Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 29 Bargaining ( words, please support!)

"Don't worry, I don't have any idea about your partner."

Seeing that Cheng Dezhi was becoming more and more depressed, Sun Liguo turned around and grunted for a long time before he finally uttered these words.

"Come on, can you please stop talking?" When Cheng Dezhi heard his words, he was not happy at all, but became even more depressed.

"Okay, Brother Sun doesn't mean that. Your father-in-law doesn't want to change his son-in-law. Think about it yourself. Once you figure it out, you won't be depressed anymore."

Seeing that the two funny guys were getting more and more awkward, Yang Ning quickly stepped forward, put his arm around Cheng Dezhi's shoulders and gave him some hints.

Yang Ning hasn't used this hugging gesture for a long time. Now thinking back, it was the youthfulness of his previous life!
"Really?" Sure enough, after hearing Yang Ning's words, Cheng Dezhi stared at Yang Ning with big eyes and expectant look.

"It's realer than real gold." Yang Ning looked at him seriously and nodded.

"Huh!" Cheng Dezhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was confused again. Since his father-in-law didn't plan to change his son-in-law, he almost fired me on the spot just now because he saw that I was not doing well.

Ignoring the prospective son-in-law who was in a state of confusion, Yang Ning let go of his hand, caught up with the somewhat embarrassed Sun Liguo in a few steps, and gave him a slap: "What, do you really have that idea?"

"No, man, don't talk nonsense about this!" Sun Liguo quickly took a few steps back. Seeing Cheng Dezhi's still confused eyes, he quickly argued, no, explained: "I really don't have that idea, and I already have a lover."

In order not to affect the relationship between brothers, Sun Liguo took the risk and did a big one.

"What the hell?" Yang Ning stared at him in disbelief, and even Cheng Dezhi was no longer confused.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Yang Ning stroked his chin and looked at the uneasy Sun Liguo, and said in amazement: "I didn't expect it. I thought you, Sun Liguo, a time-tested warrior, would stand firm. I didn't expect you to be single behind my back."

"That's right, what girl is so blind... No, she has such good vision that she can see the potential of Brother Sun."

Cheng Dezhi felt that his wife was in a safe position, and he stared at Sun Liguo with great interest, as if he wanted to see something.

Seeing that the relationship between the two of them had returned to normal, Yang Ning showed a relieved smile on his face.

"Brother Sun, tell me, which girl stole your heart?"

"It's Miss Jiang from the logistics department, but I haven't dared to tell her yet."

"What the hell?" When they heard that this was Sun Liguo's favorite person, not to mention Cheng Dezhi, even Yang Ning almost popped his eyes out.

"Why? What's wrong with Miss Jiang? She has a good personality and a big butt, so she must be good at giving birth."

Seeing their reactions, Sun Liguo became unhappy. He stopped and stared at them and questioned them.

"No, no, no, Miss Jiang is very nice." Cheng Dezhi said quickly with an embarrassed smile.

The Miss Jiang mentioned by Sun Liguo is the only daughter of Master Jiang, the head chef in the factory. She has followed Master Jiang in cooking since she was a child. She is well-fed and has a big figure of 1.8 meters, a true Barbie doll.

She also has a very manly personality. I heard that during the Besieged City, when Master Jiang was out on a mission, a few hooligans who wanted to take advantage of the situation came to her house.

When they went there, the three hooligans were all standing. When they came out, one was disabled and two were seriously injured. You have to know that at that time, only Miss Jiang and her mother, who was said to be from a scholarly family, were at home...

From then on, although Miss Jiang still had a pretty face, her physique that could run a horse on her arms and her impressive fighting record made all the men in the city within a ten-mile radius stay away from her.

"You haven't told anyone yet?" Yang Ning asked Sun Liguo.

"Yeah." Sun Liguo's face was now as red as a monkey's buttocks. He no longer had the aloof attitude that he usually had, and he looked exactly like a young man who had just begun to fall in love: "I'm afraid she will reject me."

"Pfft~" Seeing his ugly look, Cheng Dezhi couldn't help laughing out loud.

"So you are still so eager to take the lead. If Master Jiang knew that someone had taken a fancy to his daughter, he might tie you up and take you to get the marriage certificate tonight. Are you afraid of rejection?"

"That's impossible, isn't it? Miss Jiang is such a good person..."

"Alright, Brother Cheng, please help me find out what Master Jiang and the others are saying about Brother Sun's matter after work tomorrow. Brother Sun is already in his twenties, so we can't afford to delay any more."

Yang Ning had also met Miss Jiang. She was indeed a generous and magnanimous person, and she was also very good-looking.

But just like Cheng Dezhi said, this girl is hard for ordinary people to control. I'm afraid only someone like Brother Sun has the courage to pursue her.

