Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 175: Aunt 3 agrees to He Yuzhu's request

After dinner, He Yuzhu did not call Liu Xiuxiu, but went to the third aunt's house alone. He walked through the yard, and the stone pavement under his feet made a slight sound, accompanied by the night breeze, bringing a hint of coolness.

When he arrived at the door of the third aunt's house, he knocked gently. There were footsteps inside, and then the door was opened. The third aunt greeted him with a smile: "It's Shazhu, come in and sit down."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, walked into the room, and saw Yan Bugui sitting at the table. Yan Bugui looked up and saw He Yuzhu, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but then he regained his composure.

He thought to himself, this silly Zhu rarely comes to my place, why did he suddenly come today? However, he changed his mind and thought that no matter what He Yuzhu came to do, he could always get some benefits from it. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt relieved.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui smiled and said to He Yuzhu, "Hey, Silly Zhu, what a rare guest! Come on, come on, sit down, do you want to eat something more?"

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Bugui's hypocritical look and laughed in his heart. He thought: This old Yan is really good at changing his attitude according to the situation. If I really stay and have this bite, he will probably be so distressed that he can't sleep tonight.

So, he smiled and joked, "Uncle, I appreciate your kindness. But if I really stay to eat, will I be unable to leave this room? I dare not easily taste your precious food."

Yan Bugui was embarrassed by what He Yuzhu said. The smile on his face froze, and then he coughed twice to cover up his discomfort. He thought: Why did this silly Zhu become so eloquent today? However, as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

Thinking of this, he pretended to be calm and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, Shazhu, you are such a joker. Come on, sit down and let's have a good chat. What brings you here today?"

He Yuzhu took the cup, took a sip, and then put it down, his expression becoming serious. He stopped beating around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his visit:

"Uncle, I came here today to ask you and Aunt for a favor. I want Aunt to help me take care of Chang'an. I wonder if you and Aunt have time?"

As he spoke, He Yuzhu turned his gaze to the third aunt who had not spoken a word, his eyes full of expectation. He hoped to hear a positive answer from the third aunt.

When Yan Bugui heard He Yuzhu's request, his first thought was how much benefit he could get from it, but he deliberately showed some hesitation on the surface. He thought for a moment and then said:

"Shazhu, you know our family's situation. Your third aunt has been busy taking on temporary jobs and really can't spare much time to take care of the children."

After saying this, Yan Bugui secretly gave the third aunt a look, signaling her to cooperate with his statement.

The third aunt received Yan Bugui's eyes and understood what he meant. She said to He Yuzhu in embarrassment: "Yes, silly Zhu, you see I'm always busy, I'm really sorry..."

He Yuzhu looked at the cash of Yan Bugui and the other man and interrupted directly: "Five dollars."

"What? Five dollars?" Yan Bugui's eyes widened, and he could hardly believe his ears. His voice was full of surprise, and even his tone was raised by several decibels. He stared at He Yuzhu, and the expression on his face was as if he had seen a miracle.

Although the third aunt did not speak, her eyes seemed to speak, full of questions. She frowned slightly, as if she was thinking whether what she heard was true.

He Yuzhu looked at their reactions and had an idea in mind. He smiled and nodded, saying affirmatively, "Yes, five dollars a month. What do you think?"

When the third aunt heard He Yuzhu's confirmation, she immediately interrupted him, her tone full of enthusiasm and determination: "Okay, Shazhu, don't worry, I will definitely treat Chang'an better than my husband." As she spoke, a serious expression appeared on her face.

Yan Bugui also nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement with the third aunt. He rubbed his hands, as if he was already looking forward to the day when he could receive an extra five yuan every month.

He Yuzhu looked at their reactions and felt relieved. He continued, "Auntie, I will bring Changan and his things to you tomorrow morning. Xiuxiu will be back at noon to feed you."

When the third aunt heard He Yuzhu's words, she smiled with assurance. She nodded without hesitation, her voice full of determination: "No problem, Silly Zhu, just send it over tomorrow. I will take good care of Chang'an like my own child, don't worry."

He Yuzhu looked at the serious look of the third aunt, thanked them and said, "Thank you, uncle and aunt. I'll go back now." After that, he turned around and left, his steps were much lighter.

The third aunt watched He Yuzhu disappear at the door, the smile on her face still not fading. She turned her head and said to Yan Bugui:

"Old Yan, if I continue to help take care of Chang'an, how much extra income will we get a year? This is much better than me pasting matchboxes." Her eyes were shining with joy, as if she had already seen the future of huge wealth.

When Yan Bugui heard what the third aunt said, his eyes lit up. He touched the stubble on his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Shazhu won't let you take care of Chang'an forever, but it is very likely that I will let you take care of him until he goes to school. It will probably take at least six or seven years." His tone was full of joy.

When Auntie No. 3 heard what Yan Bugui said, she was extremely excited. She stretched out her hand and began to count with her fingers: "Then we will have 60 yuan a year, and in six or seven years it will be... Oh, I have to calculate carefully."

Her face was filled with a joyful smile, as if she had already seen the considerable income waving towards her.
