Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

After seeing Liu Yuhua and Matchmaker Li off, Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiecheng with a gloomy face and said:

"Jiecheng, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to be more enthusiastic? You haven't said a word, are you mute today?"

Thinking of Liu Yuhua's robust physique, Yan Jiecheng subconsciously shuddered. Coming to his senses, he stared blankly at Yan Fugui and asked:

"Dad, do you really have to marry Liu Yuhua? I... I'm a little scared."

Before Yan Fugui could speak, the third aunt sighed and said, "Jiecheng, you saw it yourself. The news about you killing the chicken is all over the place now. Tell me, besides Liu Yuhua, can you find anyone better?"

Yan Fugui said in a deep voice, "Jiecheng, don't think that she's not good enough for you. Look at your own situation. You only make 18 yuan a month, while she makes 42 yuan as a level 5 fitter. Besides, you still owe me 1100 yuan. Add to that the chicken-killing incident, you'll be lucky to even get a wife in this lifetime."

At this point, Yan Fugui added, "Besides, Liu Yuhua's family is so well-off, what more could you want? Think about it yourself, Liu Yuhua's father earns 84.5 yuan a month, plus her 42.5 yuan, and her three older brothers, that's more than 200 yuan a month, which adds up to more than 2,000 yuan a year, almost 3,000 yuan."

"Jiecheng, once Liu Yuhua marries into the family, you must treat her well. Her family is so rich. If you cultivate a good relationship with her, you'll have at least twenty years less to struggle in the future."

Hearing Yan Fugui's words, Yan Jiecheng felt a little better. Although he was not good-looking, he was rich after all, so it was not unacceptable. Anyway, they would look about the same under the covers.

With a sigh, Yan Jiecheng said with a bitter face, "Fine."

When Yan Jiecheng finally agreed, Yan Fugui and the three aunts both breathed a long sigh of relief.

After all, apart from being a bit sturdy, Liu Yuhua was a wonderful daughter-in-law. As long as Liu Yuhua married into the family, their lives would be much better.

......

Early the next morning.

When Yan Jiecheng arrived at the workshop, he asked the workshop director for leave and even obtained a letter of introduction.

After Liu Yuhua told her father about this last night, her father, Liu Cheng, was very happy. However, when he heard that the person was Yan Jiecheng, Liu Cheng frowned.

Liu Cheng was not very satisfied with this marriage at first, but when he saw that his daughter was already 22 years old and would be an old maid if she didn't get married soon, and that his daughter had also said that the story about killing the chicken was just a rumor, he reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

Liu Yuhua also came to the workshop early this morning to ask for leave, obtained a letter of introduction, and left the steel rolling mill with Yan Jiecheng.

When the two arrived at the factory gate, they saw three burly men and an old man in his fifties standing not far from the gate.

Liu Yuhua ran forward and hurriedly asked, "Dad, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, what are you doing here?"

Liu Cheng glared at Liu Yuhua: "Yuhua, you're getting married today, how can your dad not come?"

"Yes, little sister, we took leave yesterday to come and see your husband after we heard you were getting married," Liu Long grinned.

Liu Long emphasized the words "brother-in-law," while Liu Hu and Liu Bao clenched their fists, making a "crack" sound with their fingertips, their eagerness startling Yan Jiecheng who was standing nearby.

Yan Jiecheng then realized that the old man and the three burly men were Liu Yuhua's father and three older brothers.

Upon seeing Liu Yuhua's three older brothers, who were even more robust than Liu Yuhua herself, and all of them with thick beards and fierce eyes, Yan Jiecheng subconsciously shuddered.

Yan Jiecheng swallowed hard. If he ever got into a fight with Liu Yuhua, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

Liu Cheng looked at Yan Jiecheng, sized him up, and grinned, "You must be Yan Jiecheng? You're a bit thin."

Yan Jiecheng quickly took out half a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and handed one to each of them. This half pack of cigarettes was given to him by his father this morning.

"Uncle... Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, please smoke."

Liu Cheng took the cigarette and noticed it was a little damp, but he didn't say anything. He patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder and said in a deep voice:

"Jiecheng, today my daughter is marrying you. She'll be your wife from now on, so please don't bully her."

At this point, he glanced at Liu Long, Liu Hu, and Liu Bao: "These are Yu Hua's three older brothers: eldest brother Liu Long, second brother Liu Hu, and third brother Liu Bao. They all work at the slaughterhouse, butchering pigs. If you dare to bully my daughter, you know what will happen."

Liu Long patted Yan Jiecheng's shoulder hard, almost making Yan Jiecheng stumble.

Liu Long glanced coldly at Yan Jiecheng and grinned menacingly: "Brother-in-law, do you know how many pigs we three brothers slaughter every day at the slaughterhouse? Let me tell you, our shift slaughters at least fifty pigs a day. We three brothers are responsible for stabbing them. Brother-in-law, do you know what it feels like to have a knife go in and a knife come out? If you dare to bully my little sister, I'll let you taste what it feels like to have a knife go in and a knife come out."

"Heh, brother-in-law, if you dare to bully my little sister, watch out, our butcher's knife won't be blind," Liu Hu sneered.

Liu Bao patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

"Big brother, second brother, don't scare your brother-in-law. Don't scare him away. Don't worry, brother-in-law, we only slaughter pigs, not people."

Startled by Liu Yuhua's three older brothers, Yan Jiecheng trembled all over, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He's still wondering if he can really marry Liu Yuhua.

Liu Yuhua is comparable to Sha Zhu, and she has three older brothers who are even stronger than Sha Zhu, and they are all pig butchers. If you offend Liu Yuhua, the consequences are terrifying to think about.

There's no other way now; things have come to this point, and he has no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Cheng, Liu Long, Liu Hu, and Liu Bao, and said with a wry smile:

"Uncle, my three elder brothers, look at my physique. Do you think I can bully Yuhua? It's good enough if she doesn't bully me."

Liu Cheng smiled and nodded: "Alright, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, stop scaring your brother-in-law. Jie Cheng, you still call me uncle?"

"dad."

Yan Jiecheng quickly changed his tune, afraid that if he spoke too late, he would be beaten up by Liu Yuhua's three older brothers.

"Haha, good son-in-law, you should go to the neighborhood office with Yuhua to get your marriage certificate. I'll come to your house this afternoon and deliver the dowry there while I'm at it," Liu Cheng laughed.

"Thank you, Dad."

"Yuhua, let's go."

"Um."

After greeting Liu Cheng and the others, the two headed towards the neighborhood office. They didn't talk much along the way; each had their own thoughts and feelings, and they didn't have much to talk about.

Yan Jiecheng kept thinking that he must give way to Liu Yuhua in the future, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

The two went to the neighborhood office, obtained their marriage certificate, and Yan Jiecheng took Liu Yuhua back to No. 95 courtyard.
