Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 178 Zheng Hongying’s request failed

“If you want to make real friends, you must first be on an equal footing with the other person, and you must not make people feel class distance.”

"Of course, if you want to find a little follower, you have to show your strength everywhere and make people want to rely on you."

Sun Tingting listened to Li Xiuzhu's words very seriously, and it looked like she was just holding a small notebook to take notes.

But Sun Tingting didn't stay long, as Yan Bugui came with several children.

Now the youngest Yan Jiedi has been out for a few years, and she can be said to be the biggest winner of the courtyard, with both children.

Even Li Xiuzhu can't compare to this. To be honest, I'm envious of him.

After Yan Bugui's sons bowed, Li Xiuzhu invited Yan Bugui to take a seat and said, "Xie Cheng, I heard that you are getting married soon. Congratulations."

Yan Jiecheng heard this and hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle Li, you have to help me. If you hadn't helped my dad, my family wouldn't be able to provide the bride price."

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this, looked at Yan Bugui and asked, "Didn't my brother say two days ago that it was still close, enough?"

Li Xiuzhu felt numb. Did he mean what he just said?

However, Chen Xueru did not get involved in the affairs of Yanbu Gui's family. Instead, she changed the subject with a smile and said, "Brother Yan, I have purchased all the betrothal gifts, so it will be over soon."

"Da Mao just came over to tell us that we can do it. Brother Yan, you, the second uncle, would be a bit embarrassed if you don't do it."

Li Xiuzhu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He, Brother Yan, was so ruthless that he had made a million profits for this, but he actually felt that his son had taken advantage of him.

"Are you going to have a party at your house?"

However, I have my own personal destiny in this regard, and an outsider cannot control it. A few words at most is the greatest help I can do to the Yan family.

"Did your father and I eat alone? Or did we eat differently from you?"

"In addition, if you don't want to do this, it's best to avoid Damao's house."

"But not all of them are for hosting banquets, there are also some for his father-in-law's family."

As he spoke, Yan Bugui looked at his brothers and sisters and said, "You guys just won't grow up. It would be great to listen to what your Uncle Li said."

Yan Bugui nodded when he heard the words, thought about it for a while, and still didn't say anything.

Li Xiuzhu smiled.

"The boss said that we will not separate the family within ten years after marriage, and will give me ten yuan a month as a pension."

Yan Bugui put down his hand after hearing this, nodded proudly and said, "That is, you will suffer poverty only if you don't have enough food, clothing, and calculations."

If you pick them like this, your children are no longer children, they are all animals.

As for the older ones, this was even more true. At the same time, they were a little bit resentful that Uncle Li shouldn't talk nonsense.

"Where did he get so many supplies?"

Yan Bugui nodded and said: "The boss is anxious to get a wife, so I was cruel and went to the black market to buy everything."

With such a father on the stall, it's no wonder that no one in the Yan family can provide for him in old age.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui patted the armrest and said with a deep sense of confidant: "Who says it's not the case? If we leave, won't this incredible wealth fall into the hands of these little bastards?"

Yan Bugui looked away from his children, looked at Chen Xueru and said sheepishly: "It's not that I can't do it. It costs too much to have a meal these days, and it's not easy to get supplies."

"Aren't your father's and mine's money going to be left to you in the future?"

"We make money for a lifetime, but in the end we won't be able to benefit these bastards..."

Yan Bugui was embarrassed to say it, but Chen Xueru and Li Xiuzhu both understood. This meant that he had a large family and could not afford to treat him.

When Li Xiuzhu doubted himself, Chen Xueru was amused. They were an old couple and knew what Li Xiuzhu meant very well.

"Even if I wanted to, I don't have the time to run around."

"Brother doesn't seem like someone who can do business at a loss."

Chen Xueru's words relieved several Yan family children, including Yan Jiedi.

"But don't worry, if others don't invite me, I will definitely invite you two. This is your family..."

Yan Bugui was startled when he heard this. Xu Damao's banquet was beyond his expectation.

"I am saving money for them, and these little bastards are still reluctant to do so, as if I have taken advantage of them."

"And I let them live in the renovated and expanded house, and I still have three yuan a month for rent."

Suddenly he felt less indebted to the two brothers Jianguo and Jianye. At least he didn't let the two brothers starve. He could still eat meat eight days a month, so he was a truly loving father.

"Brother, I seem to be at a loss, but for this brat, I have to prepare all the gift money in advance."

How much is face worth? Eighty yuan for a banquet is too extravagant. It takes half a bicycle to eat and you can't get much back.

