Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

"Hey, Dongsheng, you're back? You were away for quite a long time this time. You were gone for more than two weeks. We all thought you would come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival. But you don't know that something big happened in our courtyard."

Xu Dongsheng returned to the courtyard and just as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he ran into Uncle Zhou from the back house. Uncle Zhou saw Xu Dongsheng coming back and immediately told him that something big had happened in the courtyard.

"Oh? Something big happened in our courtyard? Come on, Uncle Zhou, come to our house and tell us about it. When I was shopping in the countryside, the villagers gave me some snacks to go with the wine. Would you like to try some?"

Xu Dongsheng immediately started to speculate, did Yan Jiecheng make money? Besides, Old Zhou only had a married daughter, and the daughter didn't come back often, so Old Zhou was almost childless. Xu Dongsheng immediately invited Old Zhou home for a drink.

"Oh, that's great, I'm so shameless, old man."

Old Zhou received Xu Dongsheng's invitation. Seeing the large and small bags on Xu Dongsheng's bicycle, he didn't hesitate and immediately helped Xu Dongsheng push the bicycle back home.

"So, the Third Uncle's family was deceived into taking out a loan shark? The Third Uncle is a teacher, how could he be deceived?"

After hearing this, Xu Dongsheng was surprised. He originally thought that only Yan Jiecheng was cheated, but he didn't expect that the whole family was cheated. Yan Bugui lost all his pension money and even owed usurious loans.

"Of course not. Who could have imagined that? Would this profitable business be a scam? You don't know that during the few days when you went out to purchase, the kid from the Yan family became more and more arrogant. I even heard that he wanted to buy a bicycle.

As a result, I don't know what happened, but Old Yan also started to do it. That guy, in the second week after you left, Old Yan didn't go to class at all, and ran out with the two boys every day. Later, the eldest son of Old Yan's family led Jia Dongxu, the apprentice of the eldest uncle, into the ditch. It turns out that the old man is still the wisest. Old Yi is worthy of having worked for a few years longer than Old Yan. Old Yi discovered that something was wrong on the third day.

He dissuaded Jia Dongxu from continuing, otherwise he would suffer a great loss. For this reason, the two masters and apprentices had a quarrel. However, this was not something that should have happened to Jia Dongxu's family. When Jia Dongxu was about to go the next day, Lao Yi blocked him at the Chuihua Gate and did not allow Jia Dongxu to go.

As a result, Old Yan and those people were all wiped out. Jia Dongxu was not implicated because he did not go, and the Jia family did not suffer as a result. Otherwise, Jia Dongxu would have to support his wife Jia and raise the hungry Banggeng and Xiaodang, and his whole family would have been ruined.

Later, the police came to our yard and took statements from every household, and the street office also came to our yard's bulletin board. Only then did we know that Old Yan and his two sons had already owed high-interest loan sharks. However, when they were arrested, they also gave away the money lenders.

Later, the police took full advantage and busted the illegal loan sharks. Old Yan no longer had to pay back his high-interest loans, but the three of them are still being held in the police station, and no one knows what their final sentence will be.

We also heard that Hu Yi came to your house to look for you that day, probably to recruit you to join the gang."

Uncle Zhou told Xu Dongsheng what had happened to Yan Bugui's family in the past few days. Xu Dongsheng was surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect Yan Bugui to fall into the trap, and he was deceived so badly that he lost all his pension money and even owed usury. What was this old guy thinking? Why couldn't he control himself?

"No, that's right. At that time, this kid came to our house after seeing an old man. We talked about our past school life, and finally he asked me to follow him to make money. But everyone in our hospital knows what kind of person I am. I basically don't do risky things, and I don't eat free pie. I didn't expect that my honest behavior would help us avoid such a big disaster."

Xu Dongsheng sighed and patted his chest in fear.

"That's not right, kid. We have watched you grow up since you were a kid. You have completely learned Old Xu's temperament. Old Xu is the best teacher."

Uncle Zhou also expressed his approval of Xu Dongsheng's character, and then the two chatted about this and that. It was almost time, and Uncle Zhou was not a heavy drinker, so he drank two full glasses with Xu Dongsheng and went home.

After Lao Zhou went back, Xu Dongsheng started to get busy. He took out the flour from the hemispheric space and began to prepare steamed buns. Today Xu Dongsheng was going to steam buns. With his mastery of pastry, Xu Dongsheng was ready to show off his skills and steam some buns. For so long, he had been eating either steamed corn bread or steamed corn bread every day, and he could hardly bear it anymore.

While steaming the buns, Xu Dongsheng was thinking that since Yan Bugui's family had been arrested, the fifteen guys were probably arrested as well. It would be impossible for these people not to give Yi Zhonghai away.

Xu Dongsheng felt that Old Man Zhou might not know that much, so he immediately prepared to wait for Old Zhou to come back and ask him what the specific situation was. He just invited Old Man Zhou to drink and eat out of pity for the old man.

However, when Xu Dongsheng was cooking at home, Lao Zhou, who had left their home, began to visit the courtyard again. Suddenly, Xu Dongsheng's character became better with the contrast of Yan Bugui and his son.

"Master, Xu Dongsheng is back."

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu came back from get off work and saw the white mist coming out of Xu Dongsheng's house. There was also a fragrance coming from Xu Dongsheng's house. The children would pass by the door of Xu Dongsheng's house and smell the fragrance. The two masters and apprentices knew that Xu Dongsheng was back. Xu Dongsheng disappeared for two weeks. They thought something happened to Xu Dongsheng, but when they heard Xu Dazhuang say that Xu Dongsheng had to complete a three-week mission, they guessed that Xu Dongsheng might not come back until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I didn’t expect that Xu Dongsheng would come back just a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Yes."

The smell of the steamed buns was so tempting. The braver kids lay at the door of Xu Dongsheng's house, looking at the steamer, hoping that Xu Dongsheng would give them one or half of the steamed buns to try.

"Go away, go home and play, what are you doing standing here? Dongsheng, you're back? Your buns taste good, I can smell the fragrance before I even enter the yard."

Master Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice went back to the house. At this time, Sha Zhu also came out from the middle courtyard. Looking at the children gathered at the door of Xu Dongsheng's house, Sha Zhu drove them away, then stuck his head in and spoke to Xu Dongsheng with a smile.

"Well, Silly Zhu? Just tell me what you mean. You look scary like this."

Xu Dongsheng was sitting in the kitchen, waiting for the aroma of buns while roasting dried shrimps, preparing to pound them and eat them with wine. Unexpectedly, Sha Zhu came into the room with his head sticking out. Xu Dongsheng looked at Sha Zhu's grin with a row of big teeth showing and felt it was creepy. Although Sha Zhu would stand up if anything happened in their family, this guy never gave Xu Dongsheng many smiles and always had a stern face. What happened today?

"Nothing much. I just heard that you were back, so I came to see you and discuss something with you."

I saw Sha Zhu discussing things with him with a shy look on his face.
