Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After getting off work, Yan Jiedi came to the courtyard house again.

"Brother Zhu, I really didn't know my brother would do that. If I had known, I wouldn't have come to find you."

He Yuzhu said, "Jie Di, you don't need to apologize. I didn't take it to heart."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was not angry, Yan Jiedi was relieved.

"I really don't understand why my dad insists on getting involved with that old man."

"Haven't he been ripped off by an old man countless times over the years?"

He Yuzhu also wanted to know the answer to this question.

Yan Bugui suffered countless losses and paid a fortune following Yi Zhonghai.

Putting everything else aside, he lost a lot of his job.

Even though Yan Bugui couldn't gain any advantage by following Yi Zhonghai, he still insisted on being with Yi Zhonghai every time.

This might just be destiny.

It was destined that Yan Bugui would have no children to support him in his old age, so he would have to team up with Yi Zhonghai to provide for him.

What was originally a comedy for them has now turned into a tragedy.

Yan Jiedi had to go back to cook for Grandpa Qin, so she left in a hurry.

Yan Bugui stopped her at the door: "Jie Di, what brings you here?"

Yan Jiedi looked at Yan Bugui with a helpless expression: "Dad, can you please stop messing with us?"

Yan Bugui said with displeasure, "How can you talk like that, child?"
When did I ever cheat you guys?

Yan Jiedi didn't argue with him and said, "If you say no, then no."

I need to go back and cook for my godfather, so I can't talk to you anymore.

The third aunt came out of the house and said, "Jie Di, do you have any conscience?"

We raised you, and now that you're all grown up, you don't recognize us anymore.

Yan Jiedi said, "Mom, what you're saying is unreasonable."

All the expenses at home were paid for by me.

I started collecting recyclables when I was seven years old to earn money and pay for my family's living expenses.

When I was sent to the countryside, I begged you so much to help me find a job.

what about you?
They took the money but refused to go; they insisted on sending me to the countryside.

My dad once said that the greatest act of filial impiety is for children to be unable to support themselves.

I can support myself now, why aren't you happy?

Yi Zhonghai stood to the side, and although he was very happy that Yan Bugui's children were unfilial, he still felt particularly uncomfortable listening to Yan Jiedi's words.

Qin Huairu knew him too well and, fearing he might cause trouble, quickly pulled him back.

Seeing Qin Huairu's gaze, Yi Zhonghai gradually calmed down.

After Qin Huai released Yi Zhonghai, she stepped out from the crowd.

"Jie Di, don't talk about your parents like that. They have their reasons."

"You've come all this way, don't rush off. I need to talk to you about something."

Yan Jiedi quickly pushed him away: "Don't mention my sister to me. You're Uncle Yi's wife now, you're from the same generation as my father."

The onlookers covered their mouths and chuckled.

Qin Huairu looked somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

For the sake of her job as a shill, she could only pretend not to care: "Call me whatever you want. It's just a name, no need to take it so seriously."

Yan Jiedi didn't dwell on the matter too much, but said, "My godfather's health is not good, and he can't be left alone. If you have something to say, just say it here."

What Qin Huairu wanted to say was actually quite obvious.

Yan Jiedi was certain that Qin Huairu would not say it in public.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to say it out loud, so she could only awkwardly explain, "I wanted to persuade you not to continue arguing with your parents."

Yan Jiedi said, "You don't need to worry about that."

After saying that, she left.

Qin Huai sighed and had no choice but to go home. Having missed this opportunity, Bang Geng would have to suffer in the countryside forever.

Yan Bugui and his wife returned home in anger and berated Yan Jiedi together.

The two stopped when the aroma of food wafted from outside. Yan Jiekuang, who had been sleeping, sat up in bed.

He glanced at the clock in the house and asked, "Mom, have you finished cooking?"

The third aunt said discontentedly, "All they know is how to eat. They don't even know how to hand over their grain ration books."

Yan Jiekuang said, "What grain ration book? We've already agreed that it will start next month."

The three women had no choice but to cook.

Yan Jiekuang took the paperwork and reported for duty the next day. He then stayed at home for a few more days, and then disappeared from sight.

Yan Bugui and his wife were quite happy to see that he wasn't coming home for dinner, feeling that they had gotten a good deal.

However, on this day, Yan Jiekuang returned with a woman, and the two of them could no longer laugh.

"What did you say? You two are married?"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "That's right. I'm getting old, is there any problem with me getting married?"

The third aunt said, "Why didn't you tell me and your dad?"

Yan Jiekuang said, "I've told you all, but you still won't give me any money."

Does it make a difference whether I say it or not?

The three women were so angry they couldn't speak.

Yan Bugui, on the other hand, had a dark expression on his face the whole time. It was incredibly embarrassing that he, as the father, didn't even know his son was getting married.

Yan Jiekuang didn't care about his attitude. He was the one who married her, and his father-in-law paid for the wedding.

Yan Bugui wouldn't contribute a single penny, so why should he care about Yan Bugui's attitude?

Yan Jiecheng came out carrying his son and said with a smile, "Jiekuang, why didn't you invite me to your wedding?"

"No matter what, I'm still your brother."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Brother, I just wanted to save you some money."

I want to tell you, you shouldn't have given me a gift.

Yan Jiecheng was taken aback, then fell silent. Yan Jiekuang hadn't given him a wedding gift when he got married. Why should he give Yan Jiekuang a gift?

Yan Jiekuang then introduced his wife to the people in the courtyard.

"Brother Zhu, this is my wife."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Okay, once you're married, you can live a good life together."

After leaving He Yuzhu's house, Yan Jiekuang took his wife to visit other people's homes.

He prepared wedding candy, but not much—just two pieces for each family. This was very much in line with the Yan family's stingy nature.

Aside from He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, who spoke a few words to him, only Liu Haizhong said a few words to him.

"Yan Jiekuang, what you did was wrong. How could you get married without telling your father?"
In any case, we should treat the elders in the courtyard to a meal.

"Look at my family, when Guangfu gets married, I'll definitely throw a big party with two tables."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Second Uncle, this is not my fault. Even if I told my father, he wouldn't have invited us to a meal."

Once Liu Haizhong thought about Yan Bugui's personality, he knew he couldn't say what he would say next.

After Yan Jiekuang left, Liu Guangfu said, "Dad, I actually think Yan Jiekuang did the right thing."

There isn't a single good person in our compound. Over the years, when you were punished by the factory, not a single person in our compound helped you.

Why should we hire them? Wouldn't it be better to use that money to buy more furniture for our home?

Of the three sons in the Liu family, only Liu Guangfu lived at home. His words carried considerable weight.

The second aunt stood on his side: "I think Guangfu is right."

In our compound, very few young people have weddings. All you can count is Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng from our family.

Besides, even if you hold a wedding, only Lao Yi and Lao Yan will come.

Isn't this just letting them profit?

Seeing that neither of them was willing, and considering his current status, Liu Haizhong did not insist any further.

"If you don't want to do it, then forget it."

Liu Guangfu then began to curry favor with the two men.

The second aunt said, "Don't rush to talk about marriage. Your father and I haven't met your boyfriend yet."

"I'll bring her to see you on my day off." (End of Chapter)
