Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

"So... I really can't help with this right now. You'd better think of another way!"

I think there's nothing wrong with continuing your studies; at least you can get him a diploma!

After graduation, finding a job will be much easier, and who knows, you might even get noticed by a company and be hired on the spot!

Ye Jianchuan's series of words left Uncle Er stunned. Moreover, upon hearing that there were many "connections" in the food factory, Uncle Er became hesitant to let his son get involved.

On the one hand, Uncle Er was indeed aware of his son's character and was afraid that the guy might cause him some trouble again.

On the other hand, Uncle Er was also unwilling for his son's "connections" to be too much better than his own. After all, given his behavior at home, if his son were to become too successful, he would lose his voice in the family.

So after hearing Ye Jianchuan's words, Uncle Er decided not to dwell on the matter any longer. However, Sha Zhu, who was standing to the side, did not understand Ye Jianchuan's actions and instead spoke up.

"Hey, Uncle Er, if you really want Guangtian to find a job, I can help you think of a way."

Our canteen is looking to hire two more general helpers. If Guangtian is willing, he can come and work at our steel rolling mill canteen for a while.

Once he's settled into working in the kitchen, if he wants to learn to cook, I can give him some pointers. If he doesn't want to put in the effort in that area...

The kitchen helper's job involves cleaning, peeling potatoes, moving vegetables, and kneading dough when it's busy. After becoming a full-time employee, they can earn 23 yuan a month!

When Uncle Er heard Sha Zhu still calling him "Uncle Er," his expression turned a little sour. But after hearing what Sha Zhu said next, he immediately forgot about whether he was "Uncle Er" or not.

"A kitchen? A kitchen is great! Can this be settled? My Guangtian is definitely willing to learn to cook! If he can learn from you and become a good cook, he won't have to worry about going hungry in the future!"

Just as Sha Zhu was about to pat his chest and make a guarantee, he saw the look Ye Jianchuan gave him from across the table, and instantly understood. He immediately spoke up.

"Well, I'm not entirely sure about this right now. Here's the thing: I need to discuss it with the cafeteria manager."

The main issue is that I don't know whether the two people they mentioned were recruited publicly or if the leaders were just putting people in there.

If the manager wants to put someone in this spot, then I won't be able to say anything. You know, this kind of thing isn't uncommon in our factory.

Wasn't the fitter position that Zhang Xiangyang vacated immediately filled by a new person? I heard that person is a nephew of Deputy Factory Director Li.

So, even though these extra workstations seem to give us some leverage, the ones who actually have the final say are still the higher-ups, right?

Sha Zhu paused for a moment, then continued, "By the way, Uncle Er...aren't you quite familiar with this Deputy Factory Director Li?"

Why don't you go and ask? If Deputy Factory Director Li speaks up, then the location of the canteen will definitely be a done deal!

.. . .......

It has to be said that after Ye Jianchuan reminded him, this silly Zhu instantly switched from 'silly Zhu mode' to shrewd mode.

Not only did they realize what was going on and start making excuses, but they also knew they should change their address to "Uncle Yi".

After hearing Sha Zhu's words, Uncle Er frowned, then nodded, thinking to himself that he should ask Deputy Factory Director Li for help. He was a "great contributor" in the last incident.

As a result, although he was promoted, he didn't gain any real benefits. Apart from a slight increase of five yuan in his future salary, there were no other improvements.

I'm already earning 77 yuan a month, why would I care about an extra 5 yuan?

So if I ask Deputy Factory Director Li for help again this time, I think he won't refuse me, right?

Although Third Uncle didn't see Ye Jianchuan wink at Sha Zhu, he could tell from Ye Jianchuan's attitude when he mentioned helping earlier.

Although this old man sat down to eat with us and seemed very friendly, he wasn't actually one of our own.

So when Uncle Er was about to say something more, Uncle San interrupted and started talking about other things.

"Jianchuan, I see that Shazhu's life has become much more stable since he got married, and he hasn't caused much trouble lately. Don't you think you should consider it too?"

