The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"What's going on?"

When he came to the outskirts of the crowd, Liu Minghui asked someone curiously.

"Hey, it's Jia Zhang who is looking for trouble."

A neighbor answered, and the people nearby disagreed and refuted.

"No, it was clearly Jia Zhang who tried to take someone else's things and was caught, so that's why the quarrel started."

She lived in the middle courtyard and had seen the conflict between the two families early on. She immediately testified for Widow Qian.

After several people chattered and explained, Liu Minghui finally understood what had happened. It turned out that Widow Qian was drying cabbage in the yard, intending to pickle it, but was seen by Jia Zhang, who wanted her to give a portion to the Jia family. Of course, Widow Qian was not happy with such an unreasonable request, and Jia Zhang did not get any benefit, so a quarrel broke out.

"Ah, this, can it be done this way?"

Both of them looked enlightened. There was nothing they could do as they had never seen anyone who asked for things as confidently as Jia Zhang, so they immediately stood outside to watch the fun.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Qin Huairu came back and saw Jia Zhang quarreling with someone in the yard again. She immediately pulled Jia Zhang aside and kept apologizing to the onlookers.

"Sorry, sorry, my mom was just joking."

Widow Qian was raising a child alone, so naturally she was not someone to be trifled with. She spoke to Qin Huairu in a cold tone.

"Just kidding, huh, she was so arrogant just now."

"I hope there won't be any more getting off the train, otherwise it won't be that simple."

After saying that, he took his things and went back, leaving Jia Zhang there with her teeth bared and claws clenched. She wanted to say something, but was pulled back to the Jia family by Qin Huairu.

The farce that started off well but ended badly ended, and everyone had to disperse. Seeing that there was nothing more to watch, Liu Minghui said goodbye to He Yuzhu and went back to the Intermediate Courtyard.

"Mom, didn't I tell you to stop making trouble in the courtyard? Now everyone still looks at our Jia family like this."

Qin Huairu was helpless. Jia Zhang only caused trouble for her and she wouldn't listen even after she told her several times. In response, Jia Zhang said angrily.

"What are you afraid of? We are poor, so they have to help our family. For example, widow Qian is in need just like us, but she is so stingy when we ask her to share some of her things. Really."

Even Qin Huairu couldn't bear to hear this. You know that other people are in trouble, but you still go looking for trouble with them.

"Mom, anyway, if you go and provoke others again, I won't care next time. If you get beaten, I can't do anything about it."

Helplessly, Qin Huairu could only warn Jia Zhang. She didn't have much patience for Jia Zhang now.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang's face changed. When Qin Huairu said this, Jia Zhang immediately got furious.

"Do you dislike me too? I tell you, as long as I'm alive, don't even think about remarrying."

At this time, Jia Zhang thought that Qin Huairu was planning to remarry, so she immediately warned her.

"No, I can't."

Qin Huairu could only explain that Jia Zhang was watching her very closely now, and sometimes she would talk to her for a long time when she got off work late. Besides, Qin Huairu had no intention of remarrying.

"Hmph, this is best."

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she twisted her butt and went into the house. She was very tired and planned to take a nap first.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu had no choice but to follow her and go to prepare dinner.

"Peng."

The door was opened and Yu Li came back from get off work.

"What's going on today? The middle court is noisy again?"

As soon as she entered the room, Yu Li asked curiously about what was happening in the Central Courtyard. It seemed that she had heard what the people gathered outside were saying.

"What else could it be? It's just Jia Zhang's mess. She does nothing all day and only causes trouble for Qin Huairu."

Yes, this is what Liu Minghui thinks. During this period of time, he found that Qin Huairu was quite good. At least she kept the Jia family in order. As for work, it was not his responsibility. Liu Minghui did not worry about it. Instead, it was Jia Zhang who kept holding Qin Huairu back and found trouble for her every now and then.

"Hey, why are you all discussing this?"

Yu Li sighed and walked over holding little Bowen.

"Come on, your dad is here."

"The child kept yelling for his daddy while I was at work. Can you take care of him for a while?"

Yu Li handed the child to Liu Minghui with a smile.

"Oh, that's normal, she kisses me as soon as she sees our son."

Liu Minghui looked very proud and picked up his son and said proudly.

"Okay, take it with you. I'll go prepare dinner."

Seeing this, Yu Li handed over the task of taking care of the children to him and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

At the dinner table, Yu Li suddenly started talking.

"Our Director Lin wants to see you, what do you think?"

"Ok?"

Liu Minghui was very confused after hearing this. He didn't seem to have any friendship with Director Lin of the supply and marketing cooperative, so why did he suddenly look for him?

"What's going on? He didn't say anything to you."

Not knowing the reason, Liu Minghui would of course ask his wife before considering whether to agree or not.

"It's not a big deal. You know, there is a shortage of supplies right now, and the supply and marketing cooperative will also give benefits to us employees at the end of the year."

Yu Li explained Director Lin's intention in a concise manner. Liu Minghui of course understood it. It was because he, as the purchasing chief of the steel mill, was too famous. Just look at the situation of the steel mill this year. Other factories were tightening their belts, but the steel mill was recruiting workers on a large scale. There were also rumors that the workers had good welfare and no shortage of meat. How could it not be famous?

"When will this meet?"

After careful consideration, Liu Minghui decided to meet her. After all, Yu Li was still working under him. He had arranged a good job for her in the first place. Selling her some supplies now would be a way of returning the favor.

"Tomorrow, Director Lin wanted to come to your house to see you, but I refused. Let's go together tomorrow morning."

Yu Li didn't ask Liu Minghui why he agreed. Liu Minghui was usually in charge of the major matters at home, and Yu Li was responsible for the other minor matters.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

The next morning, Liu Minghui went to the supply and marketing cooperative with Yu Li. Since he had been there before, Liu Minghui found Director Lin's office easily.

"Director Lin, good morning."

The door was not closed. Liu Minghui knocked at the door and spoke. Director Lin looked up and saw that it was Liu Minghui. He was overjoyed and immediately stood up and said, "Chief Liu, please come in and take a seat."

In fact, the two are of similar rank. To be specific, Liu Minghui is still below him, and Director Lin is much older than Liu Minghui, probably in his thirties or forties. Liu Minghui should respect him more, but these days, those who hold supplies are the bosses, especially for someone like Director Lin who wants Liu Minghui's help.
