Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Looking at the suitcase of jewelry and gold that Lou Xiao'e took out, Yan Jiefang did not hesitate and put it directly into the space.

Yan Jiefang wanted her to live in the quadrangle courtyard that was a reward for the mission, and he also wanted to go and see it, so he said to Lou Xiao'e who was getting dressed: "Xiao'e, let's go and take a look at the quadrangle courtyard over at Zhengyang Gate?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Yan Jiefang, thought for a while and said, "You go back first, I'll come after I get dressed. We can't go out together, it would be bad if we attract the attention of the people in the yard."

Yan Jiefang also knew about this and did not object. He stood in the room and looked outside. When he saw that there was no one there, he walked out with a swagger.

About twenty minutes later, Lou Xiao'e, who walked a little unnaturally, pushed a bicycle from the front yard to outside the yard.

Yan Jiefang, who was sitting at the door, pretended to be unfamiliar with her and did not greet her. After she walked a distance away, he followed her out of the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, Yan Jiefang walked in front, while Lou Xiao'e, who was riding a bicycle, pretended nothing had happened and rode slowly.

According to the information provided by the system, I quickly found the location of the courtyard, took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

The clean courtyard that came into view, without any fallen leaves or dust, seemed to have just been swept. Yan Jiefang felt comfortable, without any sense of desolation caused by no one living there.

Not long after Yan Jiefang entered the yard, Lou Xiao'e came in pushing her bicycle. Looking at the clean yard, she smiled. She did not ask about the origin of the yard. She was a smart person and knew that if Yan Jiefang wanted her to know, he would definitely tell her. If he did not want her to know, even if she asked, the result would be inaccurate.

"Jiefang, are we going to live in this place?" Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile.

Then he handed the bicycle to Yan Jiefang and ran over to check every room.

After Lou Xiao'e finished her inspection, she walked up to Yan Jiefang with a depressed look on her face and said, "This place is too big, even bigger than the Red Star Courtyard. If you don't come and live here, I'll be scared too!"

Yan Jiefang thought about it and agreed. This was true. There were three courtyards in the three-story quadrangle. It would be dangerous if a bad guy came in at night.

After thinking for a while, Yan Jiefang could only say helplessly: "Then wait a few days, I will buy a courtyard house with one entrance, and you can move in."

As soon as Yan Jiefang finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "No need to buy it. My family has a courtyard house here, on a street next to it, but no one has lived there for a long time. It's not very clean and needs to be cleaned."

Looking at Lou Xiao'e's calm words, three words kept flashing in Yan Jiefang's mind:

Little rich woman!

This made Yan Jiefang feel like he was being kept.

After walking around the courtyard, the two returned to the Red Star Courtyard one after the other. In order to avoid trouble, they pretended not to be very familiar with each other.

Because of the butterfly blowing by Yan Jiefang, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao divorced earlier than planned. If he showed any signs of having a close relationship with Lou Xiao'e, he would definitely get into trouble when Xu Damao came out, and this would not be in line with the behavior of Yan Jiefang and Lao Liu.

Watching Lou Xiao'e walk into the middle courtyard, Yan Jiefang also pretended nothing had happened and walked into the front yard.

"Jiefang, where have you been? The things you brought back today are quite delicious. Go get some more and we can dry them and stir-fry them in the winter."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed third uncle Yan Bugui, who quickly spoke up.

Yan Jiefang couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "It must be delicious. If you sell it to those who like to eat it, you can get two or three yuan per pound!"

"So expensive?" Uncle Yan Bugui immediately became interested and asked, "Where did you pick these? Take me with you to pick some more!"

For the calculating uncle Yan Bugui, he would do anything as long as it was profitable. A pound of mushrooms that could be exchanged for two or three yuan was a cost-free business, so he couldn't let others get away with it.

"Next weekend, I will take you to pick them myself. People in the countryside don't eat this stuff, so it won't be thrown away." Although Yan Jiefang was a little disgusted with his father's calculating character, he still answered his questions patiently.

Seeing his father asking him questions, he suddenly remembered that he didn't use his bicycle this afternoon and his father didn't go fishing, so he couldn't help asking, "Dad, why didn't you go fishing this afternoon?"

When the third uncle Yan Bugui heard this question, he hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing his father's look, Yan Jiefang knew something must be wrong, and asked, "Dad, you're not going to ask me for money again, are you? I'm telling you, I don't have any money."

The third uncle Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and replied unhappily: "Am I that kind of person?"

"Yes!" Yan Jiefang said directly.

The third uncle Yan Bugui ignored his son and said to himself, "Yi Zhonghai came to see me again today. There will be a general meeting tonight. He gave me eleven yuan and asked me to donate ten yuan to the Jia family tonight. The remaining one yuan is my hard work fee. In addition, Xu Damao was caught for adultery, which caused a huge loss of reputation to the courtyard. He must pay compensation. The money Xu Damao paid will be divided between the needy families in the courtyard and our family."

After hearing this, Yan Jiefang curled his lips and said with a sneer on his face: "Dad, I bought you off with just a few dollars!"

Seeing his father's tangled look, Yan Jiefang asked, "You didn't agree to it just for a few dollars, did you?"

Uncle Yan Bugui shook his head, sighed, and said, "I didn't agree to it, but he threw the money down and ran away without waiting for me to refuse. I think he will definitely use his usual tricks tonight to morally blackmail the residents of our compound. I am your father and the uncle, and they all donated, so how can I not donate?"

"You have made a lot of money from fishing and selling fish recently. People in the yard also know our situation. Yi Zhonghai will definitely force us to donate. It seems that we will lose two dollars again tonight."

Yan Jiefang asked in confusion: "Didn't he give you ten dollars? How could you lose it?"

"If I take his money, I will be in cahoots with him. Once I'm on his boat, it will be difficult to get off." Yan Bugui is also a smart man. Although he is greedy for small gains, he will not touch on issues of principle.

Although Yan Jiefang is a modern man, he still lacks some twists and turns.

"Old Yi is a very cunning person. He pretends to be a good guy in front of outsiders, but every time he does something dirty, he drags Liu Haizhong and me into it. He takes the good reputation and pushes the bad things onto Liu Haizhong and me. It's really helpless!" sighed the third uncle Yan Bugui.

Yan Jiefang curled his lips and said, "It's your position as the third uncle that you are reluctant to give up."

Right!

Anyway, I won't be short of money and supplies in the future, so why should I be a big boss?

The third uncle Yan Bugui slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "When this third uncle offends people for nothing, I will resign from this position at the general meeting tonight. I will not do a job that offends people."

Then he looked at his son, his eyes full of golden light, as if he saw a gold ingot.
