Chapter 304: The Jia Family Reaches a Consensus
Hearing that Qin Huairu didn't speak, Jia Zhang asked, "Huairu, you're already there, why are you going to speak?"
"Mom, doesn't this have to start from small things? I first asked him if he could help us fix the kitchen, but he refused. Finally, I persuaded him to give me some advice on how to fix the kitchen, and he reluctantly agreed. You see, if he doesn't even want to work, how could he possibly give money?" Qin Huairu analyzed.
"Ah! You want me to do it?" Bang Geng shouted, "I won't do it. I don't know how to do it. You can find someone who can do it."
"Great! You can learn if you don't know how! Look, every family in the yard has to do it themselves. Who would be willing to hire a bricklayer? Even if others don't say anything, just wait and see, Yan Fugui's family will definitely do the repairs themselves." Qin Huairu said.
"Then I don't want to do it either. Don't bring up those stingy people in the Yan family. I'm different from them. It's not shameful enough."
"Great," Qin Huairu said with red eyes, "How old are you? Twenty-three. If you're afraid of being embarrassed, you can just hire someone! Do you have money? Why don't you find a job that's not embarrassing and earn money!"
"Humph, it's because you don't have the ability. If you had the ability to send me to the army, I might be a retired cadre now."
Hearing Banggeng's words, Qin Huairu was so angry that tears dripped down her cheeks. Yes, she had no ability, but how could she, who came from the countryside, have any ability? She had no culture, and her only source of pride was destroyed. How could she have any ability?
"Brother, how can you talk like that? Was it not easy for mom to raise us? Now you don't even do such a small job, are you still a man?" Xiao Dang said angrily.
"Don't interrupt. What's it got to do with you? I'm not the man, but you are. If you have the ability, go do it." Bang Geng said indifferently.
"Bang Geng, I don't ask you for anything. I just ask you to go over and watch me when I'm working tomorrow. You can just stand there. I can do the rest." Qin Huairu cried, "This is related to my family's future life, and whether you can get married and find a job."
When he heard about work and wife, Bang Geng's expression changed immediately and he asked excitedly, "Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier? Tell me how to find a job? How to get a wife?"
So Qin Huairu told him the plan on how to get back together with Yi Zhonghai's family.
"Okay, okay, okay," Jia Zhang said with a smile, "Huai Ru! This is a good idea. It would be great if Xiao Dang could marry a young man from the Yi family. Then we would become relatives, and his family would have to help us in the future."
"Yes, Mom, although Yi Zhonghai hasn't worked for so many years, he usually does some flexible work. They are so frugal, they must have a lot of savings. And Yi Zhien must be a cadre after his transfer. It's just a matter of a word to arrange a job for me." Bang Geng said happily. He now felt like he had reached the end of his rope, but now there was a way out. Who said that his family would have a hard time because his mother was disfigured? Don't they still have a younger sister? He now regretted why he didn't realize that Xiaodang had grown up earlier, and Huaihua was about to give birth.
"Brother, what are you talking about? I haven't agreed yet, why are you so excited?" Xiao Dang said angrily. In fact, she was also very happy in her heart. If Yi Zhien really became a cadre when he came back, she would definitely marry him. After all, Yi Zhien was quite handsome.
"Don't you want to marry Yi Zhien?" Qin Huairu asked.
"Mom, how can you ask people like that? You haven't met the person yet, right? Let's talk about it after you meet him." Xiao Dang said with a blushing face.
Seeing Xiaodang's expression, Qin Huairu felt relieved. She knew that Xiaodang would definitely not refuse, especially if Yi Zhonghai was a cadre after being transferred back to civilian work.
And judging from Yi Zhonghai's appearance, she felt that there was a high probability that Yi Zhien would transfer to civilian work and become a cadre.
"Okay, that's settled. Our family should interact more with the Yi family during this period, especially Banggeng. You must work tomorrow. You can't let Yi Zhonghai think that you are useless and affect your sister's marriage." Qin Huairu said.
"Okay, no problem. As long as you can arrange a job for me to marry a wife, I will definitely have no problem with that."
……
The next day, early in the morning, Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong got up early and went out together.
Seeing the two of them go out, Qin Huairu immediately followed them, "Uncle One, Uncle Two, wait a minute."
"Qin Huairu? Is there something wrong?" Yan Fugui asked vigilantly. He didn't want others to know their plan.
"Haha, Second Uncle, are you going to buy materials for repairing the house?" Qin Huairu asked.
Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Yan Fugui became alert, but he couldn't lie. After all, he had to bring in materials later, so he said ambiguously, "I want to take a look. If the price is right, I'll buy some. If not, we'll talk about it later. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Hi, Uncle Er, my kitchen also collapsed, so I want to go and take a look with you." Qin Huairu said.
"You can go there yourself. It's not like you can't buy it." Yan Fugui refused.
"Uncle, you know how to negotiate prices! So..."
"Is that so? Then just wait. I'll tell you where I bought it and the price after I finish buying it. That's it. I'll go take a look around first."
After saying that, Yan Fugui turned around and left. He didn't want to waste time on things that were of no benefit, and he wouldn't be able to take advantage of the Jia family.
Soon, at noon, Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong brought several carts to the yard to unload materials.
It just so happened that Xu Damao saw these materials when he came to find Li Kangri, but he didn't say anything. After all, it was none of his business. It was just that this pile of materials didn't look like they were for repairing a house, but more like for building a house.
Seeing Li Kangri, Xu Damao said, "Master, can we go clean up those courtyards now? Ezi and the others are eager to come back!"
"Well, sure. Just find someone to take care of it. I'll go over and set up the situation for you when the time comes."
"Feng Shui Bureau?" Xu Damao said with shining eyes.
"Yeah, why do you want to do it too?"
"Of course, that's what I do. Master, please set up a plan for me so that I can show off when those people from Hong Kong come over." Xu Damao said with a smile.
"No problem, these are all small matters. You go find the workers and we will go and see them in the afternoon." Li Kangri agreed.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After saying that, Xu Damao turned around and left, but when he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Master, I forgot to tell you something. When I came in just now, I saw Yan Fugui in the front yard and Liu Haizhong in the back yard bought a lot of bricks and beams! It doesn't look like they are repairing a house, but more like building a house. What do you think they are going to do?"
After hearing Xu Damao's words, Li Kangri understood instantly.
"Haha, they are indeed building a house. These two old guys are wishful thinking. They must want to take the opportunity of renovating the house to build a few more houses in the yard." Li Kangri said with a smile.
"You mean to build it in a public place?" Xu Damao asked in surprise.
"Of course, otherwise do you think they are going to build a small Western-style building?"
"Oh! Really? What should we do? We have such a nice yard, but now it's so crowded that people have to walk through it after they built it. These old guys are really taking advantage of us." Xu Damao said.
