Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1075 Yan Jiecheng's Ghost Idea

After Xiaodang and Yan Jiefang got married, they left the Jia family and lived in the Yan family.

The days seemed to pass peacefully, but troubles came unexpectedly.

That day, the third uncle took advantage of Xiaodang going to work and called Yan Jiefang into the house.

Yan Jiefang walked into the room confused and asked respectfully, "Uncle, what do you want from me?"

The third uncle narrowed his eyes slightly, cleared his throat and said, "Jiefang, you and Xiaodang are married, and Xiaodang lives at home now.

We have a big family and the expenses are high. So, starting from this month, you have to pay an extra ten dollars for living expenses. "

When Yan Jiefang heard this, he immediately frowned, "Uncle, this is unreasonable. Xiaodang and I just got married, and we don't have much money. Besides, how can you suddenly ask for ten more dollars? This ten dollars is not a small amount.

Look, how much does a pound of pork cost now? These ten yuan can buy many pounds of pork. Our salaries are not high, and we have to plan our spending every month. Take our meals for example, we don’t eat much, and Xiaodang’s appetite is small. And we are usually very frugal and don’t waste food, water, electricity, etc. These ten yuan are really too much. "

The third uncle said slowly, "Liberation, think about it, Xiao Dang is living here now, so we have to use more food, water, electricity, etc. Look, let's talk about food, for example, before, we only used a certain amount of rice and noodles in our house in a month, but now that Xiao Dang is here, it will definitely be consumed faster.

And the vegetables, don't we have to buy more? That costs money. And the water, Xiao Dang uses to wash clothes, take a bath, etc., which requires water. And the electricity, if one more person turns on the light at night, more electricity is used. Ten yuan is really not much."

Yan Jiefang said hurriedly, "Uncle, you can't say that. Although Xiaodang is one more person, it doesn't cost so much extra money. For example, we are very economical with water and won't waste it. Besides, we don't need to wash clothes and take a bath every day. As for electricity, we won't light the lights for a long time at night. Besides, we usually help with housework, which can be regarded as our contribution to the family. This ten yuan is really too much, can't you ask for less?"

The third uncle shook his head firmly, "No, ten yuan cannot be less. This is all for the good of the family. If you don't pay, Xiaodang will have a hard time at home in the future, right? Think about it, everyone has contributed to this family, and you are no exception.

Look at the Li family next door. After their son got married, they also paid more for living expenses. Our ten dollars is really not much."

Yan Jiefang felt helpless, as he knew that the Third Uncle was always shrewd and once a decision was made it would be difficult to change it.

But he really didn't want to pay the extra ten yuan, so he tried to negotiate with the uncle. "Uncle, please be flexible.

It was really not easy when Xiaodang and I first got married.

We will definitely be filial to you in the future, so please don't make things difficult for us."

The third uncle was unmoved, "Jiefang, I'm not trying to embarrass you. I'm also thinking about this family.

If you don't pay the ten dollars, your family will have a hard time in the future. Think about it carefully."

After saying that, the third uncle waved his hand, signaling Yan to go out.

Yan Jiefang walked out of the house helplessly, his heart full of distress, not knowing what to do.

At noon, Yan Jiefang came to the textile factory, his face full of worry. He waited at the factory gate until Xiaodang came out, and then hurried forward. When Xiaodang saw Yan Jiefang, she smiled gently, but when she saw Yan Jiefang's gloomy face, her smile froze slightly.

"Jiefang, what's wrong? What happened?" Xiaodang asked with concern.

Yan Jiefang sighed and said, "Xiaodang, while you were at work, the Third Uncle called me into the house and said that starting from this month, we have to pay an extra ten yuan for living expenses. The reason is that you are living at home now, and the expenses at home have increased. I think this is unreasonable, so I argued with the Third Uncle, but he refused to give in."

Xiao Dang frowned slightly after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Jiefang, since the third uncle said so, let's agree to him. Although ten yuan is not a small amount, we can't quarrel with our family because of this little money. We just got married, and we still have a long time to live in the future. I don't want these things to affect our lives. I just want to live a good life with you and live a good life."

Yan Jiefang looked at Xiaodang in surprise and said, "Xiaodang, this ten yuan is not a small amount. Our salaries are not high, and our lives may become even tighter in the future."

