Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yan Jiedi looked at Yan Jiekuang in shock: "Third Brother, are you out of your mind?"

Yan Jiekuang said with displeasure, "How dare you speak like that?"

Yan Jiedi said, "That's all I'm saying. If you don't want to go back to the city, then sell your job offer."

But let me tell you, I will absolutely not ask Brother Zhu for help.

I don't have the face to go to Brother Zhu for a job.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Jiedi, how could you be so foolish?"

Zhu Zi is a leader at the steel rolling mill; for him, securing a job is just a matter of a word.

But it's different for us.

My job at the thermos factory was worth at least six hundred yuan.

We'll split this 600 yuan 50/50, so each of us will pay 300 yuan.

How much is your salary?

Can you save 300 yuan a year?

Yan Jiedi sneered, "Do you think what Dad said is true? Did Yi Zhonghai really just give six hundred yuan?"

Yan Jiekuang thought for a moment and then realized he had almost been tricked.

As a member of the Yan family, I know Yan Bugui all too well. For money, Yan Bugui would actually sell his own son.

"Of course I know he wasn't telling the truth, but I never even considered selling it to him."

Let me tell you, in the place where I was sent to work in the countryside, there were quite a few educated youth who wanted to go back to the city.

"As long as there are job openings, they'd be willing to pay not just 600, but even 2,000."

Yan Jiedi naturally knew this, but she also knew that He Yuzhu would not give her a job.

"Brother, stop talking. I won't ask Brother Zhu. Even if I did, I wouldn't get it."

I advise you not to ask Brother Zhu for help.

Otherwise, if you get beaten up, don't blame me for not warning you.

You'd better hurry up and get the paperwork done to move out of Brother Zhu's house.

No matter what, Yan Jiedi did not agree.

Yan Jiekuang could only leave disappointed and went to the thermos factory.

After Yan Jiekuang left, Yan Jiedi felt uneasy, so she went to the steel rolling mill and told He Yuzhu the news.

He Yuzhu was not surprised when he heard the news.

When Yi Zhonghai and his friends get together, they're capable of doing all sorts of bizarre things.

"Jie Di, let me make this clear. No matter who asks, I will not give you any job opportunities."

"It's his business if Yan Jiekuang wants to sell job openings."

Yan Jiedi said, "Brother Zhu, I know. That's what I advised him too."

If he believes my dad, then he should bear the consequences himself.

He Yuzhu nodded: "If he comes to you again, just tell him that without work, he won't have a quota."

If there's no quota, don't even think about staying in the city.

Your parents will definitely be the first to kick him out.

This is not He Yuzhu exaggerating; it is something that could really happen.

For so many years, the Yan family has always preferred cornmeal to wheat flour.

Even when making dumplings for the Chinese New Year, he couldn't bear to use wheat flour.

The Yan family never ate expensive grain.

If Yan Jiekuang were to give up his job, he would definitely not be able to find another one.

Without work, he has no quota.

If they wanted to stay in the city, they had to pay for expensive grain. Yan Bugui would absolutely not pay that.

Yan Bugui would not only refuse to sell, but would also sell him grain at high prices, squeezing his savings.

Once his savings are completely drained, he will be kicked out of the house.

Forget about father and son; in the Yan family, the bond between father and son is far less valuable than money.

Yan Jiekuang, on the other hand, found his partner.

"Jie Kuang, what brings you here? Didn't you say you needed to complete some paperwork?"

Yan Jiekuang didn't dare to tell the truth, so he lied and said, "Xiaoxue, I missed you, so I came to see you."

Xiaoxue didn't doubt his words; on the contrary, she was deeply moved. "Stop being so mushy. Hurry up and get your household registration settled, then we'll get our marriage certificate right away."

By the way, what did your parents say about marriage?

Should we go and see them?

Yan Jiekuang quickly refused: "No. You don't know, there are no good people in our courtyard."

Whenever someone gets married, the people in the courtyard will cause trouble.

Also, I don't have a good relationship with my parents.

