Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

How much will it cost to build this house?

Yang Lei built a two-story building and dug a basement underneath.

We hired masons and carpenters, and they were busy all day long.

Yang Lei became a hands-off boss. The construction of the house had started for several days, but he didn't go back to take a look.

"Yang Lei is back? You haven't shown up in two days."

As soon as Yang Lei stepped into the front yard, the gate god Yan Bugui came to greet him.

"Hey, Uncle Three, you even built a temporary hut here."

As soon as Yang Lei entered the front yard, he saw Yan Bugui building a small house on the open space next to his house.

Yang Lei sighed: "Uncle Yan, there's nothing we can do about it.

"Hasn't the house you lent to Jie Cheng and Yu Li been returned to you? They can't live separately, so I built a temporary shed on the edge of the yard for them to stay in for now."

Yan Bugui smiled like a flower, and immediately started working on it. He built a small shed at the edge of the yard.

He thought about it for a long time before deciding to do this.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai was still living in the courtyard, and Yan Bugui told him about this.

As a result, he was scolded by Yi Zhonghai and rejected.

Now that Yi Zhonghai is gone, Yan Bugui took the opportunity to build a temporary building next to the yard.

"I don't want to live in that shabby shed." Yu Li muttered softly.

"Uncle San, you are really smart. If everyone in our courtyard is as smart as you, there will be no problem living with more than a hundred or eighty people." Yang Lei said with a smile, but there was a bit of sarcasm in his words.

How could Yan Bugui not hear it?

"Hey, Yang Lei, there's nothing we can do about it. If my family were as rich as yours, we would have torn down the house and rebuilt it a long time ago!"

Yang Lei was also choked: "Uncle, you are awesome. I am convinced."

After hearing that, Yang Lei was not angry. Instead, he chuckled and pushed the cart to the back.

"Yang Lei, I want to talk to you about something later."

Yan Bugui started to make some calculations in his mind.

He knew that Yang Lei was now the second-in-command of the Personnel Department of the Red Star Steel Mill, so he was thinking about transferring his eldest son Yan Jiecheng from the small street factory to the Red Star Steel Mill.

The conditions at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill were much better than those of the small factories on the street, just like the difference between those large state-owned enterprises and those small workshops that could not pay wages in the future.

Yan Bugui naturally wanted his son to enjoy a good life at the Red Star Steel Mill.

After arguing with Yang Lei for a few words, Yan Bugui felt a little uneasy.

"Oh, what am I doing? I need to ask him for help later, how should I start?"

Yan Bugui returned to the house and saw Yu Li sitting on a small stool, so he hurried over to her.

"Yu Li, I heard you and Yang Lei have a good relationship in the cafeteria? Is that true?"

Yu Li's mind and eyes were all on Yang Lei. When asked this question, she thought her little thoughts had been seen through.

"? Yes, Yang Lei... Actually, there's nothing between him and me..."

Yu Li was distracted and was frightened to death by Yan Bugui's question.

When Yan Bugui heard this, he frowned.

"Yu Li, what's wrong with you? Why are you so distant from Yang Lei? You are also a member of our Yan family now. Our Yan family and Yang Lei have always had a good relationship."

"Yang Lei is now the deputy director of the personnel department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. If you want to move up, you have to have a good relationship with him."

Yu Li understood what Yan Bugui meant as soon as she heard it.

He wanted to curry favor with Yang Lei and even scolded him just now.

Now that he needs help from others, he probably regrets it.

Yu Li really looked down on the Yan family.

"Yu Li, it's not a big deal for Jie Cheng to stay in the street factory.

I've already spoken to Director Wang from the Subdistrict Office, and she said that as long as the Red Star Steel Mill is willing to release the employee, she can immediately arrange for the transfer of employment relations."

"Yu Li, please take the trouble to go to the backyard to find Yang Lei and say a few nice words to him."

What Yan Bugui said actually meant that he wanted his daughter-in-law Yu Li to go to the backyard to ask Yang Lei for help.

"Don't go."

Yu Li actually really wanted to meet Yang Lei.

But just now on the way home, Yan Jiecheng kept nagging, which made her very unhappy.

"Yu Li, your dad asked you to go because he was giving you face. Why don't you go to the backyard and talk to Yang Lei about your work?"

When Yan Jiecheng saw that Yu Li refused, he was so angry that he sold the light women's bicycle at home and replaced it with a 28-inch bicycle so that he could ride it more conveniently.

"I, Yu Li, don't need anyone to give me face!"

Yu Li directly retorted.

"Oh, Yu Li, you don't know what's good for you."

Yan Jiecheng was furious when he saw that Yu Li completely ignored him.

"That's enough, you can't even talk properly! Go back to the house!"

Seeing that the conversation between his eldest son and daughter-in-law was becoming increasingly tense, Yan Bugui was afraid that things might go wrong, so he hurried over to drive Yan Jiecheng back into the house and gave his wife a wink.

The third aunt understood immediately, wiped her hands, took Yu Li's hand and said:

"Yu Li, please don't misunderstand him. He's actually feeling quite aggrieved.

On your wedding day, Huairu's mother-in-law bit your neck, forcing you to stay alone in your new home."

