Yan Jiekuang, alone, still dared not confront Yan Bugui. He waited outside, intending to join forces with his two older brothers.

After that, things naturally couldn't continue.

The two of them then felt a little lighter.

However, the dissatisfaction in their hearts could not be suppressed.

Upon hearing Yan Jiekuang's words, the two immediately agreed.

Yan Jiecheng said, "Jie Kuang, could you take yourselves and go teach Sha Zhu a lesson?"

"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have suffered so much."

Yan Jiekuang hesitated and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but we're too busy with things at school to deal with him."

Besides, he's a leader at the steel rolling mill; we can't afford to offend him.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng immediately became dissatisfied: "Fine, you can only bully ordinary people."

Yan Jiekuang's expression turned serious: "I'll let it go this time because you're my brother."

You can say those things to me and that's fine, but try saying them to anyone else.

Yan Jiecheng was so frightened that he quickly apologized.

Yan Jiekuang then let him off the hook: "You don't understand it as well as Brother Zhuzi. He said that in a couple of days he wants me and Guangfu to go to his house so he can celebrate with us."

Yan Jiecheng asked greedily, "Can I come along?"

"What do you think?" Yan Jiekuang said, "If it weren't for my armband, given his relationship with our family, would he have invited me to dinner?"

There was no need to even think about it; Yan Jiecheng knew it was impossible.

The relationship between the Yan family and He Yuzhu was second only to that between Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family, ranking third from the bottom among the courtyard houses.

Originally ranked fourth from the bottom, his family moved up one place after the deaf old lady went to the nursing home.

Yan Jiefang said, "It's all our dad's fault. Why did he keep running around after Uncle Yi who was plotting against Sha Zhu?"

In the end, they didn't gain any advantage and ended up getting into a lot of trouble.

He's not even as good as Second Uncle.

Second Uncle even ate at Sha Zhu's house a few times.

Next, the three brothers started complaining about Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui and the three aunties were also complaining.

The old woman sighed and said, "The children in my family are getting harder and harder to manage. You need to think of something."

Yan Bugui said, "I'm thinking of a solution. Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang are making money now. They don't hand over their wages to their families."

They complained that I had offended Sha Zhu, and that it was good enough that they hadn't caused me any trouble.

And then there's Jie Kuang; he's a minor leader now. Do you think I can afford to offend him?

The old woman sighed again: "What can we do? They don't contribute any money to the family, yet they still want to eat at our house. Our family has lost a lot of money this month."

Yan Bugui said angrily, "It's all Sha Zhu's fault. He would have been so much better if he had just listened to everyone. He just had to do things his own way."

My biggest wish right now is to get the kids in the family together and give Sha Zhu a good beating.

The family's children came in.

"Mom, is dinner ready?"

"Before we could, your dad got so upset by Sha Zhu that he wasn't feeling well..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Jiefang interrupted her.

"Mom, are you trying to use us as pawns?"

“How can this be considered using you as pawns?” the third aunt said excitedly. “Your father and I were bullied, and you shouldn’t have stood up for us.”

Yan Jiekuang said, "You've been bullied, so we should stand up for you."

Why don't you tell me why Sha Zhu is bullying you?

Tell me again, why did you offend Sha Zhu?

"You took bribes from that old man, then went and offended Sha Zhu. You can't beat Sha Zhu, so you expect us to stand up for you? What do you take us for?"

"Exactly. Don't forget our family rules. You won't go poor from eating or dressing, but you will go poor if you don't plan ahead."

"If you want us to take the lead, you'd better hand over your wages first."

When the elderly couple heard that they needed more money, they immediately fell silent. Asking them to pay was tantamount to taking their lives.

Yan Bugui said, "Go cook."

The three women sighed again: "In the blink of an eye, you've all become early rebels. Tomorrow, let's rebel your mother too, and find her a new one."

"That depends on what my dad thinks. If he's thinking about changing wives, it might actually work out."

Hao Min walked in from outside and said this.

The three women were taken aback, glanced at Yan Bugui, and dared not complain anymore.

Yan Jiekuang said, "In a couple of days, Brother Zhu will be treating me to dinner. Prepare a bottle of good wine for me. Don't bring the watered-down kind."

Yan Bugui's eyes widened: "Why would Sha Zhu invite you to dinner?"

Yan Jiekuang said smugly, "Naturally, it's because I became a guard for Hong."

Yan Bugui no longer cared about reprimanding He Yuzhu; his eyes gleamed with calculating intent.

"When are you going to eat? Did you say you'd treat me?"

Yan Jiekuang said dismissively, "What does it have to do with you if our leaders are having dinner together?"

Yan Bugui's spirits immediately vanished, and he sat down listlessly.

The three women immediately realized they wouldn't be able to go to the dinner.

She could only compromise: "Then when you're done eating, don't forget to bring the leftovers back."

Yan Jiekuang knew that if he didn't agree, his family wouldn't be willing to drink alcohol.

Unfortunately, he was still a student and didn't have much money.

"Alright, don't forget to buy the wine."

He Yuzhu wasn't just fooling them; he said he would treat them, and naturally he would.

He didn't specifically arrange a date; he just chose one of the days when He Yushui returned home.

Anyway, since He Yushui and the others are going home, he'll cook something delicious for them to enjoy.

He Yushui and the others returned from school chatting and laughing, and immediately spotted Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiekuang.

"Oh, you two joined in too."

Liu Guangfu said with a smile, "Sister Yushui, you're back. We're all activists, and I'm one of the leaders here."

He Yushui grew up in a courtyard house and knows the people there very well.

She knew very well that the people in the courtyard were all unruly. If she wanted to live a good life in the courtyard, she had to keep them in line.

"That's great. Our school has one too. I'll introduce you to our school sometime."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangfu's arrogance vanished by more than half.

Among the Hong guards in Beijing, there were five who were the most powerful, one of which was He Yushui's school.

Ultimately, they were just a group of students who hadn't even graduated from junior high school; they didn't have the guts to go against college students.

"Sister Rain, thank you so much. You must be tired after riding all this way."

I'll help you push the bicycles inside.

Yan Jiekuang was also very quick-witted and eagerly offered to help.

He Yushui wanted exactly this, and satisfied, she handed the bicycle to them.

The two were quick-witted and helped carry all the bicycles inside.

This scene stunned Yan Bugui, who was guarding the door.

He pulled Yan Jiekuang into the house: "What are you doing? Why are you helping He Yushui and the others move bicycles? What did they give you in return?"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Why are you criticizing me? Dad, your awareness needs improvement."

Who are Sister Yushui and her friends? They are college students from Peking University.

This one from Peking University is way better than ours.

Yan Bugui understood when he saw him pointing to the armband. While the others in the courtyard might not know, he, as the teacher, was very clear about it.

"Fine, someone I can't afford to offend again. I'll just have to put up with it."

Yan Jiekuang said nonchalantly, "Just stay home and bear with it. Did you buy the wine my mom ordered?"

Yan Bugui knew he couldn't stop them, so he took out the wine: "Don't forget to pack up the leftovers."

Yan Jiekuang ignored him, took the wine, and left.

At the same time, Liu Guangfu walked in carrying a plate of fried eggs.

Xu Damao, seeing this, also came in. (End of Chapter)
