. Yan Jiekuang knew that his mother was mentally prepared, so he felt relieved and turned around to go back with the money.

The afternoon sun shone on Yuer Hutong. Two little guys were playing with a car and a plane in the front yard. They were competing to see which one was faster, the car or the plane.

Yan Jiekuang walked into the yard, and Aunt Wang came forward and said, "Is everything okay at home? These two little guys are very obedient."

Yan Jiekuang was happy and said, "It's okay, Aunt Wang, I'll stay with them today, and you can go home early." Aunt Wang shook her head and said, "It's okay for me to go home, I like these two boys too, I'll go back later."

Yan Jiekuang stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Okay, let's have dinner together tonight. Don't refuse. You know my cooking skills."

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "That's great. It's my honor to eat what you cook. I won't leave even if you chase me away."

Yan Jiekuang laughed and turned to go to the kitchen. Today was the day Ji Lian was coming back, so he had to cook some delicious dishes.

In the evening, Ji Lian came back with three classmates. Aunt Wang set the table. When Yan Jiekuang brought the first dish to the table, several people could not sit still and scrambled to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

No one said a word while eating. Everyone just focused on eating. Only Yan Jiekuang was talking to his son inexplicably.

After dinner, Ji Lian praised Yan Jiekuang's cooking skills. She used all kinds of words, which made Yan Jiekuang feel embarrassed. He said he would cook more for them in the future.

Ji Lian was also very happy. In fact, she was very nervous when she brought her classmates back. It was the first time she brought a stranger home, and she didn't know if Yan Jiekuang would be angry. But it seemed okay. She felt that Yan Jiekuang didn't care at all and even prepared delicious food to entertain his classmates. But what she didn't know was that this meal was to entertain Aunt Wang. By the time he found out, the party had already ended and everyone had left.

Yan Jiekuang really didn't take this matter to heart. After everyone left, the two of them chatted about family matters and looked at their two little babies. Everything was warm and natural.

Time passed quickly. In May, Yan Jiekuang heard from his younger sister that Xu Damao had returned. He was wearing frog-eye glasses and a suit, acting like he had a lot of money. But everyone knew that he had not paid everyone back, and according to him, they had to wait until this batch of goods was sold.

Fortunately, the goods were sold out quickly and a lot of money was made, so everyone shared the money. However, Yan Jiekuang knew that this was his last chance. If he did it again, the higher-ups would definitely investigate vigorously.

Yan Jiekuang made a special trip back home and had a deep talk with his father. Since this conversation, Yan Bugui has distanced himself from Xu Damao. When Xu Damao said he wanted to go south for the second time, Yan Bugui refused to invest money in Xu Damao, which left Xu Damao confused.

But Xu Damao's heart is now inflated. If he doesn't want to invest, then he won't invest. If he takes you with him to make money, it is giving you face. If he doesn't take you with him, it is also you who are losing face.

This time, only the Yan family in the front yard did not participate. Those who went to the south changed from Xu Damao and Zhang Erzhu to Xu Damao, Zhang Erzhu and Xu Delin.

A few days later, Xu Damao came back, but no one saw him full of vigor and vitality. Instead, he was in rags, as if he had been robbed. When he returned to the courtyard, Xu Damao burst into tears. No one was too embarrassed to ask him anything, except Jia Zhang, who came up and asked, "Damo, stop crying. Where's my money?"

Everyone reacted and asked questions. Xu Damao realized the purpose of his return and said, "We were robbed just after passing through customs. I ran away secretly. The money is all with Xu Delin."
