Just these words alone were enough to prove that he had calculated everything clearly because he dared to say it openly.
When he first heard that Xu Damao was treating Juyi to a meal, he was a little jealous. His brain spun wildly, thinking if he could get a free meal.
But then he thought about it. What was the point of scheming? He had already stolen the chicken. He couldn't possibly stew both of them, right? This was an old hen that laid eggs.
"Ha, that's a coincidence. I reckon that you won't be able to eat this chicken.”He pointed at Xu Damao who had just come out of Silly Zhu's house and said,""I heard the commotion and came over to take a look, but I heard everything. Xu Damao's chicken was stolen. I suspect that it was Silly Zhu who stole it. Sigh, this matter has caused a ruckus. Second Uncle is preparing to hold a meeting of the entire academy.”
"Isn't it?" "There's even a full-academy meeting?" Ju Yi pretended to be surprised. It was just a chicken. Moreover, how could Silly Zhu steal a chicken? He was a chef, how could a chef lack food? His monthly salary was 37.5 yuan, which was enough for him to eat chicken every day. A chicken was only a few coins. He didn't have to steal, right?”
Third Uncle chuckled." Who knows? Xu Damao just lost one chicken, and Silly Zhu stewed the chicken. This is a coincidence. Who knows what to say?"”
Ju Yi pretended to be deep in thought and nodded.
Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and said,""Hey, Third Uncle, can I discuss something with you?”
"What's the matter? I'm listening.”Third Uncle's eyes didn't even move. He just stared at Xu Damao and the others happily.
Ju Yi didn't mind. He said bluntly," It's like this. I want to ask if Third Aunt is busy at home. I want to ask her to tidy up my house."”
"Hmm?"
Third Uncle turned his head to look at him with a surprised expression. He thought to himself, What do you mean by this, kid? Everyone in the Siheyuan knows that I, Third Uncle, am smart. How dare you scheme against me?
"Third Uncle, what's with that look in your eyes?" Ju Yi pretended to be unhappy as he looked at him."I'm alone at home. You know what my family's situation is like. I'm just a grown man and can't be bothered to tidy up the house.”
Seeing Third Uncle's expression change, he was about to speak when he quickly added,"Of course, I won't help you for free. Even if it's a neighbor's, we can't ask for help for free, right? How about this, I'll buy new clothes and bedding, and take some of the old ones in the house as my reward. Of course, we'll talk about washing clothes in the future. What do you think?”
Third Uncle's originally unhappy expression instantly turned from dark to bright. He chuckled and said,"Look at what you're saying. They were all neighbors, so how could they not help out with such a small matter? Alright, I'll go back and discuss this with the old woman. What do you think?”
Although she was polite, she felt extremely happy in her heart.
Why? That was because those old clothes and bedding were all good stuff!
In this day and age, it was already good enough to have clothes to wear. Who cared if you were new or old?
There was a lot of cotton inside. If the clothes were washed and the size changed, it would be a new set of clothes!
Take his children for example. No one had any opinions about the cotton-padded jacket. They had been wearing it for several years. It was always the eldest wearing it, the second wearing it, the third wearing it, and the next changing it.
With such conditions, why would he need a bicycle?
In this day and age, a cotton-padded jacket was not cheap. Who would be willing to buy a new set of clothes unless it was a holiday?
Most of the time, she would wear it during the new year. She would take it off in two days and wear it again next year. It would still be new. She could not bear to wear it at all!
"No, why should my wife help him tidy up the house? Didn't Yu Li have nothing to do all day? Let her do it. Yes, that's it. Let her do it. I have to negotiate with her.”
The scheming Third Master glanced at his daughter-in-law who was watching the show from afar, and the little scheme in his heart could not help but emerge again.
In his opinion, no matter what it was, he had to scheme if he could.
"If the old woman tidies up the things and brings them back, the eldest son's family will definitely want them. It's better to let his family do it directly and then let their own family get the benefits.”
The more he thought about it, the more feasible this plan became. He could not help but feel a little smug.
"Third Uncle, I've already said it. It's settled.”Ju Yi hurriedly said.
However, he was secretly laughing in his heart.
He had seen Third Uncle's glance just now, and he had some thoughts in his heart.
As for Third Aunt arranging it, he had no objections.
In any case, most of the things at home were not wanted. It would be good if someone could pack them for him.
Of course, it would be even better if Third Uncle had other thoughts. After all, he was a little thirsty.
Yan Jiecheng wasn't a good person to begin with. He was much worse than Third Uncle. It wasn't a loss to scam him.
"That's right. We men speak with a mouthful of saliva and a nail. How can we go back on our words?”Third Uncle shook his head and put on the attitude of a scholar. He said,"However, if your third aunt is busy and can't free herself, can you let others clean up for you? Of course, I'll definitely tidy up the house for you.”
"Someone else? Third Master, who are you referring to? Could it be Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuan? That wouldn't do. They were all grown men. Which one would pick it up better than the other?”Ju Yi waved his hand and said.
"Look at what you're saying. How can I not know this?”
Third Uncle knew his own limits. He knew better than anyone else what his two sons were like.
"It's like this. Our boss's wife, Yu Li, has nothing to do now, so I wanted to see if I could help you tidy up the house when I'm busy.”
"Third Uncle, are you kidding me?”He raised his voice a little, but then he seemed to have reacted. He leaned closer and said anxiously,"Aren't you pushing me into the fire pit?”
