When Yan Bugui arrived at the central courtyard, there were already several people sitting there, including Li Qinghe.
"Hey, Qinghe, I've discussed it with your third aunt. She's old and it's tiring enough for her to clean the house. How about letting my eldest daughter-in-law clean the house for you?"
"Yu Li? No way, no way." Li Qinghe was secretly happy in his heart, but pretended to be scared on the surface and waved his hands repeatedly.
Seeing that Li Qinghe was unwilling, Yan Bugui became a little anxious, "No, Qinghe, why can't it be done? It doesn't matter who cleans you up."
"Uncle, you are pushing me into a fire pit. Your daughter-in-law is a young woman and comes to my house. If those gossipers in the yard spread some gossip, I will be drowned in spit. Besides, I have to consider your daughter-in-law's reputation."
Hearing this, Yan Bugui looked unconcerned, "Hey, I don't care. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. After all, I'm the third uncle in the hospital. Who dares to gossip about me?"
"Besides, this is the harmony of our family, the daughter-in-law is filial, and she only helps out because she sees her mother-in-law working hard."
Li Qinghe was delighted, but he couldn't agree immediately. He had to refuse again so that the old man wouldn't notice. So he showed a hint of reluctance, "Uncle, actually, I just think Auntie is hardworking. Look at how clean your house is. Yu Li is young, can she compare with Auntie?"
Yan Bugui had no idea what Li Qinghe was thinking. Seeing that he was about to convince the boy, he quickly said, "I'm not bragging to you, my eldest daughter-in-law is quite capable. You haven't seen my eldest son's room, which is cleaner than the main room. If you are worried, let Yu Li try first. If it's not clean enough, let your third aunt come again. How do you think?"
Yan Bugui was right in saying this. Yu Li was indeed a hard-working person. Since she married into their family, she had been busy helping with the cleanup, saving the third aunt a lot of effort.
Li Qinghe pretended to be hesitant and said, "Okay, since you said so, I have to agree. It doesn't matter who comes, as long as they clean up the house."
Then he added, "Then I have to say one more thing. You must tell Yu Li so that I won't be blamed."
"Are you still not confident in the work of the Third Master? Leave it to me. After the meeting, I'll ask Yu Li to come over and clean up for you."
"Okay, I still trust you to do things, I'll wait."
Once the matter was settled, Yan Bugui immediately smiled.
At this time, Xu Damao ran out with a stool and came to Li Qinghe. "Brother Qinghe, I'm sorry this time. I said I would treat you to a meal, but this happened."
"Hey, Brother Damao, who could have predicted this? Anyway, we live in the same courtyard, so we can eat whenever we want." Li Qinghe waved his hand indifferently.
Xu Damao smiled and looked at Yan Bugui again, "Uncle San, you see, I still need you today. After today's incident, I will prepare two hard dishes for you and us three to have a drink together, how about it?"
Yan Bugui's eyes rolled and he knew what Xu Damao meant. He just wanted him to help speak up and play a trick on He Yuzhu. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you. I mean, Shazhu is really something. How could a good cook steal a chicken?"
Xu Damao immediately smiled, "Who said it wasn't true? The cook was just cooking honestly. He stole the chicken. It's really corrupting. He shows off every day. What's so great about it? Okay, you take a rest. I'll go call the uncle."
Li Qinghe glanced at Xu Damao's back, and then looked at Yan Bugui beside him. These two are really a perfect match. One is good at scheming, and the other likes to take advantage of small things. It's really a match made in heaven.
Today's incident just happened not to touch Yan Bugui's bottom line. At most, it would just make He Yuzhu suffer a little loss, but it wouldn't cause any major harm. If he could have a good meal by saying a few words, why not do it?
Besides, He Yuzhu has Yi Zhonghai's support, so no big problems will occur. At most, he will suffer a small loss. Yan Bugui sees things clearly.
.......
While washing dishes, the third aunt found Yu Li and told her to help Li Qinghe clean up the house.
"Daughter-in-law, I want to discuss something with you."
Yu Li raised her head and asked in confusion, "Mom, tell me what's going on."
"You know Li Qinghe, who's across from us, right?"
"I know. Just tell me."
The third aunt coughed and said, "It's like this, he is the only one left in their family now..."
"You said that he, a grown man, couldn't clean the house, so you wanted me to clean it up. I was thinking, what do you think about letting you do it?"
"How can this be done? If people find out, gossip will spread. Besides, they are the ones who came to find you." Yu Li was a little unhappy. She also guessed that Li Qinghe must have given some benefits, otherwise her mother-in-law would not be so enthusiastic. But from the looks of it, it seems that she doesn't want to work but still wants benefits. She doesn't want to work for nothing.
Seeing that she couldn't fool Yu Li, the third aunt had to use her trump card, "How about this, I'll give you half of Li Qinghe's old clothes as payment?"
Yu Li wanted to get more. Since she married into the Yan family, she had learned to calculate. So she said, "I did the work. Why should I only get half?"
The third aunt was also a little unhappy and scolded, "They came here for the name of Third Uncle Yan, and they specifically asked me to go. I asked you to go because I wanted to take care of the eldest brother. I will give you half of the benefits. If you don't want to, I will go by myself. When you get the clothes back, don't ask for them from you and the eldest brother."
"Oh, no, mom. It's okay for me to go, but what if the people in the hospital say nonsense?" Seeing that the benefit was about to be lost, Yu Li quickly agreed. Finally, she asked with some concern, because she knew the character of the people in the hospital too well.
"What's there to be afraid of? Just say it openly. I won't go to the meeting later. You can say that I was not feeling well and was lying at home, and you are going on my behalf. This is all about fulfilling your filial piety. Who can say anything unpleasant? Besides, Old Yan is the third uncle. Who dares to say anything nonsense?" The third aunt imitated Yan Bugui's usual demeanor, with an air of being able to dictate the world.
Yu Li thought about it and agreed.
The third aunt said a few more words and then went back to the house with a smug smile on her face. In the Yan family, apart from Yan Bugui, she had never been better than anyone else in the world when it came to scheming.
Who can refuse something that doesn't require any effort and can benefit you? Old Yan said it well: you won't be poor if you have enough food and clothes, but you will be poor if you don't plan well.
Yu Li also quickly cleaned up the dishes, wiped her hands, and called Yan Jiecheng to watch the fun. The whole hospital meeting was also one of the few entertainment times in the hospital.
