Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 387 You Can't Let Me Go Back on My Word
"okay!"

Seeing Zhen Hexiang crying so sadly, Li Guoqiang frowned slightly, and then hurriedly said to dissuade her: "I say you should stop crying here. If someone hears you, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause!"

Hearing this, Zhen Hexiang's crying suddenly stopped, then she hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears and ran to the door to take a look at the situation outside.

When she found that there was no movement outside the house, she breathed a sigh of relief, then turned back to look at Li Guoqiang with some trepidation, fearing that Li Guoqiang would be even more dissatisfied with her because of her reckless behavior just now.

Fortunately, Li Guoqiang didn't say anything else. He turned around and went into the inner room to help Jiang Xiaohu take out the needle.

Seeing this, Zhen Hexiang hurriedly followed, and when all the silver needles were removed, she walked forward impatiently, hugged Jiang Xiaohu in her arms, and asked softly: "Xiaohu, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"no!"

Jiang Xiaohu shook his head after hearing this, and then said with a bright look on his face: "I feel warm all over my body now, so comfortable!"

"That's good!"

When Zhen Hexiang heard Jiang Xiaohu say this, she immediately felt relieved. Then she looked up at Li Guoqiang with gratitude on her face, and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

However, before she could finish her words, Li Guoqiang had already put away the acupuncture bag, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, that's it for today. You can make some meat soup noodles for Xiao Huzi later. This is nutritious and easier to absorb.

Nothing else, I'll leave first, and come back at the same time tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.

When Zhen Hexiang saw this, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly put Jiang Xiaohu on the bed, got up and chased after him.

"Qiangzi, Qiangzi, wait a moment!"

Hearing the shout, Li Guoqiang paused, then turned around and looked at Zhen Hexiang with a calm expression.

"that."

Zhen Hexiang saw Li Guoqiang's indifferent eyes, her breath choked slightly, then she forced a flattering smile and said, "Qiangzi, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get 500 yuan for you by the end of the year."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded slightly in agreement, then without saying anything else, he quickly turned around and left, leaving Zhen Hexiang alone standing there in a daze.

In fact, she had originally wanted to ask Li Guoqiang to see if he could change the conditions.

However, when she saw Li Guoqiang's indifferent eyes, the words she said changed immediately.

Now, she can only hope that Wu Cai'e can help her persuade Li Guoqiang.

Otherwise, she really couldn't think of any way that would allow her to collect 500 yuan as medical fees for Li Guoqiang before the end of the year.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but think of her husband who was a train chef.

Although they seemed to be a harmonious couple to outsiders, only she herself knew that her husband had already found a mistress in another place and even had a son with her.

The main reasons were that she was unwilling to give up Jiang Xiaohu and give him another son, and also that the couple had been separated for a long time.

Before this, she had never made up her mind to divorce because she didn't want to affect her work and she also needed her husband to give her some money every month for household expenses.

Now that Jiang Xiaohu has been saved, it is time for her to resolve this matter. It would be best if she could get 500 yuan from her husband.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly looked at the calendar, ready to confront her husband when he came back from his shift.

In the evening, in the first apiary of Jinshanbao.

Sun Maocai looked at Li Xiuqin, Ma Guifang and others who came back empty-handed, and an unconcealable disappointment instantly appeared on his face.

Then, without waiting for him to ask, Xu Guanglu took a few quick steps forward and said with a depressed look on his face: "Brother Maocai, I think we should not waste our energy. You don't know that we went into the mountains to look for a long time today, and finally found a few bees, but we lost them after a while."

"Did you find the bees?"

Sun Maocai's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he quickly praised: "Great, doesn't this prove that you have made progress today compared to yesterday? I believe that as long as you stay in the mountains for a while, you will soon be able to dig out beehives from the mountains."

What this meant was that Xu Guanglu, Li Xiuqin and others should try to search in the mountains for a few more days.

