Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Yan Fugui was angry when he heard this:

"I raised you up! I have to calculate the cost!"

Yan Jiecheng retorted unhappily:

"Dad, what you said is inappropriate. Haven't I settled all my affairs with you since I started working?

You only left me 5 yuan out of my 30-plus yuan salary before we got married, and used the rest as capital to buy a job, which I accepted. You also deducted the money for my wedding from my gift money. After we got married, we lived alone, and you asked me to give you 5 yuan alimony every month. You remember all this, right? "

Yan Fugui opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

This is the family tradition of the Yan family, they calculate everything clearly.

Yan Fugui had already calculated the money for raising several children and asked Yan Jiecheng to pay it back.

That is, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi stabbed him in the back and ran away.

As for Yan Jiecheng, according to Yan Fugui's standards, he actually paid back all the money, and even paid more.

So Yan Fugui couldn't find any fault at this time.

Yan Jiecheng became more and more excited as he spoke.

He had been resentful of being schemed against by Yan Fugui over the years.

This just happened to come out of my mind at this moment.

"Let's not talk about anything else, just the opening of the store. At the beginning, Lily and I were short of money and asked you to lend us some. You charged us 10% interest, which is simply usury. For the first time, I can't even pay you back even if I smash and rob."

Yu Li, who was standing by, was also angry about her father-in-law's plotting over the years.

She interrupted directly:

"Well, you understand. Why are you talking so much? Can you beat Dad in settling accounts? Yes, Mom is right. It's not appropriate for Mom to work in our place. You said that Mom is so old, and we, as the younger generation, should care for her and not let her work so hard."

Yu Li said as she looked at the second aunt:

"Mom, you don't have to go to work tomorrow. You can just stay at home and enjoy your retirement. I've settled the deal so that I'll still give you and dad five dollars each in retirement money every month. Don't worry about that."

As Yu Li said this, she winked at Yan Jiecheng and left with a random excuse.

Seeing that the opportunity to make money was gone, the second aunt stood up and said:

"No! No! That's not what I meant!"

But Yan Jiecheng and the other man ignored her and went back to the house.

The second aunt was unwilling to see dozens of dollars every month go by like that.

She looked at Yan Fugui and said anxiously:

"Old Yan, why don't you tell me about this?"

Yan Fugui sighed and said:

"Whatever you say, the disciple is better than the master. The boss is now ahead of me in terms of accounts. The mistake was that I shouldn't have taken that little interest. If we pay by investing, then the abacus in the daughter-in-law's hand will be in your hands, right? You don't have to go to work for him tomorrow, otherwise if they bother you, we won't even have the five dollars for retirement."

After saying this, Yan Fugui went to bed dejectedly.

Now he finally tasted the consequences of his plot against his own children.

After Yan Jiecheng and his wife took this opportunity to drive Second Aunt away, they felt relieved.

The next biggest problem is Shazhu.

In order to prevent Sha Zhu from knowing their plan, the two of them secretly established a good relationship with Fatty and tried to flatter Sha Zhu in front of him.

Although the fat man has some little ideas, he is not very smart.

After being flattered by Yan Jiecheng and his wife several times, I felt completely flattered.

He also began to feel that he had learned enough.

The main reason why he was usually respectful to Sha Zhu was to learn Sha Zhu's craft.

He is not a real grandson, so why would he like to be someone else's grandson?

Thinking that he would finally have a chance to show off after enduring all these years, the fat man decided to backstab Sha Zhu without much hesitation.

After negotiating the terms with the fat man.

Yan Jiejiecheng found Yu Li to discuss the dismissal of Sha Zhu.

Yu Li didn't want to argue with Sha Zhu, because not everyone could handle Sha Zhu's mouth.

The two of them shirked the responsibility several times, and finally it was Yan Jiecheng who went to talk to Sha Zhu about the matter.

After Yan Jiecheng settled the money, he pulled Sha Zhu aside to discuss the matter in private.

Because he was afraid of Sha Zhu's fighting ability, Yan Jiecheng spoke politely.

"Silly Zhu, there are some things that my wife can't say. So I'll say it. You see, the restaurants around here don't charge more than a thousand yuan to hire a chef. Look at this..."

Sha Zhu waved his hand and interrupted:

"Stop, stop. Do you want me to leave?"

Seeing that Sha Zhu was so sensible, Yan Jiecheng quickly took out the money and handed it over, saying:

"Here is your salary for the past few days, please count it."

Sha Zhu glanced at the money in Yan's hand and said sarcastically:

"It's a bit like Second Master's calculation. Okay, I'll take the money. You did it so cleanly, you must have discussed it with my apprentice. I'll leave, and he can stay."

Sha Zhu said this and glanced at the fat man.

He was also wondering why the fat man had been asking him questions these days, contrary to his usual behavior.

So that's the plan.

The fat guy felt a little guilty when he saw Sha Zhu's look. He turned his head away and didn't dare to look at Sha Zhu.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, right?"

"Okay, since you've agreed, let Fatty take care of today's work. I'll be leaving first. You'll have to settle his bill."

"Okay, if you're happy, I'm happy too."

Yan Jiecheng didn't expect Sha Zhu to be so easy to talk to, so he quickly stuffed the money into his hand.

Sha Zhu took the money, ignored him, took off his chef's uniform and left.

Seeing Sha Zhu leave like that, Yan Jiecheng was still a little bit unbelievable.

This situation was completely different from what he had imagined before.

How could Sha Zhu be so easy to talk to?

But it’s better that Sha Zhu is gone. He will be less worried now.

Yan Jiecheng immediately called Fatty and asked him to be responsible for cooking starting today.

But after Sha Zhu left Yan Jiecheng's shop, he went straight to buy a few steamed buns and took them home.

When he met the second aunt when he returned, he specifically mentioned to her that he was fired by Yan Jiecheng.

The second aunt was stunned when she heard this.

It would be fine if I was fired, but now that Shazhu has been fired as well, what will happen to the store’s business?

Sha Zhu sneered:

"Then your son has already planned it out and bribed my apprentice. Now my apprentice has taken my place."

After saying this, Sha Zhu took the buns and went home.

He publicized this matter on purpose.

The purpose is to let everyone in the hospital know what Yan Jiecheng has done.

As for the fact that his apprentice was backstabbing him, Sha Zhu was not worried at all.

Although the fat man is his apprentice.

But I haven’t mastered cooking yet.

Although he asked Fatty to cook for Yan Jiecheng during this period, he was the one who prepared the ingredients.

He prepared the core ingredients behind the fat man's back.

Without those core ingredients, the dishes cooked by the fat man will naturally not be up to standard.
