Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 488: The People's Reactions

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they quickly take root.

Yi Zhonghai has now begun to suspect Zhao Chuntao, but he does not show it.

The main reason is that it is impossible for Yi Zhonghai to have a son now.

A few years ago, his brother finally couldn't bear it anymore and retired before him.

There is no technology for artificial insemination in China at this time.

Even if there is, Yi Zhonghai can't afford it.

If he knew that Yi Xiaochuan was not his son.

Then he definitely couldn't accept this wild child.

But who will take care of me in my old age then?

Yi Zhonghai felt a little anxious when he thought about how he would have no one to take care of him if he got sick at his age.

So at this moment Yi Zhonghai could only force himself not to think about Zhao Chuntao.

He picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth.

The casserole beef made by He Daqing is very soft, tender and fragrant.

But Yi Zhonghai found it extremely bitter when he ate it.

Everyone had their own thoughts while eating at this banquet.

Some are envious, some are jealous, and some begin to have some small thoughts.

After the banquet ended in the evening, Yan Jiecheng went home with a full stomach and packed up his own leftovers.

He was about to lie down when Yu Li pulled him up.

Yan Jiecheng thought that his wife wanted to be intimate with him, but he was too full to exercise for the time being.

"Wife, I just ate. How about I take a rest before serving you?"

"Go away. I won't serve you with your ability. I want to talk to you about something else."

Yan Jiecheng smiled awkwardly, sat up and asked:

"Then what do you want to tell me?"

"Talking about him, Wang Jianjun."

Yan Jiecheng curled his lips helplessly and said:

"Wife, don't even think about your sister. Wang Jianjun doesn't have any interest in her, and now that Wang Jianjun's wife is back, there's even less hope. Haven't you seen how beautiful his wife is? I would believe you if you said she was only 20. Haitang can't compare to her. You should ask your father to find her a divorced woman and marry her off quickly."

Yu Li slapped Yan Jiecheng in the face and said unhappily:

"I didn't tell you this. I didn't know that there was no chance for my sister and Wang Jianjun."

"So what do you want to tell me?"

"I'm thinking about Wang Jianjun's wife. How can she be so rich? Think about the banquet tonight. I don't think you can afford the food Wang Jianjun put on the table with a month's salary."

Yan Jiecheng pulled the quilt over himself and said helplessly:

"Didn't Wang Jianjun say that his wife went to Hong Kong these years and made some money doing business there? If I had money, I would definitely eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day."

"That's what I want to say. You said that Shen Chuxia can make money by doing business, so why can't we do business and make money?"

Yan Jiecheng looked at his wife as if she were a fool and said:

"Wife, do you know there is a crime called speculation?"

Yu Li said somewhat unwillingly:

"I think this is still possible. I heard that the higher-ups seem to be loosening up on this matter. Maybe in a few years the policy will allow it.

Don’t you want to eat and drink well and dress well like Wang Jianjun’s family? I’m telling you, I envy Shen Chuxia’s clothes so much. Each piece costs at least tens or hundreds of dollars.”

Yu Li is a person with great vision, because according to history, the reform was carried out in two years.

At that time, many people chose to give up their stable jobs and go into business.

But Yan Jiecheng was a bit conservative. He hesitated for a moment and said:

"Even if the policy allows, we don't have the capital to start a business. We have only saved a few thousand yuan over the years. This amount of money is not enough to start a business."

"If it's not enough, we can borrow some. Your parents, my parents, and my sister can lend a little to us."

"Isn't it too early to talk about this now, wife? Why don't we wait until the policy changes before we think about this."

Yu Li is a decisive person.

She stood up and said:

"I think we can't wait until then. Although the current policy does not allow it, we can prepare in advance, such as what business to do, where to locate the store, and some details of opening the store. If we really wait until that day to prepare, won't someone else get there first?"

I have to say that Yu Li is indeed a woman with a business mind.

In the original drama, it was her idea for the couple to quit their jobs and open a restaurant.

You know, when the reform and opening up was just started, many people were hesitant and chose to wait and see.

And they became the first to try it out.

Even though they later plotted against Sha Zhu, he still controlled them and they couldn't run the restaurant anymore, so they simply transformed it into a hotpot restaurant.

No one without brains and courage can do this.

If they hadn't been cheated by Xu Damao later, the couple might have been able to create a Haidilao.

Yan Jiecheng was also aroused by Yu Li's words.

He is not sleepy now.

I simply got up and talked to Yu Li about my ideas for future entrepreneurship.

Not only Yan Jiecheng and his wife, but Xu Damao also had the same idea.

After all, if a billionaire lives next door to you, you're bound to have some thoughts.

He originally thought that as a projectionist he could live a comfortable life with his grey income.

But after seeing the arrogance of Wang Jianjun's family tonight, his horizons were instantly opened.

That's the kind of life people should live.

Xu Damao also began to think about how to make money, and he was bolder than Yan Jiecheng.

He doesn't take speculation seriously.

Anyway, as long as you don't get caught, it's okay.

I just don’t know what to do to make money quickly.

Xu Damao touched his mustache and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

And that night someone in the courtyard was bound to suffer from insomnia.

Because he has his own wife as a cover.

Wang Jianjun stopped pretending to be poor in the courtyard and started to live lavishly.

It’s a good feeling to not have to do anything secretly and not worry about being reported.

After staying in the country for a few days, Shen Chuxia returned to Hong Kong with her son.

She still has business to deal with in Hong Kong, and Wang Junbo and the others have not yet completed their studies.

Wang Jianjun didn't like living in such a big yard alone so he simply didn't move out.

However, he renovated his two houses.

Wang Jianjun directly installed a color TV in the house.

Of course, this color TV was not domestically produced. China would not start producing color TVs until a few years later.

This machine was actually produced in his own factory in Hong Kong.

When Wang Jianjun came back carrying this big guy.

Everyone in the hospital was dumbfounded.

Is there a TV this big?

Yan Fugui threw down his fishing rod and ran over to ask curiously:

"Jianjun, how big is your TV? Why is it so big?"

"Hey, this isn't that big. It's about 30 inches."
