Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Yan Jiefang said, "It's not easy to find out. I can just ask my friends." Then he asked, "Now that we know the answer, what should we do next?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, “Then go to the neighborhood office where she lives and ask them to mediate. If they can’t handle it, go to Yu Li’s workplace.” Yan Jiekuang thought of Yan Xuebing and said, “I heard from Yan Jiecheng that Yan Xuebing is not his son. I wonder who cheated on him?!”

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Others don't know about this. But I know it very clearly."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang immediately showed a curious expression on their faces. He Yuzhu lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and then said, "When I was helping Director Li of our factory to prepare banquets, I met Yu Li and a man coming out of the guesthouse twice. Later I asked around and found out that the man was Zhang Bin, the deputy director of the department store in Wangfujing."

Yan Jiekuang said: "I really didn't realize, Brother Zhuzi, you know so much?!"

"Hehe!" He Yuzhu laughed foolishly and said, "It's just that when I help people prepare banquets, I listen to those aunties and sisters talk a lot, so I know a little bit."

Yan Jiefang asked: "Jie Kuang, what do you want to do?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Nowadays, adultery is not dealt with as strictly as in previous years. But it is not a problem to make Zhang Bin fall flat on his face."

"Xuehong, why are you here?!" Yan Jiefang saw Yan Xuehong walking in from outside.

Yan Xuehong said: "Uncle San, can you really help me get living expenses from my mother?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "Of course!" Then he asked, "Why?! You don't believe that your uncle can help you get living expenses?!"

Yan Xuehong shook his head and said, "I believe in Uncle San."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Xuehong, your current task is to study. You don't have to worry about anything else. With our two uncles here, we will never let you suffer any loss."

He Yuzhu said: "Daya, you don't have to believe what others say. But what your third uncle said is absolutely true."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Daya, go play with your brothers and sisters! If you don't want to play with them, go back to your room and rest or read a book. Be more comfortable at home. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Oh!" Yan Xuehong responded, and said, "Then I'll go back to my room and read."

After Yan Xuehong left, He Yuzhu asked, "Jie Kuang, are you really planning to keep this girl?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "This girl is not bad. At least for now, she doesn't have the bad habits of her father and mother."

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the Yan family started to feast. At the Yu family, Yu Dabao returned home dragging a cart. Yu's mother heard the noise and ran out of the house. Seeing Yu Dabao dragging a lot of things behind him, she asked, "Dabao, what are you doing?!"

Yu Dabao replied: "I was kicked out."

Yu's father came out of the house and asked, "Why are you alone? Where are your wife and children?!"

Yu Dabao replied, "She took her child back to her parents' home to live for a few days." Then he asked, "Where's Yu Li?!"

Yu's mother asked, "Why are you asking her?!"

Yu Dabao said, "Of course I want her to return my house to me?! I have called Yan Jiecheng my brother-in-law for so many years. I didn't expect this guy to be so cruel. He actually wanted to take back the house he gave me?!"

Father Yu glared at Mother Yu and said, "It's all because of you, you spendthrift woman! You used the family money to subsidize your brothers. Now our son has lost his house. I tell you, you go back to your mother's house tomorrow to ask for money! If they don't give it to you, I will bring people to rob their house the day after tomorrow. If our family doesn't have a good life, they won't have an easy life either."

Yu's mother said, "You also know the situation of my two brothers. Even if you force them to death, they still can't pay so much money!"

Yu Dabao said, "Mom, it's easy if my uncles can't come up with the money. They have a large family, so they can sell blood! If no one has blood, just draw some. If they sell a few more times, won't they have it?!"

After hearing what Yu Dabao said, Yu's father's eyes lit up and said, "I'll call a few people later. I'll go with you tomorrow morning."

Yu Dabao asked, "Dad, where should I put all these furniture?!"

Yu's father asked, "Did you bring all the things from your house?!"

Yu Dabao replied: "No! My wife asked her family to help pull some of the money back. We will move it to the new house when we have one. My wife said, give me one month. If I can't find a house in one month, she will divorce me."

"What?!" Yu's mother jumped up immediately when she heard the word "divorce" and said, "We spent a lot of money to marry her. She just wants a divorce?!"

Yu Dabao said: "Don't you know my wife's temper?! Do you think she is afraid of you?!"

Father Yu sighed, said nothing more, and helped his son unload the car.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the banquet was over. Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui saw off all the guests. As they watched the jeep drive out of the alley and were about to return to the courtyard, Yan Bugui came out and asked, "Have you seen Jie Di?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "Dad, Jie Di ran away with her husband a long time ago. She said she would come back tomorrow to get her dowry."

Yan Bugui was immediately amused and said, "She can really do this."

After returning home, Yan Jiekuang asked Su Zihui to take care of the children while he helped clean up the house. After Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang cleaned up the main room and kitchen, Yan Jiekuang took two bottles of wine and a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and went to the middle courtyard.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Yan Jiekuang walked to the door of He Yuzhu's house and knocked on the door.

He Yuzhu heard a knock on the door and shouted, "Come in! The door is not locked!"

Yan Jiekuang pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Brother Zhuzi, thank you for your hard work today!" After that, Yan Jiekuang put the cigarettes and wine on the table, and then took out three big unity banknotes from his pocket.

He Yuzhu said, "You are the most generous person in our courtyard. I won't be polite about these things." After that, He Yuzhu put the money into his pocket, put away the cigarettes and alcohol, and said, "Jie Kuang, can you help me get some things in a few days?!"

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Brother Zhuzi, what do you want?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Give me some of all kinds of shark fin, sea cucumber, abalone and tripe."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Brother Zhuzi, I can get these things. But they are not cheap."

He Yuzhu said: "I know the price is not cheap. But who made me promise others?!"

Yan Jiekuang scratched his head and said, "Okay! When do you want it? I can tell them then."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "On the eighth day of the first lunar month, just bring the things to me."

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and said, "Well, I'll go talk to them tomorrow and try to get your things over on the fifth day of the New Year."

"Okay!" He Yuzhu responded, and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Brother Zhuzi, don't worry! I will definitely help you get things done properly. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Goodbye!" He Yuzhu saw Yan Jiekuang out the door, then laughed and muttered, "Boss, you can't say anything to me now!"
