The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Chapter 637 A Farce

As the days passed, unlike the previous calm, the courtyard began to show signs of trouble again.

On a hot evening, Yan Jiefang came back from outside, exhausted.

Yan Bugui was guarding the gate of the courtyard at this time. Yan Jiefang, who was passing by, didn't even look at him and walked straight into the courtyard.

"Look, this is the character. The second uncle really didn't say anything nonsense. This kid is really rude."

Some middle-aged women gathered in the front yard and happened to see the scene between Yan's father and son. They immediately started pointing fingers at Yan Jiefang.

"Yes, he is a real piece of shit. I heard that he got into a conflict because he was not happy that the second uncle only found a job for the eldest son and didn't find one for him."

An old lady who lived in the front yard was muttering quietly.

It was just a whispered conversation in their eyes, but the truth was transmitted far away, and Yan Jiefang clearly heard what they were discussing.

Yan Jiefang, who had been tired from carrying heavy bags at the grain station all day, was thinking of going back to take a shower and wait for dinner, but when he heard someone talking about him like this, he immediately became furious.

Walk quickly towards those gossiping aunties.

"Aunts, how have I offended you that you say this?"

Even though Yan Jiefang was angry, he did not lose his temper, but asked the other party softly.

Several middle-aged ladies looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect that the person concerned would hear them talking about others behind their backs.

The middle-aged woman who had just spoken had a slightly embarrassed look on her face, but she still held her neck tight, not to be outdone by Yan Jiefang.

"What's the point of offending or not? This is your problem. I heard that your father works so hard to support the family, but you want to just lie down at home. I tell you, this is ruining the atmosphere of our hospital. Even if you go to the street office, you are not in the right."

Yan Jiefang looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him with a confused look on his face. She seemed to be getting more and more excited as she spoke. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that she was here to cause trouble, so why was she being lectured?

"No, when did I say that?"

Yan Jiefang asked with a bewildered look on his face.

"Humph, don't lie to me. When you and your father were arguing a few days ago, I was standing in the yard and heard it clearly. Even if you didn't do it, you must have thought about it."

Yan Jiefang was really going crazy now. He just threatened his own father, but he was brought up by others. He was really unlucky.

In fact, Yan Jiefang had considered it, but when Yan Bugui saw that he had not gone out for two days of rest, he immediately asked him to pay his food expenses once a week, and he had to pay it in advance. If he didn't pay on any day, he would not even be able to eat.

Yan Bugui was really capable of doing such a thing. Out of desperation, Yan Jiefang could only get up early and go to bed late every day. He would run to the grain station early in the morning, waiting to see when porters were needed, earning only a few cents.

"What do you know? Do you want to take care of our family affairs?"

Yan Jiefang roared at the other party.

"What's going on, Jiefang? Why are you arguing with someone?"

Yan Bugui, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard, heard his roar and looked over quickly. After finding that it was Yan Jiefang, he shouted towards them.

"Uncle, I think your second son is useless. He really doesn't know anything."

The aunt who had just lectured Yan Jiefang spoke in a sarcastic tone, and almost embarrassed Yan Bugui.

After all, for Yan Bugui, who has been teaching all his life, nothing is more important than his face.

If there is, it is the result of the education of the children below.

But it is obvious that today, both of these aspects are being trampled upon.

"If you don't apologize to your aunt, I'll show you how I'll deal with you when I get back."

Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiefang fiercely, and then spoke to him with an apologetic look on his face.

"The child is still young, please forgive me."

"Why? If you knew how I live at home, you wouldn't say that to me."

As soon as Yan Jiefang said this, Yan Bugui's face changed immediately, and the people watching the show in the courtyard brightened up, thinking that there was going to be a good show.

Before Yan Bugui could stop him, Yan Jiefang started talking about how Yan Bugui managed the household.

"At the Yan family, you have to pay for meals."

“Isn’t this what should be done?”

Someone interrupted Yan Jiefang.

Yan Jiefang had no intention of answering, but continued speaking.

"You have to pay rent to live at home. That's why my eldest brother and his wife tried their best to move out. They said that if they continue to live like this, they might not even dare to have children now."

"After all, even if I give birth to the baby, I can't afford to raise it."

"Then, my father has an account book that records all of our expenses from childhood to adulthood. Not a penny is missing. We have to pay back all of these, and we have to pay interest on them."

At the end, Yan Jiefang shouted to everyone with a sense of satisfaction, "Why don't you take care of this matter? If you can't, then don't worry about it."

At this time, Yan Bugui's face had turned as dark as liver. If there hadn't been so many people in the front yard, he would have still saved some face and planned to pretend to faint and escape.

"Tsk tsk, I originally thought that the second uncle was stingy and calculating, but after all, it was to supplement the family income, so this was understandable. But I didn't expect that he would be even more ruthless to his sons."

Xu Damao had just returned and listened to Yan Jiefang's entire narration, then spoke while shaking his head.

"It will take a lifetime to pay it back."

"Stop talking too much."

Li Guihua, who was next to Xu Damao, quickly pulled him back and stopped him from continuing.

"Well, well, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"I will never say anything nonsense again and will not care about your family's affairs anymore."

The aunt, who had been so righteous at first, suddenly became wilted and didn't dare to stand in the yard any longer. After apologizing to Yan Jiefang, she ran away in a hurry.

"Alright, alright, this is Old Yan's family affair, don't meddle in it, just let him handle it behind closed doors."

Finally, it was Yi Zhonghai who stood up and said a few fair words. Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai walked up to Yan Jiefang and said with a look of regret: "Jiefang, your father has had a hard time too. How could you... Alas."

In the end, Yi Zhonghai didn't say what he wanted to say and could only leave helplessly.

What Yi Zhonghai wanted to say was naturally that one should not contradict elders. Even if Yan Bugui did something wrong, Yan Jiefang would not embarrass Yan Bugui in public.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't want to take care of too many things in the hospital now, so after thinking for a moment, he didn't say it out loud.

"Really, Old Yan, I've already told you that a good son is born under the stick, but you still can't understand."

Liu Haizhong shook his head and walked away with a look of confusion.

Yan Jiefang stiffened his neck and looked at everyone, some who understood him and some who didn't.

"Alright, alright, go home quickly, you still want to embarrass yourself, don't you?"

Yan Bugui snorted coldly, shouted something at Yan Jiefang, then turned and left, not even guarding the gate.

Finally, this matter ended in a farce
