The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 218 Decision
"Yan Jiecheng!"

With Yan Bugui's shout, everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Bugui.

At this moment, although Yan Bugui had a smile on his face, everyone could see that he was extremely angry.

"dad!"

Yan Jiecheng also realized Yan Bugui's anger, and his voice was much lower when he responded to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Don't call me dad, I don't have a son like you!"

"Dear neighbors, everyone come here today to bear witness!"

"I, Yan Bugui, sever my father-son relationship with Yan Jiecheng!"

"From now on, whether Yan Jiecheng is dead or alive, good or bad, it has nothing to do with me!"

"I don't need him to support me in my old age. Just think of it as a dog I've raised over the years!"

After Yan Bugui said this, everyone in the courtyard fell silent. No one spoke, not even a word of comment.

There was dead silence.

Yan Jiecheng was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect that his father would be so angry this time.

He didn't even understand, it was just a small thing, was it that important?
"Dad, am I your biological child?"

"It's just a small matter, why are you making such a fuss about it?"

"Didn't I just not give my salary to my family and buy something nice for the New Year?"

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Bugui angrily, not realizing at all what was wrong or the seriousness of the problem.

Today, as long as Yan Bugui confirms that he has severed the father-son relationship with him, his reputation will be completely ruined, and he will definitely lose his job at the steel mill.

There is no way a steel mill would keep someone with such problematic ideology and morality.

An apprentice who failed the assessment continuously could be fired from the steel mill by finding some random fault.

As for the money that Yan Bugui spent when asking Shen Zhiping for help, it’s all gone down the drain.

Even if Yan Jiecheng wanted to make trouble, he had no evidence.

Of course, unless Yan Jiecheng was extremely stupid, he wouldn't make a fuss.

Because if he made a fuss, it would mean that Yan Bugui, his biological father, had never done anything wrong to him, and then Yan Jiecheng's bad character would be completely confirmed.

"Dad, if there is anything, let's go home and talk behind closed doors. Do you think it's appropriate to make it known to everyone and embarrass ourselves?"

Yan Jiecheng felt embarrassed as he was being stared at by everyone.

He tried to persuade Yan Bugui to stop.

Unfortunately, Yan Bugui is now determined.

"Don't call me dad, I don't have a son like you!"

"I have said everything I need to say. Hurry up and take your wife away!"

Why is Yan Bugui so cruel? So resolute?
To put it bluntly, I was still hurt by Yan Jiecheng.

Especially the stab in the back by Yan Jiecheng just now made Yan Bugui feel very cold.

Because of Yan Jiecheng’s statement, if Yan Bugui did not make any response, Yan Bugui’s reputation would be completely ruined.

Yan Bugui really couldn't afford a son who would stab someone in the back.

"Everyone, disperse!"

"Something ugly happened at home, I'm sorry to make you laugh!"

"Disperse, disperse!"

Yan Bugui looked at the neighbors who were watching and waved.

After some polite words, Yan Bugui went back to his room first and closed the door.

As for Yan Jiecheng and Sun Ailian, they were simply ignored by Yan Bugui.

When the neighbors who were watching in the courtyard saw this situation, they did not continue to watch, but quickly dispersed.

Although Yan Bugui was famous for being stingy and calculating in the Siheyuan, overall, the neighbors in the Siheyuan still gave face to him, the former manager.

After all, Comrade Old Yan has basically no other problems except being stingy and calculating.

At this time, most people are still willing to give Comrade Yan some face.

The most important thing is that what Yan Jiecheng did was indeed unpopular.

Soon, there was no one in the front yard.

Liu Wanqing and Zhao Yanlai also returned to the East Courtyard with the others.

Yan Jiecheng stood there blankly, looking at Sun Ailian. Sun Ailian's eyes flickered and she didn't dare to meet Yan Jiecheng's gaze.

Even her brothers avoided looking at Yan Jiecheng.

The purpose of their trip here is still for money.

Yan Jiecheng did not pass the assessment, which meant that his salary remained the same, 14 yuan per month. Under such circumstances, Yan Jiecheng was unable to repay the money he had borrowed before.

It's not a good thing to owe money and not pay it back.

After much thought, Sun Ailian came up with a plan to force Yan Bugui to forgive the loan Yan Jiecheng had borrowed. After all, Yan Jiecheng was Yan Bugui's biological son.

