Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Yan Jiecheng said indifferently, "I don't want to waste time. I will give you one dollar and fifty cents less for living expenses next month."

Yan Bugui said sternly, "No, you must give me five dollars, or get out of the Yan family."

Yan Jiecheng laughed angrily, "Then let's split up the family!"

Yan Bugui's pupils trembled, "What? You want to split up the family? I absolutely don't agree!"

Yan Jiecheng said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter if you disagree. I will ask Director Fang from the Street Office to make the decision for me."

"By the way, let Director Fang come and judge. Which father would ask his son for accommodation fees, and which father would embezzle the money his son spent on a matchmaker?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui's face suddenly changed. If Director Fang really came to his house, he, Yan Bugui, would lose face once again. His expression was distorted as he said:

"Yan Jiecheng, do you really want to go to this extent with me over one dollar and fifty cents?"

Yan Jiecheng said with satisfaction and resentment: "Yes, you forced me to do this? This time I will never give in..."

Yang Ruihua roared, "Yan Bugui, Yan Jiecheng, have your brains been chewed by dogs? Is this the time to haggle over a dollar and a half? Shouldn't we first learn about the rumors out there?"

Yan Bugui regained his consciousness and said solemnly, "Ruihua, didn't you hear anything today?"

Yang Ruihua frowned and recalled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, it's just that everyone looked at me a little differently today."

"Oh, right, when I came back from shopping this morning, I heard Jia Zhang saying bad things about Jie Cheng to a middle-aged woman. I was so angry that I cursed at Jia Zhang for two hours."

Yan Jiecheng asked anxiously, "Do you know that middle-aged woman?"

Yang Ruihua shook his head and said, "I don't know him. He's probably not from our area."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng's face changed drastically and he said angrily, "Mom, you ruined my plan. That middle-aged woman must be Yu Li's mother. She came to the compound specifically to learn about my situation. No wonder Yu Li missed her appointment at noon..."

Yan Bugui also glared at Yang Ruihua and cursed: "Yang Ruihua, do you have a pig's brain? Don't you think about why a stranger would ask about Jie Cheng's situation?"

Yang Ruihua's expression was dull. "I didn't know she was asking about Jie Cheng's situation!"

Yan Bugui said angrily, "You are so stupid that there is no cure. Don't you think that if the middle-aged woman didn't ask, would Jia Zhang say bad things about Jie Cheng in front of her? Is she crazy?"

Yang Ruihua said embarrassedly: "I was just angry at the time and didn't think too much about it."

Yan Jiecheng's heart instantly sank to the bottom, and he roared hysterically: "Jia Zhang, I'm going to fuck your eight generations of ancestors, I'm going to beat you to death!"

Yan Jiecheng's face turned pale. He stood up suddenly and said he was going to fight Jia Zhang to the death.

Yan Bugui said urgently: "Jiecheng, wait!"

Yan Jiecheng stared at Yan Bugui with red eyes and said in a resolute voice: "Dad, you don't need to persuade me. I must beat up that old hag, otherwise I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart."

Yan Bugui said with a look of disappointment: "Yan Jiecheng, how old are you? Why are you still so reckless? Have you ever thought about why the other party came to inquire about your situation?"

"Also, Matchmaker Wang said that our family's reputation is ruined. Do you know why?"

Yan Jiecheng said with a look of ridicule: "What other reason could there be? The fact that you deceived Sha Zhu and blackmailed the elementary school students has been exposed!"

Yan Bugui was so angry that he cursed: "Fool, what you said can only ruin my reputation. What they said is that our whole family's reputation has been ruined."

Yan Jiecheng paused and murmured, "Why is this?"

Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment and said in a serious tone, "Someone must be spreading rumors about our family. Ruihua, go and find out from your old sisters immediately."

Yang Ruihua knew the seriousness of the matter, and without any hesitation, he turned around and walked out the door.

Less than ten minutes later, Yang Ruihua came back angrily, and said anxiously, "Old Yan, you guessed right. There are rumors about our family spreading like wildfire again."

Yan Jiecheng couldn't wait to ask, "Is that how it was spread?"

Yang Ruihua looked as ugly as if he had eaten feces, and trembled: "It is said that in order to save the betrothal gift, our family plans to marry only one daughter-in-law for each of our three sons, and then share the wife..."

"She also said that we would raise Yan Jie Di until she was ten years old and then sell her to someone else as a child bride in exchange for money. She also said that you and your three sons were having an affair with Qin Huairu, and she also said..."

"Snapped!"

Yan Bugui slammed the table and roared like thunder: "Stop talking. Who is that damned bastard who spread the rumor?"

Yan Jiecheng was instantly disheartened and said hesitantly, "If this continues, I will be hated by everyone. Who would be willing to marry me?"

Yang Ruihua said anxiously, "Old Yan, you need to think of a solution quickly. If we allow the rumors to spread, we will be despised by everyone."

Yan Bugui's face was full of anger, his brows were furrowed, and he sighed, "Rumors are not that easy to dispel. The most important thing now is to find out who is spreading rumors about our family."

Yan Jiecheng came back to his senses from his trance, his eyes were red with anger as he said, "Who else could it be? It must be that old woman Jia Zhang. I beat her up last night, and she was forced to pay five yuan for medical expenses. This is naked revenge on her part."

Yan Bugui frowned and said, "Jie Cheng, calm down. It is impossible that Jia Zhang did this. The rumor has spread so widely. The person behind it has been spreading the rumor since at least yesterday."

"Jia Zhang was only released from prison yesterday, and last night she was in the hospital taking care of Bang Geng. She had no time to commit the crime."

Yan Jiecheng asked angrily: "Who could that be?"

A light flashed through Yang Ruihua's mind, and he blurted out, "It's Liu Haizhong."

Yan Bugui raised his eyes slightly and nodded heavily, "Yes, it can only be Liu Haizhong. Because of Yi Zhonghai's betrayal, Liu Haizhong learned that I also participated in spreading rumors about his wife. He is taking revenge on me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng was like an angry lion, gritting his teeth and saying, "I will go and seek revenge on Liu Haizhong right now."

Yan Bugui said sternly, "Stop, there is no evidence, Liu Haizhong will not admit it."

Yan Jiecheng said coldly: "I don't care whether he admits it or not, I'll beat him first."

Yan Bugui held his forehead helplessly and said, "Fight? Can you win? Liu Haizhong and his three sons are all tall and strong. You will only suffer if you go over like this."

Yan Jiecheng clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with anger, "I will fight even if I can't win. I will fight Liu Haizhong to the death..."

Yan Bugui scolded: "You know you can't win but you still rush forward. This is not bravery, but stupidity..."

Yan Jiecheng was furious and said, "Yan Bugui, that's enough. It's all because of you. If you hadn't plotted against Liu Haizhong, would Liu Haizhong have retaliated against our family? Would I not be able to get married?"

"Asshole... Asshole, what are you talking about?"

Yan Bugui was so angry that he covered his chest with his hands, looking in pain.
