Chapter 197 Embarrassed Yu Li!
Chapter 197 Embarrassed Yu Li!
Perhaps because they were already very familiar with each other, Yu Li did not refuse Jia Dongming's words. She walked directly in front of Jia Dongming and said to him, "Brother Dongming! My sister's home is over there on Gulou Street."
When Jia Dongming learned where Yu Li and her sister lived, he showed a surprised expression on his face and replied with a smile: "I was also going to Gulou Street. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
After Yu Li got on the bicycle, Jia Dongming stepped on the pedals hard and rode the bicycle with Yu Li on it towards Gulou Street.
Yu Li sat on the back seat of the bicycle, looking at Jia Dongming's back, with a complicated look in her eyes. She felt lost and thought to herself, "Why couldn't I meet such an excellent man earlier?"
Ten minutes later, Jia Dongming's bicycle stopped at the entrance of an alley. Yu Li jumped off the bicycle and thanked Jia Dongming with gratitude, thinking of his help. "Thank you, Brother Dongming! As for the money, I will pay you back slowly when I make money in the future."
When Jia Dongming heard Yu Li's thanks, he showed an expression of indifference on his face, and said to Yu Li in a friendly manner: "Yu Li! This is just a small favor, you don't have to be polite to me. I'm leaving first. If you need any help in the future, you can come to the steel mill to find me at any time."
After saying goodbye to Yu Li, Jia Dongming rode his bicycle quickly to the gate of the courtyard rewarded to him by the system. Jia Dongming took out the key from the system space, opened the gate of the courtyard, and pushed his bicycle into the courtyard.
This quadrangle is a courtyard with one entrance, consisting of one main house, two east and west wing rooms, and three back houses, with an area of more than 200 square meters. As for the shops along the street, they are right next to the east wing.
Because it was a house rewarded by the system, the furniture and daily necessities inside were very complete, which made Jia Dongming very satisfied. He said to himself: "System products must be high-quality. This courtyard house will definitely be a small goal in the future."
After Yu Li said goodbye to Jia Dongming, she came to the gate of a courtyard with her bag on her back, pushed the door open and walked in, then shouted in the direction of the west wing: "Fangfang! Fangfang! Are you home?"
The young woman who was pasting matchboxes in the house heard Yu Li's shouting from outside the yard. She immediately put down her work, ran out of the house, and saw Yu Li standing in the yard. She asked Yu Li curiously, "Li Li! Why are you here? Is your mother's illness better?"
When Yu Li heard the little sister's question and thought about the purpose of her visit, she replied a little embarrassedly: "Fangfang! My mother's operation was very successful and she is now staying in the hospital. This is the money you lent me the day before yesterday. Now that I have enough money, I will pay you back first."
When Fangfang saw the money Yu Li handed over, she didn't reach out to take it. She said to Yu Li, "Lili! Your mother is still in the hospital and needs money right now. Please return the money to me after she is discharged from the hospital."
When Yu Li heard Fangfang's words, she stuffed the money in her hand into Fangfang's pocket and replied, "Fangfang! I have money on me, you should take this money back first. If my mother is still short of money, I will come to you to borrow it."
Seeing that Yu Li said so, Fang Fang did not delay any longer and directly put the money into her pocket. She smiled and said, "Li Li! I'll take it first. If you don't have enough money, you can always come to me."
When Yu Li heard Fangfang's words and thought about the real purpose of her visit, she asked Fangfang a little embarrassedly: "Fangfang! Um, can I stay at your house for a few days?"
Fangfang heard Yu Li's request and then she noticed Yu Li's luggage. She asked Yu Li curiously, "Yu Li! Did you end up quarreling after reconciliation?"
When Yu Li heard Fangfang mention Yan Jiecheng, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she said to Fangfang, "Fangfang! Let's not talk about Yan Jiecheng. I was afraid that my mother would worry, so I didn't dare to go home. That's why I thought of coming to your place for two days."
When Fangfang heard Yu Li's request and thought about her own accommodation conditions, she said to Yu Li with an embarrassed look on her face: "Yu Li! It's not that I don't want to help you, but after my uncle came back from the army, there is no place for you to stay at home. Why don't you go to Xiuqing's house and have a look."
