Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

"No rush, I've got everything arranged."

Chen Jianye talked to Ran Qiuye about work.

The two chatted for a while.

dong dong!

A knock sounded at the Chen family's door.

"Who?"

Ran Qiuye shouted.

"It's me, Qin Huairu."

Qin Huairu pushed open the door, and Qin Jingru and Xiao Dang stood beside her.

Qin Jingru held the locust flower in her arms.

"Didn't I tell you to go to the steel rolling mill tomorrow morning?"

Chen Jianye was a little unhappy; he still wanted to be intimate with Ran Qiuye.

"Uncle, I brought my family here specifically to thank you."

Qin Huairu said.

"No need to thank me, I'll take you to your workplace, it's on my way."

"Just take care of things at home."

Chen Jianye remained indifferent.

He had no connection with Qin Huairu, and more importantly, Qin Huairu was now a widow.

His close association with the widow might invite gossip.

Chen Jianye didn't have time to deal with gossipy people and didn't want to cause himself any trouble.

"Jingru and I will make some steamed buns later and bring them to you as a token of our appreciation."

Qin Huairu spoke in a flattering tone.

"No need. Your family is struggling financially, raising three children. Just keep enough for yourself."

Chen Jianye waved his hand.

Seeing that Chen Jianye was not in high spirits, Qin Huairu left with her entourage.

Chen Jianye closed the door and said to Ran Qiuye, "She wants to work at the steel rolling mill, but she's too scared to go alone, so she asked me to take her."

"Qin Huairu is also a pitiful person."

Ran Qiuye sighed.

"I don't think so. Her life is actually better now than before."

Chen Jianye chuckled.

Ran Qiuye thought about it and couldn't help but smile.

Jia Dongxu went, and Jia Zhangshi also went; both of them left behind several hundred yuan in compensation.

Qin Huairu is now in charge of the Jia family, and her cousin Qin Jingru also helps take care of the children.

Qin Huairu has a large sum of money, a job, and someone to help take care of her child.

Where else can you find this kind of life?

"young married woman."

Chen Jianye sat down next to Ran Qiuye and gave her a flirtatious wink.

Ran Qiuye knew what he meant, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "During the day."

"What's wrong with it being daytime? I've already closed the door. Who could possibly come in?"

Chen Jianye said confidently.

The two were about to get intimate.

dong dong!

Someone knocked on the door again.

"Who?"

Chen Jianye's voice was loud, and his face was dark.

What the hell are you doing?

He rarely gets to go home, and there are always people coming to see him.

"It's me, Jianye, Aunt Wang from the next courtyard."

An old woman's voice came from outside.

"And who is Aunt Wang?"

Chen Jianye raised an eyebrow and looked at Ran Qiuye.

He didn't remember knowing this person.

"I am not sure as well."

Ran Qiuye shook her head.

Helpless, Chen Jianye could only put down Ran Qiuye and walk to the front door to open it.

"Jianye, don't you recognize me? When you were a child in school, I used to give you candy."

Aunt Wang from the next courtyard tried to get on his good side with a smile.

"I really can't remember. What do you need me for?"

Chen Jianye asked as calmly as possible.

"There's something I'd like you to help me with. My youngest son is nineteen years old and just graduated from high school. He's waiting to be assigned a job."

"Could you transfer him to the steel rolling mill?"

Aunt Wang said earnestly.

"No, I don't have that authority. You should go find the leaders of the subdistrict office."

Chen Jianye said unhappily.

If someone really needs him for something important, he won't say anything and will just do his job well.

Unexpectedly, this Aunt Wang was looking for him to use connections.

What, you think he's easy to talk to because you saw him readily agree to Qin Huairu's request?

"Jianye, everyone says you're a big leader at the steel rolling mill, isn't this just a matter of a word from you?"

When you were little, I was still...

Aunt Wang was a little unhappy and brought up the old story again.

"I really don't have that authority, I can't help."

