Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

After leaving the steel mill, the deaf old lady glanced at Liu Guiying and comforted her, "Don't worry! Zhonghai will be fine. I will persuade Sha Zhu again tonight, and he will probably be released tomorrow. But after this incident, Sha Zhu will be alienated from your family. He will not help you and your wife in your old age. You have to make other plans."

Liu Guiying sighed silently and said, "This is all my fault! If I hadn't hurt myself back then and hadn't given birth to a son or daughter for the Yi family, Zhonghai wouldn't be like this."

The deaf old lady said, "The past is the past. There is nothing to think about. Let's think about the future!"

There was no reception at the factory today, and He Yuzhu left the steel mill a little after 2 p.m. However, He Yuzhu did not rush back to the courtyard, but somehow came to the gate of Red Star Primary School. Not long after, Yan Jiekuang came out of the school carrying his schoolbag.

"Jie Kuang!" He Yuzhu called Yan Jie Kuang as he had just separated from his classmates.

Yan Jiekuang saw He Yuzhu and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhuzi, you didn't come here just to see me, did you?!"

He Yuzhu said: "Jie Kuang, are you interested in chatting with me?!"

Yan Jiekuang tilted his head to look at He Yuzhu and asked, "Are you in a bad mood today?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I guess so!"

"Okay! For the sake of our neighbors, I'll chat with you!" After that, Yan Jiekuang brought He Yuzhu to a secluded place, asked He Yuzhu to sit down on the side of the road, and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?!"

He Yuzhu said: "I went to the post office to check today. That bastard Yi Zhonghai really swallowed the living expenses my father sent to me and Yushui."

Yan Jiekuang asked: "How do you want to deal with this matter?!"

He Yuzhu was immediately stumped by the question. After hesitating for a few seconds, He Yuzhu said, "It's because I don't know how to deal with it. That's why I want to hear your opinion."

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Do you trust me so much?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and rubbed Yan Jiekuang's head, saying, "If it weren't for what you said, I would still be kept in the dark. Maybe in a few years it will really be like what you said, being sold and still helping others count money and saying good things about them. So, brother Zhuzi, I believe in you."

Yan Jiekuang looked at He Yuzhu with a smile and said, "In fact, you are the unlucky guy in our courtyard. The deaf old lady took a fancy to you and wanted you to help her with her old age, so she teamed up with Yi Zhonghai to plot against your father. You and Yushui went to look for your father, but were blocked at the door. That's because Yi Zhonghai sent a telegram to the White Widow in advance. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself. The White Widow's cousin works in the same workshop as Yi Zhonghai. I think with your connections in the steel rolling mill, you will be able to find this person soon."

He Yuzhu said, "I asked you to give me some advice, why did you mention the White Widow?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "If you want to give advice, you should also sort out the matter clearly, right?!"

"Okay! You make sense!" He Yuzhu agreed helplessly.

Yan Jiekuang said: "I guess you have already asked other people before you came to me. In fact, you already have the answer in your heart. You just can't find a reason to let Yi Zhonghai go."

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "You are right."

He Yuzhu said, "Since you want to let Yi Zhonghai off this time, then things are simple. Make him pay. Make him lose everything. Now we are cracking down hard. Although I don't know how much money he has taken from you, I estimate that it will not be small. If he is sent to the police, the money will be enough for Yi Zhonghai to eat peanuts. Since you don't plan to send Yi Zhonghai to the police station, then go back and discuss a compensation amount with He Yushui."

He Yuzhu carefully considered Yan Jiekuang's words and said, "I understand. I will discuss this with Yushui when I get back."

Yan Jiekuang reminded him, "Brother Zhuzi, while Yi Zhonghai has no energy to take care of your affairs during this period, you should marry your wife as soon as possible."

Hearing Yan Jiekuang's words, Liu Lan's figure appeared in He Yuzhu's mind. He smiled and said, "I'll go find a matchmaker to propose marriage." After that, He Yuzhu ran away.

Looking at He Yuzhu's back, Yan Jiekuang muttered, "He really has no humanity for the opposite sex. Next time I will never give advice to this bastard." Then Yan Jiekuang thought of Yi Zhonghai's bad luck this time, and a smug look appeared on his face. He thought to himself, "From now on, whether the courtyard is in chaos or not, I, Yan Jiekuang, have the final say!"

"Dad, where have you been?! Why are you in such a mess?" Yan Jiekuang just walked to the entrance of the alley and met Yan Bugui who was coming back from fishing. Yan Bugui said, "I had bad luck today. I caught a big fish. In the end, I didn't catch the fish, and I almost became the son-in-law of the Dragon King."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and joked: "Dad, you don't look that good, but you think beautifully. Even the Dragon King may not be attracted to you with your appearance!"

"You little bastard, are you looking for a beating?!" Yan Bugui raised his hand as if he was going to hit Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang stepped aside and said, "Dad, just talk! Don't use force!"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes at Yan Jiekuang in anger and said, "What a misfortune for our family! How could they give birth to a living devil like you!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Dad, you are very capable to have given birth to a child like me. You are lucky today. I just got some brown sugar and ginger. Let my mom make you a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold."

Yan Bugui asked: "Where did you get the brown sugar?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Of course I bought it. Or did I steal it? Even if I stole it, I would have to find a place to steal it."

Yan Bugui said cheerfully: "Okay! I am taking advantage of you today."

Soon Yan Bugui and Yan Jiekuang returned home. Yan Bugui went to the inner room to change clothes. Yan Jiekuang pretended to take out a bag of brown sugar and a piece of ginger from his schoolbag and handed them to his mother. When the third aunt saw the things, her eyes lit up immediately. Brown sugar is a rare thing these days. What's more, the bag of brown sugar Yan Jiekuang took out weighed at least two kilograms.

The third aunt asked with a smile: "Jie Kuang, where did you get this thing?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I bought the brown sugar, and I picked up the ginger on the way back. I originally wanted to secretly soak the brown sugar in water for Jiedi to drink. Now it's a bargain for my father. Mom, go make some ginger tea for my father. Let him sweat after drinking it. If he gets sick, it will be a waste."

"Hey! I'll cook it right away!" After saying that, the third aunt took the things and went to the kitchen.

"Third brother!" At this moment, Yan Jie Di ran to Yan Jie Kuang. Yan Jie Kuang asked with a smile: "Jie Di, have you been good at home today?!"

Yan Jiedi replied: "I am very well behaved at home!"

Yan Jiekuang took out two White Rabbit candies from his pocket and handed them to Yan Jiedi, saying, "This is a reward from your third brother."

"Thank you, Third Brother!" Yan Jiedi took the candy, peeled one and put it in her mouth on the spot, then put the remaining one carefully into her pocket, then said hello to Yan Jiekuang and went out to play.

More than ten minutes later, the third aunt brought a bowl of ginger soup into the inner room. Not long after, the third aunt came out with an empty bowl. Yan Jiekuang asked, "Mom, have you heard about Yi Zhonghai's incident?!"

The third aunt said, "I heard about it! I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be so evil." Then she asked, "How did you know about this?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "I heard it from my neighbors when I got home from school."

The third aunt said, "Liu Guiying took the deaf old lady out today. I guess the deaf old lady went to make some connections. Nine times out of ten, Yi Zhonghai will be fine this time."
