Siheyuan: Returning from studying abroad, with extraordinary understanding

This time, Liu Haizhong also remembered.

"Old Yan, it's true. Without money, we can't do anything. It's impossible for us to pay first, right?"

"But I'm telling you, I won't do that. You know, there has never been such a precedent for holding a banquet."

Liu Haizhong is greedy, but he is not a fool. He is not willing to pay first.

Even if he wanted to curry favor with Lin Changqing, he was reluctant to spend so much money. You know, this banquet would cost 200 yuan.

Even for him, who only has more than 40 yuan a month, he would have to go without food and drink for at least five months to save that much money.

However, he was a blacksmith, which was a physically demanding job, and he had to replenish his daily energy with food.

In other words, he spends more money on food and drink than anyone else every month, and because of his work, he doesn't have much left after a month.

Not to mention, he has three sons to raise.

At the same time, he also has to curry favor with some people and give them gifts, so it is a bit difficult for him to save money.

Asking him to pay money now would be like asking for his life.

Obviously, he is not stupid. Lin Changqing is not a leader yet. How could he spend money to curry favor with Lin Changqing?

"Lao Liu, don't you know who I am? How could I let you pay?"

Yan Bugui had no intention of plotting against Liu Haizhong, so of course he would not let him pay.

He was targeting Lin Changqing, so naturally he had to ask Lin Changqing to pay.

If Lin Changqing doesn't pay, how can the Lin family bleed so much?

His attempts to plot against Lin Changqing had failed several times, and this time he must get it back.

"That's good. Old Yan, I don't have to pay, everything is fine. Let's set the date for the banquet as soon as possible, and then ask Lin Changqing to pay."

"Old Yan, Old Liu, since you don't have any money, I will go back first. When you get the money, come to me. I, He Daqing, will definitely help you buy the ingredients."

"After all, we are neighbors. I can still help with this matter."

He Daqing suddenly thought that Lin Changqing had not mentioned the money yet, so maybe he didn't want to give it.

But due to his habitual thinking, he thought about it and still felt that Lin Changqing would give the money out of consideration for the relationship.

One must keep one's word. After all, Lin Changqing is an educated man and it is impossible for him to deceive ordinary people.

Although he had some guesses in his mind, He Daqing didn't dare say them out loud. If the banquet went wrong, it would be bad to bring trouble upon him.

He thought it would be better for him to stay out of this matter.

"Okay, Lao He, go ahead."

It was already night, and everything about the banquet had been discussed, except that Lin Changqing had to pay.

For other things, he still needs to look at the almanac, make lists, etc.

It had little to do with He Daqing, so he didn't want to keep He Daqing.

"Old Yan, I'm leaving now. When you go to buy the ingredients, remember to give me the list. Or, you can come with me."

He Daqing had no intention of embezzling money and generously allowed Yan Bugui to follow him.

Yan Bugui suddenly thought that if He Daqing followed him, He Daqing would definitely know the money for buying ingredients. In this case, his method of embezzling some money by starting with the ingredients would not work.

He can do the accounting, and if He Daqing doesn't cooperate, his falsification of accounts will be discovered.

I can’t let He Daqing go to buy ingredients. Once this idea came to my mind, I couldn’t get rid of it anymore.

However, he did not say it now. If he said it, both He Daqing and Liu Haizhong would think that he was trying to embezzle.

Therefore, the best way is for him and his wife to buy the ingredients without the involvement of these two people.

At that time, the account books you make yourself will be convincing.

"Old Yan, what are you thinking about?"

Yan Bugui was so frightened by Liu Haizhong's call that cold sweat broke out on his back.

Feeling guilty, he cursed Liu Haizhong inwardly, but a smile remained on his face, and his tone contained a hint of blame.

"Lao Liu, why are you yelling so loudly? I was just thinking about the banquet!"

"Old Yan, I called you several times, but you didn't respond to me. You didn't even notice that Old He left, so I had no choice but to call you louder."

"Old Yan, you can't blame me! How should we arrange the banquet?"

Although Liu Haizhong also participated in organizing banquets, at that time, Yi Zhonghai was mostly the host, and he helped out on the side and had some understanding of the whole process.

He is an uneducated fool. He knows a little about commanding and arranging things, but he doesn't know how to take the first step.

I had no choice but to ask Yan Bugui.

"Lao Liu, I haven't figured out what to do next. Once I've made a list, I'll discuss it with you tomorrow."

Yan Bugui knew about the banquet, but it was already evening, so naturally nothing could be done.

"Old Yan, be sure to inform me if anything happens." Liu Haizhong was a little worried that Yan Bugui would not take him out to play, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"Old Liu, I will definitely notify you. You know, how can I handle such a big event as a banquet by myself? I will definitely need your help!"

Yan Bugui knew very well what Liu Haizhong was thinking. In order to prevent Liu Haizhong from holding him back, he had no choice but to bring Liu Haizhong along.

Liu Haizhong agreed when he thought about it. The banquet concerned the entire courtyard, and Yan Bugui would never abandon him.

If he is not called, he can go to the Lin family. After all, the Lin family is the main family.

With just one word from others, Yan Bugui could be replaced.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Liu Haizhong went back happily.

Yan Bugui also went back to the house happily.

For a moment, the middle courtyard became much quieter.

"Qingzi, they've all left. They didn't ask you for money at all! They won't have forgotten, right?"

Hiding behind the door, Lin Fuxing, who was eavesdropping, looked at his son Lin Changqing with some confusion.

"Wouldn't it be better if you didn't ask us for money? But if you don't ask us today, you will ask us tomorrow."

Lin Changqing also overestimated Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong. He didn't expect that they would not ask him for money.

With his sharp senses, he naturally heard clearly what Yan Bugui and the others said outside the door. He had just distanced himself from the matter.

These people said that he didn't need to worry about anything and they would not blame the Lin family for anything.

"If they ask you for money tomorrow and you don't give it to them, they won't give up easily. Qingzi, you better be careful."

Lin Fuxing always felt uneasy.

A terrible idea suddenly popped up in his mind, that is, if his son didn't give the money, everyone in the hospital would unite to force his son to give the money.

If that happens, everyone in the hospital will be offended, and my family will have a hard time in the future!

However, as a father, he would not let them bully his son even if it meant risking his life.

Even if he offended everyone in the hospital, he was never afraid.

"Dad, don't worry! I'm fine, and our family will be fine. They can't bully our family."

Lin Changqing looked at his father's expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking.
