Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 287 Crazy with Jealousy

"Doing business in a foreign country? Which country?" Yan Fugui asked hurriedly.

"Hey, I don't know about this. I think it's called something like Xiang or something."

"Hong Kong?" Yan Fugui blurted out.

"Yes, that's the name," Sha Zhu said with a smile, "Second Uncle, that's not bad! After all, you are a cultured person, you even know the names of foreign countries."

"Hey, Silly Zhu, that's not a foreign country, that's our country. It's just loaned out temporarily. I heard it's very developed there. It seems Xu Damao has really made a fortune!" Yan Fugui said enviously.

"That's right, otherwise who would give me such an expensive watch? As for this watch, I dare say that I am the only one wearing it in the city of Beijing, except my master of course." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"Shazhu, I, your uncle, have never seen such an expensive watch in my life. How about you take it off and let me take a look at it?" Yan Fugui asked.

"Well, we can't chat today. Bye bye. This thing costs one hundred thousand dollars. If I give it to you and a part is missing, you will lose a lot of money, right?" Sha Zhu said while protecting his watch.

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

After Sha Zhu left, the people in the front yard surrounded him immediately.

"Uncle, uncle, are you bragging? I don't believe that a watch can be worth so much money. Is it really made of gold?" someone asked.

"It's really gold, I can see that, and there are diamonds on it. It should be worth 100,000 yuan." Yan Fugui explained.

"No way! Second uncle? What else is a diamond?"

"Diamonds! Diamonds are a kind of gemstone, just like our emeralds and jade."

"Is that so? Has Xu Damao really made a fortune? He spends a hundred thousand dollar watch at a time. He is really rich!" someone exclaimed.

"Xiao Sun, didn't you hear what Sha Zhu said? Where is the 300,000 yuan that Xu Damao gave to his master?" Yan Jiecheng said.

"Ah! Three, three hundred thousand? How much money does that cost? How come a millionaire emerged from the escape? If I had known this, I would have fled too." Xiao Sun said regretfully.

"Xiao Sun, if you want to flee, you need to find people to help you. Besides, you can escape now! Look at the wealth you have made. Xu Damao has that brain, but you don't." Yan Fugui said.

"Hey, Uncle Er, you are really a dog that can't spit out ivory."

"Alas, a summer insect cannot talk about ice. I can't communicate with illiterate people like you," Yan Fugui said, "Jie Cheng, go home."

As soon as he entered the door, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly asked, "Dad, is what Shazhu said just now true? That piece of junk is worth 100,000? Why don't I believe it?"

"Really? If you don't believe me, go to the watch shops in Wangfujing tomorrow. I can't say for sure there are watches worth ten thousand yuan there," said Yan Fugui.

"Dad, it seems that Xu Damao has really become rich! You have to think of a way, think about how to get close to Xu Damao, and how to do business. The streets are full of small businesses now, we can't just sit there and watch and suffer poverty." Yan Jiecheng suggested.

"Yes, Dad, I want to quit my job and sell socks! Many female workers in our factory have made a fortune by selling socks!" Wang Jing also said.

"Nonsense, that's a stable job, you'd better not lose it. How hard is it to find a job nowadays? Can't you do it after get off work?" Yan Fugui said.

"Wife, what my father said makes sense! Let's do it after get off work, so we won't be delayed." Yan Jiecheng said.

"That's fine, but it's hard to find the source of goods. The female workers are very secretive! They're afraid that we will know the source of goods and steal their business."

"This is difficult to deal with?" Yan Jiecheng said bitterly, but he quickly reacted, "Dad, we still have to find Xu Damao for this matter. He came from the south and must know the source of goods and some of the conditions over there. You have to hurry up and establish a relationship with him. We are counting on you."

"No, I haven't thought about it yet. Xiao Li has always disliked people in the courtyard. I'm afraid Damao will ignore me. Let me think about it first."

"Oh, my dear father, whether our family can get this incredible wealth depends on you, you must do it as soon as possible." Yan Jiecheng said anxiously.

"Okay, go back and think about it carefully. I know my own business."

……

At the same time, Qin Huairu also heard the discussions in the courtyard, and Yan Fugui's words just now also fell into his ears.

At this moment, she was muttering at home, "Is Xu Damao really rich? He gave Sha Zhu a watch worth 100,000 yuan? How is it possible? That's 100,000 yuan. I can never earn that much in my lifetime, but the second uncle won't cooperate with Sha Zhu to lie, right?"

"What are you mumbling about? What one hundred thousand dollars?" Jia Zhang came over and asked.

Before Qin Huairu could answer, Bang Geng interrupted with jealous eyes, "Grandma, the rumor has spread like wildfire in the yard, saying that Xu Damao gave Sha Zhu a watch worth 100,000 yuan, and it's made of gold!"

"What? A gold watch for one hundred thousand dollars. Isn't he afraid that his tongue will be blown away by the wind? That fool would spend one hundred thousand dollars to buy a broken watch." Jia Zhang said in disbelief.

"Grandma, it's true. Second uncle said it was true. Everyone in the courtyard knows it! Besides, that idiot Shazhu is very concerned about his reputation. How could he lie?" Xiaodang said.

"Oh my god, am I dreaming? Banggeng, slap grandma." Jia Zhang said in shock.

"Grandma, it's real. I saw it. It was bright yellow and sparkling under the light! Xu Damao is also a fool. He gave 100,000 yuan to a big fool who is a bad cook." Bang Geng said jealously.

"That's right, two fools, they don't deserve such a good watch. It would be great if it was given to my family. We can sell it and never have to worry about anything in our lives." Jia Zhang said enviously.

"Mom, why don't you think of a way to establish a relationship with Xu Damao? If he just lets a little bit of money slip through his fingers, it will be enough for our whole family to live a good life." Xiaodang suggested.

"Yes, Huairu, you think of a solution." Jia Zhang said excitedly.

"What are you thinking? Do you think you can rely on my weird face? Didn't you see those two people next to Xu Damao?" Qin Huairu said unhappily.

"Secretary!" Huaihua said.

"Yes, secretary, you can tell at first glance that she is Xu Damao's mistress. She dresses in a very weird way." Qin Huairu said jealously.

"Mom, she is a secretary, not a mistress. I heard from my classmates that foreigners all have female secretaries." Huaihua explained.

"It's still different. What else can a woman do besides that?"

"Oh, Mom, I can't explain it to you clearly. Anyway, a secretary is the boss's assistant." Huaihua said speechlessly.

"Forget about being a secretary or something. Think about what to do! Life in our family is really unbearable. One person earns, and five people eat. When will this life end?" Jia Zhang said, "Why don't you give it a try? You look no worse than those two secretaries."
