Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Just when Qin Huairu, the third uncle, and the third aunt were having a heated argument, Yan Jiefang came back.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt the tense atmosphere in the room. When he understood what happened, he suddenly felt worried in his heart. He knew Jia Zhang's temper. If the third uncle didn't agree, she might really not agree.

Will marry Xiaodang to him.

Yan Jiefang hurriedly walked to the third uncle and said eagerly: "Third uncle, just agree. I know this request is a bit excessive, but I really want to marry Xiaodang. Let's just think it's for my and Xiaodang's happiness.

, just be accommodating."

The third uncle frowned and said hesitantly: "This is not a matter of accommodating or not, this is a rule. What does it sound like when the woman's family is rushing to hold a wedding banquet?"

Yan Jiefang continued to persuade: "Third uncle, I know you want to follow the rules. But the situation is special now. It would be a pity if my marriage with Xiaodang was ruined because of this matter. We can discuss it and let the woman's family

I will also contribute some effort, but the wedding banquet will still be mainly hosted by our groom’s family, do you think this will work?”

The third aunt on the side also said: "Old man, liberation is reasonable. How about we agree to it and don't delay the children's happiness because of this matter."

The third uncle was silent for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say. But the woman's family can't go too far."

Yan Jiefang told Qin Huairu about the third uncle's thoughts, and Qin Huairu frowned: "Yan Jiefang, you are good at making peace with Xini, but the wedding banquet will be held at our house, which cannot be changed!"

Yan Jiefang's plan was immediately shattered.

Yes, he did plan to fool Qin Huairu, plan to give Qin Huairu some benefits, and send her away, but now Qin Huairu found out.

"Yan Jiefang, when I, Qin Huairu, married into this compound, you couldn't walk yet, so don't think about playing tricks in front of me. You should go back immediately and discuss it with the third uncle and the third aunt.

Let me know after you have discussed it."

Qin Huairu issued an ultimatum to Yan Jiefang.

Yan Jiefang returned home helplessly, looked at the third uncle and the third aunt with a sad face, and said: "Third uncle, third aunt, I really have no choice. Qin Huairu was very determined and insisted on holding the wedding banquet at their home.

, which cannot be changed.

I don’t want things to turn out like this, but I really have no choice.”

When the third uncle heard this, he stamped his feet angrily, "Why is Qin Huairu so unreasonable? How can there be any reason to hold this wedding banquet at the woman's house?"

The third aunt also sighed, "What should we do?"

Yan Jiefang gritted his teeth and said: "Third uncle, third aunt, if you still don't agree, then there's nothing I can do. I can only threaten you. If you don't agree to hold the wedding banquet at Qin Huairu's house, I'll get married."

We will move out after we get married."

When the third uncle and the third aunt heard this, they were stunned.

They didn't expect Yan Jiefang to say that. The third uncle frowned and said, "Jiefang, you can't be so impulsive. Can't we discuss this matter carefully?"

Yan Jiefang said resolutely: "There is nothing to discuss. I have tried very hard to coordinate, but Qin Huairu won't let go, so I have nothing to do. If you don't agree, I will have no choice but to move out.

"

The third uncle and the third aunt looked at each other, lost in thought.

They know that Yan Jiefang's temper is very difficult to change once he decides something.

Moreover, they don't want Yan Jiefang to move out, after all, he is the mainstay of the family.

The most important thing is that Yan Jiefang is now a formal worker in the factory, with a monthly salary of fifty or sixty yuan.

Yan Jiefang pays 20 yuan to his family every month.

That's twenty yuan.

No family can afford that much money.

The third uncle can earn at least ten yuan from Yan Jiefang every month. There is no need to force Yan Jiefang out because of this matter.

After a while, the third uncle sighed and said: "Yan Jiefang, for your sake, our family agreed to this matter. You tell Qin Huairu that the wedding banquet of our family will be arranged by her family.

"

Yan Jiefang was overjoyed and ran out to tell Qin Huairu.

"Liberation, you have done a good job, just wait until you get married."

Qin Huairu patted Yan Jiefang's shoulder with appreciation, turned around and went home, telling Jia Zhang about the incident.

When Mrs. Jia Zhang learned that her family would host the wedding banquet, her face flushed with excitement. She immediately started going door to door to inform the residents in the compound.

