What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

In fact, Yan Xiaoyao had originally planned to chop the wood for firewood and had never thought about selling it since he was not short of money.

But after hearing what Yan Bugui said, he looked at the group of people who were still craning their necks outside to eat melons, and knew that if these old furniture continued to stay in the yard, there would be more messes, so he said casually: "It's not impossible. Since you want it, how much are you prepared to pay?"

Yan Bugui's eyes rolled around, and he quickly calculated in his mind. He thought that if he put all these items in the commissioned store, they could still be sold for dozens of yuan, but he was reluctant to spend so much money, otherwise he would not get a bargain, right?

Then he looked at Yan Xiaoyao cautiously with a tentative tone and said, "Xiaoyao, look at this uncle, I don't have much money either, how about 20 yuan?"

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, Yan Xiaoyao couldn't help but laugh. He raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile, and said, "20 yuan? I'd rather chop the firewood and burn it than sell it to you, otherwise people will think I'm a fool, right?"

Then he said with a cold face, a look of disdain, and a look of contempt in his eyes: "Uncle, do you think I am a fool? This is a complete set of furniture, most of which are intact, and only a small part needs to be repaired. Where can you buy these things for 20 yuan? Teach me, and I will try it some other day."

After some back and forth discussion with Yan Bugui, we finally agreed to sell all the old furniture to him for 40 yuan.

After the price was agreed upon, Yan Bugui's face was full of pain, and his facial features were almost wrinkled. He shouted at the boys at home: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and move back."

While apologetically smiling at Yan Xiaoyao, he said, "I'll let these guys move the things back first, and I'll come back to give you the money later."

I kept thinking in my mind that I had made some money. When I got home, I would clean the furniture that was still intact and sell it to the consignment store. I would repair the ones that were missing and keep them for my own use. I might even make some money.

After some consideration, the pain on Yan Bugui's face instantly faded a lot, and he felt less distressed in his heart.

Yan Xiaoyao looked at the skinny young men from the Yan family, who were struggling to move furniture, panting with exhaustion and sweat on their foreheads. His eyes inadvertently swept through the crowd and saw Yu Li in the crowd.

Yu Li's tender face was as smooth and delicate as a freshly peeled egg, shining charmingly in the sun. Her bulging chest, which rose and fell slightly with her breathing, was particularly eye-catching.

Yan Xiaoyao's eyes turned, and he said to the third uncle Yan Bugui enviously: "Oh, third uncle, your family is so nice! Look at my house, I am alone every day. After I came back from drinking too much last night, I didn't even have a sip of hot water to drink. It was Qin Huairu who saw that I was drunk and came to help me light the stove and heat the kang.

Besides, as a grown man, I have to light the fire, cook and wash clothes every day after get off work. Especially with my cooking skills, I can't even eat the food I make, which is simply a waste of food."

After listening to this, the third uncle's eyes rolled around.

He thought to himself that these were all trivial matters. He just wanted to have a good relationship with Yan Xiaoyao. Moreover, he often smelled the aroma of meat coming from his house during this period. If the third aunt came to cook for him, would he have the nerve not to let the third aunt take some home? This was all lucrative.

So, he said with a smile on his face: "Haha, Xiaoyao, it's no big deal. If you have any clothes to change, just give them to your third aunt to wash. When you get home from get off work, if your third aunt is free, I will ask her to come and help you cook or something."

Yan Xiaoyao saw that Third Uncle Yan Bugui had fallen for it, and then pretended to be embarrassed and said, "How can that be possible? Third Aunt is so old, it's not easy for her to take care of your whole family every day."

Then he pretended to be casual and said, "I am waiting for the renovation of my house to be completed. I want to see which daughter-in-law in our yard is bored at home. I will give her some money every month and ask her to help me wash clothes, cook, and clean the house every day."

At this time, when the beasts standing at the gate of the cross-courtyard heard that Yan Xiaoyao wanted to find someone to clean the house for him every day and get money every month, they were like chicken blood, and they all rushed to say: "My wife is idle at home every day, she can come and help you with the work."

When the third uncle heard that Yan Xiaoyao was willing to give money, his eyes lit up green, as if he had seen a mountain of gold.

The third uncle Yan Bugui waved his hands at those people as if he was chasing away flies, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Go away, go away, what does this have to do with you? Can't you see Xiaoyao is talking to me?" After shouting, he came to Yan Xiaoyao in a flash as if his feet were greased.

He kept rubbing his hands together, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Hey, Xiaoyao, take a look at our Yan Jiecheng's wife Yu Li. She is very efficient at housework!"

After seeing that Third Uncle had taken the bait, Yan Xiaoyao deliberately frowned and said in a pretentious manner, "Third Uncle, I was originally thinking of finding someone whose family is in financial difficulty, so that they can take this opportunity to live a more relaxed life."

When the third uncle heard this, his eyes widened like bells, and he slapped his chest with a sound as loud as a gong, and said loudly: "Xiaoyao, look at me, your third uncle. I have to support such a big family with just the meager salary of a primary school teacher. Look around this yard, which family has more mouths to feed than mine? Our family is almost broke, it's so difficult that I can't even describe it!"

Yan Xiaoyao suppressed his laughter, pursed his lips in embarrassment, and said, "Okay then, but Third Uncle, why don't you discuss this with Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li first?"

When the Third Uncle heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and patted his chest again, as if he was going to collapse it. He shouted, "If they don't agree to such a good thing, I will break their legs! Besides, when has our family not been ruled by the Third Uncle?"

Yan Xiaoyao tried hard to hold back his laughter and pretended to be in deep thought for a long time before he slowly said to Yan Bugui, "In that case, let your daughter Yu Li come over to help me with the housework when she is free every day. I will pay her five yuan a month."

Then he said to the third uncle: "Then, third uncle, you can give me five yuan less later. Just think of it as my advance payment for Yu Li's one month's salary."

After hearing this, Yan Bugui's small eyes narrowed into slits due to smiling, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together like a blooming chrysanthemum. His face was full of joy and he couldn't stop smiling at the corners of his mouth.
