Yu Li and Yan Jie are currently living separately. Yan Jiecheng goes to sleep in the west wing of Yanbu Gui's house, while Yu Li lives in the reverse room.
After it was revealed that Yan Jiecheng had spoken ill of Yu Li behind her back, he knew that he was being unreasonable, but he could not coax Yu Li no matter what, and threatened to divorce her at every turn.
Fortunately, the surface stability can still be maintained.
Yu Li, who was washing clothes, saw Qin Huairu going to deliver food to Ye Haoran, so she stopped and the two briefly chatted.
Qin Huairu didn't know that Yu Li had been taken over by someone Ye and was treated like an ordinary neighbor, but Yu Li had suspicions about Qin Huairu, especially after she saw the child Qin Huairu gave birth to, she became even more convinced. Inner speculation.
Qin Huairu was a lesson learned from the past. She, Yu Li, could never follow in Qin Huairu's footsteps. She was not ready to have a child.
"By the way, Sister Qin is going to work soon, right?"
"Well, it's almost time. I'll go to work in the factory when the child reaches his birthday. As for you, I heard that you also plan to find a job. Do you have any plans?"
Yu Li now keeps a distance from Yan Jiecheng, but after all, it is Yan Jiecheng who makes money. Yu Li is thinking about finding a job to make money, which can make herself feel better.
But after all, she had no connections. Her only hope was Ye Haoran, but she was too embarrassed to say it herself.
If it doesn't work, she can only go to Ye Haoran alone, but it is still a bit dangerous for Li to meet alone. Ye Haoran will not let her go every time she is alone.
She thought she knew where Ye Haoran's limits were, but there would be new discoveries every time, which would lead to her suffering from old sins.
"Not yet, I just thought, there is nothing to do at home every day, why not go out and do some work to make some money."
Qin Huairu nodded in approval. If you don't make money, you really don't know how many benefits money has. She didn't understand it before. She only thought that life was just daily necessities, but later she discovered that this was not the case.
Although she still cannot control the family's financial power, Qin Huairu found that she became more confident in speaking after she gained income.
"Yes, if you're bored at home, it's better to go out and do something. It can kill time and increase your income."
Yu Li nodded in agreement. She didn't feel very comfortable chatting with Qin Huairu. The two shady women pretending to be nonchalant made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"I'm going back first. Sister Qin, you should also be busy."
Qin Huairu smiled and nodded in response, then turned and walked towards Ye Haoran's home.
Ye Haoran was reading a book. When he saw Qin Huairu walking in, he put down the book and stood up, walked to the dining table and sat down.
The relationship between the two is deeply involved because of their children. Although they have maintained restraint on the surface in the past, they are no different from husband and wife in private.
He took the initiative to hand the fast food to Ye Haoran and asked while watching Ye Haoran eating: "Haoran, do you think Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian will hate you? Xu Damao doesn't care about his uncle now, whether in the factory or in the courtyard." My love, Liu Guangtian was beaten by his father for more than half a month and couldn't get out of bed, will he do anything more extreme in the future?"
Ye Haoran picked up a piece of meat with the kuaizi in his hand and put it into his mouth. He said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. If they find it uncomfortable to live outside, I will send them back to the North Prison. It is not difficult for me."
Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian were released after being imprisoned for a month. They were supposed to participate in workers' study for another month, but something happened and only Xu Damao went to study.
As for Liu Guangtian, on the day he was released, he was beaten with a filial stick by Liu Haizhong so that he did not dare to get out of bed. If Yi Zhonghai had not found out and blocked him, Liu Guangtian might have struggled to see the sun the next day.
After this incident, Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, completely became the laughing stock in the courtyard. How could he not be angry?
Qin Huairu also knew that Ye Haoran was not the one who suffered the loss, so she just reminded him and had no intention of taking care of it.
Qin Huairu did not go back immediately after delivering the food as before. Instead, she ate with Ye Haoran and finished washing the dishes before getting ready to go home.
Although it took some time to recover after giving birth, Qin Huairu did everything a hostess should do, and she had already treated Ye Haoran as someone she could rely on.
"Take this money and buy some nice clothes for my girl. Let me know that you have wronged my girl and see how I deal with you."
After listening to Ye Haoran's words, Qin Huairu rolled her eyes coquettishly: "It doesn't seem like she is talking about my girl."
The action of accepting the money was not modest at all, this is what Ye Haoran should do.
Qin Huairu returned home with the money given by Ye Haoran and the washed dishes. Ye Haoran smoked a cigarette and continued reading until very late.
Not long after turning off the lights and lying down, Ye Haoran heard a rustling sound while lying on the bed. Although it was not obvious, he still heard it in his ears.
Frowning, he slowly sat up from the bed and reached under the pillow to hold the big black star.
