Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

“I won’t say much about other families. Uncle and Uncle Ma’s families have always had a hard time, and you haven’t heard of your uncle helping them over the years.

The Jia family is facing the brunt of the crisis even though they still have some food in stock. Why are you so eager to intervene? What exactly are you planning?"

Having said this, his real intention has been revealed.

Ye Chuan's words made everyone fall into deep reflection.

Yi Zhonghai was a little flustered. He didn't expect that this young man could be so observant and even guide the thoughts of his neighbors.

Yan Bugui nodded secretly in agreement. Our family has been in great difficulty for many years, but you have never offered any help. Instead, you immediately come forward to help other families when they are in trouble.

Is it just to highlight one's own selflessness?

Ma Xieyan was sincere, and although he was unhappy, he didn't dare to show it. "That's right, uncle, why do you only care about other families and are so partial to your own people?"

Others also began to feel indignant, and some said they would no longer donate: "I won't donate my share of money. This is too much. I thought you were trustworthy."

"I'll take it back too. Isn't it good to be frugal?"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his hands and feet were shaking. He pointed at Ye Chuan and asked silently: "Let me tell you, I will never participate in this kind of donation.

If you want to accuse me from a moral high ground, you will never succeed! "

Seeing the situation reversed, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but lose his composure, and the neighbors around him looked at him with doubts.

He never thought that Ye Chuan would be able to easily resist the first attack, fortunately he had the deaf old lady as a ballast.

Who doesn't know that he has indeed taken care of the old man over the years?

"Ye Chuan, there may be many excuses for the Jia family, but what about the deaf old lady? She is a special hardship household, and the street office has her on record.

Caring for the elderly is also one of your responsibilities, isn't it?"

Facing this, Ye Chuan chuckled, "It is right to respect the elderly and the virtuous, but how can the harvest of the land we cultivate together rely on one person alone?"

This remark stunned Yi Zhonghai, who seemed still unable to figure out his intentions, and asked in confusion: "What on earth are you talking about?"

Ye Chuan recalled the distribution of the old woman's inheritance after her death in the play, and couldn't help but look at Sha Zhu, feeling sorry for her. Sha Zhu should have gotten the old lady's house, but ended up being taken advantage of by Baiyan Langbang Geng.

If Lou Xiao'e hadn't left her with offspring, the old lady's later years would have been even more miserable...

Sha Zhu looked around with puzzled eyes, and thinking of the scolding he received the last time he was beaten, he finally held back and didn't say anything.

Yi Zhonghai was a little stunned. Why did this guy stand on my side?

Hearing that she was mentioned, the deaf old lady opened her eyes and looked at Ye Chuan with a piercing look. "Everyone has an average job, so it's only natural that they help take care of me. We can't let everyone work for nothing, right?" Ye Chuan said. "What do you mean? Do you need to be paid for respecting the elderly and caring for children?" Yi Zhonghai asked with a straight face. "Rewards don't matter, but don't let my hard work over the years be taken advantage of by others!" Ye Chuan lit a cigarette, looked at his father's scrutinizing eyes, and awkwardly handed one to his father.

When everyone caught a glimpse of the big front door in his hand, their eyes changed immediately.

Daqianmen is very rare on the market, and you may not be able to buy a pack even during the Chinese New Year.

Although Fengshou cigarettes only cost 20 cents a pack and were difficult to obtain, they became a type of cigarette exclusively for civil servants. However, compared with the slightly more expensive Daqianmen (3.9 cents), their scarcity made them even more sought after.

Ye Chuan casually took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and overwhelmed the others in an instant.

He took a deep breath, blew out a smoke ring, and continued, "As long as the old lady nods and accepts something, it's not just as simple as taking care of me.

I promise to let her enjoy rice and braised pork every day, honeycomb coal for cooking in the cold winter, and electric fans for cooling off in the hot summer. I will also buy her a new dress for every New Year or birthday."

This promise was shocking. This was not the life of an ordinary family. Even the emperor could not eat braised pork every day! The old lady was also moved by what he said. The brat was so tempting that she almost drooled.

Yi Zhonghai asked in confusion: "You want the old lady to eat braised pork and rice every day. You know what you are talking about?" Ye Chuan took two deep puffs and flicked away the cigarette butt. The smokers around him stared at the remaining tobacco.

Ye Chuan is a spendthrift! "Of course I understand! As long as the old lady says so, I can ensure that she can taste braised pork and rice every day in her later years.

I will keep all the previous words. The entire community will pay one dollar per month.

I will take out the same amount of money for this total, and you will be responsible for taking care of it, auntie.

The extra money will be your reward! What do you think? " Hearing that they still had to pay, the others looked embarrassed, but they did not refute, and they were all looking forward to Ye Chuan's subsequent plans.

Yi Zhonghai asked, "Ye Chuan, what exactly are you planning?" Ye Chuan replied, "I just want the house and all the property to be divided equally among those who have contributed money and effort after the old lady dies. I have no regrets even if I contribute more, as long as I have a share! I don't want the fruits of the field to end up in your and Zhuzi's hands. It's really unacceptable."

