Chapter 226 The stingy guy wants to treat us!

At around five in the evening, Jia Dongming walked into the courtyard pushing his bicycle. Yan Bugui, who was watering vegetables in the front yard, saw Jia Dongming coming back from get off work. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately walked up to him and greeted him enthusiastically, "Dongming! Are you back from get off work? When your third aunt went to the market to buy vegetables today, she saw someone buying pork, so she bought some meat and brought it back. Why don't you come to your third uncle's house for a drink tonight?"

Yan Bugui, the calculating man in Siheyuan, was also a man who would even scheme against his own children for a little benefit. Today, he actually took the initiative to invite him to dinner, which reminded Jia Dongming of a saying: "If someone is too kind to others for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!"

With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming hurriedly smiled and thanked him, "Uncle San! I appreciate your kindness. Huairu should have cooked dinner by now, so there is no need to eat."

Yan Bugui's invitation to Jia Dongming for dinner was fake. He really wanted to get a job from Jia Dongming. Facing Jia Dongming's refusal, Yan Bugui persisted in persuading Jia Dongming, "Ever since you were demobilized, Third Uncle has always come to your place to eat and drink for free. So today, no matter what you say, you must give Third Uncle some face and go to his house for a drink."

Jia Dongming had heard Yu Li complain about the situation at Yan Bugui's home many times. For a family like this where pickles were divided by the roots, and today they cut down some meat to treat him to a meal, Jia Dongming would never believe it even if he was beaten to death. Yan Bugui really invited him to his home for dinner just to return the favor.

Facing Yan Bugui's repeated invitations, Jia Dongming was completely unmoved and politely declined, "Uncle San! I appreciate your kindness, but I won't go to this meal."

"What dinner are you going to have! Third uncle! You want to treat Brother Dongming to a meal, but the sun is rising from the west today. How could you, old stingy Yan, be willing to pay for Dongming to have a meal at your house?" Jia Dongming's words had just fallen when Sha Zhu, carrying a net bag, walked into the front yard from outside, and mocked Yan Bugui with disbelief on his face.

Sha Zhu's ridicule was like rubbing Yan Bugui's face on the ground, making Yan Bugui feel particularly embarrassed. At this time, Yan Bugui's face darkened, and he said to Sha Zhu in a very dissatisfied tone: "Sha Zhu! I invited Dongming to dinner, what does it have to do with you? Go wherever you want."

When Sha Zhu heard Yan Bugui's retort, he was not angry at all. Instead, he raised the net bag in front of him and shook it in front of Yan Bugui, mocking him with disdain: "Uncle San! To treat someone to a meal, you must be sincere. With just the few melons and dates in your family, you have the nerve to invite Brother Dongming to your house for a meal."

Sha Zhu said this and turned to Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Today, the new factory director has come to the reception department and the logistics department has prepared a lot of materials. My lunch box contains the dishes cooked by the small kitchen at noon. How about you come to my house for a drink?"

It is said that Sha Zhu never thinks before speaking, and there is nothing wrong with this. Jia Dongming just rejected Yan Bugui's invitation. If he accepts Sha Zhu's invitation, it means that he does not take Yan Bugui seriously. Facing Sha Zhu's invitation, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! When you were having a reception in the canteen at noon today, your new factory director dragged me to drink a lot of wine. The smell of alcohol on my body has not dissipated until now. I will not drink this wine tonight."

When Sha Zhu heard what Jia Dongming said, he thought about the amount of liquor consumed in the canteen during the lunch reception, so he stopped forcing Jia Dongming and replied with a smile: "Brother Dongming! Since you don't want to drink anymore, I won't force you. I'll go back first."

When Jia Dongming heard what Sha Zhu said, he quickly pushed his bicycle towards the Moon Gate, and at the same time said to Yan Bugui: "Uncle San! I appreciate your kindness. We can meet again some other day if we have the chance."

In order to treat Jia Dongming to a meal this time, Yan Bugui reluctantly took out the meat coupons he had saved for half a year and one dollar, and asked the third aunt to go to the market to buy half a pound of meat.