Yu Li and Fang Fang are sisters. Yu Li knows something about Fang Fang's family situation. When she saw Fang Fang's embarrassed expression, she knew that her request was a bit unreasonable, so she replied awkwardly: "Okay! Then I'll go see Xiuqing, and we'll talk when we have time." After walking around the courtyard, Jia Dongming locked the gate, rode his bicycle, and rode towards the steel mill.
"Hey! Isn't that Yu Li? Isn't she staying at her sister's house? Why is she wandering around the street with luggage?" Jia Dongming had just ridden out of the team not far when he saw Yu Li walking towards him.
When Jia Dongming saw this, he immediately rode in front of Yu Li and asked her curiously, "Yu Li! Aren't you staying at your sister's house? Why are you wandering around the street alone?"
When Jia Dongming saw Yu Li, Yu Li also saw Jia Dongming. Facing Jia Dongming's question, Yu Li showed an embarrassed expression on her face and answered awkwardly: "My sister's brother-in-law just retired from the army and now there is not enough room at home, so I plan to go to another sister's place to see him."
When Jia Dongming heard Yu Li's answer and saw her embarrassed expression, he thought of the yard where the system signed in, and said to Yu Li with a smile: "Yu Li! Get in the car! I'll take you to a place."
When Yu Li heard what Jia Dongming said, she didn't know where Jia Dongming was going to take her, but out of trust in Jia Dongming, Yu Li sat directly on the back seat of the bicycle without any hesitation.
Soon Jia Dongming drove Yu Li to the gate of the courtyard. He parked his bike, took out the key from his pocket, unlocked the gate, and then pushed his bike into the courtyard, calling out to Yu Li, "Yu Li! Come in!"
When Yu Li saw Jia Dongming take out a bunch of keys from his pocket and open the gate of the courtyard, she immediately showed a puzzled expression on her face. It was not until she heard Jia Dongming's greeting that she followed Jia Dongming into the courtyard and asked him curiously, "Brother Dongming! Whose house is this?"
When Jia Dongming heard Yu Li's question, he smiled and said to her, "Yu Li! This yard is mine. Don't you have nowhere to live? Why don't you stay here with me for a while?"
When Yu Li heard Jia Dongming's answer and learned that Jia Dongming was the owner of this courtyard, she showed an incredible expression on her face and asked Jia Dongming in astonishment: "Brother Dongming! Is what you said true? Is this courtyard really yours?"
When Jia Dongming heard Yu Li's question and saw her surprised expression, he nodded affirmatively and replied, "This yard was originally the home of one of my comrades-in-arms. He died on the battlefield, and I took on the responsibility of taking care of his father. Not long ago, his father also died of illness, and he left this yard to me."
"I just got the house deed yesterday, and happened to be going to work nearby at noon today, so I came to look at the house on the way, and ended up meeting you on the way. It just so happens that you have nowhere to live now, so why don't you just stay at my place temporarily."
Although Fangfang suggested that Yu Li go to Xiuqing's place to see if there was a place to live, Yu Li knew clearly that Xiuqing's family also had quite a few people and the accommodation conditions were naturally not very good. But Yu Li, who really had nowhere else to go, could only try her luck at Xiuqing's place with the idea of giving it a try.
Now Jia Dongming was willing to take her in, which made Yu Li feel extremely excited. She quickly thanked Jia Dongming: "Brother Dongming! Thank you!"
After hearing Yu Li's thanks, Jia Dongming took a key to the front door from the keychain and said to Yu Li with a smile, "Yu Li! There is no shortage of furniture and daily necessities in the houses here. You can choose which one you like."
In the past two days, because of her mother's illness, Yu Li not only saw Yan Jiecheng's true face, but also suffered the warmth and coldness of the world. Only Jia Dongming was like a guiding light, extending a helping hand to her again and again.
Seeing the key handed over by Jia Dongming and thinking of the grievances she had suffered in the past two days, Yu Li seemed to have found an outlet for her emotions. She threw herself into Jia Dongming's arms and thanked him with sobbing voice: "Brother Dongming! If I hadn't met you, I really don't know what to do, Brother Dongming! Thank you."
