Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's reaction, Yan Bugui acted like a good guy and tried to smooth things over: "Old Yi! Don't look at my Jie Kuang's young age. But his words are true. I am more experienced than you in educating children. In addition, our family can repair radios. A repaired radio is not as good as a new one. It is inevitable that there will be some problems. If it is broken, it must be repaired. You are a fitter, you should know that if it can't be repaired, it can only be replaced. To buy new parts, not only do you need a ticket, but also a letter of introduction. Do you think these things are available to our ordinary families?! So we can only remove the good parts from the broken radio as spare parts. As for the rest, we will send them to where they came from. You asked me to make one for the deaf old lady. What if the radio has a short circuit and leaks electricity. If the old lady is injured, who will be responsible for it?! Don't let me take the blame when the time comes?!"

At this time, the third aunt came out of the house and yelled at Yi Zhonghai: "Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai! Others say you are a gentleman. I think you are a complete hypocrite. After all this time, you are waiting for us here?! You really will do anything to harm our family!"

Yi Zhonghai was attacked repeatedly by the Yan family, and he had no power to resist, so he wanted to leave here quickly. However, the Yan family was determined to deal with Yi Zhonghai. So Yan Bugui and his family did not let Yi Zhonghai go, but staged what is called Yi Zhonghai's victory and courage. First, the three aunts blocked Yi Zhonghai's way and attacked Yi Zhonghai, and then Yan Bugui followed closely. Then Yan Jiekuang was the last.

Anyway, the three mouths of the Yan family made Yi Zhonghai wish he was dead on the spot. After a while, Yan Bugui saw that it was almost done, so he winked at his wife and son, and then found an opportunity to leave the battlefield.

The residents of the courtyard saw that the Yan family had left and there was no more excitement to watch, so they all left. Yi Zhonghai returned home like a walking corpse. He sat down on the chair closest to the door. After a while, Liu Guiying came back.

Liu Guiying saw that Yi Zhonghai looked a little strange, and immediately showed a worried expression on her face, and asked: "Old Yi, what's wrong with you?!"

Yi Zhonghai came back to his senses, looked up at Liu Guiying, and asked, "Where did you go just now?!"

Liu Guiying said, "I went to deliver food to the old lady and chatted with her for a while." Then she asked, "What's the matter?! Did something happen?!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "My reputation for most of my life is completely ruined today."

Liu Guiying showed a surprised expression on her face and asked, "Old Yi, what's going on?!"

Yi Zhonghai looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He stared at Liu Guiying for a while, then finally sighed and said, "No more! There's nothing to say!"

At the same time, the Yan family was filled with laughter.

Yan Bugui said, "Old woman, you came out late. You didn't catch up with Jie Kuang's talk about Yi Zhonghai. Jie Kuang's words were really refreshing! To be honest, we have moved here for so many years, and today is a day for me, Yan Bugui, to be proud."

The third aunt smiled and said, "I've said it before, our family still has to rely on Jie Kuang."

Yan Jiekuang added, "Mom! You can't say that. The key is that the iron must be strong. The reason why Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were better than my father in the past was that they were both workers. In this day and age, workers and farmers have natural advantages. Another important point is that Yan Jiecheng has a job now. If Yan Jiecheng was still unemployed like before, my father would have to compromise with Yi Zhonghai to help Yan Jiecheng find a job. Who made our family have no connections?!"

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "The one who understands me is Jie Kuang!"

The third aunt rolled her eyes at Yan Bugui and said, "Don't be so sarcastic! If it weren't for Jie Kuang's ability, you wouldn't have resisted when Yi Zhonghai bullied you." Then the third aunt changed the subject and asked, "Jie Kuang, why do you think Yi Zhonghai is so supportive of the deaf old lady?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "It turns out that Yi Zhonghai supported the deaf old lady in order to set an example in the courtyard. He also brainwashed Sha Zhu. He sacrificed Sha Zhu in exchange for the happiness of the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai's family and the deaf old lady. But with Sha Zhu's marriage, Yi Zhonghai's status as the steward was taken away. All of Yi Zhonghai's calculations were in vain. But Yi Zhonghai was also ruthless enough to know how to stop the loss and terminate the master-disciple relationship with Jia Dongxu. Without Yi Zhonghai's blood, everyone can see clearly what kind of life the Jia family is living now. The reason why Yi Zhonghai is looking for trouble with my father today is entirely because Yi Zhonghai sees that our family is living a better and better life now. He feels unbalanced. In addition, he wants to take this opportunity to raise his so-called filial piety banner again. But he didn't expect that after all his calculations, it would end up in vain in the end."

Yan Bugui was amused and said with a smile: "It really fits the line in Dream of the Red Chamber: being too clever and calculating may lead to the loss of your beloved's life. With Yi Zhonghai's disturbance today, the brand has been completely ruined."

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Dad, why did you think of buying a radio today? No way, did you take over your colleague's business again?!"

Yan Bugui smiled and replied, "You are really wrong. This time I didn't answer the call from my colleague. I answered the call from the street office. The street office gave me 20 yuan to help the orphanage get a radio. Later, I thought that the radio I bought from the recycling station could be repaired and used for a few years without any problem, and it would not cost 20 yuan. So I proposed to the street office to give each family of military martyrs in our area a radio. We can live a good life now, but we can't forget those people, right?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and joked: "Dad, I didn't expect that you are so conscious now?!"

Yan Bugui smiled and agreed: "Is there any need to say more?!"

Yan Jiekuang then asked: "How many radios are still missing?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "We are only about seven or eight short! I will go to a few other recycling stations tomorrow and try to get everything out before the New Year."

Yan Jiekuang felt that he should support Yan Bugui in this matter, and said, "Dad, if you need help, just tell me! Don't do everything by yourself. Even though I am still young, I am definitely not worse than Yan Jiecheng when it comes to doing things."

"Hehe!" Yan Bugui was immediately amused after hearing what Yan Jiekuang said, and said, "Don't worry! I will not be polite when it comes to what you should do." Then he asked, "Why didn't I see Jiefang and Jiedi when I came back today?!"

The third aunt said, "Jiefang rode Jie Kuang's bicycle and took Jie Di to their grandmother's house."

Yan Bugui said: "It's not easy in the countryside this year. If you want to help your mother's family, just go ahead and do it!"

The third aunt walked to the window and looked outside. Yan Bugui asked, "Old lady, what are you looking at?!"

The third aunt replied: "I am looking at where the sun is rising today?!"

"Pfft!" Yan Jiekuang couldn't help laughing and said, "Mom, you're so funny! My dad used to be stingy, there was nothing he could do about it. Now our family has more ways to make money, and my dad's salary has also increased. We don't have to live a tight life anymore. Of course he will consider you! Besides, my uncles and uncles are pretty good to us. They helped us a lot in the past few years. If it weren't for my dad being so calculating, they would be scared and have less contact with us?!"
