Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Chapter 9 The Jia Family's Calculations

In the central courtyard of the Red Star Siheyuan.

The three members of the Jia family gathered in a small corner, and the children were not allowed to come.

"Dongxu, I have already told Uncle Yi Zhonghai in private, and he has told me that today, the work target of Ye Wenwu's family belongs to our Jia family no matter what. So you must pay some attention to the general meeting tonight."

"Mom, don't worry, you've suffered a lot for our family."

Instead, Jia Dongxu looked delighted. With one more job vacancy, their family would be better off.

Although I am now a second-level fitter and earn more than 30 yuan a month, there are many people in my family and I am the only one who has a fixed salary. I always feel overwhelmed and don't have much money left at the end of the year.

Moreover, my child had just been born, and I had a teenager, so I was usually very frugal when buying meat. But if I had an extra job, it would be different, and the whole family could eat as much as they wanted.

Don’t blame Jia Dongxu for being so realistic. If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. As long as his own family lives well, it doesn’t matter who else’s family is.

"Okay, then I'll be relieved."

The mother, Jia Zhang, patted her chest then, and then looked at her timid daughter-in-law Qin Huairu standing beside her, her expression becoming even uglier.

In his opinion, his son was so promising and well-off that he should marry a city girl, or one with a job.

Moreover, she raised her son with great difficulty, but in the end, she gave birth to a rural girl. Although Qin Huairu was very beautiful, in the eyes of her mother, she was far less important than a work indicator.

He didn't know how far this vixen would go to insist on marrying his son, and he would never marry her in this life if he didn't. He had no choice but to go along with his son.

All of this was due to the couple from the Ye family who insisted on arranging a marriage for their son. If they hadn't brought Qin Huairu here, how could their son have fallen in love with Qin Huairu? Now that their family has taken away one of their family's work quotas, it's already considered a bargain for them.

Thinking about the work targets that are about to be achieved, my mood suddenly became good again.

Qin Huairu was also very nervous. Seeing the look in her mother-in-law's eyes, she didn't know what she was thinking. Now she could only hope that her mother-in-law's wish would come true. If it couldn't be realized, she would probably have to enjoy the mixed doubles of mother and son.

. . . . . .

As soon as Sha Zhu left, Ye Wenwu closed the door and followed.

The time has come for the light to shine. We cannot push it any further, or it will arouse public anger, which will be bad.

Seeing Sha Zhu and Ye Wenwu enter the yard one after the other, the eyes of the first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong lit up. Today's protagonist has finally arrived.

Second uncle Liu Haizhong stood up impatiently and shouted:

"Everyone, please be quiet! Everyone, please be quiet!"

Unfortunately, everyone was still talking at once, with no intention of stopping. Only a few families pulled their sleeves to stop talking and looked at the second uncle Liu Haizhong.

Seeing that his words were completely useless, Second Uncle Liu Haizhong's face turned dark. Just as he was about to pick up the ceramic stainless steel pot in front of him and slam the table, he was pulled by Yi Zhonghai on the side.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I'm wasting a few minutes of your time to listen to what I, Yi Zhonghai, have to say, okay?"

As expected, the effect of the speech of the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai is stronger than that of the second uncle Liu Haizhong.

The already noisy crowd gradually became silent, and everyone turned their eyes to the three managers in front of them.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, a trace of happiness flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes. What did it mean that Yi Zhonghai could call down people that Liu Haizhong couldn't? It meant that his prestige was stronger than Liu Haizhong's, and everyone believed in him.

Ye Wenwu, who was standing by, saw that everyone had quieted down and realized that everyone had brought their own stools. He also hurried over without bringing his own stool and leaned against a pillar nearby.

"Okay, it seems like everyone has given me face and quieted down, so I won't waste your time."

"Today we called everyone here to discuss Ye Wenwu's situation in our compound. Since Ye Wenwu's parents just passed away, we shouldn't have started discussing it so early, but some things still have to be discussed in advance. Our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill gave Ye Wenwu's family two work quotas and a 1000 yuan pension."

After hearing what Uncle Yi Zhonghai said, everyone started talking about it. To be honest, they were all very envious of the Ye family's things. If they had known that Ye Wenwu was the only one left in the Ye family, they would have sold one of the two work indicators. Unfortunately, although they were remote workers, they really couldn't afford this one work indicator.

Moreover, the 1000 yuan pension is the money sacrificed by the parents, and anyone with a conscience would not think of it. However, some people have their eyes on the money, especially when they heard that the uncle and the No. Middle School had held a school-wide meeting for this matter, and some people began to have some ideas.

After hearing what Uncle Yi Zhonghai said, Ye Wenwu's mind also moved. After all, this was his own business and had nothing to do with the whole hospital. No matter what, he had to show his attitude now and not let Uncle Yi Zhonghai act according to his own thoughts.

"Uncle, if I remember correctly, the pension my parents left and the work quota the factory gave us should be our Ye family's own business. Why should this matter be discussed at the whole hospital meeting? Does this matter have something to do with the whole hospital? Does my parents still owe money to every family in the hospital? I remember that my parents never told me that my family owed money to the whole hospital. Besides, with my parents' previous salary, they wouldn't have to borrow money."

Ye Wenwu's words directly interrupted Uncle Yi Zhonghai's intention to continue speaking.

There was a hint of surprise in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, this matter was beyond his expectation, but it was also within his reason. He himself discovered that Ye Wenwu's personality had changed since his parents passed away. However, facing such a huge profit, as long as he provoked it a little, it would not be his family's business anymore.

Yi Zhonghai is very experienced in this kind of thing. Today he wants to see what this brat Ye Wenwu can do. Can he even cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace?

After hearing Ye Wenwu's words, those who didn't know the reason also understood. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with what Ye Wenwu said. This was indeed what people understood, so why should it be brought up for discussion?
