As soon as Li Jianjun entered, he gave a wink to the crowd watching the commotion. The next second, two men rushed over, grabbed He Daqing, and were about to drag him out.
Chapter 370 Help Us
“No, no!”
Xiaoxue was terrified when she saw her father being lifted up. Tears instantly streamed down her face. She rushed over and hugged Li Jianjun's leg, pleading with him.
After all, this is his only support now. If the old man dies, how can he stand on his own in this unfamiliar courtyard? He can't just run back to Baoding!
"Brother, I beg you, please help us! Ever since my mother died, my heartless brother took over our house, and my father and I only just came back. Now we're truly homeless. Please, have mercy on him, considering his advanced age!"
Xiaoxue looked at Li Jianjun with tears streaming down her face, telling the truth to make her seem even more pitiful.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the courtyard immediately turned up in disbelief. It turned out that this guy had come back because he had nowhere to stay after being kicked out!
"Hey old man, you're not very loyal! Something like this happened, and you didn't even tell your old buddies when you got back!"
The third uncle walked up to He Daqing and said with a sarcastic smile.
Looking at the smug look on Uncle San's face, she knew he was laughing at her! If it weren't for this girl's tendency to tell everyone, she wouldn't have let them know any of this!
"You've come to the right person. I didn't expect that girl to be so pitiful. Why don't you just go and work at the fresh food market?"
Lou Xiao'e looked at the person in front of her and spoke.
In truth, I really disliked Xiaoxue. She had only met her once, yet she was already clinging to his coattails. Wasn't she being a bit too hasty? She clearly wasn't a good person.
"Alright, since you've decided this way, arrange it for him if he's willing. But since He Daqing no longer has a house, he shouldn't cause trouble in the courtyard house..."
Hearing Li Jianjun's words, He Daqing's emotions calmed down considerably. After all, his daughter had a job, so he had nothing to make a fuss about.
He stuffed his luggage into Sha Zhu's rented room and decided to take over the place.
However, Qin Huairu, who was in the crowd on the other side, couldn't help but have her own little thoughts.
All we know is that Li Jianjun is now a big and successful businessman, and his fresh food market is always packed with employees. If we can find a job for our child through him, maybe the marriage proposal from the Tang family can be finalized!
So he happily followed them. There were too many people in the courtyard now, and he couldn't say it in front of so many people.
“Sister Jianjun, I know you’re a big boss now, and things are different from before. My husband is still struggling. Do you want to help? Are there any positions that are vacant? How about letting our Banggeng try out?”
Qin Huairu asked with a smile.
"Yes! We happen to be short of someone to cut pork. If you can go, you can give it a try."
Li Jianjun answered without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu felt a pang of sadness; she knew Bang Geng probably wouldn't take the position.
"Brother, considering our past relationship, do you know if you have any good job recommendations for me? You know my kid's personality!"
Qin Huairu looked at Li Jianjun in front of her and made her request again.
"Sister Qin, don't joke with me. You know what kind of person your son is!"
Li Jianjun gave Qin Huairu a cold look and then turned away.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu didn't dare to say anything more and could only slink back to discuss it with her son.
I didn't expect that this joke would make me so unhappy!
"What's going on? A pork seller? There must be a mistake."
Bang Geng practically had the word "disgust" written all over his head.
“You’re a man, you’re not getting any younger, and you just stay at home all day. What kind of ability do you have? Besides, we can’t get married right now because of the house. Maybe if you had a job, they would agree!”
Qin Huairu looked at the stick and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Bang Geng's fighting spirit instantly ignited, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
"I don't think so. If you really don't want to marry into our family, you should return all the things I bought right away. Don't run away with our things!"
Jia Zhangshi muttered something stingy to herself.
In order to get a wife, Banggeng reluctantly went to the fresh food market to sell pork. The smell of the pork made him feel nauseous and he kept vomiting.
"Look at that new guy, he's got the life of a young master, I don't know why he's here doing this dirty and tiring work! What's the point?"
The older brother next to him looked at the pretentious Korean guy in front of him and said with great dissatisfaction.
"Give me a pound of pork!"
At this moment, a familiar voice rang out. Bang Geng looked up and was surprised to see Tang Yanling. He immediately smiled, cut a piece of the best meat for her, weighed it, and handed it over.
"Yanling, why didn't you tell me you were coming to buy meat? I'm right here now, and I'll bring you whatever you need after I start work!"
Banggeng went up and said enthusiastically.
However, Tang Yanling's friend next to her, seeing the pork seller so close, unconsciously covered her nose with her hand.
