Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Lin Shaowen drove into his father-in-law's house according to Yan Jiecheng's instructions.

"Oh my god, Yan Jiecheng, your father-in-law's family is really poor." Xu Damao laughed.

"Shut up." Yi Zhonghai said helplessly, "If someone hears this, there will be trouble."

"Well, I won't say it, right?" Xu Damao curled his lips.

Lin Shaowen looked at the house in front of him and agreed with Xu Damao's words. Although the conditions are relatively poor now, the three and a half small wooden houses are tilted to 80 degrees. If there is a strong wind or heavy rain, it is possible that they will collapse.

To live like this, either all the adult men in the family are dead, or they are just lazy.

After he parked the car, Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai got out of the car immediately and helped Yan Jiecheng up. But Yan Jiecheng pushed them away and walked into the yard with a cane.

"Oh, how come the new son-in-law of the old Yan family is a cripple?" a villager exclaimed.

"Don't talk nonsense." Someone retorted, "He came last time when they were celebrating the wedding. He was still a normal person at that time... I heard that he had an accident while working in the factory recently and was injured."

...

Lin Shaowen couldn't help laughing when listening to the villagers' whispers.

This Yan Bugui is not stupid, he just talks nonsense.

"Son-in-law, you are finally here."

A burly man walked out of the house, he looked kind and benevolent.

"Dad."

Yan Jiecheng shouted.

"Okay, okay, come in first, Fengjiao has been waiting for you for a long time." The man smiled and patted his shoulder, but he didn't mean to help him. Instead, he looked at Lin Shaowen and others, "You three are here to pick up the bride, right? My name is Yan Hua, please come in..."

"Thank you, Uncle Yan."

Xu Damao shouted with a smile.

Lin Shaowen just nodded, followed him, and stood with Yi Zhonghai.

"Okay, okay, come in."

Yan Hua happily took Xu Damao's hand and walked into the house.

Xu Damao immediately looked at Lin Shaowen with pride. Don't look at your handsomeness, but you have no chance when it comes to dealing with elders.

Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Inside the house.

A girl in a red cotton jacket was sitting there, and beside her stood a tall man and a beautiful woman.

"Brother Long, Sister Fengyu..."

Yan Jiecheng smiled and greeted them.

"Yeah."

The two nodded gently, which was considered an agreement.

"Come, everyone, have some tea."

At this time, a woman in her early fifties came in with a tray with four cups of tea and some melon seeds and peanuts on it. She looked quite polite.

"Mom."

Yan Jiecheng called out obediently.

"Hey."

After the woman responded, she automatically filtered out Yi Zhonghai and turned her eyes to Xu Damao and Lin Shaowen, "Jiecheng, why don't you introduce these people..."

"Look at my memory." Yan Jiecheng said immediately, "This is Yi Zhonghai, a great uncle in our courtyard, and these two are Lin Shaowen and Xu Damao... They are my childhood friends."

Are childhood friends okay?

Xu Damao and Lin Shaowen both looked ridiculous.

However, Xu Damao grew up with Yan Jiecheng. Although they don't get along well, it's reasonable to say that they are childhood friends. But Lin Shaowen is different. That's your serious Uncle Lin. How dare you offend him?

After Yan Jiecheng gave Lin Shaowen a pleading look, Lin Shaowen just nodded with a smile and said nothing.

"Oh, these two are both handsome. Have they married?" Yan's mother exclaimed.

"Mom, they are all married." Yan Jiecheng said helplessly.

"That's a pity." Yan's mother sighed, "Fengjiao is settled now, but your sister hasn't been promised yet. If you have a good partner... you have to think about your sister."

"Yeah, I know."

Yan Jiecheng responded and continued to talk to his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Yi Zhonghai felt that he was ignored and felt quite depressed, so he said he wanted to go outside.

Seeing this, Lin Shaowen immediately said that he would go with him.

Only Xu Damao was indifferent and looked at Yan Fengyu motionlessly.

Yan Fengyu blushed when he looked at her and glared at him fiercely.

But Xu Damao still didn't know how to restrain himself and looked at her motionlessly.

"Ahem..." Yan Hua coughed twice and said, "Xu Xiaoge, why don't you go out and check on Lin Xiaoge and Yi Dagong? I'm afraid they might get lost."

"Okay."

Xu Damao came back to his senses and chuckled, "Yes, they rarely go to the countryside... Unlike me, I see movies showing in the countryside all over the world. Although I rarely come to Miyun, our factory has expanded this year, so I'm afraid we have to expand the screening area.""Oh, showing movies? Brother Xu, what do you do?" Yan's mother exclaimed.

"Nothing, just a projectionist in the factory. I worked as a director for a while a few days ago, but I felt that it was boring, so I returned to the Propaganda Department and continued to work as a projectionist." Xu Damao said lightly.

Yan Jiecheng wanted to expose him, but then he thought that he had more shit on his ass. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and watch him pretend.

"Oh, Brother Xu, you are a director at such a young age? That's incredible."

The five members of the Yan family looked at him with envy.

This Xu Damao looks only in his thirties, and he can't do the director level if he says he doesn't want to do it. It's really awesome.

"What's the big deal." Yan Jiecheng chuckled, "You know Lin Shaowen who just went out, he is still the director of our factory... and he is a few years younger than Xu Damao."

"Minister?"

The Yan family was immediately numb when they heard this title.

"How old is he? He looks about the same age as me. How can he be a minister?" Yan Fengyu said in a delicate voice.

"Sister Fengyu, don't look at Lin Shaowen's youth. He is already 29 years old." Xu Damao said, "Although he is a minister, he is not a good person... He has been married and divorced three times."

"Oh, how did he do that?" Yan's mother exclaimed.

Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, a large number of people think that "divorce" is a very shameful thing.

"Speaking of Lin Shaowen, he has a bad life." Yan Jiecheng sighed, "The first wife was the daughter of a capitalist. Later, she was investigated by the higher-ups and the whole family ran away..."

"The second wife was even worse." Xu Damao said gloatingly, "Although they divorced, she gave birth to a child for him. Now... he still has to pay living expenses every month, which is about 60 yuan a month."

...

The Yan family swallowed subconsciously.

What is the concept of 60 yuan? They may not earn 60 yuan a year working in the fields, but the monthly alimony is that much. City people are really generous.
