Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

After Yan Bugui returned home, he packed his things and sat on a stool.

The third aunt quickly poured a cup of hot water into the enamel pot and sprinkled a few tea leaves on it, which counted as a cup of tea.

There is no other way. The uncle won’t let me put too much tea leaves, not even a small pinch. I can only put a little bit, just enough to make the drink taste good.

While Yan Bugui was drinking water, the three aunts began to check Yan Bugui's harvest.

"Wow! Old Yan, you actually caught five fish? I've known for a long time that you, Old Yan, are a capable person."

The three aunts said happily.

"What, five fish? Just one for each person in the family."

Yan Jiefang also said with surprise.

"What do you mean one fish per person? Brother, can you count? There are seven people in the family. How can two fish be enough?"

Yan Jiekuang retorted.

"That's not the case. My eldest brother is already married, so the fish certainly doesn't belong to him. If you want to eat fish, just go catch it yourself."

Yan Jiefang said as a matter of course that although he had not grown up yet, he had already learned the essence of Yan Bugui: if you have enough food and clothes, you will not be poor, but if you don't plan well, you will be poor.

"That makes sense. In this case, the smallest fish will be mine."

Yan Jiedi also spoke up and said that as the only daughter in the family, she had hardly eaten any meat this year and was often not full every day.

Even though the third uncle was a scholar, he could not escape the common belief that girls were a waste of money and would eventually get married off, so it was enough for him to ensure that they would not starve to death.

As she spoke, Yan Jiedi's saliva was about to flow out.

"Bang bang bang~"

"What are you talking about? You know what it means to catch all the fish in one go, or you'll have no fish to eat later."

Yan Bugui slapped the table and scolded, "One fish for each person, why don't you go to heaven? How can your family afford to eat like this?"

"Uh, is this what you mean by draining the pond to catch all the fish?"

The second oldest, Yan Jiefang, was also educated. He doubted Yan Bugui's statement and felt embarrassed by this explanation.

"Shut up. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. This is how the phrase is interpreted in my eyes."

"My dear, take out the smallest fish, cook some soup with some green leaves, and let everyone taste it in the evening."

Yan Bugui made the decision without any doubt.

"Okay, I see."

After hearing this, the third aunt agreed. She could still distinguish between eating one meal and eating five meals. How could she finish five fishes at once? That would be such a waste.

"Dad, people put tofu in fish soup, and it tastes delicious. It won't taste good if you put vegetables in it."

Yan Jiekuang seemed to be very good at eating and made a suggestion.

"Hmm? You'll pay for the tofu?"

Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiekuang and said, "What's the taste of tofu? It's just a waste of money. Couldn't you buy a piece of meat with that money?"

Yan Jiekuang shrank his neck and said nothing. Where did he get the money?

"That's right. If you don't run a household, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. You keep thinking about things every day."

The third aunt also gave her son a lecture, feeling that her son was really getting too carried away.

Zhang Zhiqiang's home.

Zhang Zhiqiang was cooking at this time, preparing to make some braised pork for his wife to try, and Ran Qiuye followed him to the kitchen.

"Go back and take a rest, wife, you'll be able to eat soon."

Zhang Zhiqiang said lovingly.

"Honey, I have something to tell you."

Ran Qiuye grabbed Zhang Zhiqiang's arm and said.

"what happened?"

Zhang Zhiqiang asked doubtfully.

"Just when I was about to go out and wait for you, I was stopped by a woman from the middle courtyard."

Ran Qiuye decided to tell Zhang Zhiqiang about today's situation. After all, she was not a member of this hospital before and didn't understand many things. She had to let Zhang Zhiqiang see what to do.

"Hmm? What did she want to do? Did she not bully you?"

Zhang Zhiqiang frowned and asked, if Yi Zhonghai dared to attack his wife, he would see if he dared to tear down the Yi family.

"No, he just praised me. All kinds of praise."

"When he saw that I was pregnant, he insisted on giving me the red dates from his home. It was just a small bag, but it looked like a lot."

Ran Qiuye shook his head and said.

"So weird?"

Zhang Zhiqiang frowned slightly, wondering what Yi Zhonghai was thinking.

Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly had an idea and thought, could it be that incident?

At the beginning, one morning Yi Zhonghai found me and wanted to reconcile with me. Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted me to take care of him in his old age.

Zhang Zhiqiang still remembers the condition. Yi Zhonghai said that the house he and the deaf old lady owned would be his in the future, and that he would also receive personal teaching from Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter, and that the savings would also be his. However, he refused.

Could it be that Yi Zhonghai saw that there was no breakthrough here and wanted to start with his wife to see if she would agree to provide for their retirement?

The more Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If the lady wanted to deal with him, there would be no need for her to send gifts and praise her wife.

"Wife, I think it might be the uncle who wants to plot against you."

Zhang Zhiqiang said affirmatively.

"Ah? Plot against me? What can I have that they can plot against me?"

Ran Qiuye panicked and said with some fear.

She is just an innocent little girl, how could she understand any calculations? Ran Qiuye was afraid that she really could not see through other people's calculations.

"That's right, I guess it's ..."

Zhang Zhiqiang told Ran Qiuye his speculation and felt more and more that his speculation was reasonable.

"Why should we provide for their retirement?"

This was Ran Qiuye’s first thought, and she said it directly.

In Ran Qiuye's opinion, it is one's duty to provide for one's parents in their old age. Zhang Zhiqiang's parents had an accident, and it was indeed a pity that there was no way to provide for their old age.

But this doesn't mean that she is willing to have another person to take care of in her old age, especially since it has nothing to do with them.

"They don't have any children. They originally wanted Jia Dongxu from the Jia family to help them in their old age, but they didn't expect Jia Dongxu to die before them."

"Later, they wanted Sha Zhu to help them with their old age. This is exactly what they were planning. I guess they saw that our family is rich, so they were planning to take advantage of us again."

Zhang Zhiqiang analyzed.

His analysis was very close to the facts. Yi Zhonghai really thought so. There was nothing he could do. He was getting older and older, and his legs and feet were not as flexible as before. Even an old lady's front tooth was gloriously laid off.

Yi Zhonghai is worried because he has no children. Sha Zhu is a good person to take care of him in his old age, but Sha Zhu is a stubborn person. He never makes big mistakes but makes small ones all the time, which makes Yi Zhonghai very angry.

Yi Zhonghai felt that he was not too old now and could still help Sha Zhu, but sooner or later there would be a day when he could no longer help. If Sha Zhu was arrested then, what would the couple do?

That's why Yi Zhonghai was eager to make Zhang Zhiqiang willing to support him in his old age. Later, Zhang Zhiqiang repeatedly refused to give Yi Zhonghai face, and Yi Zhonghai did not try to deal with Zhang Zhiqiang. It was because of this consideration that he

"This is too much. I will ignore them in the future."

Ran Qiuye said with a pout.

"You can't do that. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease when you're alone at home?"

"I'm telling you, wife, just say what you mean. I definitely won't accept the things, and don't agree to the conditions. Just say you want to discuss it with me."

"Anyway, if you have anything to say, just wait for me to come back and tell me, and we can discuss it together."

Zhang Zhiqiang said that this was also a way of pretending to be nice.

Ran Qiuye thought about it and agreed. This was the best solution at the moment.
