The Great Era of Siheyuan

Whenever the sun rises, it means a new day has begun, and it is another vibrant day in the courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng was in a bad mood these past two days. He worked very hard for two or three days with his frail body, but he didn't make any money and lost a lot of money. With the little money he earned and a little money borrowed from Yan Jiefang, he barely repaired the car and installed brakes. This morning, he collapsed from exhaustion and lay motionless on the bed.

Even though his parents called him several times, he was too lazy to move and felt like his feet didn't belong to him anymore.

The reason is simple. His body has not yet adapted to the long-term hunger, malnutrition, and continuous high-intensity work.

"Why are you sleeping? Get up! It's the time when many people are going to work. Why don't you get up and drive your car? What will our family eat if you don't drive? It's a waste to leave the car at home. If you don't get up and drive, then the car will be free during the day and you can drive at night."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng lying on the bed and sleeping, the third aunt was furious. She was already dissatisfied because she didn't get much money in the past few days. Now Yan Jiecheng started to mess up again. When would they get their money back for this car?

"Mom, I'm too tired these days, please let me sleep a little longer!"

Yan Jiecheng turned over, covered his head, and continued to sleep.

"Why are you sleeping? You used to hang out outside all day when you had no job. Now there's work to do but you don't want to do it. I think you should stop doing this job and let you go. Let you go. From today on, the daytime is yours!"

The third uncle said this and woke up Yan Jiefang who was sleeping upstairs.

"Dad, are you serious? I'll run during the day from now on?"

Yan Jiefang was overjoyed. He never expected that such a good thing would happen to him.

He can only drive until 9 or 10 o'clock at night at the latest. If he drives again without a suitable reason and is caught by the patrol team, he will be in trouble and will definitely be sent to the police station. The street office will come to pick him up, and the fact that he drives an illegal taxi without a license will surely be revealed, and he will be in trouble.

The most important thing is that he will definitely earn more during the day than at night. He only takes over at around seven o'clock every evening and only works for a few hours at most. How can he make any money?

"That's right. If your brother doesn't want to run, then you go. If he likes to lie down, then let him lie down. Just do your job!"

As soon as the third uncle finished speaking, Yan Jiefang jumped off the bed and said excitedly.

"Okay, Mom, is breakfast ready? I'll go out for a run right after breakfast!"

"Why are you running? Daytime is my time. How can you occupy my time so casually? Have you asked me?"

Yan Jiecheng got up from the bed at once, looking at the third uncle with a face full of anger. If he hadn't been so stingy as not to install brakes, he wouldn't have been injured.

The day before yesterday, he fell and injured his hands and legs. He thought he could recover some money by picking up a briefcase, but it was robbed by Li Wenqiang before he even got in. When he got home, his parents scolded him without any reason and forced him to pay for the car repair.

I rode the tricycle all day yesterday while enduring severe pain. My hands and feet started to swell. The injury got worse before it healed. I wanted to have a good rest for a day, but now my parents want to give the daytime use of the tricycle to his younger brother. Isn't this playing tricks on him?

"Ask you? The car is mine, what does it have to do with you? If you don't run, can't you give it to your brother? I'll tell you the answer. The car is mine, I can give it to whoever I want, can't I give it to someone else if you don't want to do it? If you want to do it, get up now!"

The third uncle looked at him expressionlessly. He had such a big family to support and finally found a way to earn income for his family, but he still didn't cherish it. Does everyone have this opportunity? You know, he spent fifty or sixty yuan to save up for this car.

Yan Jiecheng just wanted to stand up, but the pain in his legs made him twitch his mouth. He knew that he would not be able to work for the next few days.

"Okay, if you want to change, then change. It's okay if I don't run away!"

Yan Jiecheng said this angrily, and then lay down on the bed. He had completely given up on changing his parents' minds.

"Humph, of course I have to change. You blame others for your own failure. Have you ever asked yourself whether you have worked hard to study and make money over the years? You are such a grown-up, but you have accomplished nothing. You can't study well, and you can't work. I gave you a chance but you didn't cherish it. You still have the nerve to throw a tantrum with me. If you have the ability, go make money yourself! Humph, let him reflect on himself at home, and then we go!"

After giving Yan Jiecheng a good scolding, the third uncle took everyone away.

After everyone left, Yan Jiecheng punched the bed hard, making a dull sound.

"Why am I always the one who gets hurt? I won't accept this!"

No one knows how unwilling Yan Jiecheng is, but Liu Guangtian is probably more unwilling than him.

"Why? Why is this happening?"

Liu Guangtian hid in the deaf old lady's room and cried.

Just now, he had wanted to go to Qin Huairu's house to get closer to her while everyone else was at work, but he didn't expect to see Xu Damao coming out of Qin Huairu's house. He had put in so much effort, but in the end, Xu Damao got the advantage.

Thinking of this, Liu Guangtian couldn't stop his tears from flowing down. This was his first chance to change his fate, but in the end, Xu Damao got the advantage.

“Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu~!”

Liu Guangtian cried very suppressedly, and didn't even dare to cry too loudly for fear of being heard by his family members next door.

"You useless thing, why are you crying? How are Xu Damao and Li Wenqiang, who I asked you to investigate these past two days?"

The deaf old lady was sitting on the bed in her underwear, her right foot casually resting on her left foot, her hands crossed, in a very seductive and charming pose.

If it was a young and beautiful woman, it might be pleasing to the eye, but her skin is now loose and wrinkled, which is really disgusting. However, Liu Guangtian has been able to accept it for a long time, so he doesn't care.

"How can it be so fast? Last time I asked you for a bicycle, you didn't give it to me. How can I track them and find out the news?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in the deaf old lady's words, Liu Guangtian also refuted with confidence.

"You want a bicycle? You must be dreaming! Don't you have any idea how much a bicycle costs? You cheated me of my sex and you want to cheat me of my money?"

The deaf old lady looked at him with disdain. After being blackmailed by Xu Damao, she had little capital left now. No one could cheat her out of money again.

"What if I tell you a useful piece of news?"

Liu Guangtian said indifferently. His heart was as hard as cement and his whole body was as cold as an emotionless killer. He felt particularly cool.

"If you have news, tell us now. Don't dilly-dally here like a woman!"

When the deaf old lady heard this, she immediately became excited and said that she wished she could grind Xu Damao and Li Wenqiang, who had caused her to fall into such a situation, into ashes.

"Want to get it for free? Give me money, old lady. Who will work for you if there's no benefit?"

Liu Guangtian glanced at her and said mockingly.

"Two dollars is enough for you, right? Go ahead!"

The deaf old lady was not stingy when she heard this, two dollars was enough for other people's two days' salary.

"Two dollars for a beggar! Ten dollars at least!"

How could two dollars satisfy Liu Guangtian? Yan Jiechengdu in the front yard was already riding a tricycle, so he also wanted to save up for a bicycle. These days, his parents at home were chanting like Tang Seng, talking endlessly. He was holding his breath and was determined to save up for a bicycle on his own.

"Forget it, get out of here and stop crying and being an eyesore in my house!"

Seeing that the deaf old lady refused, Liu Guangtian thought about it and decided that he had two dollars after all, which was enough for him to buy a dozen big steamed buns, so he didn't keep her in suspense any longer.

"Okay, deal!"
