Chapter 54: The Yan Family's Heartfelt Confession
The next day, Yan Jiekuang moved to the backyard.
After Yi Zhonghai’s warning, no one from the retirement group came to cause trouble again.
He returned to his comfortable life.
But there is one difference, that is, I no longer bring meat home.
Since he started working, he would bring some meat back home every now and then to improve the food standard at home.
The Yan family’s food has improved several times compared to before, and it is definitely ranked first in the courtyard.
But in the past month, Yan Jiekuang has not brought anything home and still eats in the front yard every day.
This caused Yan's food to drop drastically. Now, let alone being ranked first, he can only be ranked last because this is already the worst ranking.
In fact, these were all made specially by Yan Jiekuang. Although he ate at home every day, he would go to a restaurant to eat something delicious, or eat a few meat buns to supplement his nutrition.
He just wanted to test Yan Bugui and his wife a little to make them understand the consequences of plotting against their own children.
During this period, the brothers and sisters often complained about the decline in food standards, and they also approached Yan Jiekuang, asking him to bring back some meat.
But he always refused with various reasons and would only secretly give his sister a few buns and let her eat them in hiding.
Yan Bugui also hinted to Yan Jiekuang several times to bring back some meat, but he ignored him.
More than a month passed like this.
The next day was Sunday, and Yan Jiekuang didn't have to go to work, so Yan Bugui came up to him and said, "Old Third, you don't have to go to work tomorrow either. I'm going to ride my bike to go fishing."
In the past, every time Yan Jiekuang took a break, Yan Bugui would ride away his bicycle, and he never cared about it.
Although the car was rented by him and nominally belonged to him, he never refused anyone in his family who wanted to use it.
He is not a stingy person and will not care about such small things.
But this time it was different: "10 cents for rent."
"What? This is my car, and you want money from me?"
Yan Bugui looked incredulous, this was his car.
Looking at his startled father, Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "You forgot, I rented this car on a monthly basis. I have already paid you this month's rent, and I paid four dollars. You have made a profit."
Yan Bugui was choked by these words and couldn't say anything. After all, these were all facts, but he still didn't accept it.
"I'm your father, and you're asking me for money for riding my bike. Do you have any conscience?"
"Don't you always say that you are the most fair? You also always teach us that if we earn our own money, we can spend it ourselves. If we don't plan well, we will be poor."
"Isn't this what you said?"
Yan Jiekuang's words were so straightforward that Yan Bugui had no way of refutation.
He is not the kind of person who makes unreasonable demands, and he always adheres to the principles of fairness and justice at home.
Seeing his son plotting against him, he couldn't really describe how he felt.
Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiekuang steadily for a while, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing and went into the inner room alone.
The people who had been watching were stunned. Ever since Yan Jiekuang stopped bringing meat home, everyone noticed a change in him.
But the stuff belonged to someone else, and no one could force Yan Jiekuang to hand over the meat.
And today's struggle was something no one expected.
Yan Jiekuang saw everyone's expressions and felt that the time had come.
So he walked into the inner room alone: "Dad, let's have a meeting."
Although Yan Bugui didn't know what his son was going to do, he was angry and wanted to have a fight with Yan Jiekuang during the meeting.
"Open it! I want to see what you have to say."
Then he walked to the living room and sat down.
When the others saw that a meeting was about to start, they found their seats and stopped talking.
Yan Jiekuang didn't say any pleasantries, he was preparing to take some drastic measures.
"I think you've noticed my changes during this time. Now I'm telling you clearly that I did this on purpose."
"Dad, now can you understand how it feels to be schemed against by the person closest to you?"
Yan Bugui also guessed Yan Jiekuang's intention, but in order to save face, he still said: "Why, I raised you to this age just to let you settle accounts with me?"
Seeing that his father was still being stubborn, Yan Jiekuang raised his voice: "Are we going to settle accounts with you? Isn't this what you two have always made clear to us?"
"You also said a long time ago that we have been keeping accounts since we were born, and we remember exactly how much money we owe."
"Then let me ask you this: if we return all the money to you, will you still need us to take care of you when you are old?"
"Don't you always say that you are fair and just? Tell me yourself."
Yan Jiekuang's words were straightforward and sharp.
The things that Yan Bugui had always been unwilling to face were revealed to him. He stood there in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.
Seeing that no one was talking, Yan Jiekuang softened his tone: "Mom and Dad, we are family. If we scheme against our own people just like we scheme against outsiders, how much family affection will be left in the end? Think about it yourself!"
After Yan Jiekuang finished speaking, he stopped looking at his parents and turned his gaze to other people.
"Brother, sister-in-law, and second brother, I am the youngest in the family, so I shouldn't be the one saying these things. But if this continues, can our family still be considered a family?"
"I know you think your parents are too harsh, but think about it, it's not easy for them. They have to raise us, how can they not be thrifty?"
Everyone looked at Yan Jiekuang pointing his spearhead at them and sat up straight.
The eldest brother, Yan Jiecheng, spoke first: "Third brother, since we have come to this point today, let's get it straight. Do you know how much savings your sister-in-law and I have after working for so many years?"
Yan Jiecheng didn't wait for anyone to say anything before he spoke up: "Not a cent."
"Can you believe that two people went to class for three or four years and couldn't save a penny?"
"Not only do we have to pay for living expenses every month, but we also have to use the remaining money to pay back the money my dad lent me to buy a job."
"Adding our own expenses, after all these years, we haven't even paid back Dad's money, and we still don't dare to have children."
Yan Jiecheng felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and in the end he began to cry. His sister-in-law Yu Li beside him also had an unpleasant look on her face.
The second brother, Yan Jiefang, also spoke out his true feelings: "Third brother, you helped me find my job, and I am very grateful. But you know, you asked dad for 400 yuan, but dad turned around and asked me to pay back 500 yuan after I got a job, and asked for a quarter of the interest."
Listening to his sons' accusations, Yan Bugui's face became more and more ugly.
Yan Jiekuang was afraid that this would backfire, so he quickly stopped talking.
"I know that Dad might be too calculating with money, but they are not targeting us, right? The old couple also save money every day, and sometimes they even eat worse than us."
"They just experienced too many hard times and have no peace of mind. Go to other places and see how many children starved to death during those difficult three years."
"As for us, although we didn't have enough clothes and food, we never ran out of food every day, and we were able to go to school."
Seeing everyone lost in thought, Yan Jiekuang raised his voice: "I don't care what you think, just don't let me know that family members are scheming against family members again, otherwise don't look for me if you have any problems in the future, and I won't help you even if you do."
"Mom and Dad, I'm telling you this. If you continue to scheme against me like this in the future, don't blame me for also scheming against you so clearly."
What Yan Jiekuang said today can be considered as treasonous.
