Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 691 Nouveau Riche (Second Update)
Old Wang in the front yard completely believed what Wang Dong said.

In his eyes, Wang Dong's achievements are remarkable, both in terms of vision and character, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Since he said that the Wang family could gain some unexpected benefits from this loan, then there must be a surprise waiting for them.

Early the next morning, before Yi Zhonghai could even come to his door, Old Wang knocked directly on Yi Zhonghai's door, promising to lend Bang Geng 1,500 yuan. However, both parties had to sign a loan agreement in the presence of the neighborhood committee and mortgage the property certificate of the east wing of the courtyard house to the neighborhood committee.

If Banggeng fails to repay the loan on time, Lao Wang's family can take the loan agreement signed by both parties and go directly to the street office to transfer the property.

Even if the Jia family wanted to back out at that time, they wouldn't be able to, since the property certificate for the east wing of the central courtyard was mortgaged to the street office.

As long as there is evidence to prove that the house belongs to Lao Wang's family, the street can directly transfer the ownership to Lao Wang's name.

Yi Zhonghai felt that doing this was a bit too troublesome, but when he thought about how the Jia family's reputation in the courtyard was not good, which also affected his own reputation, he realized that the Jia family had every reason not to believe him and would trust the loan agreement in black and white even more, so he didn't say anything.

He instructed Banggeng to take the property certificate to the street office to sign the agreement.

Before noon, Banggeng returned to the courtyard with 1,500 yuan.

Old Wang now has an additional loan and mortgage agreement, and at his request, the Jia family's property certificate is mortgaged to the local street office.

Only if Banggeng repays all the debts within the stipulated time and obtains the loan agreement from Lao Wang can he take home the property certificate that was mortgaged to him.

No sooner had the group returned to the courtyard than Madam Jia Zhang started clamoring for Bang Geng and Qin Huairu to take her to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy New Year's goods.

Yi Zhonghai was worried that he didn't have a chance to go see Xu Damao, so he refused Qin Huairu and Banggeng's invitation without hesitation.

No sooner had Bang Geng and the Jia family left the courtyard than Yi Zhonghai ran to the backyard and knocked on Xu Damao's door.

Half an hour later, he left Xu Damao's house with a satisfied smile.

Xu Damao, who remained in the room, had a smile on his face because he had an extra thousand yuan in capital to start his foreign trade business next year.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Damao's annual profit from smuggling electronic products is at least twice the cost. That is, if he invests 1,000 yuan, he can turn it into 3,000 yuan in a year, directly earning 2,000 yuan.

One thousand yuan goes to the person who invested the money, while the other thousand yuan goes into their own pocket as their hard-earned money.

Therefore, the more money the owner invests in the courtyard house, the more money he can earn through smuggling next year.

It was hard for him not to be happy when Yi Zhonghai offered him money.

Although Yi Zhonghai had a bad relationship with him before, Xu Damao decided to forgive the old man for the sake of money.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Banggeng led the Jia family back to the courtyard. Everyone was carrying a lot of New Year's goods, some carrying them and some carrying them on their backs.

Jia Zhangshi walked at the front of the group, head held high, chest puffed out, as if she had won a battle.

He carried two carp he had just bought in one hand and two old hens in the other, showing them off to everyone he met.

"Teacher Yan's wife...do you have any old hens to eat for Chinese New Year?...My husband Banggeng is making a lot of money outside, and these hens and carp are all gifts he bought for me, his grandmother..."

"Old Li... do you see the big carp in my hand?"

"I spent a long time at the market to buy it... It cost my family ten yuan."

"But my dog ​​has made a fortune outside, he doesn't care about these ten dollars..."

"Did your family manage to snag a big carp for Chinese New Year...?" "A big carp is a must-have on the New Year's dinner table, otherwise it's just too embarrassing..."

"There are still quite a few smaller carp for sale at the market. If you go now, you might still be able to snag one."

"Old Chen's wife..."

"I also bought the pastries you ate yesterday."

“My grandson Banggeng made a fortune outside and bought three whole pounds of pastries to show his respect to his grandma… Your grandson isn’t as filial as my Banggeng, is he…”

Jia Zhangshi boasted all the way.

Just as they were about to enter the backyard through the front yard, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded behind the Jia family. Then they saw He Yuzhu and Er Mao returning, each carrying a snakeskin bag of things, chatting with each other with smiles on their faces.

Jia Zhangshi has suffered a lot of mistreatment from He Yuzhu over the past few years.

After all, He Yuzhu had a deep-seated hatred for both the Jia and Yi families. Whenever he saw something that displeased him in the courtyard, He Yuzhu would hurl insults at Jia Zhangshi.

In addition, Bang Geng, that ingrate, had schemed against He Yuzhu a lot before, mocked He Yuzhu behind his back, and He Yuzhu had also cursed Bang Geng a lot when he was cursing.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu, Jia Zhangshi's first thought was to show off the New Year's goods she had bought in front of him and vent her anger.

By the way, tell He Yuzhu that his grandson Banggeng has made a fortune outside and is more successful than him, a cook who serves others.

He deliberately waited at the door and boasted to He Yuzhu, "Silly Zhu..."

"See the old hen and carp I bought? They're all for the Jia family's New Year's goods this year."

"Bang Geng was also carrying more than ten kilograms of pork on his back, all of it top-quality pork belly..."

"This year, my Jia family's New Year's Eve dinner will definitely be more sumptuous than your He family's..."

"I'm so envious of you..."

"A bad cook, no matter how good his cooking skills are, is still just a servant."

“Nowhere else can compare to my Banggeng’s success. He’s doing foreign trade with Xu Damao, and he’ll become a big boss sooner or later.”

"When my dog ​​becomes rich someday, he might even ask you, this lousy cook, to help him cook..."

"If you serve them well, they might even give you a few dollars..."

"Look at this carp, it weighs at least three pounds..."

"And this old hen, it's been raised in the countryside for at least three years, it's the most nourishing soup... You can't buy it even if you want it."

Suddenly blocked in the courtyard by Jia Zhangshi, this nouveau riche, and then showing off in front of him, He Yuzhu was stunned for a while before he reacted, and then a thoughtful and mocking expression appeared on his face.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was neither provoked nor angry, but instead looked at her with a smiling expression, Jia Zhangshi felt humiliated once again.

"What are you laughing at... Are you envious of my Bang Geng's success, but also a little embarrassed... Let me tell you, even if my Bang Geng becomes rich and a boss in the future, it will have nothing to do with you, Sha Zhu."

"My family's New Year's Eve dinner this year includes an old hen, braised pork, and braised carp... You idiot cook, you don't even have any meat, do you... How about my Jia family gives you a piece of meat?"
