Siheyuan: General He Yuzhu, loyal to his country

So, when it comes to antiques, it's not just one or two people who are eyeing them; everyone's attention is focused on them.

In fact, if this antique had not been owned by He Yuzhu, it would have been divided up by the people in the courtyard long ago.

"You're wishful thinking. Old Yi and Liu Haizhong had such a fight before. Can he still help you?"

There was a look of suspicion in the eyes of the third aunt.

She was right, Yi Zhonghai really hated Yan Bugui.

but!

He has no grudge against money!

"Don't worry, based on my understanding of Lao Yi, he will definitely agree to this!"

Yan Bugui smiled triumphantly, with full confidence on his face.

"I hope so."

If he really gets the antique, his family will become rich!

Is it still necessary to live frugally?

It makes me happy just thinking about it.

In the evening, at Yi Zhonghai’s home.

An old lady served Yi Zhonghai a bowl of rice porridge and couldn't help complaining as she handed it to him.

"Tell me, He Yuzhu hasn't been home for more than half a month. Is what's said outside true?"

The aunt also had her own thoughts. She usually liked to gossip about other women in the courtyard, especially in the homes of those who were doing well, where she would discuss them non-stop.

In fact, it’s all jealousy at work.

"I don't know, but there's no smoke without fire. If there's such a saying, someone must have seen something!"

Yi Zhonghai firmly believes this.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he warned, "I'm telling you, don't get involved. Don't forget what happened with the seafood. It's ok for other people to mess around, but you're the eldest lady in this courtyard, you have to have status."

Yi Zhonghai was also afraid. There had been so many accidents before, but He Yuzhu managed to escape unscathed, while everyone in the courtyard was implicated.

Then his methods must be more sophisticated.

"I'm not stupid. Isn't this just chatting with you?"

The aunt was a little nervous inside.

The others knew that everything came from her mouth. Not to mention participating, she could even be called the leader.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Dang Dang Dang"

"Who's here at this late hour?"

The aunt felt suspicious. Her family didn't cook any delicious food, so it was impossible for someone to come here just because of the smell.

"It's me, Old Yan."

Yan Bugui introduced himself with a smile on his face.

Yi Zhonghai, who was eating from a bowl, gave the old lady a look and asked her to open the door.

There is nothing to hide on the table at home, and the door can be opened quickly.

"Lao Yi, let's eat. It's late today."

Yan Bugui greeted Yi Zhonghai directly as if he was an expert at chatting.

When Yi Zhonghai saw the person coming, he didn't have a good face towards Yan Bugui, but since they were all the masters of the courtyard, he couldn't lose his manners.

"Well, I got back late from get off work, and the factory had some tasks to do."

What Yi Zhonghai emphasized in these words was that after he returned to the steel mill, the mill not only did not ignore him, but cared about him even more.

Yan Bugui was a scholar with a lot of knowledge, so of course he understood what this meant.

"Of course, your position is irreplaceable."

The implication is that Yi Zhonghai is the boss of the Siheyuan.

Yi Zhonghai was very happy to hear this.

He put down his bowl and wiped his mouth.

"Cui Fen, hurry up and make some tea. Old Yan has been here for a while."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly called out to an auntie.

"Okay, okay, you two are busy. I'll go boil some water."

The aunt agreed readily. After cleaning up the dishes, she went to another room.

Yi Zhonghai lit an old man's cigarette and took a few deep puffs. For a moment, the whole room was filled with smoke.

"You must have come here for something, right?"

Yan Bugui never comes to the temple unless he has something to ask for.

Yi Zhonghai certainly didn't believe that this guy came to him just to flatter him so late at night.

You must have other ideas, so it’s better to just say them straight out, which is more convenient!

"You figured it out. There is indeed something wrong. You also know that He Yuzhu has antiques in our courtyard. Logically, these antiques should be owned by everyone in our courtyard. However, Zhuzi's identity is special. If he doesn't take the initiative to bring up this matter, we dare not say anything else."

Yan Bugui was talking about antiques in every word.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai still has a good face.

"But this antique belongs to Zhuzi himself. It has nothing to do with the people in our yard."

"Zhu Zi can't spend all the money from the antiques by himself. Besides, he hasn't been back for more than half a month. I believe you have heard about the rumors outside."

Yan Bugui's turbid eyes are full of thoughts.

"Indeed, everyone says Zhuzi got into a lot of trouble outside, otherwise he wouldn't have been gone for so long."

Yi Zhonghai nodded. The smoke had almost covered his entire body.

However, this kind of old man's smoke dissipates quickly.

"If you ask me, there are only He Yushui and Tang Qingfang in He Yuzhu's family now. They are a woman with a child. Even if they have so much wealth, they can't keep it. We are just kind-hearted."

Yan Bugui was a man of many ideas, and he gave Yi Zhonghai some direct advice.

For Yi Zhonghai, he wanted to compete with Liu Haizhong.

This guy Liu Haizhong has always been eyeing the position of the big boss. Previously, he was punished by Li Youcai to clean the toilet. But now, I don’t know how he got his job back.

This made him, an eighth-level fitter, instantly unpopular in the yard.

Who made Liu Haizhong also a level seven fitter!

Besides, they will have to take the re-examination soon. If Liu Haizhong also becomes a level 8 fitter, then we will be on equal footing, right? !

After carefully analyzing the pros and cons in his mind, Yi Zhonghai agreed with what Yan Bugui said.

"You're right. We are all considering the Siheyuan. We will hold a meeting tomorrow and discuss this matter separately at the meeting."

Yi Zhonghai gave in, and seeing this, Yan Bugui did not bother him any more.

He knew that Yi Zhonghai would definitely agree.

People who love money like him are no less greedy than them!

Even a few points more than them!

The deaf old lady could see it clearly before.

"Okay, I'll take my leave then."

Yan Bugui stood up and said one more thing before leaving: "By the way, Jia Dongxu has been very close to Lao Liu recently. I heard from the grapevine that Liu Haizhong seems to want to take Jia Dongxu as his apprentice. However, it's just a rumor, and it may be just hearsay."

What he said had a profound meaning.

After Yan Bugui left, Yi Zhonghai began to have some thoughts.

Judging from the current relationship between Jia Dongxu and Liu Haizhong, this is indeed the case.

Moreover, as a level 7 fitter in a steel rolling mill with 10,000 employees, Liu Haizhong is fully qualified to be Jia Dongxu's apprentice.

"This Liu Haizhong is really thinking about this. He wants to fight for the position of the eldest uncle by making friends with the Jia family!"
