Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Since Lin Haiyan sat down at the table, she only had eyes for food. She didn't say a word in the conversation between Yan Jiefang and his parents, but just kept eating and drinking.

With the two big eaters, Lin Haitang and Yan Jiefang, present, the food on the table disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. By the time Lin's father and mother reacted, only some soup was left in the bowls.

Lin's father and mother looked at each other and a bitter smile appeared on their faces.

Mother Lin scolded, "Haiyan, we are talking about Yan Jiefang's parents. How come you don't care at all?"

Lin Haiyan argued confidently, "Why should I care? I'm marrying Brother Jiefang, not his parents."

Father Lin said angrily: "Asshole, after you marry Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiefang's parents will become your parents-in-law. How can you not care about them?"

Yan Jiefang persuaded him, "Uncle, don't be angry. Since I agreed to marry into your family, your home is my home. I don't plan to go back to my original home, so it doesn't matter whether Haiyan cares about my parents or not."

Father Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, but he said:

"Jiefang, even if you don't return to your home in the capital, Haiyan must respect your parents. After all, your parents gave birth to you and raised you."

Lin Haiyan muttered, "I know. You keep rambling on and on. It's really annoying."

After Yan Jiefang had eaten and drunk his fill, he said goodbye.

Lin Haiyan hugged Yan Jiefang's arm and said reluctantly:

"Brother Jiefang, I don't want to be separated from you. How about you sleep at my house tonight?"

Lin's father was immediately furious and scolded, "Lin Haiyan, what are you doing? I just taught you that girls should be reserved, why are you hugging Jiefang again?"

"Also, you and Jiefang haven't gotten married yet, so how can he live in our house?"

Mother Lin pulled her daughter over and comforted her gently:

"Haiyan, don't worry. Dad and I will choose your wedding date as soon as possible. Once you get married, you can be together all the time."

Lin Haiyan said reluctantly: "Okay then!"

"Uncle, aunt, Haiyan, goodbye!"

After Yan Jiefang left, Lin's mother said, "Old Lin, go check the calendar and pick a good day to hold your daughter and Yan Jiefang's wedding as soon as possible."

Father Lin said casually: "I have already chosen it. Three days later is a good day."

"When did you look at the calendar? Why didn't I see it?"

"Why look at the calendar? If I say three days from now is a good day, then it is a good day. I'm a soldier and I don't believe in those feudal superstitions."

"Haiyan, go get me some paper and pen. I need to write down the guests you're going to invite to your wedding and what you're going to buy."

"Okay!"

When Yan Jiefang returned to the educated youth point, he was stopped by squad leader Ma Wenyuan.

"Yan Jiefang, why did you come back just now? Where's your hoe?"

Yan Jiefang was horrified and said, "Oh no! I forgot my hoe in the field. I'll go get it now."

As soon as Yan Jiefang finished speaking, he ran quickly towards the field. Before he had run far, Yan Jiefang stopped.

"Damn it! I'm going to marry into the village Party Secretary's family. From now on, I won't have to work in the fields anymore. Why would I care about a hoe?"

Yan Jiefang was originally planning to return the same way, but after thinking about it, he decided to go and get the hoe back. After all, he had not married Lin Haiyan yet, and he still had to continue doing farm work, and he couldn't do without a hoe.

Not long after, Yan Jiefang returned to the educated youth site with a hoe on his back, and Ma Wenyuan started scolding him.

"Yan Jiefang, what's wrong with you? Not only did you come back to the educated youth camp so late, but you even forgot your hoe in the field. You are so unorganized and undisciplined..."

Yan Jiefang said with disdain, "Ma Wenyuan, what the hell are you barking about? It's none of your business when I come back."

"You're just a squad leader at an educated youth camp. You don't have any authority. Don't use chicken feathers as a token of authority in front of me."

Yan Jiefang has always disliked Ma Wenyuan. He thinks this guy is exactly the same as Liu Haizhong in the courtyard house. He has no ability at all, but he always likes to act like a leader and give everyone orders.

Before, Yan Jiefang wanted to suffer together with everyone, so he didn't argue with him. But now he is about to leave the educated youth site and marry into the village party secretary's family. How could he give face to Ma Wenyuan?

Upon hearing this, Ma Wenyuan's nose became crooked with anger and he roared:

"Yan Jiefang, you're looking for death."

Yan Jiefang sneered, "Why? If you want to fight, then do it if you have the guts!"

Ma Wenyuan was a guy who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. When he saw that Yan Jiefang really dared to fight with him, he instantly became scared.

Ma Wenyuan pretended to be calm and said righteously:

"Yan Jiefang, I'm the squad leader of the educated youth camp. It's impossible for me to lead a fight. But you're disorganized and undisciplined, and you've even insulted the comrades around you. I will report your actions to the village party secretary."

Yan Jiefang was immediately amused when he heard this, thinking to himself, "The village party secretary will soon be my father-in-law. It's no use suing him."

Yan Jiefang said sarcastically, "Sue the village party secretary. Why don't you go home and sue your mother?"

"Pfft!"

When the people at the educated youth site heard what Yan Jiefang said, they all burst into laughter.

When Ma Wenyuan heard everyone's laughter, his face instantly turned the color of liver, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Yan Jiefang, just wait!"

Yan Jiefang said nonchalantly, "Okay, I'll wait. If you have any tricks, use them as soon as possible."

Ma Wenyuan glared at Yan Jiefang fiercely, then turned and walked towards the village party secretary's house.

As soon as Ma Wenyuan left, the other educated youth surrounded Yan Jiefang.

"Yan Jiefang, you're so aggressive today. You actually confronted Ma Wenyuan like that?"

"Actually, I've long disliked Ma Wenyuan. He's just a squad leader, but he always has a stern face and shows off in front of us, scolding this and that. What kind of person is he?"

"That's right, put a dead mouse in your waist and pretend to be a hunter; put a feather duster in the back of a toad and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf."

"However, it seems that Ma Wenyuan really went to complain to the village party secretary. Yan Jiefang, aren't you going to take a picture?"

"Don't worry, the village party secretary is reasonable and perceptive. He won't believe Ma Wenyuan's one-sided story."

"Yan Jiefang, although that's what I said, Ma Wenyuan is our squad leader after all. I advise you to go to the village party secretary's house and explain the situation. You can't let Ma Wenyuan slander you."

"Don't worry about me, brothers. I'll be fine."

Yan Jiefang smiled confidently and walked into the cave.

"Strange, why does Yan Jiefang seem like a completely different person today?"

"I also feel that something's wrong with Yan Jiefang today. Although he didn't like Ma Wenyuan before, he didn't intend to confront Ma Wenyuan like he did today."

"I feel the same way. Before, Yan Jiefang was quite afraid of the village party secretary, but today he seems to have no fear of him at all."

"Yan Jiefang is not afraid of the village party secretary, but of the village party secretary's fat daughter."
