The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Yan family.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Yan Bugui looked embarrassed because Jiang Jingwan had given him a big problem.

No matter what, Yan Bugui is destined to lose money today, otherwise Yan Jiecheng will become estranged from him. It can only be said that he forgot his biological father when he got a wife.

"Jingwan, just tell me what will satisfy you."

In the end, Yan Bugui had no choice but to think for a long time before he asked Jiang Jingwan, wanting to see what she would say.

Jiang Jingwan also started to think about it. She couldn't force Yan Bugui to separate the couple. It wouldn't sound good if this were made public. After all, she was a new daughter-in-law and she made a mess right away. Outsiders would also think it was her problem.

"Dad, we can continue to pay for the food, but we have to keep the rest of the salary ourselves."

This was Jiang Jingwan's own idea. She didn't marry here to suffer. Besides, now that she had spoken out, if she couldn't achieve her goal, it would be difficult next time.

Yan Bugui fell silent after hearing this. In fact, he had almost recovered the money he had used to help Yan Jiecheng buy a job, but he felt bad when he thought about the remaining few months of money. However, his daughter-in-law had already made her words, and it would be difficult if he disagreed.

"Okay, but it has to start next month, and you have to pay the rent for the house you live in."

Yan Bugui thought of a compromise that would reduce the losses a little.

Jiang Jingwan immediately agreed to this suggestion. It was just a dozen dollars, so she could just consider it as honoring her elders.

The Yan family's farce did not cause any waves in the courtyard. Everyone just found that Yan Bugui seemed to be in a bad mood in the following days, and he spent more time standing at the door and calculating.

In the central courtyard, the Jia family was having dinner. At the table, Qin Huairu suggested making a new set of clothes for Banggeng and also for Xiaodang.

Jia Dongxu had no objection to this, as he cared a lot about his own children.

Jia Zhang had some opinions on the side, but she didn't say them out loud for the sake of Jia Dongxu's face. In Jia Zhang's mind, there was no problem in making clothes for Banggeng, but it was not worth taking Xiaodang, a money-loser, with her. It had to be said that Jia Zhang was very patriarchal, and it was really a tragedy to be born in the Jia family.

"Mom, Master told me today that our two families will have the New Year's Eve dinner together."

Jia Dongxu suddenly seemed to remember something and said that this was what Yi Zhonghai had told him on the road in the afternoon.

"Okay, we'll just do whatever we have to do."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang immediately agreed. The Jia family had not prepared anything for the New Year, and at most they would just have dumplings. Now that it was time to dine at a wealthy family's house, Jia Zhang would definitely agree.

"Dongxu, are we the only two families?"

Qin Huairu asked from the side, she was holding Xiaodang and feeding him.

"There should be a deaf old lady in the backyard. It's a pity that Sha Zhu is married, otherwise he could come to cook."

Jia Dongxu looked regretful. They had hardly spoken to each other since He Yuzhu got married. Yi Zhonghai said that he couldn't even find her when he didn't have something important to do.

He Yuzhu stays at home after get off work and doesn't come out. He doesn't like to join in the fun like he used to.

"Why do you want that old woman again?"

The person Jia Zhang feared most in this courtyard was the deaf old lady. She felt unhappy when she heard that she had to have New Year's Eve dinner with her.

"Mom, the old lady is taken care of by the master and his family. Isn't it normal for them to eat together?"

Jia Dongxu didn't say anything. He didn't know why his mother was so afraid of the old lady.

The next day, Liu Minghui took Yu Li and her son back to Yu's home early in the morning. They stayed until the afternoon. Yu's mother was reluctant to let them go, mainly because she was reluctant to let Pang Pang go.

In the end, there was no other choice but for Yu Li to sleep at Yu's house for one night. Because there were no extra guest rooms at Yu's house, Yu Li had to sleep in the same room with Yu Haitang, and of course Liu Minghui had to go home first.

However, Liu Minghui did not want to go back to the courtyard, and went to find Chen Xueru on his own.

Instead of going to the silk shop, Liu Minghui went directly to Chen Xueru's house.

"How did you come?"

Chen Xueru was very happy that Liu Minghui came because he hadn't been here for several days.

"Yu Li is back home tonight, so she'll stay with you for one night."

Liu Minghui entered the house. Chen Xueru had placed a large stove in the living room, which made the temperature inside the house extremely different from that outside.

When Liu Minghui came into the room, he felt very hot, so he quickly took off his coat. Chen Xueru helped him put it on the hanger and hung it up.

"I'll ask Aunt Liu to cook two more dishes."

Chen Xueru thought that Liu Minghui might not have eaten yet, so she asked Liu's mother to cook two dishes for Liu Minghui.

"No need, I came here after eating."

But before Chen Xueru could go out, she was stopped by Liu Minghui.

"Why do you look better recently? Do you have fewer worries?"

The two sat together and chatted, and Liu Minghui began to praise Chen Xueru.

Indeed, since Chen Xueru stopped managing the silk shop, it was like a big stone had been lifted off her shoulders. She no longer had to worry about so many things, and most importantly, she no longer had to see Fan Jinyou.

In response to Liu Minghui's praise, Chen Xueru smiled charmingly and happily.

"If you can speak, speak more."

"You know what, I am very happy every day now. It's a pity that Fan Jinyou is so busy and exhausted every day."

Although Chen Xueru no longer participates in the management of the silk shop, she still knows what is going on in the store.

It has been less than a month since Fan Jinyou went from being proud and looking forward to doing something great in the beginning to being in such a mess now.

If it weren’t for the good performance this year, Fan Jinyou might have been fired.

"Oh, that's a good thing."

Liu Minghui did not show any surprise, as he had known this for a long time. As the saying goes, a dog will always eat shit. Fan Jinyou is such a person who pretends to know everything and challenges himself madly in a field that does not belong to him.

"It's estimated that the subdistrict office will remove Fan Jinyou soon."

Liu Minghui said with a smile.

"If you still want to take over the silk shop then, you can."

Chen Xueru shook her head at this. She didn't want to think about this now. She just wanted to have a child first.

"When will the man you are talking about come into town?"

Chen Xueru said that Liu Minghui asked Wang Wen to find someone, Wang Liben. Liu Minghui had already met this person in person and they had agreed that he would come to the city after the New Year.

"After the New Year, let him work in the steel mill for a month first."

Liu Minghui told Chen Xueru about his plans and planned to ask her to move with him, but Chen Xueru refused.

"I don't want to move. This is what my father left me. It's the only place I want."

"this…."

Liu Minghui didn't expect Chen Xueru to refuse, so he had to use all his skills to persuade Chen Xueru, and finally made her agree.

Liu Minghui stayed at Chen Xueru's place tonight. This was the first time they had spent the night together since they met. Unlike before when they could only stay for a few hours before having to leave.