Then the door of the house was opened, and a dark figure walked in.
Just as Ye Haoran was about to turn on the light, the dark figure walked in without hesitation, and then got directly into Ye Haoran's arms.
Ye Haoran pinched the outline and knew who it was.
It was Yu Li.
"How did you come?"
After asking softly, Yu Li did not answer Ye Haoran's words, but chose to go directly to the topic.
...
"Please arrange a job for me. I don't want to spend Yan Jiecheng's money."
Yu Li whispered her thoughts during the break, and Ye Haoran immediately understood what she meant.
Ye Haoran also heard about the separation between Yu Li and Yan Jie. If Yu Li and Yan Jie were living a normal life as husband and wife, Ye Haoran would only regard this relationship as a casual marriage.
But Ye Haoran was really surprised by Yu Li's choice. Not only did she and Yan Jie sleep separately, but she even wanted to live independently. Naturally, she wanted to support this.
Looking at Yu Li who was as soft as clay, Ye Haoran sat on the edge of the bed with a cigarette in his mouth and thought for a while, then said: "You wait for a few days and I will see if there is any suitable job for you. It will be easier if it is close to home." , otherwise you wouldn’t have come in vain.”
With Ye Haoran's promise, Yu Li naturally left here satisfied.
Like a thief, she left Ye Haoran's house under the cover of darkness, and then secretly returned to her own house. She repeated what Qin Huairu had done before.
The next day.
Ye Haoran sat in the office and looked at the newspaper delivered from outside, his brows furrowed and unable to relax.
A critical article appeared in the newspaper, and the purpose of the criticism was very clear. Especially when he saw the title, Ye Haoran felt a nervous and depressive atmosphere coming over him.
This is a sign that some people are taking action. When huge changes occur in the superstructure, they often start from the bottom.
Putting down the newspaper, Ye Haoran rubbed his eyebrows and wondered what he was thinking. After a long time, Ye Haoran picked up the landline on his desk and dialed a number.
"Hello? Uncle Lou, just prepare what you need to prepare. Make a list of the remaining items and send them over. I will arrange for someone to take over when the time comes."
Lou Zhenhua, who was on the other side of the phone, was sitting on the sofa with an unusually serious expression.
After sighing dullly, he asked: "It's so fast, the Chinese New Year is about to come..."
Ye Haoran thought for a while and replied: "Then after the New Year, you must keep a low profile during this period. It will be very difficult to handle if you attract the attention of some people."
"Okay, thank you Xiaoye."
The two briefly chatted for a few words before hanging up the call.
In fact, Ye Haoran's help in the Lou family's affairs was not in vain. First, he helped out of old friendship. Lou Zhenhua provided the address where he fled to Sun's house with money, and Lou Xiao'e also showed her sincerity to him. No matter from which aspect, he helped. , Ye Haoran had no reason to watch.
The second point is that Lou Zhenhua will definitely not let his help go in vain, and the assets of the Lou family are a huge amount of wealth. If the Lou family can't come back in the future, then wouldn't these things belong to him, even if he comes back? , it’s not up to Ye Haoran to decide how much to give.
It can be regarded as leaving a way out for himself. If one day he doesn't want to continue messing around, at least he still has the capital to mess around.
When it was time to get off work, Ye Haoran hastily packed up his mood and prepared to go home.
Just as he was about to leave the steel rolling mill on his bicycle, Ma Sanxiao from the mailroom at the door blocked Ye Haoran's way.
"Chief Ye, wait a minute! I have your letter."
"mine?"
Ye Haoran was confused about who wrote the letter to him. He stopped to take the letter from Ma Sanxiao and did not open it immediately. He just glanced at the address of the letter.
Ji Chun!
Putting the letter into his coat pocket, he thanked Ma Sanxiao and set off again on his bicycle.
Although it had snowed in Sijiucheng at this time, it had not yet entered the truly cold season. The moderate temperature gave people a very cool feeling.
After returning home and parking his bicycle, he went inside and sat on a chair and took out the letter from Jichun. Looking at the delicate notes, Ye Haoran smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The person who wrote the letter was Zhou Rong. He thought that after the one night romance with Zhou Rong, there would be no more contact because Zhou Rong left without leaving a word. Unexpectedly, a letter was sent to him at this time.
'Long time no see, I still miss you, hope for the best...'
'I wanted to forget you forever, but I couldn't control what I was thinking day and night...'
'I wanted to try to accept other people, but I found that there was no place in my heart...'
'Everything is fine at home, except that my brother is disobedient...'
'...'
The opening paragraph revealed the emotion of longing, which made Ye Haoran couldn't help but laugh. He also talked about some situations at home. The general idea was:
"Miss you!"
