Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

But in the end, what they earned was either spent or was given up in restaurants.

They added tables and chairs, renovated and painted the place, and were determined to raise the prices of the vegetables to make a big profit.

The news that Shenzhen was about to open up caused ticket prices to skyrocket and supplies to become scarce.

Those who used to provide tickets and vegetables have all quit.

Not only are they raising prices, but they're also breaking their promise to pay on credit later.

Payment must be made on the same day, with cash and goods exchanged simultaneously.

If you don't see the money, don't say anything else, just get out of here.

Once you see the money, anything goes. You're my boss, so go ahead and shout it from ear to ear.

This really worried Yan Jiecheng and Bang Geng. What should they do?

The two of them had a few drinks and discussed it.

Alright, time to go home!

When things get tough, home is still the most reliable place.

Well, after much persuasion, the money was finally in hand.

Qin Huairu gave him five hundred yuan at once, giving him most of her savings.

Xiao Dang's dowry and Huaihua's college money cannot be touched; those are their savings.

Qin Huairu would never touch anything unless it was a matter of life and death.

She gave her son 500 yuan, and that was enough to keep her money in hand.

There's plenty to eat and drink, it's just that the savings don't seem that substantial, which makes one feel more at ease.

But when they thought about how the two of them had actually made money over the years, at least enough to support themselves, they realized that they had managed to do so.

Qin Huairu decided to help him out; after all, he was her own son. "Bang Geng, I can give you the money."

"But let's make it clear first, once we've finished this initial setup, you'd better get the wedding done quickly."

Qin Huairu was getting a little anxious. She was almost thirty and hadn't taken any action at all.

The Jia family is counting on you to carry on the family line and continue their lineage!

You're not in a hurry, but I'm in a hurry to give the Jia family an explanation.

Once he gets married, he can live a stable life.

Qin Huairu's lifelong wishes and pressures were mostly fulfilled.

"Hey, Mom, I got it." After receiving the money, Banggeng called "Mom" with even more affection.

After carefully tucking the money into his pocket, Banggeng left the house with Qin Huairu's instructions.

When they arrived at the front yard and didn't see anyone who had come to greet them, they were about to call out when they heard someone outside the door call out, "Bang Geng, stop shouting here."

Looking outside, it was indeed Yan Jiecheng.

"Uncle Jiecheng, what are you doing squatting here!" Banggeng sat down next to him and asked, "Didn't you get any money?"

Yan Jiecheng shook his head and said, "It's going to work."

"Then why are you like this?" He looked disheveled and didn't seem happy at all.

"Three percent interest, a father offering that to his son, isn't that generous?" Yan Jiecheng's face was full of sarcasm.

Old Man Yan has lived his life to the end.

"And you?" After asking about himself, Yan Jiecheng wanted to know how much money he had asked his family for and what the conditions were.

If it were like me, I would feel better.

"My mom gave me five hundred yuan, it's all here." Jia Geng took out the money and spread it out in front of him.

“My mom told me to work hard. She’s not counting on me to get a factory job anymore. As long as I can support myself, that’s fine.”

Yan Jiecheng shuddered, his whole body going numb instantly.

grass.

They gave him 500 yuan without any conditions, just hoping he would work hard.

Look at how well that mother does, and then look at the three hundred yuan in my hand, it suddenly doesn't seem so appealing anymore.

What the hell have I done to deserve this?

With the money, the two resumed their business.

Banggeng also went home to live, and he was busy from early morning to late at night.

Look at how he smiles every day; his back teeth are showing gaps.

This is going to be a huge money-maker.

The purchase quota for Shenzhen was also determined amidst the commotion.

For the first time, grain coupons were withdrawn from the domestic market, causing widespread anxiety among workers and farmers.

Everyone was used to the days of eating from the same pot, and suddenly no one was in charge anymore; they were left to their own devices.

Those with wild hearts and a knack for causing trouble are truly happy.

But for most people, it sends shivers down their spine; they're terrified!

The wound is still hurting, what if another egg comes out?

On the first day the restrictions were lifted, grain and oil shops and stores deep underground, wherever food could be bought, were open.

All the goods were looted by the local people, and all the supplies were sold out.

No matter what happens next, let's get the grain home first.

Even if something really goes wrong, as long as we have food in our hands, we won't go hungry.

Being able to eat your fill is the greatest blessing.

