Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

After getting married?

You're still a piece of shit! Who the hell knows where you went after you got married!

You bastard, are you trying to use your evil ideas on me?

"Guangqi, you must be joking. I've only been working here for less than two months. How can I get the tickets for you? It's better to go back and ask the second uncle. He knows a lot of people and he must have a way to do it." Wang Hongtao replied with a smile.

Liu Guangqi shook his head and sighed: "My father is a man who values ​​his reputation. He can't bring himself to ask others for help."

"Then there's nothing we can do. What kind of family are you marrying? Do you have to go through three turns and one ring for a wedding?" Wang Hongtao asked curiously.

Liu Guangqi shuddered and became alert for no reason: "Haha, it's just an ordinary family. As for who he married, everyone will know after they get married."

At this moment, a shrewd look flashed in Yan Bugui's eyes: "Guangqi, did you just tell Xiao Wang that there are benefits to lending you the ticket?"

"Well, Third Uncle, do you have any connections?" Liu Guangqi originally wanted to borrow money from Wang Hongtao, but unfortunately he failed. Now seeing Yan Bugui coming over, he felt that it was not impossible.

Anyway, he will run away after the marriage, so it doesn't matter whose money he borrows.

As for still...

I still won’t pay it back, and I will never pay it back in this lifetime.

"I don't have any tickets, but the third uncle still has some spare money at home."

"Come over here and talk to the third uncle in detail." Yan Bugui pulled Liu Guangqi aside to discuss, looking as if he didn't want him to get involved.

This made Wang Hongtao find it very funny.

Yan Bugui, Yan Bugui, you are after other people’s interest, but other people are after your principal.

Of course, although Wang Hongtao saw through everything, he had no intention of exposing it.

Yan Bugui looked as if he was afraid that Wang Hongtao would hear it, so even if he told him, Yan Bugui would not believe it. After all, everything he said before Liu Guangqi ran away was false. Yan Bugui would only think that Wang Hongtao wanted to steal his business.

This is called judging a noble man by one's own mean character.

Yan Bugui is like this, and Liu Guangqi on the other hand is not a good person either.

Having said that, although Old Liu either beat or scolded Guangtian Guangfu, he was still good to Liu Guangqi. But even so, Liu Guangqi still abandoned his parents and ran to help with the reconstruction, which was enough to show that this kid Liu Guangqi was not a good guy.

This kid makes a lot of noise as soon as he opens his mouth. I don't know what he is thinking and why he is so shameless.

He doesn't need those little benefits and money. It would not be worth it if he didn't get any benefit and got into trouble.

In a moment, Liu Guangqi had negotiated the price with the third uncle and came back.

The third uncle trotted back home, probably to withdraw money and write an IOU.

Liu Guangqi still didn't give up: "Brother Hongtao, if you don't have the ticket, you can use money. Lend me ten yuan, and I will pay you back twelve in two months at most!"

Wang Hongtao just closed his eyes and shook his head, not even bothering to talk to him.

Seeing this, Liu Guangqi could only sigh and look at Wang Hongtao hatefully.

At this critical moment, he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary to avoid any trouble.

If Wang Hongtao doesn't lend, there will be other people who are willing to lend. For Liu Guangqi, the most important thing at the moment is to keep a low profile, and he has to do it secretly when borrowing money and bills.

Liu Guangqi was careful, and Yan Bugui was equally cautious. They just put the IOU and money in their pockets and came over without even telling their family.

He pulled Liu Guangqi to a secluded place and said, "This hundred yuan is all Uncle San's belongings. We agreed that you have to return it to me within two months at the latest!"

Liu Guangqi swore: "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I will pay you back 120 yuan. I grew up in this courtyard since I was a child, so I dare not refuse your debt."

After hearing what Liu Guangqi said, Yan Bugui was relieved: "Okay, sign this note and I'll give you the money right away."

"okay!"

……

After getting the hundred yuan, Liu Guangqi went back satisfied.

Yan Bugui came back happily and continued listening to Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, without realizing the seriousness of the problem.

Out of sympathy for Yan Bugui's loss today, Wang Hongtao listened to the entire episode before planning to go back.

Before leaving, Yan Bugui specifically reminded people not to forget to say something when firing.

Wang Hongtao naturally agreed.

Seeing Wang Hongtao carrying the radio back, Yan Bugui felt a little reluctant, but he was indescribably happy in his heart.

I listened to the story of Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy for nothing today, and tomorrow I can brag about it to the old guys again.

