Chapter 484 The beginning of the annoying crowd

"Oh, I had a nightmare again. It's unlucky. It's really damn unlucky! I shouldn't have gone if I had known."

Waking up from his sleep, Li Kailang looked out the window and saw that it was just dawn.

These days, Li Kailang's sleep quality has not been very good. He has nightmares from time to time and breaks out in cold sweats.

This situation probably occurred because of the meeting with Eunuch Liu.

After returning from the pig farm that day, Li Kailang felt as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.

Not only does my whole body ache whenever I do anything, but I also cannot do anything smoothly and I encounter bad luck from time to time.

On that day, Li Kailang didn't even go out for the night and stayed at home to rest.

But because of this, someone didn't know that something big was happening quietly at Yeda.

"Could it be that I am destined to be a eunuch? I must stay away from them in the future to avoid bad luck again."

Li Kailang couldn't sleep at this time, so after simply tidying up, he went to Xinhua Bookstore to wait for Jin Jianxian and others.

This time, it was the first time that Li Kailang arrived earlier than the three of them.

"What's wrong, Li Kailang? Are you feeling unwell?" Jin Jianxian, who arrived first, saw that Li Kailang looked gloomy and asked with concern.

Li Kailang waved his hand: "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well and had a nightmare. I'll be fine after I go back and take a nap."

"I'm glad you're okay." Jin Jianxian nodded.

"By the way, I didn't come on Tuesday. Tell me what Teacher Yan said so I can get some remedial lessons."

"Okay." Jin Jianxian immediately picked out the book and briefly explained the content of the class.

Not long after, Yu Xingmei and Qi Mengru also came. Seeing Li Kailang's listless appearance, they expressed their concern.

Seeing that he didn't care, I didn't say anything more.

The four of them learned from each other. Around 10 o'clock, Li Kailang couldn't study anymore, so he said goodbye and left.

"Be careful on the road and ride slowly."

"Safe travels."

"Thank you. You guys take your time to learn. I'll be leaving first."

He got on his bike and went straight back to the yard.

When he entered, he suddenly bumped into someone and almost fell down.

"Comrade, I'm sorry."

He apologized immediately, and when he saw that Li Kailang was fine, he left in a hurry.

This careless attitude is naturally annoying.

Li Kailang was about to say a few words when two more people came out and left in a hurry.

"What's going on today? Why are one or two of you so anxious?"

The three people who just left were all refugees from the back room.

"I almost forgot, they are about to leave."

It's the weekend now, and it's only today until they leave.

He was in such a hurry that it was obvious that he had not found a job yet. He wanted to cram and find a job before Director Wang arrived.

"Forget it, don't bother with them."

Just as Li Kailang was about to go in, two more refugees came out. He immediately moved aside to avoid being hit.

Watching their departing backs, Li Kailang murmured, "I hope we can find them."

But not everyone is like Bai Xiuwen and Xu Sinan.

Li Kailang had just walked back home when Director Wang came to the yard again and asked everyone to come to a meeting.

The refugees who had just left were also called back by Director Wang.

Several people looked dejected. Their plan to cram at the last minute was completely useless once Director Wang arrived.

"There's something exciting to watch again. I'll go to bed after watching it."

Everyone in the yard came to the middle yard.

Director Wang looked at the group of refugees and said, "It's been a month. I told you before that you would stay if you found a job, but now none of you have found one."

"As agreed, you go back and pack your things and follow me later."

"No, Director Wang, give me two more days, no, one day. I can find a job in just one day."

"Director Wang, please don't chase me away, okay? I don't want to be displaced anymore. I don't want to leave anymore."

"Director Wang, please, let us stay. I beg you."

Their situation was similar to that of Bai Xiuwen’s group. They also didn’t want to leave Sijiu City.

Here, they do odd jobs and can at least support themselves. If they leave here, they don’t know where to go next or what they will experience.

"I'm sorry, I can't do this. We decided at the beginning that if you can't do it, you have to abide by the agreement." Director Wang had an indifferent attitude.

"Hurry up and vacate the room for the next group of people to move in."

"Xiao Liu, wait here until they finish packing and take it to the neighborhood office."

"Okay." Xiao Liu nodded in response.

After saying that, Director Wang left and went to the next yard.

"Brother Bai, do you have any solution? I want to stay here. As long as you can let me stay here, I will agree to anything, even marry you!"

Those who had looked down on Bai Xiuwen in the past, after experiencing such a setback, completely understood how difficult it was to find a job in this city.

Bai Xiuwen quickly pulled away their tightly grasped hands: "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about this. I came here not much earlier than you, so there's nothing I can do."

"You should hurry back and pack your things. Take your money, food, and clothes with you, in case you forget."

Seeing that Bai Xiuwen was of no use at all, several people immediately looked at another person, Xu Sinan.