Xiao Dang held Yan Jiefang's hand and said firmly, "Jiefang, it's okay. We will work hard together and everything will be fine. As long as the two of us are together, we can overcome any difficulties. Besides, we can't make things difficult for the Third Uncle. After all, he is doing this for the good of the family."

Yan Jiefang looked at Xiaodang's gentle and firm eyes, and his heart was filled with emotion. He held Xiaodang's hand tightly and said, "Xiaodang, you are so kind. With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything. We will definitely live a good life."

Xiaodang smiled, his eyes full of longing for the future.

Xiaodang happily looks forward to a better life in the future with Yan Jiefang, but she doesn't know that she has been targeted by Yan Jiefang's elder brother Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng had a very hard time recently. He was so tight on money that he didn't even have money to buy alcohol. He was gloomy all day long, racking his brains to think of ways to make money. By chance, he heard that there was a lot of waste cloth in the textile factory. If he could resell it, he would definitely make a lot of money. Once this idea came up, it grew wildly in his mind like a weed.

Therefore, Yan Jiecheng could not wait to go to the factory to find Yan Jiefang. He looked around at the factory gate, looking anxious and expectant. When he saw Yan Jiefang, he hurriedly walked over to him.

"Jiefang, I finally found you." Yan Jiecheng said anxiously.

Seeing his elder brother like this, Yan Jiefang was puzzled, "Brother, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Yan Jiecheng pulled Yan Jiefang aside and said in a low voice, "Jiefang, big brother has been having a hard time lately. I heard that your textile factory has a lot of waste cloth. Can you think of a way to help big brother get some out? We can resell it and make a fortune."

When Yan Jiefang heard this, his face suddenly changed. "Brother, this won't do. The waste fabrics in the factory are handled according to regulations and cannot be resold casually. If this is discovered, it will cause big trouble."

Yan Jiecheng disagreed, "Jiefang, don't be so timid. Let's be careful and we won't be discovered. Please help me this time. I really have no other choice."

Yan Jiefang shook his head firmly, "Brother, this is really not possible. We can't do such illegal things. You should think of other ways."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Jiefang's resolute attitude and felt angry and anxious.

Yan Jiecheng was filled with remorse and resentment when he saw that Yan Jiefang disagreed. He wandered outside the factory for a long time, thinking over and over again, and decided that he couldn't just give up. So he decided to go find Xiaodang himself.

Xiaodang was busy in the workshop when she suddenly saw Yan Jiecheng coming to her. She was very surprised. "Brother, why are you here? What's the matter?" Xiaodang asked in confusion. Yan Jiecheng's face was full of smiles, but his eyes were a little flickering. "Xiaodang, it's like this. Brother has encountered some difficulties recently and urgently needs some money. I heard that your textile factory has a lot of waste cloth, and Jiefang has promised to help me get some out, so he asked me to come to you for help."

Xiao Dang frowned when he heard this. "Brother, this won't work. The factory has a rule that waste fabrics can't be taken out casually. Did Jiefang really agree?"

Yan Jiecheng nodded quickly and said confidently, "It's true. Jiefang told me personally. Xiaodang, please help me this time. I will definitely remember your kindness in the future."

Xiao Dang was a little hesitant. On the one hand, she felt that this was not right, but on the other hand, she did not want to go against Yan Jiefang's wishes. "Brother, I still feel that this is not a good idea. What if we are discovered?"

Yan Jiecheng quickly said, "Don't worry, Xiaodang. We'll be careful and won't be discovered. And this is also to help big brother get through this difficult time. Just give him a hand."

Xiao Dang bit his lip, thought for a while, and finally softened his heart. "Okay, brother, I'll give it a try. But you must be careful and don't get caught."

Yan Jiecheng was overjoyed and said quickly, "That's great, Xiaodang. Don't worry, I will be careful. When I make money, I will thank you very much." After saying that, Yan Jiecheng looked at Xiaodang with anticipation, waiting for her to get out the waste cloth.

Xiaodang knew that it was a bit dangerous to get the waste cloth out.

But Yan Jiecheng is Yan Jiefang's brother after all. If she doesn't help, it would seem too inhumane.

