Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Xu Damao had always disliked Yi Zhonghai and wanted to use this incident to cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai. But Xu Wude had already spoken, so even if Xu Damao was upset, he could only answer reluctantly, "Got it!"

Xu Wude saw what Xu Damao was thinking, and then said, "We don't need to spread this. Someone will spread it faster. We just need to watch the fun."

Xu Damao thought about it, and reacted instantly. He smiled and gave Xu Wude a thumbs up, saying, "Dad, you are still better!" Then he asked, "Dad, who spread the news about Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu?!"

Xu Wude thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. But one thing is certain. Yi Zhonghai has offended someone. Otherwise, others would not have schemed against him like this. Even if Yi Zhonghai doesn't die this time, he will suffer a heavy loss!"

In a blink of an eye, it was noon and school was over. As soon as Yan Jiekuang walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard the neighbors next door talking about Yi Zhonghai. Yan Jiekuang thought to himself: "Ding San is really awesome! I must reward him well later."

"Mom!" Yan Jiekuang walked into the courtyard and saw his mother planting vegetables. He walked over with a smile and asked, "Mom, what are you planting?!"

The third aunt replied, "What vegetables can we grow now? Just some greens and the like. The rice is ready. It's warming in the pot! Go get it yourself!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang responded and asked, "Mom, have you and Jie Di eaten?!"

The third aunt replied, "We have all eaten. Please leave us alone."

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang responded, walked into his kitchen, took out a steamed bun, and sat at the door to eat it.

Yan Jiekuang was halfway through his meal when Yan Jiedi came to his side in a bounding manner. Yan Jiekuang asked, "Little sister, have you finished your meal?!"

Yan Jiedi nodded heavily and replied, "It's passed."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and handed some more steamed bread to Yan Jiedi, saying, "Since you have eaten, eat some more with your third brother."

Yan Jie Di shook her head and said, "Third brother, you must have a full stomach before you can study well."

"Jie Di is so good!" Yan Jie Kuang reached out and rubbed Yan Jie Di's head. Just as he was about to say something else, the voice of the postman Xiao Ma rang out: "Does Yan Jie Cheng live here?!"

The third aunt stood up and said, "Xiao Ma, what do you want to talk to our Jie Cheng about?!"

Xiao Ma said, "Here is the letter from your family. Please sign for it."

The third aunt took the letter, looked at the words on the envelope, and said, "Xiao Ma, thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Xiao Ma replied, and turned to leave the courtyard. Yan Jiekuang looked at Xiao Ma's back and asked, "Mom, are you familiar with him?!"

The third aunt replied, "He lives in the courtyard at the entrance of the alley. He delivers all the letters and newspapers for our area. How could he not be familiar with him?!"

Yan Jiekuang followed the third aunt into the house and asked, "Mom, do you usually see any letters from Shazhu?!"

The third aunt thought about it carefully and said, "It seems not." Then she asked, "Why did you think of asking this?!"

"Nothing?! Just asking casually." Yan Jiekuang replied and stuffed the remaining steamed bread in his hand into his mouth.

The third aunt put the letter away, looked at Yan Jiekuang, and asked, "Jiekuang, where did you get the money and ticket to buy buns for Jie Di this morning?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I saved the money by selling the garbage I picked up." Then he asked, "What's the matter?!"

The third aunt asked: "How much did you earn in total?!"

Yan Jiekuang immediately understood what his mother meant and said, "Mom, you don't want me to give you the money, do you?!"

The third aunt said, "You are young. It is not safe to keep the money with you. Give it to me and I will keep it for you."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and asked, "Mom, if I give you the money and tickets to keep, do I have to pay a storage fee?!"

The third aunt smiled and replied, "Of course. But you are my son, so I will give you a discount."

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Forget it! I will take care of it myself, so you don't have to worry about it."

Yan Jiekuang has the money and notes in his hand thanks to his father in another life. His father is a collector. He likes to collect coins and notes. Although the money is not too much, and some notes have not yet reached the issuance age, but for Yan Jiekuang, these are enough for now.

The third aunt rolled her eyes at Yan Jiekuang and said, "I'm your mother! How can I cheat you?!"

Yan Jiekuang answered very straightforwardly: "It's hard to say." Then he asked: "Mom, when I just came back, people at the door were talking about an old man. What's going on?!"

The third aunt looked outside and said, "It's an adult matter. You kids shouldn't get involved." Then she casually said, "Who did Yi Zhonghai offend this time? Anyway, Yi Zhonghai is in big trouble this time."

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law Liu Guiying was at the deaf old lady's house in the backyard, crying to the deaf old lady about the things that were circulating about Yi Zhonghai. After listening to Liu Guiying's narration, the deaf old lady frowned and asked, "Guying, has Zhonghai offended anyone recently?!"

Liu Guiying replied: "Didn't you hear him say that?!"

The deaf old lady said, "Why did the rumor spread at this time instead of earlier? And it's about Zhong Hai and Jia's daughter-in-law having an affair. Haven't you ever thought about the reason? When Qin Huairu married into this courtyard, I knew this woman was not simple. I didn't expect she was really not simple."

Liu Guiying asked: "Old lady, is it true that our Lao Yi is related to Qin Huairu?!"

The deaf old lady said: "Although there is no smoke without fire. But in this matter, whether it is true or false, you must stand on Zhonghai's side!"

Liu Guiying knew that she couldn't have a child and felt guilty towards Yi Zhonghai. Without the deaf old lady telling her, Liu Guiying knew what to do. So Liu Guiying said without thinking: "Old lady, don't worry! I believe Zhonghai will not do such a thing!"

The deaf old lady said, "When Zhonghai comes back, ask him to come to my place." Then the deaf old lady counseled Liu Guiying a few more times and finally calmed Liu Guiying down.

A little after noon, Liu Guiying returned home with a bowl. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Yi Zhonghai lying on the bed. Liu Guiying hurriedly put the bowl on the table, walked to the bedside in two steps, and asked, "Old Yi, are you okay?!"

Yi Zhonghai replied with an unhappy look on his face: "It's okay!"

"I'm glad you're okay!" Liu Guiying muttered, walked to the chair at the end of the bed and sat down, tears streaming down her face. Yi Zhonghai, who was very angry, heard Liu Guiying crying, and he couldn't suppress his anger any more. He suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted, "Why are you crying?! What's there to cry about?! I'm not dead?!" Then Yi Zhonghai got off the bed and walked out angrily.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Yi Zhonghai soon walked to the door of the deaf old lady's house and knocked on the door.

The deaf old lady shouted, "The door is not locked! Come in!"

Yi Zhonghai pushed the door open and walked in, calling out, "Old lady!"

The deaf old lady glanced at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?!"

Yi Zhonghai said: "I felt a little uncomfortable today, so I asked for leave and came back early."

The deaf old lady said, "You are not feeling unwell physically. I'm afraid you are feeling unwell mentally?!" Then she asked, "There is no one else here. Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Qin Huairu?!"

Yi Zhonghai replied: "Old lady, these are all rumors. Qin Huairu is my apprentice's wife. How can I have any relationship with her?!"
