Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

night.

The Cao family ate wild rabbit stewed with potatoes and boiled cabbage.

The staple food is white flour steamed buns.

The aroma of meat wafted into the yard.

The Yan family next door.

Yan Jiecheng enviously said, "The Cao family's life is getting better and better. They eat meat every other day. Dad, when do we eat meat? I haven't had any meat for two months."

Upon hearing this, his younger brothers and sisters also looked at Yan Bugui.

"Want to eat meat? Give me money!"

As soon as Yan Bugui opened his mouth, Yan Jiecheng immediately shut up.

He only has so little money a month, and he has to pay for food and accommodation, so he only has a few dollars left, and he has to pay for cigarettes and other things.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui sneered and said, "If you had Liangzi's ability, you could eat meat every day. If you don't have the ability, just shut up."

"Liangzi has a proper job, but I don't."

Yan Jiecheng said unconvinced.

Ah!

Yan Bugui said with a smile: "But Liangzi found his job by himself. Do you have the ability to find one too?"

Yan Jiecheng: “…”

Yan Bugui ignored him and said to the others, "Eat quickly. It smells delicious. Take a few more breaths. It's no different from eating meat."

The third aunt praised: "The head of the family is still good at calculating."

"That is......"

the other side.

The Cao family welcomed an uninvited guest.

"Liangzi, can you come out for a moment?"

Jia Dongxu's voice came from the door.

Cao Liang had no intention of paying any attention to him. After all, the relationship between the two families was not good.

But Chen Huilan advised: "Liangzi, you should go out and take a look! Maybe there is something wrong."

Since his mother had spoken, Cao Liang had no choice but to give her face, put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out.

"Is something wrong?"

Cao Liang spoke calmly, glancing at Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu is now thinner than last year and in poor spirits.

Calculating the time, Jia Dongxu had the accident during this period.

But it was none of his business, so he was too lazy to say more.

Jia Dongxu hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Liangzi, you also know that my wife is pregnant and lacks nutrition. I heard that you can get fish and rabbits, right? Can you exchange some for me?"

Cao Liang knew that Qin Huairu was pregnant again. It was estimated that she had been pregnant for three or four months now.

"No."

Cao Liang just shook his head.

There is no good person in this courtyard.

Especially the Jia family, if he really changes, Jia Zhang may report you.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to cause trouble for himself.

When he came back in the afternoon, what he said to Yan Bugui was nothing more than an excuse.

He didn't believe that Yan Bugui would be willing to spend two dollars to buy a rabbit to eat.

If he was willing, he would have agreed when Liu Haizhong came to buy meat.

"No, Liangzi you..."

When Jia Dongxu saw Cao Liang refused, he became extremely anxious.

Isn't this person lying with his eyes open?

He could smell it even as he was eating rabbit stewed with potatoes.

And some people also saw Cao Liang coming back carrying a few rabbits.

"Anything else?"

Cao Liang was too lazy to say more and wanted to chase the person away.

Jia Dongxu pleaded, "Liangzi, please help me. I have no other choice. We are all neighbors. Can you help me?"

"Forget about the emotional card, we are not familiar with each other."

Cao Liang said calmly: "Besides, even if I really change it for you, are you sure Qin Huairu can eat it?"

......Jia Dongxu opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

He also knew that it would be difficult. Even if he really got the meat, most of it would definitely go into the stomachs of his mother Jia Zhang and Bang Geng.

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

Cao Liang shook his head and turned back to the house.

Jia Dongxu is indeed a good person and loves his wife very much.

But what can I do if I have such a mother?

And looking at his current appearance, it is obvious that it is caused by long-term lack of nutrition.

I'm afraid this person usually leaves the delicious food for his family, and he usually does physical work, so he must be exhausted?

Otherwise nothing would have happened later.

Cao Liang came back and continued eating.

Chen Huilan asked, "Liangzi, I heard what you said just now. Qin Huairu is indeed pregnant. How about you help him?"

"Mom, you are still too kind."

Cao Liang shook his head and said seriously, "Is their family really in trouble? I don't think so. Even if they are really in trouble, don't they still have Yi Zhonghai?"

"The reason why he came to my house is simply because we are from the same courtyard and he wants to take advantage of me. Do you believe it or not, if I agree, Jia Zhang will report me in the future?"

Chen Huilan was shocked, but thinking about Jia Zhang's character, it was really possible.

Who in these surrounding alleys doesn’t know that Jia Zhang is a shrew?

No matter what, we must fight for three points.

"So! It's better not to do this kind of thankless work, and just live our own lives. Besides, if he really loves his wife, wouldn't he buy her on the black market?"

Chen Huilan nodded in agreement.

Although it is a bit more expensive on the black market, there is definitely goods.

Therefore, the reason why Jia Dongxu came to the house was that he felt that they were all neighbors and he wanted to pay less.

Maybe he has evil intentions and wants to frame me.

Cao Liang has always been very careful with the people in the hospital.

Cao Liang had been keeping an eye on this, but he didn't expect that he actually guessed it right.

After Jia Dongxu left Cao's house, he went to Sha Zhu's house.

At this time, Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai were already waiting here.

As soon as he saw Jia Dongxu coming back, Yi Zhonghai immediately asked, "How is Dongxu? Did he agree?"

Jia Dongxu shook his head, sat down and took a sip of wine, and said depressedly: "That kid refused to do it, and I even used Huairu as an excuse."

This is the method Yi Zhonghai came up with to deal with Cao Liang.

Seeing that the Cao family's lives were getting better and better, Yi Zhonghai felt very uncomfortable.

Especially if someone is doing better than him, an eighth-level worker, that would definitely not be acceptable.

And that kid is not obedient.

He thought of countless ways, but to no avail.

Recently, when Jia Dongxu saw that Qin Huairu was pregnant, he went to him to complain about his poverty. He happened to think of Cao Liang, so there was the scene where Jia Dongxu went to Cao's house just now.

As long as Cao Liang agrees, Jia Dongxu will give Cao Liang a discount on the basis of his status as a neighbor.

It’s cheaper than buying it on the black market.

After a few more transactions, they will report it. Even if Cao Liang is not in serious trouble, his reputation will be affected.

In this way, the Jia family gained benefits and could also report Cao Liang.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Sha Zhu echoed, "That boy Cao Liang is really not a manly man. Sister Qin is so pitiful, but she didn't even help him."

"Silly Zhu, what are you talking about? Why is Huairu pitiful? Did I abuse her?"

Jia Dongxu became dissatisfied when he heard this.

If you don’t know, you might think he abuses his wife all day long.

Sha Zhu was also a man of no mean disposition. Hearing this, he refuted rudely, "Isn't it? Sister Qin worked a lot in your house, ate little, and all the good food went into Jia Zhang's stomach. Isn't this considered abuse?"

"you......"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Yi Zhonghai spoke with a headache to stop the quarrel between the two.

I was feeling very depressed. We were discussing how to deal with Cao Liang, but why did our own people start quarreling first?
