After Liu Haizhong's operation, he had only lost 10 yuan from the sole, but in the end, he had given away 80 yuan for nothing.
It was simply a loss of blood!
What made him depressed was that he had lost a total of 90 yuan.
In the end, he did not succeed in his promotion and was misunderstood by everyone. His reputation was also affected to a certain extent.
This was simply stealing a chicken and losing rice, losing both the wife and the soldier!
This wasn't the most depressing thing. The most depressing thing was that he still didn't know which bastard imitated his handwriting to write an anonymous letter. Even a professional appraiser couldn't identify it.
Actually, Liu Haizhong was not convinced by the results of the test.
He actually wanted to continue the appraisal, but he was worried that the result would still be the same. Wouldn't he lose another fifty yuan in vain?
He had a premonition that this was a huge hole.
Helplessly, he could only admit that he was unlucky.
However, when he thought about how he had lost so much money for no reason, Liu Haizhong felt like his heart was bleeding!
Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai did not want to bring up those unbearable memories, so he did not pursue Liu Haizhong's responsibility. Otherwise, he would be even more unlucky!
……
On the other side, in his spare time, Silly Zhu started to plan how to deal with Zhu Fan.
Up until now, he had already suffered quite a bit at Zhu Fan's hands.
From the very beginning, on the night of the meeting in the courtyard, he had been kicked fiercely by Zhu Fan.
Later, in order to stop Zhu Fan from slapping Jia Zhangshi, he was punched by Zhu Fan.
Yesterday, Zhu Fan actually took the opportunity to push Jia Zhangshi, causing him to suffer greatly.
This morning, he was splashed with mud by Zhu Fan's bicycle again.
Just thinking about it made him angry!
He had always been a person who would take revenge. If he did not take revenge, he would not be called Silly Pillar!
After thinking hard, Shazhu finally thought of a plan to deal with Zhu Fan.
"Kid, you're so cocky. Just you wait and see…" he muttered to himself.
……
Zhu Fan didn't know that Silly Zhu was planning a second round of revenge against him.
However, even if he knew, he was not afraid. It was best if this fellow did not provoke him. If he did, he could only admit that he was unlucky.
The busy and fulfilling day passed quickly.
As usual, Zhu Fan got off work on time, then went to buy a pound of pork and some vegetables before returning to the courtyard house.
However, when he returned to the alley of the Siheyuan, he saw a woman walking toward him.
Upon closer inspection, it was actually Yu Li.
However, Lily seemed to be in a low mood. Her eyes were slightly red as if she had been wronged.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Fan thought that his chance had come.
Although the famous flower has a master, I will loosen the soil!
Zhu Fan pressed the bicycle's bell.
Ding! Ding!
Then, he stopped and greeted curiously,""Hey, aren't you Yu Li?"
Yu Li raised her head and sized up Zhu Fan. When her gaze fell on the bicycle, a strange look appeared in her eyes.
She thought to herself, I don't seem to know such a rich person.
"How do you know me? You…you are?"
Yu Li looked at Zhu Fan warily and asked.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person!" Zhu Fan smiled faintly. Um, aren't you dating Yan Jiecheng? I'm from the same compound as him!
I've heard of you and met you once. It's just that you didn't notice me! By the way, why are your eyes so red? What happened? If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I'll help you solve them!”
Hearing Zhu Fan's words, Yu Li was very touched.
"I quarreled with Yan Jiecheng!" she said aggrievedly.”
Hearing this, Zhu Fan thought to himself that this was great. Even the heavens were helping him!
Just as he was about to ask about the situation, Yu Li started talking again."I was at his house just now, discussing marriage with him! I said that our family wants a betrothal gift of five yuan!
However, he actually said that the one in the city was only five yuan. He was from the countryside and could only give half, two and a half yuan! How can I not be angry?
Since when did betrothal gifts have to be divided into rural and urban areas? Besides, were the people in the countryside inferior to those in the city?
I negotiated with him a few times, but he refused to compromise. In a fit of anger, I left!”
Hearing this, Zhu Fan thought to himself,'Good fellow, as expected of Third Master's biological son.'
The son of a mouse knows how to dig holes!
Yan Jiecheng had indeed learned a lot from the Third Master, Yan Bugui. This guy was really good at scheming.
Even the betrothal gifts had to be calculated!
F * ck you, you want to haggle over a five yuan betrothal gift? You're simply inhumane!
Initially, Zhu Fan felt that it was not a good idea for him to poach someone, but now that he heard that, he had no choice but to poach someone.
How could he let such a good girl like Yu Li be held up by the Yan Family?
