Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

The first thing Director Wang asked Liu Guangfu when he saw him was, "How is your father?"

"I have become a vegetable and am currently paralyzed in bed. I don't know when I will wake up." Liu Guangfu answered honestly.

Director Wang paused in her tea sip. She hadn't expected that simply not being in charge would have such serious consequences. If she had known, she would have been more tactful.

"So what's the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

Liu Guangfu pretended to be in a dilemma and said, "I do have something to say, but I don't know how to start."

"Then don't say anything. Go home and live a good life." Director Wang said. She knew that nothing good was going to happen as soon as she heard it.

"Uh... Director Wang, this isn't a big deal. I just want to ask for a favor."

Director Wang didn't say anything, but just looked at Liu Guangfu quietly, "I want to see what kind of bullshit you can come up with."

Liu Guangfu's IQ suddenly dropped and he said, "I want to become the apprentice of Jiang Daniu, the eighth-level blacksmith in our yard, but I don't know how to succeed. Can you come out and help me put in some words."

……

Liu Guangfu was driven out by Xiong Fei and almost resorted to gunfire.

Liu Guangfu, who was kicked out, cursed and said that Director Wang was not a good official and did not know how to serve the people.

After cursing, Liu Guangfu fell into distress again. Was he really forced to apprentice to a Level 6 worker? He didn't want to.

Suddenly he had an idea, as if he had thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's impossible to become my disciple privately, but if I kneel down and become my disciple in front of so many people in the yard, how will Jiang Daniu respond?"

The solution Liu Guangfu thought of was to force the emperor to abdicate, but he still had some brains and knew that he couldn't just force the emperor to abdicate, he also had to prepare gifts for becoming his disciple.

He did what he said and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things without stopping.

In the steel rolling mill, Zhong Tiexiong found Jiang Fan and Zhong Xueying.

"What happened, big brother? Did another spy escape?"

Zhong Tiexiong was a little embarrassed. "How could there be so many escaped spies? My father asked me to bring you some things. Someone from my hometown sent some mountain products here. I'll give them to you."

Zhong Tiexiong handed a cloth bag to Jiang Fan. As soon as Jiang Fan held it, he knew its weight, about forty or fifty kilograms.

"It's quite a lot, big brother, did you guys keep any? Don't give it all to us."

"I kept it. We still have a bag."

"That's fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to accept so many things." Jiang Fan said with a smile.

They chatted for a while, but Zhong Tiexiong still showed no intention of leaving.

Jiang Fan and the others also realized that something was wrong.

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me. We are not outsiders."

Jiang Fan agreed, "Yeah, big brother, if you encounter any problems and we can help you, just tell us directly. We will definitely help if we can."

Zhong Tiexiong didn't hide the truth anymore. Here's what happened: a comrade-in-arms, upon learning that he was working in the city, asked him to get a factory job for a relative.

However, the Security Department is currently unable to allow anyone to come in, so they can only send them to the workshop.

Zhong Tiexiong immediately thought of Jiang Fan's father, an eighth-level blacksmith. Coincidentally, his comrade's relative also had considerable strength and was suited to swinging a hammer.

He just wanted to know if he could get Jiang Daniu to take the person in.

Jiang Fan immediately said that it was no problem and that he could agree to it on his father's behalf. He still had some face in front of Comrade Lao Jiang.

"Brother, you scared me just now. I thought you wanted to borrow money from me," Jiang Fan joked.

"So what? You don't want to lend me the money anymore?"

Jiang Fan looked at his wife and said, "That depends on Yingying. I don't manage money in our family."

"Just die."

"Then big brother, I'll take the things in and then go tell my dad."

Zhong Tiexiong said, "I'll go with you."

After putting down their things, the two went to the forging workshop to find Jiang Daniu.

"Uncle, this is what happened. I thought if you are free tonight, I would host you and let you meet the person first. If you think it is suitable, you can accept it. If not, forget it."

Although Jiang Fan agreed, Zhong Tiexiong still suggested meeting him first.

