Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Zheng Tong raised his hand and pointed at the new energy vehicles occasionally passing by on the road in the distance, and said slowly: "See, new energy vehicles are quite rare nowadays. We want to experience them, but it's hard to get tickets.

You, go get us a ticket for a new energy vehicle. As long as you get this done, we can settle our affairs. The evidence will naturally be returned to you."

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed and secretly complained in his heart. There were not many new energy vehicles, and tickets were even harder to come by. Where could he get a ticket?
But if he didn't agree, Zhong Yuemin and the others would definitely not give up. He gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Zheng... Zheng Tong, you are making things difficult for me. It's not that easy to get a new energy vehicle ticket, but... but I can try my best, but I can't guarantee that I can get it."

Zheng Tong's face darkened, he glared at Yan Jiecheng and said, "Humph, Yan Jiecheng, I don't care what method you use, you have to get this ticket for us anyway. This is your only chance. If you can't do it, huh, then you can weigh the consequences yourself."

Yan Jiecheng was so frightened that he nodded and said, "Yes... yes, I... I will try my best. You... you must keep your word. When I get the ticket, you must return the thing to me."

Zheng Tong waved his hands impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense and do it quickly. We don't have that much patience to wait for you. You'd better be quick."

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng felt as if he had been pardoned. He turned around and wanted to leave immediately, thinking that if he agreed first, he could slowly find a way to delay time. Maybe if he delayed, he could get away with it. But he had just taken a few steps.

Zhong Yuemin blocked his way again, his eyes revealing unquestionable severity, and warned him in a cold tone: "Yan Jiecheng, listen to me carefully, I will only give you two days to get that new energy vehicle ticket. If you can't do it within these two days, then you know the consequences.

Also, don't try to delay us. I'm watching you. If I find out that you have any tricks, don't blame me for being rude."

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. His plan to delay the incident was exposed. He felt scared and helpless. He had originally thought of delaying the incident to avoid it, but now it seemed that there was no way out. If he really angered Zhong Yuemin, he would be in big trouble.

He stood there, sweat pouring down his forehead, his legs a little weak, hesitant for a moment, could only bite the bullet and nodded repeatedly in response: "Yes... yes, Zhong Yuemin, I... I understand, I will definitely not delay, I will do my best to get the ticket within two days, you... you can rest assured, I... I dare not play tricks."

Zhong Yuemin snorted coldly and looked Yan Jiecheng up and down. His eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts. Then he slightly stepped aside to make way for him and said, "Humph, that's the best. Go quickly. I'm waiting for your good news."

Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to delay any longer, so he lowered his head and left quickly in dejection. As he walked, he was worried about where he could get the ticket for the new energy vehicle in the next two days.

He knew very well that with Li Weidong's personality, it was impossible for him to give him the bus ticket. After much thought, Yan Jiecheng decided to turn to Yu Li this time.

Yu Li has a gentle personality and usually seems to be easy to talk to. Maybe I can find a breakthrough from her and save myself this time.

Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng smiled bitterly twice.

He never thought that he would have to ask Yu Li for help.

"Oh my Yu Li!"

With a sigh, Xie Cheng went to the supply and marketing cooperative and carefully selected a box of "Colorful and Red" rouge and a box of vanishing cream, thinking that women always love these things, and giving this as a gift might make Yu Li relent. Then, he ran to Daoxiang Village to buy some exquisite snacks, and then he carried a lot of bags and walked towards Li Weidong's house with a nervous mood.

Arriving at Li Weidong's door, Yan Jiecheng took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Yu Li was coaxing her child to sleep at the time, and was disturbed by the knock on the door. She was afraid of waking up the child who had finally fallen asleep, so she quickly put the child down, tiptoed to the door, and whispered, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Sister Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng. I want to ask you for help with something." Yan Jiecheng also replied in a low voice.

