Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Jie Cheng, why are you here?!" Just when Yan Bugui was in a daze, the third aunt's questioning voice rang in the ears of both of them.

Yan Bugui came back to his senses and said, "He came to inform us about the wedding this Sunday."

The third aunt was stunned for a moment and complained: "Why are you getting married so suddenly? Why didn't you bring the girl home in advance so that we can see her." Then she asked: "Where is the girl from?! What does she look like?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "That woman is from the same village as Qin Huairu."

"What?!" The third aunt's face changed instantly, and she said angrily: "Why did you look for a woman from Qinjiazhuang instead of looking for a woman from other places?! Do you know the details of that girl?! Are you in a hurry to get married?!"

Yan Jiecheng said: "The girl's name is Qin Jingru."

Yan Jiekuang, who was drinking porridge, almost spit out the porridge when he heard the words "Qin Jingru". Yan Jiekuang put down his chopsticks, walked to the kitchen door, leaned against the door frame, looked at Yan Jiecheng and said, "Brother, your new partner is not Qin Huairu's cousin, right?!"

"What?!" Yan Bugui and the third aunt were both surprised and turned to look at Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng was frightened by the look in his parents' eyes. Yan Jiecheng asked with a trembling voice: "Jie Kuang, how did you know?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "I know as much as you do." Then he asked, "How did you get to know her?!"

Yan Jiecheng said: "She got lost on the road. I led her there. We got to know each other after a while. We became good friends later."

Yan Jiekuang said coldly: "Brother, Qin Jingru is much younger than you. Is her family willing to marry her to you?!"

Yan Jiecheng said: "Who made me offer such a high gift?! Her family disagreed at first. I said I was willing to give a gift of 100 yuan. Her parents agreed."

Yan Bugui asked: "How old is she?!"

Yan Jiecheng replied, "31." Then he added, "She was married before, but the man was unlucky. He died in a mine accident while digging coal. Qin Jingru was young at the time and had no children with the man. In addition, her husband's family wanted to take her husband's pension, so they drove her back to her parents' home. Her parents were willing to support her. But her brother and younger brother didn't want to see her stay at home. They wanted to find her a husband. But she didn't want to."

Yan Jiekuang asked: "You are married. What about Daya?!"

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Bugui, the third aunt, and Yan Jiekuang as if it was a matter of course, and said, "Isn't she living well here?!"

"Okay!" Yan Jiekuang finally understood. Not only did Yan Jiekuang understand, but Yan Bugui and the third aunt also understood. Yan Bugui said, "You are really promising! People say that when you get a wife, you forget your mother. You are abandoning your daughter now that you have a wife." Yan Bugui looked around and saw a broom leaning against the wall. Yan Bugui ran to the broom, picked up the broom and rushed towards Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng saw that the situation was not right, so he ran out. Although Yan Bugui was old, his legs and feet were still very agile. Just when Yan Jiecheng was about to open the door, Yan Bugui chased after him, waving the broom in his hand and hitting Yan Jiecheng on the head and body.

Yan Jiecheng dodged and shouted, "Dad! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Isn't it okay that I was wrong?!" As he said that, Yan Jiecheng opened the door and rushed out.

Yan Bugui was leaning on a broom, panting, looking at Yan Jiecheng's back and muttering, "You little bastard, you're lucky this time! Next time I meet you, I will definitely skin you alive!" Yan Bugui turned around and was about to enter the door when he saw Yan Xuehong standing behind him, looking at him.

Yan Bugui walked to Yan Xuehong, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Don't cry, girl. Your father doesn't care about you. As your grandfather, I will definitely take care of you."

Yan Xuehong replied: "Grandpa, ever since my father left me to you, I have regarded my father as dead."

It is said that there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. To hear such words from a teenage girl, Yan Bugui knew that Yan Jiecheng had completely broken her heart. Yan Bugui said, "Daya, we will not care about him anymore."

Su Zihui walked behind Yan Xuehong and said, "Daya, your uncle and aunt are here. Don't think too much."

"Third Aunt!" Yan Xuehong threw herself into Su Zihui's arms and couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

After Yan Jiecheng left Shajing Hutong, he did not stay outside for long and went straight back to the tube building assigned to him by the unit. After entering the house, Yan Jiecheng saw Qin Jingru tidying up the house and could not help asking, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?!"

Qin Jingru replied: "After you left, I couldn't sleep without you by my side." Then she asked: "What did your parents say?!"

Yan Jiecheng said angrily: "What else can I say?! They kicked me out of my house."

Qin Jingru asked: "Your parents don't agree with us?!"

Yan Jiecheng replied: "What does our matter have to do with them?! After all, the culprit is your sister Qin Huairu. If she hadn't been disgraced, you wouldn't have been implicated."

Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment and said, "What does this have to do with her, Qin Huairu?!"

Yan Jiecheng seemed to have found an outlet to vent his anger, and angrily said, "How come it has nothing to do with her?!" Then Yan Jiecheng told Qin Jingru everything he knew about Qin Huairu. After Qin Jingru heard Yan Jiecheng's narration, her face changed completely.

Qin Jingru was no pushover either, and quickly agreed, "Everyone in the village says that she has a hard time. Who would have thought it was actually this difficult?! When I return to the village, I will definitely help promote her."

After hearing what Qin Jingru said, Yan Jiecheng smiled and walked up to her, hugged her in his arms, and said, "I knew you were different from her."

Qin Jingru smiled and rested her head on Yan Jiecheng's chest, saying, "Brother Jiecheng, no matter what, they are our elders. It is said that fathers and sons do not hold grudges overnight. Your father's anger should have subsided by tomorrow. Let's buy some things, go to their house and apologize, and then the matter will be over."

Yan Jiecheng replied: "I won't indulge them! You want me to bow my head? No way."

Qin Jingru actually didn't want to deal with Yan Jiecheng's parents. Since she had said so much, if Yan Jiecheng didn't agree, it couldn't be her fault.

Yan Jiecheng continued, "I'm taking the night bus tomorrow. I have nothing to do during the day. I'll go home with you first and give the betrothal gift to your parents."

"Hey!" Qin Jingru responded with a smile.

Yan Jiecheng was instantly attracted by Qin Jingru's smile, and suddenly had an urge to transform into a wolf. But after about seven or eight minutes, Yan Jiecheng came back to his senses, coughed twice, relieved a little embarrassment, and said: "I will take you home tomorrow morning. You can get the letter of introduction, and we will go to get the certificate in the afternoon."

Qin Jingru asked again tentatively: "You really don't need to inform your parents and siblings about our marriage?!"

Yan Jiecheng replied: "I have just told them about my marriage. I have also told them the date and location. It is their business whether they come or not. It has nothing to do with us! We just need to live our own lives well."
