Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Seeing this, Lou Xiaoe said calmly:

"That's fine. You two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. It's fine to chat for a while."

Yan Jiecheng came to the kitchen shivering from the cold, and took a stool to keep warm.

"Brother Zhuzi, I've been back for several days. I've been staying at my mother's place. Jie Kuang Jie Di doesn't care about her. My mother is almost out of food. You said my father has been scheming all his life. Not only has he lost the affection of the family, but he has also freed himself by stomping his feet. My mother is left alone, with no food to eat. Brother Zhuzi, what should I do? You can't let me support my mother alone. They are the ones who benefit the most from the family."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng nagging like a grouchy woman, He Yuzhu thought to himself, "At that time, I asked you two to go to Shanghai to develop, just to prevent you two from being dragged down by the Yan family, but I didn't say that you can't ignore your parents. If you give a little money every month, how much can an old lady eat? Can she still starve?"

"Now you come to talk to yourself, what's the meaning of this? I belong to your family? What does it have to do with me if your mother can't eat?"

Although He Yuzhu was angry, for the sake of their past friendship, he wanted to give Yan Jiecheng a hint. He thought that Yan Jiecheng should stop talking and try to preserve their friendship.

"Jie Cheng, it shouldn't be difficult for the two flagship stores in Shanghai to support your family and take care of your mother at the same time, right?"

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng understood in his heart that Zhuzi brother was familiar with what he and Yu Li had done. Don't forget what Liu Yang did.

But when he thought about losing more than one million yuan, his heart bleeds. It is easy to go from simple to luxurious, but it is difficult to go from luxurious to simple.

Although he understood that Brother Zhuzi must be dissatisfied with him and his wife, he still wanted to give it a try. A few million should not be difficult for Brother Zhuzi.

"Jiecheng, the noodles are ready. I remember you like to add soy sauce to your noodles. Here are some garlic cloves. Add some yourself. Let's go inside and eat while we chat."

Yan Jiecheng still had some dignity left in him, and said awkwardly, "Brother Zhuzi, just eat here. It's warm here, and it's convenient to get whatever you want."

"Okay then. I'll go get you a glass of water. You can eat slowly. I put in a lot of soup and there's still some left in the pot."

After saying that, He Yuzhu went to the living room to pour him some water. No one disturbed him. Yan Jiecheng didn't mind the heat, so he poured soy sauce on the water and started eating.

Looking at the fried eggs in the bowl, he always felt his eyes wet.

"Zhu Zi, why don't you let Jie Cheng come in to eat?"

"Wife, what can I do if he wants to eat in the kitchen?"

Lou Xiaoe also knew that Yan Jiecheng probably had something to say to her man, but there were too many people in the living room, making it inconvenient to talk, or perhaps she still had a last bit of shame.

"If you have something to say, just talk slowly, don't get irritated~"

"Got it. He Xiao, there are some supplements given by others in my study. Go get some for Ran Ran."

Liu Ranran was a little greedy now. When she heard that there was something delicious, she replied sweetly: "Thank you, Dad."

I was thinking in my heart, whoever wants to live in that courtyard in the future can live there. I won't go there. How happy I am here, with food, drink and people caring about me.

He Xiao immediately ran to He Yuzhu's study and brought out a bunch of snacks suitable for Liu Ranran, which made Liu Ranran very happy.

After seeing that the two had recovered well, He Yuzhu, at the urging of Lou Xiaoe, walked towards the kitchen with tea.

When I returned to the kitchen again, I saw Yan Jiecheng had finished a bowl of noodles and was getting more from the pot. It seemed that he was really hungry.

"Jiecheng, eat slowly and drink slowly. Don't choke. Warm yourself up at the same time."

"Brother Zhuzi, the food you cook is still the best~"

Knowing that Yan Jiecheng was hungry, He Yuzhu estimated that he had cooked more than a pound of noodles, leaving Yan Jiecheng with nothing.

"Jie Cheng, are you full? If not, I'll give you some more."

"Hiccup~"

"Eat~burp~I'm full."

He Yuzhu washed the dishes and put them in the kitchen. After giving a cigarette to Yan Jiecheng, he sat opposite him.

During the time it took to smoke a cigarette, neither of them spoke a word.

In the end, it was Yan Jiecheng who couldn't hold back first, because he didn't wait for that sentence: "Jiecheng, is there something wrong? If you have something, just say it directly."

Does he regret it now? A little, but mostly he feels that he is just unlucky.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm in trouble. I was cheated by a local in Shanghai. Now the foreigners want me to pay compensation. They want more than 2 million yuan."

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng still wasn't telling the truth, He Yuzhu's expectations of him dropped a bit.

"Jie Cheng, why is someone planning to take over your two flagship stores? Don't worry, as long as you two are willing to run those two stores, I will not take them back."

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't respond to him, Yan Jiecheng, who had eaten his fill and whose mind was working faster, recounted to He Yuzhu what he and his wife had done, speaking from the tone of a victim.

At this point, He Yuzhu was completely disappointed with Yan Jiecheng and his wife. Although he said he didn't care about them, he couldn't help feeling angry.

But now looking at Yan Jiecheng who was full of lies, He Yuzhu felt that people were just like that, their hearts were changeable, but they never changed.

"Jie Cheng, I have limited abilities and cannot help every brother to become a big boss. I support your ideas, but please don't treat me like a fool. I still have two money-eating beast construction sites counting on me. For this, I have borrowed more than 50 million from the bank, so I am also in trouble. That's it. I haven't told any of you, so please forgive me for being incapable of doing anything."

Yan Jiecheng didn't expect He Yuzhu to reject him so directly. In his impression, he always responded to his requests, even if he didn't want it, Brother Zhu would give it to him. Why didn't it work this time?

"Brother Zhuzi, please help me and Yu Li. I know that more than 2 million is not a difficult thing for you. We promise that as long as we pass this hurdle, we will run the two flagship stores honestly."

"Brother Zhuzi, we can only sell those two flagship stores."

"Jie Cheng, if you want to cash it out, then do it. If you don't have money, then sell your house, car, or gold. There is no such thing as making money from business and letting others pay for the losses."

"Don't complain to me about being poor. How much money do you have? You can fool others, but you can't fool me. I can't help you with money. Now, let alone more than 2 million, even a few hundred thousand is difficult for me. I can only guarantee your family's safety in Shanghai. I can't help you with anything else."

"I have to go to the construction site to watch over it later. If you have nothing to do, go back. Here is a thousand yuan, enough for you to go back to Shanghai."

Yan Jiecheng still wanted to open his mouth.

"Jie Cheng, don't let the little bit of affection we have left be severed."
