Chapter 461 The Yan Family Discusses Marriage
"Cui Fen, this matter depends on you. Buy some melon seeds tomorrow and talk to Old Liu's wife, Old Yan's wife and other women in the courtyard."
Zhao Ming had long been dissatisfied with Chen Hai, and after listening to his father Zhao Fu's words, he felt that it made sense. It seemed that Chen Hai had indeed been able to maintain his position as the eldest brother of the courtyard by taking all the credit for taking care of Old Lady Zhang. No wonder he could not change Chen Hai's position and replace him despite his efforts.
After realizing this, Zhao Ming's hatred for Chen Hai became even greater than his dissatisfaction with Wu Jun.
"Listen everyone, let's not interfere in the affairs of Chen Hai and Wu Jun. Let them fight among themselves."
Aunt Li agreed with this proposal very much: "Did you hear that? Let's not interfere. Let them fight among themselves. We will take action when they are evenly matched."
Zhao Tian and Zhao Fu quickly agreed, otherwise they would be beaten by their father.
"Mom, you can't get involved. If you say something bad about Wu Jun and let others hear it..."
Aunt Li replied anxiously: "How could I do that?"
Zhao Ming thought for a moment and said, "Mom, don't talk about Wu Jun in the yard."
Aunt Li had no choice but to promise not to say anything more. When the night was quiet, the Zhao Tian brothers began to whisper:
"Brother, do you think Wu Jun can survive?"
Zhao Tian didn't care whether Wu Jun could survive or not, he only cared whether Wu Jun would continue to give them benefits. "Wu Jun is very generous, you have to find a time to listen to the news in the courtyard and then tell him secretly. We can still have something good to eat."
Zhao Fu nodded. The scene of delivering the message to Wu Jun last time was still vivid in his mind. The reward given by Wu Jun surprised them greatly.
In the front yard of the Yan family, an emergency meeting was being held at Yan Dagui's home, the topic of discussion was how to deal with future situations.
Yan Cheng's mind is no longer on the yard, he only wants to marry Lili as soon as possible.
The other children of the Yan family, especially Yan Fang and Yan Kuang, admire Wu Jun very much and respect his courage to fight against authority and break the rule of the three big brothers.
Yan Di envied the snacks in Xueer's hand. He had secretly observed her many times and found that Xueer always shared the delicious food with Doudou.
Yan Dagui was unsure about what to do. Most people in the hospital did not show support, and he had no intention of getting involved. But Wu Jun was extremely disrespectful to him, and he wanted to teach Wu Jun a lesson.
However, thinking of Wu Jun's methods, Yan Dagui felt scared again. Yi Hai had the support of the deaf old lady and was not afraid of Wu Jun's revenge, but he himself did not have this confidence. If he really followed Yi Hai's footsteps and was locked up in the police station, or even lost his job, it would be a loss.
Even if he defeated Wu Jun, the benefits might not all belong to him. Considering this, Yan Dagui made a decision.
"Listen carefully, don't have any more conflicts with Wu Jun recently. Our family will not care about the conflict between Chen Hai and Wu Jun."
Yan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried that the Yan family would intervene. Last time, he lost two hundred yuan due to the conflict, which led to the postponement of his wedding date. This time, the wedding date could not be postponed no matter what. "Dad, this matter has nothing to do with our family. Why should we be involved? The top priority of our family is my wedding with Lili."
Although Yan Dagui felt distressed, he could do nothing about it. Marrying a daughter-in-law would cost money, and he was mentally prepared.
"Is that all you have? Will you starve to death if the wedding is delayed a few days?"
Yan Cheng immediately retorted: "Dad, the family has spent so much money on Lili. If we don't marry her, wouldn't it be a waste? Unless you return the money to me, I'm not in a hurry to get married."
The great aunt said anxiously, "How can that be possible! Lili is the one our family has chosen. We spent so much money on her and it cannot go to waste. Go and discuss the marriage."
"Mom, how can I get the money to get married? I have to tell you the truth. If I delay any longer, my wedding with Lili will definitely fail. If we really can't get married, all my previous promises will be invalid."
Yan Dagui couldn't possibly help Yan Cheng get married for free. It was agreed that Yan Cheng would pay back the expenses after the wedding. With this promise, Yan Dagui was willing to pay for Yan Cheng to find Lili.
Yan Cheng was quite satisfied with this and said that he would repay the money after the marriage. But now he suddenly changed his mind and the money was wasted.
Yan Dagui thought for a moment and felt that he could not delay any longer, otherwise his son's marriage would be ruined. "If you want to get married earlier, that's fine, but it's your own business after all. You must return the money you lent me."
Yan Cheng was puzzled: "I said I would pay you back and give you ten yuan a month."
"That was all in the past. The family has lost two hundred dollars, and you have to bear part of it. You and your three brothers and sisters will each pay fifty dollars."
The four children of the Yan family immediately expressed their opposition, but they lacked their father's shrewdness and were ultimately defeated.
After persuading a few children, Yan Dagui breathed a sigh of relief
Inside the Li family's house, Li Yingwu's mother shouted "unjust" as soon as she entered the door. She shouted: "Yingwu, Liu Kun is in trouble, what should we do?"