Although Yan Jiedi is still young, she is still in elementary school. Under the influence of her family, she already knows how to calculate. She really doesn't want to become like her elder brother in the future.

As he spoke, Yan Bugui couldn't help but cover his heart with his hands. It seemed that the price difference inside made him feel distressed to this day.

As for today, it’s not over.

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "He begged me for this. He gave me eighty yuan and asked for twenty catties of meat, twenty catties of vegetables, and ten catties of noodles."

Chen Xueru nodded in understanding, and then said: "It's fine if you don't do it. My man can go to my house, and we won't go to the women's house."

"Brother Yan, money is important, but children are also important."

"Da Mao is going to be successful. That's all right. Our daughter-in-law will come in behind Damao's house."

Although it is said that you can have a meal for more people by entering the house first, you will have to lose face with your daughter-in-law, and if you start a family first, you will have a small family, so the gift money will have to be doubled.

He can't do this kind of loss-making business.

When Li Xiuzhu and Chen Xueru heard Yan Bugui's words, they looked at each other and understood.

The two of them didn't plan to say anything, they just wanted to talk less and make fewer mistakes.

After Yan Bugui left, everyone came around, even Zheng Hongying came with Banggan and Xiaodang.

The name is still the same, and the appearance is somewhat similar, but it's outrageous, as if the world has been partially corrected.

Li Xiuzhu didn't look at Jia Geng through colored glasses. Like most other families, the family gave him one yuan as their new year's gift.

It's all given in this way. He won't deliberately give the child only 10 or 20 cents. He is the third uncle in the courtyard.

Zheng Hongying saw the children collecting the money and said quickly: "Okay, your Uncle Li and Aunt Li have given you the money. Mom will take care of it for you first. Don't take such a big amount of money."

Bangge and Xiaodang immediately changed from excited faces to sad faces, with unhappiness written all over their faces, but even being unhappy couldn't change anything.

But Banggeng is also smart. Hearing this, he said: "Mom, I want to take my sister to buy two small whips."

Zheng Hongying glanced at her son accusingly, then sighed and said angrily: "I'll give you thirty cents each, but you have to save some for me."

The two little guys immediately became happy again after hearing this.

Banggan even asked Li Xiuzhu, "Uncle Li, where are Jianguo and Jianye? I'll take them to set off the cannons together."

Before Li Xiuzhu could speak, Chen Xueru said with a smile: "Jianguo and Jianye are studying hard now and have no time to play."

"Since you want Jianguo and Jianye so much, why don't you follow suit and learn from them?"

When Banggeng heard this, his legs tightened and he quickly pulled Xiaodang and ran away.

"No, I won't disturb Jianguo and Jianye anymore."

Watching the two children leave, Zheng Hongying did not leave.

Seeing Zheng Hongying's strange look, Li Xiuzhu didn't understand it for a moment. What's going on, why don't you still want to have lunch at their house?

But before the two of them could speak, Zheng Hongying hesitated for a few seconds and then suddenly knelt down.

At this moment, Li Xiuzhu's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively thought of having sex.

Is Zheng Hongying here to touch him? what? Is this a complete abortion? And then blackmail him?

In just a few seconds, Li Xiuzhu's mind was filled with thoughts about how to deal with Zheng Hongying, but in the next second, Zheng Hongying suddenly kowtowed.

what's going on? Want to ask them for something? This is no small matter, right?

While Li Xiuzhu was thinking this, Zheng Hongying had already spoken.

"Sister Xueru, little brother Li, please take me in, please."

As soon as Zheng Hongying opened her mouth, Li Xiuzhu couldn't stop herself.

Also, by putting Xueru in front of me, I clearly understand my position as a younger brother in the family.

It's a pity that he doesn't like Zheng Hongying, a scheming girl at all. Even the Zhao family's daughter-in-law is more attractive than Zheng Hongying.

He can accept that a woman is not gentle and kind, but he cannot accept that a woman brings bad intentions into his home.

Li Xiuzhu didn't speak, but Chen Xueru did.

"What's wrong? Why don't you get up and talk?"

"You are kneeling like this. If you don't know, you might think someone in our family is bullying you."

Zheng Hongying shook her head when she heard this, and said pitifully: "Sister, if you don't take me in, I won't get up."

When Chen Xueru heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and laughed inwardly.

But it’s too much to think too much about kidnapping her.

Chen Xueru's face remained calm and she said calmly: "Oh, in that case, just kneel down and say it."

