Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

Looking at the burly father and son of the He family, Yan Bugui also came to his senses a little. Now he was alone and could not beat these two chefs.

"Okay, let's go back to the yard and talk."

The group walked towards the courtyard, leaving everyone else disappointed because they didn't even finish watching the entire show.

Jiang Fan grabbed Xu Damao and whispered in his ear, "Spread the word, Sha Zhu ruthlessly destroyed Yan Bugui."

Xu Damao was immediately amused. "I see. Sha Zhu destroyed Yan Bugui."

Inside the courtyard, there was another long-awaited general meeting of the entire courtyard.

It seems like a year has passed since we last had such a meeting.

As the victim, Yan Bugui was the first to cry out, "My dear neighbors, everyone knows that I, Yan Bugui, am a scholar. When I have nothing to do, I like to plant flowers and fish. This doesn't affect your life, right?"

"No impact." Everyone said in unison. For the sake of the show, everyone was willing to give Yan Bugui some face.

"But today, a flower I raised was picked by that bastard Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu! Do you know what you did?"

Sha Zhu was speechless. "I know. I just plucked a flower from you. What's the big deal? I can just compensate you. Why are you so excited? It's as if I plucked your life instead of a flower."

Others also felt that Yan Bugui was making a big deal out of nothing. It was just a flower, not something expensive.

"Compensation? Okay, twenty dollars! Give it to me!" Yan Bugui stretched out his hand to ask for compensation.

Sha Zhu was shocked. "Twenty yuan? Are you trying to rob me? It's just a flower, twenty cents is too much."

"Who's robbing me? This flower is only sold for twenty yuan in the market!"

The others were also shocked by the price Yan Bugui quoted. How could a flower be so expensive? It was almost as much as their monthly salary.

"Yan Bugui, even if you're greedy, this isn't the way to do it. This price is enough to buy your life."

"Exactly, twenty yuan for a flower. Yan Bugui, you've lost your mind, haven't you?"

"Twenty yuan can buy enough meat to make you die, who would buy a flower?"

Even Xu Damao was a little surprised. "Is that flower really worth twenty yuan?"

"It probably isn't worth it, but it should be no problem to sell it for around ten yuan." Lou Xiao'e said casually. She had some knowledge about these things.

Xu Damao was amazed and said, "It's really worth so much money. I'll grow two pots tomorrow."

Seeing that everyone agreed with him, Sha Zhu instantly became arrogant. "Yan Laoxi, listen to what everyone is saying. How can your tattered flower be worth twenty yuan? Believe it or not, I'm going to sue you for extortion."

Yan Bugui shouted angrily, "What do you know? Do you know what kind of flower that is? It's a Clivia, a top-grade one at that. It would cost at least ten yuan in the market!"

Not to mention that once its seeds mature, I can plant several more! "It's a bargain for Sha Zhu to pay him twenty yuan."

The others all showed disbelief on their faces; they still didn't believe that there were such expensive flowers.

"Yan Laoxi, stop talking nonsense here. You said that flower is twenty yuan, so it is twenty yuan. Who can prove it? I said it is worthless!"

Xu Damao immediately jumped out, "I can prove it!"

Chapter 647: Growing Flowers

Xu Damao jumped out, looking excited. This was a rare opportunity for him to target Sha Zhu again.

"I can prove what kind of orchid is this, Yan Laoxi?"

"Clivia."

"Yes, Clivia, it's totally worth the price." Xu Damao came to Sha Zhu, shaking his head.

Sha Zhu said angrily, "Your uncle, Xu Damao, how dare you say that? You don't even know what that flower is! And you still have the nerve to stand up like that."

It’s not that he can’t come up with twenty yuan, but he feels that if he has to pay twenty yuan for a flower, he will be taken advantage of.

"I don't know her, but someone does. Jiang Fan, do you think the flower is worth the price?"

Jiang Fan also walked over after hearing this. "Although it sounds outrageous, if that Clivia is sold, it can really fetch around ten yuan. Add in the seeds and other things later, and Old Man Yan wants twenty yuan for it, which is really not expensive."

Xu Damao added, "Exactly. And that doesn't even include Yan Laoxi's labor costs. He takes care of that flower meticulously all day long, even using his excrement as fertilizer. Isn't that worth money?"

