Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

To everyone's surprise.

According to sentencing standards, she was sentenced to three years in prison.

However, Jia Zhangshi will be seventy years old in three months.

According to national laws, people aged 70 and above are entitled to certain reductions or exemptions.

Therefore, Jia Zhangshi's actual sentence was only three months.

This is good news for the Jia family.

It didn't matter to Liu Aiguo.

Making Jia Zhangshi suffer for three months would be enough to give her a hard time.

Besides, that's how the country's laws stipulate it, and Liu Aiguo can't do anything about it.

"A meeting has started...a meeting has started..."

Just after the tenth day of the first lunar month, one evening, Uncle Yi Zhonghai started shouting in the courtyard.

The people in the courtyard naturally all gathered around.

"Uncle Yi, what's the matter?"

It's still the same square table, and the same three old men.

Three elderly men sat around a square table, drinking tea and watching their neighbors.

Suddenly, the old man stood up and said, "Everyone, excuse me for taking a few minutes to hold a short meeting!"

"It's like this!" Yi Zhonghai organized his thoughts for a moment and said, "Sigh... As everyone knows, before the New Year, Sha Zhu opened a restaurant on Hongxing Road. Everything was ready, and it was about to open when something happened to his family!"

·· ········Requesting flowers· ·····

"And then, even after spending all the money, it still wasn't enough!"

At this point, the crowd began to stir.

That's right!

Banggeng stole things, got bitten on the hand by a scorpion, spent several thousand yuan, and still owes Liu Aiguo's family more than 30,000 yuan!

Then we'll be broke.

"Uncle Yi!" Xu Damao stood up, looking displeased, and said, "What do you mean by that? You're not organizing us to come here to donate money to He Yuzhu, are you?"

"I bet you wouldn't do something so despicable!"

That's why Xu Damao is so foul-mouthed!

That one sentence completely shut Yi Zhonghai down.

We must understand that times have changed.

Now that reform and opening up have been successful, things are not like before, when Yi Zhonghai's word was law.

... ...... ...

Everyone has their own way of making a living now, especially Xu Damao, who just received compensation from his former father-in-law and is now quite wealthy, so he doesn't take Uncle Yi seriously at all.

Not only Xu Damao, but many others also completely disregarded Yi Zhonghai.

"Exactly!" Yan Jiecheng chimed in, "Uncle Yi would never do something so despicable!"

"Uncle Yi is a moral exemplar!" Liu Guangtian said with a smile. "Donating money is just like sucking blood... I bet Uncle Yi would never let us donate money to the Jia family!"

Good guy!

Yi Zhonghai's face went from normal to black, and then from black to purplish-brown.

That's right... he's the one who organized everyone to come and donate money to He Yuzhu.

But before he could even open his mouth, he was ridiculed and utterly humiliated by the others.

And you even called me immoral?

I……

It was just a hair's breadth away; Yi Zhonghai was about to spit out blood.

Yi Zhonghai stood in front of the square table, holding a worn-out enamel mug in his hand. For a moment, he felt like a leaf in the wind, unsure of what to do.

awkward!

embarrassed!

That was incredibly awkward!

To be honest, Yi Zhonghai didn't really want to get involved in He Yuzhu's affairs.

Because he knew that his prestige in the compound was now much lower than before.

But he couldn't resist Qin Huairu's repeated pleas and entreaties.

After all, they shared a bed and a pillow, so Yi Zhonghai thought it over and over again before agreeing.

But who could have imagined it would turn out like this?

You can wait until I finish speaking; you don't have to donate then.

I haven't even said anything yet, what the hell do you guys mean by this?

Are you trying to make me look bad? (Person)

Chapter 179 Xu Damao Deceives He Yuzhu

Not only did Yi Zhonghai look grim, but He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu also looked grim.

This……

No one expected that the situation would change so quietly.

And the changes are so enormous.

"Cough cough cough..."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, then hurriedly picked up his teacup and took a couple of sips of water.

After taking a couple of sips of tea, his thoughts were finally clear.

His complexion returned to normal.

"Well, everyone..." Yi Zhonghai said, "Don't get excited. I've gathered you all here today not to ask you to donate money!"

"As you can all see, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu are really in trouble. I'm not asking you all to donate money, but to brainstorm ideas and help them find a way out!"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what '363' means!"

It must be said that Yi Zhonghai is indeed shrewd and calculating, easily deflecting the topic in an instant.

The burden is gone.

Instead of donating money, we started asking for suggestions.

In this way, the goal is achieved without offending anyone, right?

Director Lou glanced at Yi Zhonghai and nodded deeply.

Xu Damao had nothing to say.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Hmm...that's to be expected. If you ask me...Uncle Zhu, your skills are indeed excellent. You're a sure thing to open a restaurant. It's just that you've had some bad luck!"

"If you ask me, you should divorce Qin Huairu first, then go to Baoxiang Temple and become a disciple of a master to ward off bad luck... Ouch... Who hit me... Dad, why did you hit me..."

"I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore..."

Yan Jiekuang was chased and beaten by his third uncle, Yan Bugui.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Qin Huairu's face was unusually pale.

This……

Although it sounds harsh, Yan Jiekuang stated a fact.

If it weren't for the Jia family dragging him down, He Yuzhu would definitely have had a good life.

Pity!

With tears welling up in her eyes, Qin Huairu said, "Silly Zhu, I'm sorry, I'm the one who kept you waiting!"

He Yuzhu chuckled: "No, Sister Qin, I'm willing!"

"If you ask me!" Uncle Liu Haizhong rarely spoke up: "I know that you two, Zhuzi and Qin Huairu, definitely want to borrow money to open a shop... I also think borrowing money is the best option!"

"But these days, nobody's money is going to be given to you for free, right?"

"So, I think you should forget about borrowing money and just take out a bank loan. The interest rates aren't high!"

"I heard that if you borrow 10,000 yuan, the interest rate is only 6% per year. After a year, you only have to pay back 600 yuan!"

"If you've already paid someone 10,000, why would you care about 600?"

"Besides, I've looked at your shop. It doesn't need to be 10,000, 3,000 will do. It's just 200 in interest, isn't it?"
