Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

After thinking for a while, Yan Bugui said to his eldest son, "Jiecheng, you know the situation in our family. Marrying a daughter-in-law means adding another mouth to feed. I'm afraid our family will be in even greater trouble in the future."

"What I mean is, since this has been agreed upon, your mother and I will let you go on a blind date with the girl as usual, and then you can just say that you are not compatible and that's it."

Yan Bugui thought that his eldest son had waited so long for a job arranged by the neighborhood committee office and had only paid one month's household allowance, so it was not cost-effective to marry him off at this time.

Unexpectedly, when the third aunt heard what Yan Bugui said, she immediately refused to listen. She couldn't bear to see her eldest son acting like a fool and having improper thoughts about the widow.

"Old Yan, let's talk about this later. There's no sign of it happening yet, so why rush?" She replied unhappily.

If the children hadn't been listening at the dinner table, she would have definitely discussed the matter with her husband and asked him whether money or children were more important.

Yan Bugui was suddenly interrupted by the third aunt and started to wonder in his heart, because usually this old lady always wore the same pants as him, but today she was acting so abnormally.

As the saying goes, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong, so he didn't say anything more.

When Yan Jiecheng saw the situation, he thought that his father was being controlled by his mother. He was very happy and became bolder.

After pouring the corn paste in the bowl into his stomach, he said, "Dad, let's go on a blind date and see what the girl looks like first. What if we like her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Yan Bugui's face was not right, so he quickly made an excuse to go and discuss something with his co-workers and slipped away.

My younger brothers and sisters learned to read people's faces since they were young. When they saw that something was wrong, they quickly finished the food in their bowls and ran out to play.

Only Yan Bugui and his wife were left in the room, and he started to get angry at the third aunt: "A loving mother often spoils her son. Just wait and see, when there are more people in the family, will we still be able to have enough to eat?"

The third aunt naturally did not want to be outdone. She roughly listed the family's daily food and drink expenses and concluded that Yan Bugui did not spend all his monthly salary, so he must have some money left.

After listening to the accounts calculated by the third aunt, Yan Bugui secretly exclaimed in his heart: The accounts calculated by this old woman are almost always accurate. When did she become more meticulous than me?

He quickly lowered his voice: "Keep your voice down, let the children know that if they keep asking for food, our family will really be out of money."

Seeing that she had won, the third aunt stopped arguing and lowered her voice to tell her husband about how the eldest son often stared at the widow's back in a daze, and she was afraid that he would follow Sha Zhu's old path.

Among the widows in the courtyard, Qin Huairu is the only one who is good-looking and worthy of attention. It can't be Jia Zhang.

Anyone who has anything to do with the Jia family will be sucked dry by them. Others may not know this, but as the third uncle in the courtyard, how could Yan Bugui not know this?

Our eldest brother, Yan Jiecheng, deserves to be described as a young talent. It is impossible for him to marry a widow with three children and an old woman.

From this perspective, my spouse's concerns are reasonable. After all, even he was worried after hearing this. After discussing it, the couple agreed that since the signs have been discovered, they must be eliminated in time.

Yan Bugui calculated that compared to being drained of blood all his life, the cost of marrying a wife was much lower.

So the two of them formed a united front, not only to let Yan Jiecheng go on blind dates, but also to let him find the right person and get married, so that he would have no time to think about the widow.

I have to say that Aunt Wang is very efficient. She brought good news just after lunch. The girl's family agreed, and took her to the Yan family for a blind date the next day.

Hearing Aunt Wang's words, Yan Bugui and his wife were very happy. The third aunt pulled her into the house to sit down, and Yan Bugui personally poured her a bowl of water.

Yan Bugui's attitude changed so quickly that Aunt Wang was very uncomfortable with it. After she explained some things to pay attention to, she quickly left the Yan family.

As soon as I came out of Yan's house, I met Lin Donglai and his sister, one carrying a bucket and a stool, and the other carrying a fishing rod.

Aunt Wang's eyes lit up: "Dongla, are you going fishing? It's so hot today, you need to find a shady place so you don't get burned."

"Grandma Wang, we are not afraid of the sun." Lin Dongyi answered quickly. She often went to play with Wang Erni in the alley and was very familiar with Aunt Wang.

The brother and sister walked out of the courtyard with Aunt Wang. She nudged Lin Donglai and said, "Donlai, have you thought through what I told you last time? That girl is so pretty, do you want to meet her?"

Lin Donglai naturally refused again on the grounds of being too young. He had already thought about it seriously and decided that he would only consider finding a partner after he had made all the necessary preparations.

Aunt Wang was rejected again. She stood at the door of her house disappointedly, watching the brother and sister walk away, muttering, "Such a good boy, I don't know which lucky girl will marry him."

After Aunt Wang left, Yan Bugui urged the children to start cleaning, and promised that whoever cleaned the best would be allowed to eat some delicious food at his eldest brother's blind date tomorrow.

The children were happy to hear this, and naturally started working hard. They even cleaned every corner of the house several times, and the windows were wiped even cleaner than during the Chinese New Year.

Yan Bugui took out his ancestral abacus and started to play with it. After a while, he smiled and said to the third aunt, "Yang Ruihua, I have an idea."

"Whatever you do, you need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Sister Wang just said she wanted to buy some peanuts, melon seeds, candies, etc."

"Also, this girl is here for the first time, we can't let her go home hungry, we have to keep her and Sister Wang for a meal."

"Okay, okay, I have plans for these, so don't worry about it." After being nagged by his companion for a few words, Yan Bugui's desire to share disappeared. He went back to the room, changed his clothes and went out.

Yan Bugui went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a little bit of melon seeds and candies for the next day. He felt very sad about spending the money and pursed his lips feeling uncomfortable all the way.

When he returned to the courtyard gate, he ran into Qin Huairu who had just returned from outside. Seeing him, she greeted him warmly: "Uncle, where have you been?"

When he saw Qin Huairu, he thought of what his wife had said. Yan Bugui said with a forced smile, "I didn't go anywhere." Then he went straight home.

At the same time, he thought: If it weren't for Qin Huairu, the eldest brother's search for a partner might have been delayed for another year or two, and he could have saved money to get married without having to pay for it himself.

Qin Huairu was a person who could read people's faces. The Third Uncle's expression was obviously hostile to her. She thought about it and said to herself: I didn't provoke the Third Uncle, it's really inexplicable.

When the third aunt heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she knew that it was Yan Bugui who had come back from shopping, so she immediately came back from the kitchen. When she opened the door and saw what he had placed on the table, she was dumbfounded:

There were a few candies that I could count and less than half a pound of melon seeds. It was so shabby...