When Yu Li heard that it was Yan Jiecheng, she immediately frowned. She thought that Yan Jiecheng was always unruly and did all kinds of inappropriate things. He was not a good person. He came all the way here, so he must have no good intentions. But out of courtesy, she slowly opened the door, looked at Yan Jiecheng, and asked in a somewhat cold tone: "Yan Jiecheng, it's so late, what do you want?"

Yan Jiecheng's face was immediately filled with a flattering smile. He quickly handed the things in his hand to Yu Li and said, "Sister-in-law Yu Li, look, I don't mean anything special. I just haven't come to see you for a long time, so I brought you a little gift. Please don't despise it."

Yu Li looked at those things but didn't reach out to take them. Instead, she took a step back and said vigilantly, "Yan Jiecheng, you sell rouge and snacks, why are you giving me these for no reason? If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

Yan Jiecheng smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said, "Sister Yu Li, actually... actually this is what happened.

I've been wanting to try out new energy vehicles lately, but tickets are so hard to get. I know you and Brother Li have a wide network of contacts, so I was wondering if you could help me get one. If you could help me, you'd be a great benefactor to me."

When Yu Li heard this, she understood immediately. It turned out that Yan Jiecheng came here for the train tickets. She felt a little unhappy, thinking that this man was really good at making plans, but it was difficult to refuse directly.

After all, neighbors are always around, so he hesitated and said, "Yan Jiecheng, it's not that easy to get a new energy vehicle ticket. I don't have the ability to do it. You should find someone else to help you. You should take these things back. I can't accept them."

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he was so anxious that he hurriedly said, "Sister Yu Li, please don't be so anxious to refuse. Please think of another way. I really have no other choice but to come to you for help. Please help me this time. I really need the ticket." Yu Li stood there with a look of embarrassment on her face. She was struggling with how to deal with Yan Jiecheng's entanglement. At this time, Sha Zhu came back from get off work. He saw Yan Jiecheng standing at the door of the Li family from a distance, and Yu Li looked embarrassed. He immediately understood that Yan Jiecheng must be up to something bad again.

With Sha Zhu's hot temper, how could he just watch such a thing happen? He immediately became furious and rushed over. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and pushed Yan Jiecheng away.

Yan Jiecheng was caught off guard and staggered, almost falling to the ground. He immediately became angry, widened his eyes, and shouted at Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu, what are you doing? Why did you push me? Are you bored and looking for trouble?"

Sha Zhu snorted coldly, crossed his arms over his chest, stared at Yan Jiecheng without showing any weakness, and asked him loudly: "Yan Jiecheng, I want to ask you, what are you doing blocking the door of Li Weidong's house? Look at your sneaky look, you must be up to something bad, I think you have bad intentions and want to scheme against others again!"

Yan Jiecheng was speechless when asked by Sha Zhu. He thought to himself that this was not good. He could not explain this matter. If he told the truth and said that he came to ask Yu Li for help to get a new energy vehicle ticket, then Sha Zhu would definitely laugh at him. And if the news got out, who knows how others would look at him. But if he made up a lie, he was afraid that Sha Zhu would find out on the spot, which would be even more embarrassing.

He stood there, opened his mouth, and stammered, "I... I just came to visit and chat with Sister Yu Li. There's not as much as you said, Sha Zhu, please don't slander me."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he curled his lips in disdain and said, "Visiting? Are you kidding me? How can you visit like that? Look how embarrassed you made Yu Li. If you hadn't done anything bad, would Yu Li have such an expression? Don't try to quibble. Tell the truth quickly, or I will be rude to you."

Yan Jiecheng felt so aggrieved when he heard this, but he couldn't tell the truth. After all, if this matter got out, he would be so embarrassed, and who knows how much trouble it would cause. He gritted his teeth, glared at Sha Zhu, and said angrily: "Humph, Sha Zhu, don't be so arrogant, I don't want to bother with you, you are awesome today, let's wait and see!" As he said that, he threw his sleeves, turned around and ran away angrily, his back looked like a defeated rooster, ashamed.