Especially since Xiaodang was responsible for transporting waste cloth.

After get off work, the noise in the workshop gradually died down, and the workers left like birds returning to their nests. But Xiaodang stood there, her heart beating like a drum, and her nervousness and anxiety overwhelmed her like a tide.

Her eyes wandered around in panic and her hands were tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, as if this could give her a little courage.

  She was full of contradictions and struggles. On the one hand, she knew that this was wrong and violated the factory regulations.

On the other hand, Yan Jiecheng is Yan Jiefang's elder brother. He said that Yan Jiefang has already agreed. She doesn't want to make Yan Jiefang embarrassed, and she also wants to help her family through the difficulties.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Xiaodang slowly moved towards the pile of waste cloth.

Every step she took felt like she was stepping on cotton, empty and heavy. She stared at the pile of waste cloth, and the image of Yan Jiecheng's anxious look and her trust in him kept appearing in her mind.

She kept asking herself in her heart, is it really okay to do this? What if I get caught? But when she thought of Yan Jiecheng's helpless look, she felt that she couldn't just sit there and watch.

When Xiaodang came to the waste cloth, his hands trembled even more violently.

She gently reached out her hand and touched the scraps of cloth. The rough cloth seemed to become extremely hot at this moment. She bit her lip, made up her mind, quickly folded some scraps of cloth, and then carefully stuffed them into her backpack.

As she stuffed the stuffing, she looked around nervously, fearing any disturbance.

When Xiaodang was nervously stuffing the waste cloth into her backpack, she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. Her heart suddenly tightened, and she looked up in panic, only to see her co-worker Liu Dahong standing not far away, looking at her in surprise.

Xiaodang's face turned pale instantly, and her mind went blank. But she quickly forced herself to calm down, and tried to force a smile to get through it. "Dahong, why haven't you left yet? You scared me." Xiaodang's voice trembled slightly.

Liu Dahong looked at Xiaodang and her bulging backpack in confusion, "Xiaodang, what are you doing? Why haven't you left yet?"

Xiao Dang hurriedly hid his backpack behind his back and said, "Nothing... nothing, I was just looking for something. I just found it and was about to leave."

Liu Dahong frowned, obviously not believing Xiaodang's words, "Looking for something? What are you looking for at this time? Why does your backpack look so bulging?"

Xiaodang's heart beat faster, and she said hurriedly: "Oh, it's just some of my personal belongings. I'm leaving first, Dahong, see you tomorrow."

After saying that, Xiao Dang hurriedly walked towards the workshop door without waiting for Liu Dahong's response.

Liu Dahong looked at Xiaodang's departing back, his heart full of doubts.

She always felt that Xiaodang's behavior was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

She stood there thinking for a while, and finally shook her head and left the workshop.

Xiaodang was frightened all the way. She didn't know whether Liu Dahong would tell this to others. She was filled with worry and anxiety.

Xiao Dang came to the gate with a backpack containing waste cloth. When she saw the security officer checking the workers' backpacks, she felt a buzzing in her head and felt like she was struck by lightning. Her face turned pale as paper and her heart beat violently as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

At that moment, she instinctively wanted to escape, and her legs involuntarily took a step back. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hands tightly grasped the straps of her backpack, her knuckles turning white from the force.

She stared at the security officers in horror. They were dressed in neat uniforms and had serious expressions. The inspection tools in their hands seemed to be the most terrifying weapons.

Xiaodang felt the air around her become solidified and breathing became difficult. Her throat was dry and she wanted to swallow her saliva but found that she couldn't do it at all.

The workers behind her urged her to go, but she stood there like a petrified man, not knowing whether to go forward or backward. Fear and regret intertwined, she hated herself for being so foolish as to listen to Yan Jiecheng's words.

But there was no way back now. She could only bite the bullet and slowly move forward. Each step was extremely heavy, as if she was walking towards the judgment seat.

At this time, security officer Liu Dazhi was carefully checking the workers' backpacks.

His eyes were sharp, not missing any suspicious points. When he swept his eyes through the crowd, he suddenly found Xiao Dang.

Xiaodang's pale face, slightly trembling body and nervous expression immediately aroused his suspicion.
