"What kind of fishing is that!"
At this moment, Yan Bugui was filled with grievances and anger, and he was worried that he had nowhere to vent them.
He grabbed the fishing rod and slammed it hard against his leg with all his might.
Then, with a crisp "crack," the fishing rod snapped in two.
This sudden, crazy act terrified the group of old women standing at the door, who all thought Yan Bugui had gone mad.
The third aunt, in particular, had her lips trembling slightly, but dared not utter a single word.
Even after Yan Bugui broke the fishing rod, his anger had not subsided.
He then kicked the bucket next to him, and there was a loud crash: "Clang!"
However, due to excessive force, the bucket rolled more than ten meters on the ground before finally being stopped by a corner of the wall.
"Oh my goodness!"
At the same time, Yan Bugui let out a shrill scream, clutching his injured foot tightly with both hands, and hopping around on the ground.
Seeing Yan Bugui in such a disheveled state, the women looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
They looked at each other, seemingly lost in thought.
When the third aunt saw that her husband had injured his foot, she didn't bother to ask what had happened. She rushed forward to help him up and carefully led him back into the house.
After the two men left, the others began to whisper among themselves.
"Gentlemen, what's going on? That old coward Yan is not going to live anymore, he's even lost his livelihood."
"Tsk tsk tsk! I think he's probably crazy, otherwise why would he be willing to do something like this?"
"Do you think he might leave school early every day and get expelled?"
After hearing what the woman said, everyone else looked on incredulously.
"Don't talk nonsense. The company doesn't fire people easily unless they've made a serious mistake. Be careful that they don't find an excuse to say that we're spreading rumors."
Aunt Yi's warning silenced the women, who were afraid of getting into trouble.
Meanwhile, Yan Bugui, who had returned to the house, sat silently on the stool, seemingly lost in thought.
The three women didn't dare to ask and could only silently stay by their side.
The two of them sat there without even eating lunch until the children came home from school in the evening, when the third aunt finally found out what had happened.
It turns out the school posted a notice saying that Yan Bugui had used his position as a teacher to seek personal gain, which had a very negative impact on the school. He was now being expelled and would never be rehired.
When the three women learned what had happened, they were completely stunned.
You know, Yan Bugui is the pillar of his family. Now that he's been fired, how will he make a living?
While the three women were still wondering what to do next, the other residents of the compound also heard the news from their own children.
These neighbors knew Yan Bugui's character very well, so no one felt sorry for him. The two words they said most often behind his back were, "He deserved it."
When it got dark, Yan Jiecheng returned from his odd jobs and heard about his father's situation. Thinking about how he would have to support himself alone in the future, he immediately started complaining.
"Dad, what can I say about you! All you ever do is scheme, and now you've gotten yourself into trouble!"
"Ugh!"
Yan Bugui had been silent all day and had just calmed down when Yan Jiecheng's words provoked him so much that he almost fainted.
Seeing this, the three women quickly ran over, gently patting his back and comforting him.
"Old man, are you alright? Old man, don't scare me like that..."
After some comforting, Yan Bugui calmed down a bit. Then, the third aunt turned around, glared at Yan Jiecheng, and said angrily.
"Your father is already in this state, and you're still making sarcastic remarks. Wasn't he doing all this for the good of our family? Can't you help him think of a solution?"
"I don't know any school leaders, what can I do?"
To avoid upsetting his father, Yan Jie lowered his voice considerably, indicating his helplessness.
At this moment, when the youngest son, Yan Jiekuang, heard the word "leader," he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of someone.
"Mom and Dad, there's someone who can help our family."
Yan Bugui hadn't held out much hope, but after hearing his youngest son's words, he had no choice but to try anything, and asked weakly.
"Who are you talking about, Jie Kuang?"
"Dad, this person is Zheng Guo from our front yard. Think about it, he's such a high-ranking official. If he's willing to step forward, who wouldn't give him face?"
When the third aunt heard the youngest son's suggestion, her eyes lit up. How could she have forgotten about this Bodhisattva?
"Boss, I think Jie Kuang is right. The eldest son of the Sun family definitely has the ability. Why don't we go and find him?"
Seeing the expectant looks in his family's eyes, Yan Bugui felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly, extremely uncomfortable.
Just a few days ago, I reported Sun Zhengguo, and now I have to beg him for help. It's really a huge irony.
However, in order not to lose his job, Yan Bugui nodded and decided to give it a try.
After the family finished discussing it, the elderly Yan couple went to the Sun family's house, but as expected, no one was home.
However, this didn't stump the third aunt. She went to the Chen family's house in the backyard to inquire and found out Sun Zhengguo's current address.
So Yan Bugui and his wife rushed to Ju'er Hutong and found Sun Zhengguo's courtyard without much trouble.
The Sun family had just finished their meal and were playing with the children, completely unaware that two uninvited guests had arrived at the door.
"Knock knock knock!"
Hearing the knock on the door, Lin Wencui felt very curious. Since she had dinner here every night, no outsiders had visited this courtyard. Who could it be today?
Before she could react, Sun Zhengdong had already strode to the door and opened the courtyard gate.
When the door opened, Sun Zhengdong recognized the person who entered and quickly greeted him.
"Uncle, Aunt, what's going on here...?"
"It's Zhengdong! It's been a long time since I've been to the courtyard to play. I've come to see your older brother, Sun Zhengguo, about something. Is he home?" Yan Bugui's words were full of flattery, as if he was afraid of being rebuffed.
"We're here! Uncle and Aunt, please come inside and we'll talk."
After saying that, the three of them walked into the main room together. When Lin Wencui saw Yan Bugui and his wife, she was slightly taken aback, and then said jokingly.
"Uncle and Aunt, you two have been visiting from far away! Please have a seat."
When Sun Zhengguo, the sixth brother, saw Yan Bugui coming over, he pretended to be nonchalant and greeted him warmly from the side.
"Uncle, Aunt, you are rare guests. Please make yourselves at home."
"Hey! Sit down now."
After the two sat down, Ning Xiaowei poured two more glasses of water, making Yan Bugui feel a little embarrassed, and he thanked her repeatedly.