"Pfft~" Li Xiuzhu couldn't hold back his laughter.

Zheng Hongying's face was filled with embarrassment. She couldn't stand or kneel for a while.

She was a pregnant woman with a big belly, so it was really difficult for her to keep kneeling.

But Zheng Hongying is also a ruthless person, so she said it on her knees.

"Sister Xueru, my mother-in-law won't give me a way to survive, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Sister Xueru, as long as you are willing to take our family in, I can do everything Ru Shui can do."

Chen Xueru frowned when she heard this.

"Do you threaten me?"

"No, I don't dare. I just want the same opportunity."

Chen Xueru's features became much better now, and she said, "Our family is not a philanthropic family, so what you said is impossible to support your family."

"Who do you think you are? Gold-encrusted?"

"Even if you are still a young lady, you don't have the qualifications."

Hearing this, Zheng Hongying's eyes darkened. She also knew that she was out of ideas. She just thought that Li Xiuzhu might be a good wife, so she came to give it a try.

Chen Xueru continued: "Let's talk about your situation first. Although we won't accept you, but considering how pitiful you are, we can give you some advice."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Hongying, who was still kneeling on the ground, and continued: "Get up and talk first, the ground is cold."

Zheng Hongying didn't show off this time. She obediently followed Chen Xueru's instructions and sat on the chair. Then she said, "My mother-in-law has been working for a month and she only gave me ten yuan for household expenses."

"Forget it, Dongxu's compensation is tightly controlled by her, and even the fine grains at home are locked in the cabinet."

"Although I can still get by now, she is trying to prevent me. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for me when this comes out."

"Brother Xiao Li, Sister Xueru, you must help me."

Chen Xueru nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Man, what do you think?"

Li Xiuzhu didn't want to get too involved in it, so he heard this and said, "How about holding a hospital-wide meeting? A few of us can help you talk about it?"

Hearing this, Zheng Hongying felt bad. This was treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

But it seems that’s all it can do now.

Just when Zheng Hongying was about to agree, Chen Xueru suddenly said: "You have to think about solving the problem from the root."

“Resolving the root cause of the problem?”

Chen Xueru didn't seem surprised that Zheng Hongying didn't understand, and explained: "Think about your future."

"You are only twenty-five or six this year, right? Are you planning to stay a widow for the rest of your life?"

"Your mother-in-law will give you a stutter so that you can't die, but in the future you will be willing to work as a horse for your mother-in-law?"

"You should know better than me who your mother-in-law is."

Zheng Hongying understood now, but still asked hesitantly: "Sister, are you trying to persuade me to find a man to marry? But my mother-in-law won't let Banggeng go with me."

"Even if she really agrees, she will follow me."

"What good man can want me in my situation?"

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this and said: "It's not bad, I see it very thoroughly and understand it very well."

"First of all, you have to start a new family. Does it make a big difference whether you want a son or not? You are still young and can have as many children as you want. There will be no shortage of sons."

"The results are completely different if you bring your son to remarry and if you bring your daughter to remarry."

"The purpose of raising a son is to share the family property. The daughter will be married off sooner or later, and others won't care too much."

"You know better than me which kind of man is easier to find."

"The second thing is your mother-in-law. If she doesn't let you, then you have to let her."

"For example, your mother-in-law remarries, or you agree to leave the stick to your mother-in-law."

Hearing this, Zheng Hongying was stunned. She didn't expect to be able to operate like this.

Suddenly Zheng Hongying thought of Yan Bugui who had brought three kilograms of pork to her mother-in-law.

Although she knew that the two of them had nothing to do with each other and that they were probably blackmailed by her mother-in-law because of the hospital affairs, she wouldn't believe it if you said it was nothing at all.

Would a decent person be willing to be blackmailed for three pounds of pork if someone witnessed that it was a misunderstanding?

Not to mention that this is not normal, even in normal times, three kilograms of pork is not a small amount.

As for the children, she didn't want them.

Even if what Chen Xueru said was right, after all, it was the flesh that fell from her own body, so she couldn't bear to part with it.

Especially for such a fat boy like Bangge.

If possible, she would take all three children with her.

But who wouldn't dislike her?

Suddenly, Silly Zhu, who had been helping her after the man died, appeared in her mind.

I'm sorry, Zhuzi, there's nothing I can do about it, it's just you!

Seeing that Zheng Hongying was enlightened and left in a state of confusion, Li Xiuzhu touched his chin and said to himself: This does not mean that the whole hospital meeting can still be held.
