Everyone understood what was going on. They pointed at Qin Huairu and whispered among themselves.
"I, I didn't know that fifteen yuan was too much. I shouldn't have asked for so much money.”As he spoke, Qin Huairu started to cry again.
Her pitiful appearance really made one's heart ache. In addition, she was supporting a family by herself. For a moment, the hearts of the people in the courtyard softened.
"Qin Huairu, we know that it's not easy for you to support a family on your own, but 15 yuan is too much for you. Just apologize to Zhong Shan and let it go.”Yi Zhonghai saw that it was about time, so he stood up and said.
" Yes, yes, yes. Apologize to Zhong Shan."
The other people in the courtyard echoed.
Indeed, Qin Huairu's actions had softened the hearts of everyone present.
Only Zhong Shan knew that Qin Huai Ru was not as simple as he appeared to be.
"Zhong Shan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken so much money from you.”Now that she had a way out, Qin Huairu immediately stepped down. She didn't want her people to fall apart in front of so many people.
Zhong Shan admired this kind of woman. She was able to take things lightly and put them down easily. She was good at disguising herself and was good at using small tricks. Unfortunately, these small tricks were used in the wrong places.
If Qin Huairu used these methods on the right path, his life would definitely be upgraded by several levels. In the future, he would not be any worse than Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai was a level-eight fitter in the rolling mill. He earned ninety-nine yuan a month. At this time, ninety-nine yuan was definitely a high salary.
The salaries of many department directors in the rolling mill could not compare to Yi Zhonghai's.
"I'll let it go this time, but there must not be a next time. Qin Huairu, we're just living in the same courtyard. I'll respect you and call you Sister Qin, but don't cause trouble for me.”
After he finished speaking, Zhong Shan snorted coldly and ignored the people in the courtyard. He turned around and left the courtyard house.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to go with the flow and was afraid of being isolated and targeted by the group, Zhong Shan would not have bothered with these people in the courtyard house. After all, in this era, it would be very dangerous to be targeted by the group.
Zhong Shan's current plan was to rope in some of them and ignore some of them. He would try his best to keep himself out of the small matters of the Siheyuan.
After Zhong Shan left, the people in the middle court also dispersed.
However, Qin Huairu wanted to help Zhong Shan wash his clothes, so the 15 yuan reward from Zhong Shan quickly spread throughout the courtyard.
When everyone heard the news, their first reaction was shock. Their second reaction was to scold Qin Huairu for being shameless. Fifteen yuan? How dare she dream about that?
Yan Family.
Yan Bugui, Third Aunt, Yan Da, Yu Li, Yan Er, Yan San, and Yan Jiedi were having breakfast.
Breakfast was cornmeal and a few pieces of meat left from last night.
The half of the pork that was distributed last night was about three taels, and he had to keep it until noon.
" Qin Huairu is really daring. Fifteen yuan? Zhong Shan only earns twenty-five yuan a month. How could Zhong Shan give him fifteen yuan?”Yan Bugui's face was filled with disdain.
"That's right. It's so simple to wash clothes. I'll even pay you ten yuan, let alone fifteen yuan.”Yan Er said as he ate his cornmeal.
"It's just washing clothes. Why is it so expensive? Five yuan is already a lot.”Yan San said.
"Stop talking so much nonsense. After the New Year, find a job for me and share the burden with the family.”Yan Bugui looked at Yan Er and Yan San unhappily.
Hearing Yan Bugui's words, Yan Er and Yan San fell silent.
It wasn't that they didn't want to find a job, but it was too difficult to find one.
Liu Haizhong's family situation was the same as theirs. Other than the boss who had a job, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian also lived at home.
"Dad, Mom, haven't you realized that Qin Huairu is trying to take advantage of our family? If we really let her help Zhong Shan wash clothes, wouldn't we have no meat to eat in the future?”Yan Jiedi suddenly said.
"It seems so." Yan Bugui glared at him and started calculating." Even if I don't get meat every time, I can still earn three yuan a month by paying ten cents a time. I can make this deal and talk to Zhong Shan about it."”
As he said that, Yan Bugui seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Yu Li and asked,""Yu Li, is it okay for you to go to his place to help wash his clothes every day after work?”
"I'm fine." Yu Li nodded without thinking. This was exactly what she wanted.
"Okay, that's good. I'll go and talk to Zhong Shan. I'll take two yuan from the three yuan and you can take one. After all, I agreed to let you go.”Yan Bugui calculated.
Yu Li did not have any objections to Yan Bugui's arrangement. It was just one yuan, not too important. The important thing was that she could spend more time with Zhong Shan by washing his clothes every day.
After breakfast, Yan Bugui was in a good mood because he didn't have to do anything. He was about to increase his monthly income by two yuan.
However, a rumor suddenly spread in the courtyard.
It was said that Zhong Shan asked Yu Li and Yan Jiedi to wash the clothes for the pork because he liked Yan Jiedi. Otherwise, how could he wash a few sets of clothes and give them to the pork?
This statement was approved by many people. Zhong Shan was already twenty years old, and Yan Jiedi was seventeen. They would be adults next year and would graduate from high school soon.
It was normal for Zhong Shan to have feelings for Yan Jiedi. According to Yan Jiedi's situation, she might not go to university. In this case, it was not impossible for her to marry Zhong Shan.
During lunch, Yan Bugui and his family's expressions turned ugly.
"Old Yan, do you think that Zhong Shan has really taken a fancy to our fourth brother?”Third Aunt said nervously.
Yan Da, Yan Er, and Yan San's expressions were not good either. They did not know who was spreading the rumors.
Anyway, they did not think highly of Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan's salary was too low and he was not worthy of their little sister.
Yan Jiedi's brows were tightly knitted together as she thought to herself, could it be that Zhong Shan had really fallen for her? But she was not familiar with Zhong Shan.
"So what if you like Fourth Brother? With Zhong Shan's current situation, he's not worthy of our Fourth Brother. Isn't Fourth Brother still in school? Go to school after the new year. Don't come back if you don't have to. Just eat and live in school. I'll give you an extra yuan. I'll leave the laundry to Yu Li.”Yan Bugui was also frowning.
Then, he shook his head and said," No, this is really a bit of a loss. I have to give Weiqi an extra two yuan a month. When the time comes, I have to ask Zhongshan for five yuan to wash my clothes."”
Yu Li was the only one who knew what was going on.
Zhong Shan wasn't targeting Yan Jiedi, he was targeting her.
Yan Bugui's actions were exactly what Zhong Shan wanted.
Yu Li didn't try to explain herself.
"I don't know which bastard spread the rumor. If I catch him, I'll beat him to death.”Yan Da was furious.
Yan Er and Yan San agreed.
"Who is spreading rumors? Humph, who else could it be? The only people who could cause so much trouble in the courtyard were Xu Damao and Silly Zhu. Xu Damao went to his parents 'place. It couldn't be him. It could only be Silly Zhu.”Yan Bugui calmed down and immediately had a suspect.
Hearing that it might be Silly Zhu, Yan Da, Yan Er, and Yan San's expressions turned ugly. They couldn't beat Silly Zhu.
Suddenly, Yan Er thought of something and quickly looked up at Yan Bugui,""Dad, didn't Silly Zhu ask you to introduce him to a teacher from your school?”
"It's the awesome form teacher, Teacher Ran. Teacher Ran is a cultured person. Silly Zhu is just a stinky chef.”Yan Bugui said disdainfully.
Yan Bugui had indeed accepted Silly Zhu's gift, but he didn't plan to introduce it to Silly Zhu.