"Leave it to me. If things go wrong, Brother Sun might have to get married before me. Haven't you seen how worried Master Jiang has been these past few years..."

Cheng Dezhi patted his chest and guaranteed that it was a 100% certainty that he would be able to eat pig head meat, so how could he not be happy? Besides, it would also allow him to eliminate a potential opponent, right?
"Ningzi, do you have..."

Then he looked at Yang Ning again, but before he could finish his words, Yang Ning directly refused.

"No, no, no, besides, I'm only eighteen years old, why should I rush?"

"You can also date him first." Cheng Dezhi was willing to risk everything for his own lifelong happiness. If Yang Ning, this pretty boy, didn't get married, his wife wouldn't be safe either...

"Boss, why are you back now? Have you found something?"

Because he was afraid that something might happen at home and to prevent his parents from waiting anxiously, Yang Ning rode his bicycle home as soon as he got back to the dormitory.

Seeing that he was back, Yang Liu hurried up with a jar of warm water and asked.

"It's in sight. A private house with a door and yard of over 300 square meters. I'll just have to negotiate the price."

Yang Ning put his bicycle away, took the teacup and took a few gulps, only then did he feel a little better.

After all, he had gone out early in the morning and had run back and forth several times. Apart from drinking a few sips of tea at Uncle Lian's house, he hadn't eaten anything for the whole day.

"Do I need you to tell me that? If we don't go to talk, can you afford the money?" Yang Dagen also walked out of the house at this time and said with a stern face.

"Go away, go away. Don't come home and show off when you get mad outside."

Yang Liu glared at Yang Dagen and said unhappily.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Yang Ning knew at a glance that his father was in a bad mood, so he put down the teacup and asked.

Yang Liu glanced at Yang Dagen with disdain and said sarcastically, "He is just a kind-hearted person in our family. He wanted to help others when they were in trouble, but he was rejected by them."

Yang Ning guessed what was going on: "Jia Zhang was buried?"

"With such a death, why don't you bury him quickly and expect a grand funeral? After breakfast, they took him to be buried with Lao Jia. They are worried that Lao Jia is living too peacefully in the underworld. This will only annoy Lao Jia."

Yang Liu actually seemed to be gloating when she said this, completely lacking the self-blame and guilt she felt yesterday.

Come to think of it, this matter had nothing to do with his family, and the other person's son wanted to kill his entire family yesterday. Now that Yang Liushi didn't set off firecrackers at the doorstep, she was already considered restrained.

"Okay, stop talking. Once the boss is settled, we will move in right away. Whoever wants to live here can live here."

Yang Dagen lost face in front of the masters today, and he dared to yell at the bullies at home.

"How about we go over and talk this afternoon?" Yang Liushi didn't want to live here anymore. After all, she felt a little uneasy every time she saw Jia Dongxu's dead face. "Is it okay?" Yang Dagen looked at Yang Ning. It seemed that the couple had made up their minds to move.

"Then at least have a meal. I'm almost starving after running so far."

"Okay, go and cook, and we'll go take a look after dinner."

Yang Dagen also stood up, sighed, and then urged.

No matter what, their family has lived here for nearly twenty years, and it would be a lie to say that they have no feelings for the family.

But for the eldest brother's future and the safety of the whole family, we have no choice but to move this time.

After dinner, Yang Ning rode a bicycle and took Yang Dagen to Master Qiu's house to discuss the house, while Yang Liu took Erguai to Lou's house.

Yang Ning was worried about Yang Liu being left alone at home, so he simply asked her to go to the Lou family and return the house.

"Dad, did you remember?" Yang Ning reminded Yang Dagen while pedaling his bicycle: "We are relatives of Master Qiu. We inherited his yard in the past. We didn't buy it, and we didn't spend any money."

"Are you annoying? I'm not old and confused yet. How many times have you said this?"

Yang Dagen was already unhappy because he had lost face this morning, and now he was being treated as a fool by his son, so he couldn't help but raised his hand and slapped Yang Ning hard on the back.

"Alas alas..."

Yang Dagen's sudden move caught Yang Ning off guard, and the car went out of control.

Fortunately, Yang Dagen reacted quickly and jumped out of the back seat of the auxiliary vehicle, thus stabilizing the vehicle.

"Dad, what are you doing? There are so many people on the street. What if you bump into someone?"

Yang Ning saw that the car was stable. He held the car with one hand and tried to rub the place where he was hit with the other hand. He looked at Yang Dagen with grievance and asked.

"Okay, I know how much strength I used, are you still going to walk?"

Seeing that everyone around was looking at them, father and son, Yang Dagen felt guilty, but he still pretended to be calm and glared at Yang Ning.

