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

"you buy it?"

Li Jianjun stood there stunned, then heard Yu Haitang explaining.

"It's like this, Comrade Li. I have a skin disease, and it's so painful. I'll pay any price for it."

Only then did Li Jianjun realize that the person with the skin disease was not someone from the Yan family, but Yu Haitang.

The third uncle was clearly surprised that he would agree so readily, so he was embarrassed.

Yu Haitang's purchase of medicine involved her own vital interests.

The price of 60 yuan was already fair, and Li Jianjun had no intention of overcharging the old man. In fact, it was 20 or 30 yuan cheaper than selling it to someone else.

Now, upon hearing Yu Haitang mention that it was to treat her illness, Li Jianjun casually remarked.

“You’re just a young girl working as a broadcaster, you don’t earn much. How about this, I’ll give you a discount of thirty yuan.”

Anyway, Li Jianjun isn't short of 30 yuan, so let's just consider it a favor.

But the old man was stunned. Why did Li Jianjun immediately give him a 30 yuan discount as soon as he heard that Yu Haitang was buying medicine?

Could it be that Li Jianjun has taken a liking to Yu Haitang?

Yu Haitang shared the same thought, and even felt a sweet sensation in her heart.

A direct discount of 30 yuan, what does that even mean?

They directly gave her a discount equivalent to a month's salary.

Yu Haitang stared blankly at Li Jianjun, her face flushed, a wave of shame washing over her.

Just then, Yan Jiefang returned with the meat and vegetables.

"Brother Jianjun, look what I bought—a huge pig's head."

That's right! Yan Jiefang bought a big, cooked pig's head for just 5 yuan.

The whole family was practically drooling; they hadn't had any meat for almost a year.

The aroma is so enticing, it's simply irresistible.

The key point is that it's a whole pig's head, which is simply breathtaking.

The three uncles and three aunts were laughing so hard their eyes were almost closed.

They had originally invited Li Jianning over for dinner, but now Li Jianjun had given them a huge pig's head.

This would take 10 days to half a month to finish, my goodness, it's such a good deal no matter how you look at it.

"Jianjun, do a good job today. I'll have your third aunt chop up the pig's head and make some cucumber salad."

"Then we'll prepare a simple stir-fry of pork head meat."

Yan Bugui quickly instructed the third aunt to do the work, and the family became lively.

Even though Yu Li had been married into their family for almost six months, she had never eaten meat or vegetables, and her face was always sallow.

Protests are useless; it's because the old man's salary is low.

How can one person support the whole family without being frugal?

The three women happily went to cut the pig's head meat, and in no time they had cut three plates of pig's head meat.

According to Li Jianjun's estimate, there could only be half of the pig's head meat; the rest, needless to say, was hidden away by the three aunties.

Li Jianjun didn't care.

"Here it is, the braised pig's head is served."

Even though the three aunties didn't add any seasonings to the pig's head meat, the aroma was already irresistible.

After the food was served, the Yan family's two sons, one daughter, and the elderly couple all ate with great relish.

Yu Haitang certainly didn't lack such food; what she cared about was when she could get the medicine.

"Comrade Li, I'll go home now to get you the money. Can you give me the medicine later?"

Seeing that Yu Haitang was indeed very itchy and had stopped eating, Li Jianjun spoke directly to Yu Haitang.

"Okay then, we can talk about the money another day. If you really can't stand it, I'll go home now and get you the medicine."

Yu Haitang worked at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, so Li Jianjun wasn't worried about her running away.

Offering Yu Haitang a lower price is Li Jianjun's bottom line.

If you asked Li Jianjun to give this bottle of his family's heirloom medicine to Yu Haitang, he wouldn't do it.

It's impossible for someone who's not related to you to give you a bottle of hereditary Chinese medicine on the very first meeting.

Although he admitted that Yu Haitang's long hair was indeed in line with his aesthetic, he was not a fool.

Yu Haitang thought Li Jianjun was really generous; he gave her something that cost only a few dozen yuan without any concern that she couldn't afford it.

Does Li Jianjun like me?

Yu Haitang guessed in her heart, her heart pounding, and even the itching on her arm seemed to disappear.

After Li Jianjun finished speaking, seeing that Yu Haitang had no objections, he quickly ran home to get the medicine for him.