Sha Zhu watched Yan Jiecheng run away, then turned around and looked at Yu Li. The anger on his face had not completely dissipated, but his tone was much gentler, and he said, "Sister-in-law Yu Li, don't take this to heart. Yan Jiecheng is not a good person. He is always thinking about how to take advantage of others and scheme against others.

If he comes to trouble you again, please don't hesitate to tell me as soon as possible, and I will deal with him. We will never let him bully our family members."

Yu Li felt grateful after hearing this, and she smiled and said, "Shazhu, thanks to you, if you hadn't come back in time, I really don't know how to get rid of him.

This Yan Jiecheng is really a worry, always thinking of some evil ideas. I didn't want to get involved in his affairs, but it's not easy to just drive him away. Thanks to you for stepping in."

Sha Zhu waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "Sister-in-law, why are you being so polite to me? This is what we should do. We are neighbors and we should take care of each other. If something like this happens again in the future, you must not bear it by yourself. I can't stand people like him who are calculating. If I knew about it, I would definitely not stand by and watch."

Yu Li nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, silly Zhu, I'll remember it. I feel more at ease with what you said. By the way, you just got back from get off work, you must be exhausted, go home and rest."

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go back first. You should go back to the house quickly too, so that the child won't catch a cold. Just let me know if you have any problems." Then he turned around and walked back home, his steps were particularly powerful.

He knew that after Han Zhizhi knew about this, she would definitely praise him for doing a good job.

On the other hand, Yu Li knew that Li Weidong had a bad impression of Yan Jiecheng, so after Li Weidong came back, she did not tell Li Weidong about this.

Yan Jiecheng was not able to get the new energy vehicle ticket, and he was always worried, but he was also hoping that he could delay it for a while. On the third day, when he was about to go out, he was suddenly stopped by Zhong Yuemin as soon as he walked outside the courtyard.

Zhong Yuemin crossed his arms, staring at Yan Jiecheng with a cold look in his eyes. He asked, "Yan Jiecheng, where's the bus ticket? I gave you two days. You should have gotten it done."

Yan Jiecheng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately put on a flattering smile and said quickly: "Zhong Yuemin, look at what's going on. It's really hard to get a ticket for a new energy vehicle. I've been asking around these past two days, but there's no definite news. But don't worry, I'll definitely get it in a few days. Just give me a few more days. I promise I'll keep my word."

Zhong Yuemin frowned slightly after hearing this. He felt that Yan Jiecheng was definitely not telling the truth and was deliberately stalling for time. His eyes were full of suspicion. After looking Yan Jiecheng up and down, he snorted coldly and said, "Yan Jiecheng, I think you are not honest. Do you really think I am easy to fool? But I don't want to argue with you today. I will trust you again, but you'd better not play tricks on me. If you can't give it to me next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

When Yan Jiecheng heard that Zhong Yuemin had let him go, he was so delighted that he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Zhong Yuemin, don't worry, I dare not play tricks on you. I will definitely seize the time and will definitely not let you down. Thank you for giving me another chance."

Yan Jiecheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after Zhong Yuemin turned around and left. In fact, he had never intended to really get the train ticket. He thought that as long as he could successfully get a job at the match factory, he would stay in the factory all day and try to avoid Zhong Yuemin. He believed that he would not be able to wait at the factory gate every day to cause trouble for him.

In the following days, Yan Jiecheng lived in fear. In order to avoid Zhong Yuemin, he would quietly get up before dawn, when it was still dark outside and the whole courtyard was immersed in silence, and go out to the match factory.

When he arrived at the factory, he tried to keep a low profile. After finishing his work, he would hide in a corner, always paying attention to the movements around him, for fear that Zhong Yuemin would suddenly appear and cause trouble for him.

After finally getting off work, he didn't dare go home immediately, and always lingered in the factory for a long time. When it was dark and the number of pedestrians on the street became sparse, it was almost midnight before he walked cautiously towards the courtyard. (End of this chapter)
