Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Yan Jiecheng suffered a lot last night and was holding a grudge against his brother and sister-in-law. Xu Damao's instigation immediately ignited the flames of revenge.

Without saying another word, he walked straight home.

Looking at the resolute and efficient Yan Jiecheng, Xu Damao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. There would be a good show to watch when he came back in the evening.

Gently pushing open the door, Yan Jiecheng saw that the room was quiet and the other family members were sleeping soundly, which further strengthened his belief.

If I don't do something during this great opportunity, I would be really sorry for the injustice I have suffered.

After closing the door, Yan Jiecheng tiptoed to his father's bed and reached for the coat on the bedside table.

Yan Jiecheng remembered that the last remaining egg was in his coat pocket, but when he searched carefully, he found it was empty.

The child in the family had a history of theft, so it seemed that Yan Bugui had taken precautions in advance and moved the eggs away.

Yan Jiecheng felt frustrated having gained nothing. He subconsciously clenched his fist and was about to hit the bed, but when he thought of his father sleeping on the bed, he immediately lost his temper and dared not move.

Yan Jiecheng was about to leave after not finding what he wanted when Yan Bugui, who was lying on the bed, suddenly groaned.

Yan Jiecheng thought his father had woken up and was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

I mechanically turned my head to look at the bed and found that Yan Bugui had just turned over and still had no intention of waking up. I breathed a sigh of relief.

As Yan Bugui turned over in bed, the pillow under his head was pressed up slightly.

Looking along the raised pillow, Yan Jiecheng suddenly discovered that the egg was underneath.

It turned out that in order to prevent the eggs from being stolen, Yan Bugui hid them directly beside himself.

Yan Jiecheng's breathing was a little heavy. He swallowed, calmed himself down, and resolutely moved forward, carefully taking the egg out from under the pillow.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. We have already taken risks to come here. It would be a great loss if we get nothing.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly. After Yan Jiecheng finished his work, Yan Bugui was still snoring soundly and sleeping peacefully, and he had no idea that the things he was guarding had disappeared.

The task was accomplished. Yan Jiecheng smiled slightly, quickly evacuated, found a corner in the house, peeled the eggshell, and swallowed the egg whole.

After eating the eggs, Yan Jiecheng poured a glass of water, rinsed his mouth carefully to eliminate the evidence, and finally did not forget to sprinkle some crushed egg shells on the bedsides of his three younger brothers and sisters.

After finishing everything, Yan Jiecheng, feeling satisfied, slipped back to his bed, covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep.

……

In March, the city is still cold.

The Yan family was short of food, and in order to avoid consuming calories, Yan Bugui and his family stayed in the house and slept most of the time.

Sleeping not only saves energy, but also makes you less likely to feel hungry after falling asleep.

Therefore, on weekends when they don't have to go to work, the Yan family members all wake up very late.

I wish I could sleep until noon and have breakfast and lunch together so that I have some left over for a meal.

But no matter how much he thought about it, when the sun gradually rose, his stomach was empty and he was so hungry that Yan Bugui had to get up and prepare some corn porridge to fill his stomach.

After waking up, Yan Bugui put on his coat, but instead of getting out of bed, he reached under the pillow.

The last egg left yesterday is hidden under the pillow. Yan Bugui should be able to guard it personally so nothing will go wrong.

However, Yan Bugui searched for a long time but still couldn't find any trace of the egg. Anxiously, he lifted up the pillow and leaned over the bed to check carefully.

When he couldn't find it on the bed, he crawled under the bed and searched carefully.

However, after searching every corner of the bed, he couldn't find the egg.

At this point, Yan Bugui finally came to his senses. He was immediately furious and picked up the feather duster in the house and rushed out.

"How dare you steal my eggs, you little bastard!"

Yan Bugui came to the children's room, scolded them angrily, picked up a feather duster and hit the quilt without caring about anything.

The sudden noise woke the children up. They hurriedly got up and looked at their father in panic.

"Dad, what's wrong? What happened?"

Yan Jiefang was about to ask, but was greeted with a solid whip from Yan Bugui.

"You little bastard, you stole something and brought it into your own home.

Those eggs were left for your mother, how dare you steal them?!"

Yan Bugui stepped forward, grabbed Yan Jiefang's ears and roared loudly.

After teaching Yan Jiefang a lesson for speaking out, Yan Bugui was still not satisfied. He slapped the four children several times in succession and drove them to the hall for interrogation.

"Tell me the truth, who stole the eggs?!

Stand up for me! "

Faced with their father's sudden anger, the children looked confused.

Yan Jiecheng cried out in injustice, saying, "Dad, I didn't even see any eggs yesterday, what does this have to do with me?"

"It's none of my business. I just woke up and I don't know anything."

The remaining three children were also busy defending themselves.

“Okay, okay, okay.

Everyone said they didn’t know.

So tell me, can eggs grow legs and run away?!"

Yan Bugui waved a feather duster, his eyes as sharp as lightning, and examined the behavior of the four children sternly, trying to find flaws in them.

“The eggs were fine when I went to bed last night, but they were gone when I woke up this morning.

It must have been stolen by one or more of you.

Confession is lenient, resistance is strict.

Tell the truth, or you will all have nothing to eat today."

When the four children heard Yan Bugui's threat, their faces changed drastically.

Yan Jiefang frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed at his elder brother, saying, "Yan Jiecheng didn't get to eat eggs last night. He must have had evil intentions and stole the eggs."

Yan Jiefang didn't know who stole the eggs, but he knew someone had to take the blame.

Last night, Yan Jiecheng and the other three children almost got into a fight over eggs.

Now that this has happened, Yan Jiefang will of course put the blame on his eldest brother.

"Yes, it must have been done by Yan Jiecheng."

Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi paused for a moment and then immediately spoke in agreement.

Big brother, don't blame them, your younger brothers and sisters, for being cruel. If you want to blame someone, blame them for not standing on the same page yesterday.

"Yan Jiecheng?!"

Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and called out his eldest son's name, obviously agreeing with this statement.

"Dad, wait a minute, please wait a moment.

There is no evidence yet, you can't convict me based on their one-sided words.

Last night, they teamed up to harm me.

I don’t know for sure, they might use the same old tricks again to harm me.”

Yan Jiecheng looked at his three younger brothers and sisters and defended himself seriously.

"It is also possible that you hold a grudge and are plotting revenge against them."

Yan Bugui sneered and suggested another possibility.

However, as soon as he said this, Yan Bugui's suspicion of Yan Jiecheng was slightly reduced.

Because Yan Jiecheng said something right: everything must be based on evidence, and everything is possible without evidence.
