Comfortable life in Siheyuan

"Boss, you've really grown powerful now. Since you want to divide the family, do you plan to rely on your father-in-law and become a live-in son-in-law?" the third uncle sneered.

"It's not impossible. At worst, after I give birth to the child, I can just take his surname Yu. My parents can still help us raise the child." Yu Li said unconvinced.

"Jiecheng, do you think so too?" The third uncle didn't look at Yu Li, but turned to ask Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng pulled Yu Li, turned around and whispered, "Dad, don't blame Lili for this. You were the one who brought it up first. We just followed your words."

"So you want to split up the family too? What is there for you two to divide? Everything in this family was earned by me. Even if we split up, you two can just get out of here. I won't even give you a bowl!" The third uncle was also angry now.

"Then don't blame me for not recognizing you as his grandfather in the future. You are just like my second uncle, you can't even see your grandson." Yan Jiecheng said in a low voice, not daring to look into Yan Bugui's eyes.

After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, the third uncle suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"Then what do you two want to do? You are not planning to pay back the money?" Yan Bugui asked.

"Dad, I don't mean that. It's not that I won't pay you back. Lili and I just moved into a new home, and we need money everywhere. Please give us some time in the first year, and I will pay you back in the second year!" Yan Jiecheng said stubbornly, ignoring Yu Li's pulling.

Originally, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had agreed that they would not have to pay the five yuan in the first year, and would pay the five yuan in the second year, which would save them sixty yuan.

"I, your father, am not an unkind person. Since you have told me about this, I agree to it. I will consider it as a help to you and your wife. But you have to hand over five dollars of your salary every month. This payment cannot be cut off. This was agreed upon at the time." The third uncle said seriously!

"Okay, but our family has to bring some things with us. I don't have anything there, and I don't even have a place to put my clothes. I have to bring a wardrobe with me..."

The father and son sat there bargaining for a long time just like they were buying vegetables in the market, and finally decided to take those things away with them when they moved.

Back in the room, Yu Li looked at Yan Jiecheng with dissatisfaction: "What did we say at the beginning? Didn't we agree not to pay the five yuan for the first year? Why didn't you say that just now!"

"My dad won't agree to this. If we really get into a fight, it'll be embarrassing. It's better to just ask for something practical." Yan Jiecheng explained.

Yu Li got even angrier after hearing Yan Jiecheng's explanation: "You are just weak. Your father bullied you so much, but you didn't even know how to resist."

In fact, it is normal for people at this age to pay their salary to their parents after getting married, so Yu Li only thought about not having to pay in the first year after moving out. Firstly, she had to have a baby, and secondly, her small family was very poor.

Yan Jiecheng quickly comforted her: "Okay, don't be angry. I'm just thinking about our future. Besides, didn't my dad agree to give us something in the end?"

Yu Li was still unwilling to accept it: "That's too little, just a wardrobe, and some old furniture and dishes, what can I do with it?"

Yan Jiecheng said, "Don't worry, let's take it slow. Things will definitely get better in the future. When I make more money, we can buy more and better things. Besides, don't underestimate these things because they look old. If you really want to buy them, you'll have to spend a lot of money."

Yu Li sighed, "Okay, this is the only way. But you have to be tougher in the future and don't let your dad always take advantage of you."

Yan Jiecheng nodded: "I understand, wife. Don't worry, I will try my best to make you live a good life." After that, Yan Jiecheng hugged Yu Li tightly.

As soon as the third uncle entered the room, the third aunt ran over.

"What did the eldest couple say? Have they reached an agreement?" the third aunt asked anxiously.

"It's okay. We've got it settled. The money they owe you will be paid off in the first year while they look for jobs. They can start paying it back in the second year after they move in. I've taken care of it all." The third uncle said easily.

"What about the interest? If you put this money in the bank for a year, you will get a lot of interest?" It's true that people from the same family are alike. The third aunt and the third uncle both had the same intention when they spoke.

"Forget it. If we push them any further, this grandson will have to take someone else's surname. Let's just forget about the few dollars!" said the third uncle dejectedly.

"What do you mean? Is Jie Cheng still thinking of marrying into the family?" the third uncle asked in surprise.

"No, that's not the case. Your daughter-in-law just said that when she was angry. Let's just let it go. Don't make trouble anymore." The third uncle said.

The moving day soon arrived. A few days later, taking advantage of the weekend, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li called a hauler to move all the things to their new home.

"Oh! Jiecheng also got a house, congratulations!" As soon as Xu Damao arrived at the gate, he saw Yan Jiecheng and his wife tying things to the car, and asked enthusiastically.

"Thank you. Our house is small, so my new house will make room for my younger brothers and sisters." Yan Jiecheng explained with a smile.

"That's great, congratulations!" Xu Damao came back with a smile on his face.

The third uncle was standing at the door at this time, looking at the crowd who were congratulating him with a smile on his face.

"Third uncle, your Jie Cheng is really capable. He has been promoted to a regular employee and given a house. He is much better than the guy in the next yard!"

"Yes, but the couple lives far away. What if the child is born and it is inconvenient for the third aunt to take care of the child?" asked the first aunt with concern.

"Well! It's not far. It's in Jingshan area. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there. It will be even faster if you ride a bike." The third uncle said with a smile.

"That's fine, that's great. Jie Cheng can go to work and drop off his kids here on the way!" The second aunt agreed.

"Yes, we still have Jiefang and Jiekuang. From now on, our house will be too small to accommodate us. It's better to move out!"

"The eldest grandson has also moved out. Don't you miss him, Third Uncle?" Sha Zhu said in a loud voice while standing next to the hanging flower gate.

"Of course I want to, but it's not far away. Even if I want to, I can't force the child to move out. We finally got the house from the factory!" The third uncle didn't think there was anything wrong.

The second uncle and aunt beside him heard this and immediately felt it was irritating. Turning to look at Sha Zhu's playful eyes, the second uncle Liu Haizhong ran back home in anger.

In the backyard, at Liu Qingshan's house, Feng Yu asked in confusion: "Qingshan, isn't housing in short supply now? How come your factory allocated so many houses all at once? I heard that more than 30 people have been allocated houses."

Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "There are some dilapidated courtyard houses in the factory. They have been in a mess for a long time. We talked about this at the last meeting. The factory paid some money in advance to repair these houses and distributed them directly. They will pay rent every month in the future, and the money will be returned. This will benefit both parties, and the logistics of the factory will not be so stressful."

“Is their house big?”

"I heard that they are all similar, all with two rooms, one large and one small. They shouldn't be that big."
