Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

"You have to use your brain to teach students. You should give your father more advice."

The third aunt turned her head away, gritted her teeth, and tried to explain.

"By the way, the coal at home is almost gone. Dad told you this morning to go to the uncle's house and borrow some more."

Yan Jiecheng didn't seem to notice anything unusual about his mother, and continued speaking.

"Well, I understand.

Don't worry about adults' affairs, just do your homework."

The third aunt said words of comfort, but her expression was very stiff.

It would be fine if the child was ignorant and urged her to go to Yi Zhonghai's house to borrow things, but how could Yan Bugui, an adult, be ignorant?

An old lady just helped the Yan family yesterday. If they go there again today, it would be considered as taking advantage of the situation and being ungrateful.

The third aunt didn't want to ruin her friendship with the first aunt and her friends over a few supplies.

After sending the four children back to their room, the third aunt went to the stove and began to prepare dinner.

After the third aunt was released from prison, Yan Bugui and the children never did housework again.

All the household affairs fell on the shoulders of Aunt Three.

Moreover, there will be no reduction in the tax just because the three aunts go out to find jobs.

After the steamed steamed buns were ready, the three aunts had some free time to sit down and rest for a while.

After running around all day, the little food in my stomach had been completely digested.

At this time, the three aunts were hungry, tired, and a little dizzy.

After sitting for only a moment, Yan Bugui pushed the door open and walked in.

Yan Bugui took off his coat when he got home, handed the aluminum lunch box to Auntie No. 3, and said, "Wash the lunch box."

"Oh."

The third aunt stood up mechanically, took the empty lunch box handed to her by her husband, and prepared to wash it at the stove.

Although she encountered many bad things today, the third aunt still worked hard for the livelihood of the whole family without any complaints.

The third aunt did not complain, but Yan Bugui, who was sitting on the stool, started to complain.

"Why did you run so fast this morning? You didn't even prepare the lunch box for me first. I had to do it myself. What a shame."

Yan Bugui poured himself a glass of water and took a sip leisurely, as if he were an old man from a wealthy family.

In contrast, the busy three aunts are like maids in a wealthy family, being ordered around and bossed around.

"Well, I see."

The third aunt complained in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface and responded lightly.

"By the way, the coal at home is almost used up. Didn't I ask you to go to Yi Zhonghai's house to borrow some?

Why haven’t you gone yet?”

Yan Bugui glanced at the empty coal mine and asked with a frown.

The third aunt's breathing became noticeably heavier, and the movement of wiping the lunch box became slower. Her numb and empty eyeballs moved around like a volcano that was accumulating magma and could erupt at any time.

"I'm asking you something."

Seeing that the third aunt didn't move, Yan Bugui asked in a cold voice.

"I won't go. I already went to borrow something yesterday. How can I have the nerve to ask someone to borrow something again?"

The third aunt gritted her teeth and refused.

“What’s there to be embarrassed about?

I went to Yi Zhonghai’s house to borrow money yesterday, and today I’m going to Liu Haizhong’s house to borrow money.

Didn’t Second Aunt also send you something last night?

Go talk to her, she will definitely help you."

Yan Bugui said indifferently.

The third aunt slammed the lunch box on the stove, making a crisp "bang" sound, then turned to Yan Bugui and said angrily: "If you want to go, go. I'm not going anyway."

"Hey~"

Yan Bugui stood up straight, holding the water cup and said: "What happened today? Are you angry? I just asked you to borrow something, is it that serious?"

Yan Bugui didn't understand that his indifferent attitude was what annoyed Third Aunt the most.

"Borrow something?

Just for that little thing, why should I risk my life to borrow from other people?

If you have the guts, can't you just take out the money and buy it yourself?!"

The third aunt's eyes turned red, she was angry and humiliated, and she yelled at Yan Bugui.

“What are you talking about.

If you have money at home, do you still need to go out and borrow money?

You have shame, but I don't! "

Yan Bugui slammed the table and retorted immediately.

"Yan Bugui, you bastard, I haven't had a good life since I married you.

I work hard every day and serve your family.

What about you?

Not only did he squander all his money, but he also lost all my dowry.

Why? You didn't even ask me at the time, why did you touch my money? "

Adults often collapse in just a moment. At this moment, the third aunt, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally exploded and loudly criticized Yan Bugui's mistakes.

The third aunt suddenly got angry and scolded Yan Bugui so much that he was a little confused. When he came to his senses, he was immediately furious and stood up and said sternly: "Shut up, I did that for my family.

It's just a little bit of your money, no big deal.

Besides, I work hard outside every day to support a big family.

I asked you to do something, but you refused and now you blame me!"

Yan Bugui knew that he was in the wrong about losing all his wife's dowry, so he quickly changed the subject and talked about other things.

“I complain?

Shouldn't I complain?

You are a useless and stingy person!

Why are you unwilling to pay a little more money? Why do you have to focus on that little bit of interest?

Our family is in such a mess, why don’t you think of a solution?

Look around, there is no family in the courtyard as miserable as us."

As the third aunt spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and her voice became tearful.

She suffered so much in prison and was scolded by her husband when she returned home. It seemed as if everyone in the world was against her and she couldn't live like this.

What men can't stand most is being told that they are useless.

Yan Bugui almost lost his mind and protested loudly: "Didn't I tell you? Don't just focus on the present, think about the future.

We need to save money quickly, otherwise what are we going to do for our four children’s education?”

"Stop talking nonsense, you are just stingy, you are mean, and you just don't want to pay.

The four of them still have some time before they can go on to higher education.

Besides, given their current state, it would be a wonder if they could pass the exam."

The third aunt ruthlessly pulled off Yan Bugui's fig leaf.

Talking about the future is all nonsense. We can't even make ends meet now, so there's no such thing as a future.

The four children were so hungry that they were listless every day and had no interest in studying. Their grades also dropped all the way and fell to the bottom of the class.

Under this situation, let alone further studies, it becomes a problem whether one can complete the current stage of studies.

"Snapped!"

After his secret was exposed, Yan Bugui completely lost his mind. Since he couldn't win over the third aunt with words, he just took action and slapped her in the face.

The three aunts’ accusation was forcibly terminated.

"It's all because of you, you gave birth to these four little bastards.

Look at the good son you gave birth to, but he didn't learn the good things and instead learned the bad things. He even went to his neighbor's house to steal things, making me the laughing stock of all the neighbors in the yard.

How did you give birth to such a thing? It's all your fault!"

Yan Bugui grabbed the third aunt's hair and roared in her ear.

Yan Jiecheng was so hungry that he had no intention of doing his homework and just kept slacking off in his seat. When he heard his parents arguing, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

They clearly didn't do anything, so why is this blamed on them?
