Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

He was slapped into a pulp and utterly disgraced in his old age.

That's worse than death, who wouldn't be afraid?

Master Huo felt the same way.

Seeing his impatient behavior, Yang Jianguo did not stop him. He stepped forward, opened the metal cabinet, and took out a stack of documents.

These were the summaries he and Xiang Shaodong had made before. He placed them in front of Master Huo and said, "Okay, take a look at this first."

Master Huo picked it up and was about to flip through it when Yang Jianguo smiled and said, "No rush, let me have my secretary take you to your dormitory first."

"Take these with you and take a look. Just don't lose them."

Upon hearing this, Master Huo said seriously, "That's definitely not possible. I know the rules."

Yang Jianguo asked someone to take Master Huo to his dormitory first, while he pondered where to settle these people later.

It wouldn't be a good idea to keep them all in the company dormitory.

This dormitory, though called a dormitory, is actually just a temporary guesthouse, suitable for people who come to do business or are temporarily transferred to stay for a short period.

If we're all staying here long-term, where will we stay when we come back to study, take exams, or conduct business?

We still need to go to the logistics department to find a few rooms outside.

Yang Jianguo has poached quite a few people this time; they'll all need to be put in charge when they arrive.

With everyone crammed into the office, the logistics director is the one left clueless when things get complicated.

In the compound, the workers had all gone to work, leaving behind some children on holiday, as well as the elderly, women, and children.

Of course, there's also Yan Bugui, whose work was halted.

The room was filled with gloom. Old Man Yan lay on the bed without saying a word, while Aunt Yan sighed and lamented.

"Sigh...sigh...sigh..." Old Yan kept sighing and groaning all morning.

"Alright, stop sighing. What's the point of you sighing like that all the time?"

Yan Laokou turned away impatiently, rested his head on his arm, and stared at her.

Hearing his impatience, Aunt Yan's anger flared up as well.

"Hey, you're in this state, what's wrong with me sighing a couple of times?"

"I'm so suffocated, you're trying to suffocate me if I don't let out a sigh!"

Old Yan sat up abruptly and shouted, "You're the only one who's feeling aggrieved and miserable, while I'm feeling good, huh?"

"If I lose my job and become a laughingstock, that's me. What does it have to do with you?"

Aunt Yan was displeased and replied, "Oh, so you're not upset that you lost your job? Should I celebrate with drums and gongs for you?"

"How about I go out and buy another bottle of wine, and I'll treat you to a couple of drinks?"

What kind of talk is this? He's the one who's upset about losing his job, but I'm not part of this family.

Our family doesn't need to eat or drink; we can just hang our mouths up and starve.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Old Man Yan asked, his face turning red with frustration.

He knew exactly what his wife meant; she was forcing him to comply and apologize to her!

After decades of marriage, who can't understand the other's thoughts?

One look, and everything is understood without a word.

But he couldn't bring himself to bow down and admit his mistakes to the two younger generation.

Besides, who is Sha Zhu?

That guy's an idiot, why would he apologize to him himself?

It's out.

Does Yan Bugui still care about his reputation and face?

"What do you want? Do you even think you have any dignity left?"

"The school suspended him, and his salary has been stopped. He's just lying in bed complaining to me."

"If you can go back to teaching, then you'll be truly capable, responsible, and a real man."

“If you continue to lie here like this, not only will people outside look down on you, but I think your son and daughter will also despise you as their father.”

"You can't even handle something this small? Are you even a man?"

Chapter 304 Yan Bugui begs for mercy, Ran Qiuye softens her heart

After being scolded by his wife, Yan Bugui's face fell.

Let's get down to business. Why are you bringing up manliness?

Don't you know whether I'm a man or not?!

Muttering to himself, Yan Bugui threw off the covers, put on his shoes, got out of bed, and walked outside.

"Where are you going?" Aunt Yan asked.

Yan Bugui turned around and grinned, "Go make some money for me, forget about saving face, okay?"

Seeing him lift the curtain and go out, Aunt Yan said with a face full of disgust, "You've lost all face, and you still treat it like a treasure!"

Yan Bugui paced back and forth in the courtyard.

Thoughts raced through my mind, but I couldn't make sense of them.

How could it be like this!

Yan Bugui can swear to God that he truly had no malicious intent.

At the time, it was just something I said casually when we were chatting.

How did it get out and become like this...?

Raise your hand, *slap*

Yan Bugui smacked himself on the mouth and muttered under his breath, "You're so cheeky, huh?"

It's all because of my loose tongue; if I hadn't said that, I would have gotten myself into this mess.

Doesn't it seem like nothing's wrong?

Now, not only has he offended Sha Zhu's family, but even his son looks down on him.

