Chapter 24 Reject Yi Zhonghai Again

"Okay, uncle, I'll go discuss it with Sha Zhu later." Qin Huairu said goodbye to Yi Zhonghai and returned home.

"How is it, have you discussed everything?" Jia Zhang asked as she put down the work in her hands when she saw Qin Huairu pushing the door open.

"We have discussed it. Let's let Sha Zhu help with cooking. Then there will be the three uncles in the yard, Sha Zhu and the old lady in the backyard. The first uncle will help us invite Li Shengli from the front yard." Qin Huairu said after taking a sip of water.

"Why did you invite Li Shengli from the front yard?" Jia Zhang was a little dissatisfied.

"Mom, you also know that our family doesn't have much income now, and the ration is limited. Plus, the stick is not small anymore. People say that this little boy is eating me to death. The ration we have is definitely not enough." Qin Huairu put down the water cup and did the math for Jia Zhangshi.

"Isn't this a special kitchen for Shazhu?" Jia Zhang was still a little dissatisfied.

"Mom, Sha Zhu's special meal isn't available every day. Li Shengli also often gets the task of preparing special meals for the factory. If we build a good relationship with Li Shengli, maybe we can get Li Shengli to bring special meals to our family in the future." Qin Huairu was making her own plans in her mind.

Jia Zhang nodded, and suddenly remembered something and warned Qin Huairu: "I'm telling you, you've taken a position at our Dongxu, don't even think about looking for another man."

"Oh, Mom, look at what you said." Qin Huairu's eyes turned red again after hearing what Jia Zhang said.

After warning Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang went back to her work humming and groaning.

When Li Shengli returned home in the evening, Yan Bugui saw Li Shengli and hurriedly came out to call Li Shengli.

"Shengli, Li Shengli." Li Shengli heard Yan Bugui's voice and looked towards the opposite door. Yan Bugui was standing at his door and waving at Li Shengli.

Li Shengli didn't bother to put down what he was holding. He took his lunch box and took a few steps to the home of his third uncle Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, do you have something to talk to me about? I haven't taken any private work recently, so this lunch box is empty." Li Shengli didn't think much about it and thought that this stingy Yan was planning to steal the lunch box in his hand just like before.

"An empty lunch box." Yan Bugui looked at the lunch box in Li Shengli's hand with a little disappointment.

"No, I didn't stop you because of the lunch box." Yan Bugui shook his head.

"Shengli, did you know that Qin Huairu's daughter is one month old?"

"You know, isn't it almost time?" Li Shengli looked at Yan Bugui strangely. This full moon of locust flowers had nothing to do with him. His relationship with the Jia family was more ordinary than that of ordinary neighbors.

"Your uncle came to inform me today that Qin Huairu will hold a full-moon banquet this Sunday." Yan Bugui said with some bitterness.

The Jia family is hosting a dinner party, so the three uncles must at least send a gift.

"Third Uncle, what you said has nothing to do with me. I'm not familiar with Qin Huairu." Li Shengli didn't care. As far as the relationship between his family and the Jia family was concerned, the Jia family could not be linked to him in any way.

"You're wrong." Seeing the nonchalant expression on Li Shengli's face, Yan Bugui said mysteriously, "Old Yi was just asking you. It looks like he wants to invite you to attend Huaihua's full moon banquet."

Li Shengli's face changed. This matter really has no end.

"Shengli, you better take care of yourself. I have to go." Yan Bugui looked at Li Shengli's changed face and said a little depressedly.

To attend the full moon banquet, one has to spend money and give gifts. The Jia family doesn’t know what dishes will be cooked, nor does they know if they can get their original meal.

"Thank you, Third Uncle." Li Shengli nodded and thanked Yan Bugui, then said goodbye to Yan Bugui and walked home with the lunch box.

After returning home and resting for a while, there was a knock on his door. "Who is it? Come in, the door is not locked." Li Shengli shouted while lying on the recliner. It must be Yi Zhonghai.

"Shengli, it's me." Yi Zhonghai pushed the door and walked in.

"Uncle, are you in trouble?" Li Shengli knew why Yi Zhonghai came to see him and sat up straight.

"Shengli, this is what happened. Huaihua will be one month old soon, and we'll have a full-moon banquet this Sunday. Qin Huairu asked me to treat you." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile and squinted his eyes.

"Wow, uncle, the sister-in-law of the Jia family is so generous. She wants to set up a few tables, all in the same courtyard. I'll give her a preferential price." Li Shengli pretended not to understand and joked.

"I'm not inviting you to prepare a feast. This matter has a pillar. I'm just inviting you to have a meal." Yi Zhonghai pretended not to understand Li Shengli's excuse and explained.

"Please treat me to dinner." Li Shengli said with his eyes slightly widened and pretended to be surprised.

"Can Master He handle this? There are dozens of people in the yard. We need to set up six or seven tables. Uncle, Jia Dongxu just left. We can't be extravagant. You have to persuade Jia's sister-in-law about this matter." Li Shengli said, pretending to be doing it for your own good.

What Li Shengli meant was that our families were not familiar with each other, and the Li family and the Jia family were considered strangers in the courtyard. If you wanted to invite me over, you had to invite everyone in the courtyard.

"We didn't invite that many people, just three uncles and a few people we know." Yi Zhonghai understood what Li Shengli meant, but he continued to invite him without giving up.

Li Shengli has established a good relationship with the Jia family. When the time comes, no matter whether Qin Huairu is with Sha Zhu or Li Shengli, she can provide for him in his old age, as long as Li Shengli is obedient.

"That's not possible, sir. The relationship between our two families can't reach this point." Li Shengli waved his hand and refused bluntly. He didn't want to have anything to do with the Jia family.

Li Shengli did not despise Qin Huairu for using all means to get food, but the Jia family was not satisfied. They wanted to eat good food but did not want to pay for it. Li Shengli did not want to be the one who helped them.

"It's okay, let's have a meal together, and our two families will have closer relations in the future." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

"There's no need for that, uncle. Just give him a message. Besides, I have something else to do on Sunday." Li Shengli made up an excuse.

"Can't we just push it off? We need to build good relationships with people from the same compound." Yi Zhonghai said meaningfully.

"Oh, I'm sorry, sir. To be honest, given my relationship with the Jia family, I can't just let this matter go." Li Shengli smiled with a hint of disdain.

"Uncle, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm going to take a rest. I've been busy all day and I'm very tired." Seeing that Yi Zhonghai wanted to say something, Li Shengli quickly changed the subject. Li Shengli didn't want to listen to this old man's nonsense, so he pretended to yawn to prove that he was really tired.

Seeing that Li Shengli was unmoved, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel a headache, but this matter couldn't be forced.

"Okay, then you take a rest. I don't have anything to do either." Seeing that Li Shengli was not planning to attend Huaihua's full moon banquet, Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said goodbye.

It seems that Lee Seung-ri will not be obedient. We should ask Sha Zhu to take care of him in his later years. But we have to find a way to control Lee Seung-ri.

Li Shengli curled his lips and closed the door. There are so many troubles in this yard, but I won't offend others unless they offend me. As long as it doesn't affect me, why should I care about how others live?
