Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 334: Enough Money, Everything Can Change

"Yan Jiecheng is marrying Yu Li again? Didn't you say before that you would not marry into Yan Jiecheng's stingy family?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.

"I heard from Liu Haizhong's wife in the backyard that Yan Jiecheng went to Yu Li's house to personally deliver the betrothal gift, which was one hundred yuan! Yu Li herself did not agree, but her parents agreed! In the end, Yu Li had no choice but to make Yan Jiecheng agree to separate and live alone before she agreed to get married!" Pingping said calmly.

"Oh, this deal is a loss! Teacher Yan will cry to death, right?" When Zhao Cheng heard this, he guessed that Yan Fugui would be very angry.

"Brother Cheng, you didn't see it! Yan Fugui had a sad face throughout Yan Jiecheng's wedding. How could he be angry? He was extremely angry!" Zhou Lili said with a smile.

Zhao Cheng also felt that this stingy old Yan was getting more and more cunning as he grew older! He wasn't this stingy before? Why did he become like this now?

"If you ask me, Yu Li shouldn't have married Yan Jiecheng at all. Considering the family tradition of the Yan family, how much better can Yan Jiecheng be? He's still just as stingy. Just wait and see, in the end, the couple will suffer." Pingping's face was also full of emotion.

"Is there nothing else besides this? Is it so quiet in the middle courtyard and backyard?" Why did Zhao Cheng feel that this courtyard he came to was so harmonious? Could it be that the title of "master in charge" really had such great power without it?

"There's nothing else going on, right? Haven't you heard what happened in the backyard of the Central Courtyard? Liu Haizhong beats the children as usual every day when he gets home. The wife of Xu Damao's family has become fatter because of the care she received from Xu Damao's mother, just like the empress dowager. There's nothing going on with the He family in the Central Courtyard, except that Qin Huairu washes clothes in the laundry pool every day. Wang Yuzhi has been taking care of her pregnancy recently, so there's nothing going on either," said Zhou Lili.

Zhao Cheng found that he had done a pretty good job of renovating the compound. He also knew that the reason so many issues arose, whether in the TV series or the fan fiction, was mainly due to Yi Zhonghai's selfish motives. As the head of the compound, he wanted to assert his authority by calling a general meeting for the entire compound, magnifying minor matters and making them even bigger. Finally, the three elders would judge the situation. This was pure fussing.

Zhao Cheng strangled the ambitions of people like Yi Zhonghai at the source, making the compound much more peaceful. Although the street office might have had some hard work, the compound was relatively peaceful.

The next day, after Zhao Cheng got to work, he presided over the distribution of New Year's goods. Each person received five pounds of wild boar meat, five pounds of hazelnuts, two pounds of pine nuts and five pounds of walnuts.

The quality of this New Year's goods is already considered high-end in the city of Beiping, and this does not even include some of the things distributed uniformly from above!

Director Zhao Cheng didn't get any special treatment; he took the same amount as the regular police officers. He had plenty of money to buy things, after all.

In the morning, I sorted out the backlog of documents I'd been working on for the past few days, then went to have tea and chat with Yu Zecheng. At lunchtime, I went to my own compound in Coal Factory Hutong to see how the buildings were progressing. In the afternoon, I joined a patrol. That day was over.

When Zhao Cheng got off work in the evening and went home, he went to Meichang Hutong again. He took out some of the things he had exchanged and put them on the tricycle, then went home with the things loaded on it.

When Zhao Cheng entered the room, he saw Yu Li just walking out of the room.

Zhao Cheng's aesthetic taste didn't quite match Yu Li's. She had double eyelids and an oval face. Zhao Cheng preferred slightly round faces, the kind that symbolized peace and prosperity.

So Zhao Cheng just took a look, nodded, and went home.

Yu Li couldn't help but fall into deep thought as she looked at Zhao Cheng's back. She had inquired about it. Although Zhao Cheng looked young, he was already thirty years old. Not counting the one in his wife's belly, he already had seven children.

Moreover, Yu Li also knew that Zhao Cheng had a younger sister-in-law who was prettier than herself.

Yu Li didn't know whether she was a little curious about Zhao Cheng or felt that fate was unfair to her.

Why can't I find a good man like Zhao Cheng? Especially after marrying Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiecheng is not handsome, has a bad body, is not good at work, and is not good at anything. Compared with him, I feel like I married a dispensable person.

Yu Li took a deep breath to relieve her depressed mood. If her parents hadn't seen Yan Jiecheng giving her a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift, how could she have married such a loser.

They had agreed before they got married that they would live separately, but unfortunately the family was divided. Yan Jiecheng actually used the excuse that they were both busy and went to have dinner with them every day. It was only after eating at Yan's house that Yu Li finally understood what it meant to share pickles by the root. It was fair, but a bit too stingy, wasn't it?

After Zhao Cheng returned to the house, he opened the cellar and put the things he had brought back into the cellar. Seeing that there was still a lot of food in the cellar, Zhao Cheng felt relieved. With so many people in their family to feed, they couldn't afford to run out of food. They couldn't let the children starve, right?

"Brother Cheng, have you brought back all the things?" Pingping walked over with her belly bulging and said to Zhao Cheng.

"Well, I brought it back. Let Lili cook whatever you want to eat. I also put some wild boar meat in the small warehouse outside. It's icy and snowy outside, so it won't go bad for a while." Zhao Cheng said while supporting Pingping.

"Brother Cheng, is there any news about Sister Dan recently? I don't know if she is used to staying over there." Pingping suddenly said.

"Why are you suddenly asking about her? Do you still miss her?" Zhao Cheng looked at Pingping with curiosity.

"I don't think about her, I think about the baby in her belly! After all, I am the child's mother, can't I think about it?" Pingping's look of "you are ignorant" made Zhao Cheng not know how to respond.

"By the way, has Zhou Lili found a new boyfriend recently? I feel like she is very happy every day now?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"It seems so. I heard that he is a new staff member of our street office. He has a daughter and just came to Beijing to work. Zhou Lili met him on the way back from buying groceries. He lives in the alley next to us, but I didn't ask which courtyard it was!" Pingping said.

"That's good. It would be better to let her find a home as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would not be easy for her to live with Qiuhong on her own. Fortunately, the mother and daughter don't have to spend money on their meals, otherwise it would be even more difficult!" said Zhao Cheng.

"Isn't it all your fault? If you had taken Zhou Lili as your mistress, there wouldn't have been so many problems." Pingping gave her man a cold look.

"I don't want someone like her. She is too ambitious and has a strong desire for control. She is not suitable for a family like ours. We have too many secrets in our family!" said Zhao Cheng.

Pingping also knew what Zhao Cheng meant. Zhao Cheng was afraid that Zhou Lili would have inappropriate thoughts, but Pingping still wanted to find a younger one for Zhao Cheng. After all, both of them were pregnant now, and one of them was still far away, right?
