Siheyuan: I have a super purchasing system

"Hey, hey, that's enough. I don't want to think about the photo studio charging one dollar for a photo shoot."

"You just want my brother-in-law to take pictures for you for free."

"My brother-in-law can just provide free labor."

"Film is free, and developing photos is free?"

"That's a really good plan."

Before Yu Zhile opened his mouth, he heard He Yuzhu refuse casually. This was really unexpected!

Everyone looked at He Yuzhu in surprise, as if they had not expected that He Yuzhu, who had always been a good guy, would speak like this.

Even Yu Zhile did not expect that He Yuzhu had changed so much that he no longer cared about moral blackmail.

"Silly Zhu. Director Yu didn't say anything. Why are you so anxious?"

"That's right, Silly Zhu, what you said is wrong."

"We are all neighbors, how can you count it like this? It's just a small favor."

"That's right. Director Yu didn't refuse, why are you so anxious?"

"What's going on, Silly Zhu, you weren't like this before."

Everyone started to blame He Yuzhu, and his face turned grim.

"What a joke! Do you know how much a roll of film costs?"

"Three dollars, plus photo paper, developer, fixer, and so on. When you add up all the little things, which one doesn't cost money?"

He Yuzhu spoke righteously, and everyone looked surprised when they heard him say that.

"How do you know? You can take pictures too?"

"Silly Zhu, you are so powerful now? You are not talking nonsense, are you?"

“Is it really that expensive?”

"Isn't it just a matter of moving your hands?"

"Besides, the factory reimburses us for the film."

There were all kinds of voices, especially some showing a hint of surprise that He Yuzhu knew so many high-sounding words.

A look of disdain appeared on He Yuzhu's face.

"If you don't believe me, just go find a photo studio and ask."

"What about reimbursement from the factory? The factory reimbursement is for taking photos for the factory. What are you?"

He Yuzhu naturally asked because his sister learned photography, so he wrote it down and actually installed it.

"Then we need to collect the money from the photographers. Three dollars for film and photo paper is about right. We can take 24 photos at a time."

"That makes 25 cents a piece enough. It's not too much for a neighbor, right?"

The third uncle does know a bit about photography, but this is all he knows.

If you calculate it this way, 25 cents per photo is still quite a bargain, but some people think it is too expensive.

"How about it? Xiao Yu, we won't take advantage of you. We'll provide the materials ourselves."

The uncle's words really made Yu Zhile sneer in his heart. He really wasn't taking advantage of anyone.

"I'm sorry, you're too late. My camera has been lent out, so I can't take pictures of you."

"Besides film and photo paper, you also need chemicals, which are not cheap at all."

"If you want to take pictures, I'll give you 50 cents to take one, but you have to wait until after the Chinese New Year, since the camera has been lent out."

Yu Zhile was really glad that he lent out his camera, otherwise wouldn’t he have become a tool for taking photos?

"Fifty cents! You want to double your money just by reselling it?"

Jia Zhang exclaimed. She didn't understand the rest, but she understood that the third uncle calculated it to be 25 cents, but Yu Zhile wanted to charge 50 cents.

"Forget the money, 50 cents is cheap, but we can only take the photo after the Chinese New Year?"

"After the Chinese New Year, my son went to work in another place."

Some people also said this.

"Yes, it's great to take pictures during the Chinese New Year reunion. After the Chinese New Year, everyone has things to do."

"Why did you lend your camera to someone else?"

Some people also started to criticize.

"Why don't you take the camera back?"

"Everyone in our courtyard is waiting to take pictures during the New Year."

The second uncle also spoke up and said that he thought taking photos during the New Year was very festive.

"Uncle San only counted the film and photo paper, as well as the chemicals for developing photos. And developing photos takes a lot of time, and I don't have much time anyway."

"The photo studio charges one dollar for one photo, but I only charge fifty cents, and I only take two photos per studio at most."

"This is because we are all neighbors."

"If you think it's too expensive and you can't wait until after the Chinese New Year, you don't have to take the photos. Just go find a photo studio."

"As for getting the camera back, that's impossible."

"I've already lent it to someone, and they've even bought the film and everything. If I go and ask for it back, I'll be offending them."

Yu Zhile had a very good temper and refuted them one by one. His voice was gentle and steady, making the others seem unreasonable.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but when people lend you a camera, they just lend you a camera. You buy all the other stuff yourself, take the photos yourself, and wash the clothes yourself."

"You guys just wanted to take advantage of my brother-in-law, but when you failed to do so, you even cursed him."

"It's New Year's Day, and you still want my brother-in-law to take back the things he borrowed. Isn't this making him lose his way as a human being?"

"Everyone, please go home if you have nothing to do. If you have time, you might as well prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."

He Yuzhu, however, yelled at them to drive them away. Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, and that it was indeed the New Year and they had a lot of things to do, they all left.

"Brother, it has to be you, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Yu Zhile spoke with a smile and a look of gratitude. Of course, this kind of behavior should be encouraged.

"That's right. You are just too good-tempered and easy to talk to. That's why they are so arrogant."

"Don't be too polite to them in the future, and don't be too pampering to my sister. I see her buying nice things every day. It's too extravagant."

He Yuzhu was also very happy after hearing this compliment.

"Hey, brother, what are you talking about?"

"If I had known, I would have told Brother Yu not to buy you a gift."

"Humph!"

He Yushui had just arrived when she heard her brother talking nonsense and immediately spoke up unhappily.

"Hey, what good stuff did my sister buy me?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he immediately smiled and came over.

"Here you go, take it."

"If I hear you say bad things about me again, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my brother."

He Yushui said this while handing a bag to He Yuzhu. He opened it and saw a new piece of clothing.

"This dress is so beautiful, I'm saving it for your wedding!"

He Yuzhu smiled.

"Brother, of course you have to wear new clothes for the New Year."

"You don't even bother to buy yourself a couple of nice clothes. You've been wearing these clothes for years."

He Yushui sighed when she saw that her brother was still wearing clothes from a few years ago.

My brother is so frugal. If he hadn't helped Qin Huairu's family, he would have been able to save some money.

Fortunately, my brother now seems to have gotten rid of Qin Huairu's influence. As long as he finds a better sister-in-law, everything will be fine.