Arriving at the first house, Mrs. Jia Zhang said with a beaming face: "Hey, come to our house for the wedding banquet on the weekend. Yan Jiefang and Xiaodang are getting married. It's a lively wedding. Remember to bring a five-dollar gift."

When Lao Zhang heard this, he frowned and said, "Jia Zhang, five yuan is too much. How can you ask for so much gift money?"

Jia Zhang's eyes widened immediately and said: "Five yuan is still more? This is a big happy event, why can't you be more generous? That young man Yan Jiefang is such a nice guy. Xiaodang will definitely live a good life with him in the future. You guys

If you come to the wedding banquet, you should pay some gifts."

Lao Zhangtou is a lonely old man, living on a meager monthly pension. His health is not very good. He often needs to buy medicine, and his life is tight. He said to Jia Zhang, "Mrs. Jia Zhang, you

This five-dollar gift is really too much. I am a lonely old man with only a small pension and I have to buy medicine and see a doctor. How can I have so much spare money?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted and said, "Don't be so stingy. We are all neighbors, so we can't bear to give up this little money. If you don't come, don't expect our family to help you if anything happens in the future."

Although Lao Zhangtou was dissatisfied, he didn't want to get too serious with Jia Zhang, so he could only say: "Okay, okay, let's try to find a way."

Mrs. Jia and Zhang came to Sister-in-law Li's house again. When she said the same thing, Mrs. Li also expressed that she disliked the money. Mrs. Jia and Zhang said impatiently: "Why are you all so stingy? Five yuan can give you a good meal.

It's great to be able to feel happy. If you don't come, you won't give our family face."

Sister-in-law Li's husband was injured while working in the factory, and now he can only recuperate at home. There are still two children at home who have to go to school, and the financial pressure is very high.

She helplessly said to Mrs. Jia Zhang: "Ms. Jia Zhang, it's not that we don't want to give this gift, it's really that our family is in trouble. You

We also know that my wife is injured and cannot work, and it costs money to send our children to school. This five yuan is really not a small amount of money for us."

Mrs. Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips and said, "What's the problem? Isn't it just that I can't bear to part with that little money? Let me tell you, our family spent a lot of thought on this wedding banquet. What's wrong with you giving a gift?"

Sister-in-law Li knew that Mrs. Jia Zhang was an old and pious woman, and if she really rejected her this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang would definitely embarrass them in the future.

There was no other way, Sister-in-law Li had no choice but to agree.

At this time, Jia Zhang came to Xu Damao's house again.

Mrs. Jia Zhang came to Xu Damao's house with a smile on her face. The smile was extremely flattering, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that there was a deep calculation hidden in the smile.

She twisted her body, approached Xu Damao, and said, "Xu Damao, you are the big leader in the workshop, and your position is not ordinary.

Look at your family's life, it's prosperous and the conditions are so good.

Moreover, your daughter-in-law Qin Jingru is Qin Huairu's cousin. As we are closer to each other, you should give more gifts.

Everyone else in this compound is paying five yuan, so you have to pay ten yuan no matter what."

When Xu Damao heard this, his eyes widened and he immediately became furious.

He slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Ms. Jia Zhang, are you crazy about money? Why do you want to give me a gift of ten yuan?"

I don’t have that much spare money to give you. The money I earn is from my hard work, why should I be blackmailed by you like this?”

Jia Zhang's face darkened, and her originally smiling face suddenly turned gloomy. She stretched out her finger, pointed at Xu Damao and said: "Xu Damao, you don't know how to praise me. You are the leader in the workshop, and every month

The salary is so high and you earn a lot.

What does this little money mean to you? Besides, you have such a relationship with our family, how can you justify not giving it?

If you don't give me this gift, I'll see how you can hold your head high in this courtyard from now on."

Xu Damao sneered, his face full of disdain. "Jia Zhang, don't use these words to pressure me.

When I am a leader, the money I earn based on my ability has nothing to do with you. Why should I give you so many gifts? You are going too far.

Do you think you are the only one who can scheme? I will not let you control me. If you continue to be so unreasonable, don't blame me for being rude.

Seeing that Xu Damao refused to pay, Jia Zhang was furious. She sat down on the ground and shouted at the top of her lungs: "I don't care, if you don't give me ten yuan today, I won't leave. Xu Damao, you

Beat me up if you can!"

Xu Damao clenched his fists tightly and was so angry that he was shaking all over. He really wanted to give Jia Zhang a lesson.

