Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

After Xiaodang and Yan Jiefang got married, they left the Jia family and lived in the Yan family.

The days seemed to be passing peacefully, but troubles came unexpectedly.

The third uncle took advantage of Xiaodang to go to work that day and called Yan Jiefang into the room.

Yan Jiefang walked into the house without knowing why and asked respectfully: "Third uncle, what do you want from me?"

The third uncle narrowed his eyes slightly, cleared his throat and said: "Liberation, you and Xiaodang are married, and now Xiaodang also lives at home.

As a big family, we have a lot of expenses. So, starting from this month, you will have to pay ten yuan more for living expenses."

When Yan Jiefang heard this, he frowned and said, "Third uncle, this is unreasonable. Xiaodang and I just got married, and we don't have much money. Besides, how can we suddenly ask for ten more yuan? These ten yuan

It's not a small amount.

You see, how much does a pound of pork cost now? This ten yuan can buy many pounds of pork. Our salary is not high, and we have to plan our expenses every month. Take our daily meals as an example, we also

I can’t eat much, and my appetite is small. And we are usually very economical and don’t waste food, water and electricity. This ten yuan is really too much.”

But the third uncle said unhurriedly: "Liberation, think about it, now that Xiaodang has lived here, won't he have to pay more for food, water, electricity and so on? Look, let's just talk about eating.

, In the past, we might only use so much rice and noodles in a month at home, but now that Xiaodang is here, it will definitely be consumed quickly.

There are also these vegetables, why don’t you buy more? This is all money. Besides, the water is used. Xiaodang washes clothes, takes a bath, etc., so it is not allowed to use water. There is also electricity. If one more person lights the lamp at night, the electricity will be used too.

It’s much more. This ten yuan is really not much.”

Yan Jiefang said hurriedly: "Third uncle, you can't say that. Although there is one more person when Xiaodang comes, it's not like we have to spend so much more money. As far as water is concerned, we are also very economical.

We won’t waste it casually. And now we don’t have to wash clothes and shower every day. And with this electricity, we don’t light the lights for a long time at night. Besides, we usually help with the housework, which can be regarded as a contribution to the family.

"This ten yuan is really too much, can't you order less?"

But the third uncle shook his head resolutely, "No, ten yuan cannot be less. This is all for the good of this family. If you don't pay it, Xiaodang will not have a hard time at home in the future, right? Think about it, everyone is doing this for this

Everyone pays for it, and you are no exception.

Look at Lao Li's family next door. After their son got married, he also paid more for living expenses. Our ten yuan is really not much."

Yan Jiefang felt very helpless. He knew that the third uncle had always been shrewd and it was difficult to change something once decided.

But he really didn’t want to pay the extra ten yuan, so he tried to discuss it with the third uncle. “Third uncle, please be accommodating.

Xiaodang and I just got married, and it was really not easy.

We will definitely be filial to you in the future, so please don’t embarrass us."

The third uncle was unmoved, "Jiefang, I'm not trying to embarrass you. I'm also thinking about this family.

If you don't pay these ten dollars, your family's life will not be easy in the future. Think about it for yourself."

After saying that, the third uncle waved his hand and signaled Yan Jiefang to go out.

Yan Jiefang walked out of the house helplessly, his heart full of distress and not knowing what to do.

At noon, Yan Jiefang came to the textile factory, his expression full of worry. He waited at the factory gate until Xiaodang came out, and then hurriedly walked forward. When Xiaodang saw Yan Jiefang, a gentle smile appeared on his face, but when she saw

When Yan Jiefang's frown appeared, his smile faltered slightly.

"Liberation, what's wrong? What happened?" Xiao Dang asked with concern.

Yan Jiefang sighed and said: "Xiao Dang, the third uncle took advantage of you to go to work and called me into the room and said that starting from this month, we will pay ten yuan more for living expenses. The reason is that you now live in

My family's expenses are high. I thought this was unreasonable, so I argued with the third uncle, but the third uncle refused to let go."

After hearing this, Xiaodang frowned slightly, thought for a while and then said: "Jiefang, since the third uncle said so, let's agree to him. Although ten yuan is a lot, we can't end up with him just because of this little money.

The family is having an unpleasant quarrel. We have just gotten married and there is still a long time to come. I don’t want these things to affect our lives. I just want to live a good life with you and live a good life."

