Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

When Yan Bugui was carrying melon seeds and peanuts home, Yan Jiecheng and others immediately surrounded him.

Yan Jiedi jumped for joy and said, "Dad, you are so awesome. The day before yesterday we had White Rabbit candy, yesterday we had cakes, and today we have melon seeds and peanuts, and it didn't cost us a penny."

Yan Bugui said with a straight face: "Keep your voice down, are there ears on the other side of the wall?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiedi quickly covered her mouth and said, "Dad, I know!"

Yan Jiefang said impatiently: "Dad, no one can hear us, let's quickly share the melon seeds and peanuts!"

Yan Bugui glared at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until your mother comes back before dividing it!"

Yan Jiecheng pouted and said, "Mom, you are such a fool. You have borrowed salt for such a long time and you still haven't returned it."

Yan Bugui asked casually, "Whose family did your mother go to borrow salt from?"

Yan Jiecheng responded: "Aunt Han's house!"

Yan Bugui frowned and asked, "Why did you go to Aunt Han's house to borrow salt again? Didn't I go to her house to borrow salt at the beginning of the month?"

Yan Jiecheng rolled his eyes and muttered, "Other companies are not willing to lend..."

Yan Jiefang said helplessly: "I guess after this, Aunt Han's family won't be willing to lend us salt anymore!"

Yan Bugui said in distress: "It seems that I will have to buy salt with my own money from now on!"

Yan Jie Di said cunningly: "You can go to Sha Zhu's house to borrow it. Anyway, he needs your help now..."

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up and he said happily, "That's right! How could I have forgotten about Sha Zhu? My daughter is really smart!"

"Squeak!"

The three aunts pushed the door open and walked in.

Yan Jiedi complained, "Mom, you came back so late, and we were waiting for you to share the melon seeds and peanuts."

The third aunt smiled and said, "Old Yan, why did you buy melon seeds and peanuts today?"

Yan Jiecheng pouted and said, "Mom, don't you know Dad's character? Do you think he would spend money to buy melon seeds and peanuts?"

The third aunt frowned when she heard this, "Old Yan, did you cheat these melon seeds and peanuts from Sha Zhu again?"

Yan Bugui said angrily: "How can this be called a lie? This is the hard work fee that Sha Zhu gave me!"

The third aunt said solemnly: "Old Yan, we don't want these melon seeds and peanuts, let's give them back to Sha Zhu!"

Yan Bugui was satisfied and surprised and asked: "Ruihua, are you sick? Why are you talking nonsense?"

"Mom, let's go to the hospital!"

The four children also didn't believe that these words came from their mother's mouth. They knew better than anyone that their mother was even more greedy than their father and loved to take advantage of others.

The third aunt said angrily, "I'm not sick, why should I go to the hospital? Sha Zhu has been promoted to deputy director of the canteen. If he knew that we cheated him, he would definitely not let us go."

Yan Bugui said without hesitation: "It's impossible. With Shazhu's stupid appearance, how could he be promoted to deputy director of the canteen? Their factory director is not crazy."

The third aunt said anxiously: "It's true, everyone who works in the steel mill said so, Liu Haizhong's mouth was crooked because of this matter."

Yan Bugui muttered to himself, "Sha Zhu was really promoted to deputy director of the cafeteria? This is too unbelievable!"

The third aunt sighed and said, "I also find this unbelievable, but this is the fact, so let's return the melon seeds and peanuts to Sha Zhu!"

Yan Bugui said coldly: "Stupid, if we return the peanuts and melon seeds to Sha Zhu now, won't everything we did before be exposed?"

The third aunt was choked up, and after a long silence, she said firmly, "Old Yan, Sha Zhu is no longer the same as he was before. We should also adjust our strategy towards Sha Zhu."

"You should sincerely introduce Ran Qiuye to Sha Zhu, and then spare no effort to make this happen. As long as they become a couple, you will be Sha Zhu's benefactor, and Sha Zhu will be grateful to us for the rest of his life."

"When the time comes, we'll ask Sha Zhu to arrange for Jie Cheng and Jie Fang to work in the steel mill kitchen. He probably won't refuse!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng was extremely excited and said, "Dad, my mom is right. Instead of embezzling Sha Zhu's small fortune, it is better to become Sha Zhu's benefactor. This way we can get more!"

Yan Bugui said quietly, "It's too late. If Sha Zhu had been promoted to deputy director of the cafeteria earlier, I would definitely not have schemed against him like this. Now we have deceived Sha Zhu time and time again. When he finds out, he will definitely hate us."

"What's even worse is that Yi Zhonghai knows about this, and I accepted his favor and promised not to introduce anyone to Sha Zhu. If I dare to go back on my word, he will immediately expose this matter."

"By then, I will not only have offended Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao, and Qin Huairu, but will also end up in disgrace!"

The third aunt was horrified and asked, "What should we do?"

Yan Bugui said calmly: "What else can we do? Just follow the original plan!"

The third aunt looked worried and asked, "What if Sha Zhu finds out?"

Yan Bugui said calmly: "Haven't I already talked about this question before? If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how would Sha Zhu know?"

Yan Jiecheng said anxiously, "What about my job in the cafeteria? I don't want to do odd jobs everywhere."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Don't worry, if I can fool Shazhu three or four times, I can fool him countless times."

The third aunt hesitated and said, "Old Yan, although Sha Zhu's brain is not very good, he is not a fool after all. You have used the same excuse to deceive him three or four times. If you continue to deceive him, he will inevitably find out."

Yan Bugui nodded slightly, "You are right. After using Sha Zhu to get Jie Cheng into the canteen of the steel mill, tell Sha Zhu directly that Ran Qiuye doesn't like him."

Yan Jiecheng was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Thank you, Dad!"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Xie Cheng, now that you have entered the canteen of the steel mill, you have a formal job, so shouldn't your living expenses also increase a little?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Yan Jiecheng's face froze instantly. "Dad, five dollars a month for living expenses is already my limit. No more."

Yan Bugui said with a straight face: "Jie Cheng, after you enter the steel mill, your salary will naturally increase. Isn't it natural to have more living expenses? Otherwise, what's the point of me going through so much trouble to get you into the steel mill?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his face turned pale. His father's words were obviously a threat to him. If he didn't pay more living expenses, his father would not help him.

Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

"Dad, I am your biological son. Did you send me to the steel mill just to earn more living expenses?"

Yan Bugui's face froze, then he smiled and said, "Jiecheng, you have to understand your mother and I. We have worked so hard to raise you, and we are exhausted. Now we are old, and as the eldest brother in the family, shouldn't you share some of the burden for us two old people?"

The third aunt quickly agreed, "Jiecheng, your father is right. Do you know how we have lived all these years in order to support you and your siblings?"

"Now that you are grown up and have a job, you should take on the responsibility of taking care of your younger brothers and sisters..."
