Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"Haha, if only we had a money tree, we could just plant one."

"Or we could come to a magical farm and ranch, where we could grow grains and vegetables directly. If things get really bad, we could just donate billions of tons of grain to the country. That would be a real triumph."

Li Jianjun couldn't help but let his mind wander.

His outlandish idea was confirmed by the system.

"Host didn't look carefully, did he? There's a wireless portable farm in the Level 3 shop."

Hearing this, Li Jianjun became even more motivated. It seemed he needed to do more to earn strategy points and extract what he wanted.

Li Jianjun took a walk around the courtyard house, which he considered his exercise.

Even the best kidney tonic can't withstand this kind of abuse.

While wandering around the courtyard, after passing through the hanging flower gate, I saw Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong whispering to each other, I don't know what they were talking about.

Li Jianjun instinctively felt that something was about to happen, but it was just a premonition.

Just as he was about to go back inside to get some breakfast, two girls suddenly appeared in the yard. Li Jianjun glanced at them and suddenly remembered.

Aren't these the sisters Shang Jingjing and Shang Yingying?

The two women didn't know where Li Jianjun lived and were asking Yan Bugui for directions when they suddenly saw Li Jianjun taking a walk. The two sisters ran over happily.

"Brother Jianjun, it's just in time to run into you."

The two sisters wore matching well-tailored floral cotton-padded jackets and black pants today. They looked rather tacky, but on the two sisters, they brought out their unique style.

"Jingjing and Yingying, what brings you here?"

Li Jianjun was very surprised.

The older sister, Shang Jingjing, was holding an old radio and shouted at Li Jianjun from afar.

"Brother Jianjun, I heard you can fix radios. Our radio is broken, could you fix it for us?"

With the sisters using this guise, no one would doubt anything.

Yan Bugui, on the other hand, looked on with envy and couldn't help but tease Li Jianjun.

"Jianjun, you're going to make a fortune again."

Shang Yingying blinked her big eyes, not understanding what Yan Bugui was talking about. She mistakenly thought that Li Jianjun was asking for money to repair the radio.

“Brother Jianjun, we’ll give you the same amount of money you charge for repairing radios.”

Yan Bugui laughed heartily.

"He made a little money on repairs, how much could that be? Girl, if Li Jianjun fixed your radio, he would make at least forty or fifty yuan."

Seeing Yan Bugui's envious look, Shang Yingying was quite surprised.

"Really? You can make 50 yuan off a broken radio like this?"

"Why would I lie to you? Jianjun repaired two old radios a couple of days ago and sold them for 120 yuan."

At this point, Yan Bugui, while feeling envious, also wanted to make a deal with Li Jianjun.

"Jianjun, if I provide you with used radios, and you sell them, could you give me a 10 yuan commission?"

Yan Bugui's eyes gleamed with shrewdness. He had a well-thought-out plan. Even if he could get five or six old radios a month, he could earn fifty or sixty yuan.

That's equivalent to two months' salary for him.

Li Jianjun has plenty of people to provide him with old radios; besides, this thing can't be made too big.

The crime of speculation and profiteering has not been abolished; better safe than sorry.

"Uncle, we don't need this for now. Anyway, I don't consider this a proper business."

"I occasionally repair one or two radios, mainly to make it easier for everyone to buy radios."

There was a clear hint of disappointment in Yan Bugui's eyes.

"OK then."

Li Jianjun isn't stupid; the more money he makes, the more envious people he'll attract.

You can't see into someone's heart; who knows what they're thinking?

The people in the courtyard were all uneasy. If someone were to report this to higher authorities, even if he was the head of the security department at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, it would be difficult for him to escape punishment.

After Yan Bugui had gone far away, Li Jianjun invited Shang Jingjing and Shang Yingying into his home.

The two twin girls looked exactly alike, with long eyelashes that fluttered, long legs encased in black cotton pants that were simply captivating, and faces as delicate as porcelain dolls.

The moment they appeared in the courtyard, they became a beautiful sight.

Qin Jingru was brushing her teeth in front of Qin Huairu's house when she suddenly saw two pretty girls, and her heart swelled with envy.

Qin Huairu saw this, which made her feel even more threatened.

"These two girls are really beautiful. At first glance, they look quite good together with Li Jianjun."

