Siheyuan: Crossing the two worlds, if you don't obey, you will be a beast

"Do you understand?" Yan Bugui's face was gloomy, and his small eyes were fixed on the family members in front of him, as if he wanted to see through their hearts. His voice was low and majestic, with an unquestionable momentum.

"I understand, Dad." Everyone answered in unison, revealing a hint of nervousness and helplessness in their voices. They knew that their father had always been stingy, and this decision would definitely make everyone's life more difficult, but they didn't dare to refute it.

"Very good, then from today on, we will do as I say. If anyone dares not to listen to me, don't blame me for being rude!" Yan Bugui said sternly, with a glimmer of ruthlessness in his eyes. He seemed to have absolute control over this family and would not allow anyone to challenge his authority.

Then, Yan Bugui looked at the two brothers Jiefang and Jiecheng, his eyes revealing a hint of calculation: "Jiecheng, Jiefang, you two are already adults, especially Jiecheng, you have started a family, you can live and eat at home in the future, but the accommodation fee can be waived, but the food fee must be paid per person. Jiecheng, you are two people now, so each person will pay three yuan; Jiefang, you are alone, so you will pay three yuan, is that okay?"

Xie Cheng frowned, showing a dissatisfied look on his face. He felt that this arrangement was unreasonable. His salary from odd jobs was not high, and he had to pay for food. But he did not dare to confront his father directly, so he could only mutter in a low voice: "Dad, isn't this too much..."

Yan Bugui glared at him and interrupted him: "What do you mean by 'more?' Don't be ungrateful, boy. It's great to be able to live at home. You have a family now and it's time to start a career. You still want to starve me? How long will I feed you? There is no room for negotiation this time." His eyes flashed with greed, and he was obviously very satisfied with this decision.

Yan Jiefang was not unhappy at all. After all, this was the best. With three yuan, he only needed to work with Brother Dongyu. He would have twenty-five yuan a month. What was he afraid of? Three yuan a month for food? That was why he did not tell his family that he might have an income of twenty-five yuan at present. Otherwise, there would be no family meeting.

Then if he really got the 25 yuan income by then, most of it would definitely be taken away by his father. After all, it was like this before. Now, at least he made the rule himself, and he would have no reason to ask him for money. Just thinking about it made him feel that he was very smart. From now on, as long as he worked with Brother Dongyu for a year or two, he would not have to ask anyone for money to marry a wife. He could definitely pay it all directly and would not have to worry about his father's opinion anymore.

"Sure, I have no problem!" Yan Jiefang's words surprised everyone present, because everyone thought he would put forward some conditions or bargain, but he agreed so readily. This made Yan Bugui feel that he was being calculated, but after thinking carefully, it was a good thing to earn an extra nine yuan a month, which could ease the financial pressure at home, and he would not have to add water when drinking in the future. The kind of wine that was diluted with water always made people feel uncomfortable in the stomach and intestines, and often caused diarrhea. Thinking of this, Yan Bugui's dissatisfaction gradually dissipated.

Yan Bugui nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Yu Li, "Yu Li, you just married into our Yan family, so you may not be familiar with some of the rules. From now on, you will be responsible for the housework at home, including cleaning, cooking, and washing clothes every day. Of course, you can also ask Jie Cheng to help, but he is busy with work, so you should take on more responsibilities."

After hearing this, Yu Li was somewhat reluctant, but still responded obediently: "Okay, Dad, I understand." She knew that Yan Bugui was the one in power in the family, and she could only obey.

Yan Bugui glanced at the crowd again and said, "That's it, everyone go away. Remember what I said, work hard for the future of our Yan family!"

Everyone stood up and went back to their rooms. Yan Jiecheng pulled Yu Li into the room and closed the door. He sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry, Yu Li, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. My dad is like that, he's been frugal all his life."

Yu Li smiled slightly, "It's okay, Jiecheng, we are husband and wife, we should support each other. I will try my best to do the housework, don't worry." Yan Jiecheng hugged Yu Li with emotion, "Thank you, Yu Li. I will definitely work hard to make our lives better and better. When the time comes, we will save some money and move out..."

As the night deepened, the lights in the Yan family gradually went out. Under Yan Bugui's planning, this small family welcomed a new day.

----------------------------

The next morning came as expected. Li Dongyu sat quietly at home, patiently waiting for the arrival of Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang. It was still early, just after six o'clock, and Li Dongyu gently opened the door to welcome them. However, when he opened the door, he was surprised to find that the three young men were already standing outside the door. They were standing straight and focused, and it was obvious that they had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Li Dongyu couldn't help but feel relieved. These three young people seemed smart and knew how to act. After all, facing the attractive conditions given by Li Dongyu, anyone with a clear mind would know how to make a choice. If someone didn't accept such an opportunity, it would be really stupid!

When the three young men saw that it was Li Dongyu who opened the door, they all smiled and shouted in unison: "Brother Dongyu, good morning!"

Hearing their greetings, Li Dongyu responded with a smile: "Haha... Good morning to you too! Since you are here, please come in!"

As he spoke, Li Dongyu opened the door and let them in. After they came in, he took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liu Guangtian, saying, "Guangtian, this is five yuan. Go to the breakfast stand outside and buy seven breakfasts. Remember to buy more meat buns. When you come back, we will talk in detail while eating breakfast."

Looking at the sumptuous breakfast in front of them, the three of them were full of surprise and excitement, as if they saw new hope in life. They couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts that this choice was indeed the right one! It was great to be able to enjoy such delicious food before officially starting work! Especially the steaming and fragrant meat buns, which made people salivate, as if to indicate that the future life will be full of light and beauty.

Liu Guangtian was the first to come to his senses. He excitedly took the five yuan from Li Dongyu and ran out the door impatiently to buy more breakfast. His steps were brisk and his face was filled with a satisfied smile, as if he had seen the bright future.
