Chapter 166 Yu Li Wants to Borrow a Car
When Yu Li heard the news that Han Qiuyun bought a car, she eagerly went to Li Shengli's house and started talking to Han Qiuyun.

Yan Jiecheng is very nice to Yu Li and he listens to what Yu Li says. But it is Yan Jiecheng's father who really gives Yu Li a headache because he is too calculating.

After Deng Yili left, Han Qiuyun approached Li Shengli and said, "Shengli, what do you think is going on with Teacher Yan?"

Han Qiuyun listened to Yu Li complaining about her father-in-law, and chatted with Li Shengli with a sympathetic heart.

"You really can't blame Teacher Yan. You see, he's an educated man, with an honorable appearance. He's just an elementary school teacher. I'm not sure what level he is at now, but his salary definitely can't be much higher. However, the street office didn't come to his house to prove that his family's living standard is not below the minimum living standard." Li Shengli told Han Qiuyun about the difficulties Yan Bugui had faced.

"Teacher Yan is different from the two uncles in the backyard of the Central Court. They earn over 80 or 90 yuan a month, and Teacher Yan probably only makes half of that. What's more, Teacher Yan's family used to have six people, but now it has seven. It's only because Yan Jiecheng is getting a salary that his family is a little better off."

"But I heard from Yu Li that his family is not short of money now." Han Qiuyun asked, blinking her big eyes.

"I'm not short of money anymore, but I've gotten used to it." Li Shengli spread his hands like a little bear.

"Oh, their family has worked so hard." Han Qiuyun suddenly felt a little pity for Yan Bugui's family.

"Wife, don't think that what his family did is right." Li Shengli quickly dispelled Han Qiuyun's dangerous thoughts, "Teacher Yan is too fair. He treats everyone the same, whether it's his own children or outsiders. We can't learn from them."

"I don't want to learn from him, I just feel a little sorry for Yu Li." Han Qiuyun smiled and held Li Shengli's hand.

"What's so pitiful about this? We shouldn't interfere in other people's family affairs." Li Shengli said to Han Qiuyun calmly. If he interfered in other people's family affairs, he would be the same as Yi Zhonghai.

"I know, I am that kind of person." Han Qiuyun rolled her eyes at Li Shengli.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the factory's receptions are gradually increasing. For example, some of the benefits that need to be distributed during the Chinese New Year have to be purchased from other factories through connections. Every time this time comes, the factory leaders hold a big banquet every three days and a small banquet every two days.

It was Li Shengli's turn to cook today. It was already late last night. Now both of them have bicycles, so Li Shengli no longer has to go to the woolen mill to pick up Han Qiuyun as before.

When I got home, Han Qiuyun was already there, and there was a bag of wool balls on the table.

"Qiuyun, did you bring this back from your factory?" Li Shengli carefully counted and found that there were only twelve balls of wool in it, which could probably be used to knit two sweaters.

"Yes, these are the 'defective products' produced in the factory this year." Han Qiuyun emphasized the defective products.

"Then wait for you to give a few balls to Qiuyu. Her sweater may be too small. Use the rest to knit a sweater for the old lady, and use the rest to knit some gloves, socks and the like for our son." Li Shengli thought about it and realized that his and Han Qiuyun's sweaters were just knitted, so there was no need to change them now.

"I don't need it. My sweater is still in good condition." The old lady who was teasing the child waved her hands quickly. She didn't go out often, so there was no need for her to wear a new sweater.

Li Shengli tried to persuade the old lady a few more times, but the old lady refused to take it. Later, Li Shengli stopped persuading her and decided to use the extra wool to knit a scarf for each of them.

"Our scarves have just been knitted. It would be a waste to knit them again." Han Qiuyun put down the spatula and walked over.

"Is that so? I'll give the rest to my master." The wool was very durable at this time, and the sweater would be no problem even if it was taken apart and knitted again. "That's good, if you give it away, no one will miss it." Han Qiuyun had no objection to Li Shengli's handling method.

While we were having dinner that night, an interesting thing happened at the Yan family next door.

The whole Yan family was having dinner, and Yan Jiecheng carefully discussed the matter with Yan Bugui.

Yu Li's aunt came to Sijiucheng from Taiyuan. It was her first time in Sijiucheng. Yu Li thought of borrowing Yan Bugui's bicycle to take her aunt and her family around Sijiucheng. This would give her something to talk about when she returned.

Yan Bugui nodded and said that this was an important matter. It was not impossible to lend them the bicycle. Yan Bugui calculated and was ready to ask how much rent his son and daughter-in-law could afford. Before he could open his mouth, his second son Yan Jiefang also spoke.

When Yan Jiefang saw that his brother wanted to use a bicycle, he decided to use it himself. His reason was very legitimate. His mother asked him to go to Zuojiazhuang to exchange for sweet potatoes. Teacher Ran gave the third uncle ten kilograms of national food coupons. The third aunt calculated that it was not cost-effective to exchange the national food coupons for Beijing food coupons, so she asked Yan Jiefang to take the food coupons to Zuojiazhuang to exchange for sweet potatoes. One kilogram of national food coupons could be exchanged for four kilograms of sweet potatoes. Ten kilograms would be forty kilograms of sweet potatoes. It was more than ten miles from his home to Zuojiazhuang. If he didn't have a bicycle, he would be exhausted.

Seeing that his two brothers wanted to use the bicycles, Yan Jiekuang remembered that he had to go out the next day and also intervened. After listening to the three children's reasons, Yan Bugui immediately had an idea in his mind. By the way, he also asked Yan Jieti if Yan Jieti needed to use the bicycle for anything.

When Yan Jieti saw Yan Bugui's expression, he already knew what Yan Bugui had chosen. He knew that even if he needed a bicycle for something, it would not be his turn, so he simply stopped talking.

Yan Bugui calculated that no other child would be willing to use the bicycle, so he might as well use it himself. The three aunts were also chattering about reasons, spitting out saliva.

Yu Li sighed helplessly and glanced at Yan Jiecheng. This was indeed not beyond their expectations.

When they returned to Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's home, the back house in the front yard, Yu Li got angry.

"Why is your father like this?"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm used to it. Before I asked, I calculated that we wouldn't be able to borrow that bicycle." Yan Jiecheng said as he spread his hands out as usual.

"This is the first time my aunt comes here, I can't just let her go back like this." Yu Li thought about it, it would be so embarrassing for her family if she took her aunt shopping on foot.

"No, I'll go across the street and borrow it." Yu Li thought that she and Han Qiuyun should have a good relationship, and Han Qiuyun should be able to lend it to her.

"I don't think so." Yan Jiecheng shook his head. "My father offended Li Shengli last time, and Li Shengli said he would never lend anything to my family again."

"Your father is your father, and I am me." Yu Li said mercilessly. Yan Bugui offended Li Shengli but she did not.

"Then you go and try it." Yan Jiecheng had no choice. He couldn't conjure up a bicycle.

Yu Li thought about it, gritted her teeth and went to Li Shengli's house.