Chapter 189 Giving Sha Zhu a Lesson

Ye Jianchuan was clearly not expecting to encounter the issue of 'elders urging him to get married' at this time, and he was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer.

Meanwhile, Sha Zhu quickly chimed in, "Jianchuan! You can't do this! Our Yushui is just waiting for you to speak up."

I reckon that as soon as you ask, Yushui will agree without hesitation. At that point, you might even have to contribute some of your own money, let alone the bride price!

Upon hearing Sha Zhu's words, Third Uncle burst into laughter, and Second Uncle beside him also started to join in the commotion. What was supposed to be a nice 'dinner' instantly turned into a marriage-urging event.

So... what did Ye Jianchuan himself think? As for marriage, Ye Jianchuan didn't think much of it; if someone wanted to get married, then so be it.

Anyway, aside from not going all the way with He Yushui on "February 17th", when we went out to watch movies or something, we had already kissed each other.

Moreover, among the women he was relatively close to, Qin Huairu... her situation was quite complicated, but since she had already willingly become his 'external mistress,' there was no need to consider marriage with her.

And what about Lou Xiao'e? She was gone for a full ten years! And... although Lou Xiao'e was busy all night before she left, Ye Jianchuan didn't know whether she actually got pregnant or not.

If Lou Xiao'e leaves after getting pregnant, just like in the original drama, then if she comes back in the future, there's a chance that they can rekindle their romance.

Otherwise... who knows what changes might occur in ten years?

Finally, only He Yushui was left. They were childhood friends, knew each other well, and were all "smart people", so communication was not difficult.

Most importantly, He Yushui is genuinely devoted to him and always puts him first. So it's only natural that Ye Jianchuan and He Yushui end up together.

But is it really necessary to rush into marriage? Ye Jianchuan wasn't sure, after all, there are just too many things to consider after marriage.

First of all, shouldn't we think of a way to find a place to stay?

Although the room Ye Jianchuan is currently living in wouldn't feel too crowded even if another person moved in, what if it gets too cramped later on? What if they have a child or something? This room might really not be enough.

Ye Jianchuan had actually considered this issue. The room in the Central Court was a good target. Although that room was basically the same size as Ye Jianchuan's, it was next to Sha Zhu's house!

Moreover, the house next door is the house where He Yushui currently lives. In other words, He Yushui's house and the original house of Old Chen's family can be considered as one house.

A house with two rooms, one of which is quite spacious, makes it very comfortable.

However, besides the issue of where to stay, there is an even more important problem: the infighting within the courtyard.

After getting married, Ye Jianchuan was no longer a 'lonely man', so he naturally needed to think more carefully about what to do.

At that time, it might not be so convenient for Ye Jianchuan to handle many things, so Ye Jianchuan felt that he should try his best to resolve these troublesome matters before getting married.

For example... Xu Damao, and for example... Uncle Er, these two guys were very active in the coming decade.

If they gain power during those ten years, and then scheme against me and He Yushui together, that would be terrible.

Therefore, Ye Jianchuan felt that now was not a good time to get married.

That's why, when faced with the pressure to get married from the three "heads" of the courtyard, Ye Jianchuan could only keep laughing it off and saying he would postpone it a little.

. . . . . .

The gathering, which ended without any conflict, was over. Because Uncle Er felt that everyone was "one of us," he was quite relaxed and drank more than one of the three bottles of wine by himself.

After drinking so much, Uncle Er was naturally quite tipsy, so after they had eaten and drunk their fill, Ye Jianchuan and the other two took him home.

Uncle Er was taken back, but Sha Zhu and Uncle San didn't leave. After all, they weren't quite sure why Ye Jianchuan had suddenly sided with Uncle Er...

Realizing that neither of them intended to leave, Ye Jianchuan understood that they wanted to ask him something, so he spoke directly to them.

"Don't worry, you two. We'll just go along with our Uncle Er a little."

The matter between Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e is not as simple as we imagine, and it also involves some policy issues from higher authorities, so I am not at liberty to say more to you at the moment.