"Sis, since we are all girls, please help us. I beg you."

Xu Sinan was even more heartless than Bai Xiuwen, and said coldly, "I can't help you either. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Xu Sinan walked straight past them without stopping at all.

Everyone was watching the tragic drama unfolding as if they were watching a play.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, we have to leave again. Someone else will be here soon."

"Yeah, when will our yard be quiet?"

"I don't think we can do it for a while, unless we can repair the house."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that no one would be left this time. Last time, at least two were left. This batch is no exception."

The refugees listened to everyone whispering, their hearts filled with regret, hating themselves for not trying harder and regretting it now.

Seeing that no one was willing to help them, they had no choice but to get up and go back to the back room to pack their things.

It’s no wonder that everyone is indifferent to them. There are many people in the yard who were in the same situation as them and all fled to the old city.

After working hard for more than ten years, they finally settled down and became indigenous people. They are already busy taking care of themselves, so how could they have the time to help them?

At Xiao Liu's urging, the six refugees packed up their things and went to the street office.

What happens to them next is none of our business.

"Hey, let's go, let's go."

As soon as they left, everyone went their separate ways.

In the afternoon, Director Wang brought another batch of refugees over. This time, everyone took a quick look and left.

The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. This is the third time, and no one has any interest in the refugees settling in.

"I'll be leaving again in a month anyway, so there's no point in having this meeting. Whoever stays will just remember them when the time comes."

In the back room, people were cleaning the house with the sound of gongs and drums.

There were several refugees this time, some men, some women, some adults, and some children, and no one knew much about them.

The yard returned to peace. Bullshit. "Uncle, you are still watering the flowers. You watered them several times a day, why haven't they died yet?" Aunt Zhao in the backyard joked.

"Puh, puh, puh, how can you talk like that? How could the flowers I grow die? Are you cursing me?"

Yan Bugui treasures these flowers very much. You can curse him, but you cannot curse his flowers.

These flowers are Yan Bugui's money-making treasures. They cannot be hit, scolded, or even touched.

Aunt Zhao clapped her lips and said, "Look at my mouth, I can't control it. I'm really sorry. I apologize to you."

"Apologize? How can it be so simple? You have to compensate me for cursing my flowers for no reason."

"What if other people were like you? Do you know that flowers, like people, have their own thoughts?"

"Ah?" Aunt Zhao covered her mouth. It was the first time she heard such remarks. "Flowers are flowers. How can they be like people? Uncle, stop joking."

Yan Bugui said seriously: "Do you think I am kidding you? Flowers have life, too. Aren't they alive just like people?"

"This flower is like a child. The more you scold and curse it, the worse it will grow."

Yan Bugui immediately launched into a long speech, which stunned Aunt Zhao and challenged her old ideas.

"Uncle, I'm really sorry. I have an onion here to compensate you."

"Well, that's about right. Let me make it clear first. I'm not doing this for your compensation, but for your sincere attitude."

"Come, apologize to my flowers, and let this matter be over. I won't hold it against you."

"Hey, hey." Aunt Zhao immediately came to the flowers and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, Aunt Zhao quickly left in shame.

Yan Bugui watched Aunt Zhao leave, looked at the onion in his hand, and grinned, "I didn't expect to get an onion so soon, I'm really good."

"This is a good idea. Keep using it."

Yan Bugui put the onions back home and continued watering the flowers.

Wang Meihua stepped into the courtyard and said, "Oh, the third uncle is watering the flowers."

"Well, water the flowers. If you don't water them for a day, they will die of thirst. You have to take good care of them."

"That's right. Uncle is really good at growing flowers. He's even better than raising children." Wang Meihua joked.

"Well, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I am not as good at raising children as I am at raising flowers? You are saying that I care more about flowers than children. Is that what you mean?"

"No, no, Third Uncle, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant." Wang Meihua waved her hands repeatedly to deny.

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm an incompetent teacher and can't even teach children well?"

"No, Third Uncle, I didn't mean that. Don't make a big deal out of it."

"Overreacting? Are you saying I'm being unreasonable? I've been a teacher for more than ten years, and no one has ever said that to me. You're the first one."

"No, no." Wang Meihua was so confused by Yan Bugui's endless rhetoric that she didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Without saying anything, he took out a handful of garlic from his vegetable basket, put it down, and walked away quickly, "I'm sorry, Third Uncle, I didn't mean that."

Yan Bugui had a gloomy face, but as soon as Wang Meihua left, he happily took the garlic away.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this method to be so effective. I got the onions and garlic for free in just two strokes, one at a time. With so many people in the yard, there must be at least a dozen a day."

"Wouldn't that be a big fortune? Hehe, you'll never be poor if you don't have enough to eat and wear. If you don't plan well, you'll be poor. This is a good idea. Let's continue."

