Chapter 545 The Conflict between the Yan Family Father and Son
Chapter 545 The Conflict between the Yan Family Father and Son
Over the years, He Yuzhu’s behavior has basically become the standard for his neighbors.
Everyone was watching him to see what he could do and what he could not do.
While Yan Bugui was looking for He Daqing, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao to figure out how to make money, the news of He Yuzhu opening a restaurant also spread in the courtyard.
Although they didn’t know it before, now that they were no longer shy about seeing him, the neighbors became more interested and started thinking about ways to make money.
For example, Yan Jiecheng and his wife in the front yard and Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu in the middle yard.
When He Yuzhu came back from outside, he saw Yan Jiecheng blocking the door of the west wing, arguing with Yan Bugui, so he asked curiously,
“Uncle Yan, what are you two doing?”
Seeing He Yuzhu coming back from outside, Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng unhappily.
“Why else? He wants to learn from you and open a restaurant business, so he comes to me to borrow money. Do you think I can lend money to such an unfilial son?
If you have the guts, go find your father Yi Zhonghai!”
Hearing Yan Bugui’s resentful words, He Yuzhu didn’t know what to say.
As for persuading Yan Jiecheng to do this or that, he had never even thought about it. They were all adults with their own opinions, and He Yuzhu didn’t want to be bothered by this.
“Okay, you two are busy, I’ll go to the middle courtyard to take a look.”
Just as He Yuzhu was walking towards the middle courtyard, Yan Jiecheng spoke up.
“Zhu Zi, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Please help me persuade my father. He is so rich and he won’t lend me any money to start a business. Instead, he has to work with Jianguo. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?”
“Pooh!
Yan Jiecheng, you have the nerve to say this. Ask yourself, how did you two treat me and your mother?
Now that you need my help, you come to me with such a flattering face. What are you thinking?
What’s wrong with me and Jianguo? At least Jianguo is a chef who has been passed down from generation to generation. Lao He also promised me that if I encounter any problems in the future, Zhuzi will definitely help me.
This is better than giving you the money and wasting it.”
Seeing that there was also the matter of He Daqing and He Jianguo, He Yuzhu couldn’t help but ask,
“No, Uncle Yan, why are there things about my father and Jianguo in this?”
When Yan Bugui heard He Yuzhu ask this, he thought that he, the client, disagreed, so he quickly explained,
“When you left, I was saying that I wanted to find someone to open a restaurant with me. After thinking about it, Jianguo was the most suitable person in the yard, so I went to discuss it with your father.
Your father has promised me that as long as I am willing to pay, I don’t have to worry about anything in the future and just wait for the dividends.”
Yan Bugui had just finished speaking when Yan Jiecheng couldn’t wait to interrupt.
“Dad, look at what you promised Uncle He. You paid the money but didn’t care about anything else. You’re just waiting to be ripped off. Why don’t you just give me the money? I can give you a share of the profits!”
Seeing Yan Jiecheng say this, Yan Bugui cursed loudly,
“Yan Jiecheng, what the hell are you talking about? He Daqing is such a person.
I don’t know what kind of person you are. If I give you the money, you will kick us both out in the end. I don’t even know how much I can get back then. How can I dare to give it to you?
At least He Daqing is not short of money. You can’t compare to him in that respect, as you would ruin your reputation for a little profit from the restaurant.”
Seeing that his father had said so much, Yan Jiecheng said no more.
“Okay, I’m your son, but I didn’t expect you to distrust me. I won’t beg you anymore. I don’t believe I can’t borrow money to open this restaurant. Let’s wait and see!”
“Go, go, go, go, and just wait and see!”
Seeing Yan Jiecheng turn around and go back to his home without hesitation, He Yuzhu smiled and persuaded Yan Bugui.
“Uncle Yan, why are you doing this? Why don’t you lend the money to Yan Jiecheng to ease the relationship between father and son? Then you will have hope in the future!”
“Hmph, Zhuzi, don’t try to persuade me. My son, who I raised myself, knows it himself. It’s impossible. Don’t listen to his nice words. When he gets rich, he will definitely kick us out. He won’t give me a penny more. I don’t want to end up with nothing.
Besides, the issue of old-age care is just a meal.
When the restaurant opens, we can just ask Jianguo and his wife to bring it back to us every day. It’s not a big deal.”
Seeing this, He Yuzhu said nothing more.
“Okay, since you have considered it, Uncle Yan, I won’t say much and will go back first.”
As soon as he returned to the middle courtyard, He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao covering his head and walking towards him from the backyard with an unhappy look on his face.
“Da Mao, what are you doing? Who mad at you?”
Xu Damao pouted at the Jia family next to him.
“Who else could it be? Aunt Zhang. When she came to see me just now, she happened to hear me and Uncle Liu discussing business matters. Well, she had to get involved, otherwise Huaihua’s betrothal gift would have to be doubled.
He also put me under pressure by saying that I was learning how to do business from you, and that I would definitely be rich in the future and wouldn’t care about these trifles.
Zhuzi, listen to what people are saying.
In the past, they sold their daughters, but now they have turned into robbery. Do you think I wouldn’t be troubled? “
“I know Uncle Liu wants to do business, but why did Aunt Zhang go to the backyard to find you? It’s a little early to discuss the etiquette!”
“This is not all your fault,
The sudden news of the restaurant opening made the neighbors in the courtyard feel very nervous. You know the situation at Aunt Zhang’s house, so they are targeting me.
So, he came to the backyard in a hurry and happened to hear me and Uncle Liu discussing something.
I have no choice but to agree to his request. “
Hearing this, He Yuzhu immediately knew that what Xu Damao said to Liu Haizhong must not be a good thing. Thinking of what Yan Bugui said in the morning, he couldn’t help but smile and asked,
“What do you mean? You really want to reverse the approval document. Have you figured out a way?”
Xu Damao knew that he couldn’t hide it from He Yuzhu, so he nodded directly.
“Uncle Liu is looking for it. He just took some things out and went out. I don’t know if it will work.”
Then the topic changed.
“By the way, I just heard from Uncle Liu that Yu Shui and the others are coming back. When will they be back? Do you need help?”
Seeing Xu Damao change the subject, He Yuzhu didn’t care.
“Yushui and Yuting are coming back with the children in a few days. They will go to Guangdong Province first, and then fly back with their father-in-law Ganzi and the others. We don’t need to pick them up.”
“That’s right. My grandson is getting married. Mr. Lou and his family will definitely come back to attend the wedding banquet. I don’t need to interfere.”
A few days later, Lou Zhenhua and his wife brought He Yushui and several other children into the courtyard. Little He Nianwei ran towards He Yuzhu holding a big bear.
“Grandpa, look at the big bear that my great cousin gave Weiwei!”
He Yuzhu, who was chatting with Yan Bugui, turned around to take the bear and saw Lou Jinhong following behind Lou Zhenhua.
