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

"Hey, Mr. Yan, are you researching fishing rods?"

When Xu Dongsheng came out of the room, he saw Yan Bugui making a fishing rod at the door of their house. It was a simple fishing rod with a pillar and a thin line on it. The fish hook should have been made by himself using something like an embroidery needle.

When Xu Dongsheng saw Yan Bugui, he immediately thought of the first line of Shan Lei Yi. It would be good if he could light up the first line with melon seeds. As for why he chose Yan Bugui, it was because apart from the children, only Yan Bugui liked to take advantage of the little things.

"Click, click!".

He took out a few melon seeds from his pocket and cracked them while walking towards Yan Bugui. In front of Yan Bugui's house, there were many flower pots of medium size, but unfortunately they were all made of pottery. Xu Dongsheng could tell their weight and value at a glance. These pottery pots were only worth a few cents in this era, and would not be worth much even in the next century.

"Oh, it's Dongsheng, are you going to the street office?"

When Yan Bugui heard Xu Dongsheng's voice, he immediately looked up and looked at Xu Dongsheng, thinking that Xu Dongsheng was going to the street office.

"Yes, but it's still early. Teacher Yan doesn't have class today?"

If Yan Bugui wanted to go to class, he would be earlier than the people who were working in the hospital. The person who was the last to go to work in the hospital was Sha Zhu. Now Sha Zhu was a regular employee who could cook with a spoon, so Sha Zhu would basically wait until it was almost time to cook before arriving at the cafeteria on time.

"You don't have classes today. Are you going to go to the street office to sort out your work? Are you going to go like this? Aren't you going to bring anything with you?"

Yan Bugui looked at Xu Dongsheng with his hands empty, cracking melon seeds in his hands. The already dry weather made Yan Bugui's throat even more difficult to swallow. Although melon seeds were not a good thing, Yan Bugui's family was short of them. Moreover, his family lacked everything. As long as others had something, his family would always lack something, except for his children.

Besides, who is Yan Bugui? He is the kind of person who would stop even a passing manure cart to taste the saltiness of the food. How could he miss such an opportunity to take advantage?

"Yes, I don't have anything at home now, how can I carry anything with me? No, Teacher Yan, what do you mean? No way, Teacher Yan, do you want me to take things to bribe the clerks of the street office? You are promoting unhealthy trends. If others know about this, you, as a teacher, will be regarded as a saboteur with corrupt morals who misleads students. I will pretend that I didn't hear it. Please don't say such things again."

When Xu Dongsheng saw Yan Bugui's micro-expression and felt the vibration of the yellow list in his mind, he knew that his guess was correct.

"Dongsheng, you shouldn't say that. I'm here to give you advice and care about you, not to give you any bad ideas. You're taking my kindness for granted. Forget it, do whatever you want, but don't spread rumors."

When Yan Bugui heard Xu Dongsheng say this, his face changed instantly. He couldn't say such things casually. He was originally planning to give Xu Dongsheng some advice and ask Xu Dongsheng to share some of the melon seeds in his pocket with him to taste. What he said was just a simple matter of social etiquette. Whatever you bring with you is a token of your affection.

And if you bring something with you, it will be easier for you to find something to talk about. Otherwise, if you just go up to them and say you want a job, how many people will pay attention to you? Obviously, it's impossible.

As a result, Xu Dongsheng exposed the matter, and it instantly became Yan Bugui who instigated others. This scared Yan Bugui to death.

"Teacher Yan, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. This is a little secret between us. However, Teacher Yan, I may accidentally leak this secret. I want to go fishing in Shichahai and forget about this matter, but I don't even have a fishing rod. Do you think there is any way to get a fishing rod?"

Seeing Yan Bugui's anxious look, Xu Dongsheng hurriedly approached Yan Bugui mysteriously and spoke to him in a low voice. It really looked like the two of them were discussing something.

"Xu family kid, you are blackmailing me. What? Not only are you not going to honor me as your uncle and teacher, but you also want me to honor you? You are not a human being. And who do you think you are? You are just a young boy. Who would believe you if you tell others? You may not be a big person, but you have a big heart. Be careful not to fall into trouble."

Yan Bugui was not a fool. When he heard what Xu Dongsheng said, he immediately understood. This brat was not only teasing him, but also trying to blackmail him? This was simply inhumane.

"Silly Zhu, are you getting ready to go to work?"

Just when Yan Bugui finished speaking, Sha Zhu suddenly walked out from the middle courtyard. Sha Zhu was wearing green pants and a light blue shirt, with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding an empty lunch box as he walked out. He looked so impressive.

