Chapter 2194
People Who Always Push Every Road to the Brink
His wife wept silently, and Yan Jiefang was at a loss for what to do.
The son, who was in elementary school, seemed to have a stronger opinion. He stood up, walked up to his parents, and said, "Dad, I think you should learn from my uncle and aunt."
Even if we rent a place outside, what if we do?
"If my mother continues to stay here, she'll suffocate sooner or later."
"Alright, alright..."
I'm not feeling aggrieved?
What did your mother and I do for?
I just wanted you to suffer less.
Renting a place is easier said than done.
"Our family is now just drifters in Beijing..." Yan Jiefang said impatiently.
He wasn't lying. He and his wife's household registration is still in northern Hebei. They are just drifters making a living in Beijing.
Even if you rent a place, you can only go to the suburbs where the regulations are less strict.
The rest were just shacks where vagrants gathered.
His son, on the other hand, is currently enrolled in a temporary school.
At least the Nanluoguxiang neighborhood committee acknowledges that he exists.
"Father, why don't you find something for Mother to do?"
I heard that my uncle's restaurant is hiring waiters.
Let my mother go to his place, so she won't have to suffer my grandmother's temper at home every day.
"We don't need a salary, just ask my uncle to help us find a place to stay." The boy had probably been thinking about this for days, and finally mustered up the courage to say it today.
The couple were both stunned.
Yan Jiefang looked at his son in disbelief. He never expected that his usually quiet son would have such a brain.
The key point is that this idea seems pretty good.
If Yan Jiecheng were to rent a place, aside from the price, there shouldn't be any other problems.
At least when the neighborhood committee registered it in the past, it could be said that it was rented to restaurant workers.
For small restaurants like Yan Jiecheng's, which are contracted out on the street, the number of employees required is still a vague area.
Basically, it involves discussing with the affiliated company based on actual needs.
The later rule that 'private business owners are not allowed to employ more than eight people' sparked controversy in society after a period of development following the reform and opening up.
Then a temporary regulation was issued.
It wasn't implemented for more than a few years.
"Son, how did you come up with this?" Yan Jiefang asked hesitantly.
"During my winter break, I asked my sister to tutor me, and I overheard my uncle talking about hiring waiters."
My uncle said that labor costs are high in the city, so he wants to find workers in the countryside.
"..." the boy explained confidently.
Unlike Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiecheng,
The relationship between the two brothers is a bit delicate now.
Actually, the two brothers didn't have any major conflict, but Yan Jiefang had something to hide.
He was thinking about the old couple's house, and also about Yan Bugui's 13,000 yuan savings.
He didn't intend to keep it all for himself, but he felt his family was struggling and wanted to get more, which is a perfectly normal thought.
With this thought in mind, one would naturally assume that his older brother and third brother would also have the same idea.
It's like how bad people always think the worst of others.
Besides, the Yan family members weren't exactly generous people to begin with.
It's perfectly normal to be eyeing property.
On the contrary, the children got along very well with each other.
Yan Jiefang's son, in particular, showed great respect for his aunt, Lan Hua.
Although Yan Jiecheng and his wife have their own concerns, they have not yet agreed to register the child's household registration in their names.
But the couple treated the child quite well.
I have never said anything harsh to this child.
Of course, it's even less likely that Yan Jiecheng will transfer the child to his name now.
Seeing that he was about to become rich, he didn't want another 'son' who would take a share of his money later.
In my past life, it was the restaurant that Yan Jiecheng and his wife ran.
It's fair to say that they haven't made any money since Sha Zhu left. But they haven't actually lost much either.
In this life, Yan Jiecheng no longer had the option of having a fool like Sha Zhu, and he didn't expand his business much.
It's like a fast food restaurant in later generations.
The front hall and back kitchen are about twenty square meters. Chef Wang can cook a few dishes in there.
With low investment and low operating costs, it's almost certain that you can make money to some extent.
If Yan Jiefang were to go to his sister-in-law's house and ask her to arrange a waitress job for Zhao Di...
It shouldn't be a problem.
Two adults are not as good as one child.
"I'll find an opportunity to talk to your uncle about it." Yan Jiefang was a little embarrassed, but still gave a vague reply.
"It's better to talk to my aunt than to my uncle."
"My uncle..." The boy's suggestion was adopted, and he became a little smug, then started giving his father pointers.
"Slap... I don't need you to teach me." Yan Jiefang, enraged, slapped him across the face.
Zhao Di quickly shielded her son in her arms, glaring angrily at Yan Jiefang.
The family stared at each other, then burst into laughter.
The atmosphere inside the room was no longer sad; instead, it was filled with hope.
This will be a new beginning for Yan Jiefang and his family of three.
But for Yan Bugui and his wife, it must have been a despairing situation.
The next day, Zhao Di took out her underwear and washed it.
Yang Ruihua saw it and started making a scene again.
As people get older, their minds can sometimes become confused.
Logically speaking, the things that Yang Ruihua threw away have now reappeared in her home.
Then it's likely that what she did was seen by someone.
At this point, even if you don't want to explain...
At least pretend you don't know anything, and the matter will pass.
On New Year's Eve, Yan Jiefang and his wife didn't want to cause any trouble with her.
As a result, Yang Ruihua retorted that her daughter-in-law was making trouble for no reason yesterday and trying to frame her.
Yan Jiefang, who was tidying up at home, didn't mention his son, but instead, in his own name, recounted what Yang Ruihua had done the day before.
Instead of knowing when to stop, Yang Ruihua pounced into the yard.
She wailed and cried, telling her neighbors that her second son and his wife had wronged her and bullied her.
Later, a group of neighbors came over and tried to persuade him.
Yan Jiefang then stepped forward, humbled himself, and apologized profusely, finally persuading this "old ancestor" to go home.
However, after this incident, Yan Jiefang, who had been hesitant, finally made up his mind.
He had given up on the house.
He no longer counted on his 13,000 yuan in savings.
Even if Yan Bugui were to leave, someone like Yang Ruihua would still be there.
I reckon the old lady will cause a lot of trouble at home.
It would be better to do as my son suggested and have the whole family go out and enjoy a few comfortable days.
When the opportunity arises, I will transfer the entire family's household registration to Beijing.
With society becoming more and more open, the possibility of transferring one's household registration to Beijing is not far off.
Yan Jiefang has several classmates who also went to the countryside and got married there.
They've already arranged for him to come back.
Of course, the connections those families had were far superior to those of the Yan family.
Just like Xu Damao's daughter-in-law, she is now a proper Beijing resident.
He worked in a toy factory as a permanent employee, a very comfortable job. (End of Chapter)
