Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Five hundred yuan is indeed not expensive, but he really can't afford it now. He spent a lot of the one hundred yuan rewarded by the system last time, and only had a few dozen yuan left, which is far from enough. As for the money from selling game and fish these two times, it only added up to about three hundred yuan.

However, thinking about the big wild boar lying in the space, Yang Chong had an idea in his mind.

He said, "Okay, Chief Hou, if you keep your word, I will give you the rabbit. But I really can't afford the 500 yuan right now, so how about you keep the work quota for me and when I have enough money, I will come back to you and give me the work quota?"

Hou Likui thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but let me be clear, this work quota has a time limit. I can only give it to you until after the new year. If you still don't have the money by then, I'll have to give it to someone else. I can't waste this quota, right?"

Yang Chong nodded: "Okay, it's a deal!"

As he said this, he took out two hares from his pocket and handed them over.

Hou Likui was stunned: "Give me both? I only need one."

Yang Chong said, "You should take them all. Since the patient needs it, you can eat more."

Hou Likui said gratefully, "Okay, I'll take them all." He was about to take money out of his pocket, but was stopped by Yang Chong, "No need to pay. You're taking care of me by giving me the quota for Brother Liu Ze. Can't I even afford to give up these two rabbits?"

Hou Likui nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't give you any money. When you have enough money, come to the steel mill to find me and mention my name. By the way, remember, it will be March after the new year at the latest. If you are later, there will be no more money."

As he said this, he quickly put the rabbit in his hand into the pocket he brought with him, for fear that others would see him trying to steal the rabbit.

After returning to Sijiucheng and getting off the car, Yu Xiu, who had been unable to hold back her excitement, said happily as soon as she separated from Hou Liqiu: "Brother, we got a great bargain. I heard that it is difficult to get the work quota of the state-owned factory. You got it by using two rabbits. It's really a great thing!"

Yang Chong nodded: "It's a good thing indeed, but we don't have that much money right now, so we have to find a way to raise the money."

Yang Xiaojuan said: "Brother, sister-in-law, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, maybe you would have enough money to buy a job."

Yu Xiu said: "Silly girl, it's none of your business. Even with the thirty dollars it's still far from enough."

After getting off the car, Yang Chong asked Yu Xiu to take Yang Xiaojuan home first, while he went to Pigeon City.

There are still a lot of pheasants and rabbits in the space that need to be sold.

This thing is in very short supply. After going around the pigeon market, it was quickly sold out.

Even more than half of the wild boar was sold.

Yang Chong suddenly discovered that his hunting skills could not only capture prey, but also allow him to kill it at will.

With just a slight thought, the big fat pig was slaughtered into small pieces. This made it very convenient to sell. There were so many people buying meat in the pigeon market that half of it was quickly consumed.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Yang Chong did not continue to sell the remaining half of the pork. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "No more, no more. Everyone go away."

As he said this, he deliberately opened his empty pocket to show the person in front of him.

Although those who didn’t buy the item were unwilling to give up, they had no choice but to leave.

Yang Chong threw the empty bag over his shoulder and was about to leave the Pigeon Market when two young men suddenly ran over and surrounded him: "Brother, can you sell us one of your rabbits? We have a patient at home."

"Yes, my grandma has been lying in bed for several years. She is not in good condition these days. The doctor said that she may not live long, so he asked us to get her something she likes to eat. We want to get her some meat, but we have been to the pigeon market several times and haven't bought anything. Big brother, please help us and sell us a rabbit."

Yang Chong took a look and found that the two boys looked somewhat similar, as if they were brothers.

"Are you brothers?"

The two young men were stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Yes, we are brothers. My name is Zhao Xiaoyi, I am the older brother, and he is Zhao Xiaoer, the younger brother."

Yang Chong nodded. Although the rabbits and pheasants in his pocket were sold out, there was still a lot of wild boar meat in the space.

But of course I can't take it out in front of them.

He also wanted to know whether what the two men said was true or false. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm sorry, my rabbits and pheasants are all sold out."

The two of them immediately looked disappointed.

Yang Chong then added: "But I still have some pork to give you."

The two men's worry turned into joy immediately: "Really, that's great, brother, pork is fine too." One of them took money out of his pocket, but after searching for a long time, he only took out two ten-cent notes and a few one-cent notes, which added up to less than thirty cents.

Another young man said awkwardly: "Brother, we only have this little money, so just buy a little less meat and bring it back for my grandma to taste."

Yang Chong said, "Let's not talk about money first. Take me back first and if what you said is true, I will give you the meat. Otherwise, I will not sell it to you even if you have money."

The two of them looked at each other, nodded, and took Yang Chong to their home.

When he arrived at the place, Yang Chong took a deep breath. Zhao Xiaoer and Zhao Xiaoyi did not lie. In fact, the situation at their home was even more difficult than they said.

There are seven people in the family, old and young. One of them is an old lady in her sixties or seventies lying on the kang, looking exhausted.

The younger ones all had sallow complexions, not a bit pale at all, and their clothes were tattered, with their legs exposed in the middle of winter.

Yang Chong felt a little heavy-hearted. It seemed that the situation of the courtyard was still good, because the people living in the courtyard were either workers working in the steel mill or teachers, and most of them were working outside to earn money.

There are many families like Zhao Xiaoyi and Zhao Xiaoer in the old city. They have no income, and there is no place to work for them. Even the streets cannot help them much.

Zhao Xiaoer said: "Brother, we really didn't lie. My parents are gone, my grandmother is paralyzed in bed, and we have to support my uncle's brothers and sisters. We really don't have money to buy too much meat..."

Only then did Yang Chong realize that those little ones were not his biological brothers and sisters, but his uncle's children.

Not only did these two brothers take care of their paralyzed grandmother for so many years, they even raised other people's children. Just for this reason, he wanted to help them.

Yang Chong waved his hand and said, "You wait." Then he turned around and left the yard.