Everyone thought to themselves, "It's really not worth the money." But they were also shocked by the price of the flower. They didn't expect that a flower could be worth so much money.

Sha Zhu's face also darkened. He still needed to think about what Xu Damao said, but he could believe about 70% of what Jiang Fan said. He had no reason to deceive himself on this matter.

"He Daqing, you've seen the world before, and you should know that rich people used to spend several dollars on a pot of flowers, not to mention this ten yuan one."

Yan Bugui said to He Daqing, the latter is more knowledgeable than that guy Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu also turned his head to look at his biological father, but got an answer that broke his heart.

“Some flowers and plants are really worth the price.”

He Daqing had no choice. Although Jiang Fan did not get along with the people in the hospital, he was the most promising one in the hospital. Basically, no matter how unpleasant his words were, the people in the hospital would think about them carefully.

Sha Zhu was at a loss. Since his father had said so, he could only reluctantly take twenty yuan from home and give it to Yan Bugui.

Now, after double authentication, everyone saw that there was something wrong with the flowerpot in Yan Bugui's hand.

This pot of flowers can be sold for ten yuan. If you plant a hundred or eighty pots, you will make a fortune. Everyone's thoughts immediately started to arise.

Jiang Fan knew what they were thinking at a glance, "Yan Laoxi, what are you planting so many flowers for?"

"Of course... to give it to someone."

Yan Bugui swallowed the word "sell" in time. He was so immersed in the joy of making money that he didn't even notice the fiery gazes of the people around him.

"Give it away? This doesn't suit your style, Mr. Yan. Shouldn't you sell it?" Xu Damao immediately cooperated.

Yan Bugui also understood that this meant that the ugly things had to be said in advance.

If these neighbors spent money to buy pots and seeds, but didn't take good care of them and the flowers didn't bloom, or if they bloomed but weren't sold at a good price, we might have to make trouble for them again.

If we make the pros and cons clear now, it will be easier to deal with them when they come to cause trouble.

"Xu Damao, don't say that. This business is illegal. I don't do that kind of thing. I grow flowers purely to cultivate my sentiments. It's not tainted with the smell of money."

Jiang Fan and Xu Damao rolled their eyes at the same time. How could he be allowed to pretend?

But the two of them still cooperated and said, "Indeed, growing flowers is for a better life, not for selling them for money. We can't do that."

After saying this, Jiang Fan turned around and went home without caring whether others had heard him or not.

Xu Damao pestered Yan Bugui, "Yan Laoxi, I helped you so much today, why don't you show some appreciation?"

In the end, with Yan Bugui looking extremely pained, Xu Damao stole the flower seeds and a book on flower-growing from him.

"Ezi, look at these seeds and the experience. Let's grow some flowers at home for fun." Xu Damao ran to Lou Xiaoe and showed his courtesy.

"Why should I fiddle with these things? I have to take care of my children on weekdays." Lou Xiao'e really wanted to plant some crops, but she suppressed the idea when she thought of her children.

"I plant flowers because I need to take care of the children. I work on weekdays and am not at home every day. You are alone at home taking care of two children, and life is boring. Planting flowers can cultivate your sentiments."

Lou Xiao'e worriedly asked, "What if it dies?"

"That means these flowers are not blessed enough to grow in our blessed land."

It is said that Xu Damao is good at coaxing girls. With just a few words, Lou Xiaoe was so happy that she was beyond words.

Xu Xiao beside him also joined in the conversation, "Yes, no blessing."

Feeling encouraged by her husband and son, Lou Xiaoe also made a decision that she would grow flowers well.

"Oh, go get another piece of paper. I'll give half of the seeds to Auntie. Also, get a notebook and I'll copy down my thoughts and send that over.

I have to say, Yan Laoxi is quite good at growing flowers."

At the He family, Sha Zhu couldn't help but ask He Daqing, "Dad, is that old flower of Yan Laoxi really worth twenty yuan?"

He Daqing looked up at him and said, "It was hard to say before, but now it's really worth it."

Sha Zhu was stunned and realized that he was at a disadvantage.

"Forget it, why think so much? You can still go and get the money back. If you go, Yan Bugui will dare to report it to the police. You are stealing without asking, which will cause more trouble. Go cook, the rain will be back soon."

