Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

The father-in-law suddenly interrupted: "If Yan Fugui continues to do this, it may seem that he has more money for retirement, but he is gradually being abandoned by his friends and relatives..."

"Originally, their sons and daughters-in-law were quite filial to them, but Yan Fugui used his little tricks to completely drain their filial piety."

"They will definitely have a lot of hardship in the future."

Wang Dong followed up: "No need for later..."

"After tonight, Yan Fugui will pay a heavy price for his schemes and be deserted by his friends and relatives."

"Yan Jiecheng's wife just asked us to borrow 500 yuan. Yan Jiefang also borrowed 500 yuan. He planned to take this opportunity to completely separate from Yan Fugui and his wife, and even planned to move directly to the south of the city to settle down."

"By then, not only did Yan Fugui not get a penny from his two daughters-in-law, but he also lost the 20 yuan living allowance that his two sons gave to the family every month."

"Twenty dollars a month for each family, so forty dollars for the two families combined."

"Given Yan Fugui's stingy personality, it would be good if he could take out thirty yuan out of the forty yuan for food expenses. He can at least earn ten yuan from it."

“Now it’s all gone at once.”

"This old guy will definitely be heartbroken tomorrow."

…………

On the way back to the west wing.

The few people who borrowed the money were very happy, with smiles on their faces, and they were enjoying their happy life in the south of the city tomorrow.

The second daughter-in-law asked as she walked: "Sister-in-law..."

"Should we go home and confront our parents about the division of the family property, or should we talk about it in a few days?"

Sister-in-law Zhang Juan blurted out what was in her mind: "Let's talk about it in a few days..."

"Dad feels that he has the upper hand over us, and he will definitely compromise with him tonight."

"We just won't bow our heads."

"Send the two children to the hotel daycare center early tomorrow morning, and don't let their parents take care of them."

"Xie Cheng and Jie Fang went to the steel mill to ask for leave and went directly to the south of the city to look at houses."

"Let's find a few more. We can reserve a house during our afternoon break, then buy furniture and let Dad know that his so-called trump card can't threaten us."

"But Dad will definitely not give up the salary we get every month easily."

"Next they will definitely threaten us with the house. If we don't agree to pay the money to the family, they will not let us live in the house."

"By that time, we will have bought a house in the south of the city and purchased all the necessary furniture."

"If Dad dares to threaten us with the house, we will immediately gather all the neighbors in the courtyard and separate from Dad and Mom in front of everyone."

"Where in the world can a son and his wife live in their own home and have to pay rent, and it's 40 or 50 yuan at a time. This is clearly robbery."

"The responsibility of dividing the family will fall on Dad. He forced us to separate. Otherwise, our two families would be devoured by Dad without leaving any bones or residue."

"Dad is a very face-conscious person, and he's also a teacher."

"I definitely don't want to be mocked and ridiculed by my neighbors in the courtyard."

"By then, he will have to split up the family even if he doesn't want to."

"Since we are going to split up, let's do it completely. With the neighbors here to help as witnesses, we can directly decide how much pension we will give to the old couple every month in the future."

"To prevent Dad from using this incident to plot against us again in the future."

"We have all experienced the way Dad schemes against people. In order to avoid trouble, we have to be on guard."

The eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, was the one who was schemed against the most by Yan Fugui. He agreed on the spot: "Wife..."

"You said it very well..." "Dad's calculation is deeply rooted in his bones. We can't give him any chance to calculate. Otherwise, even if we separate the family in the future, he will find ways to cause trouble for us."

"If we are going to split up, let's do it thoroughly so that he can't find any trouble with us."

"If Dad asks you about it later, don't say anything. I'll speak first."

"As long as Daddy says he won't help us take care of the kids tomorrow, I'll say we take the kids to work tomorrow and go straight to bed."

"When he brings up the house, we'll discuss the separation."

The second son, Yan Jiefang, followed up, "We definitely can't talk about splitting up the family tonight."

"If we mention it, given Dad's calculating ways, he will make us pay rent tonight to sleep, otherwise we won't even have a place to sleep tonight."

The second daughter-in-law immediately agreed and said, "Our father can really do it."

"Even my own grandson can be used for calculation, let alone the house we live in now."

"So if we want to split up the family, we have to wait until we buy a house tomorrow."

"I don't want to live in such a small, shabby house and pay a lot of rent."

…………

At this moment, Yan Fugui was sitting on a chair with a confident expression, waiting for his two sons and two daughters-in-law.

Seeing the four people return to the house together, he didn't waste any words and spoke directly with a smile on his face, as if he had already seen the wonderful life he would have with an extra hundred yuan income every month.

"Jie Cheng, Jie Fang...Have you discussed everything with your wife?"

"If you want your mother to continue to help take care of the children tomorrow, half of her salary must be handed over to the family."

"I am your father, and we are a family. How could I harm you?"

"Although the money has been handed over to me, I am only keeping it for you. I will not use the money. It will return to you sooner or later."

"I just think you are too young, and it's not safe to hold so much money in your hands."

Yan Fugui's words became more and more exaggerated, and he even described his calculation of his son and daughter-in-law's wages as helping them.

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang curled their lips when they heard this.

If these words had been said more than ten years ago, they might still have believed them.

But the two men are now in their thirties, and if Yan Fugui continues to say such things, he would be fooling his two sons like fools.

Yan Jiecheng didn't waste any words and said directly: "Dad..."

"We have already discussed..."

"Since mom doesn't want to help us take care of the child, then we will take care of it ourselves."

"Besides, you two are both old now. If we continue to ask you to help take care of the children, others will say that we, as children, are unfilial."

"Starting tomorrow, my second brother and I will take turns picking up the two older ones from school."

"The two little ones will go to the restaurant directly with Zhang Juan and the others..."

"The hotel has a place to take care of children. You just need to pay some money."

"It's not too expensive anyway. With the current income of your two daughters-in-law, we can definitely afford it."

"All right……"

"It's late now, and we have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't say more to you here. Tell us what you think tomorrow."

After saying this, he ignored the increasingly heavy expression on Yan Fugui's face and walked towards his room with his wife. (End of this chapter)