"Yanling, do you know him? Is he your friend?"
The person next to her couldn't help but ask, making Tang Yanling very embarrassed.
Looking at the chattering half-person in front of him, he wished he could just shut his mouth!
This is utterly shameful! It's one thing to be broke, but now I'm working at a pork butcher shop!
"I don't know him! I don't know him!"
In front of her friends, Tang Yanling quickly denied it, retreating far away as if she wanted to disappear from their sight immediately.
Upon hearing this, Bang Geng immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at his old flame in front of him. He never expected that even though they had reached the point of discussing marriage, this person would look down on him so much!
Watching his girlfriend's departing figure, Bang Geng felt a little depressed. This was not what he had imagined. He was already at work, so why was he still looking so miserable?
However, when I got home after a long day, I heard a noisy noise coming from inside the house.
"No matter what, you should call off this engagement as soon as possible!"
"Returning it is possible, but you have to take back everything our family gave you, not a single thing less!"
As soon as I entered, I saw that it was someone from the Tang family who had come looking for me, wanting to break off the engagement!
"Why is that? I've already gone out to work, and my family owns a house, so why won't they agree?"
Banggeng looked at the person in front of him and asked.
"Since you've already asked, I'll tell you the truth: the way you were today made my daughter lose face in front of her friends!"
"So if it's not a good fit, leave quickly. Our family doesn't want to hold you back!"
Upon hearing this, Tang's father spoke up.
Chapter 371 The annulment of the engagement only adds to the amusement.
"Break off the engagement? Fine, if you want to break it off, return everything our family gave us, give us back all the money our family spent, and break off the engagement immediately!"
Qin Huairu was not to be outdone. She immediately raised her chin and reiterated her demands, shouting with great resentment.
Mr. and Mrs. Tang were furious. Their innocent, virgin daughter had been tricked into an engagement by the Jia family, who thought she had married into a wealthy family, only to find out she had fallen into a cesspool.
They're asking for a refund now? They're not going to do that.
"You want to return the items? My daughter's good reputation has been ruined by your family."
"A young, unmarried woman could have married into a good family, but instead she encountered a family of swindlers like you."
"Qin Huairu, consider those things as compensation from you!"
As Tang's mother spoke, she became furious and jumped up and down on the spot.
Tang Yanling lowered her head, staring at her feet, looking very aggrieved.
These days, news of my engagement has been circulating, but it later fell through. Naturally, some busybodies have inquired about it and spread rumors with exaggerated details.
Some people say the Jia family is no good, that they're so poor yet they dare to come for a blind date.
Of course, some people also gossiped about the Tang family.
Some neighbors, in particular, would gossip behind the Tang family's backs when they came in and out, saying that they were using their daughter to deceive people and wouldn't return the gifts if they didn't get married.
Tang Yanling felt like she was living in misery every day, and couldn't help but think of Li Jianjun, the mature man who could drive a car and owned most of the businesses in Kyoto.
If I could marry him, would I still have to worry about these troubles?
"If I can't marry him, I'll be happy to be his woman."
Tang Yanling felt a mix of emotions, including a sense of longing.
"Yanling, I really like you. Please don't call off the engagement. Let's get married. I have a job now, and I will work hard in the future."
A porky smell wafted over, and Banggeng sidled up to Tang Yanling, speaking pitifully.
"Marriage? Sure, but I want my own place to live, you have to hand over your entire salary, I don't have to work, and you have to find a part-time job in addition to your regular job to support me and take care of my parents. Can you do that?"
Tang Yanling looked disgusted and stepped back, covering her nose with her hand.
"Okay, I can do it."
"Don't worry, Yanling, I'll take care of it right away."
"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry, I can take good care of Yanling."
Bang Geng quickly reassured the Tang family and turned to look at Qin Huairu.
"Mom, hurry up and take Grandma with you to find Sha Zhu. Oh, and remember to leave the money behind."
"I want to marry Yanling, no matter what!"
Bang Geng shouted and subconsciously waved his hand.
"Bang Geng, now that He Daqing and He Xiaoxue are living at Sha Zhu's place, how can there be room for everyone?"
Qin Huairu's face darkened, also showing her grievance and dissatisfaction.
"I don't care, I'm going to marry Yanling. You can stay at Shazhu's place, you can sleep on the overpass or the roadside, as long as I marry Yanling."
Banggeng went all out and started yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Dad, Mom, look at this, I can't marry someone like this. Anyway, you should call off this engagement."
Tang Yanling was even more unwilling to accept the idea of marrying someone who was both poor and tasteless.
