Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiekuang said: "Go and call your father out!"

"Oh!" Yan Xuedong responded and ran into the courtyard. Not long after, Yan Jiefang brought Yan Xuedong out of the courtyard. Yan Jiekuang said, "Second brother, what are you doing standing there like an idiot? Come over and give me a hand!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiefang responded, and immediately bent his neck and moved the refrigerator and washing machine off the tricycle. At this time, the neighbors heard the noise and gathered around.

"Jie Kuang, what are you giving your second brother again?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Everyone knows about our family's past. When my second sister-in-law came into our family, our family treated her badly. But we shouldn't just bully others because they are easy to bully. So my father said that now that our family is doing better, it's time to give my second sister-in-law some compensation."

When Yang Xuemei walked to the gate of the courtyard and heard what Yan Jiekuang said, tears instantly flowed down her face. Yan Jiefang joined the team in Zuojiazhuang. Because the third aunt's maiden family was in Zuojiazhuang, the people in Zuojiazhuang knew Yan Bugui to some extent. When Yang Xuemei and Yan Jiefang were dating, Yang Xuemei's parents didn't say anything, but there were a lot of gossips in the village. Yang Xuemei married Yan Jiefang under pressure. After getting married, Yang Xuemei entered the Yan family and found that the situation of the Yan family was different from what was circulated outside.

But the Yan family was too stingy to be trusted, and it was very difficult to change other people's views. Every time Yang Xuemei went back to her parents' home, her family didn't say anything, but the neighbors' gossips were heard by Yang Xuemei. Now Yan Jiekuang actually made things clear in front of the neighbors. The news spread to Zuojiazhuang. Yang Xuemei would not have to listen to those bad gossips when she went back to her parents' home in the future.

"Jie Kuang, this big refrigerator and washing machine must cost a lot of money, right?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Of course! Not counting the tickets, this double-door refrigerator costs 1260 yuan, and the double-tub washing machine costs 357 yuan. Together, it's just under yuan."

"Jie Kuang, is your father Yan Laokou really willing to do this?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied with a smile: "Why would I be reluctant?! My father has been stingy all his life, but in the end, isn't the money for us three sons?! It will be given sooner or later, so it's better to give it sooner. We can still remember his kindness. Don't you think this makes sense?!"

After hearing what Yan Jiekuang said, the neighbors didn't know what to say. They all showed envy on their faces.

After Yang Xuemei instructed Wobo to put away the refrigerator and washing machine, she came out and called out, "Jie Kuang! Come in and rest for a while!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang responded, gave the money to Wobo, and after sending Wobo away, he followed Yang Xuemei into the gate of the courtyard.

Yan Jiefang invited Yan Jiekuang to come in and sit down, and asked, "Jiekuang, tell me the truth! Did our father really ask you to buy this refrigerator and washing machine?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Even if our father wants to buy them, he needs to have that much money. I got these through my connections. You can use them without worry. If they break, I'll give you new ones. But we can only talk about this at home, and never tell anyone else about it, lest others get jealous."

Yan Jiefang laughed and said, "Jie Kuang, what you said at the door just now was really well said. It will save them from saying that our father is stingy!"

Yan Jiekuang showed an awkward smile on his face and said, "Second brother, our father was indeed very stingy in the past. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taught Yan Jiecheng to be selfish. But now our father is indeed much better."

Yang Xuemei made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Yan Jiekuang, and asked, "Jiekuang, is there any share for your brother today?!"

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Second sister-in-law, did you hear any gossip?!"

Yan Jiefang said: "I don't know who spread the news that we tricked our father into dividing the family property. But Yan Jiecheng didn't get any share."

Yan Jiekuang frowned unconsciously, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Yan Jiecheng's wife is really something. She actually played tricks on us."

Yang Xuemei asked: "Jie Kuang, do you mean it was spread by our new sister-in-law?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Even if it wasn't our new sister-in-law who spread the story, it's at least related to her. Don't forget. Qin Huairu, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family who used to live in the middle courtyard, is the cousin of our new sister-in-law. We all know what kind of person Qin Huairu is."

Yang Xuemei said: "This is of no benefit to Qin Huairu. Why would she do this?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Second sister-in-law, you think too simply. Let's not talk about the relationship between Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru. You can ask my second brother what the Jia family was like in our courtyard in the past. They must be unhappy to leave our courtyard. They are unhappy, and they don't want others to be happy. They can't deal with us openly, so they can always stir up trouble in secret, right?! And the people around here like to make up stories. Some small things can be infinitely magnified in their mouths. Even a small fight can be said by them to be robbery. What else don't they dare to spread?! The best way to deal with them is to ignore them and treat them as dead. Otherwise, how tiring it would be to live?!"

You know what, Yan Jiekuang really guessed it. It was Qin Huairu who spread the lies about the Yan family. But Qin Huairu's purpose was not to help Qin Jingru, but to make the people of the Yan family disgusted with Qin Jingru. Qin Huairu is the kind of person who can't stand others living better than her. Qin Huairu was jealous of Qin Jingru's current life. But her reputation has been ruined. No one wants her. In addition to Huaihua, Xiaodang's reputation is worse than Qin Huairu's now. But Xiaodang went to the south with her boyfriend whom she had just met. As for what she is doing now, no one knows. Huaihua didn't get into college, and Qin Huairu used her "connections" to find her a job in a cardboard factory run by the street office. She had a lot of boyfriends, but when they inquired about her family situation, they all didn't want her.

After resting for a while at Yan Jiekuang's place, Yan Jiekuang said goodbye and left. After sending Yan Jiekuang out, Yang Xuemei and Yan Jiekuang quickly unpacked the refrigerator and washing machine. Looking at the beautiful and elegant refrigerator, Yang Xuemei smiled unconsciously.

Yan Jiefang asked: "Wife, what are you so happy about?!"

Yang Xuemei said: "I had good vision back then. I chose a man like you."

Yan Jiefang said, "Wife, don't worry! Our family will live better and better in the future. Get some water and wipe the refrigerator. I'll go buy some beer and soda. Wait a minute, we'll put the beer and soda on ice."

"Hey!" Yang Xuemei responded and immediately went to fetch water as Yan Jiefang instructed.

Although these old men and women in Nanluoguxiang can't walk far, they are very good at passing messages. The news that Yan Jiekuang sent a refrigerator and a washing machine to Yan Jiefang reached Qin Jingru's ears at night. Qin Jingru was so envious and jealous. Yan Jiecheng got off the car and came back. Qin Jingru saw that her man was back, and she didn't care whether Yan Jiecheng was tired or not, and she started to quarrel with Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng was able to talk to Qin Jingru in a friendly way at first, but people always get annoyed sometimes. Yan Jiecheng has been unhappy about the issue of promotion recently. Qin Jingru quarreled with him today, which made Yan Jiecheng angry. Yan Jiecheng started to fight.
