Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

When the three women saw that Yan Jiecheng remained silent, they immediately covered their mouths and burst into tears.

"Jiecheng, say something! Are you trying to drive your parents crazy with worry?"

Yan Jiecheng turned his head, like a marionette, without even blinking, and asked Yan Fugui, "Is it absolutely necessary to cut it?"

Yan Fugui, his eyes red-rimmed, nodded emphatically: "It absolutely has to be done, otherwise your life will be in danger. Even if it's not done, you'll lose your sexual function."

"Then... let's cut it."

After saying that, Yan Jiecheng stared blankly at the ceiling, as if he had lost two of his three souls.

When the three women saw Yan Jiecheng, they seemed to have lost their souls, and they couldn't help but cry again.

"Waaaaah, waaaaah, what kind of situation is this! What will we do if it gets worse later?!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuhua also ran out of the ward.

Whether Yan Jiecheng was a eunuch or not was not a big problem for her. Anyway, Yan Jiecheng only lasted for a few dozen seconds, which was almost the same as not having him at all, and it still left her feeling awkward and unsatisfied.

The key issue is that Yan Jiecheng did indeed steal chickens and was caught red-handed. So many people in the courtyard saw it, which has a huge impact on her reputation. She is now considering whether or not to divorce Yan Jiecheng.

......

Yan Jiecheng's excision surgery was very successful. It was done in just over an hour. It was just a matter of cutting and then suturing the wound, just like before with Shazhu. The surgery was not very complicated.

After the surgery, the doctor gave Yan Jiecheng two more IV drips, and then Yan Fugui discharged him directly from the hospital.

He didn't want to pay the hospital fees, since it didn't really matter where he recuperated.

Just like before, Yan Jiefang pulled the cart, and Liu Yuhua and the others pushed it from behind.

On the way back, Yan Fugui sighed deeply. Since his family's money was stolen, he only had a dozen yuan left. This was what he had left after receiving his salary this month. If it weren't for Liu Yuhua paying the medical bills, he wouldn't have been able to afford it.

Back in the courtyard, it was already past three in the morning. With such a big thing happening to the Yan family, no one was sleepy at all.

Yan Fugui asked Liu Yuhua to sit down, and said tentatively, his tone tinged with guilt:

"Yuhua, the Yan family is so sorry for you. You've only been married for two days and this has already happened. If you want to divorce Jiecheng, we absolutely won't stop you..."

Before Yan Fugui could finish speaking, the third aunt shouted, "No, no! If Jiecheng is in this state, and Yuhua divorces him, how will Jiecheng live in the future?"

Interrupted, Yan Fugui's face darkened. He glared at the third aunt and roared, "Yang Ruihua, shut up!"

The three women didn't shut up; instead, they cried their hearts out.

"Waaaaah, waaaaah, my poor Jiecheng, why are you so unlucky! What will you do in the future!"

Seeing this, Yan Fugui ignored the three women and turned to Liu Yuhua, asking softly:

"Yuhua, what are you thinking now? Talk to Dad. If you really want a divorce, we won't blame you. After all, the Yan family has wronged you!"

As he spoke, Yan Fugui's eyes reddened, but his gaze remained fixed on Liu Yuhua's changing expressions.

"Yuhua, I just asked Jiecheng. He was angry that Qin Jingru cooked for him, so he stole chickens to get revenge on her. You can't divorce Jiecheng! Please forgive him, I'm begging you."

The three women cried as they explained, and as they cried, they knelt down.

"Mom, please don't do this."

Liu Yuhua helped the three women up and sighed.

"Dad, Mom, I've only been married for less than three days and this has already happened. What am I supposed to do? Actually, I don't really care what the interpretation is, as long as we don't say anything, the people in the courtyard won't know."

At this point, Liu Yuhua continued, "But what if he gets caught stealing chickens? If word gets out, how am I supposed to face people? If everyone sees me and says my husband is a chicken thief, how can I dare to go to work in the factory? How can I ever face anyone again?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui knew there was hope and was overjoyed.

"Yuhua, if this matter is suppressed in our compound, will you not get a divorce?"

Liu Yuhua nodded, then asked in return, "Dad, everyone in the yard saw it. Do you think it's possible to press it down?"

Yan Fugui waved his hand and said seriously, "Yuhua, answer me first, is it true that you won't divorce Jiecheng as long as this matter doesn't get out of the hospital? As long as you agree not to divorce, Dad has a way."

"Old Yan, what can we do now? More than a hundred people in the compound saw it. You know what kind of people we have in the compound. I'm sure that when everyone went to the steel mill this morning, it was all over the news. I just don't know if Jie Cheng can keep his job after this happened," the third aunt said worriedly.

Liu Yuhua ignored the three aunts. Seeing Yan Fugui's certainty, she nodded.

"Dad, if this matter doesn't get out, and if no one in the compound mentions it again, I can stay in the marriage."

After saying that, Liu Yuhua also let out a long sigh. What kind of situation is this? She had only been married for less than three days and this had already happened. Now she couldn't get a divorce, and she couldn't stay either.

If she gets a divorce, how can she tell her father and three brothers? If she doesn't get a divorce, and if word gets back to the steel mill, not only will she be gossiped about, but her father will also be mocked behind his back by his coworkers.

Upon hearing Liu Yuhua's affirmation, Yan Fugui clapped his hands vigorously.

"Yuhua, leave this to me. Don't worry, Dad guarantees that this matter won't get out, and no one will mention it in front of you again."

"Okay, then let's do it this way."

Liu Yuhua sighed and went back inside.

Seeing that Liu Yuhua had closed the door, the third aunt pulled Yan Fugui aside and whispered:

"Old Yan, what's wrong with you? There are so many people in the yard, how did you manage to shut them up? And what about Wang Feng? What are you planning to do with him? If he reports it to the police today, not only will he be arrested, but he might also lose his job, or at the very least, he'll be disciplined. Then he can forget about getting a promotion for the next few years."

Yan Fugui sighed and said in a deep voice, "We're going to have to pay a heavy price this time, otherwise we won't be able to keep this a secret, especially from Wang Feng. If Wang Feng insists on reporting it to the police, then we'll be in big trouble. As soon as it's light, we have to beg Wang Feng for forgiveness no matter what."

The three women wiped away their tears and nodded emphatically: "Okay, as soon as it gets light, I'll go to Wang Feng's house and kneel there. If he doesn't forgive Jie Cheng, I'll kneel at his door and not get up."

"Old Yan, you said our family is going to suffer a huge financial loss, what's going on?"

"Of course we'll pay people in the compound to shut up. Don't you even know what kind of people we have in the compound?" Yan Fugui said with a gloomy face.

Upon hearing this, the three women asked worriedly, "But...but do we still have any money? We can't let Yuhua pay for it, can we?"

Yan Fugui sighed again: "It's impossible for Yuhua to pay. She already paid more than forty yuan in medical expenses at the hospital. There's no other way now, so we have to resort to our underground resources."

"Old Yan, you mean..." The third aunt pointed to the ground.

Yan Fugui nodded: "This matter is too big; I estimate it can't be handled without at least a hundred people."
