Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yan Jiecheng had already separated from Yan Bugui, so he couldn't bring himself to say anything against Yan Jiedi.

The three women inside the house became anxious upon hearing what their children said.

She came out of the house and said to Yan Jiecheng, "You unfilial son. Your sister wants to separate from us, and instead of helping to persuade her, you support her decision to separate the family property."

Yan Jiecheng said to the three aunts, "If I don't separate from you, am I just waiting to be tricked to death by you?"

Hao Min is currently pregnant and has physical limitations.

I went to ask you to help take care of things, and that's what you said to me.

You actually expect me to pay for your labor?

"The child in Hao Min's belly isn't your grandson."

Mentioning this makes Yan Jiecheng furious. He's never heard of a mother-in-law charging her mother-in-law for taking care of her pregnant daughter-in-law.

The three women not only demanded payment for their labor, but also wanted him to provide them with a meal.

The third aunt muttered, "Have you forgotten our family motto?"

The greatest act of filial impiety is when children cannot support themselves.

Yan Jiecheng said, "You're right. Jie Di is now able to support herself, so isn't it perfect that she's separating from you?"

Yan Jiedi smiled and said, "You're right. If you're unwilling to help me find a job, then I'll go to the countryside."

Going to the countryside naturally means separating from your family.

If you don't agree, that's fine too. We can separate the family when we go to the countryside.

By the way, when others go to the countryside, their families give them some travel expenses and living expenses.

How much are you planning to give me?

Yan Bugui and his wife had never thought about this issue.

When Yan Jiekuang was sent to the countryside, they didn't give him a single penny.

To this day, they still don't know whether Yan Jiekuang is dead or alive.

The three women couldn't answer.

Yan Bugui, who was inside the house, was worried that the third aunt would not be able to withstand the pressure and would agree to give him the money, so he shouted from inside the house: "Yang Ruihua, come in here."

They've grown up and become independent.

She wants to separate from the family; we'll grant her that request tomorrow.

After hearing this, the three women went home without saying a word.

As if afraid that Yan Jiedi would really ask them for money, they closed the door after entering the house.

Yan Jiecheng glanced at Yan Jiedi, said nothing, and went home.

Yan Jiedi had clearly been kicked out of the house, and he was afraid that she would pester him.

When the neighbors in the courtyard saw that the Yan family had all left, they also dispersed.

If the Yan family doesn't care, they certainly won't.

Yan Jiedi looked around, picked up her bundle, and went into the central courtyard.

At this point, only He Yuzhu could help her. No one else had an empty house, only He Yuzhu's house did.

After the He sisters got married, He Yushui's house became empty.

"Brother Zhu, sister-in-law."

He Yuzhu didn't go to watch the commotion, but he could guess what had happened to the Yan family.

The original trajectory was that Yan Bugui's life was much better than it is now, yet he still didn't care about Yan Jiedi and sent her to the countryside to work as an educated youth.

Yan Bugui is having a tough time these days; he's been cleaning toilets at the school for several years now.

He was even less likely to care about Yan Jiedi.

"what are you thinking?"

Yan Jiedi said, "I want to separate from my father. I've already talked to Uncle Qin, and I'll take care of him from now on."

He Yuzhu looked at her warily: "Do you know what you're saying?"

Once those words are spoken, there's no going back.

Yan Jiedi said, "Brother Zhu, I know what I'm saying."
Uncle Qin treats me better than my own father. I want to recognize him as my godfather and take care of him in his old age.

Thinking about Yan Jiedi's original appearance, He Yuzhu really couldn't believe this promise.

There was no way around it; under Yi Zhonghai's leadership, not a single person in the courtyard was filial.

The only one who could be described as filial, Sha Zhu, was morally coerced.

If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's moral blackmail, Sha Zhu would never have provided for Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui in their old age.

Of course, she wouldn't provide for Yi Zhonghai's retirement either. Lin Jinghan said, "You need to think this through. Uncle Qin is a national hero; if you promise something and then can't deliver, that won't do."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I can definitely do it."

He Yuzhu and Lin Jinghan exchanged a glance and decided to trust her for the time being.

Despite having memories of her past life, Yan Jiedi's words are not very credible.

But He Yuzhu didn't care.

If Yan Jiedi dares to go back on her word, there are plenty of ways to deal with her.

Similarly, if she can keep her word, He Yuzhu wouldn't mind helping her.

Seeing that He Yuzhu and the other person believed her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Zhu, can I stay at your house for the next couple of days?"

There's a small house next to Grandpa Qin's. It's all set up. After my dad and I separate from the family, I'll move to the scrap yard.

I'm afraid that if I move in now, my dad will find out I have a job and try to take advantage of me.

He Yuzhu agreed and took him to He Yushui's house.

"Don't touch anything that's wet from the rain."

"Brother Zhu, don't worry, I understand."

He Yuzhu didn't want to stay inside, so he said, "You tidy up first. I'll go back and cook, and then we'll eat at my place later."

There weren't many valuable items inside.

Moreover, Yan Jiedi did not have a habit of stealing.

If it were a member of the Jia family, He Yuzhu wouldn't dare open the door.

Qin Huairu also asked He Yuzhu if she could borrow the house. He Yuzhu refused without even thinking.

Yan Jiedi conscientiously tidied up the things in the room and then began cleaning the house.

This house has been uninhabited for a long time, and it's quite dusty inside.

He Yuzhu returned home, and Lin Jinghan asked, "Is everything arranged?"

The Yan family is really something. They're family, yet they constantly scheme against each other.

He Yuzhu said, "You can't get by without using your cunning. If you don't have cunning in the Yan family, you won't even get a meal."

One side raises one person.

If you shrink to the environment of a traditional courtyard house, the people who come out of there are basically not filial.

Despite Yi Zhonghai's constant profession of filial piety, he is actually the most unfilial of them all.

The people in the courtyard saw his behavior and naturally followed suit.

In the entire courtyard, only Sha Zhu believed him.

Narrowing it down to the Yan family, everyone has to learn to scheme. If you can't learn to scheme, you really won't even be able to eat.

Between fathers and sons, husbands and wives, there are pitfalls everywhere, and one must always be wary of others.

When the third aunt saw that Yan Jiedi had entered the He family's house, she went home and reported it to Yan Bugui.

"You said that Sha Zhu doesn't get along with our family and usually ignores us, so why did he take in Jie Di?"

Yan Bugui's eyes darted around, then he suddenly laughed: "Good idea to take her in. Maybe that girl Jie Di can get Sha Zhu to help her find a job."

The three women's eyes lit up: "If Sha Zhu finds a job for Jie Di, then we..."

Yan Bugui sighed: "Don't think about it anymore. Didn't that girl say she wants to separate from us tomorrow?"

The third aunt said discontentedly, "She dares to. She can separate the family whenever she wants."

Yan Bugui was more rational than the third aunt and said, "What if we don't separate the family?"
These days, jobs are so precious; Sha Zhu wouldn't just give them away for nothing.

If she comes back asking us for money, should we give it to her or not?

“But after the family splits up, we won’t get anything.” The third aunt looked reluctant.

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "It's alright, just leave the money with her first."

In a couple of years, when she gets older, she'll need to find a partner.

"Without our help, let's see what she does."

The third auntie's face was full of agreement. She didn't think there was anything wrong with using marriage to blackmail her children.

They forgot that Yan Jiefang got married without telling them.

With Yan Jiefang as an example, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi will follow suit.

Their schemes will ultimately fail. (End of Chapter)