The three of them soon arrived at Li Jianjun's house.

"Jingjing, give me the radio."

After Li Jianjun disassembled the radio, he repaired it. It wasn't a major problem; the internal metal plate had oxidized and rusted over time, causing malfunctions between the contacts.

Li Jianjun removed the rust using the same method, and the radio immediately began to play the beautiful voice of a broadcaster.

"Dear listeners, the following is a recording for us..."

Jingjing and Yingying watched the radio repeatedly, finding it incredibly fascinating.

"Brother Jianjun, you're really skilled. You can fix it with just a few taps."

"Although the radio casing is a little broken, it still works..."

"Brother Jianjun, no wonder Uncle San praised you so much just now. You really have real talent and skills."

Chapter 259: A Surprise or a Shock from Auntie?

Li Jianjun's radio repair skills are indeed top-notch, and the Shang sisters truly admire him.

"Brother Jianjun, is it really possible to sell this radio?"

How much can this radio sell for?

This radio was actually bought by Shang Jingjing from a scrap metal recycling station for only three yuan.

Because the outer shell was so badly damaged that it was unrecognizable.

Li Jianjun realized that the two sisters were trying to strike up a conversation with him by offering to repair the radio, but he didn't say anything.

"This radio's casing is too old and has many cracks. If we could replace it with a newer casing, it would sell for fifty or sixty yuan without any problem."

The two sisters were overjoyed; if they could really sell it for fifty or sixty yuan, they would make a fortune.

The two sisters never had proper jobs.

"Brother Jianjun, where can I buy this kind of casing?"

Seeing that the two sisters were not outsiders, Li Jianjun directly pointed out a path for them.

"If you want to buy a relatively new case, you'll have to go to a department store. You don't often have the chance to find brand-new cases like this at scrap yards..."

"A new shell would only cost four or five cents at most..."

The two sisters were overjoyed and immediately went to the department store to buy the casing.

Soon, 30 minutes later, the two sisters returned with the shells.

"Brother Jianjun, what do you think of this casing? Isn't it alright?"

The casing in Shang Yingying's hand was clearly brand new; if it were installed directly, it would be no different from a new radio.

"That's great, I'll install it for you."

Li Jianjun took out a small screwdriver, unscrewed the screws little by little, removed the old casing, and then installed the new casing.

Suddenly, a brand new radio appeared in front of the two sisters.

In order to receive more channels, the two sisters even bought an antenna on their own initiative.

The two sisters were overjoyed to see the radio that Li Jianjun had repaired.

"Brother Jianjun, wait for us to find a good buyer. After we sell it, we'll treat you to a nice meal at a restaurant."

Li Jianjun didn't take it seriously at all; if he could help the two sisters even a little, that would be good enough.

"It's nothing, you two are too kind."

……

After seeing the two sisters off, Li Jianjun stretched, looked at the clear blue sky, and planned to go out and buy a coal stove later.

He now has a coal stove in the kitchen, but it can only be used for cooking. Moreover, the house where Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru live does not have a coal stove.

It's already December, and it's going to snow soon. We have to buy them a coal stove.

Just as he was about to leave with the money and tickets, he ran into his aunt, Sun Hongmei.

"Jianjun, are you going out?"

Sun Hongmei stepped in happily. Since her sister's death, she rarely came to Li Jianjun's house, afraid of being reminded of her by seeing familiar objects.

"Yes, Auntie. What's up? Did you need something?"

Sun Hongmei took the money, pulled out 10 yuan, and stuffed it directly into Li Jianjun's hand.

"My dear nephew, thank goodness you fixed my radio. I was able to resell it for 50 yuan. I'm truly grateful to you and came all this way to thank you."

Repairing radios was just something Li Jianjun did on the side. Besides, it was his own family, so why would he want the money?

"Auntie, you raised me, so what's wrong with me fixing your radio and making a little money?"

"Just treat me like your son."

Sun Hongmei's eldest son is only 16 years old, five years younger than Li Aiguo.

Regardless of whether her eldest son was around, Sun Hongmei kept Li Jianjun by her side and treated him like her own son.

Li Jianjun got up to look for tea leaves for Sun Hongmei, but couldn't find any after searching.