But he quickly calmed down, thinking that he was now the leader of the workshop, and if he really beat up a resident, he would definitely get into big trouble.

At that time, work may be affected, and it is really not worth the loss.

At this moment, Qin Jingru heard the conversation between the two in the house and became furious.

She ran out with a basin of hot water, pointed at Mrs. Jia Zhang and cursed: "Mrs. Jia Zhang, don't go too far! You dare to blackmail our family Damao, see if I don't teach you a lesson."

With that said, he was about to pour hot water on Mrs. Jia Zhang.

When Jia Zhang saw this posture, she was so frightened that she quickly got up from the ground and took a few steps back. "Qin Jingru, how dare you! If you dare to insult me, I will never be done with you."

Qin Jingru's eyes widened angrily, "You old pious woman, you still dare to threaten me. What if I insult you today? Who asked you to bully my Damao?"

The two of them started arguing, and the sound got louder and louder. Xu Damao was stamping his feet anxiously on the side, and quickly grabbed Qin Jingru, "Jingru, don't be impulsive, don't make things worse."

Qin Jingru said angrily: "Da Mao, she, Jia Zhang, has gone too far. We can't just let it go."

Not to be outdone, Mrs. Jia Zhang said, "Huh, you two teamed up to bully me, an old woman. I tell you, you must give me this gift. If you don't give it to me, you will make trouble every day."

Qin Jingru's eyes widened with anger, and the hand holding the hot water basin trembled slightly. "You old pious woman, you still dare to threaten me. What if I splash you today? Who asked you to bully my Damao?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang's face turned red with anger, she put her hands on her hips and took a step forward. "Qin Jingru, how dare you! If you dare to insult me, I will never end it with you. Do you think I'm afraid of you? You two just rely on a little money.

Amazing? Let me tell you, you must give me the ten yuan gift today."

Qin Jingru did not flinch, "What a beautiful idea! You are blackmailing me. Why should we give you so much money? You don't even look at the things you do. You know how to plot others all day long."

Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted, "Who am I plotting against? This is for my family's marriage. Since you have such a relationship with our family, you should contribute more money."

"You are lying." Qin Jingru raised her voice, "Our money did not come from strong winds. Don't go too far."

Qin Huairu didn't want to help Xu Damao at all, she just didn't want to be blackmailed by Jia Zhang.

Seeing that Jia Zhang's arrogance was getting higher and higher, Qin Jingru took the hot water and poured it towards Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang's furious look and felt extremely helpless. She really didn't want to help Xu Damao, but she just didn't want to be blackmailed by Jia Zhang and make things get out of hand.

Mrs. Jia Zhang ran back home with an angry face, spitting and scolding Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, look at that Qin Jingru, she is a shrew. She actually dared to pour hot water on me. What's more?

Is there no justice? We can’t just let it go, we must let them give an explanation. Huh, she is great just because Xu Damao is the leader of the workshop? We can’t be afraid of them."

Qin Huairu frowned and said, "Mom, don't be so angry. You did it wrong in the first place. How could you blackmail Xu Damao? It's normal for him not to give."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she became even more furious, "What do you mean I did something wrong? I did this all for Xiaodang's marriage. Since they have such a relationship with our family, they should pay more. Qin Huairu, are you right?

Are your elbows turned outward?"

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Mom, I didn't turn my elbows outward. We can't be so unreasonable. If this matter gets serious, it will not be good for our family."

Seeing that Mrs. Jia Zhang was still chattering, Qin Huairu could only remind her.

"We want to take advantage of this opportunity to make money. If we make a scene in the courtyard and attract the attention of the subdistrict office, the leaders of the subdistrict office may come forward. By then, we may not be able to hold the wedding banquet.

.”

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zhang's expression suddenly changed.

She knew very well that these days the street office promoted thrift and thrift, and had suggested several times to the residents in the compound not to hold wedding banquets.

Mrs. Jia Zhang is still a little unwilling to give up.

"I just calculated it. Even if all the residents in the compound come to attend the wedding banquet, they can only earn less than a hundred yuan. What are you doing with this little money?"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu glanced at Pozui secretly. One hundred yuan is a huge sum of money these days, but now Jia Zhang is so dissatisfied.

Of course, the more money Jia Zhang earns, the more money Qin Huairu earns.

Qin Huairu smiled and said: "Jia Zhang, I remember that our family has many relatives in Jiajiazhuang."