"I was just too lazy. I had nothing better to do than to pick that flower." Sha Zhu slapped his hand regretfully. It cost twenty yuan. Even if his family had money, they couldn't possibly buy a single flower.

He Yushui came back soon and was very angry after hearing about this.

"What the hell? Twenty yuan for a flower, why doesn't Yan Laoxi just go and rob people?"

He Daqing didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How are you and that police officer doing?"

"Dad, stop calling him 'policeman' all the time. He has a name, Wu Junnan." He Yushui argued, determined to correct He Daqing's way of addressing her boyfriend.

He Daqing was also angry. "I'm happy to call your father the local police. He's about to kidnap my daughter, and he didn't even come to my house to check. He's so rude. I'm glad I didn't hit him."

"He was going to come, but they had something big going on at the institute, so he didn't have time to come."

"Hmph, big deal? What big deal can be compared to having dinner at your boyfriend's house? It'll take him a long time, can't he spare an hour or two? How can such a big police station not be run without him?"

He Daqing was really angry and even more dissatisfied with Wu Junnan. Before they even got married, He Yushui had been tricked into arguing with him and turning her elbow outward. If they got married, would she still have this family in her heart?

"You are unreasonable. I won't talk to you anymore!"

He Yushui ran back to her room angrily and slammed the door very hard.

Chapter 648: Visit on Sunday

"I'm unreasonable? She said I'm unreasonable!" He Daqing laughed angrily, "Silly Zhu, did you hear what she just said? She dared to go against me for a man she'd only known for less than half a year!"

Sha Zhu was also angry. Since He Yushui dared to speak to He Daqing like that, he dared to treat him like that.

"When that local police officer comes, I'm going to teach him a lesson."

The two of them originally had no objection to Wu Junnan. After all, he had a formal job and his family conditions were acceptable.

But I just can't stand what He Yushui said and did.

The cabbages from their own garden were rushed into the mouths of other people's pigs, and after that, they asked the two cabbage growers to lift the pig's head and help chew it.

No one can bear this.

If this had happened in the past, He Daqing would have secretly drowned the man in the river.

He Yushui was very sad. She didn't understand why her father and brother didn't support her love.

It was not easy for her to find someone she liked, and it was not easy for others to like her too.

She found Yang Ergou and confided her inner pain to him.

Yang Ergou held Fugui in his arms and listened quietly to He Yushui's words, nodding from time to time, but his heart was calm.

He no longer cares about He Yushui and only wants to take good care of Fugui and Xiu, who are the intangible cultural heritage left to him by his sister.

He Yushui felt a sense of loss when she saw Yang Ergou ignored her. She said angrily, "You are also in the same group with them. You can't stand me getting along well!"

Yang Ergou was still the same, coaxing Fugui.

He Yushui felt that she had brought trouble upon herself, so she stomped her feet and went back into the house crying.

Over the next few days, many people in the courtyard flocked to Yan Bugui's house, asking Aunt Yang what flowers were valuable, how to grow them, and who to sell them to.

Aunt Yang followed Yan Bugui's instructions and said she didn't know, wasn't clear, and didn't understand. She said her family never did that kind of business, and you shouldn't do it either, as it's illegal.

This argument may discourage some people, but there are always some people who hold out hope. What if they can succeed too?

So in the past few days, several families bought flower pots and started growing flowers from seeds.

The weekend is here in a blink of an eye.

Thinking of Liu Ruyan coming home to discuss marriage today, Sha Zhu was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. Even when He Zhaodi called him dad this morning, he didn't react at all.

Yang Ergou felt a little disappointed when he saw this, but he still said nothing.

Sha Zhu rode away on his bicycle, looking beaming and proud.

Xu Damao couldn't stand his behavior. "I really don't know why he is so proud of remarrying? As if this is a big deal."

Jiang Fan held his son in his arms and said without looking up, "Aren't you going shopping with your sister-in-law? Why aren't you going?"

“I was originally going to go, but just now I heard that Sha Zhu was going to bring back his blind date, so I didn’t want to go anymore.

We can go shopping anytime. I want to see who Shazhu's blind date is."

Xu Damao said this with gritted teeth, which showed that he was very dissatisfied with Sha Zhu.
