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

Yan Jiefang despised Yan Fugui in his heart, but he still flattered him: "Yes, yes. It's all thanks to you that our family can have such a good life."

After a pause, Yan Jiefang saw the smug look on Yan Fugui's face and changed the subject, "Looking at the whole courtyard, there are not many families as prosperous as ours. But, Dad, I'm not saying this, you really have to keep my eldest brother in check. He makes so much noise all day long, and we can't let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel."

Yan Fugui's face immediately turned gloomy.

When Yan Fugui thought of Yu Li's wanton insults in the yard just now, the string in his head began to beat uncontrollably and he couldn't suppress it no matter what he did.

"What does this have to do with your eldest brother? It's all because of that woman who was too noisy. It's said that you should marry a virtuous wife. If I had known she was such a person, I would never have let her enter this house."

Yan Jiefang was stunned for a moment.

The sun really rose from the west today. The old man actually sided with the eldest brother.

It seems that the IOU for ten dollars was very powerful and it bribed the old man.

"Yes. My sister-in-law is indeed too noisy. However, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on her. If my eldest brother had not told her about this, she would not have quarreled with you."

"My eldest brother was not so obedient before. I don't know if he let it slip or if he said it on purpose for my eldest sister-in-law to hear. My eldest brother's fall was not in vain. It seems that he has really improved a lot."

Yan Jiefang has been paying attention to Yan Fugui's expression.

Sure enough, after saying these words, Yan Fugui's expression changed, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Yes, whenever I talked to the boss about something in the past, he was like a lazy donkey pulling a millstone, grinding again and again.

It was really unexpected that he agreed so readily this time, but he turned around and told Yu Li about it.

Also, his attitude towards Li is completely different now.

He knew Yu Li's character, but he let her make trouble. Could it be...

He knew he couldn't avoid the IOU issue, so he just signed it without hesitation, and then deliberately instigated Yu Li to quarrel with him?

By that time, I will be so humiliated that I might compromise, and the matter of the IOU will naturally be left unresolved.

After being guided by Yan Jiefang, Yan Fugui's thoughts surged, and soon it seemed as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened up. The things that he could not figure out before became clear in an instant.

Yan Fugui's face was gloomy, his eyes were full of anger, and he slammed the porcelain jar in his hand heavily on the table with a "bang".

Good, you are really good, you actually dared to plot against me.

I was wondering why he signed the contract so readily today and even took the initiative to go fishing. This is not fishing at all, it's clearly fishing for me.

Well done.

Yan Fugui was very angry. He was angry that he was actually plotted against by his eldest son, whom he had always looked down upon. This was a great humiliation for him.

Seeing that he had successfully provoked Yan Fugui's anger, Yan Jiefang was secretly delighted.

Recalling what he promised Yu Li, he continued, "Dad, I want you to return the IOU to my brother. My brother doesn't even have a proper job now and relies on you for food. Where can he get the money to pay you back?"

Yan Fugui cursed: "Bullshit! He is a married man, and I am lucky enough that I don't ask him to give me pension money every month. Why should I give him money?"

"I... I'm just afraid that my sister-in-law will make a fuss. If you don't return the IOU to my brother, my sister-in-law will definitely not let it go. Our family just made a fool of itself a few days ago. If this..."

Yan Jiefang stopped there.

He spoke in a tone of persuasion, like a good son who was kind to his father and filial to his son, and friendly to his brothers and respectful to his younger brothers. However, just a few words from him made Yan Fugui very angry.

Asking him to return the IOU obediently, wouldn't this make him and Yu Li give in?

cant!

Is it wrong to ask his son to write an IOU for the money he spent?

That's right!

"She's rebelling. The boss has signed, which is equivalent to admitting it. Let her make a fuss. I want to see who will be ignored in the end."

"Well, alright, I can't persuade you. My eldest brother is unemployed, and you probably won't get the money back for eight or ten years. My eldest brother has really changed a lot after the fall, and if he gets together with my eldest sister-in-law, this family will be in trouble in the future."

Yan Jiefang's desperate tone pierced Yan Fugui's heart.

Yan Fugui's face became even gloomier, his brain was spinning like smoke, and he had no idea what to do.

He is a great people's teacher and a decent one.

If his daughter-in-law catches him and scolds him every day, how can he survive if the news gets out?

"If she dares to make trouble, I will ask your brother to divorce him."

Yan Jiefang sneered, "Divorce? With my brother like this, if he really wants to divorce, will there be any woman willing to be with him? Are you planning to support him for the rest of his life? Besides, my brother treats my eldest sister-in-law as a treasure. You really can't make the decision on this matter."

Yan Fugui felt like he was about to go crazy. He had no place to vent his anger, and he even disliked Yan Jiefang, who was sitting opposite him.

"Which side are you from? Are you okay? If you are fine, get out of here right away. You are all debt collectors, and none of you are easy to deal with."

Faced with Yan Fugui's anger, Yan Jiefang was not afraid but smiled happily.

There was a sense of pride that the conspiracy was about to succeed, and I felt that it was time to bring up the matter.

"Look at you, it was your elder brother and his wife who pissed you off, why are you mad at me? Also, you said that none of us are worry-free, I don't like to hear that."

"I understand your hard work the most. Recently, the city is recruiting coal miners to go to Shanxi to dig coal. It's not a good idea to stay at home all the time. I plan to sign up to go to Shanxi to dig coal."

Yan Jiefang said it lightly, but he was actually very panicked inside.

The words just said were all instilling in Yan Fugui the idea that the eldest brother and his wife were the source of the family's troubles.

If he wants peace in his home, he must get rid of the source of the trouble.

Using himself as bait not only shows his filial piety and ambition, but also provides a solution for Yan Fugui.

He analyzed that there were three sons in the family, the third son was too young, and the two elder parents were old. The family needed a pillar, and it would be most appropriate for him to be the one who had not yet started a family.

But he was also worried that the old man would be blinded by money and order him and his eldest brother to be sent to the coal mine to make money for him. That would be like shooting himself in the foot.

Yan Jiefang looked at Yan Fugui's face, anxiously waiting for his reply.

When Yan Jiefang proposed to go dig coal, Yan Fugui's expression immediately brightened.

Coal mining?

I heard that coal miners earn as much as those working in factories.

The second son is filial and motivated. He knows how to be considerate of his father. He is not like the eldest son who is lazy and just wants to eat and wait for death.

It seems that I just blamed him wrongly.

However, I heard that coal mines are unsafe and people often cannot come out after going down.

No, the second son is not married yet and is so filial and motivated. He must have a bright future. What future can he have if he works in the coal mine?

But the opportunity is rare...

By the way, let the eldest couple go.

They are married now and should shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family. What does it look like for them to stay at home and do nothing all day?

Since they are making such a fuss, just send them away and out of sight, out of mind. And you can’t keep the money you earn for yourself, you have to hand it over.

A family of seven, three salaries, isn't that a good life?