After Li Jianjun went home to retrieve the medicine, he went to the Yan family's house. In no time, the three large plates of pig's head meat were completely eaten.

Yan Jiecheng was still chewing meat, Yan Jiedi's mouth was full of oil, and even Yan Bugui was wiping his mouth with his hand, all of them eating with great satisfaction.

Yu Haitang was truly amazed; it seemed like the Yan family hadn't eaten meat in eight hundred lifetimes.

Fortunately, Haitang doesn't care about this right now.

What she was concerned about was when she could get the medicine.

Li Jianjun returned, carrying a small bottle filled with medicinal powder.

"Haitang, this is a traditional Chinese medicine passed down in my family. You should try applying it."

Yu Haitang didn't even bother to eat. She grabbed the small bottle and prepared to go to Yu Li's house with her sister. Yu Li followed behind.

"Haitang, let me help you."

When they arrived at Yu Li's house, her sister helped Yu Haitang apply the medicine again, and the medicine was indeed miraculous.

After more than ten minutes, the itching stopped, and Haitang felt as if she had been reborn, much to Haitang's amazement.

"These Chinese herbs are amazing. The things our ancestors left behind are truly wonderful."

Even the Yan family members were incredibly surprised.

Based on his intuition, he felt he should have left a lasting impression on Yu Haitang.

Considering the way Yu Haitang looks at him, winning her over is only a matter of time.

With that in mind, Li Jianjun prepared to eat something delicious.

Just then, Yan Bugui picked his teeth and casually said something.

Chapter 115 Yan Bugui's Attempt to Control Li Jianjun Rejected

"Jianjun, I heard you arranged a secretary job for Lou Xiao'e. You're really quite capable."

Li Jianjun immediately realized what Yan Bugui was implying in his words.

"No, no, it just so happened that the factory was short of this position, and Lou Xiao'e is educated, so I was just doing her a favor."

While eating vegetables, Li Jianjun mumbled that if he wasn't mistaken, Yan Bugui was definitely up to something.

Sure enough, the next moment, Uncle Yan Bugui began to calculate carefully.

“Jianjun, look, we all live in the same courtyard. Your parents aren’t here, so I’m considered your elder.”

"When you get married or have children, I can take care of them for you."

“Your third aunt has nothing to do at home. When you get married and have children, I’ll have your third aunt take care of your children.”

Yan Bugui rambled on and on, all of it for Li Jianjun's good, as if he had already planned out Li Jianjun's future.

This made Li Jianjun even more worried, as people usually say this before asking someone for a favor.

"Uncle, just say what you have to say."

"I have a straightforward personality, and I like to be direct and don't like beating around the bush."

Li Jianjun's words hit Yan Bugui right where it hurts.

Yan Bugui's face flushed red; he was shocked that a young man in his early twenties had seen through his thoughts.

"Ahem, nephew, I was saying that we all live in the same courtyard, so it's only right that we help each other out. Everyone has difficult times."

Seeing that Li Jianjun did not continue, Yan Bugui continued.

"Look at me, I teach all by myself and only earn a little over 30 yuan a month. It's hard to support my family of four. It's tough."

"You only have one person to feed and your whole family isn't hungry, but I have so many people to support, and I worry about it every day."

"Especially Yan Jiecheng, he's already married, but he still doesn't have a proper job."

"And then there's Jiefang, he's almost 20, no girlfriend, no job. If either of them could find work, it would ease my burden a bit..."

At this point, Li Jianjun understood Yan Bugui's meaning: Yan clearly wanted Li Jianjun to find jobs for his two sons.

Uncle Yan Bugui was really shrewd; he was treating himself to a meal while also making an appearance to invite Yu Haitang to dinner.

The dishes were all ready-made, and Li Jianjun even lost 5 yuan.

That's not all; they even asked me to find jobs for their two sons. Don't they have any shame?

However, since Yan Bugui did not make this clear, Li Jianjun pretended not to know.

"Uncle, you're right. Your family's situation is indeed quite bad."

"But everyone has their difficulties. They need to find jobs, right? Then they should hurry up and work hard to find them."

Li Jianjun meant that what he meant was, "You guys want to find jobs, what's it to me?"

I'm not his biological parent.

This was tactful way of rejecting Yan Bugui's request.

It should be noted that Yan Bugui teaches Chinese at the school, and his eloquence is top-notch.
