Siheyuan: I just like to stir up trouble

Chapter 313 Jia Zhang's Secret Thoughts

Jia Zhang rushed back home like an angry wild boar, lay on the bed and began to whimper.

"What's wrong? You look so angry. Who has offended you again?"

Qin Huairu was sewing clothes at home. Seeing Jia Zhang's look, she asked helplessly.

"Who else? Lin Fan and Yan Bugui. These two, one old and one young, are no good! Yan Bugui gave Lin Fan fish, and Lin Fan gave Yan Bugui apples. I was standing next to them, but they didn't even offer me anything. They simply don't treat me like a human being. Humph!"

Jia Zhang said indignantly.

"Why should they give you something for free? Don't even think about those beautiful things. Let's just live our lives honestly!"

Qin Huairu shook her head. Why would these two people give gifts to Jia Zhangshi? Jia Zhangshi was really blinded by greed and wanted to take advantage of everyone. It was good enough that Lin Fan didn't give her a slap in the face.

"They eat and drink lavishly every day, why do we have to eat so little? Qin Huairu, you go buy vegetables, and we buy meat too!"

The more Jia Zhang thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt. Of course, it was mainly because she was greedy. The big carp that Yan Bugui gave to Lin Fan made her itchy.

"Don't bother, have you forgotten? On Sunday, which is the day after tomorrow, Sha Zhu's family will host a banquet at noon, and it will be our turn to host a banquet in the evening. You will have something to eat then! By the way, give me fifty yuan. I have to go to the vegetable market early in the next two days and try to buy some cheap vegetables, otherwise our family can't afford it."

"Fifty bucks? You're just ripping me off!"

Jia Zhang jumped up from the bed. It was hard to imagine how she could be so agile despite being so fat. It seemed to be the power of money.

"Fifty yuan is already too little. Even with this, I still have to get up early and stay up late to see if there are any cheap vegetables to buy. Otherwise, it may not be enough. Don't complain!"

Qin Huairu also explained it to Jia Zhang.

"Then I'll buy it myself. I'm sure it will cost me no more than thirty dollars!"

Although Jia Zhang agreed to treat the guests out of helplessness, she was a cautious person and would give as little as possible.

Qin Huairu wanted fifty yuan, but she calculated that thirty yuan would be enough.

"I'm telling you, don't do anything rash. You've already offended the whole courtyard, so we asked you to hold a banquet to apologize. If you do anything else at the banquet, then there will be no place for you in the whole courtyard. Don't wait until the people in the courtyard kick you out before you start to regret it, because then it will be too late!"

Qin Huairu couldn't help but warn Jia Zhangshi. She had to calculate fifty yuan carefully, so how could Jia Zhangshi have enough for thirty yuan? The only possibility was that she was planning to tamper with the dishes and buy some expired and rotten vegetables to make up the number.

But if someone gets sick from eating the food, then Jia Zhang would be finished. It wouldn't be as simple as just paying compensation. Jia Zhang might even be driven out of the yard by angry neighbors.

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, the vegetables I bought are cheap and good!"

Jia Zhang is determined to save money without thinking about whether she can bear the consequences of saving money.

"I can't let you do whatever you want. Believe it or not, I'll tell Lin Fan and let him deal with you!"

“How dare you, you little slut, are you trying to flirt with Lin Fan again? I’ve already agreed to buy food and treat you, what else do they want? How I buy food is none of their business, and they don’t have to spend money, they just have to eat!”

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang became furious and began to scold Qin Huairu.

"You are just being stubborn. I see Lin Fan is here. Are you still stubborn?"

Qin Huairu sneered and prepared to go out.

"Okay, okay, here you go!"

Jia Zhang suppressed the twitching of her face and took out fifty yuan and gave it to Qin Huairu.

Because she knew that if Qin Huairu really called Lin Fan over, she would not only have to give money, but might also be beaten. In that case, why didn't she be sensible?

Qin Huairu took the money and wanted to ridicule Jia Zhangshi, but when she saw that Jia Zhangshi looked like she was about to explode, she just curled her lips and didn't provoke her anymore, otherwise she would be annoyed if Jia Zhangshi made a fuss.

As for Jia Zhang, she covered herself with the quilt, lay on the bed and pretended to be dead.

Qin Huairu ignored her and went to the kitchen to cook.

Anyway, Jia Zhang was an optimist, and no matter how big the blow was, it couldn't break her down. Soon she would be laughing and eating as much as she wanted again.

Lin Fan's family had already had their meal, and the carp that Yan Bugui sent was made into sweet and sour carp by Lin Fan.

The three of them sat around the table, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, which was completely different from the atmosphere at the Jia family.

"Lin Fan, you can even get someone as stingy as the Third Uncle to give you something. You are really amazing!"

"In this courtyard, only Yan Bugui has foresight. He knows that if he clings to me, he will get much more in the future than the small favors he gave. People in this courtyard only take advantage and don't understand how to gain without paying. Just like Jia Zhang, when I talked to Yan Bugui, she looked at me eagerly. She also wanted fish and apples, but she never thought of giving things away herself."

Lin Fan sneered disdainfully.

"I didn't expect that Third Uncle Yan Bugui is quite smart!"

Lou Xiao'e felt a little emotional when she heard this.

