Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

After signing the agreement, Li Huaide left. More than half an hour later, Li Huaide came back. Li Huaide stuffed the document bag with money into Yan Jiecheng's hand and said, "Three days later, at nine o'clock in the morning. In front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. I will give you the remaining money after you get the divorce." After that, Li Huaide took Yu Li and the two children away.

After Li Huaide left, Yan Bugui asked, "Xie Cheng, are you really just going to let it go?!"

Yan Jiecheng patted the file bag in his hand and said, "If we don't let it go like this, what else can we do?!" After that, Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Jiefang.

Yan Jiefang said: "Not bad, you have self-awareness!"

"What do you mean?!" After saying that, Yan Jiecheng gave Yan Jiefang a look that said, "If you don't explain clearly, I'll deal with you." and looked at Yan Jiefang.

Yan Jiefang said, "A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Haven't you heard of this saying?! Although Li Huaide has stepped down, he still has a lot of connections and contacts. I think you know how you got your job. Although you have taken the money now, he can still make you lose your job with just a few tricks. If you lose your job, you won't be able to live in the tube building. I advise you to find a new place to live as soon as possible!"

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "What's the big deal? The house is easy to deal with. Although your father can't find a tube-shaped building, he can still find a decent courtyard house. We can buy the house and renovate it ourselves."

Yan Jiecheng asked: "Dad, how much does it cost to buy a house now?!"

Yan Bugui said: "It depends on how big a house you want to buy. If it's a courtyard house, 2,000 yuan is basically enough. Including the cost of later maintenance, it's about 2,500 yuan. It depends on the specific situation of the house."

When Yan Jiecheng heard that it would cost 2,500 yuan, his face immediately changed and he said, "Dad, how about I pay 200 yuan and give me a room in the house you live in now?"

Yan Bugui smiled and replied, "It's too late! I have already sold the house to Jiefang. If you want to live there, go and discuss it with him."

Yan Jiefang said, "Brother, you always say that brothers should settle accounts clearly. I agree with you. You can stay here if you want. It's 1.2 yuan a day, and you pay for as long as you stay. Meals are 50 cents a meal, and you pay for as many meals as you eat. You can just give the rent and meal money to our mother directly."

The three aunts who had been silent all this time gave Yan Jiefang a look that said, "Jiecheng, there is no such thing as a free lunch. I heard someone say recently that free things are the most expensive. It's good that Jiefang clearly marked the prices. Besides, you are not short of money now."

Yan Jiecheng snorted and said, "Forget it! I'm afraid of you! We don't know what will happen next?! These are just your guesses. Let's talk about it after I'm out of work. It's getting late, I'll go back first." After that, Yan Jiecheng walked past Yan Bugui holding the file bag containing money.

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng's back, his expression suddenly turned ugly, and he said, "This kid really doesn't know what's good for him!"

Yan Jiefang said, "Dad, I've said it before, Yan Jiecheng is the same type as Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi. They have learned all your previous schemes, and they are even better than you."

Yan Bugui felt embarrassed when he heard what Yan Jiefang said. The third aunt rolled her eyes at Yan Bugui and said, "Jiefang, we should not interfere in their affairs. If your father wants to interfere, let him live with Yan Jiecheng in the future. We will not serve him!"

Yan Jiefang gave Yan Bugui a helpless look and followed his mother obediently. Yan Bugui smiled bitterly and could only follow.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Yan Bugui and his wife had just returned home with Yan Jiefang. The story of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li spread all over Nanluoguxiang and Tongzilou. Yan Jiecheng was fine. After all, he was the obvious victim. Yu Li's family had a hard time. Faced with the neighbors' gossip, Yu Li's parents didn't know what to do and could only endure the neighbors' verbal violence.

Yu Haitang, who was staying at home, suddenly felt that this was an opportunity to come back. Yu Haitang knew very well what kind of person Yan Jiecheng was. Although he was a bit stingy, he was generally a good person. She had been married in Xinjiang Province, but they had divorced when the wind started, and she had no children. Now Yan Jiecheng was at his most vulnerable and needed someone to care for him.

The more Yu Haitang thought about it, the more she felt that she could be a good match with Yan Jiecheng. So Yu Haitang found the clothes she thought looked the best, put on some simple makeup, said hello to her parents, and went out with her handbag.

More than 20 minutes later, Yu Haitang arrived at Yan Jiecheng's house and knocked on the door.

Yan Jiecheng, who was drinking alone at home, heard a knock on the door and called out, "Come in!"

Yu Haitang opened the door, walked in, closed the door and locked it, then walked to the table and put her handbag on the table. Yan Jiecheng glanced at Yu Haitang and asked, "Why are you here?!"

Yu Haitang said: "I have heard about what happened between you and my sister. My sister is sorry for you. I, as your younger sister, came to see you."

"What's so good about me?!" After saying that, Yan Jiecheng grabbed a few peanuts and put them into his mouth.

Yu Haitang said: "It is said that the sister-in-law is the brother-in-law's little cotton-padded jacket. Although you and my sister have broken up, we are not divorced yet. Of course, my little cotton-padded jacket is here to comfort you!"

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yu Haitang and said, "Have a couple of drinks with me!" After that, Yan Jiecheng took a clean cup and placed it in front of Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang smiled, picked up the bottle, poured most of the wine into the glass, and said, "Are you so willing to divorce my sister?!"

Yan Jiecheng said, "Things have come to this point. What else can we do but divorce? You can't ask me to raise a son for someone else, can you? I'm not stupid."

Yu Haitang smiled, took a sip of wine, and then said, "You are quite evil, asking them for so much money."

Yan Jiecheng smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of having a lot of money? I've been cuckolded for more than ten years. Would that man be willing to do that?!"

As they chatted, Yan Jiecheng drank more and more. In the blink of an eye, most of the bottle of wine went into Yan Jiecheng's stomach. Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was drunk, Yu Haitang felt that her chance had come. Yu Haitang helped Yan Jiecheng to the bed, then found a towel and poured some hot water, helped Yan Jiecheng wipe himself, then took off their clothes to fake the scene, and then lay down next to Yan Jiecheng.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, just after dawn, Yan Jiecheng sobered up and reached out his hand in a daze. He felt someone beside him. Yan Jiecheng was awakened instantly and saw that the person sleeping next to him was Yu Haitang. He was stunned.

At this time, Yu Haitang also woke up. When she saw Yan Jiecheng, she immediately acted scared, rolled up the quilt and wrapped herself tightly, crying, "You bastard!"

Yan Jiecheng shook his head and tried to recall what happened last night. But no matter how hard he thought, he just couldn't remember what he had done. There was no other way, so Yan Jiecheng said, "In two days, I will divorce your sister and we will get married! Don't worry, I will definitely be responsible for you."