Jiang Daniu had been wanting to agree to this since he knew about it. It was just an apprenticeship, not a big deal. But since Jiang Fan had already agreed, he couldn't let his son lose face.

What's more, this is the first time that the Zhong family has asked him to do something, and it's not difficult to do, so there is no reason to refuse.

Jiang Daniu smiled and said, "Okay, then let's meet tonight. As long as you're in good health and can swing a hammer, that's fine."

Zhong Tiexiong quickly said, "He can swing it well. He used to be good at working in the fields."

"Hahaha. That's fine. By the way, ask your dad to come over tonight so I can have a good drink with him."

"Row."

Then Zhong Tiexiong left to arrange dinner in the evening.

After he left, Jiang Fan said to his father, "Dad, I agreed to this in advance. You can't blame me, right?"

"You've already agreed, how can I refuse? Everyone knows that your words are more effective than mine in our family." Jiang Daniu said sarcastically.

"Dad, you're not interesting anymore."

"So what's interesting?"

Jiang Fan looked up and said slowly, "What's interesting is that there's fifty yuan hidden under a brick in our kitchen. Who do you think hid it? They're not afraid of it getting burned."

Jiang Daniu's heart skipped a beat, and he said stubbornly, "Who knows?"

Jiang Fan glanced at Lao Deng and said, "We can't just leave it like this. I have to tell Mom about this when I get home tonight. Please pay attention to it when I cook next time."

Jiang Daniu's eyes widened. "How dare you threaten me?"

"And there seems to be a hundred dollars behind a portrait at home."

Jiang Daniu patted Jiang Fan on the shoulder and said calmly, "Hahaha, Second Brother. As the most educated and cultured person in our family, your words are naturally very reasonable. Of course, a rough guy like me has to listen to you."

"Dad, please don't force yourself to speak."

"How could that be? These are all my sincere words."

The two looked at each other for a while, and Jiang Fan turned and left. He had the upper hand in this confrontation.

As he left, Jiang Daniu gritted his teeth and took a deep breath of cold air. "How did that kid, Lao Er, find such a hidden place? No, I have to find another place to hide."

Time passed quickly and it was time to get off work. Zhong Tiexiong came to pick up Jiang Daniu and others to have dinner.

Because Zhong Xueying didn't want to go, Jiang Fan had to send her home first before going.

Chapter 548 Liu Guangfu Blocks the Door

In the courtyard, Liu Guangfu was standing in the front yard waiting with a gift in his hand.

The others looked on curiously, wondering what he was up to. There weren't any of his relatives in the front yard.

"Liu Guangfu, what are you doing?"

Liu Guangfu's heart moved. He had been waiting, wondering when someone would come to ask him questions, and finally someone came.

He replied, "I'm going to the steel mill today to take my father's job. I'm also a blacksmith, so I wanted to become Master Jiang's apprentice. This is the gift I bought for him."

"You want to take Master Jiang as your apprentice? That's a good thing. Master Jiang is an eighth-level worker."

"Guangfu is so lucky to have Master Jiang as his teacher."

Liu Guangfu smiled embarrassedly, "It was just a fluke."

"You're so lucky! How come I didn't know that my father wanted to take you as his apprentice?" Jiang Yu came out to clarify after hearing what Liu Guangfu said.

The atmosphere became stagnant, and Liu Guangfu said with a forced smile.

"Not yet, but I really want to be your disciple. And we're neighbors, so Master Jiang won't refuse, right?"

Jiang Yu smiled. "Liu Guangfu, go wash your face in the pool in the middle courtyard and clear your mind. How did you say that?"

What do you mean you won't refuse if it's a neighbor? So, let's say we're all neighbors, and I need money, so you guys should give me the money unconditionally. We're all neighbors, so no one should refuse, right?

Jiang Yu looked at the neighbors who wanted to watch the fun with a smile, and as long as someone spoke to her, she would immediately go up and ask for money.

No one else dared to wade into the muddy water. They just wanted to watch the fun, but they couldn't contribute money.