The key point is that I borrowed one hundred yuan from Guangqi, and when I come back two months later, it will be twelve hundred yuan.

A huge profit of twenty!

Yan Bugui's steps were floating when he walked home.

"Ruihua, beat an egg into the pickled vegetable soup at noon."

The third aunt heard this and said distressedly: "Don't you want to live like this? Why are you breaking eggs when you have nothing to do?"

"Don't worry about it, just listen to me."

The third uncle said happily: "After eating, I will go to Shichahai to try my luck and see if I can catch some fish."

"I have already made an appointment with Xiao Wang over there. If the fire starts, come over to our house and call for help."

"Look at how our lives are going. They are becoming more and more hopeful."

The more Yan Bugui thought about it, the happier he became. He unconsciously hummed a passage from Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy:

"Crossing the forest and snowfield, I am so excited!"

The third aunt was happy to see her old man happy, so she went into the house to make cornmeal.

Yu Li smiled and looked forward to it. She could finally go to Wang's house to cook again. It would be even better if she could be called over at noon.

……

"Is the uncle at home?"

In order to avoid any further complications, Wang Hongtao planned to buy the bicycle during his rest day, so he went directly to Yi Zhonghai.

"In the!"

"Hongtao, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yi Zhonghai walked over happily.

Wang Hongtao was not shy about it and took out the bicycle ticket from his pocket. "This is what happened. Director Li gave me a bicycle ticket two days ago. I want to take advantage of today's break to buy the bicycle so that it will be more convenient for me to go out in the future."

It is said that talking to smart people saves effort. Before Wang Hongtao could explain, Yi Zhonghai understood what he meant.

"Okay, you're short of money to buy a bicycle, right? Tell me how much you need."

Wang Hongtao took the opportunity to compliment him: "You are such a generous man! So, lend me two hundred first, and after I buy the bicycle, I can also buy a bed and quilt or something."

Yi Zhonghai also wanted to befriend Wang Hongtao, so he readily agreed: "Two hundred? I'm afraid it's not enough to buy a bicycle and make a quilt, right?"

"You're already here, so why are you being polite?"

Then Yi Zhonghai walked into the inner room and fumbled around for a while before taking out a big black ten: "Here are three hundred. I'll lend it to you first. If it's not enough, come back to me!"

"Oh, then I'd like to thank you, uncle."

"By the way, uncle, where is the paper and pen? I'll write you an IOU."

Wang Hongtao collected the money and asked.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand: "Why write an IOU? You don't need it here. How can I not trust Xiao Wang's character?!"

"This……"

No even a promissory note?

Wang Hongtao had not expected this. He thought that Mr. Deng was really generous. He lent him three hundred yuan without even asking for a receipt.

Seeing Wang Hongtao's surprised expression, Yi Zhonghai felt very happy and laughed, "Xiao Wang, you are still young and may not understand some principles. Borrowing money may seem like borrowing money, but in fact you are borrowing people."

"I don't know about other people, but I, Yi Zhonghai, never ask for IOUs when I lend money to people, because I'm not afraid that they won't pay me back."

"Just now, the eldest son of my second uncle's family asked me to borrow money, and I lent him twenty, nothing more."

Wang Hongtao understood what Yi Zhonghai meant after a little thought.

What Yi Zhonghai said is actually very simple. In Yi Zhonghai's heart, everyone has a credit limit. He trusts you, so you can borrow as much as you want within this credit limit. It doesn't matter if you don't pay it back. Just use this credit limit to see a person clearly.

In his mind, Liu Guangqi was worth twenty, and himself, at least three hundred.

Yi Zhonghai's approach is similar to borrowing money from friends in later generations.

I won't lend you money easily, and if I lend you money, I don't intend to ask you to pay it back.

If you pay it back, we can still be friends. If you don’t, I won’t urge you. Just treat it as seeing a person clearly.

Wang Hongtao gave Yi Zhonghai a thumbs up: "After all, he is a great man, very insightful!"

Then he said just as straightforwardly, "Okay, since you said so, I won't argue with you. But let me be frank. I will definitely not be able to pay back the money in a year or two."

"It's okay. I'll pay you back when I have more money. I can wait."

After borrowing the money, Wang Hongtao exchanged a few words with Yi Zhonghai and mentioned that the third uncle also borrowed money from Liu Guangqi.

Yi Zhonghai's expression froze, but he quickly changed the subject.
