Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 165 The engagement falls through, and Yan Jiecheng is kicked out of the house by Mother Yu.

Just as Qin Jingru arrived at the steel mill to test the dishes, Yan Jiefang arrived at Yu Li's house with two bottles of cabbage and a pound of meat.

As for the ten yuan dowry, Yan Fugui borrowed the money from his colleagues.

After discovering yesterday that his money had been stolen, Yan Jiecheng went to check his savings from the past few years, only to find that over eighty yuan had also been stolen. This was money he had painstakingly saved over two years, which almost drove him to despair.

I didn't sleep at all last night, and I spent the whole morning working in the foundry workshop today. My legs are trembling.

However, thinking that he could get his marriage certificate with Yu Li today, Yan Jiecheng forced himself to be on high alert. He didn't have time to think about anything else right now; getting his marriage certificate with Yu Li was the most important thing.

Who are you looking for?

As soon as Yan Jiecheng entered the courtyard, he was stopped by an older woman.

"Hello, ma'am, I'm here to see Yu Li," Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.

Upon hearing that the person had come to see Yu Li, the woman suddenly realized who it was.

"Oh, I remember now, you're Yu Li's blind date, right? Come on in."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Yan Jiecheng walked into the courtyard, arrived at Yu Li's house, and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

The door opened, and it was Yu's mother who opened it.

Yan Jiecheng quickly handed over the wine and meat in his hand, and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Auntie, is Comrade Yu Li home?"

When Yu's mother saw Yan Jiecheng's dark circles under his eyes, his pale face, and his chapped lips, she frowned and did not accept the wine and meat offered by Yan Jiecheng.

"Yan Jiecheng, you can leave now. Don't come looking for my Lili again."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng felt as if the sky had fallen, and hurriedly said:

"Auntie, what's wrong? Everything was fine just a few days ago. Look, I've already prepared the dowry, and I've even gotten a job at the steel rolling mill. I'm a full-time employee there now."

Mother Yu scoffed, "Yan Jiecheng, look at you! You probably didn't sleep a wink last night, did you? Did you go kill chickens again?"

"Auntie, I don't understand what you're saying. Could you please call Yu Li out? I have something I want to say to her," Yan Jiecheng said, frowning.

Mother Yu asked in an accusatory tone, "Pretending, Yan Jiecheng, are you still pretending? Everyone knows you killed the chicken, what are you still pretending for?"

"Yan Jiecheng, I'm asking you, did you strangle the chickens in your yard in the middle of the night? Don't tell me you don't know."

*Thump.*

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng was instantly shocked.

How did Yu Li's mother find out about this? He did it in the middle of the night, and no one could have possibly known. How could it have reached Yu Li's mother? Could it be Wang Feng?

Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng's eyes turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he wished he could tear Wang Feng to pieces.

"Auntie, this isn't true. Someone is framing me. Auntie, please believe me. Let Yu Li come out, and I'll explain everything to her," Yan Jiecheng hurriedly defended himself.

"Hehe, Yan Jiecheng, stop pretending. Yu Li and I went to your hospital to inquire yesterday. They saw it with their own eyes. How could it be false? What grudge do they have against you? Would they really wrong you?"

"Okay, even if what you're saying is true, and you didn't do this, let me ask you this: your family's pickled vegetables are divided into individual portions, and I heard that when a manure cart passes by your house, they have to let your family taste the saltiness before letting them go. Every meal consists of two cornbread buns and four shredded pickled vegetables, no more, only less. Surely that's not a lie, is it?"

Upon hearing that it was Yu's mother who had inquired about it in their courtyard yesterday, Yan Jiecheng immediately thought of Jia Zhangshi.

Yan Jiecheng tried to argue, but he had no way to defend himself.

Just then, Yu Li came out of the house. She looked at Yan Jiecheng and frowned, saying:

"Comrade Yan Jiecheng, you can leave now. Please don't come looking for me again."

"Yu Li".

Just as Yan Jiecheng was about to explain to Yu Li up close, Yu's mother stopped him.

"Yan Jiecheng, what do you want to do? Let me tell you, don't think I'm afraid of you just because my husband isn't home. If you dare to act like a hooligan, I'll call the police."

"Auntie, this isn't true. Believe me, as long as Yu Li marries me, I will work hard to give her a good life. Yu Li, you have to believe me," Yan Jiecheng said hurriedly.

Yu Li sighed, "Comrade Yan Jiecheng, you should leave. There's no future between us. If you keep arguing, it will only make things awkward for everyone."

"this……"

"Get out of here! Get the hell out of here! If you ever dare to bother my Yu Li again, I'll call the police and report you for indecent assault."

Without saying a word, Yu's mother pushed Yan Jiecheng away and slammed the door shut.

Yan Jiecheng stared at the cold door of Yu Li's house, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging all over his body.

"Jia Zhangshi, I'm not done with you yet."

With a roar, Yan Jiecheng grabbed two bottles of liquor and a pound of pork and ran madly toward No. 95 courtyard.

......

the other side.

After Wang Feng, along with Li Huaide and other leaders, finalized the treatment for Qin Jingru, he approached Liu Lan.

"Wang Feng, I've noticed that this beautiful chef Qin Jingru is getting quite close to you. Could she be your wife?" Liu Lan asked with a smile.

Wang Feng gave a thumbs up: "Sister Lan is indeed insightful. I hope you will take good care of Jingru when she works in the third canteen."

Liu Lan stared at Wang Feng with wide eyes, her mouth agape as big as an egg.

"Wang Feng, you're amazing! Your wife is not only as beautiful as an angel, but she's also an excellent cook. From now on, Jingru will be in charge of the third canteen. If anyone should be favored, it should be Jingru who is favoring me."

"Hehe, Sister Lan, you two should look after each other from now on. I'll leave Jingru in your care. Get to know Jingru better; she's a very easy person to get along with," Wang Feng said with a smile.

Liu Lan rolled her eyes: "Alright, don't worry, with me here, I won't let your beautiful wife suffer any injustice."

"By the way, Wang Feng, now that Yan Jiecheng's scandal is widely known, shouldn't you pay the remaining balance?" Liu Lan rubbed her fingers together and said with a smile.

Seeing Liu Lan's greedy appearance, Wang Feng laughed and took out a large black ten and placed it in Liu Lan's hand.

"Sister Lan, the first step of the plan is basically complete. Have you contacted Liu Yuhua yet?"

Liu Lan stuffed the big black ten into her pocket, feeling extremely happy, and immediately grinned.

She earned thirty yuan from Wang Feng in one go, which was almost equivalent to two months' salary for her. With this thirty yuan, her family's life would be much better.

"Wang Feng, your sister Lan isn't the type to take money and not do anything. I've been testing Liu Yuhua's feelings these past few days. I've met Yan Jiecheng. Although he's not as handsome as you, he's decent-looking. Once the matter of Yan Jiecheng killing the chicken has faded from memory, I'll arrange for Liu Yuhua to meet with him."

"Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Sister Lan."
