Siheyuan: I can integrate everything!

"But now, well, forget it, let's not talk about this, this is my fate!" After saying that, he turned and left.

Jia Dongxu knew very well that Yi Zhonghai always stood on the side of Jia Zhang and always taught him to be grateful to his parents and not to become an ungrateful person.

"Am I doing something wrong?" Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu's departing back and couldn't help thinking of what happened back then. Jia Dongxu once wanted to manage his own salary and not give it to Jia Zhangshi, so the two had a conflict. At that time, Yi Zhonghai firmly supported Jia Zhangshi and told Jia Dongxu to be filial to his mother and take care of her until the end of her life.

As a result, under his influence, Jia Dongxu's status in the Jia family became lower and lower. All his wages were handed over, and all matters were decided by Jia Zhang. Jia Dongxu was like a puppet. "I am not wrong!" Yi Zhonghai firmly believed in his heart: "Jia Dongxu must take care of his mother until her death, and his filial piety must be cultivated. As long as he is filial, everything else is irrelevant, and he must not be allowed to rebel against Jia Zhang!"

On the other side, in Wanyuan Garden, Xiaodang ran in crying.

"Xiaodang, what happened?" Wan Xingbang was very surprised.

Xiaodang burst into tears: "Wow, my brother wants to hit me, and my grandma hits me too, it hurts so much..." Xiaodang looked very sad.

Wan Xingbang understood that this was another incident of Jia Zhang's rebellion. Jia Zhang was extremely patriarchal and not only ignored Xiao Dang, but also often beat and scolded him. This was really too much. Wan Xingbang decided to find an opportunity to teach Jia Zhang a lesson.

"Xiao Cao, can you help check Xiao Dang to see if he is injured?" Wan Xingbang took out the ointment he prepared, "This is an anti-inflammatory and swelling medicine, apply some to Xiao Dang."

Xiaocao took Xiaodang into the inner room. "The Jia family is really outrageous." Shazhu, who was standing by, was also deeply dissatisfied with the Jia family's behavior. After no longer being obsessed with Qin Huairu, Shazhu saw the true face of the Jia family. He thought Jia Dongxu was too incompetent. He was obviously the pillar of the Jia family, but Jia Zhang made the family a mess.

At the gate of the courtyard, Yan Fugui was standing guard.

Liu Guangfu wandered outside, hesitating whether to go in. He had no ability to survive, and once he left the Liu family, he could only die of hunger and cold, or make a living through illegal means.

Yan Fugui saw Liu Guangfu and said, "Liu Guangfu, why don't you go home?"

"I'll be beaten when I go back." Liu Guangfu sighed. Yan Fugui was stunned for a moment.

Liu Guangqi ran away from the Liu family. I heard that his job was transferred to another place.

As for Liu Guangtian, he was sentenced and will be sent to the northwest region for labor reform. It is not known whether he has left, but it is highly likely that he will not come back.

Liu Guangfu was the only one left who didn't dare to go home. The two old people were the only ones left at home.

The Liu family was almost torn apart. "The Liu family is so miserable!"

He remembered that Wan Xingbang had talked to him about this before. Whether it was Liu Haizhong hitting someone or someone else setting up a trap, it could lead to a breakdown in the relationship between family members.

"Now that Liu Haizhong's family has fallen into such a situation, will my family be like this one day?" Yan Fugui's face turned pale instantly.

Cold sweat broke out on my body.

"Guangfu, you probably haven't eaten yet, right?"

"No, when I ran away, we didn't even have dinner."

"Well, take this fifty cents and this half pound of food coupons and fill your stomach first! Don't worry, this gift is a little token of my appreciation, you don't have to return it to me."

As he spoke, Yan Fugui took out the fifty cents and food coupons and handed them over. Liu Guangfu looked at him as if this was the first time he had encountered such kindness.

"Thank you, Third Uncle!"

Liu Guangfu's eyes were glistening with tears as he took the money and food coupons with his heart filled with gratitude.

This move even surprised Yan Fugui himself. "What did I just do? I have always been regarded as a miser, a person who never gives a penny, how could he be so generous?"

"Am I out of my mind?" Yan Fugui fell into deep self-doubt.

Although this generosity amounted to only a few cents, it caused a great shock in his heart. "I'm not crazy, I just did this because I was frightened for a moment."

"Seeing the Liu family almost in tatters, I couldn't help but worry whether my family would suffer the same fate. Perhaps that's why I was impulsive this time. After all, Liu Guangfu's situation is also very miserable."

After sighing, Yan Fugui turned and walked towards home. As it happened, Yan Jiecheng was at home.

"Jie Cheng, come and sit down, let's talk."

What Yan Fugui wanted to know was, if he treated Liu Haizhong's son the same way he treated family affection, who would be more deeply damaged in family affection? At the same time, he also wanted to know whether Yan Jiecheng was dissatisfied with him?

"Dad, I have already paid all the living expenses, accommodation fees, water and electricity bills and other expenses for this month. Now I only have eight cents left."

