Chapter 235: Stunned, huh?

Yan Bu Gui is watering the flowers in front of his house.

Lin Shengli, Yi Zhonghai, and Yi Dama walked in.

He hurriedly went to greet them, "I'm back."

"Shengli, you really are a god."

"We all regret not listening to you."

Lin Shengli laughed, "I'm not a god."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at the little house Yan Bu Gui had built in front of his door and was stunned.

"Uncle, I'm going to get something; I'll head to the factory in a bit."

Lin Shengli said that and walked toward his own house.

He's too busy right now!

He has to take the thing and still go to the factory.

He's now too lazy to deal with the Siheyuan matters.

He also told Yi Zhonghai to stay out of it.

But Yi Zhonghai is too attached to the Siheyuan to let it go.

After a round, Yi Zhonghai walked back to the Qian Yuan.

Yan Bu Gui was still there.

He furrowed his brows and asked:

"San Da Ye, you and the Second Elder, can you both take the lead?"

Yan Bu Gui glanced at Lin Shengli's house and chose to remain silent.

Yi Zhonghai continued:

"If this courtyard were built like yours, would you still call it a Siheyuan?"

Yan Bu Gui let out a light sigh and said:

"We learn a lesson from each ditch we fall into."

"What if another quake hits?"

"You, you know this earthquake, Tang Shan, magnitude eight."

He pointed at Yi Zhonghai and added:

"What a fellow, just like your rank."

"What if it comes again?"

He raised his hand, pointed at the little house he had added, and said proudly:

"Look, isn't this a ready-made earthquake shelter? Right?"

"Lao Yi, you weren't here; you don't know how terrifying that magnitude‑eight quake truly is."

"I thought I'd never see you again."

Yi Zhonghai let out a cold snort and said:

"Who told you not to believe Shengli?"

Yan Bu Gui: "Sigh, it's not that I don't believe."

"It's just that I'm not as rich as you."

"If I were rich, I'd also go on a vacation to the south."

Yi Zhonghai: "No need to vacation south; just stay farther away."

"I think you just don't believe."

Yan Bu Gui: "Hmm, that's true."

"I really was a bit skeptical then."

"Lao Yi, uh, let's not say anything else."

"You're Shengli's uncle, and also the Eldest Uncle of our courtyard; I respect you."

"Alright, as long as the Second Elder tears it down, I'll tear it down too."

Yan Bu Gui had already discussed it with Liu Haizhong.

They just kept passing the buck.

Yi Zhonghai let out a light sigh and said:

"I just told him as well."

"When his vigor kicks in, it's still not as good as yours."

Yan Bu Gui, a bit displeased, said, "So you just pick the soft persimmon to squeeze? Seriously."

Yi Zhonghai gave him a look, shook his head, and left.

Watching Yi Zhonghai's back, Yan Bu Gui smiled and muttered softly:

"Without pulling in Lao Liu, could I get it done?"

Qin Huairu's house.

The family was about to eat when the door was pushed open; everyone glanced up as Bang Geng walked in.

He was carrying a slab of pork, two chickens, and some mushrooms.

"Grandma, Mom, I'm back."

Xiao Dang furrowed his brows and asked:

"Brother, where are you off to make money?"

Bang Geng said proudly:

I'm not going to the countryside to show movies, am I?

Then the commune leader saw me shivering from the cold.

Feeling bad, he gave me these things.

Jia Zhangshi said, feeling sorry:

With an empty stomach, isn't that cold?

Hurry up and eat, look how frozen you are.

Huaihua, Xiao Dang, what are you standing there for? Quickly take your brother's things.

As a younger sister, seeing your brother come back holding something, you don't even know to take it.

What's it become?

Xiao Dang pursed her lips and took the pork and chicken from Bang Geng's hands.

Bang Geng pulled out money from his pants pocket and handed it with both hands to Qin Huairu, saying:

Mom, this is my salary for this month.

Qin Huairu happily took it, counted it, and asked:

How come there's so much?

Bang Geng said, looking proud and tsundere:

Subsidy, I'm now an official film projectionist, so I have a subsidy.

Xiao Dang said excitedly:

No wonder Xu Damao is the second richest person in our courtyard.

Turns out this profit is huge.

Qin Huairu regretted it.

Xu Damao can't have children.

If I had known, I should have married Xu Damao back then.

She wouldn't have to suffer this much.

Besides, Xu Damao can't have children, so he'll definitely treat Bang Geng better.

By then, won't Xu Damao's house and property all belong to Bang Geng?

If there were regret medicine, she would definitely take it now.

No, Xu Damao isn't even married yet, is he?

Or else, why not get together with Xu Damao?

Qin Huairu thought and thought, and fell into contemplation.

Bang Geng looked at her and said, "Mom, do you understand now?"

As long as you master this skill, you need not fear anywhere in the world.

I can now show movies on my own.

Nobody can control me.

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and asked:

What about Xu Damao?

Bang Geng: "He's my master; I only respect him."

Qin Huairu thought again and said:

Alright, let's eat first.

Bang Geng looked around and asked:

What about Grandma?

Huaihua: "Grandma's been bewitched by two old hens."

I'm afraid we can't kill them.

Xiao Dang: "That's right, the Six Roots Family keeps two old hens."

It's already winter, they lay eggs every day, and Grandma's eyes are greedy.

Shuzhu Jia

Shazhu was alone at home drinking to drown his sorrows.

Xiao Dang walked in.

Shazhu's eyes lit up.

Have you eaten?

Xiao Dang: "I have."

Saying that, she walked over to help Shazhu tidy the bed.

Shazhu: "Xiao Dang, you tidy up Uncle Sha's place, but you really can't keep it clean for a few days."

Uncle Sha, I'm getting married right away.

Xiao Dang, upon hearing that, hurriedly asked:

Who are you marrying?

Shazhu: "No, I haven't decided yet."

Xiao Dang laughed: "That's just talking for nothing."

Shazhu: "It's not me bragging; I'm telling you, finding a wife isn't that easy, is it?"

What do you say?

Xiao Dang: "That's right, if you have a house, you have a house; if you have money, you have money."

"Still just earning side money."

Shazhu nodded and said, "So, you two, from now on, don't act as little spies any more."

"Hmph, on the surface you help me tidy the house here and attend to me."

"In fact, you're just little agents."

Xiao Dang heard that and instantly became displeased, "You've got that wrong, sir."

"My mother has already expressed her stance to us."

"From now on, absolutely won't get any closer to you."

Hearing that, Shazhu was dumbfounded.

He has completely fallen out with Yu Haitang.

The reason he said he'd get married in a few days was just to scare Qin Huairu and Xiao Dang.

With that scare, perhaps Qin Huairu would voluntarily bring up marriage with him.

If it's Xiao Dang marrying him, he'd be even happier.

Who would have thought Qin Huairu would actually say she will never get any closer to him again.