All I can tell you is that this Uncle Er is the one I pushed out to take the bullets for us. With him around, if Xu Damao tries anything funny, he'll be the first one shot, and then we'll be prepared.

As for whether or not to help... that's up to you. The main reason I helped him earlier was to make him offend Xu Damao, so that Xu Damao wouldn't go crazy and bite people indiscriminately later!

After hearing Ye Jianchuan's words, Third Uncle immediately understood. Without saying anything more, he nodded and left.

But Sha Zhu wasn't that quick-witted... so he only half-understood Ye Jianchuan's words.

Seeing that Sha Zhu still looked bewildered, Ye Jianchuan felt helpless and could only ask again, "Brother Zhu, do you think Xu Damao's family is rich?"

"Their family... probably doesn't have much money, right? His parents are both factory workers, and he's just a projectionist. Although being a projectionist is a decent job, it shouldn't make him particularly rich, right?"

Ye Jianchuan shook his head and said, "You're wrong. Their family is rich, extremely rich! Don't forget, Lou Xiao'e is his ex-wife! The Lou family are shareholders in your steel mill!"

Now that their families have become in-laws, even if the Lou family leaves behind a little something, it will be enough for their family to live on!

So Xu Damao's family is not only rich, but they have a lot of money. Didn't the security guards from your steel mill search their house that day?

They found two large gold bars and several hundred yuan in cash! If this were a lawful case, it would be quite serious, right? And what happened? Look at Xu Damao now—what's going on?

Chapter 190 The Second Clash Between Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi

Sha Zhu nodded after hearing this, then turned to Ye Jianchuan with a bewildered look and asked, "Oh... their family is so rich... but that doesn't make sense, what does their wealth have to do with Second Uncle?"

Ye Jianchuan stomped his foot in exasperation, "Brother Zhu, are you really stupid or have you drunk too much and can't think straight?"

Since Xu Damao's family is wealthy enough to allow him to return to work unscathed, do you think Xu Damao will have the opportunity to use money to secure a position for himself in the future?

If he gains power, guess who he hates most in the entire courtyard!

Speaking of Xu Damao's 'arch-nemesis,' then Sha Zhu is no fool, after all, isn't Sha Da Mao's arch-nemesis himself?

"Oh!!! Now I understand, I get it. This Second Uncle is indeed a pretty good shield, mainly because he attracts a lot of hatred."

But... does Xu Damao really have that much ability? I used to beat him up all the time, and I never saw him do anything bad.

"You haven't even done anything really bad yet? Have you forgotten who ruined your blind date? Xu Damao played a huge role in it!"

Furthermore, regarding your matter with Teacher Ran 27, if I hadn't told you beforehand that you needed to explain the basic situation of our courtyard house to Teacher Ran in advance...

The things Xu Damao said to Teacher Ran, wouldn't Teacher Ran have turned around and left on the spot?

"Moreover... I'll say it again: you'll soon find that times have changed! The next ten years or so will be a difficult period for your family and for Teacher Yan's family."

Ye Jianchuan said this because, over the next ten years, the teaching profession became less respected.

Once the label of "stinking intellectual" is attached to someone, even someone who has done nothing wrong will immediately become considered inferior.

Moreover, Ran Qiuye's family isn't entirely without fault either. As someone who has returned from studying abroad, Ran's parents will certainly be subject to some investigation during this period.

Teacher Ran will also be affected. Although Teacher Ran is now married and Sha Zhu is a third-generation farm laborer, if someone with ulterior motives wants to cause trouble, Sha Zhu might also be affected.

When Sha Zhu heard Ye Jianchuan's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked impatiently, "Little Ye, do you know something?"

Why don't you tell your brother what exactly happened? That way, he'll have some idea of ​​what's going on!

Ye Jianchuan wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to say it in a way that would make Sha Zhu understand what had happened without causing trouble by blurting it out.

So Ye Jianchuan simply shook his head and said, "Brother Zhu, don't ask anymore. Anyway, there's always a way out. Even if there are difficulties, we can find a way to get through them together."