Yan Jiefang looked at Xiaodang in surprise and said, "Xiaodang, these ten yuan are not a small amount. Our wages are not high, and life may be even tighter in the future."

Xiaodang held Yan Jiefang's hand and said firmly: "Liberation, it's okay. If we work together, it will get better. As long as the two of us are together, any difficulty can be overcome. Moreover, we can't let the third uncle

It’s embarrassing, after all, he is doing it for the good of this family.”

Yan Jiefang looked at Xiaodang's gentle but firm eyes, and his heart was filled with emotion. He held Xiaodang's hand tightly and said, "Xiaodang, you are so kind. With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything. We

You will definitely live a good life.”

Xiaodang smiled, his eyes full of longing for the future.

Xiaodang happily looked forward to a better life in the future with Yan Jiefang, but she didn't know that at this time she had been targeted by Yan Jiefang's eldest brother Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng's life has been very difficult recently. He is so short of money that he has no money to buy wine. He has been frowning all day long, racking his brains to think of ways to make money. By chance, he heard that there is something wrong with the textile factory.

If he could resell the scraps of cloth, he would definitely make a lot of money. As soon as this idea came up, it grew like a weed in his heart.

So, Yan Jiecheng couldn't wait to come to the factory to find Yan Jiefang. He looked around at the factory gate, looking anxious and expectant. When he saw Yan Jiefang's figure, he hurried up to meet him.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Liberation, I have found you." Yan Jiecheng said eagerly.

Yan Jiefang saw his eldest brother's appearance and wondered, "Brother, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Yan Jiecheng pulled Yan Jiefang aside and said in a low voice: "Jiefang, brother has been really sad recently. I heard that there are a lot of waste cloths in your textile factory. Can you think of a way to help me get some out?

If we resell it, we will definitely make a profit."

When Yan Jiefang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, "Brother, this is not okay. There are regulations for the disposal of waste cloth in the factory and cannot be resold casually. If this is discovered, it will cause big trouble."

Yan Jiecheng disagreed, "Jiefang, don't be so timid. Let's be careful and we won't be discovered. Just help me this time. I really have no choice."

Yan Jiefang shook his head resolutely, "Brother, it's really not possible. We can't do such illegal things. You'd better think of other ways."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Jiefang's resolute attitude and felt angry and anxious.

Yan Jiecheng saw that Yan Jiefang disagreed, and his heart was filled with annoyance and unwillingness. He wandered outside the factory for a long time, thinking about it, and felt that he could not just give up. So, he decided to go find Xiaodang in person.

Xiaodang was busy in the workshop when she suddenly saw Yan Jiecheng coming to her. She was very surprised. "Brother, why are you here? What's the matter?" Xiaodang asked doubtfully.

Yan Jiecheng's face was full of smiles, but his eyes were twinkling. "Xiao Dang, it's like this. My eldest brother has encountered some difficulties recently and needs some money urgently. I heard that there are a lot of waste cloths in your textile factory, and Jiefang has promised

Help me get some out, let me come to you for help."

When Xiao Dang heard this, he frowned slightly. "Brother, this can't be done. There are regulations in the factory that waste cloth cannot be taken out casually. Jiefang really agreed?"

Yan Jiecheng nodded quickly and said swornly: "Really, Jiefang told me this himself. Xiaodang, please help big brother this time. Big brother will definitely remember your kindness in the future."

Xiaodang felt a little hesitant. On the one hand, she felt that it was wrong to do so, but on the other hand, she did not want to go against Yan Jiefang's wishes. "Brother, I still don't feel good. What if we are discovered?"

Yan Jiecheng said quickly: "Don't worry, Xiaodang. We should be careful and we won't be discovered. And this is also to help eldest brother tide over the difficulties. Just help."

Xiaodang bit his lip, thought for a while, and finally relented. "Okay, brother, let me give it a try. But you must be careful not to be discovered."

Yan Jiecheng was overjoyed and said quickly: "That's great, Xiaodang. Don't worry, big brother will be careful. When I make money, big brother will thank you very much." After saying that, Yan Jiecheng looked at Xiaodang expectantly and waited.

She took out the scrap cloth.

Although Xiaodang also knew that it was a bit dangerous to take out the scrap cloth.

But Yan Jiecheng is Yan Jiefang's brother after all. It would be too unkind if she didn't help.

