Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 661 Yan Fugui: What a Loss (First Update)
Yan Fugui was confused by his son's answer.

He couldn't believe that the secret weapon he thought was a sure win had no effect in front of his two sons.

It was not until his two sons and daughter-in-law disappeared from his sight that Yan Fugui recovered from his shock.

He really wanted to stop them and ask them what was going on, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know how to start.

Then he turned his gaze to his wife beside him, stared with eyes wide open and asked in disbelief: "Old woman..."

"Did it mean to take the grandson to the restaurant?"

"Aren't they worried that if they bring their children to work, the restaurant will take the opportunity to fire them?"

"I only asked for half of their salary to continue to help them take care of their children. If they bring their children to work in a restaurant and lose their jobs, they will have no income at all."

"They give me half of their income, and they can keep the other half for themselves... If they lose their jobs, they won't get a penny. They can't do such a simple calculation. How could they make such a stupid decision?"

"I, Yan Fugui, have been smart all my life, how could I have given birth to two such stupid sons?"

"And the two daughters-in-law: their sons are stupid and have a one-track mind. They can't figure this out. Can't they understand this?"

"Why would you follow your two sons to do such a stupid thing?"

"With a salary of over a hundred yuan a month, there is no such good job in the whole city."

"If I just lose it like this, I'll have no place to go to regret it."

Yan Fugui's wife also had a frown on her face.

I thought that my old man was just using his two grandchildren to threaten his two sons and daughter-in-law, and then they would have to submit. I could still take care of the grandchildren tomorrow and earn hundreds of dollars more every month.

As a result, this threat actually caused the death of several grandchildren.

Seeing Yan Fugui scolding his two sons for being so stupid, the old lady, who had never wanted to use her grandson to threaten her two sons from the beginning, also got angry and retorted bluntly.

"You are the stupid one..."

"I told you a long time ago not to be jealous of your two daughters-in-law's salary, but you just wouldn't listen."

"Now, they don't even want us to help take care of their grandchildren..."

"My two daughters-in-law must be very dissatisfied with us."

"As for other people's work..."

"Did you deliberately not hear clearly or are you deaf?"

"Jie Cheng explained it clearly. The hotel where Zhang Juan and her friends work has someone to take care of children. As long as you pay a fee every month, you can send your children there."

"People would rather pay others to take care of their children than let us, the grandparents, take care of them."

"If you weren't so greedy and didn't ask for half of their salary at once, maybe the money they gave to the hotel for babysitting could be ours."

"Is there anyone in the hotel to help take care of the children?" Yan Fugui's eyes widened again, and then he asked back with a look of shock on his face.

"I see……"

"No wonder they weren't worried at all when they heard we wouldn't help take care of their kids. It turns out they had already thought of a way out."

"You go to sleep first. I'm going out for a while and will be back in a few minutes..."

Yan Fugui originally planned to go to Wang Dong's house to ask about the hotel's child care, but then he thought that Wang Dong was the hotel's husband and his two daughters-in-law were his employees, so it was not appropriate to disturb them for such a small matter.

Then he walked towards Tang Dashan's house.

Ten minutes later, he returned to his room, lowered his head, and looked very depressed. Although Yan Fugui's wife knew her husband very well, she could still guess some of Yan Fugui's thoughts.

He quickly asked, "Have you asked everything clearly?"

"I asked Tang Dashan and his wife in the front yard..."

"In order to allow the hotel employees to work well, Wang Dong opened a daycare center in the hotel to take care of the children of the employees. He also hired two retired teachers to teach them how to read and write. They only need to pay eight yuan a month."

"Five dollars for the custody fee, three dollars for the food fee, and all three meals a day are eaten at the restaurant..."

At this point, Yan Fugui's face was full of regret, and he slapped his thigh and sighed: "I've lost a lot this time..."

"One person pays the restaurant eight dollars for hosting and food expenses, so for two people it's sixteen dollars..."

"If I hadn't asked my two daughters-in-law for so much salary, the 16 yuan would be ours. How could Wang Dong's restaurant take it all?"

"What a pity……"

"You said Wang Dong is also..."

"Since you're running a restaurant business, you should just run the business properly and make money. Why set up a daycare center?"

"With such high salaries for employees, they will work hard even if there are no after-school care classes."

"If there were no after-school care center, there would be no one to take care of our grandchildren. In order to continue to let us help take care of their children, our two sons had no choice but to bow to us."

"Then the family would have an extra 100 yuan a month in income. Now it's all gone, and my son and daughter-in-law have been terribly offended."

As he spoke, Yan Fugui even began to hate Wang Dong.

I feel that a large part of the reason for the embarrassing situation I’m facing now is because Wang Dong runs a after-school care class in the hotel.

Seeing that Yan Fugui was still dreaming about his two daughters-in-law handing over their wages, his daughter-in-law couldn't help but interrupt him: "You're still dreaming of an extra hundred yuan. If you continue to make trouble like this, it's very likely that the two sons will not even hand over 20 yuan for living expenses to the family in the future."

"My grandson doesn't eat at home now, and my two daughters-in-law don't eat at home either. Only my two sons eat dinner at home."

"If they want, they don't have to come back for dinner..."

"If they really don't pay their families for living expenses, we will have no reason to object."

Hearing this, the regretful expression on Yan Fugui's face was immediately replaced by anxiety.

Before his two daughters-in-law started working, Yan Fugui could earn ten yuan a month from the forty yuan living expenses.

After his two daughters-in-law started working, Yan Fugui could earn a full twenty yuan every month from their living expenses because they no longer had to eat at home.

If they don't pay their living expenses in the future, the twenty yuan income will be gone.

This is absolutely unacceptable for Yan Fugui, who is greedy for money and full of calculations.

He couldn't help but punched the table beside him and said, "How dare they..."

"What's there to be afraid of..." the daughter-in-law replied unhappily.

"Now they don't eat at home, and they don't even let us take care of their grandchildren. Why should we pay for their living expenses?"

"Even if you don't agree, how can you control them and force them to pay living expenses to their families?"

After hearing his daughter-in-law's rebuttal, Yan Fugui fell silent. Apart from his grandchildren, he really couldn't find a way to restrain his sons and daughters-in-law at this moment.
