Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Yan Bugui said with a stern face, "I do have some money, but it should be left for your younger siblings to pay for their tuition. As the second oldest brother in the family, you don't think about how to help your younger siblings, but instead try to squeeze money out of me, your old father. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"I also lived in the countryside when I was young. I could have enough to eat if I worked hard. I don't believe you would be hungry every day."

Yan Jiefang said indignantly, "Where was the village you lived in back then? And where is this place?"

"This is the Loess Plateau, the land is barren. Not only me, but many families in the village often go hungry. Do you have the ability..."

Yan Bugui interrupted rudely, "Let's not talk about this for now. Go to the police station and report the crime. Have the criminals who attacked me arrested."

Yan Jiefang shouted, "Dad, the person who attacked you is my wife. You want me to call the police to arrest my wife? Are you crazy?"

"Cough cough..."

Yan Bugui was furious and said, "I don't agree to this marriage. Call the police right now. That woman hit me so hard that my whole body is in pain. She must be brought to justice."

Lin Zongwei, who was eavesdropping outside the ward, could no longer sit still. He pushed the door open and entered the ward, smiling broadly.

"Brother, you finally woke up. We were so worried."

Yan Bugui said with a sour face: "Who are you? Why did you break into my ward? Didn't you see that my son and I were talking?"

Yan Jiefang hurriedly introduced: "Dad, this is my father-in-law, the village party secretary of Linjiawan."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui looked at Lin Zongwei with anger on his face and cursed:

"You were the one who tricked my son into marrying into my family, you bastard? And it was your woman who hit me and seriously injured me, old man! I'll beat you to death!"

"what!"

Yan Bugui was furious and stood up to beat Lin Zongwei, but the pain in his body made him fall back on the bed.

Yan Jiefang said anxiously, "Dad, don't get excited. The doctor said you have two broken ribs and need to rest well!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui became even angrier and shouted:

"What? I broke two ribs. This woman is too cruel. We must call the police and have him arrested."

Lin Zongwei hurriedly said, "Brother, calm down. My woman was indeed a little reckless. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Yan Bugui said coldly, "What do you mean by reckless? She is committing a crime. I will never let this go."

Lin Zongwei smiled apologetically and said, "Brother, I know Haiyan hit you and hurt you, and you're very angry, but she's your daughter-in-law now. Please forgive her this time!"

"What daughter-in-law? Did they discuss their marriage with me? Did they get my consent? I, Yan Bugui, do not recognize this marriage."

"Brother, Jiefang and Haiyan got married without consulting you, which was indeed inappropriate. I apologize to you here, but they have already obtained a marriage certificate and are truly husband and wife. This is a fact that cannot be changed."

"That's easy. Just let them divorce. I will never agree to this marriage."

"Brother, you're being unreasonable. As the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. They just got married, and you want them to divorce. How can this be justified?"

"Besides, your son has already slept with my daughter, and now he's divorcing her. How can my daughter live her life in the future?"

"Then I can't control it. If you don't agree, your daughter will go to jail!"

Lin Zongwei's eyes turned cold: "Brother, it's meaningless if you say that?"

Yan Bugui said fearlessly, "Lin Zongwei, I heard that you are the Party Secretary of Linjia Village. My son married into your family because you forced him to marry into your family, right?"

"What does your daughter look like? You know better than anyone else. My son is educated and well-educated, and he's also handsome. I don't believe he would willingly marry your daughter and become part of your family."

"You must have taken advantage of your position and used some shady means to force my son to marry your daughter."

"Lin Zongwei, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a village party secretary."

"I will appeal this matter. If the town doesn't respond, I will appeal to the county. If the county doesn't respond, I will appeal to the city. If the city doesn't respond, I will appeal to the provincial government. If the provincial government doesn't respond, I will appeal to the central government. Even if I have to risk my life, I, Yan Bugui, will seek justice for my son."

Lin Zongwei heard this without any panic. He looked at Yan Jiefang and said calmly:

"Yan Jiefang, did I force you to marry my daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiefang wanted to say that she was forced, but he didn't dare. After all, he still had to live in Linjia Bay. If he really dared to say that, his future life would be difficult.

Yan Jiefang gathered his thoughts and said firmly, "Dad, my father-in-law didn't force me. I married Haiyan willingly."

"Yan Jiefang, you rebellious son!"

Yan Bugui was furious and picked up the enamel cup on the bedside table and threw it at Yan Jiefang.

Yan Jiefang tilted his head slightly to avoid the enamel cup thrown by Yan Bugui.

Lin Zongwei said with a smile, "Jiefang, go out first. Your father and I need to discuss something."

Yan Bugui said coldly, "Don't leave. I have nothing to discuss with him..."

Yan Jiefang looked at Yan Bugui, then at Lin Zongwei, and finally walked out of the ward.

Seeing Yan Jiefang leave, Lin Zongwei said sincerely, "Brother, I think we should talk calmly."

Yan Bugui said indifferently, "I told you, there's nothing to discuss with you. I don't know what tricks you used to get that rebellious son Yan Jiefang to stand on your side, but I will never give up."

Lin Zongwei narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a more serious tone, "Brother, even if I use any means, as long as Yan Jiefang stands on my side, you will have no way to deal with me."

Yan Bugui said angrily, "At least I can send your daughter to jail!"

Lin Zongwei's eyes were sharp as he said, "Even if you send my daughter to prison, what does it matter? She'll be out in a year at most, and then she'll still be Yan Jiefang's wife, but with the added identity of a labor camp inmate."

"Haiyan has a criminal record, so their children's ability to join the military or take civil service exams will be restricted in the future. Is this what you want to see?"

"Cough cough..."

Yan Bugui was so angry that he trembled all over, coughed non-stop, and said with bloodshot eyes:

"You despicable villain, get out of here! I don't want to see you anymore!"

Lin Zongwei whispered softly, "Brother, I know you are very angry now. After all, anyone would be angry if they were bumped into the hospital for no reason."

"Of course, I know that what you're most angry about isn't being rushed to the hospital, but about Yan Jiefang."

"I'm a father too, and I completely understand how you feel right now. The son you raised with so much difficulty has become someone else's without a word. No one would accept this."

"But your son has already married my woman. There's no way I'm going to let them divorce. I hope you can understand my feelings as a father."
