Chapter 956: Ma Lan's plan
Dazhuang was just trying it on purpose. He didn't expect to influence Ma Lan right away... after all, they just met today.
"That's the gentleman's business and has nothing to do with you... I have never had any problem with Comrade Ma Lan."
Ma Lan looked the bucktoothed man up and down, and her guess was almost correct... the other party was definitely a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken - he had no good intentions!
"That's what I said, but if your wife knew... she would come to kill me. That Feng is not a good man."
When Dazhuang saw that Ma Lan had no intention of turning hostile, he knew something was going to happen...
"We can even beat the gongs and drums to notify everyone when we go to eat!"
Now Ma Lan is not so easily fooled. Since this guy wants to be like Ximen Qing, Ma Lan plans to be like Sun Erniang.
"Go away, go play somewhere else and don't come and laugh with me..."
……
The two of them were talking and laughing...
Now that he had caught fire, Da Zhuang looked at the laughing Ma Lan and felt that it would not be difficult to do it with his own methods...
But what he didn't know was that Sha Zhu had been licking for years without getting any taste... let alone him who was even uglier.
Ma Lan married Jia Dongxu just for his appearance, not for food and drink... Da Zhuang wanted to trick Ma Lan with two meals of meat, but he was really overthinking!
After the three people from Dazhuang left, Ma Lan took out some melon seeds and shared them with everyone...
"Lan Zi, what was that bucktooth guy talking to you about just now? He even gave you a bag of roasted melon seeds... I'm telling you, that guy is no good, you better be careful."
Ma Lan suddenly laughed: "Sister Huang, do you think I'm stupid? I've known him for a long time... I don't know who he is, so don't worry! Just watch how I deal with him..."
"That's right, it's not even a little bit worse than your Dongxu!"
Several women ate Dazhuang's melon seeds and started to discuss Dazhuang's appearance...
Dazhuang returned to the workshop and reported to Tong Zhi that he had already contacted Ma Lan. The next step was to take further action...
Tong Zhi also praised Dazhuang...

three days later
Under the witness of He Daqing, Yan Bugui handed Guo Dapiezi one hundred and five yuan.
These were the materials that He Daqing had calculated. Yan Bugui calculated them twice and confirmed that they were correct before giving the money to Guo Dapiezi.
After Guo Dapiezi got the money, he counted it immediately.
"Old Yan, you can't do this... Many things have different premiums every day, you have to add at least ten yuan. Otherwise, I'm not sure I can buy so many things..."
When Yan Bugui heard that the premium was nearly 10%, he immediately felt distressed...
When other people ask Guo Dapiaozi to get supplies, they will give him a 10% premium... After all, this is too risky, mainly because no tickets are required, and sometimes a 30% premium is possible.
He Daqing counted the money again and said, "Old Yan, can't you be generous for once? If you really can't afford it, why don't you just not do it in the first place?"
Yan Bugui didn't want to do it, but if he didn't make a big deal about such a happy event as his eldest son's marriage... the whole Nanluoguxiang would poke him in the spine, and he would be laughed at in the Siheyuan in the future.
However, the couple also agreed that when their second son gets married, the Yan family will no longer accept gifts... nor will they hold a grand wedding.
"Lao He, Lao Guo, I...I got this money from the salary I received yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have waited until now to prepare the banquet. This month's living expenses are still a problem..."
Yan Bugui's words were pitiful, but Guo Dapiezi didn't buy it at all. A good cook cannot cook without rice... No one can get supplies without money. Guo Dapiezi would not put money into it...
"Old Yan, please think of another way... This is not going to be easy!"
Just when the three were in a stalemate, Yan Jiecheng came running over to give them money.
Just when Yan Bugui left, Meimei had already heard that they needed to buy food for the banquet tomorrow...
"Dad, don't make things difficult for Uncle He and Uncle Guo. I'll give you this ten yuan. It should be enough for Meimei and I to eat next month!"
Yan Bugui was stunned. How could he have such a stupid son?
I'm arguing with these two guys just to get a hundred and five dollars, but I don't have the money, but I have my life. You two should find a way!
So what does it mean that you give me next month's living expenses in advance?
When Guo Dapiezi saw that Yan Bugui refused to take the money, he immediately took it from Yan Jiecheng.
"Okay, okay, it's still soybeans... Jie Cheng knows how to get things done. Your uncle He has saved your family as much as possible... Your father just wanted to replace another meat dish with a vegetarian one."
Just now, Yan Bugui didn't want to pay the ten yuan because he wanted He Daqing to change the menu. Now the ten yuan has been paid. One more meat dish can be served on the table...
Yan Bugui saw that Guo Dapiaozi had already taken the money, and he felt so upset that he couldn't breathe. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his heart was bleeding...
"Lao He, you can't... forget it, let's just do it this way! I'll go home and tighten my belt..."
He Daqing looked at the stingy man's depressed back and sneered...
"Jie Cheng, go home and persuade your father. Three meat dishes and six vegetable dishes are already the minimum standard... There is really no way to lower it any further."
Just now, the young couple came to give money on purpose after they heard what my mother said about their father's motives. Anyway, it's the living expenses for next month...
"Hey, thank you Uncle He... Let's go with three meat dishes and six vegetable dishes. The meat dishes really can't be reduced any further, otherwise we would be embarrassed... Meimei asked me to come and give you the money."
……
Intermediate Court
As a result, just as Yan Jiecheng and He Daqing left, Yi Zhonghai walked out of his house.
The Yan family will be preparing a feast tomorrow, and he decided to hire Jia Zhang, the big rascal in the courtyard...
This time he went straight to the Jia family without any hiding.
After Yi Zhonghai entered the room, Ma Lan and Jia Dongxu frowned slightly.
"Yi Zhonghai, don't go too far. Why did you come to our house?"
Ma Lan is not afraid of the other party, because her brother from her mother's side is her best backer.
Yi Zhonghai didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose...
"Comrade Ma Lan, please don't misunderstand me. Just listen to me..."
Jia Zhang put down her bowl and looked at the other person: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, fart quickly... I don't want to talk nonsense to you."
Yi Zhonghai still wanted Jia Zhang to get things done tomorrow, so he didn't bother with him now.
"Comrade Ma Lan, the one who messed with our two families last time was that old guy Yan Bugui. He doesn't care about the feelings of an old neighbor... Now we can't let him have his way. As long as your mother does something tomorrow... We can discuss your conditions."
When Jia Zhang heard that Yi Zhonghai was here to discuss disrupting the Yan family's banquet...her own hostage was here!
When Jia Zhang thought about having the meat coupons to let Ma Lan make dumplings, she immediately became happy again.
"Old Yi, if you want to do this, you can, but you have to give me four taels of meat tickets. Otherwise, forget it. There is no such thing as ordering people around for free in this world."