Anyway, after we get married, I'll come and live here, so it doesn't matter whether we see each other or not.

Xiaoxue said, "That won't do. We have to meet him no matter what."

"If I marry you, how can I possibly never see your parents again?"

Yan Jiekuang inwardly groaned. If he took his wife back with him, he would definitely be controlled by Yan Bugui.

"If you want to see her, I'll take you there. Actually, it doesn't matter whether we meet or not. My second brother only brought his wife home after he got married."

"Oh, by the way, in a couple of days, I'll take you to meet my second brother and sister-in-law first."

Xiaoxue was sent to the countryside with Yan Jiekuang, so she got to know Yan Jiekuang's family.

Last year, Yan Jiekuang was so ill that none of his family members visited him.

She was unwilling to accept such a family.

She wouldn't have brought it up if it weren't for the fact that it would look bad if she didn't go.

"My parents even asked me, 'What are we going to do about the wedding?'"

Yan Jiekuang was even more worried: "Maybe we should just not hold it. People in our compound don't usually have wedding ceremonies."

"Really?" Xiaoxue was a little skeptical.

Yan Jiekuang then told Xiaoxue about He Yuzhu and the others' marriage, which finally convinced her.

He didn't dare stay there any longer, so he made an excuse to go through some paperwork and left the thermos factory.

With nowhere else to go, Yan Jiekuang went to Yan Jiefang's house again.

Yan Jiefang saw him and realized he had returned.

"It's good that you're back. So, how much living expenses did Dad ask you for?"

These past few years, Jie Di and I haven't gone home, and he can't find anyone to ask for living expenses. I guess he's asking for quite a lot.

Yan Jiekuang said, "I don't live at home. I went to find Jie Di, and Jie Di begged Brother Zhu Zi, so I stayed at Brother Zhu Zi's house."

Yan Jiefang said, "That's right. In our courtyard, only Sha Zhu's family is doing well."

I heard that Jie Di and Sha Zhu have had a good relationship in the past two years.

When I last visited the courtyard house, my mother complained to me, saying that Jie Di was an ungrateful wretch. She said that when they gave gifts to Sha Zhu for the New Year, they didn't give her any.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Why should we give it to her? She raised us, and we paid for it all."

Yan Jiefang said, "That's what I said. You don't know, when I went to see them, they even asked me for living expenses before they would feed me."

Furthermore, when my sister-in-law had her baby and asked them to help take care of her grandson, they demanded money from her.

They've really fallen for money.

Yan Jiekuang chatted with Yan Jiefang for a long time, but in the end they didn't get to eat.

In Yan Jiefang's words, his own life was not good either; his wife was pregnant, and they didn't have enough food.

Yan Jiekuang had no choice but to return to the courtyard house.

When he got back, everyone had already eaten.

He Yuzhu was very dissatisfied with Yan Jiekuang's lack of tact. He was too lazy to prepare any food for Yan Jiekuang, so he just threw him two steamed buns and a plate of pickled vegetables and that was it.

Yan Jiekuang looked at He Yuzhu, but didn't dare to raise any objections.

After dinner, he chatted with He Yuzhu, saying things that He Yuzhu wanted to hear.

He Yuzhu could tell at a glance that his intentions were not pure, so he just went along with it.

Taking advantage of He Yuzhu's good mood, Yan Jiekuang made a request: "Brother Zhu, I don't want to work at the thermos factory anymore. Can you find me a job at the steel rolling mill?"

He Yuzhu's face immediately turned cold: "Jie Kuang, you're lucky to have a job, why are you being so picky?"

I'm telling you clearly, the steel rolling mill currently has no extra jobs.

Yan Jiekuang didn't want to give up and pleaded, "Brother Zhu, please help me. I've never asked you for anything since I was a child."

Seeing that he was stubborn and unyielding, He Yuzhu became annoyed: "What? I let you stay for two days, and you've caused me trouble?"
Find yourself a place to stay tomorrow; you're not welcome at my house. (End of Chapter)
