Get something in the courtyard

The three-court trial began, and everyone's eyes were on the two of them.

In the past, they were the ones who led the group against others. But things have changed, and now it’s their turn.

"Old Liu, Old Yan, please tell us why you did such a shameful thing?"

With Yi Zhonghai's support, Yan Jiecheng and his companions became more confident and took turns teaching Yan Bugui a lesson.

"Dad, look at what you've done."

"Yes, I'm panicking for you."

Even the third aunt felt ashamed: "Old Yan, how can I face people in the future?"

The second aunt pointed at Liu Haizhong but couldn't say a word. Even if she didn't say anything, everyone knew what she was going to say.

Yi Zhonghai was more confident when he saw the performance of these two families. In order not to be forced to work by Qin Huairu in the future, he worked hard to blame Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

"Listen to this. If others knew that we forced the elderly to pick up rags, how would they look at us? They would stab us in the back."

While teaching the two men a lesson, he did not forget to deceive the people in the hospital and morally blackmail those present.

At this moment, he regretted not having someone inform Sha Zhu. He wanted Sha Zhu to have a good look at the miserable state of the courtyard. He didn't believe that Sha Zhu could still sleep well after seeing it.

I'm old and my brain isn't working anymore. I've never made a mistake like this before.

While Yi Zhonghai was summing up the lessons here, Yan Bugui began to fight back.

"How did Lao Liu and I embarrass ourselves? We make money based on our own abilities, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

Liu Haizhong had no intention of stealing the limelight at this moment, and followed Yan Bugui and said, "That's right, we use our labor to exchange for compensation, how can it be shameful? There are many people doing this outside, and no one has ever said that they are shameful."

Qin Huairu asked curiously, "Uncle, do you make money from this?"

Yan Bugui saw Qin Huairu's sparkling eyes and knew that she was moved. As long as Qin Huairu was dealt with, Yi Zhonghai would not have any problems. Yi Zhonghai had already stopped, and the others in the courtyard could not make any waves.

"Lao Liu and I are not in a hurry and work calmly. We have made some contributions to the city's appearance. The money we earn in one month is equivalent to two months' pension."

Qin Huairu's eyes were like the low beam lights of a car turning into high beam lights: "So many. Uncle, tell us about it."

Yi Zhonghai coughed twice in dissatisfaction: "Huai Ru, don't listen to their nonsense. According to him, you can make a fortune by picking up rags. You two should stop spreading rumors in the courtyard."

Qin Huairu didn't want to offend Yi Zhonghai, so she decided to ask Yan Bugui privately. The money she earned was higher than her salary.

Liu Haizhong was a little angry and said, "Old Yi, you are the one who is misleading people with lies. Old Yan and I are just picking up rags, what can you do to us?"

Yi Zhonghai felt a little lonely, so he turned to ask Yan Jiecheng and the others: "Old Liu's children haven't come back. Old Yan is your father. What do you think?"

Yan Jiecheng and the others looked at each other and still felt that it was shameful for Yan Bugui to do this.

So several people continued to object.

Yan Bugui snorted: "If you don't want me to do this, that's fine. I will solve the problem of your mother's retirement.

Your mother and I were hospitalized, and you all stayed away from us, not paying a penny. Your mother and I have no savings left, and we have to rely on my pension money to survive. Now everything is going up in price, except wages.

Your mother and I don't dare to get sick. If we catch a cold, our pension will not be enough. I can quit, but you have to send us pension money on time."

It is impossible to send money, even if you kill me.

What is the rule of the old Yan family? Be self-reliant. No matter how old you are, as long as you are breathing, you must take care of yourself.

"Dad, this is not the rule in our family."

"Yes. We don't have such a rule in our family. As soon as we brothers learned to run, we had to find a way to support ourselves. Now that you have hands and feet, you can still make money."

Yan Bugui asked back: "I am making money now, am I not? You despise me for seeing rags and shame, but you are unwilling to pay for them, that's fine. Find me a job, and I will make money to support myself, that's all right!"

When they heard about looking for a job, the Yan family children all looked at Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiefang and his friends worked for others and got a fixed salary. Only Yan Jiecheng opened a restaurant.

Yan Jiecheng certainly understood what this meant, and quickly said, "Don't look at us. I don't even know where to find a job right now."

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened immediately. He felt that Yan Jiecheng was not filial and scolded him, "Nonsense. Everyone in the hospital knows that you opened a restaurant and your business is quite prosperous."

Yu Li quickly explained: "Uncle, what you said is outdated. We did run a small restaurant before. But the landlord saw that our business was good, so he raised the rent. Our restaurant has been closed for a long time."

Yan Jiecheng said, "If you don't believe me, you can go to my restaurant and take a look. Everything inside has been sold."

Yi Zhonghai stared at the two men for a while, and seeing that they showed no guilt at all, he knew that they were not lying.

The family rules of the Yan family were set by Yan Bugui, who knew very well that it was very difficult to get money from his sons. Even if he forced them to agree, it would be useless. He taught the Yan family all the tricks of cheating.

"That's enough. The neighbors in the courtyard are also aware of my and Lao Liu's situation. Ran Qiuye helped pay for our wife's medical expenses. If we don't find a way to make money, we will have no way to survive. We will blame anyone who tries to stop us from making a living."

Liu Haizhong became Yan Bugui's staunch ally at this time and stood beside him: "What Old Yan said is what I want to say."

Everyone just came to watch the fun and did not stop the two people's ideas. When they heard that they were going to be relied on, they wanted to back off.

Yi Zhonghai was isolated and helpless, so he had to give up and return home in disappointment.

Qin Huairu followed Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong with a smile on her face: "Second uncle, third uncle, is it really that profitable to pick up junk?"

Yan Bugui certainly understood her thoughts, so he said, "Qin Huairu, if I don't make money, what do you think I will do? Lao Liu and I are old and can't walk too far. If we had a car, we would definitely make more money. Look, this is what Lao Liu and I sold today."

He took out a handful of money from his pocket, and Liu Haizhong also took out some money.

The third aunt excitedly counted Yan Bugui's money, and the second aunt also picked up the money earned by Liu Haizhong.

Qin Huairu had no chance to touch the money, and could only watch with envy. Listening to the sound of the third aunt counting money, her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.

"Uncle, tell me the truth. Our family is in such a bad situation that we can't make ends meet anymore. I also want to... Don't worry, I won't compete with you for territory."

The two also knew that there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so they told Qin Huairu the whole situation.

Qin Huairu was enlightened and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that picking up junk can make so much money now."

Liu Haizhong said, "Yes. It's Lao Zhang who collects our stuff. He rides his tricycle every day, collects junk and sells it to the scrap yard. He makes more money than us."

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up even more. Speaking of tricycles, their family also had one. Originally, Banggeng took Yi Zhonghai to work. Later, when the family made money, they threw it aside. (End of this chapter)
