Siheyuan: The Villain's Cool Life

Do you think you can hold on to my things?

"Daughter-in-law of the Jia family, thank you for your kindness. I can't bear it. And have you finished washing Brother Dongxu's clothes? You have to put your husband first before anything else.

Aunt Wang, let’s go and talk later.” Shen He didn’t look at Qin Huairu’s somewhat ugly face.

Turn around and leave.

Jia Zhang was probably sleeping, otherwise she might have started complaining again.

Chapter 17 Farce

Shen He did not go to the grain station, but passed the grain station and went to the library.

Keep reading.

This time it was on time.

I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 4:50. I put down the book with the last page turned and left the library.

When he came out of the alley, the bag in his hand weighed more than ten pounds, and there were also five ribs with meat on them.

Shen He took a look at the grain station and premium grain.

I estimated my own quantity and then took it out.

The ribs were also checked at the Gulou Meat Shop, and they did have bones, so Shen He took them out.

I didn't meet many people along the way, but I was stopped by someone when I entered.

"Xiao Shen, are you buying food? Oh... and you bought some pork ribs, that must have cost a lot of money."

"I say, Yan Bugui, can you please stop staring at the people coming in and out of the yard? You should focus on the textbooks. That's how you can teach your students well. What kind of students can a materialistic and greedy teacher like you teach?

I think I should write a letter to your school principal sometime to ask him to pay attention to the bad apples among the teaching staff."

Shen He did not dodge this time, but after hearing this, Yan Bugui struggled and retreated his outstretched hand.

"Xiao Shen, Uncle Three is doing this for your own good. He's afraid you'll get cheated."

"Oh, I was cheated? Do you think it was the people at the grain station who cheated me, or the comrades at the butcher shop? You have to tell me the truth. I have to ask them how dare they cheat me, a commoner. Not only will I trouble them, but I will also ask the leaders how they managed to let these people cheat people."

"No..." Yan Bugui panicked as soon as Shen He said this. How could he tell her this? His family would surely become rich in the future. If he went to the grain station to buy food, it would probably be all sweet potato stalk powder. If he went to the butcher shop, they would dare to give him all lean meat.

It will definitely make Yan Bugui and his family unable to stop.

Yan Bugui apologized quickly and almost cried when he saw Shen He about to leave.

At this time, everyone at home came out to watch the fun.

Shen He repeated Yan Bugui's words to everyone, and Yan Bugui's face turned even greener. Don't believe that the people in the hospital will keep it a secret. There is an 80% probability... no, a 100% probability that they will tell others.

"Xiao Shen, your third uncle doesn't know the situation either, so just spare him." Third aunt ran out to save the situation.

"Hey, are you talking nonsense? This is what Third Uncle said with all his heart. I just want to know who deceived me and what I was fooled into. Please explain it clearly, Third Uncle, so that I won't be fooled again in the future.

It just so happens that all the neighbors in the courtyard are here, so let’s listen too.”

"I...I..." Yan Bugui was really about to cry, but he could only pretend to faint.

At this time, a voice came from the door: "What are you all doing here? What happened?"

Shen He turned around and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, followed by a group of steel mill workers.

Everyone came back from get off work one after another.

Yu Jianhua, who was not afraid of trouble, walked out with a smile and told the whole story. He happened to be at the door just now and witnessed the whole process.

Yi Zhonghai glared at Yan Bugui unhappily, and then glared at Shen He who was causing trouble for no reason.

"Xiao Shen, your uncle didn't mean it. He doesn't know where you bought the meat. He's afraid you might have made a mistake buying it somewhere else."

"Hey... Yi Zhonghai, you're still the one who can say, tsk tsk...

Uncle, I'm just moving a pot of flowers, and that's it. Is that okay?

"This this……"

Yan Bugui wanted to say something, but her husband stopped her, "You move it, you move it, just move whichever pot you like, they are all worthless, you just keep them to enjoy the view."

"It's not worth much. Then... I'll move two pots. Hey, please, Auntie, lift these two pots for me. It's inconvenient for my hands to be occupied." Of course Shen He was not polite.

He pointed to two pots, one of which was jasmine, and he couldn't tell what the other one was, but it looked very lively.

When Yan Bugui saw Shen He pointing at the jasmine, he didn't think anything of it, but when he brought up the pot of it, his whole face instantly fell.

"This...ah." The third aunt moved over, picked up two pots of flowers and handed them to Shen He.

"Xiao Shen, this flower needs to be well-maintained. You can't water it too often, but you can't not water it either. You have to water it at the right time..."

