Ye Chuan didn't take it seriously, nor did he feel pity.
The Jia family was the least worthy of sympathy in the courtyard house. In the era of lack of food and clothing, the reason why Jia Zhangshi could be so rich was largely related to the leftovers that Silly Zhu brought from the canteen.
Qin Huairu used her advantage to control Silly Zhu. She did not even let the person who treated her the best lay a finger on her. It was different for the others. They could eat a steamed bun and accept Yi Zhonghai's food in the middle of the night. Only a fool would believe that the two of them were innocent!
However, Ye Chuan did not expect that the hypocritical Yi Zhonghai would not even want to pretend in front of the Ye family. Instead, he took a sip of the cigarette and wine that he had given as a gift and wanted to occupy their house.
Perhaps Yi Zhonghai felt that his family was too easy to control. Ye Yongshun was just a loading and unloading worker in the factory and would not have any development in his life. In the past, Ye Chuan was taciturn and no one in the courtyard liked him.
The afternoon work was a little busy. After collecting a full cart, the two of them rode the tricycle to send the waste back to the business point and then came out to continue collecting.
The second time he went back to the service point to deliver the waste, a person came in with a pile of waste.
Ye Chuan was amused when he saw that. The person was holding a deformed bicycle. For some reason, the front wheel was bent, and even the beam was broken.
"Comrade, your car was bitten by a dog?”Ye Chuan teased.
The man said dejectedly,"Hai, I drank some wine last night and rode home. I rode a little too fast and hit a tree.”
Everyone burst into laughter. The man looked at the bicycle that was like scrap metal with some heartache.
"I just bought this car less than a month ago, and the procedures are still new!”
Department Director Tang noticed the movement in the courtyard and walked out of the office. He walked around the bicycle and said,"Comrade, how much do you want to sell it for?"
The man pondered for a moment, then extended five fingers and said,"Fifty to fifty yuan! I'll give you the procedures as well!"
Department Director Tang was amused." Comrade, are you kidding me?" Other than the rear tire, it was just a pile of scrap metal. There was no point in repairing it. Besides, we collect them as waste.”
"How much do you want?"
Director Tang was pondering when Ye Chuan walked up to him and whispered,"Director, if it's useless to get it from the store, I want it!”
Department Director Tang nodded subtly and said,"This bicycle has a good tire. I'll give you ten yuan. No one will pay more than this price outside of this place.”
The corners of the man's mouth twitched. Clearly, he was right. He had gone to many places, but none of them had cost more than ten yuan.
"Alright! I'll give it to you!"
Ye Chuan quickly took out a large piece of paper and handed it over. Then, he took a look at the paperwork and nodded in satisfaction.
After that person left, Department Director Tang said with some surprise,"Xiao Ye, you want to save a bicycle?”
Ye Chuan nodded and said," Thank you, Director Tang. I really want to save a bicycle for my dad to ride. The rear tire and backseat of this bicycle are quite good. I'll slowly gather the other parts!"”
Department Director Tang did not take it seriously. It was just a small matter.
It was already four in the afternoon. Fatty Han and Ye Chuan didn't go out anymore, and the colleagues outside had also come back one after another.
The work here was very free. As long as the task was completed, Department Director Tang would not interfere too much. Even so, no one was willing to do this job. Ye Chuan finally knew the reason.
It was a busy day, and the two of them had to make trips to deliver the waste back to the service point. Fatty Han was so strong that he was exhausted. If he had to ride a tricycle, he would probably be exhausted after one or two trips.
The sun and the wind outside were really unbearable. Fatty Han had only been here for a year or two, but his face and body were already tanned.
After returning home from work, Ye Chuan took a bunch of bicycles back to the house when his mother wasn't paying attention.
Ye Yongshun had not gotten off work yet, and Liu Yue was cooking. She was still cooking pork ribs. If she did not eat them today, they would go bad.
The neighbors in the courtyard came back one after another, but they didn't exchange pleasantries like before. There was almost no sound in the courtyard. Needless to say, they should all know about Jia Dongxu's injury.
When Ye Yongshun arrived home, his expression was very calm. Liu Yue asked,""I heard that Jia Dongxu was injured. Is he okay?”
Ye Yongshun took a sip of water." How can he be fine? That's a large machine. It's good enough that he's alive. His legs are definitely gone!"”
"Too careless!" Liu Yue said with a frown. She suddenly felt that it was good for her son not to work in the rolling mill. Although collecting waste was not a good job, at least it could guarantee his safety.
"I heard that a worker took on a private job, and Jia Dongxu was so jealous that he insisted on interfering. He didn't do a good job, and his legs were caught in the machine.”
"Serves you right!" Ye Chuan interrupted.
Ye Yongshun glanced at his son and did not refute. Jia Dongxu was Yi Zhonghai's disciple and was used to being domineering in the yard and the factory. He deserved what happened today.
The Ye family had no dealings with the Jia family, and they didn't care if Jia Dongxu was injured or not. The family sat at the dining table and ate happily.
"Don't say it, bones do taste better than fat!”Ye Yongshun smacked his lips.
Liu Yue pursed her lips. Her heart still ached a little. How much fat could she buy with so much money? How much fat could she rely on?
Soon, the pot of bones was finished by the three of them. Ye Chuan burped happily.
At this moment, there was a heavy knock on the door of the house.