"Do you have to pay any other fees?" Yan Jiecheng was obviously helpless with this answer.

As an apprentice in a steel rolling mill, he only received 15 yuan a month in salary, most of which was forced upon him by Yan Fugui, so the monthly payment exceeded 10 yuan.

Adding some extra expenses, the actual monthly expenditure will basically exceed twelve yuan, and I dare not spend the remaining three yuan casually.

What's more, he had to pay extra for lunch at the factory and use food stamps, which sometimes were not enough to spend in a month.

If the money is not enough, you can only borrow from Yan Fugui, and you need to pay interest on the loan.

"No matter how close the relationship is, borrowing money is borrowing money!" This is the principle that Yan Fugui has always adhered to.

Sighing, Yan Fugui shook his head.

Through observation, he realized that his careful calculation and attitude toward money had seriously damaged his relationship with his children.

It made him wonder how much emotional connection was left between the two of them.

If I don't cherish it more, I might repeat the mistakes of the Liu family in the future, and at that time Yan Jiecheng would most likely choose to stay away from me and start his own business.

"I'm not here to collect money from you this time."

Yan Fugui shook his head.

"Could it be to inform you that the rent will be increased again next month?"

“Is the food cost going to increase again?”

"Dad, I'm still an apprentice and my salary has not changed. If the price really goes up, I really can't give you the money, and I may have to borrow money from you again."

"So how much do I owe you now?"

Yan Jiecheng suddenly came to his senses and thought about signing the IOU again.

He had signed more than a dozen IOUs, with the total amount of loans being around fifty or sixty yuan, so it wouldn't matter if he signed a few more. In any case, if he didn't borrow, he would have to go hungry!

"Actually, I'm not here to talk about raising prices."

Yan Fugui clarified it again.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

Yan Jiecheng was a little confused.

"I'm here to inform you that starting from next month, you don't have to pay any more money except for the food expenses. Keep it for yourself!"

Yan Fugui was secretly grateful.

Thanks to Wan Xingbang's reminder and Liu Haizhong's warning, he finally woke up.

otherwise,

Go on like this,

Yan Jiecheng will sooner or later become the second Liu Guangqi.

The affection between him and his family will gradually fade, and they will eventually live their own lives and become as distant as strangers.

"So, from now on, you only need to pay for food, but the cost will be doubled, right?"

Yan Jiecheng knows his father Yan Fugui too well!

My father regards money as more important than anything else.

They are always trying to figure out how to collect more money and will never take the initiative to cut back. Reducing one expense will inevitably increase the standard of another expense.

Yan Fugui almost cried.

This has been misunderstood so profoundly.

However, judging from the conversation, although Yan Jiecheng is quite dissatisfied with himself, he has not yet reached the point of leaving the family. It seems necessary to slowly ease the relationship and regain the trust and affection between each other.

"Okay, stop imagining this and listen to what I have to say.

Look at the Liu family. Liu Guangqi left and never came back. Liu Guangtian couldn't go home either. Liu Guangfu didn't even dare to go home. Liu Haizhong's brutality and my own shrewd calculations had put us in this situation.

I don’t want my family to end up like Liu Haizhong and his family, so I decided to reduce the fees as much as possible from now on and only keep the most basic food expenses.”

"My income is not high, and you are all old enough to eat a lot. I can't support this family with just my work!"

Yan Fugui explained.

Yan Jiecheng was silent for a while, staring at his father, as if trying to weigh the truth of his words. "Dad, have you really figured it out?"

Yan Jiecheng still had a hint of doubt.

"I have really thought it through. From now on, you only need to pay for food, and the rate will not increase. You can keep the rest of the money for yourself! But I want to remind you in particular,"

"You should plan how to spend the money you have left for yourself. A little bit of money will add up to a lot. If you encounter something serious in the future, it will be bad if you don't have money on hand."

Yan Fugui instructed his son.

"Dad, don't worry, I will control my expenses."

"I haven't saved any money in all these years. I'm used to saving." Yan Jiecheng responded with a little hesitation.

"Dad, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. I've signed up for the technician training course."

"Being a technician has many benefits. Even workers who are promoted to higher grades cannot reach the status of a senior technician."

"Technicians are different. Above technicians there are engineers, above engineers there are chief engineers, and they can also be transferred to management positions."

This sentence made Yan Jiecheng excited.

Yan Fugui also nodded.

"Dad, can I ask you for a favor?"

Yan Jiecheng seemed a little embarrassed.

"What is it?"

"I am now in technician training and I am worried that I will not pass the initial assessment."

"Wan Xingbang is in charge of the entire training. Can you say hello to him? If he is willing to say a word, then I will definitely be able to pass!"

This was an unreasonable request, which Yan Jiecheng put forward to his father.

"I heard others discussing this in the hospital, and they think that a junior high school degree is enough for a technician, right?"

Yan Fugui asked.

Yan Jiecheng nodded in confirmation.

"I really don't have the face to see anyone now."
