Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Yang Laochuan's face flushed red, and he said helplessly: "Chongzi, Second Uncle has no other choice, right? If there was any way, would I do this? I can't just watch your Second Aunt die of illness, can I?"

Yang Chong knew that what Yang Laochuan said was true. Given the Yang family's current situation, and in this year of famine, it was not easy to survive. How could they possibly come up with the 30 yuan to save their lives?

But he couldn't just watch Yang Xiaojuan get married at such a young age.

He looked at Yu Xiu, who understood his thoughts and said, "Brother, we have to help Juan'er. She is only fifteen or sixteen."

Yang Chong nodded, turned to Yang Laochuan and said, "Second uncle, Juan'er is still young and can't get married. I will take her to the city."

Yang Laochuan said in embarrassment: "But the Guo family..."

Before he could finish, Yu Xiu had already taken out a cloth bag from his body, untied the three layers inside and outside, revealing a stack of banknotes, and counted out thirty yuan from it and handed it to Yang Chong.

"Second uncle, I will pay back the Guo family's money for you and cancel this marriage. I will take Juan'er back to the city. If they don't agree, let them come to the city to find me!" Yang Chong said as he stuffed the money into Yang Laochuan's hand.

Yu Xiu had already run over, pulled out Yang Xiaojuan who was hiding behind the door, and spoke a few words to her. Yang Xiaojuan was immediately surprised and happy, and could hardly believe her ears.

"Come on, Juan'er, come back to the city with us, we will support you." Yu Xiu said, taking her hand and pulling her to Yang Chong.

Yang Xiaojuan looked at Yang Laochuan nervously with surprise and some doubt in her eyes.

Yang Laochuan was still hesitating. In the distance, the last bus had already arrived. Yang Chong said no more to him and just said, "Let's go." He took Yang Xiaojuan's hand and jumped onto the bus. Yu Xiu followed suit.

The car drove a long way and Yang Laochuan's figure could no longer be seen. Yang Xiaojuan still couldn't believe it and asked Yang Chong nervously: "Brother, are you and sister-in-law really going to take me to the city? Do I really not have to get married?"

Yang Chong nodded, and Yu Xiu said, "Silly girl, of course it's true. Your brother has already paid the money your father owed to others. You don't have to get married. You can live with me and your brother in the city in the future. Don't worry, your brother and I will feed you, so you won't starve."

Yang Xiaojuan's eyes suddenly became wet, and she shouted, "Sister-in-law!" and threw herself into Yu Xiu's arms.

Yu Xiu patted her back gently, and Yang Chong looked at this little sister who had always followed him around since she was a child, his eyes full of love and affection.

The car drove to the village in front and a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit got on. He wanted to pass in front of Yang Chong and sit in the back seat, but the car shook and his steps staggered, and he stepped on the pocket that Yang Chong had placed on the ground. His body tilted and he almost fell.

Fortunately, Yang Chong reached out and grabbed him. The middle-aged man stood firm and thanked him repeatedly. He also looked at the pocket in confusion: "Young man, what's in your pocket? Why is it so soft?"

Before Yang Chong could say anything, Yang Xiaojuan looked up and said, "They are pheasants and hares. My brother just shot them in the mountains!"

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? I heard that all the prey in the mountains has been hunted down. Many people go up the mountain but can't catch anything."

"Of course it's true! Just because they couldn't catch it doesn't mean my brother can't do it. My brother is very good at it. He caught several pheasants and rabbits." Yang Xiaojuan said proudly.

As he spoke, he bent down and untied the rope at the bag, revealing the pheasants and rabbits inside.

When Yang Chong wanted to stop her, it was too late. He could only smile bitterly and shake his head. This girl was too competitive, what a child.

When the middle-aged man saw that there were indeed pheasants and hares inside, and there were quite a few of them, his eyes widened and he quickly said to Yang Chong, "Brother, can you sell me one of these hares?"

Yang Chong was stunned. Before he could say anything, the middle-aged man continued, "As long as you sell it, I will buy it at any price." Then he added, "To be honest, there is a patient at home who needs nutritional supplements. The doctor specifically ordered that rabbit meat mixed with brown sugar be fried to be good for her health. For this reason, I ran all over the nearby mountains, trying to catch a rabbit, but I didn't even see the shadow of a rabbit. Little brother, please do me a favor and sell this rabbit to me. I will take any price."

It seems that he is a person who wants to buy rabbits, so Yang Chong certainly wants to sell them.

You know, in addition to the rabbits and pheasants in his bag, he still has dozens of them in his space, as well as a wild boar. It is natural that he has to sell them for money.

But he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he pretended to hesitate for a moment and said, "Brother, it's not easy for me to catch these rabbits. I climbed over several mountains..."

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man became anxious: "Brother, I know this rabbit is difficult to kill, just think of it as helping me, an old brother, for the sake of the patient at home. So, I tell you..."

As he spoke, he looked up at the driver in front of him, then came over and whispered in Yang Chong's ear, "Brother, I am Hou Liqiu, deputy chief of the logistics department of the steel rolling mill. If you have any problems in the future, come to the steel rolling mill to find me, and I will do my best to help."

From the steel mill?

Or the deputy chief of the logistics department?

Yang Chong expressed some doubt.

Hou Liqiu became anxious, and quickly took out his work ID from his pocket and took the initiative to open it to show him.

It’s true. Hou Liqiu’s name and position are clearly written on it, as well as Hou Liqiu’s photo.

It seemed to be true. Yang Chong's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice: "Then is it easy to achieve the work target of your steel rolling mill?"

Hou Likui was stunned, then smiled bitterly: "Brother, you are asking for too much! Do you know how much a work quota in a state-owned factory can be sold for now?"

Yang Chong smiled and said nothing.

Hou Likui was helpless and whispered, "I do have the quota, but I can't really let you two rabbits trade it away. Do you know? The quota of a regular worker in our factory can be sold for at least 500 yuan, and this is the internal price. Outsiders don't give it at all. So, if you really want the quota, I will give it to you, but it can't be given for free. At least 300 yuan, less is out of the question."

As he said this, he shrank back. Although his eyes were still fixed on the two rabbits in his hands, their gaze was no longer as intense.

Yang Chong thought about it and felt that what Hou Liqiu said was true. It was indeed very difficult to get work targets for formal workers in state-owned factories these days.

You have to know that if you work in a state-owned factory, you have a stable job, earning at least dozens of yuan a month, with a guaranteed income and no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Otherwise, the workers in the steel rolling mill in the yard would look down on others and think they are superior to others.

Buying a job for five hundred dollars is not expensive, but a great bargain.

But the problem is that I don’t have that much money in my pocket now.
