Chapter 17 Yan Bugui’s plan!

Yan Bugui watched Qin Huairu disappear through the Moon Gate. Thinking of the purpose of Qin Huairu's visit, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face, and he quickly turned around and walked into the house.

The third auntie sitting at the dining table saw Yan Bugui, who looked very happy, and asked him curiously, "Boss! What does Qin Huairu want to talk to you about?"

When Yan Bugui heard the third aunt's question, he did not answer her question immediately. He went straight into his room, took out an account book from the room, and introduced it to the third aunt with a smile: "Wife! Qin Huairu came to me to ask for the account book of the donations made by the courtyard to the Jia family. If I am not mistaken, the eldest brother of the Jia family should want to return all the money donated by our courtyard to everyone."

When the third aunt heard what Yan Bugui said and thought about the news that they could get the money their family had donated back, an expression of ecstasy immediately appeared on her face.

The third aunt thought of Jia Zhang's character, and her originally happy face immediately showed a puzzled expression. She asked Yan Bugui, "Boss! Jia Zhang is a money-grubber. If the money is in her pocket, will Jia Zhang agree to give it up?"

When Yan Bugui heard the question raised by the third aunt and thought of what Qin Huairu had just said, he said to the third aunt with a happy face: "Wife! This is what you don't understand. The eldest son of the Jia family is not Jia Dongxu, so he will naturally not listen to Jia Zhangshi in everything."

"Besides, the eldest son of the Jia family is also the head of the security department of the steel mill. He asked Qin Huairu to come to me for the account book. He definitely didn't want to see anyone asking him for help with the Jia family's donations to the hospital. That's why he wanted to return the money to everyone to prevent someone from taking advantage of the donations and calling them ungrateful people in the future."

When Yan Bugui said this, he thought of Jia Dongming buying a large piece of pork belly, and walked out the door while saying, "Wife! Didn't you say that the Jia family bought a large piece of pork belly? I'll send the account book over now, maybe I can get a meal of meat for free."

"Uncle! Where are you planning to go?" Just as Yan Bugui was walking towards the central courtyard, Sha Zhu's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Yan Bugui heard Sha Zhu's shout and subconsciously stopped. Seeing Sha Zhu holding a net bag in his hand, he smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu! You don't know yet? Dong Xu's elder brother is back!"

There were receptions at noon and in the evening today. Sha Zhu took the opportunity to quietly pack two large lunch boxes of meat dishes, thinking that he could show off in front of Qin Huairu when he returned to the courtyard.

When Sha Zhu heard Yan Bugui say that Jia Dongxu's elder brother had returned, he showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked Yan Bugui curiously, "Third Uncle! How come I have never heard my brother Dongxu mention the elder brother from Jia Dongxu?"

Seeing Sha Zhu's curious expression, Yan Bugui subconsciously glanced at the lunch box in the net bag and asked irrelevantly: "Sha Zhu! What's in your lunch box? Why does it smell so good?"

When Sha Zhu saw Yan Bugui suddenly mentioned the lunch box he brought back, how could he not understand what Yan Bugui meant? But thinking of the Jia family's affairs, Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, took out a lunch box from his net bag, and said to Yan Bugui with a smile: "Uncle! This is the leftovers from the canteen at our steel mill. If you don't mind, I'll give you a box."

"No, no, how could I dislike it?" Yan Bugui heard Sha Zhu's words and immediately reached out to take the lunch box from Sha Zhu. After being polite for a while, he shouted to the west wing, "Wife! Come out for a moment."

The third aunt, who was eating in the house, heard Yan Bugui's call, and immediately put down her chopsticks and steamed bread, walked out of the house, and saw the lunch box in Yan Bugui's hand, and asked him happily: "Boss! What do you want to ask me?" Yan Bugui saw his wife coming out of the house, and immediately stuffed the lunch box in his hand into the third aunt's hand, and smiled and said to the third aunt: "Wife! Put the dishes in this lunch box in a bowl, and we will heat it up before eating in the evening."

Yan Bugui paused for a moment and then told the third aunt, "Zhu Zi just asked me about Brother Jia Dongxu's return. I have to go to Jia's house now. You should talk to Zhu Zi first to explain what happened."

It is said that if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door. When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui's instructions, she immediately understood what Yan Bugui meant. Feeling the weight of the lunch box in her hand, the third aunt happily introduced it to Sha Zhu: "Zhu Zi! The situation is like this. You will be at the steel rolling mill at noon today!"

Yan Bugui took the account book and quickly came to the gate of the villa. A strong fragrance immediately hit his nose, and Yan Bugui couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. The aroma of dumplings filled the air, and then he quickly walked towards the yard.

As Yan Bugui walked, he shouted into the room, "Huai Ru! Huai Ru, I've brought you the account book you asked for."

Jia Zhang, who was enjoying her chicken soup and dumplings, heard Yan Bugui's shouting outside the house. Her face suddenly changed and she complained unhappily, "This old man Yan! He must have known that we were having dumplings at noon and came here on purpose to eat for free."

Yan Bugui is a calculating person in the courtyard. His motto is "you will never be poor if you eat too much, you will never be poor if you don't calculate, you will be poor." At home, pickles are divided by the root for meals, but he calculates so much that he eventually loses all the family affection.

When Jia Dongming heard Yan Bugui's shout, he put down his chopsticks and said to Qin Huairu with a smile, "Sister-in-law! Go and invite the third uncle in, and then serve him some dumplings."

Qin Huairu immediately stood up from the dining table when she heard Jia Dongming's instructions, then quickly walked to the door of the house, greeted Yan Bugui with a smile, "Uncle! You are here, please come in!"

Yan Bugui smiled happily when he heard Qin Huairu's invitation. He followed Qin Huairu into the main hall and saw Jia Dongming standing in front of the dining table. He looked about 70% similar to Jia Dongxu. He greeted Jia Dongming enthusiastically and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Dongxu's elder brother, Section Chief Jia!"

Jia Dongming looked at the thin old man wearing glasses in front of him, and then smiled and greeted him: "I guess you are the third uncle in the courtyard? My name is Jia Dongming, the eldest of the Jia family!"

"It's said that it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. It just so happens that we are making dumplings today. If you don't mind, please sit down and have some!"

When Yan Bugui heard Jia Dongming's invitation and saw the chicken soup and dumplings on the table, he secretly felt lucky in his heart, but he politely replied, "Chief Jia! In our family, we only eat dumplings once a year. How could I dislike it?"