Yan Bugui originally planned to invite Jia Dongming to dinner and then talk to Jia Dongming about arranging a job for Yan Jiecheng. However, he did not expect that halfway through, Sha Zhu, a Cheng Yaojin, would suddenly appear and completely disrupt his plans.

Yan Bugui watched Jia Dongming and Sha Zhu walk into the middle courtyard with anger in his eyes. He spat on the ground and cursed in dissatisfaction: "Damn Sha Zhu, I can never coexist with you!" "Dongming! I heard a commotion in the front yard. What happened?" When Jia Zhang saw Jia Dongming coming back pushing his bicycle, she thought of the voices she had just heard and asked Jia Dongming curiously.

Sha Zhu, who was standing by, heard Jia Zhang's question and without waiting for Jia Dongming to answer, he immediately introduced Jia Zhang: "Aunt Zhang! I don't know if the third uncle today took the wrong medicine, but he actually invited Brother Dongming to his house for dinner. Brother Dongming didn't want to go, so the third uncle stopped him from leaving. I happened to see this scene, so I went up to help Brother Dongming out."

When Jia Zhang learned that Yan Bugui was going to invite her son to dinner, an incredible expression appeared on her face, and she replied in horror: "Did Old Man Yan take the wrong medicine today? He actually wants to invite our Dongming to dinner. This is really a strange thing."

Jia Dongming just thought that Sha Zhu spoke without thinking, until he heard what Sha Zhu said to Jia Zhangshi, then he realized that Sha Zhu's words to Yan Bugui were to help him out.

After understanding the reason, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Sha Zhu: "Zhu Zi! Thank you for helping me out just now. I will ask your sister Qin to open a can of beef later, and you can bring Yu Shui to my house for dinner."

Sha Zhu knew that Jia Dongming had good wine at home. When he heard Jia Dongming's invitation, he immediately felt his eyes light up. He quickly shook the net bag in his hand towards Jia Dongming and said to him happily: "Brother Dongming! I have two boxes of hard dishes here. You don't have to open the can of beef."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Jia Dongming did not refuse Sha Zhu's lunch box. Instead, he smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! I'll ask your sister Qin to heat up the food first. You can bring Yu Shui over to eat in ten minutes."

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Sha Zhu quickly handed the net bag in his hand to Jia Dongming and replied happily: "Okay! Brother Dongming! Then Yu Shui and I will eat something and come back."

After watching Sha Zhu go home, Jia Zhang thought of Yan Bugui inviting Jia Dongming to dinner, and reminded Jia Dongming with a gloomy face: "Dongming! That old Yan in the front yard is so stingy that he even schemes against his own children. He suddenly invited you to dinner today. It's obviously like Huang Daxian wishing a happy new year to the chickens. He has no good intentions. You should be more careful."

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's reminder and thought of the purpose of Yan Bugui inviting him to dinner, he showed a nonchalant expression on his face and said to Jia Zhang with a smile: "Mom! I know very well what kind of person Third Uncle is. He spent a lot of money to invite me to dinner today just to get something for nothing, find a job for his eldest son, and then find a wife for his eldest son."

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's answer, she immediately remembered something and quickly reminded Jia Dongming, "Dongming! These past two days, every time the old lady of the Zhang family came back, she always brought back a lunch box of food. If I'm not mistaken, Yan Bugui must have discovered that you helped the old lady of the Zhang family arrange a job, so Yan Bugui wanted to use you to help their Yan Jiecheng arrange a job."

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's reminder, he pretended to be confused and said, "Mom! The job of the old lady of the Zhang family was arranged by the street office. What does it have to do with me? Don't listen to nonsense."

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's answer, she immediately understood what he meant. She nodded in agreement and replied, "Dongming! You are right. The job of the old lady of the Zhang family was arranged by Director Wang of the Street Office. Even if the residents in the courtyard suspect that you arranged the job for the old lady of the Zhang family, as long as you deny it, the original residents can't say anything."