Especially Xiaodang himself is responsible for transporting waste cloth.

After get off work, the noise in the workshop gradually subsided, and the workers left one after another like birds returning to their nests. But Xiaodang stood there, her heart beating as fast as a drum, and her nervousness and anxiety overwhelmed her like a tide.

Her eyes moved around in panic, and her hands clenched the corners of her clothes tightly, as if this would bring a little courage to herself.

Her heart is full of contradictions and struggles. On the one hand, she knows that this is wrong and violates the factory's regulations;

On the other hand, Yan Jiecheng is Yan Jiefang's eldest brother. He said that Yan Jiefang has already agreed. She does not want to embarrass Yan Jiefang and also wants to help her family overcome the difficulties.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Xiao Dang slowly moved towards the pile of scrap cloth.

Every step was like stepping on cotton, frivolous and heavy. Her eyes were fixed on the pile of scrap cloth, and the eager look of Yan Jiecheng and her trust in Yan Jiefang constantly appeared in her mind.

She kept asking herself in her mind, is it really okay to do this? What if she is discovered? But when she thought of Yan Jiecheng's helpless eyes, she felt that she couldn't just sit back and watch.

When he came to the scrap cloth, Xiao Dang's hands trembled even more.

She gently stretched out her hand and touched the scrap cloths. The rough texture of the cloth seemed to become extremely hot at this moment. She bit her lip, made up her mind, quickly folded some scrap cloths, and then stuffed them carefully.

Put it in your backpack.

As she stuffed it, she looked around nervously, for fear of any trouble.

When Xiao Dang was nervously stuffing scrap cloth into her backpack, she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. Her heart suddenly tightened, and she raised her head in panic, only to see her coworker Liu Dahong standing not far away.

He looked at her in surprise.

Xiao Dang's face instantly turned pale and her mind went blank. But she quickly forced herself to calm down, tried to force out a smile, and tried to deal with it. "Dahong, why haven't you left yet? You scared me." Xiao Dang.

His voice trembled slightly.

Liu Dahong looked at Xiaodang and her bulging backpack in confusion, "Xiaodang, what are you doing? Why haven't you left yet?"

Xiaodang hid his backpack behind his back in a panic, "No...nothing, I'm just looking for something. I just found it and I'm about to leave."

Liu Dahong frowned, obviously not believing what Xiao Dang said, "Looking for something? What are you looking for now? Why does your backpack look so bulging?"

Xiaodang's heart beat faster, and she hurriedly said: "Oh, it's just some of my personal belongings. I'm leaving now, Dahong, see you tomorrow."

After saying that, Xiaodang hurriedly walked towards the door of the workshop without waiting for Liu Dahong's response.

Liu Dahong looked at Xiaodang's leaving figure, filled with doubts in his heart.

She always felt that Xiaodang's behavior was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

She stood there and thought for a while, then finally shook her head and left the workshop.

Xiaodang was frightened along the way. She didn't know if Liu Dahong would tell the story, and her heart was filled with worry and uneasiness.

Xiaodang arrived at the gate carrying a backpack with scraps of cloth. When she saw a security officer inspecting the worker's backpack, she felt a "buzz" in her head and her whole body felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face instantly turned pale.

As fast as paper, my heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of my throat.

At that moment, she instinctively wanted to run away, and her legs involuntarily took a step back. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hands tightly grasped the straps of her backpack, and her knuckles turned white from the exertion.

Her eyes stared at the security officers in horror. They were dressed in neat uniforms and had serious expressions. The inspection tools in their hands seemed to be the most terrifying weapons.

Xiaodang felt that the air around her had solidified, and it became difficult to breathe. Her throat was dry and she wanted to swallow but found that she couldn't.

The workers behind urged her, but she stood there as if petrified, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Fear and regret intertwined, and she hated herself for being so confused and listening to Yan Jiecheng's words.

But at this moment, there was no way out. She could only bite the bullet and move forward slowly. Every step was extremely heavy, as if she was walking towards a judgment seat.

At this time, security officer Liu Dazhi was carefully checking the workers' backpacks.

His eyes were sharp, not missing anything suspicious. When his eyes swept across the crowd, he suddenly spotted Xiaodang.

Xiaodang's pale face, slightly trembling body, and nervous expression immediately aroused his suspicion.
