From Siheyuan to Hong Kong Island Tycoon

Chapter 500: Small Conflicts Become Big Conflicts

After a long queue and wait, Yan Bugui finally bought the discounted dishes he had been longing for.

Faced with the people around him covering their noses, looking at him with disgust and looking at him strangely, Yan Bugui also became calm from the shame he felt at the beginning. On the contrary, the third aunt kept her head down and remained silent.

After walking out of the supermarket, the third aunt hurriedly said to the first aunt: "Xiuyun, you go back first. Lao Yan and I will push the bicycles back."

The first aunt also nodded and left. The third aunt thought for a while and said, "Xiuyun, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you about what happened to our old Yan today, but I hope you don't tell anyone."

An old lady said: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to gossip."

Looking at the figure of the old lady walking away, Yan Bugui sighed and said, "It's a good thing that the person who came with us today was an old lady, otherwise if the neighbors in the yard knew about it, I'm afraid my image in the yard over the years would be completely ruined."

The third aunt didn't say anything, but silently tied the basket of vegetables to the handlebars and the back seat, and the two of them pushed the bicycle all the way back to the compound.

At the same time, the second aunt was standing at the door anxiously waiting for Yan Bugui to come back. She was not in a hurry to go to the market to buy vegetables, but Liu Haizhong asked her to see what tricks Yan Bugui was playing.

"What on earth is this old man Yan doing? Even if he goes to Chaoyang Vegetable Market, the farthest place nearby, he should come back by now."

Just as the second aunt was complaining, he also saw the first aunt walking towards him with a basket of vegetables.

The second aunt hurried forward to greet him: "Xiuyun, where did you go to buy vegetables? Why did you buy so much? Can you finish it all by yourself?"

Faced with the second aunt's three consecutive questions, the first aunt also began to explain to her, but did not mention the embarrassing things about Yan Bugui.

When the second aunt learned about the prices of vegetables in the supermarket, she was shocked at first, and then she felt extremely angry and dissatisfied.

"You are such a stingy guy, Old Yan. You didn't even tell our family such important news. I even lent you the vegetable basket with good intentions."

"In order to pay off the money we owe you, Lao Liu and I have been in such a difficult situation, and you actually dared to do this to our family."

In fact, this was originally just a trivial matter, but Liu Haizhong's family is really having a hard time now. Throughout this winter, Second Aunt has rarely gone to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables.

The second aunt cursed Yan Bugui in her heart and returned to the backyard angrily.

When the second aunt told Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai about this, they were both very angry.

Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and said: "This Yan Bugui is really a piece of shit. We have lived together in the courtyard for so many years, and he actually hid such a good thing."

Yi Zhonghai hated it even more. He was now so thin that he was almost unrecognizable. The only thing he wanted in his heart was to eat something good.

"Old Liu, I know you are angry, but don't be angry yet. Wait and see what Old Yan says when he comes back to return the vegetable basket."

"If he tells us the news, we'll just pretend nothing happened. Maybe he really forgot about it."

"But if they conceal the truth, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Not long after, Yan Bugui and the third aunt returned to the front yard. Yan Bugui first went home to change into a clean set of clothes and pants, and then happily went to the kitchen to take inventory.

The third aunt said with a smile: "Old Yan, you have watched this so many times, you don't need to watch it again when you go home."

Yan Bugui: "I am so happy. Look at the potatoes and mushrooms. The quality is so good. If they didn't limit the purchase, I would really like to buy them all."

The third aunt also said happily: "Old Yan, as long as you are happy, we can go tomorrow. Anyway, it is convenient for us to buy groceries since we have bicycles at home."

"But don't be too happy. First go to the backyard and return the vegetable basket to Lao Liu's family."

Yan Bugui shook his head and replied: "Why are you in such a hurry? We still need it tomorrow. It won't be too late to return it after I buy a new basket in two days."

"Anyway, Lao Liu's family can't use it given their current financial situation, so it's better to give it to us at a low price."

The third aunt was a little surprised: "Old Yan, you don't plan to tell Old Liu and the others about the supermarket? They are all neighbors living in the same courtyard, you should tell them."

"Old Liu's family is living a miserable life now. No one can stand eating steamed corn bread every day."

"Besides, how much does a vegetable basket cost? It's not like our family can't afford one, and it's not a big deal to always use other people's."

Yan Bugui's face darkened and he said unhappily: "Okay, I get it, you don't have to nag me anymore."

"His family lives a miserable life, and our family is not well off either. Do you know what it means to save as much as possible?"

Two minutes later, Yan Bugui slowly came to Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard.

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly: "Old Yan, where are you going to hang out all day today? It shouldn't take so long to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, right?"

Yan Bugui: "I didn't go anywhere. I just wandered around the nearby market. You know I have been busy ever since I retired."

"Look at my memory now. I originally wanted to come to your house to return the vegetable basket, but I forgot about it when I went out."

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he deliberately patted his forehead, making an expression as if he had really forgotten.

The second aunt sneered: "It's okay, Old Yan, you still have time to go home and get it now."

Yi Zhonghai really couldn't stand it anymore: "Okay, Old Yan, stop pretending. We all know about the supermarket."

"You are reluctant to buy a broken vegetable basket, but choose to use ours. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Just for your own little calculations, you didn't even tell me and Lao Liu such important news. I really misjudged you."

"I have never seen someone as selfish as you. I declare that from now on our two families owe each other nothing and will have no intersection ever again."

"As for the vegetable basket at home, just consider it as a gift to you. You don't have to return it."

Yi Zhonghai's scolding made Yan Bugui look ashamed, but he soon realized that there was something wrong in his words.

What do you mean by "no debt owed to each other"? You, Liu Haizhong, owe my family so much money, don't you want to pay it back?

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui immediately understood Yi Zhonghai's sinister intentions.