Although he no longer had any hope of completing the transaction, if he could dig up some beehives, it would at least allow Zheng Kaitao to see his sincerity, bring them closer together, and lay the foundation for future interactions.

"This"

When Xu Guanglu heard what Sun Maocai said, he couldn't help but frown.

After all, going into the mountains is not a comfortable thing. Not to mention the bites of mosquitoes in the mountains, just walking through the woods and grass is not so comfortable.

It would be fine if there was some gain, but the problem is that all the hard work for the whole day is in vain, which really makes people feel unmotivated.

"Guanglu!"

When Sun Maocai saw Xu Guanglu's expression, his face straightened, and then he said seriously: "Listen to me, I know you have worked hard in the mountains, but whether it is for the future of our brigade's bee farm or to improve the quality of the militia company, it is still necessary to go into the mountains for a while.

By then, if we can really dig up the beehive, then our team won’t have to worry so much about accidents at the apiary!
In fact, we don’t even have to wait for Qiangzi to come back, we can expand the apiary ourselves.”

"Fine!"

After hearing what Sun Maocai had said, Xu Guanglu could only nod and agree.

After all, he also knew that it was quite worrying to entrust the apiary to Li Guoqiang as it was now.

If something happens to Li Guoqiang, for example, he stays in Sijiu City and doesn't come back, they can't just watch the apiary, the hen that lays golden eggs, disappear just like that!
Because of this, he did not delve into the reasons why Sun Maocai actively promoted this matter.

Soon, he and Sun Maocai went to do some ideological work with Li Xiuqin, Ma Guifang and others, and after discussion, they finally decided to go into the mountains for another three days.

If we still can't dig up the beehive by then, then stop doing it.

And if we can dig up a beehive by then, we will naturally keep up the good work and achieve even better results.

Just as Li Xiuqin and Ma Guifang rekindled their fighting spirit and secretly encouraged themselves to come out on top and beat the other, hundreds of kilometers away in Sijiu City, Li Guoqiang, Shang Xiuzhen and others also ended their day's business and rode their tricycles back to the courtyard.

At this time, most of the neighbors in the yard had already returned home from get off work at the factory, including Yan Jiecheng.

It must be said that he had been living a tormented life during this period. He was like a prisoner every day, being monitored by Yan Bugui.

Moreover, Yan Bugui would come to the factory for surprise attacks from time to time, leaving him with no freedom at all.

Besides this, what made him even more upset was that Yu Li moved into Xiangmi Zhai.

Although he and Yu Li were not divorced, it seemed no different now than if they were divorced. As soon as he heard that Li Guoqiang had returned from the countryside, he immediately came out of the house and wanted to talk to Li Guoqiang about Yu Li and ask him not to interfere in their family affairs.

However, before he could reach the Chuihua Gate, he suddenly heard a shout from behind.

"Jie Cheng, where do you want to go?"

"dad!"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his brows furrowed sharply, and then he turned back in a somewhat unpleasant tone and said, "Do you really need to stare at me? It's already dark, where else can I go?"

"Humph!"

Yan Bugui snorted coldly, then said with a straight face: "Do you think I am happy with this? It's because you are not honest. If I hadn't been keeping an eye on you, you might have secretly borrowed money from others at high interest rates to gamble with money one day!"

After saying that, he looked at Yan Jiecheng's face, which was 70% similar to his, and couldn't help feeling a pang of regret.

If he had known this would happen, he should not have paid the money to help Yan Jiecheng pay off his debts.

Now he feels uneasy every day whether he is at work or at home, worrying all the time that Yan Jiecheng will secretly run out to gamble for money.

If this continues, even if Yan Jiecheng doesn't go crazy, he will probably collapse from exhaustion first.

If he really collapses from exhaustion, he will have to pay for his medical treatment himself.

And if you want to get medical treatment, you have to take leave, and your salary will be deducted.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly felt a pang of pain, and the look he gave Yan Jiecheng was as if he wanted to eat him.

"have to!"

