The Great Era of Siheyuan

Everything was calm these two days. The only thing was that Sha Zhu invited the Qin sisters to dinner, but they left on bad terms.

Sha Zhu was depressed and finally drank to drown his sorrows, and it was Qin Huairu who coaxed him into good spirits.

Li Wenqiang accompanied the three sisters of the Xiao family to play nearby for two days. After buying some cloth and clothes, he stayed in the house obediently.

That bastard Chen Guoxin, who had a city hukou, asked for 500 yuan per person. Li Wenqiang refused directly and recruited the three sisters to work as clerks in Hongxing No. 1 Construction Company. He then went to Director Wang to apply for the household registration transfer and rent a house.

Li Huaide strongly requested that he must come to participate in this work-level assessment and dinner event. He said that many leaders would come, and if he was interested, he could introduce them to him.

Li Wenqiang had no interest in leadership, but he was quite interested in the work-level assessment. People around him had been discussing this for the past few days, and his ears were almost callused. He got out of bed early in the morning.

"Why did you get up so early today?"

Liu Yuhua looked at him lazily. They had been married for so long, but he had never gotten up early when he was at home. Every time he got up early, he had a strange feeling.

"I can't help it. Your husband is a very handsome man. The factory manager specifically asked me to go there early to take the work-level assessment. It's annoying when people are too outstanding!"

Li Wenqiang said with some pride.

"Didn't you just join the factory last month? How come you have something to do with the work-level assessment?"

Liu Yuhua felt a little strange when she heard his words and asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm too good! Let's just cook some porridge today. I'll go to the street to buy some fried dough sticks and buns!"

After Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he opened the door in high spirits. Outside, a group of neighbors in the yard were huddled together to wash and tell each other the gossip they had heard recently. When they saw Li Wenqiang, they were obviously stunned.

"Morning everyone!"

Li Wenqiang saw that everyone was staring at him, and he greeted them without any hesitation, then left without waiting for their response.

"The sun rose from the west today? How could this guy get up so early?"

Someone said in disbelief.

Li Wenqiang's existence is simply a legend in their courtyard. He went from being a scrap dealer to marrying a beautiful wife and then became a buyer for a steel mill. Not to mention that his wife is beautiful, she is also rich and willing to spend money on him. Why doesn't this good thing happen to them?

"Why do you care when I get up? I'm lucky, I can do whatever I want. Hurry up, or you'll be late!

Someone looked at the man and reminded him.

"Oh, I really envy him! We should work hard, maybe we can be like him in the future."

Regardless of whether the people in the courtyard are envious or not, Sha Zhu’s face is already hideous with jealousy.

Standing behind the crowd, looking at Li Wenqiang's energetic and happy appearance, he felt his heart aching, and his mind came back to what Qin Jingru said to him the night before.

"Silly Zhu, don't be so greedy. I won't choose you even if I want to be Li Wenqiang's concubine. If you want to date me, just dream on!"

When he thought of this, Sha Zhu felt like he wanted to pick up two kitchen knives and chop Li Wenqiang into minced meat. He also felt inferior in his heart. Why did all these women like that pretty boy, but no one liked him? Jealousy made him unrecognizable.

"Zhu Zi, are you okay?"

An old lady saw that something was wrong with Shazhu and came over to ask with concern.

"Auntie, I'm fine!"

Sha Zhu forced a smile, which was uglier than crying.

"Hey, Zhuzi, don't think too much. Failure is the mother of success. Qin Huairu's sister didn't like you, she is unlucky. Don't think too much. I also have good news to tell you. Your third uncle's school has a new overseas returnee, a beautiful female teacher. I told her to introduce her to you if she has the chance!"

An auntie said with a smile.

"Really, Auntie? Then I really have to thank you. You are simply the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. Your news is so timely! Where is she? When will she come?"

Sha Zhu said excitedly.

The last time Qin Jingru rejected him, her voice was quite loud. Everyone in the courtyard knew about it, and he had become a big joke in the courtyard.

"I haven't told you yet. I'll ask your third aunt later."

The first aunt shook her head and said that she had heard this from others by accident, and whether it was feasible or not would depend on whether the third aunt could ask the third uncle.

"Okay, you don't have to go! I'll go and ask him now."

Sha Zhu volunteered.

After saying that, he limped back into the house. After a while, he came out with a small bag of potatoes and dried sweet potatoes, and walked towards the front yard with a smile on his face.

Seeing Sha Zhu regain his spirits, Auntie was both happy and a little worried. She and Uncleie had seen all the bad things Qin Huairu had done, and they really couldn't bear to see him get involved with the Qin family, so they hoped that his blind date would go smoothly.

Yan Jiecheng has been feeling both proud and depressed these days. He is proud that his tricycle is finally ready, but he is depressed that his parents are collecting debts from him again.

Under the pressure of huge debt, he signed an unequal contract. He used the tricycle as collateral to pay the debt, and then he rented the right to use the tricycle for five yuan a month, without having to share the profit with his family. Food, rent, utilities, etc. were calculated separately.

In this case, he calculated, a dozen dollars a month would be enough, which was much more cost-effective than before, but he still felt resentful.

In order to reassure him, the third uncle had already told him that he would introduce a female teacher from their school to him as his wife. Instantly, all the resentment in his heart disappeared without a trace, and he was left with only a silly smile on his face.

"Boss, don't say that I, as your father, didn't take care of you. When we invite Teacher Ran home, we have to treat her well. We can't afford the food ourselves, right? We're doing this for you. How about you give your mom two dollars and buy something to treat her well?"

The third uncle looked at Yan Jiecheng and said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem. As long as you call the person over, I'll give you the money later!"

Yan Jiecheng said this with gritted teeth, but in his heart he thought that this old guy was really a piece of shit, actually wanting to collect such money.

"That's right! Give the money to your mother later. I will definitely be able to call her over in two days at most. Just wait!"

The third uncle said proudly.

Just when he was happy, Sha Zhu's voice came from outside.

"Uncle, are you home? I have something to ask you!"

The third uncle's family looked at each other, feeling very strange. Didn't this idiot Zhu have a falling out with their family before? How could he have the nerve to come here?