"Don't you know how strong you are?" It seemed that Yang Dagen lacked practical experience. He didn't know how painful it would be when he hit someone with the strength he had gained from years of swinging a sledgehammer. Yang Ning felt that his back was definitely red.

"If you don't leave, I'll go back." Yang Dagen was so annoyed by being stared at that time that he could only threaten his son with a red face.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Yang Ning felt the pain was a little relieved, and he also wanted to finish the work quickly, so he pushed off his feet and continued on the journey with Yang Dagen.

Along the way, Yang Ning did not dare to complain. He remembered that this was the first time that Yang Dagen hit him. No matter how naughty the original owner was before, Yang Dagen had never touched him. Only Yang Liu would beat the original owner with the soles of her shoes every time he got into trouble.

"Hey, this can be considered as the last lesson of making up for my childhood."

Along the way, Yang Dagen felt regretful and wanted to see what he had done to his son. However, he didn't dare to lift up Yang Ning's clothes to see. Yang Dagen was still feeling upset until Yang Ning parked the car.

"Dad, this is it." Yang Ning stopped the car and shouted to Yang Dagen behind him.

"Oh, we're here." Yang Dagen came back to his senses and looked at the courtyard wall and gate in front of him. Although there were traces of time, they were still intact.

Yang Dagen nodded in satisfaction, and then asked calmly, "Did it not get damaged just now?"

"No, I don't feel anything now." Yang Ning replied with a smile. Looking at Yang Dagen's expression, he knew that he must have been struggling all the way.

Maybe this is the damn self-esteem of men?
"Uncle Qiu, open the door. I'm Ningzi. My father and I are here to visit you."

"Ningzi, you're here so soon. This must be Brother Yang. Come in quickly."

"Brother Qiu, excuse me for interrupting you."

At first, Yang Dagen was stunned by Master Qiu's enthusiasm, but when he thought that he was visiting relatives, he understood. Then he pretended to be polite and greeted Master Qiu. Then he was pulled in by Master Qiu, and Yang Ning followed behind with the cart.

The host and the guest sat separately. Master Qiu no longer had the enthusiasm he had just had. He just asked his wife to pour a cup of tea for Yang Dagen and his son and then asked his wife to sit next to him.

"The yard is right here. Although my yard only has one entrance, the area is not smaller than some two-entry yards. I'm sure you've seen it just now. Now let's talk about the price. What figure can you give me?"

Master Qiu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Master Qiu, please tell me the number. If I can give it to you, we can continue to talk. If you can't give it to me, we can continue to look for it."

Yang Dagen was not in a hurry. Whoever made a bid first would be a fool. Everyone wanted to test the other party's bottom line first.

"When my father-in-law bought this yard, he spent a total of 300 yuan. According to the current price, it should be at least this amount, right?"

After all, she was a woman, and she was the first to lose her temper and directly stretched out her hand to make the number six.

"It's too much. Besides, the current situation is different from before. Also, your comparison is wrong. It's one to one on paper, but you're counting it as one to two."

Yang Dagen thought about it and realized that with his current salary, it would take him at least two to three years to save up this amount of money. Although he could accept it, the more he could negotiate, the better.

"Not much, Brother Yang. You also said that was the official figure. If you count it that way, the 300 yuan back then is not the same as the 300 yuan now."

Yang Ning knew that although it was easy to buy a house now, it would be very difficult to find another yard like this when the aid from Big Brother arrived and a large number of skilled workers and intellectuals came to support the capital.

Besides, by that time, even if the price doubles, no one will be willing to sell it.

"How about this, I'll give you a slap, is that okay with you?"

Yang Dagen was honest. He didn't cut the price in half, but gave a fair price directly.

"Brother Yang, please add a little more. This yard is spacious. If your family grows in the future, it won't be too crowded if you change it to a second courtyard."

"Dad, why don't we go to the street and ask. They should have a lot of empty yards."

Yang Ning knew it was his turn to take action. Although he didn't know the market situation, he had read a lot of courtyard house fan stories in his previous life and knew that there was a book that seemed to write that a few years later, someone spent one or two hundred yuan to transfer his own house from public to private, and also got a yard.

Yang Ning felt that a slap in the face at this time was already too much. You know, although the city of Beijing is now piloting the implementation of the eighth-level worker system, the salary for the same level of worker will definitely not be as high as it will be in a few years. Only after the comprehensive public ownership reform is completed will the salary standards be unified, and only then will the workers' wages be greatly increased.

That is to say, money now is more valuable than money a few years later, and now you don’t need a ticket to buy things, you just need money, so this slap seems even more expensive.

Please vote for me, collect my book, read my book again, and recommend my book.
