Chapter 513 Greed Takes Over
Upon hearing his younger brother's words, a hint of disgust flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
They looked at Yan Bugui as if he were a clown.
At first, Li Qin genuinely believed that Yan Bugui was dissatisfied with him, which is why he repeatedly obstructed the delivery of coal briquettes.
Only then did I realize that it was all because of the coal briquettes.
Li Qin bought a lot of coal briquettes this time, probably because Yan Bugui saw them and was overcome by greed.
Once these coal briquettes are delivered to the Yan family, there will definitely be fewer of them.
Even if Li Qin comes knocking, Yan Bugui can deny it and even frame the two young men who deliver coal briquettes.
Given Yan Bugui's personality, he is fully capable of doing such a thing.
Although Li Qin knew what Yan Bugui was planning, he did not intend to say anything more.
Instead, he gave the other person a deep look, then said in an icy tone, "Now that we've confirmed they're delivering coal briquettes to my house, does Uncle San have any further questions? If not, may we allow them into the courtyard?"
Yan Bugui had originally prepared for Li Qin to erupt, but unexpectedly, Li Qin did not seem to have that intention.
Yan Bugui subconsciously glanced at Li Qin with a look of doubt and confusion.
However, seeing Li Qin's cold eyes, Yan Bugui's heart still trembled. He then quickly smiled and said, "There's no problem. Since it's confirmed that they are delivering coal briquettes to Li Qin's house, they can of course enter the courtyard."
After saying that, he didn't care about losing face and turned to walk towards the Yan family.
Li Qin simply watched the other person's back with a calm expression, without saying a word to stop them.
He had finally enjoyed a few days of peace, but Yan Bugui had unexpectedly interrupted them, so he was naturally very unhappy.
However, this matter is not a big deal at the moment, and Li Qin can't hold onto it.
That would only make people think that Li Qin is petty and lacks magnanimity.
Although Li Qin didn't care about these things in his heart, he had to consider the overall situation.
However, this does not mean that Li Qin has truly let go of this matter.
He simply put all of this on Yan Bugui's tab, intending to settle accounts with Yan Bugui once and for all when the opportunity arose in the future.
After Yan Bugui left, Li Qin turned his gaze back to the two young men: "Alright, now you can get back to work."
Li Qin nodded to the two of them.
He then led the two directly to the backyard, and under Li Qin's guidance, placed the coal briquettes in the pre-prepared spot.
Li Qin chose to place the coal briquettes under the eaves between the house and the kitchen, partly for easy access and partly because the area was waterproof and moisture-proof.
If the coal briquettes are placed here, they can be stored for a long time without any problems, as long as no one deliberately sabotages them.
The two young men then began carrying coal briquettes to Li Qin's house, trip after trip.
Many people have seen this.
Moreover, almost everyone noticed that Li Qin bought far more coal briquettes than was normal.
Everyone could tell that Li Qin must have used some legitimate methods, but no one thought of reporting him or causing trouble.
One reason is that everyone lives in the same courtyard, so there's no need to make things so harsh.
Another reason is that, in reality, not everyone is that clean;
Every household in the courtyard house had someone who had been to the black market and bought things there, such as grains and vegetables, daily necessities, or receipts.
Everyone knows this.
If someone were to stand up and criticize Li Qin now, or report him, the end result would be that everyone would suffer.
Without Yan Bugui's obstruction, and with the other residents knowing what was going on and not saying anything out of turn.
Therefore, the subsequent handling of the coal briquettes proceeded very smoothly.
In addition, it was two young people moving it together.
So in just a short while, a whole cartload of coal briquettes was moved to Li Qin's house.
Li Qin did not allow the two to place some of the coal briquettes directly next to the fireplace in the house.
Li Qin planned to handle this small matter himself later, when it was dark and no one was paying attention.
For him, it was just a matter of waving his hand.
"Thank you for your hard work. Please sit down, have a drink of water, and take a rest."
Seeing that the two had finished their work, Li Qin quickly led them into his home and poured them two glasses of water.
The two young men, who had been so focused on moving coal briquettes that they hadn't paid attention to Li Qin's house, were immediately taken aback when they entered.
Clean, tidy, spacious, and bright.
The two young people sat somewhat awkwardly on chairs in the living room.
Upon seeing this, Li Qin revealed a faint smile.
Li Qin was quite satisfied with the two young men in front of him.
Li Qin had been watching the two of them work the whole time.
He noticed that although the two young men were quite old, they did a very good job.
Under normal circumstances, loading and unloading a truckload of coal briquettes will at least damage or break some of them; this is a common occurrence.
However, of the coal briquettes that the two young men delivered to Li Qinyun, only a few at the very bottom scattered due to the pressure.
The other coal briquettes were generally fine.
Li Qin also noticed that the two of them were very careful while working, trying their best to avoid breaking the coal briquettes.
Although broken coal briquettes can still be used, they are not as good as whole briquettes.
The fact that these two people were able to do this only shows that they are very meticulous in their work.
Moreover, after finishing the work, the two young men carefully cleaned up any remaining traces and tidied up the place.
These are things they didn't need to do in the first place.
"According to the market rate, this job should be worth two yuan, but I made some requests beforehand and set a time limit, which you have fulfilled."
So I will keep my promise and give you three dollars.
Seeing the two young men finish their water in one gulp and then stare intently at him, Li Qin immediately knew what they were thinking.
Li Qin then smiled and said.
After hearing Li Qin's words, the two young men immediately smiled.
Actually, they had been feeling uneasy the whole time.
It was not because of anything else, but because of what happened in the front yard earlier.
They initially thought they were causing trouble for Li Qin, and that it would be good enough if Li Qin could settle the normal fees.
Unexpectedly, Li Qin didn't care about what had happened before and still settled their bill.
Moreover, as agreed upon at the coal yard, they were given extra money, and by one dollar.
In just two or three hours, they earned three yuan, which is a considerable income.
"Thank you, thank you!"
The two young men put down their water glasses and immediately thanked Li Qin repeatedly.
Li Qin waved his hand dismissively: "No need to thank me, this is the result of your hard work."
After saying this, Li Qin got up and went into the study, then took out a few coins from a locked drawer.
Although Li Qin has a storage ring, he can put many things in the storage ring.
But he still kept some loose change at home.
There aren't many.
This is to conform to the current way people behave.