Hey, hey... I haven't finished yet."

"I don't have time to deal with you. I'm going home to stew pork ribs, otherwise I won't eat until dark." Shen He replied when he was almost through the hall.

Watching his flowers disappear before his eyes, Yan Bugui felt dizzy.

I can’t say how much the other flowers are worth, but the pot that Shen He took away is worth at least 15.

That pot of jasmine is the cheapest, only two or three dollars, and that's because it's more than ten years old.

This time he lost at least 18 yuan, and Yan Bugui's heart was bleeding.

And he couldn't say it yet.

If people knew that this flower of his was valuable, it would definitely be spent within three days.

"Old Yan, come on, I'll help you back to the house. Let's not get angry. It's not worth it to hurt your health if you get angry, and it will cost money." His wife's words that he would have to spend money woke Yan Bugui up. He looked around, looked at Yi Zhonghai, sighed, turned around and went into the house.

The third aunt stayed and said a few words to Yi Zhonghai, then went into the house.

Yi Zhonghai looked around.

"Today, your Third Uncle is doing this for the good of Shen He. We shouldn't engage in speculation. Third Uncle is also afraid that Shen He will buy things from random places.

It's enough for everyone to know about this, don't spread it around.

It has caused misunderstanding and is not good for our yard.

Let's all go home. The men are all home now, so we won't cook anymore."

He said this and walked away with his hands behind his back.

His brows were furrowed.

I was thinking about how to kill this kid Shen He. If this continued, the morale of everyone in the compound would be dispersed.

"Well... Master, please wait a minute. I want to talk to you."

"Dongxu, what are you talking about? Just say it."

"Master, there is not enough food at home. We are now living beyond our means. Can you think of a solution?" Jia Dongxu pulled Yi Zhonghai aside and whispered.

"Isn't it only Monday? Where's this week's food?"

“Ah… As you know, there are many people in my family, and I only have food rations for one person. I have been selling premium food recently, and this is not enough.

If that doesn’t work, I can only look at the black market.”

"Hey, don't go yet. Let me think of a solution for you. I still have some corn flour. It's all saved by your aunt, the old lady, and I. There's about 10 kilograms. Take it back first, and I'll think of a solution for you."

Yi Zhonghai didn't wait for Jia Dongxu to say anything else. He turned around and went into the house. After a while, he came out carrying a small cloth bag.

His voice was a little louder. "Dongxu, you know, my rations are not much, and I have to take care of the old lady in the backyard. You have to eat sparingly. It's getting late, let's go back."

Yi Zhonghai handed the bag to Jia Dongxu, turned around and went back into the house.

Several people who were staring at this side also withdrew their gazes.

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to go home.

After a while, the courtyard, which originally had no smell, was quietly filled with the faint aroma of meat.

That’s the bad thing about life these days.

A little smell can spread far away.

The main reason is that people have not eaten meat for a long time and are extremely sensitive to the taste of meat.

In later times, if you cook a pot of meat in the house, you probably won’t be able to smell anything.

But this time is different.

The meat is different, and the human condition is also different.

Therefore, the sensitivity to meat taste is also different.

Chapter 18: Give and Take

Many people left their doors open, smelling the long-lost smell of meat, and slowly eating their own steamed buns or cornmeal porridge.

In the somewhat quiet courtyard, a child's overbearing and somewhat unreasonable voice suddenly came from the middle courtyard of the Jia family.

"Meat, grandma, I want to eat meat, dad, I want to eat meat, mom, I want to eat meat."

Eat meat? Who doesn’t want to eat meat these days?

Jia Dongxu was already upset, and when he saw his son making such a fuss, he slapped him in the face and shouted, "Shut up! If you keep yelling, I'll beat you to death."

Banggeng turned around and pounced on Jia Zhang. He knew who had the final say in this family. "Woo woo... Grandma, I want to eat meat, woo woo..."

"The child wants to eat meat, why do you beat him? Banggeng is still young, what does he know?

Qin Huairu, your son wants meat, and you're not going to order it? Are you dead? I saw that brat take several ribs with meat on them.

He definitely can’t finish it, so go get another one... no, bring back half of it.

Don't you know how difficult our Jia family is? How can this little brat who doesn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young eat all by himself?

The Jia family still has an old man like me, and a smart kid like me. My grandson will become an official in the future.

If I don't give my grandson meat to eat, and he can't become an official in the future, he will have to pay for it.

Why don't you go now? Why are you just standing there? "

Jia Zhang stuffed a large bowl into the confused Qin Huairu's hand and forcibly pushed her out.
