Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 367 It’s settled
"dad!"

When Yan Jiecheng saw Yan Bugui like this, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

In fact, if there was any other way, he didn't want to continue borrowing money from others to gamble.

Moreover, he couldn't control himself and gambled with others in order to make more money. The more he gambled, the more he lost, and the more he lost, the more he gambled, and finally he ended up in this situation today.

If God could give him another chance, he would definitely not gamble again.

It’s a pity that there is no way to change all this.

"okay!"

Yan Bugui's expression turned cold, and then he shouted angrily: "Go to work in the factory right now. If I find out that you gamble again, I will break your legs!"

"I"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but looking at Yan Bugui's eyes full of disgust, disappointment and anger, he didn't know what to say.

In the end, he could only nod silently, then turned and walked towards the steel mill.

Yan Bugui stood there, watching Yan Jiecheng's leaving back, his expression becoming somewhat uncertain.

Originally, he was a little worried, so he secretly followed Yan Jiecheng out, wanting to see if Yan Jiecheng would go back to gamble.

The result made him very disappointed and worried.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed Yan Jiecheng to work in the factory to earn money, he would probably have wanted to lock Yan Jiecheng up directly.

Thinking that the money he lent to Yan Jiecheng would take at least a dozen years to pay back, he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

He can't always be with Yan Jiecheng for such a long time, right?

Thinking of this, his face suddenly became solemn, and then he racked his brains, trying to find a good way that would save him a lot of trouble and effort.

However, no matter how he thought about it, he still couldn't come up with a better solution.

The only feasible option is for him to pick up and drop off Yan Jiecheng to and from get off work every day.

However, if he did that, he would be in great trouble.

While he was shaking his head and sighing while rushing to school to work, Yan Jiecheng also went to work at the steel rolling mill obediently and did not sneak into the underground gambling house again.

In fact, he was not afraid that Yan Bugui would break his legs. He just felt that he had to find Yu Li first and have a good talk with her.

Otherwise, if Yu Li, in a fit of impulse, told the factory leaders about his gambling, even if he could really borrow money to make up his investment in the future, he would lose his job.

By then, he will still be disliked by Yu Li.

Soon, in the blink of an eye, it was evening.

As usual, Li Guoqiang rode his tricycle from Xiangmi Zhai, taking Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others back to the courtyard. Then he did not return to the house, but went directly to Sha Zhu's house.

At this time, Sha Zhu was eating a plate of pork head and drinking the aged wine that Li Guoqiang gave him.

When he was in high spirits after drinking, he would hum a few tunes, and his life was so happy.

When he saw Li Guoqiang coming, he didn't react for a moment. It was not until Li Guoqiang gently placed a small stack of banknotes in front of him that he suddenly reacted.

"Hey! You really brought me the money?"

"if not?"

When Li Guoqiang heard what Sha Zhu said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then said unhappily: "We have already signed the contract, you don't want to regret it now, do you?"

"That won't happen!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "A man's words are as good as his words. Since I said I would sell the house to you and you've paid the money, let's go to the housing management office tomorrow to handle the transfer."

"That's pretty much it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang immediately nodded with satisfaction and spoke.

In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that Sha Zhu’s house, including the deaf old lady’s house, were all private properties and could be transferred directly, he would not have spent so much money to buy them!

However, in order to avoid making the neighbors jealous, he had to follow the words of the gatehouse and the two back houses and tell them that the house was lent to their family by Sha Zhu.

After finishing the business, he was just about to say goodbye and go back to eat when he was suddenly stopped by Sha Zhu.

"Hey, Qiangzi, has Xiaofu received any letters from the south recently?"

"I'm not sure about this, I'll ask for you later!"

Li Guoqiang paused, then shook his head and spoke.

"Row!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, then he nodded and said, "Then ask for me later."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass somewhat dully, tilted his head back and poured the wine into his mouth.

It was obvious that he was thinking about his daughter-in-law and son.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang didn't know how to comfort Sha Zhu for a moment.

Although Sha Zhu could live a good life by eating gigolo food once Lou Xiao'e came back, he would have to wait at least eight or nine years.

If Sha Zhu had been living alone for such a long time, who knows what kind of problems he would have developed!

Thinking of this, Li Guoqiang remembered that he was going to find a matchmaker to introduce Xu Yuchang and others to someone. Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind, and he hurriedly said, "Well, Uncle He, how about I ask the matchmaker to find you a partner?"

"What?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You said you wanted to find a partner for me?"

"That's right!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then said seriously: "As long as you are willing, I promise to find you a girl with good conditions in all aspects."

"this."

When Sha Zhu saw how confident Li Guoqiang was, and thought about how Li Guoqiang always seemed to be very reliable, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant for a moment.

Although he is always thinking about Lou Xiao'e and his son, he doesn't know when Lou Xiao'e will bring his son back.

Moreover, now that he is alone every night, it is inevitable that he still finds it difficult to sleep, and he often needs to drink some alcohol before he can fall asleep.

If he could find someone who satisfies him in all aspects and provides him with a warm bed, the thought of it makes him yearn for it and feel excited.

"okay!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly amused when he saw Sha Zhu's expression, then he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's settled. I'll tell you when the matchmaker finds a girl."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Sha Zhu to say anything.

In fact, the main reason why he did this was that after spending some time with Sha Zhu, he found that Sha Zhu was not a bad person. Therefore, he wanted to help Sha Zhu.

As for whether Sha Zhu will choose to marry his new partner or continue to wait for Lou Xiao'e to come back, that is not something he should worry about.

Sha Zhu looked at Li Guoqiang's disappearing back, and his heart suddenly became conflicted.

