Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 262 Sister-in-law, Do You Know?
"Hey, Old Deng! Look at this money."

"Uncle, you don't have to say anything. I won't take out this money."

Without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to finish his words, Deng Xinchang spoke with a determined look on his face.

"That"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui immediately responded by shouting, "Then forget about taking this house back!"

"is it?"

Deng Xinchang glanced at Yan Bugui, then said with some disdain: "Then you can open your eyes and take a good look to see if I can take the house back."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to go back and break the lock on the door.

However, before he could take a step, Yi Zhonghai stopped him.

"Old Deng, Old Deng, don't be so impulsive. We can discuss this matter. We can discuss this matter."

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Deng Xinchang did not insist on leaving. He snorted coldly and sat down again.

After all, no matter what, Yi Zhonghai is also a respected uncle in this courtyard. What's more, Yan Bugui's family is not a poor family that can be bullied by others. They have three sons in the family!
If this completely breaks out, it won't be a good thing for him.

Yi Zhonghai was slightly relieved to see that Deng Xinchang did not go back to break the lock regardless of everything, and then he quickly winked at Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan, you are really something, I told you at the beginning that you must be cautious, but you didn't listen and insisted that Old Deng had sold the house to Qiangzi.

Now, after all this talk, it turns out that it was just a misunderstanding.

Why don't you apologize to Old Deng right away?"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui's face changed slightly, then he forced a smile and said to Deng Xinchang: "Well, Old Deng! I admit that I was wrong. I misunderstood that your house had been sold to Qiangzi.

But I am still worried about the marriage of our second son!

You see, we have been neighbors for decades. I am here to apologize to you. Please don't bother with me. I will return the house key to you and you return the money to me. Then we will forget about this matter. Is that ok with you?"

"no!"

Deng Xinchang heard this and thought of the 250 yuan, which he could use to buy meat for his eldest daughter-in-law, so he quickly refused and said, "You said it yourself, this matter is all your misunderstanding, and I didn't ask you to pay!
Besides, this money is the rent that Qiangzi gave me, why should I return it to you?"

What he meant was that he did not take the money from Yan Bugui, so he could not return the money to Yan Bugui.

After hearing this very reasonable reason, everyone present was speechless, and then they couldn't help but think of what Li Guoqiang had said before: this matter had nothing to do with him.

In other words, there are only two options before Yan Bugui now. One is to accept defeat and let Deng Xinchang take the house back. The other is to go to Li Guoqiang again to discuss it and ask Li Guoqiang to help get the money back from Deng Xinchang.

After a moment of silence, Yan Bugui suddenly stood up, pulled Yan Jiecheng aside, and said in a deep voice: "Jiecheng, you have seen the situation now. If you want me to return the money to you, you have to find a way to get Qiangzi to help you get the money back from Lao Deng.

Otherwise, if Lao Deng breaks the lock, you won’t get the money back.”

After saying that, he didn't care about Yan Jiecheng's reaction. He turned around and walked back, and started arguing with Deng Xinchang to buy time for Yan Jiecheng.

When Yan Jiecheng saw this situation, his face changed drastically. In the end, he could only stamp his feet, turn around and walk out, planning to find Li Guoqiang to discuss it first.

However, just when he reached the Chuihua Gate, he suddenly ran into Yu Li, who had returned from a stroll outside to eat, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wife, you're back just in time. There's something you must help me find a solution for."

"what's up?"

Yu Li was slightly stunned, then frowned and asked.

"Here's the thing."

Soon, Yan Jiecheng recounted the whole story, and then told Yu Li what Yan Bugui had just said to him.

Then, before Li could say anything, he began to urge her anxiously, "Wife, your brain has always been better than mine. Now that Uncle Xinchang is still here, go find Qiangzi and find a way to get him to help us get the money back.

Otherwise, all our work over the years would have been in vain!"

"you"

Yu Li glared at him, and then angrily scolded, "Are you still a man? You don't take responsibility for the problem, but let your wife go to the door to beg for help? Do you have the nerve to do that?

I was really blind to marry a loser like you!"

"It's enough!"

When Yan Jiecheng heard Yu Li's harsh words, his expression suddenly turned ugly, and he quickly opened his mouth and shouted: "It was you who always said that the house couldn't be given to the second brother at a low price, so I spent money to buy the house.

Now that something has happened, you blame all the faults on me. Are you so unreasonable?

Besides, I am the man of our family, the face of our family. If people knew that I was groveling to Qiangzi, how would I survive in this city in the future?"

"Alright, alright!"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng say this, Yu Li could only suppress her anger, waved her hand and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I also got a share of the money, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards Li Guoqiang's house.

At this time, Li Guoqiang was counting the cash in his hand in his room, preparing to give some to Luo Huijuan, asking her to help buy some cloth coupons, industrial coupons, cigarette coupons, wine coupons, etc. from others in private at the factory.

After all, everything produced in his little world is basically raw materials. If he wants to live a good life, he still has to find a way to get more modern industrial products.

Just when he had counted the money and was thinking about how much money to give to Luo Huijuan, he suddenly heard a slightly charming voice coming from outside the door.

"Qiangzi, Qiangzi, are you home?"

"Eh!"

Soon, Li Guoqiang agreed, and without waiting for him to put the money away, he got up and opened the door. A plump and charming figure pushed the door open and walked in. Then, when she saw him holding a large stack of banknotes in his hand, she was stunned for a moment.

[How can he have so much money? ]

Li Guoqiang couldn't help but frown when he saw Yu Li coming uninvited and looking shocked. Then he quickly stuffed the money under his pillow, got up and walked over, and asked in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law Yu Li, what do you want to see me for?"

