Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Yan Bugui continued, "Yan Jiefang can sever the father-son relationship if he wants, but he must return all the money I've spent on him over the years."

"As the saying goes, raising a son is a way to prepare for old age. Since he doesn't want to provide for me in my old age, I will just pretend he's not my son. But I have to settle the accounts that need to be settled. I, Yan Bugui, have been good at calculating all my life and will never do a business that loses money."

Yang Ruihua said solemnly, "If you really go to Yan Jiefang to ask for compensation, then your father-son relationship will be completely broken."

Yan Bugui said in a deep voice, "Even if I don't ask Yan Jiefang for compensation, will he still recognize me as his father?"

"Don't forget, Yan Jiefang has already married into the countryside and will probably never return to the capital in his lifetime. What's the point of having a son like him?"

Yang Ruihua sighed and said, "You can do whatever you want! But do you know Yan Jiefang's specific address?"

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "I know. The letter has Yan Jiefang's address on it."

Yang Ruihua said worriedly, "The country is in such chaos right now, and northern Shaanxi is so far from the capital. Is it safe for you to go out alone?"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Don't worry! Northern Shaanxi is less than a thousand kilometers away from the capital. I've been to places farther away, so nothing will happen."

"Then when are you leaving?"

"There's no time to lose. I'm going to leave tomorrow. Who knows, after this trip, I might have enough money to buy a job for the third child."

"When you get there, talk to Jiefang's father-in-law nicely. You're a stranger there, so don't get into any conflicts with them."

"Don't worry, I'm a teacher, and what I'm best at is reasoning. I'll use both reason and emotion to convince Yan Jiefang's father-in-law to give me the money."

The next day, Yan Bugui bought a train ticket and boarded the train to northern Shaanxi.

After several days of bumpy journey, Yan Bugui finally found the small village where Yan Jiefang was.

Yan Jiefang was very surprised to see Yan Bugui, who looked exhausted.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"Snapped!"

Without saying anything, Yan Bugui raised his hand and slapped Yan Jiefang in the face, and said angrily:

"Yan Jiefang, you're so bold! You made such a big decision on your own without even consulting me about something as important as getting married. Do you still see me as your father?"

"Old thing, you dare to hit my brother Jiefang, I will fight you to death."

When Lin Haiyan saw Yan Jiefang being slapped by Yan Bugui, she immediately became furious and rushed towards Yan Bugui with all her strength. In an instant, Yan Bugui was knocked three meters away and fainted on the spot.

"dad!"

"Father-in-law!"

Yan Jiefang and Lin Zongwei's faces changed drastically, and they immediately ran forward to check Yan Bugui's injuries.

The two men saw that Yan Bugui was unconscious with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and their faces looked solemn.

Although Yan Jiefang hated Yan Bugui, Yan Bugui was his biological father after all. His biological father climbed mountains and waded through water to see him, but just as he said a word, he was knocked unconscious by his wife. It is easy to imagine how complicated his mood was.

Compared with Yan Jiefang, Lin Zongwei was not only worried but also afraid.

The other party was Yan Jiefang's biological father. He had come here to demand an explanation, but as soon as he arrived at the doorstep, he was hit and fell to the ground by his own daughter. This was totally unacceptable.

Putting aside other things, just the fact that my daughter injured someone for no reason, if the other party insisted on calling the police, my daughter would have to go to jail.

Thinking of this, Lin Zongwei became furious and slapped the woman in the face.

Lin Haiyan covered her face, looked at Lin Zongwei in shock, and said in a tearful voice:

"Dad, you actually hit me?"

Lin Zongwei angrily said, "I didn't hit you enough, so you didn't know the severity of the situation, became lawless, and dared to attack anyone!"

Lin Haiyan said with a look of grievance: "He was the one who hit Brother Jiefang first."

Lin Zongwei's face turned grim as he said, "He is Yan Jiefang's biological father. It is only natural for a father to beat his son."

Lin Haiyan said stubbornly, "I don't care. No one can hurt Brother Jiefang, even if he is Brother Jiefang's father."

"you…"

Lin Zongwei was furious and raised his hand to hit Lin Haiyan again.

Mother Lin hurriedly advised, "Old Lin, now is not the time to argue about right or wrong. Hurry and send your father-in-law to the town clinic!"

Lin Zongwei reacted instantly and said anxiously:

"Yes... yes, the most important thing now is to get my father-in-law to the clinic for treatment. I'm so angry about this rebellious girl that I'm beside myself."

"Jiefang, quickly push the cart out from the woodshed. We're taking your father to the clinic."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiefang looked at Lin Haiyan with complicated eyes, then went to the woodshed to push the cart.

Yan Jiefang and Lin Zongwei lifted Yan Bugui onto a cart and hurriedly took him to the town clinic.

"Doctor, how is my father?"

"The patient has two broken ribs and will need to be on the mend for 4-6 weeks."

"Ah! How could it be so serious? Does he have any other injuries?"

"The main injuries are two broken ribs, and the rest are just minor scratches."

"Then why hasn't my dad woken up yet?"

"The patient is in painful shock and should wake up soon."

"Thank you doctor!"

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Bugui opened his eyes with difficulty. The pain in his body made him cry out in pain.

Yan Jiefang heard the noise and said with surprise, "Dad, you finally woke up!"

Yan Bugui said weakly, "Where am I?"

Yan Jiefang replied, "The town clinic!"

Yan Bugui instantly recalled everything that had happened before and said angrily:

"Who was that fat woman who attacked me? Did you call the police?"

Yan Jiefang said awkwardly: "Dad, the woman who hit you is Lin Haiyan, she is my daughter-in-law."

Yan Bugui was shocked at first, then he cursed at Yan Jiefang:

"Yan Jiefang, have you never seen a woman before? You're actually marrying into a family with a fat, ugly, and violent woman like her. You've brought shame upon our Yan family for eighteen generations."

Yan Jiefang was scolded, and the rage in his heart rushed straight to the top of his head, and he roared loudly:

"Yan Bugui, shut up! You think I want to be a live-in son-in-law? It's all because of you that I'm forced to do that."

"Open your eyes and take a good look at me now. I'm starving every day. I'm just skin and bones."

"I've written to you many times begging you to send me money, but you've refused to give me a penny. If I don't marry into the Lin family, I'll starve to death."

A trace of guilt flashed through Yan Bugui's heart, but he said in a timid tone:

"Yan Bugui, you unfilial son! I've raised you until you were twenty years old. How dare you ask me for money?"

"I'm picking up trash every day now, and the money I earn can barely support my family's livelihood. How can I have extra money to send you?"

"Besides, other educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the fields were able to eat their fill, but why are you hungry every day? It's because you're lazy by nature and don't work hard."

Yan Jiefang angrily retorted, "Excuses, these are all your excuses. I don't believe you are so poor that you don't even have a few dollars. I don't know you. You love money like your life and you are stingy. Asking you to spend some money is like asking you to die..."
