The sun was setting.
Zhong Shan returned to the courtyard house. As soon as he returned to the front yard, he was stopped by Yan Bugui.
"Third Uncle, what are you doing?" Seeing Yan Bugui stopping him, Zhong Shan asked in confusion.
"Zhong Shan, there's something I need to tell you.”Yan Bugui said seriously.
"Yes." Zhong Shan nodded.
"Do you like my Fourth Brother?”Yan Bugui stared at Zhong Shan, afraid that he would miss any expression on Zhong Shan's face.
"Your fourth brother?" Zhong Shan was stunned for a moment before he reacted," You mean Yan Jiedi? Third Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Zhong Shan was now thinking about Yu Li, his mind was not on Yan Jiedi.
Moreover, if he really wanted Yan Jiedi, he wouldn't say it in front of Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui was a scheming expert. If Zhong Shan dared to agree, Yan Bugui would definitely start a fight with Zhong Shan. This could be seen from Yan Bugui's expression.
Seeing Zhong Shan's reaction, Yan Bugui heaved a sigh of relief," That's good. It's just that there was a rumor in the courtyard that you like my Fourth Brother, so I couldn't help but come over to ask you."”
"Rumors?" Zhong Shan was puzzled. Before he left the courtyard house this morning, he did not hear any rumors from him. Could it be that something had happened in the courtyard that he did not know about in less than a day?
Instead, Zhong Shan had always been avoiding trivial matters in the courtyard house. Zhong Shan believed that he had never offended anyone.
If she had to say who she had offended, it would be Qin Huiru. However, it was clearly Qin Huiru who was in the wrong. Moreover, Qin Huiru spreading rumors about her and Yan Jiedi would not benefit Qin Huiru in any way. With Qin Huiru's character, she would never do anything that would not benefit her.
"I suspect that it was Silly Zhu who said it." Yan Bugui gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Silly Zhu?" Hearing Yan Bugui's words, Zhong Shan's eyes flashed. If Silly Zhu was spreading rumors behind his back, then it was possible.
After all, Zhong Shan had embarrassed Qin Huiru in the courtyard this morning. With Silly Zhu's character, he was really capable of spreading rumors.
However, Zhong Shan did not expect that Silly Zhu would provoke him instead of him.
What a damned guy.
"Yes, it's Silly Zhu, but I don't have any evidence, otherwise I would have held a meeting to criticize him.”Yan Bugui gritted his teeth.
Zhong Shan nodded, indicating that he understood.
It was not an easy task to deal with Silly Zhu. Silly Zhu was too thick-skinned. If one wanted to deal with him, they had to defeat him completely.
Although Silly Zhu had spread rumors about Zhong Shan in the courtyard and didn't cause any losses to Zhong Shan, he didn't want to let Silly Zhu off so easily since he had provoked him.
After thinking for a while, Zhong Shan already had a way to deal with Silly Zhu.
"There's one more thing Third Uncle wants to tell you.”Yan Bugui continued.
"Third Uncle, go ahead." Zhong Shan said.
"I already know about what happened this morning. Qin Huairu is a scoundrel. He actually wanted 15 yuan from you to wash your clothes.”Yan Bugui said as if he was fighting for justice for Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan thought that Yan Bugui was really expressing his dissatisfaction towards Qin Huairu. Then, Yan Bugui changed his tone.
"Zhong Shan, how about this? I'll ask Yu Li to wash your clothes for you every day, and you'll give me five yuan a month.”Yan Bugui looked at Mount Zhong expectantly.
Zhong Shan looked at Yan Bugui with a meaningful look.
As expected, Yan Bugui had a motive for stopping him.
This expert in the world of scheming had schemed against his daughter-in-law. Zhong Shan was sure that if he really got the five yuan, he would definitely get a share.
Zhong Shan smiled.
This Yan Bugui was simply pushing Yu Li onto him. If Zhong Shan did not accept it, he would be letting himself down and Yan Bugui down.
"Five yuan is a little too much, but it's not impossible for you to wash my clothes every day.”Zhong Shan pretended to feel a little heartache, but he still agreed in the end.
The purpose of Zhong Shan's pretense was to make Yan Bugui feel at ease.
"Then it's settled." Hearing Zhong Shan agree, Yan Bugui was extremely happy." Then, are you going to give me the five yuan first?"”
Yan Bugui looked at Mount Zhong expectantly.
"Is Yu Li here? I have a set of clothes with me. Ask her to come with me to wash the clothes. After washing them, I'll bring the money back for her.”Zhong Shan thought for a moment.
"Okay, Yu Li is at home now. Wait here. I'll go get her.”After he finished speaking, Yan Bugui quickly walked back to his room.
"Yu Li, go to Zhong Shan's place to wash your clothes now. Remember to bring back the five yuan for this month's laundry after you're done.”
Yan Bugui said to Yu Li as soon as he returned to his room.
Third Aunt, Yan Da, Yan Er, Yan San, and Yan Jiedi were also sitting in the room.
Hearing Yan Bugui's words, they already knew that Zhong Shan had agreed. A faint smile appeared on their faces.
In the future, their family would have an extra five yuan a month.
"Fourth, don't go. I'm afraid that Zhong Shan will have designs on you. In the future, I'll leave the laundry to Yu Li.”Yan Bugui suddenly thought of something and said to Yan Jiedi.
Even though he had just learned from Zhong Shan that he was not interested in Yan Jiedi, Yan Bugui was still a little worried.
Originally, Yan Jiedi wanted to follow Yu Li. She wanted to ask if Zhong Shan really liked her, but Yan Bugui didn't allow her to go, so she couldn't follow Yu Li.
Yan Jiedi made up her mind to find an opportunity to ask Zhong Shan. This was the first time she was liked by someone. Although it was a rumor, she still had a different feeling in her heart.
Yan Da also reminded Yu Li not to talk to Zhong Shan when she went to his place. She also told him to come back immediately after washing his clothes. If Zhong Shan dared to have any designs on her, she had to shout loudly.
Looking at Yan Da who was mumbling, Yan Bugui said unhappily,""Alright, stop being so mysterious. Zhong Shan won't take a fancy to Yu Li. Yu Li, hurry up and leave. Don't make Zhong Shan wait for too long.”
Yu Li looked at Yan Bugui meaningfully.
If she could say it, she would definitely say,"You're wrong. Zhong Shan has taken a liking to me."
Looking at Yan Bugui pushing her onto Zhong Shan in such a hurry, if she still felt a little guilty towards the Yan Family before, then now, she felt nothing.
"Why would Zhong Shan fall for Yu Li?”Third Aunt interrupted.
"That's right, that bastard Silly Zhu must have seen through something and secretly spread rumors.”Yan Er and Yan San echoed.
When Yan Jiedi heard this, her face turned slightly red.
Yan Da was also relieved.
Yan Bugui felt that it made sense, but he had no evidence.
Now, he could at least earn a few yuan from Zhong Shan every month. Yan Bugui did not want to offend Zhong Shan too much. If he offended Zhong Shan, the few yuan would be gone.
