Chapter 232 Jia Family’s Thoughts

After confronting the three old men, Li Shengli rode his bicycle alone to buy groceries, leaving the three angry old men stomping their feet in anger at the door.

When Lee Seung-ri's restaurant opened, when he came home at night, people he knew on the road would point at Lee Seung-ri.

For example, a few gossipy women in the yard often said that it was obvious that Lee Seung-ri had not learned his lesson from the way he sold melon seeds before.

"Old Yi, look at him, he doesn't take us three seriously at all." Liu Haizhong pointed at Li Shengli outside the door with a trembling finger.

"Okay, Old Liu, no matter what kind of person Li Shengli is, he is right about one thing. There are no more big guys in the hospital now." Yi Zhonghai sighed. He didn't expect that Li Shengli actually made money after resigning.

Yan Bugui was no longer angry. He was only thinking about how to take advantage of Li Shengli. A few words from Li Shengli were nothing. Yan Bugui seemed to be willing to swallow his pride.

"You know what, Old Liu, the most promising person in this yard now is Li Shengli." Yan Bugui was a little envious of Li Shengli, this cook was really popular.

"Old Yan, you're really awesome." Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Bugui with disdain. This man changes his expression too quickly. He couldn't swallow the insult like Yan Bugui did.

"It seems that Li Shengli has become a big shot." Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh as he watched Li Shengli's receding back. Yi Zhonghai originally thought that the most promising person in this compound was only Sha Zhu. Xu Damao was not a good person. He said one thing in public and another behind people's backs. After a long time, others could see through it.

What Yi Zhonghai didn't expect was that Li Shengli was the first to succeed.

Thanks to Lee Seung-ri's excellent craftsmanship and his relatively novel marketing methods compared to this era, as well as his clean and hygienic store, Lee Seung-ri's business is becoming more and more prosperous, and people waiting in line for meals have to wait for two days later.

In the Jia family in the Central Courtyard, Jia Zhang also heard from the third aunt that Li Shengli's restaurant had made money. She kept cursing Li Shengli at home, saying why he was so rich but didn't come close to her family, and that capitalists would be beaten sooner or later, etc.

"Grandma, please stop talking." Xiaodang was a little impatient, and Huaihua looked at her grandmother speechlessly. Ever since Li Shengli took unpaid leave from the factory, her grandmother had been happy for a few days. But after hearing that the restaurant opened by Li Shengli made money, her grandmother's face began to look bad, and she even cursed from time to time. Both of them became impatient.

In the evening, after Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard, Jia Zhang discussed this matter with Qin Huairu.

"Mom, how do you know how much money Li Shengli can earn in a month?" Qin Huairu didn't think of anything else, she just wanted to know where Jia Zhang heard that Li Shengli could earn so much in a month.

"That's what old Mrs. Yan in the front yard said." Jia Zhang thought to herself, based on the calculations of Yan Bugui and his wife, how could this be wrong? It was almost certain.

"Mom, you can't take it seriously unless Li Shengli said it himself." Qin Huairu didn't quite believe it. At a time when the average salary is around 40 or 50, you said Li Shengli's family can earn several thousand a month. What a joke.

"Hey, you really don't disbelieve it. Do you know that they were just four people hired by that kid Li Shengli?" When Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu didn't believe what she said, she immediately became excited.

"I know. He is a young man who just returned from the countryside, just like Banggeng." Qin Huairu felt proud when she thought of this. Her son was an employee of a steel mill, and there was no better factory in this area than the steel mill.

"Just those four people, I heard that they can earn nearly one hundred yuan a month." Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu's expression and told her the news she had heard.

"How much?" Before Qin Huairu was even surprised, Xiaodang and Huaihua were the first to exclaim, "One hundred yuan? Is that true?"

"Then how can I lie to you?" Jia Zhang was somewhat dissatisfied with Xiaodang and Huaihua for doubting her.

"One hundred yuan, enough to buy a lot of delicious food, a lot of new clothes." Xiaodang and Huaihua looked yearning, how nice it would be if this hundred yuan was theirs. "So much." Qin Huairu was also a little surprised, but she still didn't think it was a good idea to start a business. First, she didn't know if there would be any changes in the future, and second, the self-employed industrial and commercial households didn't care about retirement. Look at the elderly people in the hospital now. After retirement, the steel mill will give them pensions every month.

"Mom, can you talk to Li Shengli in the front yard and let me work in his restaurant as well?" Xiao Dang was envious at first after hearing what Jia Zhang said, then he rolled his eyes, came up with an idea in his mind, turned to Qin Huairu and said.

"This is really difficult for your mother." Jia Zhang said with some gloating. In this courtyard, Qin Huairu could talk to anyone except Li Shengli and his wife.

Before, every time Qin Huairu greeted Li Shengli, she had a purpose, and Li Shengli pretended not to hear her every time. Later, after Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu got together, she no longer greeted Li Shengli. As for Li Shengli's wife Han Qiuyun, she never came to the middle courtyard or the back courtyard.

Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhang and said, "Why do you think this happened? It's because you talked nonsense."

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu's eyes and smiled awkwardly. She also knew that it was all her own fault.

"Wait until Sha Zhu comes back in the evening, and ask your uncle Sha to ask." Qin Huairu was also tempted. Although Bang Geng worked in a steel mill, his salary was not very high. There were so many mouths to feed at home, and Sha Zhu's salary alone could not afford the family expenses. Fortunately, Sha Zhu was a cook, and he could go out to take on some private work from time to time and bring back some lunch boxes.

"Will what Sha Zhu says work?" Jia Zhang still looked down on Sha Zhu.

"It should be of some use." Qin Huairu thought about it. Li Shengli's family didn't like to deal with people in the yard, especially Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong's family.

"It's no use. Go ask the eldest master." Jia Zhang still thought that Yi Zhonghai was very prestigious in the courtyard.

"Okay, I'll go ask the uncle." Qin Huairu nodded, and under the expectant eyes of Jia Zhang and Xiao Dang, she came to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Huai Ru, I can't help you with this matter." Yi Zhonghai shook his head, "Li Shengli won't give me this face."

Yi Zhonghai told Qin Huairu what happened in the morning.

"This Li Shengli actually dares not to give you face!" Qin Huairu was a little surprised. In her opinion, except for those few years, no one in this courtyard dared to not give face to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and stopped talking. Seeing this, Qin Huairu went home thoughtfully.

"How is it?" Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu expectantly. Xiao Dang next to her had the same expression. Only Huaihua was not in a hurry because she had not graduated yet.

Qin Huairu shook her head in the expectant eyes of the two people: "Li Shengli doesn't even give face to an old man."

"This damned kid." Jia Zhang started cursing again.

Xiaodang's eyes also dimmed. Although his family was rich, it had little to do with him. His current pocket money was not enough.

Which girl doesn’t love beauty? It seems that pretty clothes and delicious snacks will stay away from her.
