Chapter 331: Making a fool of yourself
Jia family
After returning home, Jia Dongxu recounted what had happened that day.
He had reminded the Liu family at that time, and he just said that the long-faced man had asked about the Xie family.
But Ma Lan didn't tell the other party... He first cleared the Jia family.
After hearing this, Jia Zhang said with disdain: "It's none of our business. Anyway, we have reminded them. I am also promoting it in the courtyard. Next, we just have to wait and see how Liu Haizhong deals with the Xu family."
Ma Lan didn't care about these things. When she got off work, Sha Zhu quietly told her that there would be meat tonight... After get off work, the He father and son went straight to cook for others.
In order to prevent Yi Zhonghai from causing trouble, they have to go to a different place this time... But Ma Lan is afraid that the stupid boy will mess up, so she starts thinking about it.
Now Ma Lan was wondering whether she should try to control Sha Zhu again... After thinking for a while, she decided to go, at least to leave herself a way out.
Seeing that Ma Lan didn't say anything, Jia Dongxu continued, "Wang Shengli said that the Xie family is not dead yet, and they can still save the situation. I guess the Liu family will lose money... Anyway, the Xu family has made a note of this!"
"Don't think about this, just eat! There are so many things going on every day in a small yard..."
Ma Lan became a little impatient listening to the mother and daughter chattering.
Jia Zhang and her son were now completely controlled by Ma Lan. As soon as they saw Ma Lan's unhappy expression, they stopped nagging immediately.
……
When Liu Haizhong got home, his ugly face suddenly eased a lot, and he asked his wife to boil five eggs...
"I, Old Liu, have truly entered the official career today. Let's celebrate by giving each of us an egg."
Liu Daleng couldn't be happy now, as he had no idea about getting married... If it weren't for his father's warning, he would have wanted to dig up the Xu family's ancestral grave tonight.
When the second aunt heard that her husband had finally become the team leader, she felt relieved.
I spent two hundred dollars to buy a few crappy characters. If I get cheated, I won't be able to live like this in the future.
"Okay, okay, I'll cook it right away. It's time to celebrate..."
Second aunt thought the family didn’t have much money, but Liu Haizhong has become good at living!
She didn’t know yet that it was because of the trouble caused by the Xu family... Liu Haizhong was now half happy and half worried.
If it weren't for the Xie family's matter today, he would have set up two tables to celebrate properly.
"Mom, you're still happy... The Xie family is not happy! Brother Shengli said today..."
When the second aunt heard her son's story of the whole thing... she became angrier and angrier, and turned around to find the dwarf and fight him.
Liu Haizhong stopped her immediately. It would be useless to go now without evidence. The Xu family would not admit it either...
The second aunt stamped her feet angrily: "What should we do? Are we going to just suffer this humiliation for nothing?"
Liu Daleng lowered his head like a defeated rooster. He now regretted bragging to Xu Damao, Sha Zhu and the others... otherwise he would not have gone to clean the toilet.
"Shengli said that it's just that the Xie family wants to add conditions. Why are you so anxious... I've already given Shengli one dollar and brought a gift to his house! The Xu family is just trying to trip us up and disgust us this time. I don't believe that we won't be able to catch them in the future."
Liu Daleng stood up excitedly.
"My dad is right. We are not done with the Xu family. We will find a chance to beat them up..."
After hearing the conversation between the Liu family members, Lin Chen next door felt that it was time to take back what Xu Wude had extorted. Let them bite it themselves!
After Qin Huairu came out from changing her son's diaper, she found Lin Chen looking at her and smiling. She then remembered that today was Saturday...
"Brother Lin Chen, how about we sneak back to Xia's Hutong tonight? Lan Zi and the An sisters are all here..."
Qin Huairu said this and winked at him.
"No problem...Aunt Wang will take good care of the little guy."
Qin Huairu had originally planned something for the four of them, but who knew that everyone would be mobilized... and everyone wanted to join in the fun.
……
Early next morning
When Lin Chen brought Qin Huairu back, Wang Shengli just happened to enter the yard. Qin Huairu hadn't seen her son all night, so she hurried home.
Wang Shengli stopped and hurriedly offered Lin Chen a cigarette.
"Morning, Director Lin!"
Lin Chen raised his hand to refuse: "Well, come to see your master again."
"Hey, it's just a little thing..."
In order to get the deal done, Wang Shengli took a two-dollar gift and his wife to act as a matchmaker last night.
The Xie family also put forward their conditions, and Wang Shengli came here to pass on the message.
The second aunt who got up early saw her apprentice coming home early and knew that there was a letter from the Xie family.
"Victory comes so early, come in and sit down."
"Hey!"
……
After Wang Shengli entered the house
"Master, let me be frank about Master's Wife! I explained the misunderstanding when I arrived at the Xie family yesterday. Fortunately, Master became the team leader yesterday, which indirectly proved that the rumor that the Liu family offended a senior cadre did not exist."
When Liu Haizhong heard this, he burst into laughter. He thought that this purchase of his team leader was totally worth it.
"Okay, okay, Shengli, go on."
Wang Shengli paused for a moment and said, "But the Xie family has added a few more small requirements. The bride price must be this amount. And after the marriage, we must live separately... It's best not to live in this courtyard."
When the second aunt saw her apprentice's five fingers, her smile froze. How could the originally agreed twenty suddenly double... and there was no way to deal with the house.
Liu Daleng didn't think it was a problem after hearing this, as his father's monthly salary was more than enough to spend. As for the idea of splitting up and living separately, he had no objection either... After getting married, both of them would have jobs, wouldn't that be great...
What this kid doesn't know is that his family has no money at all...where can they buy a house outside the yard?
Liu Haizhong took a deep breath and hesitated. He was not worried about the fifty yuan. The main thing was that he was disgusted by the idea of moving out after marriage... He did not have the ability to buy another house now.
The scene was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Liu Haizhong to make the decision.
Now it is the middle of October, and my son will send a betrothal gift to the Xie family if he passes the first-level worker exam.
It costs at least one hundred dollars to prepare the new house and hold the wedding banquet to bring a daughter-in-law home.
Second Aunt hated the Xu family to death... they were really causing trouble for her family!
Liu Daleng is now looking at his father eagerly, pretending to be pitiful...
"No problem, fifty is fifty. We can split up and live separately... but we can only live in a courtyard. This time, I, Old Liu, will not eat steamed bread to save face. I can't let the Xu family succeed. Otherwise, the whole courtyard will laugh at me to death... Shengli, you go and reply! The Liu family agreed..."
"Hey, I'll go now! It's fine as long as the family is divided, and then I'll go talk about the house."
After Wang Shengli left, Liu Daleng looked at his father happily.
"Thanks dad!"
The second aunt was not happy. She knew the situation at home very well...her husband was just trying to be rich.
"No, it seems that he is fat enough even without the beating. How is he going to survive this winter?"
Liu Haizhong is the second uncle, and he can't borrow money in the courtyard. Otherwise, it would be a big loss...
