Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Nevertheless, Yan Fugui's words did not actually convince Zhang Juan to make the decision to divorce.

After all, he was living with Yan Jiecheng, not with Yan Fugui.

If you don't like Yan Fugui as a person, as long as your husband Yan Jiecheng is okay, you can just have less contact with Yan Fugui in the future.

What truly made Zhang Juan decide to divorce was the change in Yan Jiecheng's expression.

When Zhang Juan first heard the word "divorce," she could clearly sense a hint of panic in Yan Jiecheng's eyes.

Bianqie sensed that Yan Jiecheng was about to bow down to him.

As Yan Fugui advised him to separate rather than reconcile, the panic and lingering fear in Yan Jiecheng's eyes were slowly replaced by hesitation, then by attraction, and finally by determination. There was no sign of him bowing down to him on his face.

Even if Zhang Juan was naive, she knew that her husband had been persuaded by Yan Fugui.

Of course, the root of the problem is that Yan Jiecheng is obsessed with money and wants to make a lot of money from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, no matter how much Yan Fugui tries to persuade him to break up rather than reconcile, he will not be able to convince him.

Yan Jiecheng was persuaded by Yan Fugui to divorce her today for money, and even if they didn't divorce today, he might divorce her again for money someday.

From that moment on, Zhang Juan made up her mind to divorce Yan Jiecheng and get rid of the Yan family.

Just as Zhang Juan was hesitating about how to express her decision, Yan Jiecheng blurted out, "Give me all the family savings..."

"I'll agree to divorce you and give you our house in the south of the city..."

“We’ll each take one of the two kids…”

Both children were raised by Zhang Juan, and given that the Yan family's stinginess was ingrained in their very being, she didn't want her future children to be as stingy as the Yan family, so she immediately refused.

"I can give you all the money, but you have to give me both children..."

"Didn't your father just say that when you make a lot of money in the future, he'll get you a new wife?"

"It's not easy to find a wife if you have a child with you."

Yan Jiecheng was immediately interested upon hearing this.

Although the two children were his newborns, he didn't spend much time with them due to various reasons, which resulted in the two children not being very close to him.

In order to marry a better wife in the future, giving both children to the other party is indeed a good choice.

Just as Yan Jiecheng was about to nod in agreement, Yan Fugui, in high spirits, suddenly spoke up: "Boss..."

"If you don't have time to take care of the child, your mother and I can help..."

"Even if you marry a new wife in the future, you can still leave the children with us..."

“Your mother usually has nothing to do, and she misses her grandson, so she has to keep one child.”

Seeing that Yan Fugui had resolved his worries, the excited expression on Yan Jiecheng's face vanished instantly. Looking at Zhang Juan, he answered decisively, "One for each of the two children... there is no room for negotiation."

A look of pain flashed across Zhang Juan's face; she still didn't want to leave her son in the Yan family.

She racked her brains trying to find a way out of the predicament, hoping to use something to bring her son back.

In the end, she actually came up with an idea.

Yan Jiecheng is obsessed with money today, isn't he? Since he likes money so much, then I'll use money to get my son back and keep both of my sons by my side.

Yan Fugui, that troublemaker, is shrewd and calculating. As long as I offer enough money, he will definitely agree.

He immediately turned to Yan Jiecheng and said, "All the savings in the family add up to only 1,300 yuan..."

"I'll try to raise two thousand yuan for you, and both sons will stay with me..."

“You’ll marry a new wife again in the future, so you won’t have to worry about not having children…” “Then you can take two thousand yuan to do business with Xu Damao, and you’ll soon be able to save up ten thousand yuan to marry a new wife.”

Yan Jiecheng was moved again.

It takes three to four years for an investment of one thousand yuan to turn into ten thousand yuan.

However, if you invest 2,000 yuan, it will turn into 10,000 yuan in just over two years, allowing you to marry a new wife more than a year earlier.

With money, I could easily have three or four children in a row.

He was about to nod instinctively, but was once again rejected by the shrewd and calculating Yan Fugui.

He seemed to sense Zhang Juan's urgency to have two children and decided to ask for an exorbitant amount of money for his son.

As the deputy front-of-house manager of the Chengnan branch of Dongjun Hotel, Zhang Juan had long since developed a keen eye and instantly saw through Yan Fugui's intention to make exorbitant demands.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and all the goodwill he had for the Yan family vanished.

I never expected Yan Fugui to be so shameless, even using his own grandson as a pawn in his schemes for money.

However, Zhang Juan was not the kind of person who would passively accept whatever fate befall him and let Yan Fugui scheme against her.

Half a minute later, the reply was: "Two thousand five hundred yuan..."

"This is all the money I can raise; that's all I have left."

“If you’re still not willing, then you can raise a son if you want. It will save me the trouble of being a mother. I can just pretend that I only gave birth to one son in my life.”

Seeing that Zhang Juan was speaking with a serious expression, not like she was joking, Yan Fugui was also worried that the cooked verification documents would fly away from his mouth.

Even without the eldest son's grandson, I still have the second son's family.

Besides, the eldest son will have other grandchildren after he marries a new wife.

Today, it's already a good deal to get over a thousand yuan back by trading a neglected grandson.

He immediately nodded to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng was overjoyed. He never expected that after the divorce, he would not only not have to support his son, but would also receive an extra thousand yuan. This was a stroke of good luck that even a pie falling from the sky wouldn't happen to him. He was extremely excited.

After receiving Yan Fugui's signal, he immediately said to Zhang Juan, "As long as you give me two thousand five hundred yuan, we'll get a divorce right away..."

"The two children and the house in the south of the city will also belong to you."

Zhang Juan gritted her teeth and replied, "Okay..."

"I promise you..."

"I'll send you the money in three days, and then we can go directly to the neighborhood committee to process the divorce."

"There's no need for dinner tonight. I'm sure you don't want me to eat here either."

After saying that, he looked at his two sons who were still in shock and said, "Eldest son... Second son..."

"Let's go home for the New Year. Mom will make stewed chicken and mutton for you..."

"You'll definitely love the mutton you had at Dongjun Restaurant..."

The two children didn't care about anything else. As soon as they heard there was food, they ran to Zhang Juan's side, took her hands, and walked out of the Yan family's house without any intention of staying.

Yan Fugui was usually too stingy, leaving a bad impression on his two sons. Although the two children didn't have as many cunning thoughts as adults, they understood one principle perfectly: whoever treated them well, they would reciprocate in kind. (End of Chapter)
