Siheyuan: Sending my younger brother to the countryside to raise pigs

Although the third aunt didn't know what happened exactly, it was not difficult to guess what happened from the quarrel between the old man and the eldest daughter-in-law.

The old man asked his eldest son for medical expenses. Not only did he write an IOU, but the price also seemed to be inflated, otherwise he wouldn't have made his eldest daughter-in-law so angry.

This old guy is really calculating. He just thinks the boss is honest.

The boss doesn’t even have a proper job now, where will he get the money to pay off his debts?

No wonder Yu Li was so upset.

The three aunts just felt ashamed.

After his daughter and younger son went out, he patted Yan Fugui's arm.

"Okay, stop pretending, everyone has left."

Yan Fugui opened his eyes, looked around, and confirmed that the three aunts were the only ones in the room. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from his chair.

The third aunt said with disdain: "You are really something. You pretended to faint after being scolded by your daughter-in-law. I am afraid there is no one like you in the whole city of Beijing. I feel ashamed for you."

Yan Fugui was already very upset, and hearing these words was like rubbing salt into his wounds, and he immediately became unhappy.

"That's just a woman's opinion. What do you know? This is called strategy. If I hadn't pretended to be unconscious, the yard would have been filled with people watching my joke."

Yan Fugui stood up. After arguing for a long time, his throat was sore. He walked to the table in the middle of the living room, poured himself a glass of water and started drinking.

When you are finished, put the cup back on the table.

Recalling the way Yu Li jumped up and down and scolded him, Yan Fugui gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise. As expected, the ancients were not deceiving me."

The third aunt rolled her eyes at him, "You are so easy to raise? Is your mother not a human? Be careful, your mother will come to you in your dreams tonight."

Yan Fugui shuddered, glared at the third aunt, and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Can you control your mouth? You say whatever you want, and you don't feel scared."

"Are you scared now? Let me ask you, did you ask the boss to write you an IOU?"

"So what? Shouldn't he? He's married now, and he relies on his family for everything. Do you think I should pay for his medical expenses?"

They are an old couple now, and Auntie knows Yan Fugui's character very well. She has never doubted that he would ask his eldest son to write an IOU. After all, it is not the first time.

I've never seen the eldest brother's wife make a scene before. At most, she would just frown and express her dissatisfaction. But this time...

"How much did you sign?"

Yan Fugui felt a little guilty, "Not much either."

"How much is not much?"

Facing the aggressive attitude of the third aunt, Yan Fugui was a little annoyed, "What are you doing? Are you trying to force a confession through torture? It is only natural to pay back a debt. Is it wrong for me to ask the eldest brother to write an IOU?"

"I didn't say you were wrong. I just wanted to ask you, how much did the boss write you on the IOU? Why are you so anxious? Was it ten dollars?"

At this point, there is no point in quibbling.

Yan Fugui could only nod reluctantly.

Seeing Yan Fugui admit it, the three aunts were so angry that they laughed.

She said, when did the father and son become so harmonious.

No wonder the eldest son’s wife was so angry. Not only was she angry, I was also angry when I heard it.

The medical expenses were only two or three dollars, but he asked his son for ten dollars. This is not the way to fleece the sheep. He is stripping them of their skin.

The third aunt put her hands on her hips, sneered angrily, squinted her eyes, and two beams of light came through the slits of her eyes.

"Haha, you deserve to be scolded. If I were the eldest brother's wife, I would scold you too, and even more harshly than she did. You are the worst person to scheme against your son. You really deserve the reputation of being stingy, Old Yan. The eldest brother doesn't even have a proper job now, how can you ask him to pay it back?"

Yan Fugui felt ashamed after being scolded. He was angry but also a little unconvinced.

He is the head of the family, and everything he does is justified. How could he allow the old woman to scold him like this?

"Just because I don't have a job now doesn't mean I won't have a job in the future. We've been married for so many years, but you still don't understand me. It's so sad. Don't you really understand why I do this?"

The third aunt frowned and looked at Yan Fugui with disbelief.

Yan Fugui said righteously: "I am doing this for the sake of this family and for the good of the eldest brother. I am urging the eldest brother to make progress. If they just eat and wait for death all day long and don't have some pressure, what will they do when we are old?"

"Why do I not believe it so much?"

Don’t say you don’t believe it, I don’t fucking believe it myself.

But we cannot weaken our momentum at this time. Whoever is weak will lose.

This is the experience Yan Fugui summed up after decades of struggle with his wife.

When a couple lives with each other, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

Yan Fugui pretended to be angry and said: "Women are long-haired but short-sighted. They focus on those trivial things all day long. You should have a big picture view. It's right for you not to believe it. If you believe it, you should be the head of this family."

The three aunts were almost confused by him.

Looking at Yan Fugui's righteous expression, his momentum weakened, and he even began to doubt in his heart, could it be that he was really trying to urge the boss?

Seeing that his plan was about to succeed, Yan Fugui continued, "The eldest brother is our son. Can I really ask him for money? Didn't you see that the eldest brother has become more diligent? This is the evidence."

The three aunts couldn't argue with Yan Fugui.

I clearly felt that he was quibbling, but I couldn't find any reason to refute him.

However, if you really want to encourage the boss to make progress, it is a good idea.

"Okay, you have short hair, but you are knowledgeable. I can't argue with you. Where was your momentum in the yard just now? You even pretended to faint because of the anger of the eldest brother's wife."

It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.

Wasn’t he so angry that his head was stuck in the yard just now?

Yu Li is such a shrew. If I had known she was like this, I shouldn’t have let her in.

"This is a strategy, you don't understand. She's a woman, and she's a junior, how can I really argue with her? It's really outrageous. No one in this family can understand me. I support the whole family by myself, is it easy for me?"

It is said that eating people is short-tongued and soft-handed when taking advantage of others.

This also applies to our own family.

Yan Fugui knew this well. As long as the last sentence was uttered, the three aunts would surely stop and be defeated.

Sure enough, it was just as Yan Fugui expected.

The three aunts surrendered, "Okay, okay, you've worked hard, and you're right. What are you going to do with the IOU?"

"I've already told you that this is a ploy, a spur, so just ignore it and do what you need to do. They say a loving mother brings many children. I think you are a stumbling block on the children's path to growth."

"Just you!"

The third aunt glared at Yan Fugui, ran away, and went back to the house to do her work.

Seeing the person leave, Yan Fugui breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a big gulp.

You are too young to fight with me.

He took out the IOU from his pocket, and his old face suddenly lit up with joy.

This is money. Your retirement will depend on it, so you must keep it well.
