Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Chapter 118 The Honest Child Yan Jiecheng

The meal was finally finished, and this time no one made trouble. Most people in the courtyard knew that the Yan family was going on a blind date today, and the target was the same girl that Sha Zhu had liked last time. They were all waiting to see the good show between the Yan family and the He family.

Especially Xu Damao, a guy who was eager to see the world in chaos. While chatting with Lou Xiao'e, he was thinking about how to make Sha Zhu lose face. Finally, Lou Xiao'e couldn't stand it anymore.

"Da Mao, what deep hatred do you have with Sha Zhu? You two are the only two who are at odds with each other in this yard."

Xu Damao really couldn't answer this question, but he had been accustomed to arguing with Sha Zhu over the years. He felt uncomfortable when he saw the other party comfortable, and was happy when he saw Sha Zhu in trouble.

"Ezi, let me tell you, that guy Shazhu deserves to be punished. You see him yelling and shouting in the yard all day long. He even ignored his own sister in order to flatter Qin Huairu. It's obvious that he has a bad character. I'm doing this for the good of the yard. We can't let anyone encourage Shazhu's evil tendencies."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes when she heard this. Why didn't she realize that this guy had so many crooked ideas before they got married? It would be good if one out of ten of his sentences was true.

"Then you can't want to stir up a conflict between the Third Uncle's family and the Sha Zhu's family just because of such a small matter, right? These two families are not really stupid, so don't bury yourself in it in the end."

Seeing that his wife still didn't understand the situation in the yard, Xu Damao couldn't help but laugh and said.

"Ezi, you still don't understand. Believe it or not, not all the people in the yard, at least half of them hope that the two families will fight. Otherwise, it would be boring to stay indoors in this cold weather.

Even if I don't have to tell him, Sha Zhu will know about this tonight. Don't forget that there are still Daye and Qin Huairu."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e was even more confused.

"What could there be between an old man and Qin Huairu here? Aren't they on good terms with Sha Zhu?"

"Good relationship? That's just for you to see.

The uncle is hoping that Sha Zhu will have conflicts with the people in the yard, so that he can mediate in the end. If he favors Sha Zhu a little, this idiot will be loyal to him. As for Qin Huairu, it is even simpler. If Sha Zhu has a bad relationship with the people in the yard, he can only rely on their Jia family and the uncle in the end. Do you think that the meat, vegetables and lunch boxes that Sha Zhu brought back can be given to other families?

In this yard, everyone seems to be a good person, but in fact, every word they say is calculated. You should be more careful.

Listen more to what your good sister Chen Xueru says. At least she doesn’t care about your family or whether you have money or not. Only people like her really care about you.”

Lou Xiao'e really doesn't know who to listen to these days. When Xu Damao is not at home, the deaf old lady often comes to visit and brainwash her. Chen Xueru occasionally comes to chat with her about the people and things in the yard after dinner. Most importantly, she says that the old lady is not a good person.

Xu Damao described the people and events in the yard in detail, but he had to go to work. As soon as he left, several aunts and grandmas came over to eat and drink, and by the way, they helped the uncle and the deaf old lady to say bad things about Xu Damao.

As a result, Lou Xiao'e doesn't know who is a good person and who is a bad person. Even if someone is a strong-willed person, they can't stand this round of bombardment.

Yu Li is in the same state now. After being brainwashed by her third uncle, third aunt and the matchmaker, she has already decided that the Yan family is a wealthy family with no shortage of money. In addition, Yan Jie grew up well and has a stable job. When they are together, they will have their own house, and they don't have to cook at home. They can just go to their parents-in-law's house for meals.

Compared with Sha Zhu's family, I don't know how many times better they are. How could I meet such a good family in this world? I couldn't help but make up my mind to look around with Yan Jiecheng first.

Yan Jiecheng was also confused. He had originally wanted to tell Yu Li the real situation at home in detail, but he didn't have the chance to speak at all. After the meal, Yan Bugui suggested that Jiecheng send Yu Li home. Yu Li did not object, and everyone in the room knew that the matter was basically settled.

Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng were walking side by side on the street, chatting about some daily things. Yu Li saw a man selling candied haws on the side of the road. She just looked at him for a second, and Jiecheng ran over and bought a string for her, which made Yu Li's heart even sweeter.

At this time, Jie Chengdu was so anxious that his head was sweating. He always remembered what Zhao Shanhe had told him, that they should be honest with each other when they were together and should not lie from the beginning, otherwise they would be exposed one day.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. If I tell the truth, what if Yu Li runs away? And if I tell the truth, won't everything my father and mother said be false? If Yu Li knew, she would be even angrier, right?

They were almost at the doorstep of Yu Li's house, but she had only eaten three of her candied haws, which showed that she was a careful and thrifty person. Finally, Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and thought, love is what it is, he couldn't even scheme against the person he liked.

"Yu Li, there are some things I want to explain to you. I will feel uncomfortable if I don't say it."

Yu Li had a big question mark in her head. She didn't understand what Yan Jiecheng meant. Through the communication along the way, she came to understand Yan Jiecheng's character. He was ordinary but occasionally a little clever, but he was still honest. He could barely be considered a good match for him.

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng had something to say to her, she stopped.

"Say it, I'm listening."

Yan Jiecheng organized his words, thinking about how to say it in a way that would make the other party less angry.

"Actually, the house at the back is not mine. My father didn't tell the truth. But don't worry. As long as you marry me, the house will definitely belong to both of us. I have a classmate who lives across from me. He is an official in the steel mill. As long as I ask him for help, he will definitely not ignore it given our relationship.

Also, my family is not wealthy and we can barely get enough to eat. My dad helped me buy my job, which cost several hundred dollars. He and I agreed to pay back part of it every month, and it would take more than a year to pay it off.

If you marry me, you will probably have to live a hard life for more than a year, but don't worry, as long as we are together, I will listen to you in everything, hand over all my salary, and treat you well with all my heart."

Yu Li felt very uncomfortable after hearing the first part of the words. After all, no one likes to be deceived. But the second half of Jie Cheng's words were very brilliant and made her hesitate a little. If he could really pay off the money he owed to his father in more than a year as Yan Jie Cheng said, his monthly salary would be at least 33 yuan. In this era when 5 yuan can easily support a person, it would be more than enough for the two of them to spend.

However, she did not express her opinion directly. As the saying goes, if you have any doubts about foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu. No, that's not right. If you have any doubts about foreign affairs, ask your parents. She still has to go back and discuss this matter with her father.

"Jie Cheng, thank you for telling me the truth. I am very confused right now. Please give me some time to think about our relationship."