This father lent money to his own son because his son wanted to get married and live at home. It would not be good if this got out.

As for the money that Shen Zhiping lent to Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiecheng must pay it back on time.

Although Shen Zhiping is not the leader of the steel rolling mill, Shen Zhiping's skills are too outstanding, and he is capable of guiding the workers in the factory to improve their performance. Such a person cannot be offended.

However, what Sun Ailian didn't expect was that her wishful thinking was thwarted.

Sun Ailian didn't dare to look at Yan Jiecheng, fearing that Yan Jiecheng would settle accounts with her.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Sun Ailian, his eyes changed from initial anger to later helpless compromise, and finally he sighed.

"Solved!"

When Sun Ailian heard Yan Jiecheng's sigh, she quickly called out to him.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Sun Ailian without saying anything, just staring at her, waiting for Sun Ailian to give him an explanation.

"I just thought that our life was not easy, and I thought that my father-in-law and mother-in-law could help us. I didn't mean any harm!"

"I am also doing this for our family!"

Sun Ailian looked at Yan Jiecheng pitifully.

"I really didn't expect that my father-in-law would do such a thing!"

Up to this moment, Sun Ailian didn't realize where she was wrong.

It was clearly she who pushed Yan Bugui into a desperate situation, but she still believed that Yan Bugui had gone too far.

And Yan Jiecheng is also a brainless person.

After listening to Sun Ailian's words, I actually believed it!

Looking at Sun Ailian who was crying out of grievance, Yan Jiecheng's male chauvinism burst out, and he said responsibly, "Wipe your tears quickly!"

"This matter is indeed not your fault!"

"It's all because of Dad!"

Yan Jiecheng still did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

However, although he did not realize the seriousness of the problem, he knew that he could not cut off ties with the Yan family like that.

He walked to the door of Yan's house and knocked on it.

"Dad, Mom, please open the door!" "This is just a misunderstanding, please listen to my explanation!"

"roll!"

Yan Bugui's voice rang out, "Take your wife and get out of here right away. If you keep complaining, don't blame me for going to the steel mill to find your leader tomorrow!"

"I found this job for you, and I can make you unable to do it!"

Yan Bugui is not cruel enough after all.

Even if he severed his father-son relationship with Yan Jiecheng, he did not want Yan Jiecheng to lose his job. As for whether Yan Jiecheng could continue to stay in the steel rolling mill with his own abilities, that was not something Yan Bugui needed to worry about.

Everyone should be responsible for their own choices.

Yan Jie became Sun Ailian's daughter-in-law, and stabbed her father in the back. Therefore, all the subsequent consequences should be borne by Yan Jie himself.

"Dad, are you really so cruel?"

Yan Jiecheng still wants to try harder.

Unfortunately, Yan Bugui did not respond.

Yang Ruihua sat next to Yan Bugui, tears falling down her face.

Yang Ruihua has always been very tolerant of her eldest son Yan Jiecheng. Even after Yan Jiecheng did something that was equivalent to being a son-in-law, she still missed Yan Jiecheng.

He even sang a different tune from Yan Bugui for this.

But Yan Jiecheng's actions this time made Yang Ruihua realize that she was wrong!
"Dad, Mom, I'm going back first!"

"I'll come see you guys again in a few days!"

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to leave.

He glanced at Sun Ailian and waved at her, signaling her and Yan Bugui to give in and admit their mistakes.

Sun Ailian still had some brains and immediately understood what Yan Jiecheng meant.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

"I can't help it!"

"Jie Cheng owed money outside, he failed the assessment, and his salary was not increased. I was also confused. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"

Unfortunately, like Yan Jiecheng, Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua did not respond.

Yan Bugui is good at calculating, and Yan Jiecheng's two consecutive unreliable behaviors made Yan Bugui realize that his eldest son is really a hopeless case.

If he continues to mess around with Yan Jiecheng like this, his family fortune will be squandered sooner or later.

In that case, it would be better to just break it off.

From now on, whether Yan Jiecheng is good or bad has nothing to do with him.

Yan Jiecheng and Sun Ailian left the courtyard in depression.

Sun Ailian's brothers followed along, remaining silent the entire time without saying a word.

Under normal circumstances, they should have apologized to Yan Bugui. But they didn't!
……

In the east courtyard.

While Liu Wanqing was packing clothes to take back to her mother's home, she was chatting with Zhao Yanlai, and they were talking about the Yan family.