"Yan Bugui is the best at calculating money, but he is far inferior to Yi Zhonghai in calculating people's hearts. Yi Zhonghai is actually smarter than Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, but he has money and status, so he doesn't have to consider many things. The only thing worth considering is the issue of retirement, so he calculates people's hearts in various ways, all for the sake of retirement!"

"What about Liu Haizhong? How is this second uncle?"

Lou Xiao'e took a bite of the sweet and sour carp and asked curiously.

"Liu Haizhong, he is just a fool who wants to be an official with great ambitions but little talent. He is a fool most of the time. Of course, he sometimes schemes and schemes, and he is cruel enough to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals!"

Lin Fan thought about it and then said something.

"I can see that Liu Haizhong wants to be an official, but he has great ambitions but little talent. But isn't it a bit too much to say that he is willing to do anything to achieve his goal?"

Lou Xiao'e didn't quite believe it. She thought the fat guy with bangs was quite kind.

Lin Fan did not explain. Passed? Liu Haizhong was just that kind of person.

In the original drama, he could raid your house with Xu Damao for status, and he could report Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu for having an affair because of the conflict between them.

Later, after experiencing a series of events, everyone thought he had become a better person and even gave all his pension to Qin Huairu, who ran a nursing home. However, when Xu Damao instigated him, he immediately took out his pension and went into business with Xu Damao.

Chapter 314 Yu Li's Dream

"You are still too young. You don't understand how treacherous people are!"

In the original drama, the people Lou Xiao'e hated the most were Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong.

"Okay, I don't understand, as long as you understand!"

Lou Xiao'e didn't care. She felt that she would never deal with Liu Haizhong anyway, so there was no need to worry about who Liu Haizhong was.

"It tastes like that!"

Fang Meng suddenly spoke.

"What does it smell like?"

Lou Xiao'e asked curiously.

"The husband sings and the wife follows. Didn't you say that it doesn't matter if you don't understand? As long as Brother Lin Fan understands, that's enough!"

Fang Meng teased Lou Xiaoe.

"If you want a husband and wife to follow each other, it has to be you and Lin Fan. I am just a concubine."

"What about concubines? It makes my brother Lin Fan seem like a landlord!"

Fang Meng was also amused by Lou Xiaoe.

"Eat quickly, the food will get cold soon!"

Lin Fan reminded the two people that he cooked a lot of dishes today. Wouldn’t it be a waste if the two girls didn’t eat them quickly?

Yan Bugui's family had finished their meal at this time, and they were staring at the five apples on the table.

"There are seven people in our family, including my daughter-in-law. Why did Lin Fan only give five apples?"

The third aunt was a little envious when she saw the big red apples on the table, but she couldn't help complaining because she felt that there were not enough apples. She thought that Lin Fan should give her seven apples.

"Shut up. How much is too much? If he gave you seven, would you still want fourteen? Don't you know that contentment is the key to happiness?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui immediately scolded her.

"Don't be angry, Old Yan. I was just saying it casually."

"That's right, Dad. Just tell us how to divide it. These apples are really big. One apple is equivalent to two normal apples. It's enough for us to eat!"

"I gave a pot of Clivia and a big carp as an exchange for these apples, so I'll take one. Your mother works hard every day to take care of the family, so she'll take one too. Your sister-in-law just got married not long ago, so she's lucky this time, so give her one. As for the remaining two, our family can share them, one today and one tomorrow, just right!"

As Yan Bugui spoke, he began to share the apples.

"What? This apple is big, but if seven people share one, it's too little. Why don't we just share two today?"

Yan Jiedi said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"How much is too much? Just taste it. If you really want to eat as much as you can, one is not enough for one person!"

Yan Bugui disagreed. Isn't it true that one has to be thrifty when living? If there is no restraint, the family will be ruined sooner or later.

Several children's arms still couldn't twist Yan Bugui's thigh, and in the end seven of them shared an apple.

Lin Fan didn't know that Yan Bugui was so thrifty, but these five apples were much more expensive than his big carp, so Yan Bugui got the better deal this time.

Lou Xiao'e had already finished her meal and left Lin Fan's house. She would go there through the small world later.

After Lou Xiao'e left, Fang Meng went to wash the dishes while Lin Fan was sweeping the floor.

"Meng'er, why don't we hire someone to clean the house thoroughly? It's almost the New Year anyway."

Lin Fan suddenly said to Fang Meng in the kitchen.

"No, is it worth hiring someone for such a small thing? I can do it myself. If my mom knew about it, wouldn't she say I'm spoiled?"

Fang Meng decisively refused. She was not so lazy as to hire someone to clean the house during the New Year.

"Don't I feel sorry for you?"

"It's okay. We still have you and Xiao'e. The three of us can clean up quickly together!"

Lin Fan frowned. He wanted to be lazy, but since Fang Meng said so, he didn't say much.

After Fang Meng finished washing the dishes and Lin Fan finished sweeping the floor, the two returned to the space. At this time, Lou Xiao'e was already waiting for them in the space.

"Lin Fan, whose dream are we going to see today?"

Lou Xiao'e asked impatiently.

"You tell me, I'll give you a chance to choose. Whoever you tell me to watch, we'll watch that one!"

Lin Fan looked at the anxious Lou Xiao'e and gave her the choice.

"Then I want to see Yu Li's!"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment, then said to Lin Fan with a smile.
