Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Soon, Yu Li also found a chef. He contacted Chef Gu from the third canteen, and also found several familiar colleagues. Together, they resigned and opened a small restaurant.

His restaurant had a good location and reasonable prices, and it quickly became popular.

Yu Li and Hao Min were immediately smug. They also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's see who dares to laugh at us for being stingy."

Yu Li is a little different from before; she's not as stingy anymore.

Originally, Yu Li was extremely stingy, even after she made money; she was reluctant to eat or drink anything herself.

Now she's quite generous; after earning money, she often buys food for her family.

Hao Min and Yan Jiecheng, a married couple, inherited their original personalities and were reluctant to spend money on themselves.

The two had a goal: to earn money as soon as possible and find a way to move out of the courtyard house.

Yu Li carried a bag of fruit home.

"Dad, Mom, when I passed by the market, I saw that the fruit looked pretty fresh, so I bought some."

Li Kang immediately ran out of the house and reached out to take the fruit from Yu Li's hand.

"Mom, Grandma has cooked dinner and is waiting for you."

The three middle-aged women across the street watched this scene with envy in their eyes.

Both are daughters-in-law, and both have a bad relationship with their mothers-in-law.

Yu Li earns money and always buys things for her family, as does her daughter-in-law.

"Old man, I think we should have a good talk with our son and daughter-in-law."

Compared to Yu Li, our daughter-in-law is simply outrageous.

Yan Bugui agreed wholeheartedly and also felt that Yan Jiecheng Hao Min was outrageous.

It's one thing if others don't let him take advantage of others, but even his own son won't let him take advantage of others. How can he hold his head up like that?

As soon as Yan Jiecheng and Hao Min returned, Auntie San called them over.

"What's wrong?" As soon as they entered the house, Yan Jiecheng and Hao Min sensed that something was amiss.

Yan Bugui had a long face, and the third aunt's expression was also not good.

Yan Bugui said, "Yan Jiecheng, I'm asking you. Do you still acknowledge me as your father?"

Yan Jiecheng said, "Can I deny it?"

Yan Bugui's face darkened: "Fine, I'll take it as you acknowledging me as your father."

Then let me ask you, shouldn't a son be filial to his parents?

Yan Jiecheng said, "Stop. I work at the steel rolling mill during the day, and after work I have to help out at a restaurant. I'm exhausted."

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, then I need to go back and rest."

Yan Bugui was speechless for a moment.

The third aunt chimed in: "Your dad wants to talk to you about something important. Yu Li ran a restaurant with you two, and she made money. Did you two make money too?"

“We’re just a small business.” When it comes to money, Yan Jiecheng refuses to tell Yan Bugui the truth.

The old woman said, "I'm just asking you, did you make any money?"

Yan Jiecheng remained silent, neither acknowledging nor opposing.

The three women said, "If you don't say anything, that means you agree."

Let me ask you again, Yu Li, when she earns money, knows to buy fruit and meat for her family.

Where are you two?

What did you buy for me and your dad?

Yan Bugui, having regained his senses, then asked, "Yes, tell me, what did you buy for us?"

Yan Jiecheng and Hao Min exchanged a glance before Yan Jiecheng spoke up: "Mom, that's not how it's said."

Hao Min and I wanted to open a restaurant, so we borrowed money everywhere, and in the end, we borrowed from you guys.

What did you say?

Good heavens, you're asking for 12% interest right off the bat. Your loan sharking is even more expensive than the loan sharks outside.

Having no other option, we went to find Yu Li.

Look at what my Uncle Li did over there. Without saying a word, they gave Yu Li their family savings book and didn't ask for a single penny of interest.

Remember, they didn't charge a single penny of interest.

After some discussion, it was decided that Yu Li would take the lion's share of the profits at the restaurant, while we would take a smaller share. If you had given me your savings account without hesitation back then, I would have bought you something to show my respect.

Are you willing to give it to me?

Hao Min said, "Also, my husband and I have to go to work, and there's no one to take care of Zhipeng."

Jiecheng and I wanted to ask Mom to keep an eye on things so he could have lunch here with you.

And how did you do it?

You've calculated everything for us, from eating and drinking to relieving ourselves.

Okay, our son is ours. Raising him is our responsibility.

But you are Zhipeng's grandparents, right?

How dare you ask us for a fee for our hard work?
Look at Uncle Li and Aunt Li over there, see how they did it.

They helped look after Zhipeng and cooked lunch for him.

Zhipeng told us that whatever Li Kang eats, Zhipeng eats too.

They didn't ask us for a single penny.

The couple launched into a long-winded explanation, leaving Yan Bugui and his wife speechless.

Unfortunately, the couple couldn't refute it. Because what Yan Jiecheng and his wife said was the truth.

In the Yan family, whoever is in the right has the most power. If you're in the wrong and can't win an argument, you have to obediently admit defeat and can't cheat.

Even Yan Bugui, as a parent, must abide by this rule.

This is the Yan family's way of survival, different from that of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

If it were Yi Zhonghai, he would definitely use the guise of morality to force Yan Jiecheng and his wife to apologize.

As for Liu Haizhong, the belt was already being waved around.

The idea of ​​getting something for nothing failed.

Yan Bugui and his wife did not give up; they had a second plan.

"Okay, you're right."

"What we said makes sense."

Yan Bugui took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Yes, you are right."

Your mother and I are looking for you about something else.

Yan Jiecheng was quite pleased to have defeated Yan Bugui. However, he did not let his guard down.

Living in the Yan family requires constant vigilance; otherwise, a moment of carelessness could lead to being plotted against.

"What is it? Let's make it clear first, if it's too difficult, I can't agree."

The three women exchanged a glance with Yan Bugui and said, "It's not difficult."

Look, your restaurant employs quite a few workers. Don't you have to pay them wages?

Instead of giving the money to them, you should give it to me and your mother.

"No?" Yan Jiecheng said, "If we don't pay them, will they work for us? Making others work without paying them is called exploitation."

Hao Min said, "Yan Jiecheng, didn't you understand? What Mom and Dad mean is that we should hire them and have them work at the restaurant."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "To be precise, it's helping out. Our family and the Li family have never had a good relationship. You should be careful when you cooperate with them."

Your mother and I went to the store so we could help you and keep an eye on Yu Li. We made sure you didn't suffer any losses.

Your mother and I have decided that you only need to pay us our regular salaries; we don't need any other money.

The initial agreement was that Yan Jiecheng would also have to pay Yu Li a sum of money to supervise her.

However, Yan Jiecheng and Hao Min's attitude made Yan Bugui wary, and he didn't dare to ask for an exorbitant amount.

Yan Jiecheng asked, "You're all so old, what can you do there?"

Yan Bugui said smugly, "I'll settle the accounts for you. When it comes to accounting, no one in our courtyard can match me. With me here, the Li family won't be able to cheat at the restaurant."

As for your mother, she could work as a waitress in a restaurant. She's also very good at tidying up.

Now there are four of us in the restaurant.

The old man said, "Many hands make light work. No matter how clever Yu Li and Li Zhenjiang are, they're no match for our family."

The third aunt added, "Your father and I are only thinking of you." (End of Chapter)
