Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

When he saw Yan Jiecheng, Yan Fugui snorted coldly and turned his head away without paying any attention to him.

"Dad, you are watching TV."

Yan Jiecheng came closer and asked with a smile.

"If you are nice to someone when there is nothing to do, he is either a traitor or a thief. If you have something to do, just say you have something to do."

Yan Jiecheng smiled awkwardly and looked at his wife.

Yu Li rolled her eyes at her husband, then stood up and said:

"Dad, I actually came here to ask you for something."

"I'm sorry, we've split up. You can only rely on yourselves now. An old man like me can't help you."

Yu Li suppressed the urge to turn around and leave, and said patiently:

"Dad, let me be frank. This time we came here to borrow money from you two. I've changed my mind and I'm planning to quit my job and start a business. I'm still short of a lot of capital, so I wanted to borrow some from you first. We can pay you back in three months at the earliest."

When Yan Fugui heard that he needed to borrow money, he became so anxious that he jumped up and down.

"No money, no money. I don't have any money."

"Dad, you have money. I've calculated it. With the money Yu Li and I gave you back then and your pension over the years, you have about 4,000 yuan in savings."

Yan Fugui was shocked, wondering how his son knew so much.

If he didn't know that no one except his wife could guess where he hid the money, he would have suspected Yan Jiecheng.

"That's my retirement money, don't try to get your hands on it. And have you forgotten what I told you? It's the greatest act of filial piety if your children can't support themselves. Even if we're a family, we have to keep our finances separate."

As soon as Yu Li saw the situation, she knew that she would not be able to borrow the money without paying a price.

She gritted her teeth and said:

"Dad, we're not lending this money for nothing. We'll pay you interest."

When he heard that there was interest, Yan Fugui immediately became excited.

"Tell me how much you want to borrow first."

Yu Li held up two fingers and said:

"Four thousand. Four thousand is enough."

Yan Fugui quickly calculated in his mind, and then said confidently;

"I don't have four thousand yuan. I can only lend you two thousand yuan. And I don't feel comfortable with so much money. We need to sign a document."

Yu Li thought that although she was still short of two thousand, it was better to have it than nothing.

"Don't worry, the document will definitely be signed."

"And I'll charge you ten percent interest on this."

"What!?"

Yan Jiecheng was so scared that he stood up.

Yu Li also looked at Yan Fugui in disbelief.

"Dad, you are lending money at high interest rates! The most you can get from borrowing money from outside is 3% interest."

"Then go and get it solved if you have the ability. If you want to borrow from me, the interest rate is 10%. In business, there are gains and losses. If you lose, where will I go on my coffin?"

"Dad! I'm telling you, he can't lose money on my business. Lily and I have been planning this for over a year."

"Don't tell me these things. Even if you make money, it has nothing to do with me. I won't think about it. But if you lose money, I have to make sure I can get it back."

Yan Fugui's stubborn attitude made the couple very angry.

Yu Li is also a decisive woman.

She immediately decided:

"Okay, I agree to this. Ten percent interest, two thousand dollars. I will pay you back in three months at the earliest."

Yan Fugui was delighted when he heard this.

Now he can make a lot of money again.

The two men left Yan Fugui's house with constipated looks on their faces.

Although they borrowed the money, they were not in a good mood.

Yan Jiecheng, look at your father, he is obsessed with money.

Yan Jiecheng was unhappy.

But who made them have no money?

"Let's start the business sooner so that we can pay back the money sooner. But where can we get the missing two thousand dollars?"

Yu Li also felt a headache.

They have searched everyone they could.

No one can borrow money now.

Suddenly, Yu Li had an idea and said:

"How could I forget about him, Wang Jianjun! Go borrow money from Wang Jianjun! His wife does business in Hong Kong and makes a lot of money. He should be able to come up with two thousand dollars."

When Yan Jiecheng heard that he was going to borrow money from Wang Jianjun, he felt a little hesitant.

He is the same age as Wang Jianjun.

It would be somewhat embarrassing for someone of the same generation to ask him for a loan of money.

Plus, his relationship with Wang Jianjun is rather ordinary.

It was still a little difficult for Yan Jiecheng to ask for a loan.

"Why not just forget it? We don't know him well."

"Then where else can you go to borrow money now? It won't cost you anything to ask, and we'll also give him the interest."

In the end, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to reluctantly follow his wife to find Wang Jianjun.

Wang Jianjun is currently playing the latest handheld game console in the house. This is the latest game developed by his company.

And his first game was naturally the classic Pokémon.

This classic game that has been around for decades is a great way to make money.

An IP alone can lead to games, animations and various peripheral products. A single game can support an entire gaming company.

Currently, he is the first tester of this game.

After all, he is the only one who knows those classic game settings.

He is the only one who can participate in the modeling of characters and Pokémon.

Wang Jianjun was a little surprised when he saw Yan Jiecheng and his wife coming to his house.

"What's the matter? You need me for something."

Yan Jiecheng was a little embarrassed to speak, and finally Yu Lichang stepped forward to explain the situation.

"Jianjun, we have no other choice but to borrow money from you. We even went to Jie Cheng's father to borrow money at high interest rates."

Wang Jianjun was speechless when he heard that Yan Fugui even lent money to his son at high interest rates.

Old Yan is driving his own children away.

"Okay, I'll lend you the money first. The interest rate is 1.5%. It's a bit unreasonable to charge 3% interest to people from the same courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Yu Li and her husband excitedly expressed their gratitude.

Wang Jianjun waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing to worry about.

His current income in China is over 10,000 yuan per month.

Two thousand yuan is not a lot for him.

Moreover, he had a good relationship with Yan Jiecheng, and the only people who offended him were Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang.

The most important thing is that when Yu Li asked him to borrow money, she directly said that she would charge him interest.

Wang Jianjun was very satisfied with this.

Ever since I found out that my wife has made money doing business in Hong Kong.

There were other people in the hospital who came to borrow money from him, but they never mentioned the interest.

Although Wang Jianjun doesn't lack those small things.

But if you don't even mention it, how can he feel comfortable lending it to you?

As for Yu Li and her husband, he was still relieved.

Although the Yan family's family tradition is a bit strange, fortunately, the children taught by Old Yan have positive values.

They are not capable of doing such a thing as borrowing money and not paying it back.