Yan Bugui found a good way to "make money", and immediately stayed in front of his pot of words that was about to be watered to death for the whole day. If anyone said something wrong, he would directly make a big fuss.

Yan Bugui just stayed there the whole day, and no one dared to go out. They just held their breath and didn't dare to go to the public toilet.

It’s true, I had a good harvest at the end of the day, with more than a dozen kinds of not-so-valuable vegetables put into the basket.

At dinner in the evening, Yan Bugui hurriedly showed off what he had harvested that day.

"Look at what I've gained today. I have collected all of this without leaving the hospital. Isn't that amazing?"

"That's amazing, Dad. How did you do it? Why are they willing to give it to you?"

"Hey, this is my plan." Yan Bugui pointed at his head proudly, "Do you want to know?"

"Yes." Several little ones nodded.

Yan Bugui got these vegetables without leaving the hospital, which was no less than picking up a few cents at his doorstep.

"Learn it well. My trick works every time." Yan Bugui immediately explained his method.

After understanding Yan Bugui's plan, Yan Jiecheng said immediately, "Dad, this is not good. He is plotting against our family. Besides, he is making a big deal out of such a small matter. This is too serious."

"We are all from the same courtyard. It's really shameful to do this. For such a small thing, you don't even care about your face."

Yan Jiecheng felt ashamed of Yan Bugui's scheme. They were from the same courtyard, but they were plotting against each other like this. There had never been such a blatant scheme before.

"You know shit!" Yan Bugui became unhappy when he heard Yan Jiecheng was so disrespectful.

"If you don't make money by eating and drinking, you will be poor. If I don't do this, how can I get these dishes?"

"Face is worth only a few dollars. If you are capable, you can get me some food. If you can get it, I am the most capable one. I admire you."

"How could I get it? If I could get it, I would have changed jobs long ago." Yan Jiecheng retorted in a low voice.

"If you can't do it, just shut up. Do you think I want to lose face? If I don't do this, how can I support you guys?" Yan Bugui shouted.

"You still owe money to your family. If there was money at home, I would have gone out to buy food long ago, and I wouldn't have to calculate like this."

When it comes to this, Yan Jiecheng is speechless. The money he owes to his family is his biggest worry.

As long as you bring it up, I guarantee he will be speechless.

Yan Bugui said coldly: "Humph, if you have the ability to get food, I won't have to lose face like this."

He had finally come up with such a good idea, but Yan interpreted it so poorly. How could he be happy?

The little ones were frightened by Yan Bugui's angry look and lowered their heads, not daring to eat.

Seeing the situation tense, the third aunt immediately stepped out to act as a peacemaker: "Alright, alright, boss, please stop talking. We are all a family and harmony is the most important thing."

"Jie Cheng, apologize to your father. Your father is also thinking about the family."

"I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize!" Yan Jiecheng slammed the table and left without even eating.

Yan Bugui was immediately furious and slammed the table: "Hey, you little brat, why are you so arrogant? Do you think you are so great?"

The little ones were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

The third aunt hurriedly grabbed Yan Bugui and said, "Master, calm down, calm down!"

"Xie Cheng is young and cares about his reputation. Don't worry about him. Do what you want to do. I support you."

"Listen! Listen, your mother agrees with me. If you don't run a household, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. You only know how to get food and clothes without opening your hands, and you don't understand the expenses of the family at all."

"Alright, calm down, boss." The third aunt immediately smoothed over Yan Bugui's temper, "Jie Cheng is just young and doesn't know any better."

"You are still young and ignorant. You are in your twenties and you don't know anything. Look at other people. They are all the heads of the family."

"You are the only one who still lives at home at this age."

Yan Bugui curled his lips, and the lower his voice became, the more he dared not to speak.

He knew what the situation was with Yan Jiecheng. Some of it was Yan Jiecheng's own fault, while some was caused by Yan Bugui.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng, lying in bed, felt very aggrieved.

How can a man in his twenties still have to pay back money to his family every month, let alone have a wife, he doesn’t even have a partner.

"Okay, boss, stop talking and eat. Keep using this method. It will add up to a lot and our family can save a lot of money on food."

"That's right." Yan Bugui nodded proudly.

This method of his is fine if used once or twice on a person, as everyone will give it up out of shame.

But it happens every time, and everyone understands it, so naturally it makes everyone dislike it.

Yan Bugui's reputation for being calculating also gradually began from this point on.

Afterwards, everyone saw Yan Bugui guarding the gate of the yard, staring at their vegetable baskets, and simply ignored them without even saying hello.

But Yan Bugui is not someone who will let it go so easily. He doesn't even care about his face, but still cares about this.

Everyone had no choice but to give it, and Yan Bugui's reputation became worse and worse.