"Everyone says I'm a big leader, but that's just flattery. I work in the steel rolling mill, doing technical work, and I have no say in personnel matters."

Chen Jianye said a few more words.

"Hey, why don't you talk to the HR manager about it..."

Aunt Wang continued.

Snapped!

Chen Jianye closed the door, too lazy to argue with her any further.

Aunt Wang was rebuffed and left in a huff.

"what happened?"

Ran Qiuye asked.

"She wanted me to transfer her youngest son to work in the steel rolling mill, which was completely inexplicable."

Chen Jianye was in no mood for anything.

“That won’t do. If we agree to this one, everyone else will flock here.”

Ran Qiuye quickly replied.

"Of course I won't agree to her request. There are all kinds of people out there."

Chen Jianye slung the cloth bag over his shoulder.

"No more?"

Ran Qiuye asked with a smile.

"Come back tonight. If it takes too long, people might gossip."

Chen Jianye was speechless.

The arrow was already on the bowstring, but he forcefully pressed it down.

What the hell.

"Come home early tonight, I'll take care of you."

Ran Qiuye gave her a flirtatious wink.

Chen Jianye was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

He knew that Ran Qiuye was deliberately 'seducing' him.

He opened the door and quickly left with his cloth bag slung over his shoulder.

"Jianye is gone."

"You're leaving already? Aren't you going to stay a little longer?"

"Work is so busy every day, I only stay at home for a short while before leaving again."

Several older women were speaking in their local dialect.

"I'm leaving now, I have things to do at work."

Chen Jianye waved his hand and quickly left.

After Chen Jianye left, the aunties in the compound continued chatting.

They already knew that Chen Jianye had rejected Aunt Wang's request, and they knew that Chen Jianye was not an easy person to talk to.

He also gave up the idea of ​​asking Chen Jianye for help.

Ran Qiuye was absolutely right.

Human nature is what it is.

If Chen Jianye helps Aunt Wang, then Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li, and Aunt Liu will all ask Chen Jianye for help.

After all, Chen Jianye helped the Wang family. Our Zhao family, Li family, Liu family... have an even better relationship with Chen Jianye than the Wang family. Chen Jianye should definitely help us.

If Chen Jianye doesn't help, he will incur the wrath of other residents.

Therefore, Chen Jianye refused to help anyone.

Even when offering help, it must be based on sound reasoning and sufficient justification to convince everyone.

After leaving the courtyard, Chen Jianye rode his bicycle straight to Lingjing Hutong.

Soon, he arrived at the small courtyard and gently knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"it's me."

After a brief conversation, the door opened.

With a smile on her face, You Fengxia led Chen Jianye into the house.

Chen Jianye exchanged a few words with Grandma You Fengxia, and then went into the room with You Fengxia.

The two are connected.

"Why are you here today?"

After finishing the first matter, You Fengxia asked.

"I'm not busy at work, so I came out for a stroll."

"The most important thing is that I miss you."

Chen Jianye spoke kindly.

You Fengxia's lips curled slightly.

After a while, she remembered something: "Look, is my stomach bulging?"

"I can't tell you're lying down."

Chen Jianye looked at it carefully for a few moments and then said.

"Then I'll stand up, and you can look again."

You Fengxia stood up, turned around, and made sure Chen Jianye could see her more clearly.

"It seems to have bulged a little."

Chen Jianye stroked his chin and said.

"Haha, it's a drum now."

You Fengxia was very happy, placing her hand on her stomach with a look of anticipation on her face.

In a few months, she will become a mother.

This is her and Chen Jianye's child.

When it was time to leave work, Chen Jianye was about to go.

"Why don't you eat at home before you leave?"

You Fengxia tried to persuade her to stay.

"I still have some things to do over there, I'll come over for lunch next time."

Chen Jianye said casually.

You Fengxia felt very uncomfortable watching Chen Jianye's departing figure.

She understood that for Chen Jianye, that was his home.
