Late at night, at the Yan residence.
Yan Bugui and his wife were washing their feet and chatting.
"I heard that Li Weiguo invited a few people from his factory to a restaurant after work today.”Yan Bugui said.
"You're generous to outsiders, but you're stingy to a neighbor of a courtyard house.”Third Aunt pursed her lips.
"You can't say that." Yan Bugui shook his head.
How did the people of the Siheyuan treat Li Weiguo? What right did he have to treat people in the courtyard house?
If it was Yan Bugui, he would have calculated everything clearly.
After washing his feet, Yan Bugui said to his wife,"We need to build a good relationship with Li Weiguo.”
"But Li Weiguo is unpopular in the quad!”Third Aunt frowned.
Li Weiguo was a loner in the Siheyuan, so those who wanted to build a good relationship with him didn't dare to.
Moreover, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Li Weiguo's heart was no longer in the courtyard house.
If it was possible, Li Weiguo would have moved long ago.
"I'll think about it again." Yan Bugui said.
……
Early in the morning, Li Weiguo saw Xu Damao next door dressed up like a dog.
Xu Damao changed into a new set of clothes and even put on leather shoes. He looked much more energetic.
Seeing Li Weiguo brushing his teeth and washing his face in the courtyard, Xu Damao said proudly,""Li Weiguo, I, Xu Damao, have a partner. Do you know who my partner is? Miss Lou."
"Silly Zhu said that you are destined to die, so don't cheat other girls, be a human!”Li Weiguo said with a smile.
"What is it? Silly Zhu said I'm doomed?" Xu Damao's eyes were filled with anger as he gritted his teeth.
Xu Damao and Silly Zhu had been sworn enemies since they were young. Now, he believed what Li Weiguo said.
Without even eating breakfast, Xu Damao angrily went to find Silly Zhu to settle the score.
"Lou Xiao'e?" Li Weiguo was deep in thought.
Lou Xiao'e was the daughter of a capitalist. She was pretty and had a good character. It would be a pity to marry Xu Damao.
Others might not know, but Li Weiguo knew that Xu Damao had a problem with his body.
In the original novel, Xu Damao beat and scolded Lou Xiao'e a lot. After divorcing Lou Xiao'e, he even reported the Lou family and forced them to flee abroad.
In this era, the capitalists were not good, and the Lou family was still a big capitalist with a big business. Lou Xiao'e's father used to be called Lou Bancheng, and the owner of the Red Star Rolling Mill was Lou Zhenhua. However, it was now a state-owned enterprise, and Lou Zhenhua was the director of the rolling mill.
Xu Damao's mother used to be a servant of the Lou family and had a good relationship with Lou Xiao'e's mother, Lou Tanshi.
Because the composition was not good, the Lou family took a fancy to Xu Damao's composition.
Moreover, Xu Damao was also a projectionist, so he was somewhat cultured.
Lou Xiao'e was a good woman, and Li Weiguo couldn't watch her fall into the fire pit.
"Xu Damao was so smug just now and even said that Lou Xiao'e is his girlfriend. It seems that he and Lou Xiao'e are about to get married.”Li Weiguo thought to himself.
In this day and age, if you were to date someone, you would get married quickly. If you were to date someone who did not have marriage as your goal, you would be a hooligan. If you were to date for half a year, you would be criticized, let alone a year or a few years.
……
This morning, he signed in for a box of instant noodles and a mouse trap.
After boiling water, a bowl of instant noodles was breakfast.
As for the packaging, he burned it.
Not long after, the fragrance of the instant noodles spread.
"It smells so good! The taste comes from Li Weiguo."
"What is Li Weiguo eating so early in the morning?”
"It smells so good."
Many people looked at Li Weiguo, and a few children came to Li Weiguo's door.
"The heavens are really blind. Why didn't they strike Li Weiguo to death with a bolt of lightning?”Jia Zhangshi cursed.
Seeing Li Weiguo eating and drinking so well, Jia Zhangshi was jealous!
The Jia family was currently in the most difficult situation in the quad, and Li Weiguo was the only one in the quad who had not helped the Jia family.
"I don't want to eat corn paste." The stick was throwing a tantrum.
Qin Huairu tried to coax him, but it was to no avail.
Little Dang also wanted to eat well, which gave Qin Huiru a headache.
Now, the Jia family only ate some coarse grains every day, followed by wild vegetables and cabbage.
In fact, the Jia family still had some money. Jia Zhangshi's retirement money was dozens of yuan. Jia Dongxu also had some private money, but he didn't take it out.
The entire family relied on Qin Huiru's salary.
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu's monthly salary was only 18.5 yuan, which was enough for the entire family to not starve to death. If they wanted to eat their fill, they would have to rely on others to feed them. However, it was not easy for anyone these days.
Because Jia Dongxu was still alive, even though Silly Zhu provided financial aid to the Jia family, it was not like what happened in the original novel. Yi Zhonghai provided even less financial aid to the Jia family.
Qin Huiru was no longer a widow, and she would not divorce and marry Silly Zhu. Since he could not use Qin Huiru to tie Silly Zhu up, Yi Zhonghai did not care too much about Qin Huiru.
"Li Weiguo is really something." Jia Dongxu also cursed.
Back then, the mother and son of the Jia family had wanted Li Weiguo to compensate for their losses and apologize, so that the matter could be put behind them. After all, because Li Weiguo wanted to cut off the dowry, the Jia family had given Qin Huairu's family a few more yuan as betrothal gifts.
If Li Weiguo had given ten yuan to the Jia family back then, the matter would have been over. The people in the quad would not have ostracized Li Weiguo, but Li Weiguo did not bow his head.
After all, Li Weiguo had transmigrated. His personality and outlook were different from the people of this era.
If it was someone else, it was fine to suffer a little grievance. It was important to have a good relationship with the neighbors. However, Li Weiguo did not want to do that.
Now, although Li Weiguo had been sidelined in the courtyard house, his life was quite good.
It was enough to have some friends in the factory.
As the old saying goes, time reveals a person's heart. After a long time, everyone could see Li Weiguo's character.
And everyone saw the Jia family's face.
Actually, Jia Dongxu should thank Li Weiguo.
Because of the butterfly effect caused by Li Weiguo's transmigration, Jia Dongxu did not die.
Although Jia Dongxu had become a cripple, it was better to live a lazy life than to die a good death.
As for Qin Huairu, she was in a tough spot.
If Jia Dongxu died, Qin Huiru's burden would be lightened. Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai would provide her with more financial aid, and the factory would also give her more compensation.
Since Jia Dongxu did not die, the factory only gave him a pension of 100 yuan.
If Jia Dongxu died, the compensation given by the factory would be at least 300 yuan.
Qin Huairu only had a cornbread and a bowl of plain water for breakfast, while Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu both had two cornbread.
When Qin Huairu went out, she saw Li Weiguo riding his bicycle to work.
……
On the way to work, Li Weiguo casually threw the mouse trap given by the system on the roadside.
Li Weiguo didn't have any rats, so he didn't need them. As for selling them, he didn't have much money.
However, not long after Li Weiguo left, Silly Zhu picked up the mouse trap.
"This is a good mousetrap. Who threw it?”Silly Zhu took a closer look and found that there was no problem with the mouse trap.
Thinking that there was no mousetrap at home, Silly Zhu kept the mousetrap.
After thinking for a while, Silly Zhu ran home and put the mouse trap at home. Then, he rushed to work and was not late.