"It's time to go home and cook."

"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom."

"I went home to help my son with his homework."

Those who wanted to watch the fun dispersed, and some ran to the backyard to tell Aunt Meng about it.

Liu Guangfu watched the people leave, his face turning pale and blue. His original plan was to take advantage of the crowd to make this matter known to everyone.

At that time, he would use the excuse that Liu Haizhong was seriously ill and the family needed him to be the pillar of the family, and use his identity as a member of the vulnerable group to force Jiang Daniu to accept him as his apprentice.

In the future, I can also use this method to let Jiang Daniu teach me the technology.

But Jiang Yu's unreasonable talk disrupted the rhythm. Now no one dared to come to watch the show, let alone speak up for him.

"Jiang Yu, it's not up to you to decide whether to accept me as a disciple or not. I believe that Master Jiang is a loyal and honest man. Seeing my sincerity, he will definitely accept me."

"How shameless! Your sincerity is just a box of snacks and a bottle of wine. And then you ask the neighbors to speak up for you and force my dad?"

Jiang Yu scoffed. This kind of behavior was familiar to her; Yi Zhonghai had done the same thing back then. Under the guise of doing good for the entire hospital, he wanted to get the Jiang family to do something that would harm their own interests.

Now it is used by Liu Guangfu.

Seeing his plan exposed, Liu Guangfu's face darkened. He racked his brains to come up with this plan, but Jiang Yu just blurted it out.

"I don't quite understand what you're saying, but I sincerely want to become Master Jiang's disciple. I don't think a girl like you can make the decision on this matter. You should just wait."

"My sister can't make the decision, so what about me?" Jiang Fan pushed the cart back to the courtyard, followed by Zhong Xueying.

Jiang Dalei and Jiang Yue rolled up their sleeves. As long as Jiang Fan gave the order, they would go and beat Liu Guangfu up.

The two brothers discussed it and decided not to go for dinner. If they all drank too much, it would be difficult for Jiang Fan to bring them back alone.

"Second brother, sister-in-law, you are back."

Jiang Yu happily ran to Zhong Xueying and took her arm.

"I brought you some food. Yingying, you guys go back first and tell mom about this."

Now only Liu Guangfu is left on the field to face the three Jiang Fan brothers.

"Jiang Fan, where's Master Jiang? Why hasn't he come back?"

Liu Guangfu asked, feeling a little anxious. He planned to kneel down and kowtow immediately after meeting Jiang Daniu, crying loudly and telling him about his difficulties.

If Jiang Daniu still doesn't accept him, then he will kneel at the door of the Jiang family. He will kneel for one day as long as Jiang Daniu doesn't accept him.

He believed that as long as he persisted, sooner or later Jiang Daniu would be moved (unable to bear it) and accept him.

"Whether my dad comes back or not is none of your business. Don't you have to take care of your own father who is paralyzed in bed?

If you don't want to take care of me, I can write a letter to your elder brother who is far away in Ning Province and ask him to come back.

I believe that when he knows what Liu Haizhong has become like now, he will definitely be happy to come back.

Maybe Liu Haizhong will wake up when he sees Haodaer coming back."

Liu Guangfu's face changed and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He didn't understand why Jiang Fan knew that Liu Guangqi was in Ning Province?

His expression changed for a moment, but Liu Guangfu still said stubbornly, "You can contact that unfilial fellow as much as you want. Whether he comes back or not is none of my business. Now I want to ask you, where is Master Jiang? I want to become his disciple."

"Go back, my dad won't take you in."

"You are not Master Jiang, so why should you make decisions for him?" Liu Guangfu said.

His life in his original family made him feel that there would be no father who would let his son, especially the second son, be the master of his own house without dividing the family.

This was also the reason why he dared to tell Jiang Yu that she had no say.

Jiang Fan nodded slightly, "You're quite right about that. To a certain extent, I can't be the boss of my dad."

Liu Guangfu smiled, but the smile only lasted for a second.
