Chapter 238: Yan Bugui plots against his son, and the silly Zhu lion opens his mouth
With these "clairvoyance" and "super hearing", I think those guys with ulterior motives will no longer dare to act so presumptuously.
A week later, Li Yang appeared in the courtyard excitedly carrying a box of installation tools.
He first surveyed the terrain carefully, then fiddled with the wires and cables for a long time, and finally managed to place several cameras.
……
On the other hand, after Yan Jiecheng's persistent pursuit for a period of time, Qin Jingru finally agreed to marry him.
Although she had been engaged to Xu Damao before, the marriage fell through after Xu Damao got into trouble.
Qin Jingru was a person who changed with the times. When she saw that Yan Jiecheng was doing well in the factory, she began to think about marrying him.
In addition, Yan Jiecheng really obeyed her and called her "Jingru sister" sweetly, so Qin Jingru gradually fell in love with him.
The two discussed it several times and decided to set the wedding date on the eighth day of next month, which happened to be an auspicious day.
Yan Jiecheng returned home happily and couldn't wait to tell Yan Bugui the good news.
"Dad, you don't know yet, do you? I'm getting married! The person you'll marry will be Qin Jingru, you'll never guess!"
Yan Jiecheng shouted excitedly, his eyes shining, and he looked very proud.
Yan Bugui was smoking a pipe in the yard. When he heard his son's words, he almost bit the pipe off.
"What? You want to marry Qin Jingru?" Yan Bugui's eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Now that Xu Damao was in trouble, Qin Jingru changed her mind and fell in love with her own son in the blink of an eye?
This is simply a pie in the sky, hitting Yan Bugui on the head!
"Is this true?" Yan Bugui asked stutteringly, his eyes wide open.
"How could it be a lie? We have already booked the date and are just waiting to prepare for the wedding!" Yan Jiecheng said proudly, his face beaming with joy.
Yan Bugui finally came to his senses, quickly threw away his pipe, rushed over to hug his son, and patted his back excitedly.
"Good boy! You are amazing! Your father loves you so much!" Yan Bugui was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Yan Jiecheng felt a little embarrassed after being praised by his father. He scratched his head and said with a wry smile:
"Dad, stop praising me. Let's get down to business! Our family has never hosted such a big wedding. How much do you think it cost?"
As Yan Jiecheng spoke, he looked eagerly at Yan Bugui. As the groom, he wished to have a grand wedding and spend a lot of money.
But he knew in his heart that he was just a worker, how could he have so much money? He had to rely on his family for support.
Unexpectedly, Yan Bugui's face darkened when he heard this.
"Spend money? Boy, are you daydreaming?" Yan Bugui glared at his son and sneered.
"Have a wedding? Sure! But there's one condition. You have to give me 80% of the gifts you receive, and you can keep the remaining 20% for yourself!"
"What?" Yan Jiecheng was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought that his father would be so dishonest that he even wanted to make a profit from his son's wedding!
"Dad, aren't you too cruel? I finally got a wife, why are you still trying to scheme against me?" Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he stomped his feet, looking aggrieved.
But Yan Bugui didn't care about that. He just waved his hands impatiently and snorted:
"Nonsense! These days, getting married costs hundreds of dollars. Where can we get so much spare money? Besides, who knows how much the Qin family will ask for in gifts. I, your father, will have to pay for it all!"
As Yan Bugui spoke, he counted on his fingers in a serious manner:
"During the engagement, we have to prepare red fabric and send it to the Qin family;
We also need to hire a matchmaker and prepare a banquet. There will definitely be a lot of friends and relatives, and I don't know how much the wine and drinks alone will cost."
"You do the math, this trip should cost at least a hundred bucks, right? Your father has worked hard for most of his life to save up this much, but you're the one who gets married right away without even caring about your father's wallet!"
Yan Bugui's words were so convincing that Yan Jiecheng was stunned.
But, I couldn't just let go of the marriage I had worked so hard to get, right?
Besides, Qin Jingru is a strong-willed person. If the wedding is shabby, she might regret it.
Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and said helplessly:
"Dad, then it's up to you. You decide the money, and I'll listen to you."
"That's good enough!" Yan Bugui nodded with satisfaction when he saw his son give in.
"Don't worry, your father is very sensible and I will make sure you have a grand wedding! Then, the Qin family won't be able to find fault with it!"
Yan Bugui patted his chest and promised, looking confident.
Yan Jiecheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He looked at his father gratefully and thought:
Fortunately, the old man was reasonable and didn't make things difficult for me.
That 80:20 split sounds like they are slaughtering the fat sheep.
Oh, never mind, as long as I can marry a wife, I'll bear some loss.
……
While he was thinking about it, Yan Bugui had already come to the middle courtyard to find He Yuzhu and said in a flattering manner:
"Silly Zhu, my son is getting married and I'm worried about not having a good chef for the wedding banquet. Can you help me?
A favor? Let me be the chef? "
He Yuzhu frowned when he heard this and sneered:
"Oh, Third Uncle, you are really good at scheming! Your son wants to marry Qin Jingru, what does it have to do with me? Besides, Jingru has always liked me, if Xu Damao hadn't interfered..."
He Yuzhu said bitterly, and was obviously unhappy about this marriage.
But on second thought, since they are already engaged, it is useless no matter how unhappy I am.
Instead of sitting here feeling jealous, you might as well take advantage of the opportunity to make some money.
At least let the Yan family spend some money, bleed, and vent their anger!
Thinking of this, He Yuzhu's eyes turned and he pondered:
"But if you have money and don't make it, you're a fool. If you really want me to be your manager, it's not impossible, but you have to pay me enough!"
"Remuneration?" Yan Bugui's face immediately fell when he heard this. "Silly Zhu, we are neighbors, aren't you asking for a higher price? How much do you want?"
"Eight pieces!" He Yuzhu stretched out eight fingers, looking as if it was natural.
"Think about it, a wedding banquet is the most important event in your family! I'm a famous chef, I can't do it for nothing, right? Eight dollars, I'll give you a discount, no less!"
"Eight dollars?" Yan Bugui was so angry that he stared and almost vomited blood.
"Silly Zhu, you are robbing people! Even if someone takes a kitchen knife to rob people, they won't ask for so much as you do!"
"Hey, don't you see whose wedding this is!" He Yuzhu smiled contemptuously and curled his lips.
"Let me tell you, if the wedding banquet goes wrong, how embarrassing it will be if the news gets out? You will be in big trouble then!"
He Yuzhu's words were righteous, as if not paying the money would be against the will of heaven.