Zhao Yanlai has a part-time job in the Women's Federation of the steel rolling mill. She has seen many family disputes, but this is the first time she has seen a situation like this.

Usually the daughter-in-law is oppressed by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but the situation in the Yan family is exactly the opposite. A daughter-in-law brings her family and almost forces her father-in-law and mother-in-law to do something unbearable.

"Sister-in-law, you should stop thinking about it!"

"The Yan family's tradition is all about calculation!"

"However, Mr. Yan's plan was to support his family, and Yan Jiecheng only learned the basics of Mr. Yan's plan, but did not learn the core points of Mr. Yan's plan."

"Raising a son like this is really worse than raising a dog!"

"No wonder when Yan Jiecheng came to Shen Zhiping to borrow money, he only lent him 200 yuan. If I had known that Yan Jiecheng and his wife were such a character, I would not have lent them a single cent!"

Liu Wanqing really looked down on Yan Jiecheng and his wife Sun Ailian.

Yan Bugui's behavior may be problematic, but it was Yan Jiecheng who asked to borrow money. Now, he is biting back and trying to embezzle the money. He is simply not a human being.

In addition, is there anything wrong with Yan Bugui lending money to his eldest son?
In Liu Wanqing's opinion, there is nothing wrong with it!
Yan Jiecheng is already married and has a job.

Although Yan Bugui is the father, he has more than one son, Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng now has a job and a wife, so Yan Bugui can be said to have fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

At this time, what Yan Jiecheng should do is to repay his old father and help Yan Bugui reduce the family burden.

But Yan Jiecheng didn’t!
This person just went back to live his own life.

When life is not going well, he comes back to make trouble for his father and tries to default on his debts.

His character is very bad!

Even if this was not Yan Jiecheng's idea, and was done by Sun Ailian behind Yan Jiecheng's back, Yan Jiecheng did not say a word of justice, but stabbed his father in the back, which is enough to show what Yan Jiecheng was thinking.

"Wanqing, do you think they will really sever their father-son relationship like this?"

Zhao Yanlai still found it a little unbelievable.

Liu Wanqing shrugged and said, "Well, how would I know? However, if Yan Jiecheng can't find a way to make Teacher Yan feel relieved, I think they might really sever their father-son relationship!"

"I think it's better to have no son like this!"

Liu Wanqing felt that with Yan Jiecheng's personality, there would still be trouble in the future.

Zhao Yanlai nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.

After they packed up their things, they went out and locked the door.

Liu Wanqing called the two dogs at home to go out together, and locked the gate of the east courtyard.

It was unknown when Shen Zhiping would return from this business trip, so Liu Wanqing definitely couldn't leave the dog in the yard. Unless she came to feed it once a day!
However, Shen Zhiping was not at home, and Liu Wanqing did not feel any sense of belonging to this courtyard.

The people in this courtyard are not easy to get along with, and each of them has his or her own calculations. Liu Wanqing does not like this kind of neighborhood relationship.

……

When Shen Zhiping was on a business trip, life in the courtyard continued.

During this period, the Yan family was the focus of the courtyard.

Yan Bugui was determined to sever the father-son relationship with Yan Jiecheng, the unfilial son, but Yan Jiecheng would come over every day to apologize and admit his mistakes, and his attitude was still very sincere.

Unfortunately, Yan Bugui ignored him completely and acted like a stranger every time he saw Yan Jiecheng.

In order to seek Yan Bugui's forgiveness, Yan Jiecheng looked for Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, but it was of no use.

"If only Engineer Shen wasn't on a business trip!"

Being rejected by Yan Bugui again, Yan Jiecheng looked at Sun Ailian and thought of Shen Zhiping's kindness. In his opinion, if Shen Zhiping was still in the courtyard, then maybe he could persuade his father to forgive him.

During this period, Yan Jiecheng has felt the harm of his damaged reputation.

He is now having a hard time in the steel mill. The director of his workshop has criticized him several times and even made it clear that if his workpiece qualification rate does not improve, he will report it to the factory and dismiss him from the steel mill.

It is not difficult to fire an apprentice, and there are not so many procedures to follow.

After being named by the workshop director, Yan Jiecheng realized that he had to solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise he might really be fired.

"No, we can't just go back like this!"

Yan Jiecheng originally planned to take Sun Ailian away as he did before, but when he thought of the workshop director's words, he felt a sense of crisis.