When Xu Dongsheng saw Sha Zhu going out, his face suddenly changed, and then he greeted Sha Zhu with a smile.

"Ah."

Hearing Xu Dongsheng's greeting, Sha Zhu nodded with a hint of arrogance, and without stopping, he went straight out of the courtyard gate.

"Then slow down. I want to go to the street office to ask about work. Teacher Yan is here to teach me his experience."

Xu Dongsheng looked at Sha Zhu's back and then shouted. He didn't care whether Sha Zhu heard it or not, Xu Dongsheng finished speaking. He turned around and saw Yan Bugui with an incredible look on his face.

"you you…"

Yan Bugui had lived for decades and had survived several wars. How could he not know what Xu Dongsheng meant? After he shouted this out, it would be like yellow mud stuck in his pants, and it would be shit if it wasn't shit. If Xu Dongsheng went to complain about it, it would be even harder to clear himself.

Yan Bugui didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't expect that there would be so many sinister and cunning people in this yard. The Xu Damao and his son in the backyard were the inheritance of their fathers, and Yi Zhonghai was a last resort because he had no descendants. As a result, there is now another one in the front yard? Moreover, this one is only a junior high school graduate, but this Xu Dazhuang is an honest man, but he is brute force. If someone is forced into a corner, he will use force.

But how could he have such a sinister son? You can't judge a person by his appearance. He was tricked before he even started to plan, and he had to suffer this loss. If he makes a big fuss, will he be able to explain it clearly? The probability that he can't explain it clearly is much higher.

Because even if he started to make a scene, it would not be like him as a teacher, it would be disrespectful, and his image would be ruined, which would also be a problem. And this kid looked so calm, who knows how dark he was inside.

"What's wrong? Teacher Yan, I just said that I can't forget some things if I go fishing without a fishing rod. Now you have a fishing rod. Are you going to sponsor me so that I can cultivate my sentiments and forget my troubles?"

Looking at Yan Bugui's incredible eyes, Xu Dongsheng smiled, and then looked at Yan Bugui with gratitude.

"Take it and get out of here. However, Xu family boy, I have to advise you that you should be upright and honest. Don't learn those insidious and cunning methods. Otherwise, it will hurt others and yourself in the end."

Although he could be said to have watched Xu Dongsheng grow up, but at this moment, Yan Bugui admitted that he had misjudged him. Xu Dongsheng's situation was so beyond his preconceived impression that he could not figure out Xu Dongsheng's situation for a moment. He looked at the fishing rod in his hand. Although this thing was his treasure, if Xu Dongsheng started shouting everywhere, he would be in trouble.

If he lost this treasure, he could get another one. After all, except for the fish hook, the other things on the fishing rod were nothing. But if Xu Dongsheng told everyone about it, his reputation would be a small matter. If he was dragged to be criticized, he would lose his job.

So Yan Bugui reluctantly threw the fishing rod to Xu Dongsheng, and then admonished Xu Dongsheng with a stern face.

"Thank you so much, Teacher Yan. You are such a good teacher. You are a role model and you love your students. Your fishing rod is really great. I almost forget all my worries when I hold it in my hand. Then, Teacher Yan, I will leave first."

Xu Dongsheng didn't care about Yan Bugui's words. He looked at him with gratitude, then took the fishing rod and went towards the gate.

Originally, Xu Dongsheng was only planning to stop causing trouble after lighting up the first line, but Xu Dongsheng was ready to eliminate the potential threat of Yan Bugui while the situation was still normal.

Because Xu Dongsheng knew from reading novels and watching movies in his previous life that Yan Bugui was an unreliable fence-sitter, who never said anything and never did anything to the extreme, and tried not to offend anyone. He would help you if you gave him some benefits, and try to get close to you when he had nothing to do. He would do whatever he could to get you some benefits, and if he couldn't, he would not lose anything. Anyway, he would try his best to see if there was any result.

Although he was only calculating for a small profit, it just so happened that Xu Dongsheng hated this kind of flies. If he wanted to help, he would help, but it was wrong for you to calculate against me.

Therefore, Xu Dongsheng's recent actions have at least two benefits. One is to let Yan Bugui know that he, Xu Dongsheng, is a cultured gangster who is insidious and cunning and cannot be easily calculated. This will reduce some troubles when there is a disaster in the future.

Another thing is that if even Yan Bugui didn't dare to plot against him, then other people would definitely have to stay away from him. It was like a warning to others. And he got a fishing rod for free.