Chapter 344 Arrested, Business Collapses

When restrictions on deep-sea areas were lifted that month, panic buying lasted for a week and caused quite a stir.

If a grain store runs out of stock, the price surges again after the previous trend of price stabilization.

But after this week, everyone realized something was wrong.

Grain stores and shops were constantly being sold out, but new grain would arrive the very next day.

They said they were just barely holding on for a day or two.

This just doesn't make sense, and the anxiety in my heart gradually subsided.

The higher-ups have already said that they will definitely guarantee the supply of food, and this relaxation of restrictions was prepared in advance.

We must trust the country and the organization; the higher-ups will not let the people go hungry.

Various forms of propaganda, coupled with the facts laid bare before us.

Under guidance, the controversy gradually subsided.

However, the problems brought about by this turmoil are only now being addressed by various localities.

In particular, in Beijing, many markets, black markets, and privately run restaurants and stalls were investigated and shut down.

"What? Price gouging, affecting stability?" Upon hearing the man in the rain's words, Qin Huai felt a wave of dizziness.

thump~

"Sister Qin, Sister Qin, don't get agitated, let's sit down and talk slowly."

The man in the rain helped Qin Huairu sit down, and he was also in a difficult position.

This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one.

He was also startled when he heard the news.

How could they have chosen such a charge? There's so much room for interpretation.

If you go down there, you'll just get a fine; if you go up there, you'll be in serious trouble.

However, the things that the stick-like creature got involved in were indeed quite troublesome.

The key point is that after they gave the money to the person, he actually used it to hoard grain and ration coupons.

No matter how you explain it, the facts are the facts.

Because of rampant hoarding, the prices of various commodities in free circulation skyrocketed, causing widespread panic among the people.

Even though the restrictions were lifted only in Shenzhen, the vegetable markets in Beijing were still overwhelmed with panic buying.

Even if such a fact was unintentional, the impact has already occurred, so how should it be accounted for?

This is detrimental to the gradually expanding 'opening-up' policy and has some impact on the overall situation.

If someone really keeps pressing the issue, then things will get really difficult.

"What should I do? What should I do?" After the initial excitement, Qin Huairu was completely at a loss.

No, a good person has to save Banggeng, we need to find someone...

master!

The first person Qin Huairu thought of was his own master, Yang Jianguo.

When something happens and I need to ask for help, the first person who pops into my mind is definitely the most successful person I know.

If Qin Huai knew any of these people, who could be more capable than Yang Jianguo?

"Sister Qin, this matter will be much simpler as long as no one keeps harping on Jia Geng."

"If you can find someone to put in a good word for you, don't focus your attention on him, I'll take care of the rest."

The man in the rain knew that Jia Geng's fate now depended on whether he could reduce the amount of attention he received.

If someone starts watching him, he'll be in big trouble.

If it were handled normally, he would be detained for a few days, pay some money, and then be released.

"I'm looking for someone, I'll go find someone right now," Qin Huairu said as she ran outside.

He rushed to Yang Jianguo's door in one breath, about to push it open, but then pulled his hand back.

Calm down, calm down.

After tidying up her messy hair and straightening her clothes, Qin Huairu asked, "Master, are you home, Master's wife?"

The two people who were deeply in love inside the house suddenly broke up, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Yingzi invited Qin Huairu to sit down at the table, poured her some tea, and patted her back reassuringly, saying, "Huairu, don't worry."

"Master's wife, this is the only male heir in the family. He is the root of the Jia family. If something really happens to him..."

If something really happens to Bang Geng, what was the point of all the suffering she endured raising her child all these years alone?

Yingzi understood this principle, and so did Yang Jianguo.

They could find fault with Qin the Widow in every way imaginable.

But considering her status as Jia Dongxu's wife, she is a member of the Jia family.

She did a flawless job; no one could have done it better.

Jia Dongxu is gone, but his wife single-handedly holds the family together.

They took care of his elderly mother and raised his children.

They arranged jobs for everyone and helped them accumulate a considerable fortune.

Based on this alone, it's fair to say that Jia Dongxu is a lucky man.

As for Granny Jia's death, it was her own fault.

It was a tragedy and an accident of the times, so it's really not her fault.

As a daughter-in-law of the Jia family, Qin Huairu has done a good job.

Her greatest comfort came from this: she had done right by her man and by the ancestors of the Jia family.
