Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

"You wretched child! You actually got a marriage certificate with a slut like Qin Huairu! Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

No sooner had Yan Bugui finished speaking than Yang Ruihua fell straight to the ground with a "bang".

"My dear!"

Yan Bugui exclaimed in surprise and immediately went forward to check.

"mom!"

Yan Jiecheng also rushed forward in a panic. Although he had grievances against Yang Ruihua, she was, after all, his mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and it was impossible for him to have no feelings for her.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng approach, Yan Bugui shoved him aside and angrily rebuked him:

"You unfilial son, get out of here!"

Yan Jiecheng glanced sharply at Yan Bugui, then didn't approach him again or say anything more.

"Honey, wake up! Don't scare me!"

Yan Bugui kept shaking Yang Ruihua, his face full of worry.

"Old Man Yan, pinch his philtrum!"

Someone said, "Pinch the philtrum," and Yan Bugui, as if grasping at a straw, immediately pinched Yang Ruihua's philtrum.

A moment later, Yang Ruihua slowly woke up.

"Yan Jiecheng, you unfilial son, go and divorce Qin Huairu right now, or I'll pretend I don't have a son like you!"

The first thing Yang Ruihua said when she woke up was to threaten her son to divorce her.

Yan Jiecheng was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Huai Ru is my wife, and it is impossible for me to divorce her."

"Fine! Fine! Yan Jiefang, from today onwards, I, Yang Ruihua, sever all ties with you as mother and son."

Yang Ruihua spoke through gritted teeth, then turned and walked towards her home.

Yan Bugui glanced at Yan Jiecheng with a look of disappointment, then followed Yang Ruihua.

As soon as Qin Huairu saw Yan Bugui and his wife leave, she immediately handed out wedding candies to everyone with a beaming smile.

"Dear uncles and aunts, I'm getting married today. Please have some wedding candy."

"congratulations!"

May you grow old together in happiness and have a baby soon!

"He who takes a gift is bound to be obliged; he who eats a meal is bound to be obliged." The neighbors, having received wedding candy, offered a few insincere blessings.

After handing out wedding candies, Qin Huairu and Yan Jiecheng ignored the neighbors' gossip and walked home together, their hearts filled with affection.

Back home, Yan Jiecheng quickly closed the door, looking impatient, and said:

"Sister Qin, now that we've got our marriage certificate, can we... you know...?"

Qin Huairu gave Yan Jiecheng a flirtatious glare and said irritably, "Are you crazy? It's broad daylight!"

Yan Jiecheng blurted out, "So what if it's during the day? There's no one else at home right now."

Qin Huairu replied without hesitation, "No, Jia Zhangshi went to buy groceries and should be back soon."

"Jiecheng, let's come again tonight. You can come as many times as you want then, I'll do whatever you want."

Yan Jiecheng said sullenly, "Alright then!"

Not long after, Jia Zhangshi returned with half a pound of meat.

Yan Jiecheng called out with a conflicted expression, "Mom, you're back?"

"My good son, Mom bought some meat. I'll show you how to cook it properly for lunch today!" Jia Zhangshi smiled broadly, her eyes practically disappearing behind her teeth.

When Yan Jiecheng heard Jia Zhangshi call him "good son," his face turned ashen, as if he were constipated, and he felt an indescribable sense of frustration.

Qin Huairu said, "We can't eat meat at noon today. We need to save the meat to eat with Xiaodang Huaihua tonight."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia was very displeased, but she said aloud:

"Huai Ru, Jie Cheng, it's your wedding day, how can we not celebrate?"

Qin Huairu glared at Jia Zhangshi and said coldly, "The celebration tonight is the same. You know our family's situation. We have to be very careful with every penny."

Madam Jia stammered, "What kind of wedding is celebrated on the night of the wedding?"

Qin Huairu was about to say something more when Yan Jiecheng interrupted, "Wife, let's eat this meat for lunch today. I'll go buy some more meat tonight."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia was overjoyed and said, "Jiecheng, you truly are my good son. You have no idea that I haven't had any meat for over half a year."

"Jiecheng, Mom's life is so hard. Every day I not only have to do laundry and cook, but I also have to paste matchboxes to earn money. If Qin Huairu is not satisfied, she will beat and scold me..."

Jia Zhangshi seemed to regard Yan Jiecheng as her own son, and kept complaining to him.

Qin Huairu's face grew colder as she listened, and she shouted angrily, "Jia Zhangshi, what's wrong with you now? Go wash the clothes! Don't you want to eat lunch?"

Madam Jia Zhang was jolted awake, instantly realizing what was happening, and said in a trembling voice:

"Huai Ru, don't be angry, I'll go do the laundry now."

Seeing Jia Zhangshi flee in disarray, Qin Huairu said gently to Yan Jiecheng:

“Jiecheng, you should know what kind of person my mother-in-law is. If you give her a little bit of sunshine, she will become radiant and might even jump on your head to poop and pee. So you must not be too nice to her.”

Yan Jiecheng nodded in deep agreement: "Wife, I've lived in this courtyard since I was a child. I know exactly what kind of person your mother-in-law is."

"To be honest, I admire you quite a bit. You actually managed to tame a shrew like Jia Zhangshi so well."

Qin Huairu said helplessly, "I have no choice. If I don't suppress Jia Zhangshi, I won't be able to live a peaceful day."

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "Understood! Then I won't give her a nice look from now on."

"To be honest, every time I hear her call me 'good son,' I feel really uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Just ignore what she said."

In the evening, Xiao Dang and Huaihua returned home from school and saw Yan Jiecheng at home, both of them at a loss.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Xiao Dang, Huaihua, from now on, Uncle Yan will be your new father. You two sisters should greet him quickly."

Xiao Dang and Huaihua looked distant, and hesitated to call him "Dad".

Qin Huairu continued, "Xiaodang, Huaihua, your new dad not only bought White Rabbit milk candy, but also meat. If you don't call out to him, he won't give you any to eat."

When Huaihua heard that there was milk candy and meat to eat, her eyes lit up, and she shouted impatiently:

"Daddy, Daddy, I want to eat meat, I want to eat White Rabbit milk candy."

Little Dang's eyes also showed longing, and he whispered, "Daddy!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng was overjoyed and said, "Oh, my good daughters, Daddy will get you candy right now."

As Yan Jiecheng spoke, he took out the package containing milk candy and gave Xiaodang and Huaihua each a handful.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua took the milk candy, eagerly unwrapped it, and started eating.

Qin Huairu said with a stern face, "Xiao Dang, Huaihua, why don't you thank your father?"

"Thank you, Dad!" x2

"You're welcome!"

Although Yan Jiecheng had a smile on his face, he thought to himself, "It seems that Xiao Dang and Huaihua are just like Banggeng, ungrateful wretches who will follow whoever feeds them."

"I must have a son with Qin Huairu as soon as possible, otherwise I won't even have someone to take care of me in my old age."

Yan Jiecheng was unaware that Qin Huairu had already had an IUD inserted, meaning he could never expect her to have a child for him.
