Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Yan Bugui cleared his throat and said slowly: "We can't share all of this thirty yuan. We have to keep some of it as a reserve fund for our family in case of emergency."

"In addition, we have to set aside some money to buy some New Year goods so that we can have a good New Year."

"Originally I wanted your eldest brother to be in charge of this year's New Year's goods, but as everyone has seen, your eldest sister-in-law has made a great contribution to this business."

"It's obviously not right to let them both bear the cost of our New Year's goods. Do you think what Dad said makes sense?"

The whole family felt that what Yan Bugui said made sense and they all nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, everyone waited for Yan Bugui to say how to divide the money. Unexpectedly, he took a sip of water and said, "Tell me, what kind of dumplings should we make for the New Year this year?"

Seeing that he didn't get to the point, Yan Jiecheng couldn't hold back any longer: "Dad, you haven't told us how to divide the remaining money."

Yan Bugui put down his water cup, glanced at Yan Jiecheng slowly, coughed lightly and said:

"Why are you in such a hurry? We need to think carefully about dividing the money. Let's first settle the New Year's plan, and then we can naturally divide the money."

"I have to make one thing clear. We will keep most of this money as a reserve fund. After buying New Year's goods and so on, there won't be much left."

Hearing this, the family looked at each other in surprise. They originally thought that each of them could get a sum of money, but they didn't expect Yan Bugui to have such a plan.

Yu Li frowned slightly, feeling somewhat reluctant. After all, she and the third aunt had worked the hardest and given the most these days.

She gently touched Yan Jiecheng's arm and gave him a look. Yan Jiecheng immediately understood, cleared his throat and said:

"Dad, we have no objection to keeping this money as a reserve fund, but it won't cost much to buy New Year's goods, right?"

"Besides, my wife and mother have been really exhausted these days, so I have to consider them more."

Yan Jiecheng was also dissatisfied with Yan Bugui's arrangement. He originally thought that he could get more money and save it to build a small house so that everyone would not have to live together.

Unexpectedly, it would have been fine if he hadn't spoken. As soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Bugui remembered his previous laziness, and immediately glared at him and cursed:

"Boss, please shut up. You are the one who contributed the least to this business. How dare you complain now?"

"Huh, you're tired? I'm not tired. I have to worry about everything in this family. I have the final say on how to divide the money, so stop complaining."

Yan Jiecheng was scolded by his father and his face turned red, but he didn't dare to talk back.

Seeing this, Yu Li was even more dissatisfied. She bit her lip and said, "Dad, Jie Cheng did do something wrong, but we are also working hard."

"It's winter, and you're busy all the time. Can't you give me a little more hard work pay?"

Yan Bugui frowned, looked at Yu Li, and said, "Hard work? Who wouldn't be hard work? Don't forget that I paid for the materials that enabled you to make this deal."

"I didn't tell you that we've used so much coal these days, but you guys can't see it, right? Life is hard at home, so we have to save some."

"This money is kept as a reserve fund for future emergencies, and the New Year's goods are also for everyone to have a good New Year. Don't just think about your own little calculations."

After saying that, he glanced at Yan Jiecheng sideways again, his face full of reproach, as if warning him: Put away those evil ideas as soon as possible.

Seeing this scene, the third aunt sighed silently. She knew that Yan Bugui had his reasons for his decision, but she still felt a little disappointed.

Yu Li wanted to argue a few more words, but Yan Jiecheng gently pulled her clothes, signaling her to stop talking. He was afraid that if Yan Bugui really wanted to divide the family business, it would be a big trouble.

At this time, Yu Li was already furious and could no longer care about these things. She broke free from Yan Jiecheng's pull, raised her eyebrows, and said in a louder voice:

"Dad, you can't say that. We've been busy all the time and have suffered so much in this cold winter."

"It's true that you paid for the materials, but without our help, this business wouldn't be possible."

"We've worked so hard for so many days, and you're so fussy about using a little coal. Does that mean our hard work is not worth mentioning? We get nothing, and this is too unfair."

After hearing what their sister-in-law said, the three younger brothers and sisters began to complain and talk about how tired they were during those days.

The second oldest brother, Yan Jiefang, was watching from the side, feeling somewhat nervous. He knew that he had no say in the matter, but he did not want to see his eldest brother and his wife suffer.

So, he said carefully: "Dad, how about you guys discuss it again? I don't think we can let my eldest brother and his wife work in vain."

The third aunt was afraid that Yan Bugui would vent his anger on his second son, so she quickly stopped him behind her while scolding him, "Why do you, child, interrupt when adults are talking?"

Yan Bugui glanced at his wife and the second son hidden behind her, snorted, and said:

"Negotiation? What's there to discuss? I'm the head of the family, I have the final say on this matter, the money is divided like this, no one can change it."

Yu Li was still unconvinced. She said with red eyes, "Dad, you can't be so unreasonable. Who will dare to work for this family after you do this?"

After hearing what their eldest sister-in-law said, the younger brothers and sisters all nodded in unison and said things like how they would be lazy in the future.

Yan Bugui looked at the reactions of the crowd and became so angry that his face turned blue. He slammed the table and said loudly:

"Shut up! It's not your turn to make the decisions in this house. If anyone dares to object, get out of this house."

Yan Jiecheng was most reluctant to see this scene, so he hurriedly pulled Yu Li back and whispered, "Yu Li, stop talking. If you keep making trouble, we'll really have to split up the family."

Yu Li bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to speak.

The family was intimidated by Yan Bugui's momentum and dared not speak anymore, but everyone's heart was filled with grievances and dissatisfaction.

After a long while, Yan Bugui's mood calmed down a little. He cleared his throat and said, "Okay, stop looking so gloomy. This is settled."

"Starting tomorrow, everyone should get ready for the New Year. If anyone slacks off, don't blame your dad for being rude."

In the end, under Yan Bugui's distribution, Yu Li received two yuan in income, and her three younger brothers and sisters received fifty cents each.

The third aunt thought that she had been busy with her daughter-in-law for so many days and should enjoy the same treatment as her daughter-in-law, so she had to give her two dollars.

But Yan Bugui seemed to have forgotten about this. Seeing that everyone else got the money but she was ignored, she felt very upset.

"Old Yan, I've been working here for so long, why don't I get a share of the money?"

The third aunt waited for a while, but Yan Bugui still didn't give her money, so she couldn't help but express her doubts.
