Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 7: Wasted Emotions

"Since everything is fine, let's go." At this time, a righteous middle-aged man walked out of the yard.

When Yan Bugui saw the man, he rushed forward a few steps and grabbed the man's arm as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Old Yi, we have been neighbors for decades. Please explain to everyone that my family is just an ordinary family with a small business. Although my hometown is in Jin Province, my father had already come to the city of Sijiu. He really has nothing to do with that person."

"That's right, Lao Yi, we all respect you, please help us explain it, otherwise how will our family live in the future?"

At this time, Aunt Yan also came up to the visitor, holding her little son who was just born not long ago and wiping her tears.

"Okay, everyone, stop making random guesses. The Yan family has lived in this courtyard for decades, and everyone knows what's going on. Stop making random guesses."

The person who came was none other than Yi Zhonghai, who was known as the Lord of Morality among many of his peers. With his neat short flat head and neat, clean clothes, he looked righteous at first glance.

In addition to his craftsmanship and the fact that he helps everyone from time to time, he has a certain reputation in the area.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai speak, everyone nodded, but their attitude was not as firm as before.

Yang Ning provided real evidence, and the witness was the Military Control Commission, so everyone was still convinced.

But Yan Bugui said that he was an ordinary person, that is, his upper lip touched his lower lip, which made it hard to believe.

"This is to kill me. The Yang family is going to kill our entire family!"

After finally sending away the onlookers, Yan Bugui thanked Yi Zhonghai again and again. Then, as soon as he returned to the house, his face began to twist. He said that the Yang family wanted to force him to death, and at the same time, he patted his chest seemingly very hard.

"Okay, why did you bother him for no reason? If Da Gen hadn't stopped his wife, you would have been skinned alive."

Aunt Yan knew her husband's temper, so she could only vent her anger in her own room. Once she left the house, she spoke softly.

But she was also afraid of Yang Liu's mouth. Once she opened her mouth, she would poke into people's hearts. It was better not to provoke that woman.

"Could it be that I am wrong? If there wasn't an extra mouth to feed at home, would I have thought of that? I am doing this for this family!"

"I know everything, but you have to look at the person too. It's okay for other people, but look at the person next door. When have you ever seen him suffer a loss?"

Aunt Yan said as she knelt on the kang and swept the sheets flat with a small broom.

"I know that Yang Liu is from the Lou family after all, so she might be a little shy. I never thought it would be like this."

That woman has absolutely no moral principles at all. She attacked directly from the start. She doesn't look like someone who comes from a wealthy family at all.

Not to mention the Yan family’s depression, Xu Fugui was absent-minded all the way home after following his wife.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so absent-minded?" Xu Damao's mother asked worriedly after seeing her husband's appearance.

"It's okay. I just didn't expect that the Yang family is so hidden. Not only did that reckless Yang Ning get the government reward, but even Yang Dagen did a great job today. And Yang Liu is even more..." Xu Fugui couldn't find the right words to describe Yang Liu for a while.

"Is she like that at Lou's house too?"

"How could that be possible? Maybe she hasn't met anyone like the Yan family in the Lou family, so there's no place for her to show her talents."

Xu Damao's mother is still working as a servant in the Lou family. The Lou family has also given them the title deed of their house. Now the Xu family, like the Yang family, are both private properties.

However, Xu Damao has an older sister, so his living conditions are not as good as those of the Yang family.

"It seems that I have to maintain a good relationship with the Yang family in the future, so as to avoid being attacked by them. No one can bear it." Xu Fugui sighed.

"Don't worry, Sister-in-law Yang is not that kind of person. As long as you don't provoke her, she is still a very good person."

"Oh!" Xu Fugui replied absentmindedly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

………… “These things are really rewards from the Military Control Commission.”

As soon as he entered the house, Yang Dagen immediately slumped down in a chair, looking at the bicycle, Xiaomi and the piece of pork and asked.

"Don't worry, it's definitely from a legitimate source. Uncle Liu, who sells fried liver, brought it back with me."

Yang Ning was afraid that they would not believe him, so he directly pulled Uncle Liu out.

"That's good. Luckily Old Yan backed down, otherwise I would have given up and my legs are still weak now."

Yang Dagen picked up the large porcelain teacup and took a big gulp before letting out a long breath.

Call ~
"Look at you." Yang Liu gave Yang Dagen a cold look and said, "Didn't we say that we would kill a chicken to scare the monkeys? You specifically picked a weakling like the Yan family. What are you afraid of?"

Listening to the conversation between the couple, Yang Ning felt a thousand horses galloping through his heart. He thought that his father had really stood up. This relationship must be a script that you two had discussed beforehand!

What a waste of emotion.

However, Yang Ning had to give a thumbs up to his parents' actions. His mother had just resigned from the Lou family and would have to spend more time dealing with these people in the hospital in the future.

If people think you have a weak character, you will be bullied by others in the future.

By establishing this person who is not easy to mess with through today's incident, the Yang family will definitely avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles in the future.

"You didn't leave any food for me today!" Although he had already eaten, looking at the empty stove, Yang Ning still felt that he was redundant.

"Ah?" Yang Liu was sewing shoe soles. She was stunned when she heard Yang Ning's question: "You haven't eaten yet?"

"I ate it." Yang Ning replied blankly.

"Tsk, why are you asking that after you've eaten?" After hearing this, Yang Liu rolled her eyes at her son and sat back down.

"I brought some leftovers from the cafeteria today. Since you weren't at home, your dad and I ate some." Yang Liu saw that her son was a little depressed and explained.

"Is there a special cooking class in the factory today?"

You should know that Yang Liu and others usually don’t grab the leftovers from the big pot of meals, but leave them to people in poor family conditions in the kitchen.

Only when she cooks for herself would she bring some back to improve the taste.

"Well, someone came to the factory today." Yang Liu was unwilling to say more, so Yang Ning guessed who the visitor was.

After all, Lou’s Iron Works is one of the few steel machinery industries in the city, so it is normal to send some people there.

"Wow, it's actually thirty kilograms!"

Yang Dagen took a large scale and weighed the millet that Yang Ning brought back, and said happily.

You should know that millet is hard currency now. In order to keep the painter named Zhang, the government paid him a salary in millet, 3000 kilograms a month, which is the highest salary for a professor nowadays.

However, the painter named Zhang felt that 3000 kilograms of millet a month was still not enough, so he profited from it.

When the city of Beijing was just liberated, the amount of gold yuan each person could exchange was only enough to buy 11 kilograms of millet.

At this time, Rabbit was in urgent need of precious metal reserves, so it issued currency based on Xiaomi as the reserve benchmark.

Next year, there will be another 6 billion kilograms of millet to help aviation, so these 30 kilograms of millet are really a lot.