"That." Yu Li came back to her senses after hearing that, and then said hurriedly: "I came here to ask you to help talk to Uncle Xinchang and ask him to return the money to our family."

After saying that, she looked at Li Guoqiang, still unable to hide a hint of shock and curiosity in her eyes, as if she really wanted to know why Li Guoqiang had so much money in his hands?

[Could it be that this is all the money Li Guoqiang earned from hunting in the countryside? ]

"Sorry, I can't help you with this!"

When Li Guoqiang heard Yu Li's words, he shook his head and refused without even thinking.

"no!"

Yu Li was slightly stunned, then quickly said: "Qiangzi, you can't not help us with this matter. After all, you sold this house to our family. Now that the house can't be sold, how can you just leave it alone?"

"Hey!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, and then said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Don't say that. I have shown you the agreement before. In fact, I didn't sell the house at all. You can't just accuse me."

"I"

When Yu Li heard what Li Guoqiang said, she was suddenly speechless.

Then, she quickly put on a flattering smile and said, "Qiangzi, you see, we have been neighbors for decades, we can't fall out just because of this, right?

Besides, I saw the money you had in your hand just now, it must be at least several thousand yuan. You are so rich, why do you have to be so hard on us because of these 500 yuan?"

"Don't!"

Li Guoqiang frowned, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't say that, the money was given to me by the production team to set up the Beijing office, it's not my own.

Moreover, I have made it very clear before, the 500 yuan has already been given to Uncle Xinchang. If you want the money back, you should go and discuss it with Uncle Xinchang.

To put it bluntly, this matter has nothing to do with me, do you understand now?"

Hearing this, Yu Li's face instantly turned a little ugly.

In fact, it was because she knew that this matter had little to do with Li Guoqiang that she lowered her posture so much and ran to Li Guoqiang to beg him eagerly.

Otherwise, as her sister-in-law, how could she do such a shameful thing.

However, when she thought of what Yan Bugui said to Yan Jiecheng, and the one thousand yuan her family had saved for seven or eight years, she had to suppress her anger, and then forced a smile again, and said in a somewhat compromising manner:
"Qiangzi, I understand what you said, but you have to think about our family. It's not easy for us to save up such a small amount of money. We can't lose so much money in vain because of such a misunderstanding, right?
If you have any conditions, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you. Is this okay with you?"

After saying that, she looked at Li Guoqiang with a pitiful look, and she really put in all her effort.

But because of her behavior, a more exciting idea suddenly arose in Li Guoqiang's mind.

Then, Li Guoqiang's eyes passed lightly over the pair of searchlights, and then he took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, do you know that the way you are now will make people have some inappropriate thoughts?"

Yu Li: “.”

"How about this!"

Li Guoqiang took a step back and said softly, "If you can lie down over there and let me learn from you, I can not only give you 50 yuan, but also help you get the 500 yuan back."

When these words were spoken, Yu Li's eyes widened suddenly, as if she had not expected Li Guoqiang to make such an ambitious request.

Then, without waiting for her to react, Li Guoqiang turned around and walked to the head of the bed, took out ten big black notes from under the pillow and handed them to Yu Li.

Looking at the money in front of her which was almost equal to her two months salary, Yu Li was about to curse but all the words she wanted to say were blocked back and she fell into silence.

Li Guoqiang was slightly delighted when he saw this, and then he quickly leaned over to Yu Li's ear and whispered softly, "Sister-in-law, as long as you are willing, I can give you 30 yuan every month in the future."

Hearing this, Yu Li's heart trembled slightly, and her mind was full of flying banknotes.

In fact, in her opinion, asking her to lie down and learn from Li Guoqiang was not something difficult to accept at all.

After all, Li Guoqiang was much more handsome than Yan Jiecheng, and the thick stack of banknotes made her feel excited all of a sudden.

"Okay!"

Li Guoqiang saw the hesitation on Yu Li's face and quickly persuaded her, "Anyway, this matter is known only to heaven, earth, you and me. No third person will know about it. I'll go lock the door now. You go over there and lie down!"

After saying that, he stuffed the 50 yuan into Yu Li's hand without caring whether Yu Li agreed or not, then walked to the door and bolted it.

Seeing his actions, Yu Li's heart suddenly tightened, and her eyes revealed a look of intense struggle. It was obvious that she could not accept such direct and rude behavior.

However, she soon remembered that she still needed to ask Li Guoqiang to help get back the 1000 yuan that their family had saved for many years, and the balance in her heart suddenly tilted towards Li Guoqiang.

Then, without waiting for Li Guoqiang to urge her, she obediently followed the instructions and took action.

She even did not forget to purse her lips tightly, with a fearless look on her face.

If you don’t know, you might think she was trying to blow up a bunker with the explosives!
Seeing her like this, Li Guoqiang suddenly felt excited, and then he hurried forward and used all his skills to help her.

Not long after, Yu Li finally got her fill of acting and her voice emitted a lingering tone that made it clear that she was an experienced opera singer.

"okay!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly urged, "Hurry up and get up! Otherwise, if someone sees you, don't blame me for turning against you."

"Oh!"

After hearing this, Yu Li finally came to her senses, and quickly stood up and tidied herself up.

Fortunately, she is no longer a fledgling and her movements are very agile. Otherwise, it would be difficult to communicate with Yan later.

After a while, Li Guoqiang saw that Yu Li had packed up, and hurriedly said, "Let's go! I'll go with you to talk to Uncle Xinchang and ask him to return the money to your family."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Li looked at Li Guoqiang with a complicated expression, then nodded slightly in agreement, and at the same time silently swept Yan Jiecheng into the garbage dump.

This was not for any other reason, but because Yan Jiecheng was too weak, and she could no longer arouse any interest in him from now on.
