Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Chapter 268: Yan Jiecheng's transformation into a rolling knife

Yan Jiecheng was shocked by Yu Li's words. However, the Yan family's gene of sacrificing life over wealth quickly brought Yan Jiecheng back to his senses and said, "I'm not afraid of being scared. As long as I do the right thing, I'm not afraid!"

"Just think about it yourself." After saying that, Yu Li looked at Yan Jiecheng who looked so arrogant and wanted to slap him twice. How could she be so blind to fall in love with such a man?

The next day, when Yan Jiecheng arrived at the factory, he immediately found the leader he had talked to the day before, and then took the work order to report to the purchasing department. Yu Li arrived at the factory as if nothing had happened. After lunch, she asked for leave and left the factory. It took her more than two hours to complete all the procedures for the house.

Yu Li had just returned to the factory when Yan Jiecheng arrived. Yu Li asked, "Why are you here during working hours?!"

Yan Jiecheng said, "I'm in the purchasing department now, so I have more freedom at work." Then he asked, "Where did you go just now?!"

Yu Li said: "I went to handle the house application. I have already got the house, a tube-shaped building. It is just a little small, only about 20 square meters."

When Yan Jiecheng heard that it was a tube-shaped building, he immediately showed a bright smile on his face and said, "A tube-shaped building is good! Although it is a little small, it does not hinder our life."

Yu Li asked, "When are you planning to move?!"

Yan Jiecheng said, "Let's move without delay tomorrow. The day after tomorrow I'm going on a business trip with my colleagues, which will take about a week."

Yu Li said, "Okay! When I get off work, we'll go together. I'll take you to see our new home. That way you won't end up going to the wrong place in the future."

After being bored for too long and getting too much at once, you can't help but show off to the people around you. This is what Yan Jiecheng was thinking at the moment. As soon as Yan Jiecheng walked out of the small warehouse, he saw He Yuzhu. Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but show off: "He Yuzhu, what's the use of your big house?! I got a house! I'm going to live in a tube building soon!"

"Oh! Yan Jiecheng, you've upgraded your skills!" He Yuzhu smiled and complimented Yan Jiecheng, then asked, "Tell me, how did you get the house? You didn't try to curry favor with some leader. Are you planning to be the leader's son-in-law?" He Yuzhu then changed the subject and said, "No! You're already married! You're not going to imitate Chen Shimei, are you? Oh! Then I'll talk to Yu Li and tell her to be careful. Don't lose her life."

Yan Jiecheng shouted angrily: "He Yuzhu! What nonsense are you talking about?!" Then Yan Jiecheng lowered his voice and said: "He Yuzhu, I am working in the purchasing department now. Yu Li and I are both regular employees. We fully meet the conditions for housing allocation. Don't talk nonsense!"

"Come on, come on! If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it! But you've moved, does your father agree?!" After saying that, He Yuzhu looked at Yan Jiecheng unconsciously, and suddenly felt that Yan Jiecheng was quite pitiful. But then again, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. People like Yan Jiecheng shouldn't find a wife.

After He Yuzhu's reminder, Yan Jiecheng's face changed. With his father Yan Bugui Grandet's character, it might take some effort for him to move out. He Yuzhu saw Yan Jiecheng in a daze, his eyes rolled, and just as he was about to speak, Yan Jiecheng came back to his senses and said, "My children have grown up, and they will separate sooner or later. If my father knew that the company allocated a house to me, he would be very happy. He Yuzhu, you don't have to sow discord."

"Okay! My kindness was taken for granted! I won't talk to you anymore!" After saying that, He Yuzhu put his hands behind his back, hummed the music of "The East is Red", and walked away with a relaxed pace.

Looking at He Yuzhu's back, Yan Jiecheng muttered, "Silly Zhu, you are such a fool! You are just a cook! What's so great about you! You will come back to beg me sooner or later!"

After work, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li met up and went to the house "allocated" to them by the factory. The tube building is five stories high. The third and fourth floors are for cadres. The fifth floor is a single dormitory with a room of ten square meters. The first and second floors are for workers. Yu Li's house is on the second floor, the second room on the left at the staircase, which is a one-bedroom apartment. Cooking is done in the corridor at the door. The toilets on the third and fourth floors are inside the house. The toilets on the first, second and fifth floors are at the bottom of the right side of the stairs.

After checking the house, on the way back, Yan Jiecheng said, "Wife, I have something to tell you."

Yu Li asked: "What's the matter?!"

Yan Jiecheng said, "Don't tell your employer about the house you're going to share with us. I'll borrow a flatbed truck and we'll move out before daybreak."

Yu Li said: "Why should we be sneaky when it's an open and aboveboard matter?!"

Yan Jiecheng said: "You don't understand! Our father likes to calculate. Isn't it because I am afraid that we will suffer losses?!"

Yu Li looked at Yan Jiecheng and said, "Suffer a loss?! Why should we suffer a loss?! I don't want to be stabbed in the back in the future." After saying that, Yu Li pushed Yan Jiecheng away and walked towards the courtyard angrily.

Soon Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng entered the courtyard gate. Yu Li saw Yan Bugui standing at the door and said straight to the point, "Dad! I have something to tell you!"

Yan Bugui asked: "What's the matter?!"

Yu Li said: "The company gave me a house as part of the settlement. We will move in tomorrow."

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "This is a good thing! Since you are moving away, I will settle some accounts with you after dinner."

Yu Li asked, "Dad! I don't think I owe you anything?!"

Yan Bugui said: "You don't owe me anything. But your man does."

Yu Li smiled and said, "Since you owe it to him, go find him." After that, Yu Li pulled Yan Jiecheng in front of Yan Bugui and said, "Yan Jiecheng, let me tell you. You should settle the accounts with your father. I don't want to be accused of something unclear in the future!" After that, Yu Li turned around and walked out.

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going?! You don't want to eat?!"

Yu Li replied: "Go out for a walk! Then you don't have to wait for me to eat! I have no appetite!"

After Deng Li left, Yan Jiecheng looked sad, as if his father had died. He looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Dad, what do you mean by this?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "What can I mean?!"

Yan Jiecheng then asked, "Didn't I settle the account with you last time? How could I still owe you anything?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "Do you think you really settled the account last time? You are still far from it." Then Yan Bugui took Yan Jiecheng into the house, took out his account book and abacus, and clattered on the abacus. Yan Bugui said, "You still owe me three hundred and eighteen yuan and ninety-two cents."

"How come there are still decimals and whole numbers?!" Yan Jiecheng complained and said, "Show me the account book."

Yan Bugui handed the account book to Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiecheng took the account book and read it carefully. He read ten lines at a glance. Yan Jiecheng finished reading the account book quickly and asked, "Does my grandfather know that you are so good at accounting?!"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. As long as you pay back the money, everything will be fine."

Yan Jiecheng replied firmly: "I don't have any money, but I have a life. Anyway, I was born by you. You can take my life away!"