Logically speaking, since Lou Xiao'e has given birth to a son for him, then Lou Xiao'e is his wife, and he should wait for Lou Xiao'e to come back.

But, what if Lou Xiao'e never comes back, wouldn't the rest of his life be wasted?
After thinking it over, he finally decided to wait and see.

If Li Guoqiang can really find him a partner who satisfies him in all aspects, then he will try to get along with the other person.

If Li Guoqiang can't help him find a satisfactory partner, then he doesn't need to worry so much.

At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea about Sha Zhu's little tricks. He returned home, sat down to eat, and told his family about buying a house with Sha Zhu.

"what?"

When Yao Meilan heard this, she immediately asked in surprise, "You bought Yushui's house and the deaf old lady's house from Shazhu?"

"Yup!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then explained softly, "We were talking about this before, I don't know how it got to this point, then he named the price and I paid it, and it was done."

"That"

Yao Meilan frowned, then said worriedly, "If the people in the hospital knew about this, would there be any trouble?
Among them, Yu Shui’s house was easier to deal with, but the deaf old lady’s house was a bit difficult to deal with.

After all, she has only just gotten old, and if we buy the house right away, it will easily lead to gossip."

"fine!"

Li Guoqiang waved his hand, then laughed and said, "When the time comes, we can say that we borrowed it from Uncle He. It won't be too late to buy it when there is a suitable opportunity in the future."

"Fine!"

When Yao Meilan heard what Li Guoqiang said, she thought that everything had been done, so she stopped worrying and simply nodded and agreed.

"correct!"

At this moment, Li Guoqiang suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Mom, Sister Juan, when you are free these few days, go and clean and decorate the house first, and then let Xiuzhen and Qiaoyan move in."

Hearing this, Shang Xiuzhen and the others immediately became anxious. Without waiting for Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan to say anything, they hurriedly said, "No, Brother Qiangzi, we are living well here now, why do you want us to move out?"

"Yes! Brother Qiangzi, you are not annoying us, are you?"

"no!"

When Li Guoqiang heard Shang Xiuzhen and the others say this, he was happy, then he quickly shook his head and explained: "I asked you to move in just to occupy the house and prevent people from having any improper thoughts.

Besides, you can’t still live together when you both have kids next year!"

After hearing this, Shang Xiuzhen and others finally understood what Li Guoqiang meant, and they instantly felt relieved.

At the same time, they also felt warm in their hearts for Li Guoqiang's intentions.

It was worth it that they did not want a formal status and followed Li Guoqiang secretly. Now that they are still so far away from giving birth, Li Guoqiang has already helped them solve the problem of where they will live in the future.

Just as they were thinking about rewarding Li Guoqiang later, Zhao Qiuyan, who was sitting on the other side having dinner with Luo Guofu, was feeling extremely envious.

Think about Luo Guofu's performance, and then look at Li Guoqiang's performance. It's true that if you compare goods, you will throw them away, and if you compare people, you will die!
If there is someone who treats her like this, then what's the harm in letting her be the mistress?

It's a pity that she can't compare with Shang Xiuzhen and others, either in terms of background or figure and appearance. Even Wu Zhaodi, who looks the most ordinary among them, is a little prettier than her.

Therefore, while she was envious, she could only secretly lament that she had a bad life.

As for Luo Guofu, he didn't have any special feelings about Li Guoqiang buying a house.

After all, in his heart, Li Guoqiang was already very powerful, and buying a few houses now was just a routine operation.

In comparison, he was more concerned about his illness and when it would be cured.

So, after finishing his meal, he hurriedly asked Li Guoqiang to give him acupuncture.

Li Guoqiang naturally did not refuse. He quickly went back to his room to get the acupuncture kit, then went to the gatehouse and gave Luo Guofu an acupuncture treatment.

At the same time, he did not forget to take Luo Guofu's pulse and check the progress of his treatment over the past two days.

"How's it going?"

When Luo Guofu saw Li Guoqiang finish taking his pulse, he couldn't help but ask, "Is my illness better?"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then said seriously: "Your illness has indeed improved a little. As long as you can keep doing it, I believe you will be cured soon."

"real!"

Hearing this, Luo Guofu was suddenly delighted, and then he quickly praised: "I knew you could do it."

"All right!"

Li Guoqiang saw Luo Guofu's happy spirit, smiled slightly, and then gently warned him: "Don't be too happy too soon, as the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes away like pulling a thread.

It's only a small effect now, and it's still a long way from being completely cured! You can't let your guard down and do something wrong.

Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to treat in the future.”

"hey-hey!"

When Luo Guofu heard this, the smile on his face froze, and then he nodded somewhat angrily and said, "I know."

After saying that, he couldn't help but think of a beautiful girl he had just met today when delivering a letter, and felt a little itchy in his heart.

"Okay, lie down and rest for a while, then take the medicine and go to bed early."

After a while, Li Guoqiang helped Luo Guofu remove the needle, then gave him some instructions and got up and walked out, completely unaware that Luo Guofu had found a new lover.

Meanwhile, Yu Li had just finished dinner at her parents' home when she was pulled into the room by her sister Yu Haitang. She asked in amazement, "Sister, why do I feel like you seem to be getting younger? And your skin seems to be much better than before. What's going on?"

"what?"

Yu Li was slightly stunned when she heard it, and then after she realized it, she couldn't help but pretend to be confused and said with a guilty conscience: "Really? Why don't I feel that way?"

After she finished speaking, the scene of farming with Li Guoqiang emerged in her mind, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"wrong!"

When Yu Haitang saw Yu Li's reaction, she immediately asked suspiciously, "Sister, are you hiding something from me?"
