Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Chapter 183 New Varieties of Apples

Because Xu Jianshe deliberately stood in the yard and spoke very loudly, Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu in the front yard came over after hearing the noise, and some neighbors who were eavesdropping at the door also walked into the yard to watch the fun.

Xu Wannian felt that his old face had been completely disgraced by his son. As the patriarch of the Xu family, he used to mediate family conflicts in other families. He never expected that his own family would be laughed at by others.

When Xu Jianshe was planning to return to his hometown, he discussed countermeasures with Hu Yingzi. He did not want to reconcile with his parents.

However, having been suppressed by Old Man Xu for too long, Xu Jianshe was still a little timid when he spoke.

Uncle Xu came out to smooth things over, saying, "Jianshe, you haven't been home for such a long time, and your parents are arguing when you come back. Let's go inside and talk. Don't let others laugh at you here."

Xu Jianshe summoned up his courage and said, "You can all testify for me. I came back this time to separate the family from my brother. I know it's wrong for a junior to ask for a separation. But my family situation is special, my parents don't like me, and I don't want to cause trouble for them. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind."

Xu Wannian said angrily: "Shut up, I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to make the decision."

Uncle Xu quickly drove out the neighbors who came to watch the fun, as family disgrace should not be made public.

Living in the front and back yards, he also knew what kind of life Xu Jianshe had lived since childhood. What his elder brother and sister-in-law did was wrong, but what could he do but to keep quiet.

"Jianshe, all ten fingers are not the same length, there is no such thing as absolute fairness. Your parents are the elders, and as the saying goes, there is no parent who is not wrong. You should control your temper."

Xu Wannian was also a little confused at this time. The second son's stubborn request for a division of the family caught him off guard. He was thinking about countermeasures at this time.

Xu Jianshe said sadly: "Uncle and aunt, there is no place for me in this family. You said that drugs can be put into food, how dare I eat at home? I have thought it through, the only way is to separate and live separately. I will give my parents pension money every month. From now on, we will live our own lives."

Why did Xu Jianshe propose to split up the family? Logically speaking, he was now living in the capital, so there was no difference between that and splitting up the family.

Because Xu Huizhen was arranging to buy him a house. If they didn't divide the family, then when he bought the house with the money he had saved up with great difficulty, half of it would still belong to Xu Jianshe. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Xu Wannian slammed the table and yelled, "You're dreaming! Have you grown wings? Believe it or not, I will go to your workplace and sue you for being disobedient and unfilial."

Xu Jianshe: "Go ahead, go ahead. I have been prepared for this move of yours. I have publicized your glorious deeds in the unit to see who everyone supports."

Mother Xu was so angry that she whimpered, slid off the chair, and collapsed on the ground. Xu Jianshe's sister-in-law hurried forward to support her, and did not forget to scold her: "Jianshe, look how angry you made me."

Second Aunt Xu also hurried forward and pinched her Ren Zhong. After a flurry of activity, Old Lady Xu slowly opened her eyes and said tremblingly, "Beast! I just raised a beast!"

I don't know whether Old Lady Xu was really fainted or just pretending to be fainted. But as a son, it's your fault that you made Old Lady fainted due to anger.

After a moment of panic, Xu Jianshe decided to slip away.

He walked out the door silently, and heard Xu Wannian say, "Xu Jianshe, keep your salary for the past six months. Your mother is in poor health and needs money to see a doctor."

Xu Jianshe paused, hesitated for a moment, then walked out the door without looking back, leaving the shouting and insults behind.

Xu Jianshe didn't believe that the family had no money for medical treatment. Before last year, all his salary was given to Xu's mother. And Xu Jianshe had been a worker for so many years, and his wife and children were at home, so it was impossible for him not to pay money home.

The master was still waiting for him in the car. He had to ask the village secretary to load the car quickly and leave quickly, otherwise, when Old Man Xu came to his senses, he might not be able to leave.

After the apples were packed, Xu Jianshe said to the secretary, "Uncle, Sister Huizhen asked you to tell you something. If there is a drought, you must do your best to protect the apple trees. These saplings are very precious."

The secretary said, "Don't worry, I know the severity of the situation. The drought here is not that serious! Besides, our village has a reservoir, and I will definitely not let the fruit trees die of drought."

Xu Jianshe: "Uncle, is there enough food in the village?"

The secretary said: "Our village is still doing well. We have wild vegetables and mountain products, so we are not starving. This is all thanks to the farms on the mountain. We used those pigs and ducks to pay the public grain this year. Otherwise, we would have gone hungry."

Xu Jianshe: "I heard that next year will not be a good year either, uncle, you should be prepared."

Secretary: "Alas, we have finally had a good life for a few years, but God is going to make things difficult for these ordinary people."

As he was speaking, Xu Jianshe saw from afar Xu Wannian leading a few young people walking towards this side.

Xu Jianshe made a prompt decision: "Not good! Master, let's go." He jumped into the driver's seat swiftly and started the car.

Master Guo and the security officer who was following the car also jumped into the car. When Xu Wannian arrived, all that was left for him was the exhaust fumes and the raised dust.

The secretary said helplessly: "Brother, what are you doing? Jian has such a good child! If it were me, I would not be able to bear the pain. But you are pushing him further and further away."

At the steel mill, Director Yang was blocked in his office by a group of people. They were all directors of other factories, logistics directors, etc. Everyone was talking about friendship and friendship. They had only one purpose: to get Director Yang to share some of the profits with them.

The news that the steel mill had beef and mutton had somehow leaked out. The first to come to ask for a share was their immediate superior, the Ministry of Industry. Director Yang discussed with Director Li and gave the Ministry a ton of meat. After all, the leaders of the Ministry of Industry had also contributed to this material exchange, so they should give back what they had gained.

The result is that burning incense attracts ghosts! So many people have come to take advantage of us, what should we do?

Director Yang used the excuse of going to the toilet to run to Director Li's office to hide.

Director Yang: "Director Li, what should I do? Everyone is smelling the meat and coming to beg for alms. I don't even dare to go back to the office."

Director Li was furious: "We took huge risks to get such a small amount of meat. There are more than 8,000 employees in the steel mill. How much can each person get? We still don't have enough to eat!"

Director Yang scratched his head and said, "Who says it's not true?"

At this time, He Yuzhu came in carrying a cardboard box. He saw Director Yang was there too. He was screwed. He flattered his boss and was caught by his boss's boss. Isn't that embarrassing?

Fortunately, He Yuzhu is thick-skinned, so I am not embarrassed, but others are. He said casually: "Director Yang, Director Li, I have some apples here, a new variety, large in size and sweet and sour. Good things must be shared, so I sent them to you, please have a taste."

Director Yang rolled his eyes and said, "He Yuzhu, you were giving it to Director Li to taste. I just happened to be there, so I got a little bit of credit for it, right?"

He Yuzhu chuckled, "We have everything. Director Yang, I'll send your box to your office in a bit. I've prepared everything."
