Yan Jiecheng thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I came here to borrow money from you. I just found a job and my salary will not be paid until next month.

Originally, I had less than ten dollars in my hand, which was enough to get me through a month. But just now, my dad took the money back.

Yan Jiecheng recounted from beginning to end how Yan Fugui and his son had secretly registered him to go to Shanxi, as well as what had just happened.

Yi Zhonghai is not a stupid man. He figured out the whole story after connecting the dots.

He didn't expect that in order to have an affair with Yu Li, Yan Jiefang actually designed his own elder brother to go digging coal, and Yan Fugui actually agreed.

This family is ridiculous.

It is no wonder that Yan Jiecheng severed his brotherly relationship with Yan Jiefang.

"It's reasonable to send Yan Jiefang to prison, but I just found a job. If this matter gets out, they will be finished, and I will be in trouble. My whole family will be implicated. So, we have to keep this secret."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, "You did the right thing. I thought the second kid was a good kid, but I didn't expect him to do such an immoral thing. Just now you said you found a job, where do you work?"

"We work in the same unit as you, a steel mill."

"Rolling mill?"

Yi Zhonghai’s first thought was disbelief.

The number of employee quotas for each household is limited, so you can't just get in whenever you want.

"Don't look at me like that, uncle. There's no point in lying about this. I've already completed the registration process today and can officially start work tomorrow."

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll see tomorrow."

"What connections did your family take?"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't figure it out.

It is not easy to get people into the factory unless someone powerful opens the back door.

Based on his understanding of Yan Fugui's family, he doesn't think there is any all-powerful relative. If there was such a relationship, why would they have waited until now?

"I guess so. I happened to meet a noble man some time ago and I helped him a little. In order to repay me, he asked someone to teach me how to drive. A few days ago, he also sent me a letter of introduction to work in the factory."

Yan Jiecheng is now cheating on both sides.

Cars are a rare thing in this era. Most people don’t even have bicycles, let alone cars.

If he suddenly learned to drive, he would probably be caught as a monster.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he could only push everything away from the "noble person". Anyway, they would not know who this noble person was, let alone verify it.

Yi Zhonghai was skeptical.

"So you're going to work as a driver in the factory?"

"Yes. The Human Resources Department assigned me to the kitchen, and I was responsible for going to the vegetable market and grain store to make noodles and vegetables every day."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes turned subtle as he looked at Yan Jiecheng, and he began to believe it a little.

If it were fake, it wouldn't be possible to go into such detail.

It seems that this guy is really lucky. Being a driver is a good job. Not only is the salary high, but when he delivers food, any deduction he makes is enough for his daily food and drink.

If the family hadn't split up, Old Yan's family would have also benefited from it. But now...

"Your family doesn't know about this yet, right?"

If you really know, with Old Yan's shrewd personality, he would never make things so embarrassing.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "I don't know. They are still waiting to see me make a fool of myself. They are probably calculating that I will hold out for a few days before begging for mercy."

Yi Zhonghai also laughed.

All we can say is that Yan Fugui is short-sighted and lost the watermelon but only picked up sesame seeds.

He began to look at Yan Jiecheng seriously again.

It is said that the eldest son of Old Yan's family is stupid and dull.

Looking back now, if he were stupid, there would be no smart people in this yard.

Old Yan's family depends entirely on Old Yan's salary to survive. If the family had not been divided, all the money Yan Jiecheng earned would have to be used to subsidize the family.

Given Yan Fugui's calculating character, all the salary earned by Yan Jiecheng had to be used to make up for it.

The second child is getting married, the third child is getting married, and the fourth child is going to school, and everything requires money.

Yan Jiecheng must have seen through this family, so he used the fact that Yan Jiefang and Yu Li were having an affair to completely clear himself.

The more strained the relationship is now, the harder it will be to ease. Plus, with the agreement, it will be difficult for Yan Fugui to gain benefits from him in the future.

After connecting the two, Yi Zhonghai understood why Yan Jiecheng was so heartless last night.

This clearly shows that he is disappointed and wants to completely draw a line between himself and his family.

"Your father is a calculating man. He thinks the second kid has a promising future. He will regret it in the future. Tell me, how much money do you want to borrow?"

Yan Jiecheng thought about it.

If you just need food and drink, ten dollars is barely enough. If you run into any other problems, you will be stretched to the limit. It is better to borrow a little more.

"Just borrow twenty first."

"Okay, you wait."

Yi Zhonghai went into the inner room and quickly came out with twenty yuan and handed it to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng took the money and said happily: "Thank you, uncle. I will pay you back as soon as I get my salary. I'll write you an IOU."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, "No need. We all live in the same courtyard, I trust you."

"Okay, Master, trust me, I will definitely not let you down."

After saying goodbye to Yi Zhonghai and his wife, Yan Jiecheng left.

Although the aunt was hiding in the kitchen, she still heard most of the conversation between the two.

After Yan Jiecheng left, she sat in front of Yi Zhonghai.

"Do you really believe what he said?"

"Whether you believe it or not, we'll know if he really goes to the factory tomorrow. But I don't think he lied. He wouldn't deliberately make up a lie just to borrow twenty dollars."

The aunt thought about it and felt that it was not necessary.

They were all neighbors, and twenty dollars was not a lot of money. Even if he didn't lie and asked to borrow money, they would be embarrassed to refuse.

"If he really goes to work in the factory, or becomes a driver, then the young man from the Yan family will be amazing. Even if he is divorced, there will be many beautiful girls who will rush to marry him."

Yi Zhonghai picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then stared straight at a certain place. He did not answer immediately, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he said, "We were all wrong. The young man from the old Yan family is really extraordinary. If he doesn't make a name for himself, he will be a sensation. None of the young people in our compound can catch up with him."

The aunt was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Is it that exaggerated? Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are the two most promising young people in our courtyard. How can the eldest son of the Yan family be better than them? How did you know that?"

"Don't disbelieve me. Let me tell you a few things that happened in Old Yan's family recently, and you will know how deep this kid hides."