"Now he works in a street factory, where the work is hard and the wages are low.

Xie Cheng is thinking about changing jobs. If you can get a job at the Red Star Steel Mill, it will be very beneficial for you, right? "

"Yu Li, wouldn't it be great if you two could go to and from get off work together every day?"

The third aunt's words were well-reasoned and she almost knelt down to beg Yu Li.

"Mom, I'll ask Deputy Section Chief Yang, but I can't guarantee anything."

Yu Li was not really convinced, but she was really annoyed.

Besides, the Yan family had built a simple shed in the backyard and planned to let them live in it.

Yu Li didn't want to live in such a shabby place. What she was thinking about was Qichixiang Hutong.

"Okay, okay, my good daughter-in-law Yu Li! Go quickly, the broth I stewed for you is still hot in the pot, you can drink it when you come back." The third aunt couldn't stop smiling.

"This family is really weird!" Yu Li kept muttering to herself, always feeling that something was wrong staying in the Yan family.

Yu Li just wanted to go to the backyard to find Yang Lei.

At this time, Yang Lei was pushing his bicycle across the courtyard.

Qin Huairu stood by the public faucet washing clothes with a bitter look on her face.

Her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, was beaten by Yan Bugui. After returning home, she stayed in bed all the time, and even Qin Huairu had to bring her meals to the kang.

Qin Huairu felt that her life was too miserable.

"Qin Huairu, you are still washing clothes after dark. You are really hardworking." Yang Lei passed by the central courtyard and saw Qin Huairu bending over to wash clothes, and said casually.

"Yang Lei, my life is so hard that I can't describe it. I don't want to live like this anymore. Can you take me away?" When Qin Huairu heard Yang Lei's voice and saw that there was no one in the yard, she whispered to him to elope with her.

Yang Lei smiled. He was not that kind of fool. How could he abandon his good family and elope with a widow?

Yang Lei teased Qin Huairu with a smile: "Qin Huairu, where do you want to escape to?"

"Let's go to the frontier, Yang Lei! I heard that you don't need a letter of introduction there, and you can pick cotton. There's not much work, just work from morning to night." Qin Huairu's face was full of longing.

She thought Yang Lei agreed.

"Qin Huairu, stop imagining things.

It's still dark in that place after 10pm, and you're still working until dark. You don't understand anything."

"Liar! Yang Lei, you only know how to lie. How can a place get dark after 10pm?"

How could Qin Huairu know about these situations?

"Believe it or not, Qin Huairu, I'll keep the door open for you tonight."

"I'm not going!"

Although I said this, I began to hesitate in my heart.

"Deputy Section Chief Yang, you haven't returned to the backyard yet?"

Yang Lei was joking with Qin Huairu when Yu Li came over from the front yard with a smile on her face.

"Yu Li, why are you here?" Yang Lei looked at the yard in front and saw Yu Li alone. He was a little surprised that Yan Jiecheng did not follow her.

"Deputy Section Chief Yang, have I ruined your plans?" Yu Li said with a sour tone.

Yang Lei heard it, and Qin Huairu naturally heard it too.

Qin Huairu knew that Yu Li was the accountant of the cafeteria.

She rubbed her hands on her apron.

"Hey, isn't this Accountant Yu from the cafeteria? Why are you here so late?"

Qin Huairu pretended to be confused and didn't know that Yu Li had already married Yan Jiecheng.

"Master Qin, I'm here to discuss something with Deputy Section Chief Yang. I don't need to tell you about this, right?"

Yu Li tilted her head and stared at Qin Huairu with a smile, with a hint of teasing in her words.

How could Qin Huairu not hear it?

As soon as Yang Lei saw this situation, he understood.

There is a lot of tension between these two women, Yu Li and Qin Huairu.

If they continue to fight like this, there will be a huge quarrel.

Yang Lei doesn't want his family to be in turmoil.

"Accountant Yu, didn't you say you had something to talk to me about? Come on, let's go to my room in the backyard and talk."

"Yang Lei, I agree to what you just mentioned."

Chapter 124 You Are Still Smart

Before Yu Li could say anything, Qin Huairu blinked her big eyes and secretly glanced at Yang Lei. Her expression was so sweet!

"Master Qin, what did you promise Deputy Section Chief Yang?"

Yu Li felt a sour feeling in her heart as she looked at Qin Huairu, who was emitting that seductive energy from head to toe.

Qin Huairu was born with that coquettish aura, and now she deliberately brought her coquettishness to the extreme!

Yu Li, a woman, felt that she could no longer bear it. She thought that if she were a man, she would have been completely bewitched by Qin Huairu.

"Hehe, Accountant Yu, this is a secret between us. Do you want to know about it?"

Qin Huairu managed to save the situation.

"What secrets could there be between Master Qin and Deputy Section Chief Yang? I'm not interested.

Deputy Section Chief Yang, I haven't been to your place yet, let's go back."

The tone of Yu Li's voice was as natural as if the couple were returning home.

Yang Lei also admires Yu Li and Qin Huairu, two women who are not easy to mess with.

If it were Sha Zhu, he would have been fooled by the two of them.

Of course, Sha Zhu doesn't have this opportunity.

Qin Huairu also felt very uncomfortable.