"What does it have to do with you?" Sha Zhu interrupted nonchalantly. The "deaf-mute grandma" glared at Sha Zhu, then turned to Ye Chuan, her eyes full of confusion - how could her own child know her wishes? She really hoped that after her death, her affairs would be left to Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and the house would be passed on to Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly, his tone was gloomy and sarcastic: "After all, don't you want the old lady's house?"

Ye Chuan sneered, not caring at all, "I might as well give it up, and we can just divide it equally! As for whether I want it or not, it doesn't matter!" The deaf-mute old lady asked at this time: "Child, what are you thinking about?"

Staring into the old man's eyes, Ye Chuan said slowly: "My goal is very simple, it's best if you are uncomfortable! The more uncomfortable you are, the happier I will be!"

The emergency meeting ended and Yi Zhonghai did not achieve any of his goals. When he announced the adjournment of the meeting, Jia Zhang was still chasing him to ask for money. Yi Zhonghai glanced at her coldly and left without looking back.

Jia Zhang questioned him dissatisfiedly: "This guy! Didn't he say he would donate money to us? Why is there no money?"

No one paid any attention to Jia Zhang. Everyone looked at Ye Chuan with gratitude because this young man helped them save a dollar.

Jia Dongxu looked at Ye Chuan with vicious eyes. The family could have earned dozens of dollars, but it was all ruined by this guy. If he had known this, he should have punished him a few more times.

Qin Huairu looked disappointed. Her hopes of getting donations were dashed. It was impossible for her mother-in-law to subsidize them. They only had thirteen yuan to live on for the whole month.

After returning home, Liu Yue was still worried. Ye Chuan walked to her mother and whispered, "Mom, don't worry, there won't be any more problems. If Yi Zhonghai bothers us again, we will make sure that he can't get the higher-ranking role."

Ye Yongshun sat and sipped tea, he said with a smile: "Now that they have grown up, we will let them make the decisions on all matters at home!" Then he slapped the table.

Ye Chuan quickly stopped him, saying, "Captain Ye, don't do that." Then his father responded with a smile, "You little brat!" and hooked his finger at him.

Ye Chuan looked confused: "Dad, what do you mean?"

"Hurry up and bring me some cigarettes! It's not easy for me to finally get my turn to smoke, but you smoked the Daqianmen first?" Ye Yongshun asked with a complaint.

Taking most of the cigarettes from Ye Chuan's hand, Ye Yongshun said with satisfaction: "From now on, my father and I will only smoke this and no other brand!" There was some complaint in his tone.

Hearing this, Ye Chuan smiled, didn't say much, said hello to his parents, and went back to his room. He was excited to receive a lot of home appliances during the day.

The total value of these discarded household appliances is only thirty yuan, which can be recovered by repairing a second-hand radio.

He particularly liked the washing machine and refrigerator and wanted to keep them as spare parts, especially so that he could appear more respectable when facing Tong Yao's parents.

Noticing that the light in my parents' room was off, I decided to act quietly.

He quickly took out the electrical appliances from the system space.

For a moment, the entire floor of the house was filled with old electrical appliances in a mess, and the flying dust made people cough several times in a row.

Among the ten televisions, seven were nine inches and three were twelve inches, both domestically produced and imported, all in black and white; most of the forty-one radios were imported and disassembled into pieces, but fortunately the electronic motherboards were still intact; there was not much difference between the thirteen fans, whether imported or domestically produced; and the washing machines and refrigerators were imported from Japan and had been disassembled and installed countless times by the researchers of the Second Electronics Factory, but high-end technology and production were still controlled by other countries, and their efforts were in vain.

With more than 1,300 yuan in his hand, he wondered if repairing discarded appliances would help him realize his dream of having a fortune of 10,000 yuan.

Facing the junk-like electrical appliances in front of him, his mind was focused on the word "repair": "Repair."

"Ding! A total of seventy equipment items have been selected. Do you want to repair them?"

“It needs to be fixed!”

"Ding! Primary repair consumes 76 energy points, and full repair requires 112 energy points. Please decide!"

"Please fix it completely!"

After a flash of light, the old metal garbage and discarded plastic disappeared, replaced by 70 neatly arranged brand new home appliances, shining brightly.

Ye Chuan looked around, especially the TV and radio, which looked as exquisite as works of art.

Although in later generations, his home was often equipped with a large LCD TV, this was merely a layer of panel wrapping and had no aesthetic appeal other than a modern feel.

All similar products on the market tend to be the same.

But the televisions and radios in front of us are very different, each with a unique and beautiful design.

This is especially true for the radio. Its wooden exterior makes people feel as if they are traveling through time and space and feeling the heaviness of history when they hold it in their hands.

If placed in the future, these ordinary household appliances could form a small museum, attracting countless visitors.

A quick estimate showed that the remaining items besides those he kept for his own use could be sold for about ten thousand yuan. Unexpectedly, in just one month, he had already become a millionaire.

However, so many items cannot be cleared out at once as it would attract attention, so they must be sold slowly.

After packing up all the home appliances and storing them in the system space, Ye Chuan suddenly felt tired. He fell back on the bed, hearing the chirping of crickets outside the window, and fell into a deep sleep.
