The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

It turns out that Yan Bugui also wanted to buy a television.

He certainly doesn't lack money.

In the original drama, his family was the first in the entire compound to buy a television.

Later, they even had money to invest in reselling foreign color TVs.

Yan Bugui must have always had a considerable fortune.

During the major earthquake, he even took refuge in an earthquake shelter while holding the television.

Yan Laokou's daily life is characterized by his willingness to risk his life for money.

Yang Dalin naturally supported the Yan family's desire to buy a television.

If he buys another one, even fewer people will come to his house to watch TV from the front yard and the back house.

Because two families in the backyard have televisions, and two families in the middle yard also have televisions.

There weren't as many people watching TV in those few families anymore.

However, Yang Dalin's family was the only ones in his front yard who owned a television.

In addition, he has the best interpersonal relationships, so he still has the most family members.

If Yan Bugui's family buys a television, it will at least alleviate some of the foot traffic in the front yard and the back house.

However, helping Yan Bugui shouldn't be done for nothing.

TV tickets cost fifty yuan.

No one else asked for money.

However, Yang Dalin told the four families to tell others that a TV ticket cost fifty yuan.

It's just something to shut outsiders up.

Otherwise, if everyone asks Yang Dalin for TV tickets for free and then resells them, wouldn't that be cheating Yang Dalin?

Besides, the current price for a TV ticket is fifty yuan.

The key issue is that there's a price but no market for it; many people find it very difficult to obtain.

Yang Dalin naturally didn't want to give it up so easily, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Teacher Yan, this TV ticket is not easy to get."

Yan Bugui had obviously done his research.

He took out fifty yuan and handed it to Yang Dalin.

Yan Bugui said, "I know, I know it's difficult, I definitely can't let you help me get it directly."

I know the market price; this is the ticket price.

Thank you for your help, Da Linzi.

Please help me.

Yang Dalin pretended to be hesitant and accepted it.

"Okay, I'll try asking another friend. You wait for my reply."

Two days later, Yang Dalin handed him the TV ticket.

They even boasted about how much effort and difficulty they put in, and how many people they had to ask for help to get it.

As a result, that damn Yan Bugui didn't know how to make any further gestures.

Having secured the tickets, Yan Bugui was reluctant to spend any more money as a favor.

I should have known Yang Dalin would delay him for a few more days.

However, Yang Dalin was just saying that on purpose; getting tickets was actually not difficult for him at all.

He said it that way on purpose.

Otherwise, believe it or not, if Yan Bugui knew there was profit to be made, he would dare to shamelessly come to him for a second ticket.

Then they resell it at a higher price.

Yang Dalin knew Yan Bugui all too well.

Having received the TV ticket, Yan Bugui quickly took the smallest TV set home.

He said that day that he welcomed his neighbors to come to his house to watch TV.

The neighbors in the front yard and the back house were also considerate, thinking that the noise was too loud and Yang Dalin's wife couldn't get enough rest.

If we can go to Yan Bugui's house to watch TV, let's go to Yan Bugui's house.

However, no one expected Yan Bugui to pull off such a bizarre move.

That means each person has to pay five cents.

The electricity bill for watching TV.

Moreover, his family said they also provide boiled water for drinking.

He wouldn't provide melon seeds or peanuts.

That's an extra charge.

Adding even a tiny bit of sugar to plain water is impossible.

If so, those are separate charges.

If we only consider the cost of five cents per person for watching for a few hours, it wouldn't amount to much money in a month.

Not much.

Because it only costs 50 cents in ten days, and only 1.5 yuan in thirty months.

Everyone can bear with it.

But he charged per person.

If your family consists of five people, regardless of whether they are adults or children, then we will charge you as a family of five.

Five people paid 25 cents a night, which adds up to 7.5 yuan a month, making a lot of money.

That night, many people were so angry that they cursed Yan Bugui.

They either went to visit other homes or returned to Yang Dalin's house.

Yang Dalin listened to the reason.

Damn it, I should have just not gotten him the TV ticket.

Other families were too embarrassed to accept money.

Just keep the ground clean and tidy.

Don't make it so you watch it every day; just leave peanut shells, sunflower seed shells, and the like scattered all over the place.

Yan Bugui has a really strong business sense.

This made Yang Dalin even consider reporting Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui noticed that he couldn't collect money from his neighbor.

The shareholders in the family are getting anxious.

The television set and the ticket money were actually a secret stash of money raised by Yan Bugui from his eldest son, Yan Jiecheng.

It was bought with the allowance of my other three sons and daughters.

Seeing that the investment might go down the drain, Yan Jiecheng quickly suggested, "Dad, why don't we take the money from the people in the next courtyard?"

The neighboring yard doesn't even have a single television set.

We each collect five cents, and there are about a hundred people in the neighboring courtyard.

That's five yuan a night, and you can earn back the ticket price in ten days.

The cost of the TV was recovered in three months.

The rest is pure profit.

Yan Jiecheng's calculations are truly excellent.

Let alone whether his family can fit a hundred or so people.

Besides, which family would be willing to spend money to watch TV?

Yan Bugui's small eyes darted around, and he came up with another plan: "No need, I have a way to quickly earn back the money from the TV and the tickets."

Who knows, it might even help us make more money each year.

Yang Dalin hadn't expected Yan Bugui to be so quick-witted.

He moved the television directly to their small stall at the alley entrance.

Good grief, they went straight over there to collect the money.

They collected more money over there than they did from their neighbors.

It's just that it's quite cold over there.

It's just not as comfortable as being at home.

But there were too many people.

There will always be young people who can withstand the cold who are willing to watch it.

However, Yan Bugui's happiness didn't last three days before he was investigated and punished by the local street committee.

That's right, it was Yang Dalin who personally went to report it.

It's okay to use a TV to attract customers.

It's wrong of you to take the money.

Yan Bugui almost had his television confiscated.

Furthermore, they refunded all the money they received.

He almost got arrested.

However, it ultimately ended with the payment of a fine.

Because this kind of thing happened on other streets as well.

It was also handled with a fine.

No one was arrested.

After all, Yan Bugui was only after some money, and it was based on mutual consent; he didn't force anyone to pay.

It's not worth arresting him for such a small matter.

After giving him a lecture, Yan Bugui was released.

The neighborhood committee and the police station both knew about the Yan family's character.

This kind of thing is standard practice for the Yan family.

It's become commonplace.

Furthermore, Yan Bugui later attracted customers by using television sets.

The stalls are still packed every day.

Although they were fined, they refunded the money they had spent on watching TV.

He also felt that it wasn't unacceptable.

Because the number of customers has increased.

There are more things to sell.

I'm earning more than before.

He could naturally tolerate the refund and the fine.

Yang Dalin naturally wouldn't let him be so comfortable.

They then quietly transferred a few TV tickets to several other stalls.

These small stalls may look insignificant individually, but they're actually very profitable.

To put it simply, he earns more than an eighth-grade worker in a month.

It's just that everyone is smart enough to choose not to say it.

Who would be foolish enough to tell others that they earn a lot of money?

When asked, they all give the same answer.

What money do I earn? I'm just barely making ends meet.

In fact, everyone made a lot of money.
