Chapter 296 Selling Wood
When someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow. Seeing this situation, those who had food followed suit. After saying a few words, they all went back to their own doors to busy themselves, leaving Yan Fugui's family and those who had no food looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Uncle, what should we do? What should we do? Are we going to starve?" someone asked cautiously.
"I don't know either. It's better to take care of each other!" Yan Fugui shook his head helplessly.
After that, Yan Fugui said to Yan Jiecheng, "Jiecheng, go to the kitchen and get the food out!"
"No, Dad, the kitchen has collapsed like that, how can we get it out? What if, what if there is another earthquake?" Yan Jiecheng said anxiously.
"What are you afraid of? There probably won't be another earthquake."
"What do you mean you can't? Do you think you are a god? Anyway, I won't go, you can go if you want." Yan Jiecheng said angrily.
"I am your father."
"Even if you are my grandfather, this won't work. This is a matter of life and death. If you say one word, I'll go and die. What are you thinking, Dad?" Yan Jiecheng muttered.
Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Yan Fugui was furious. "Okay, okay, okay, you've grown wings, right? Then you can do whatever you want. If I dig it out, you can't eat it."
"That won't do. I have a share in the food! I paid for the food." Yan Jiecheng said.
After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Yan Fugui was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He kept holding his chest and gasping for breath.
"Don't be angry, old man. You are the pillar of our family. What will we do if anything happens to you?"
As he spoke, Yang Ruihua helped Yan Fugui stroke his hair.
After a long time, Yan Fugui took a breath and said, "Evil creature, ah! How could I give birth to such an evil creature? Well, if you don't die, I will die. You build the shed and I will go to dig for food. Old woman, let's go and dig for food."
After saying that, Yan Fugui put down his beloved TV, hunched over and went to his kitchen.
Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng didn't feel guilty at all and took his wife to build the shed.
Soon, everyone in the yard spent an unbearable afternoon smelling the smell from the backyard, and then began to build the earthquake shelter with nails and bangs.
Just when everyone was working hard on building the house, the sky suddenly changed color, dark clouds covered the sky, and within a few minutes, a heavy rain came down.
Seeing the heavy rain coming, Yi Zhonghai immediately took his men to hide in the earthquake-resistant shelter, and then waited with an exaggerated look of smugness on his face.
Sure enough, those who only had steamed buns for lunch were still angry and secretly complained about Yi Zhonghai! At this time, they all flattered him with smiles on their faces.
"Uncle, you are the one who matters. The old man was right. If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer. If you hadn't led us to build this earthquake-resistant shed, we would be in trouble. It's raining so hard that we will be soaked to the bone."
"That's right. Every time we encounter difficulties, we still rely on the uncle. You see, without the uncle's leadership over the years, not to mention you, our family's life has been particularly difficult. We have no food to eat. Alas! The uncle is still the best." Qin Huairu took the opportunity to flatter him.
"Well, I think it's better for old Yi to be the boss of this yard." Jia Zhang also agreed. She had a lot of plans. Now she was praising Yi Zhonghai, but in the future she would still have to rely on Yi Zhonghai to build her family's house.
"Yes, I think we should just call the uncle the uncle in the Intermediate Court from now on! What do you think?" Xiao Dang suggested.
……
Just like that, everyone started chatting in the studio, and soon, Yi Zhonghai was spontaneously elected as the boss of the Central Court.
A rain comes quickly and goes away quickly. After the rain stops and the sky clears, everyone is busy setting up the tent because they have to sleep outside at night!
In the front yard, after a heavy rain, those who had not built a shed realized the importance of building one, and started thinking about building one one after another.
But building a shed requires materials, and the most lacking thing is wood. At this time, everyone saw the wood in front of Yan Fugui's house, and they all looked at Yan Fugui eagerly, wanting to borrow some wood.
Yan Fugui was waiting for this, but he was not in a hurry. He just pretended not to see them and directed his wife to clean up the shed.
"Ruihua, smooth this area a little. I'll go back to the house and get the blankets. We have to stay outside tonight. Who knows if there will be another earthquake?"
"Okay, be careful, go in and come out quickly." Yang Ruihua cooperated.
Seeing Yan Fugui ignoring him, Liangzi could only bite the bullet and say, "Second Uncle, you see we are out of wood, can you lend us the wood outside your house? Don't worry, we will definitely clean it up for you after we use it."
Hearing Liangzi's words, Yan Fugui smiled and said, "Liangzi! It's not that I'm stingy, someone really hurt my feelings just now. Think about it! I'm doing this for everyone and want to tide over the difficulties with everyone. Everyone contributed what they had, but you also heard that some people were unwilling to contribute, causing me to risk my life to dig for food. I'm so disappointed! You know, so... it's better to mind your own business and not worry about other people's troubles!"
"Yes, that's right. My father is right. We had no food just now but no one helped us. Now he thinks of us. Are you dreaming? Humph!" Yan Jiecheng immediately cooperated.
Seeing Yan Fugui and his son like this, everyone around them immediately understood that Yan Fugui was asking for benefits! We have lived in the same courtyard for so long, don’t we know the character of the Yan family?
So, several people immediately lowered their heads to discuss it. They felt that they had to shed some blood this time, as saving their lives was the most important thing.
So, after discussing for a while, Liangzi said, "Second Uncle, there were indeed some people who were not united just now. They have realized their mistakes, and now everyone is waiting to build the tent! Please forgive the mistakes of the little ones and tell us a set of rules, and we will follow them."
"Yeah, that's right. I can't just sit there and do nothing," Yan Fugui said with a smile. "How about this, for the sake of fairness and to remind everyone to remember this lesson, I'll charge you three yuan for each piece of wood! The more you use, the more you get out, and the less you use, the less you get out. What do you think?"
Hearing Yan Fugui's high demand, the people in the front yard became anxious. They did not expect Yan Fugui to be so cruel. They thought that Yan Fugui would only charge a few cents at most.
"Uncle, this is too expensive, isn't it? These pieces of wood are of little use in daily life. I think it's just a token of our appreciation. After all, we are neighbors." Liangzi said.
After hearing Liangzi's words, Yan Fugui glanced at Yan Jiecheng, and Yan Jiecheng immediately understood.
"Liangzi, you can't say that. Brothers should settle accounts clearly! How about you sell us some grain as a token of your appreciation?"
"How can this be possible? What will we eat if we sell it to you?"
"Look, you're unwilling to make some sacrifices when I ask you to. Do you think we are willing to do so?" Yan Jiecheng said unhappily.