Yan Jiecheng saw that Yan Bugui looked extremely distrustful of him, and he knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless, so he nodded and said, "If you like to stare at me, then keep staring!"

After saying that, he wanted to turn around and leave.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, Yan Bugui's eyes narrowed, and then he quickly shouted, "You haven't told me where you're going yet?"

"I'm going to find Qiangzi!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng left a few words without even turning his head, then walked out of the Chuihua Gate in three or two steps.

When Yan Bugui heard this answer, he felt a little relieved. Then, just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he suddenly stopped, then turned around in a hurry and chased after him.

You know, Yan Jiecheng still owes him a lot of money. Even if he wants to pay it back, he has to pay it back to him first, not to Li Guoqiang first.

As for the matter of Yan Jiecheng mortgaging his house to Li Guoqiang, it was not within his consideration for the time being.

Not to mention the repayment period, which is five years later, even if the house is handed over to Li Guoqiang, it would not be a loss.

At worst, Yan Jiecheng can move back into the west wing and live with him and the third aunt, or he can just wait for the unit to allocate housing.

To put it more clearly, he never thought of asking Yan Jiecheng to pay the money back to Li Guoqiang.

Little did they know that this was exactly what Li Guoqiang wanted.

If I really return the money to him, how can he get the house?

Soon, Yan Bugui caught up with Yan Jiecheng, and just as he walked into the courtyard of Li Guoqiang's house, he happened to meet Li Guoqiang who had just come out of the kitchen after washing his face and hands.

"Yo!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows slightly, then laughed and joked, "Uncle San, Brother Jie Cheng, what wind blew you and your son here together?"

"Hadron!"

Yan Jiecheng heard the teasing in Li Guoqiang's words, and immediately couldn't help but glance at Yan Bugui with some dissatisfaction, then he laughed and said, "Well, I came here because I want to discuss something with you."

"What is it?"

Li Guoqiang didn't care much when he heard it and just asked casually.

"that is."

Yan Jiecheng swallowed his saliva, then spoke nervously, "It's your sister-in-law Yu Li. Didn't she move into your Xiangmi Zhai restaurant a few days ago? I was wondering if you could help me persuade her to move back home.

After all, we are a married couple who have been married and have had a wedding. How can we live separately like this? If this gets out, won’t people laugh at us? Don’t you think this makes sense?”

After saying this, he looked at his creditor Li Guoqiang with a flattering expression, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Hearing what he said, Yan Bugui immediately felt relieved, and then quickly spoke up to help, "That's right! Qiangzi, as the saying goes, a couple fights at the head of the bed but makes up at the foot of the bed. Now Jie Chengdu has turned over a new leaf, so you can help him and persuade Yu Li to move back quickly!"

"Feel sorry!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng, father and son, and smiled slightly, then said softly: "I have promised Sister Yu Li that I will not interfere in your family affairs. You can't let me go back on my word, right?"

"Forehead"

When Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui heard this, they were stunned and didn't know how to refute for a moment.

After all, what Li Guoqiang said was right. If they refuted it, wouldn't it mean that they wanted Li Guoqiang to interfere in their family affairs?
"that."

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui didn't say anything and had no interest in wasting time with them, Li Guoqiang hurriedly continued, "I've been busy all day and haven't had time to eat dinner! If there's nothing else, I'll go eat first."

After saying this, he turned around and walked into the house without waiting for Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui, father and son, to respond.

Upon seeing this, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui could not help but look at each other in confusion. After hesitating for a while, they could only turn around and go back home in disappointment.

Since Li Guoqiang doesn't want to help, they can only think of another way to see if they can persuade Yu Li to come back.

When it comes to the issue of Yu Li, both father and son have the same opinion, that is, they must not let such a good daughter-in-law like Yu Li run away.

However, nowadays Yu Li is either working in the factory or hiding in Xiangmi Zhai, and they can’t think of any better solution for the time being.

Li Guoqiang had already forgotten about the father and son, and his attention was all on what Li Dawei said to him.