After thinking about it, Zhu Fan said on behalf of Yu Li,"This Yan Jiecheng is indeed a little too much. Miss Yu, you're so beautiful, but that guy didn't even want to give you a betrothal gift of five yuan. In my opinion, it's not too much to ask for a betrothal gift of 50 yuan for such a beautiful girl like you!”
Hearing this, Yu Li's eyes widened and she said in disbelief,"Am I worth fifty yuan?”
Zhu Fan nodded." Of course. I'm just making a conservative estimate. If I meet the right person, I can even get 100 yuan!"”
Hearing Zhu Fan's words, Yu Li completely lost her composure.
She didn't expect Zhu Fan to say that she was worth more than 50 yuan. However, when she thought about how Yan Jiecheng couldn't even bear to give her five yuan, she felt very uncomfortable.
It seemed that Yan Jiecheng did not think that she was that important. Otherwise, why would he haggle over such a small dowry?
In fact, her requirements were not high. She just wanted to find a man who was registered in the city, loved her, and treated her well.
During this period of time, she had been staying in her sister, Yu Haitang's small house. It was very crowded.
Therefore, she wanted to get married as soon as possible so that she could become a city citizen.
However, when she talked to Yan Jiecheng about the betrothal gift, Yan Jiecheng only gave her 2.50 yuan, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Actually, she didn't care about the 2.5 yuan. She just felt that Yan Jiecheng looked down on her because she was from the countryside and didn't deserve the five yuan betrothal gift. This was the most uncomfortable part of her.
Yu Li said gratefully," Thank you for telling me this. You're such a good person. I'm sure your wife must be very happy, right?"”
"I'm not married yet!" Zhu Fan smiled.”
"What? I think you're very good. You're also calm and handsome. How can he not have a wife?" Yu Li said in disbelief.
"I didn't meet any suitable ones, did I?" Zhu Fan shrugged and smiled faintly.”
Hearing this, Yu Li's heart was like a small deer running around. She wondered if she had a chance.
Anyway, she had already given up on Yan Jiecheng. He couldn't even bear to give her a five-yuan betrothal gift. How good could a man like him be to you after you got married?
Yu Li's face was slightly red. Zhu Fan was not stupid. He felt that there was a chance, so he suggested,"Miss Yu, you don't seem to be a local, right? Did you have a good tour of the Forbidden City?”
"No!" Yu Li shook her head. Yan Jiecheng wanted to bring me around on his bicycle, but his father refused to give it to him.”
Zhu Fan thought to himself, Third Uncle is going fishing on his bicycle. Why would he let the two of you go on a date?
"If you don't mind, I'll take you for a walk." He smiled. I'll also take a look at the performance of my new car.”
"Really? Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Yu Li said excitedly. It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful bicycle, let alone sat on it.
Zhu Fan nodded." Of course it's true. Come on up!" I just bought this bicycle yesterday. No one has ever sat on the back seat before. You're the first. It seems that we're quite fated!”
Hearing this, Yu Li didn't stand on ceremony and sat on it openly!
Needless to say, the feeling of sitting in a luxury car was different!
"Hold on tight!"
Zhu Fan said and sped up!
Yu Li was shocked. In a moment of desperation, she hurriedly protected Zhu Fan from behind.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that this man seemed to give her a sense of security!
……
Yan Family!
When Yan Bugui returned from work, he took a look at his house and frowned,""Jie Cheng, didn't you say that Yu Li would come over tonight to discuss the marriage?”
"Yes, we did!" Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.”
"What? What was going on? Have you reached an agreement on the betrothal gift? How much is it?"
This was the question that Yan Bugui was most concerned about.
"Dad, don't worry about that!" Yan Jiecheng smiled confidently. Let me tell you, I can definitely lower the betrothal gift to the lowest!”
Hence, he told her what he had discussed with Yu Li today.
Yan Jiecheng smiled and said,""I'll lower the betrothal gift to 2.5 yuan first so that she won't be able to accept it.
I'll look for her tomorrow and raise the betrothal gift to three yuan. Wouldn't that make it easier for her to accept?
If I had lowered the betrothal gift to three yuan from the beginning and she didn't agree, wouldn't I have to raise it to fifty cents? That would be four yuan. He had to spend an extra piece!
Wouldn't he be able to save a lot now?”
Hearing his son's words, Yan Bugui gave Yan Jiecheng a thumbs up.""Alright boss, you've already grasped the essence! You can leave your apprenticeship now!"
When he thought about how his boss had saved a few yuan for his family in terms of betrothal gifts, Yan Bugui felt very happy. He had not taught him for nothing all these years…