Zhou Rong is very independent and has her own ideas, but this kind of personality is not very suitable for the current situation. In the words of the older generation, she does not understand the overall situation.
Nowadays, people talk about sacrifice and perseverance, but what Zhou Rong pursues is not these. In the eyes of some people, he is a representative of rebellion.
Since someone wrote a letter, of course Ye Haoran also had to reply. How to reply was a question.
The distance between the two of them, which is thousands of kilometers apart, cannot be ignored. Ye Haoran can't go, and Zhou Rong can't come, even if she talks about the pain of lovesickness, there is no way to solve it.
But comfort is still very necessary. After all, people don't want anything from you. They treat you sincerely. Ye Haoran can't just lift his pants and not recognize him.
As soon as the reply was written and put into the envelope, before he could put the stamp on it, the sound of two people chatting could be heard outside the door. Hearing these two voices, Ye Haoran quickly put away the letter.
"Sister, have you eaten yet?"
"No, why are you here again? If you're not married, don't come here. Why didn't you hear the gossip that others said?"
"Hey, you just want to talk. Ye Haoran is my partner. I'm here to see if he's okay."
"Let's see what happens if we stay here all the time."
Yu Li and Yu Haitang were standing in the main courtyard chatting. Although they slightly suppressed their speaking volume, they were relatively close to Ye Haoran's door, so Ye Haoran still captured the conversation between the two.
He put the reply to Zhou Rong into the coat hanging on the hanger, then stood up, opened the door and walked out.
Yu Li and Yu Haitang had not stopped chatting. When they saw Ye Haoran coming out, they both chose to shut up in a tacit agreement.
Looking at Ye Haoran's eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile, Yu Li felt so angry.
It was her younger sister Yu Haitang who was making trouble openly and openly, but it was her sister Yu Li who was causing trouble in private. How can I be reasonable?
Ye Haoran held the door open and said with a smile: "If you have anything to do, come in and talk to me. Sister, come too. I just want to talk to you about work."
"Work? What work?"
Yu Haitang looked at her sister in confusion. Yu Li was stunned for a moment, and then she felt happy. She didn't expect it to be implemented so quickly. She nodded and entered Ye Haoran's house ahead of Haitang.
The three of them returned to the house, and Yu Haitang poured a few cups of hot water skillfully, as if this was her own home and she was the hostess.
But these did not have any impact on Yu Li's senses, after all, she came many times.
"Haoran, what kind of job is this? Why is it related to my sister?"
Ye Haoran smiled and did not speak. Yu Li took over the conversation and explained: "Sister, it's like this. I'm bored at home, so I just want to find a job and supplement the family income, but it doesn't matter."
"Then you came to Haoran? Why didn't you say hello to me in advance?"
Yu Haitang was a little angry. The last person she wanted to trouble Ye Haoran was the Yan family. She would not stand idly by if her sister was in trouble, but she also didn't want the stingy Yan family to take advantage of her.
Ye Haoran raised his hand to hold Yu Haitang and asked her to sit down first, and then said: "What are you doing? Yu Li is your sister and mine. You care about this little thing. What are you talking about? You have to live in the same yard in the future. , have a better attitude.”
Yu Haitang looked at her sister, then at Ye Haoran, said "Oh" and sat down to ask about work.
Yu Li blushed a little, especially after hearing the words "living in a yard".
Yu Haitang didn't know, but she knew it well. She had heard stories about sisters sharing in ancient times, which was quite shocking in today's society.
Ye Haoran pretended that nothing happened and said, "It was just a matter of saying hello. If it was the Yan family, I wouldn't care about it, but Yu Li is our sister after all. Work is a good thing. Go and shine at your post." It’s okay if you don’t support it, how can you still attack it?”
"I'm not attacking you. I didn't know it, and you didn't tell me in advance. By the way, where did you arrange for my sister to go?"
Ye Haoran said calmly: "The supply and marketing cooperative is the one at the entrance of the alley."
"ah???"
"ah!
! "
Yu Li and Yu Haitang were surprised at the same time.
The supply and marketing cooperative is not a small workshop or a private unit, it is a serious and well-established unit, and no one who can go to work there is okay.
The work is not tiring. I spend the whole day either eating melon seeds or gossiping. When a client comes, I don’t need to introduce him. I just need to be responsible for helping to hand it over. Not to mention that everyone is envious of him.
"Can I go to work in the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Ye Haoran nodded naturally: "What's wrong with the supply and marketing cooperative? It's not an ordinary first-level unit, and the salary rating is not high. There's nothing surprising about it."
Yu Haitang was also happy for her sister. Although her attitude was bad just now, the fundamental reason was because Yu Li didn't tell her first.
"That's great, sister, if you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative, you won't have to look at the Yan family's face in the future."
"Thank you, Haoran..."
