"Those who scheme against others all the time will eventually get their comeuppance! My parents are just reaping what they sowed by scheming too much!"
Yan Jiecheng waved his hand dismissively and said.
Then he looked at Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi beside him and said:
"It's getting late, you should go back and make dinner!"
Because Yan Jiecheng was the eldest in the family, the other three obediently went home.
Once everyone was alone, Yan Jiecheng turned to Lin Yang ingratiatingly and said:
"Brother Yang, I'm not asking you to help my dad pull some strings, but I want you to stick to your story so my dad won't be released."
When Lin Yang saw Yan Jiecheng ask his younger brother and sister to leave, he was prepared that Yan Jiecheng had something to say to him.
Hearing that he hoped Yan Fugui would continue eating porridge, Lin Yang was still a little confused for a moment.
What's this?
Filial piety breeds strength? A public display of filial piety? A loving father and a smiling son? ???
Seeing Lin Yang's puzzled expression, Yan Jiecheng said somewhat awkwardly:
"To be honest with you, Yang, I don't care if you and my dad are enemies!"
"Anyway, I've been planning to separate from the family ever since I found a job!"
"You have no idea how twisted my dad is!"
At this point, Yan Jiecheng's expression shifted from embarrassment to utter despair:
“I know my dad has a habit of keeping accounts, but I’ve never seen his account books!”
"Until a few days ago, when I was looking for something, I accidentally came across his account book!"
"He meticulously recorded every single expense that Jiefang, Jiekuang, and Jiedi had ever incurred since childhood!"
"From the major expenses of my mother's hospital stay for giving birth to us, to the minor expenses of how many sheets of toilet paper I used at night, everything was recorded!"
"I asked him why he was keeping these accounts, and he actually said it was so he could ask us for money later???"
Yan Jiecheng let out a heavy sigh: "Brother Yang, with a father like that, why should I care about him! He likes to scheme, so let him scheme in there. As long as he doesn't get out, I can take over a position at Hongxing Elementary School!"
Lin Yang was completely dumbfounded after hearing Yan Jiecheng's words.
Goodness, he knew Yan Fugui was stingy and liked to scheme.
But he really didn't expect that Yan Fugui would scheme against his own child, recording it all in an account book on several sheets of paper. This scheming was truly outrageous.
Even Su Daqiang in "All Is Well" kept a separate account book for each of his three children, but it wasn't as detailed as a few sheets of toilet paper.
Seeing that Lin Yang was also stunned, Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and sighed, "Brother Yang, I know there must be a connection. As long as you can let my dad eat gruel in there for a few more years, I will definitely give you a reward."
Yan Fugui was cunning, and Yan Jiecheng was just as shrewd.
On the one hand, eating porridge inside doesn't cost money; on the other hand, the later Yan Fugui comes out, the less money he has to spend to support him.
After all, my younger siblings will grow up in a few years, and the four of us can support each other in taking care of the elderly, which is better than me taking care of them alone.
Looking at Yan Jiecheng's pleading face, Lin Yang suddenly smiled and said, "Jiecheng, let's put aside the benefits for now. Are you confident you can take over the job? Besides, can you support your younger siblings?"
"I'm confident!" Yan Jiecheng recalled that his father had once mentioned, when he was drunk, that the vice principal of their school was no good either.
He nodded vigorously and said, "As for my younger siblings, I still have some savings at home. I can raise them until they grow up. If I have any expenses, I can just lend them some money."
He said this with perfect fluency, without feeling at all that he was doing the same thing as Yan Fugui.
What can Lin Yang say about this? He can only express his support.
When Yan Zhaoqing returned home in the evening, his friend had already brought people to complete the toilet installation.
After leaving Lou Xiao'e's house in the morning, he immediately handed his house key to Yan Zhaoqing before going to meet Ding Qiunan.
Looking at the screen in the second bedroom that blocked the toilet, Lin Yang was extremely satisfied.
While handing out cigarettes to the workers, he looked at Yan Zhaoqing and said, "Uncle Yan, you're moving too fast. I thought it would take at least two days to install."
Yan Zhaoqing looked around the room and said to Lin Yang, "Yangzi, your house is actually not bad, it's just that the floor and windows are a bit old. I'll fix them up for you when I have time, and the effect will be great!"
Upon hearing this...
Lin Yang, thinking that he would be going to the martial arts tournament soon, immediately said, "Uncle Yan, I'm going on a business trip soon. Could you help me renovate and also set up a bathroom for me?"
Yan Zhaoqing nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, after you go on your business trip, leave the key with me and I'll fix it up for you."
After paying the workers' wages, Lin Yang invited Yan Zhaoqing and his friend who had helped him get the toilet to have dinner at his home.
"Uncle Yan, Uncle Chai, it's getting late. Why don't you stay and have something to eat with us?"
This Uncle Chai's full name is Chai Jingcong, and he was once the number one figure in Beijing.
Like Fiat, who recognized the gold bricks earlier, his ancestors were also from the Imperial Workshops, except that Fiat later became a university professor.
Chai Jingcong, on the other hand, has been reselling antiques thanks to his keen eye for them.
He also worked as a middleman, helping some wealthy people with their affairs.
Unfortunately, antiques are worthless and have no market nowadays, and there aren't many wealthy people either.
Chai Jingcong's life was incredibly miserable.
Only recently, after connecting with Hong Kong Island, have we become a little more well-off.
The menu wasn't extensive, but it was definitely plentiful!
A serving of steamed ham, a serving of stir-fried cabbage with pork, a serving of stewed chicken with carrots, and a dish of spiced peanuts.
Lin Yang didn't stand on ceremony when cooking. Yan Zhaoqing cut the ham, Chai Jingcong stir-fried the cabbage, and Lin Yang made the only dish, the stewed chicken with carrots.
With everything prepared, Lin Yang pretended to take a bottle of Moutai out of the cupboard.
Carrying the bottles of wine, Lin Yang said with a smile, "As the saying goes, if there's food but no wine, you'll turn around and leave. But I can't let you go today!"
Chai Jingcong glanced at Yan Zhaoqing and said with a smile, "Old Yan, your nephew really treats you well! Moutai isn't something just anyone can drink!"
Although Yan Zhaoqing felt a little sorry for Lin Yang's wine, he still said smugly on the surface, "Of course!"
He then glanced at Chai Jingcong and said, "Old Chai, my nephew calls you Uncle Chai now, and he's prepared such a good meal. Don't you even offer any thanks?"
As he spoke, Yan Zhaoqing pursed his lips and looked at the milky white jade pendant hanging from Chai Jingcong's waist, saying, "My nephew has quite a wide range of interests; he can accept all sorts of antiques and jade."
Upon hearing this, Chai Jingcong couldn't help but smile wryly. He touched the jade pendant hanging from his waist with both hands, finally took it off, and placed it in front of Lin Yang, saying:
"Yangzi, since Old Yan has said so, then as his uncle, I should indeed do my part!"
As the saying goes, "In the prime of youth, when one is dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, fine jade should be given to a virtuous gentleman!"
"You can't be a dashing young man now, but take this jade; it's a small token of your Uncle Chai's appreciation."
Lin Yang, who was pouring wine for the two men, suddenly noticed the jade and his eyes narrowed.