You said you were going to do something, but you didn't do it well, so that's it.

In the end, he even offended the person, causing him to take two punches.

If I want to ask someone to do something for me again, is there any hope left?

"Eh~" Yan Bugui felt wronged.

He was just trying to do something good, to get his grandson into a better school.

He really didn't have any bad intentions. He didn't know why his unintentional remark was spread like this.

Ringing~

The wheels rattled loudly in the potholes, and Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye returned, chatting and laughing.

The big boss isn't home today, so I just asked him to prepare two simple dishes, and then my sister-in-law told him to come home first.

Having nothing to do after leaving get off work early, Sha Zhu went to the Second Primary School first.

Pick up Xiaozhuang, then intercept his wife and Dazhuang halfway there. His son was leading his mother back on a bicycle!

"Let's stew some meat tonight, honey, I'm really craving it."

"Okay, we still have some cured meat at home, let's peel a couple of potatoes too..."

As they were talking, the two of them noticed Old Man Yan standing in the courtyard, and their faces immediately darkened.

He tried to walk forward without paying attention, but Old Man Yan stepped forward and blocked his way.

"Uncle Yan, is something the matter?" Sha Zhu stopped and looked at him with a sarcastic expression.

Old Yan's face turned red with embarrassment, but he still forced himself to say, "Zhu Zi, I know I was wrong, so I've come to apologize to you two."

"No." Sha Zhu raised his hand and said, "If you want to apologize, go to the school and say it. Don't say it to us here."

"When Qiuye went to school and told people that this was who he was, nobody believed him!"

Sha Zhu was still angry, and he wouldn't have been able to get over it either.

He was slandered at will, and his reputation was ruined.

They can just come over and say "you were wrong" and they'll forgive you.

Ouch~

Where did this saint come from? Please stretch out your right cheek so I can feel its texture.

Sha Zhu pushed the cart forward relentlessly, showing no intention of yielding to him.

Old Man Yan retreated repeatedly, finally pushing against the handlebars with both hands, saying, "Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi, listen to me."

"Teacher Ran, I really know I was wrong. I did something wrong. I apologize to you."

Seeing Yan Lao's stingy appearance, one could sense the sincerity in his words.

Ran Qiuye was a little conflicted, this...

She has a gentle personality; she gets angry quickly, but she also calms down quickly.

The anger that had been building up earlier was largely dispelled by Yan Laokou's apology.

At this moment, I was actually thinking that it was a bit too cruel to make Yan Laokou, who was so old, make a self-criticism in front of the whole school.

Sha Zhu never expected that the saint would end up being his daughter-in-law.

This left him both amused and exasperated. Seeing Ran Qiuye's soft-hearted expression, he quickly reminded her, "Qiuye, have you forgotten how the people at school spread the word?"

“If you don’t make him explain this clearly, people will talk about you behind your back for the rest of their lives.”

"Are you really willing to carry this stain for the rest of your life and let people misunderstand you?"

Seeing Sha Zhu stirring things up, Yan Laokou was furious.

Seeing that even Ran Qiuye was softening, this fool Zhu was truly despicable.

People!

“Teacher Yan.” Ran Qiuye looked up, having made up her mind: “I believe you didn’t do this on purpose, but you must clear my name.”

“Explain things clearly in front of the entire school’s teachers and students; you’re just talking nonsense.”

Ran Qiuye did give him a way out; as long as he explained things clearly, he wouldn't need to write a self-criticism.

Upon hearing her words, Yan Bugui's drowsy mind immediately cleared up.

This means that one no longer needs to admit to being a gossipy, troublemaking person.

There's a lot of room for maneuver here.

An unintentional mistake was exaggerated and absurd by those with ulterior motives, eventually leading to the situation we see today.

You can also modify what you originally said.

He didn't mean to criticize Ran Qiuye behind her back; it was simply that their interpretation was too far-fetched.

In this way, it manages to save face.

Seeing Yan Bugui's eyes darting around, Sha Zhu got a little anxious: "Qiu Ye, do you think he'll learn his lesson if you keep doing this?"

"We have to make him lose face, so he'll remember it once and for all."

Hearing that Sha Zhu was about to stir up trouble again, Yan Laokou also got anxious: "Teacher Ran, then it's settled. I'll go to the school tomorrow."

"No way, Qiuye, how can Jianguo face people if you do this?" Shazhu suddenly shouted.

This left Yan Bugui, who was planning to slip away, and Ran Qiuye, who had already made up her mind, dumbfounded.

Yes, this was decided by Uncle Yi.

If I were to forgive Yan Laokou so easily, wouldn't Jian Guo have something to say about it?