Li Yingwu pondered for a moment and replied, "Mom, didn't we agree to join forces with Liu Kun? He is the head of the security department. Uncle Wang has some face in front of Director Zhang, but his wife is just a martyr's relative and can't deal with us at all."
After hearing this, Li's mother seemed to understand what her son meant. Although the decision to join forces with Liu Kun was correct, he was a newcomer after all and his foundation was still shallow.
Mother Li sighed and said, "I don't object to you doing this, but you have to think about it. Our son is only two years old. Uncle Wang is an eighth-level technician in the factory. What if he makes trouble for you in the factory?"
Li Yingwu shook his head and said, "Mom, I know what you are worried about. Now I have been promoted to a fourth-level technician and I am not in the same workshop as him. It is not easy for him to deal with me. Besides, we have been living so comfortably these past two days. I remember when the child was born, my wife did not have enough milk, so my family gritted their teeth and bought some nutritional supplements for her. As a result, we not only had to send them to the old lady, but also to the Qin family, so there was not much left for our family to eat."
Speaking of this, members of the Li family burst into tears, especially Li Yingwu's wife, who nearly lost her baby due to malnutrition.
Li Yingwu wiped his tears and said, "I was not good enough before and made you suffer a lot. Now I don't want to let you suffer any more."
Mother Li nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I support you. We will join forces with Liu Kun. Your brother was playing with the kid from the Wang family and accidentally pushed him down. As a result, that family instigated a madman to attack your brother. We must settle this account together."
The whole family reached a consensus and prepared to confront the old lady head-on.
Not far away, Chen Minghui's family was also discussing this issue. Chen Minghui said to his wife, "It won't be long before someone in the courtyard spreads bad things about Liu Kun. You can say a few good words for Liu Kun in the courtyard. If it doesn't work, remember it and come back to tell me."
Chen's wife, Sun Tianfang, asked in surprise: "Why? Will we offend a lot of people by doing this?"
Chen Minghui looked at his younger brother Chen Mingqiang and said, "Mingqiang is getting old, and I want to find him a job. Although Liu Kun is new, he has already established himself in the steel mill. When the time is right, I want to ask him if he can arrange for Mingqiang to work in the steel mill. I am his eldest brother, and it is my duty to find a job for him."
Chen Mingqiang hurriedly said, "Brother, don't let my sister-in-law offend others because of me. She will suffer if she is alone at home."
Sun Tianfang immediately retorted: "Mingqiang, don't say anything and listen to your brother. If you can get into the steel mill, the burden on the family will be greatly reduced. It doesn't matter if I offend those people."
Chen Minghui advised, "Okay, let's do this. You know, Liu Kun is very close to Xu Damao, Tian Youfu, and Li Yingwu's family. We have formed an alliance, and our strength is not weak. If we get through this, life in the hospital will be much better in the future."
Sun Tianfang nodded and began to think about how to discuss countermeasures with the Tian and Li families. Liu Kun is the head of the security department and will definitely be more promising than them in the future.
Other people in the hospital were also discussing this matter, but most people did not want to offend anyone and would rather watch from the sidelines.
Liu Kun and Xu Damao were also discussing countermeasures, mainly Xu Damao was talking and Liu Kun was listening. Xu Damao had experienced similar difficulties before and knew how difficult it was. Everyone in the courtyard looked at him coldly, and the feeling of being isolated and helpless was very painful.
Xu Damao talked about the past and couldn't help but drink to relieve his sorrow, and got drunk again. Jiang Li'e naturally stayed at Liu Kun's house and didn't want to go back to the backyard. It was too close to the old lady's house, which made her feel uneasy.
In recent days, Jiang Li'e always felt that the old lady was staring at her, as if she wanted to keep her by her side. This was not only because of the delicious food, but also had a deeper reason.
The next morning, Xu Damao woke up and found Liu Kun lying on the table. This was of course a scene Liu Kun had arranged in advance. After waking up, Liu Kun complained, "Why are you drunk again?"
Xu Damao laughed loudly: "Good wine, so what if I get drunk? Look at me now, how energetic I am!"
Time was running out and there was no time to make breakfast. Liu Kun said to Xu Damao, "Brother Damao, go buy some breakfast. Buy more. I'll cook two dishes and make some porridge at home."
Xu Damao smiled and refused the money Liu Kun handed over, saying, "I have my own money, so I don't need yours. You hurry up and cook at home, and I'll go buy breakfast."
Not long after, Xu Damao bought it back
Around ten o'clock, the women in the compound were busy cleaning their homes and planned to go to the yard to chat and rest. This is the golden time for everyone to communicate, especially in the lively front yard, which is a good place to gather.
Today was no exception. Several housewives, such as the second sister, the third sister-in-law, the eldest sister Tian, the aunts of the Qian and Zhu families, and two neighbors in the backyard gathered here to chat. At this time, the eldest aunt happened to walk into the courtyard carrying a bag of melon seeds, and the third sister-in-law happened to find her.
In the Yan family, it is a custom to plunder the passing geese, and the third sister-in-law is no exception. So she said, "Auntie, are you buying melon seeds today?"
An old lady walked into the crowd with a smile and put the melon seeds in a conspicuous place. "Old Yi got a melon seed ticket. He thought that his family couldn't finish them all, so he bought some. He will eat them in the evening. What are you talking about?"
