Yan Zhigao was worried that no one would carry his coffin or burn paper money for him after he died, so he raised his two nephews as if they were his sons.
They hope that the elderly will take care of them in their old age.
Therefore, they are treated especially well.
Whenever I came back from town, I would secretly bring them meat buns or candies to eat.
Meanwhile, his only daughter, Yan Xiaocui, couldn't even get a scrap of her.
The Yan brothers had a better relationship with Yan Zhigao than with their own father.
Hearing Yan Zhigao ask.
The two answered him happily. "Uncle, we're going to visit our great-aunt to wish her a Happy New Year. Dad said that when we get there, we'll have meat to eat, and our great-aunt will give us lucky money."
"Grandma? You mean Yan Xia?" Yan Zhigao's smile froze.
My older brother must have gone mad.
Will their aunt be able to forgive them? I'm afraid the two children wouldn't even get a seat on the sidelines.
He thought to himself.
“Let’s not go, okay? Your aunt’s family is having New Year’s Eve dinner. If you want to eat meat, after the New Year, your uncle will go to town to do odd jobs and buy meat for you.” Yan Zhigao didn’t want his two nephews to be bullied by Yan Xia, so he said this while pulling the two of them to walk back.
"Let go, you bad guy, you big bad guy! You just don't want us to eat meat! I hate you! I won't take care of you when you're old! Let go, let go—"
Yan Hongtian broke free, grabbed his younger brother, and ran away.
His words chilled Yan Zhigao to the bone.
"Sure enough, you can't raise children who aren't your own." He glanced at the backs of his two nephews, but after only a second, he turned and went back.
The two brothers ran to Yan Xia's house.
The gate was not closed.
Everyone inside was busy.
"Who are you looking for?" A maid who was in charge of cleaning came out and asked, seeing the child lingering at the door.
"We've come to visit our great-aunt and wish her a Happy New Year."
Yan Hongtian said.
"Grandma? Who is your grandma?" The maid was completely bewildered when she heard this, as she was unaware of the Yan family's connections.
"Ru'er, go sweep the backyard." Yan Xia walked over while she was in a daze.
"Yes, mistress, I'll go right away." After the maid left, Yan Xia went outside.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Grandma, we've come to wish you a Happy New Year." Yan Hongtian saw Yan Xia, extended his palm upwards.
Judging from this, it seems they want New Year's money.
"No need, let's go home." It was the New Year, and Yan Xia didn't want to scold anyone, especially the children. Although she wasn't short of money, she didn't want to give Yan Chun's family a single penny.
"I'm not going back. Dad told me to come and eat meat. Grandma, I want to eat meat, and I also want my New Year's money. You haven't given me any yet. Dad and Grandpa said you're very rich. Can you give me my New Year's money?"
Yan Hongtian never lowered his outstretched hand.
He stared longingly at Yan Xia.
Yan Hongying, standing to the side, also imitated her brother.
He reached out his hand.
Dealing with adults is something Yan Xia excels at.
But faced with two tiny children, she felt helpless.
If we take a hard approach, it will be bad luck if they cry during the New Year. If we try a soft approach, these two kids are so stubborn and they don't seem like people who can be coaxed away.
Just when she didn't know what to do...
Chang Lu has arrived.
"What do you two want? Coming to someone else's house to beg for food during the New Year? Are your families starving? You want lucky money? Fine, come on, stretch out your hands!"
The two brothers quickly moved their hands in another direction.
It was aimed at Chang Lu.
The next second, Chang Lu put his right hand behind his buttocks and let out a loud fart.
"Pfft—" Hot air came out, and he quickly grabbed the fart and placed it in the palms of the two brothers.
"No money, but plenty of farts. Take it, you're welcome."
"Mom, dinner's almost ready, come back quickly, I'm going to close the door."
Chang Lu pulled Yan Xia inside.
With a "bang," the door slammed shut.
Neither of the brothers had recovered from the shock.
They were staring at each other, looking at each other.
"Wow--"
"Big brother, I don't want to be arrogant, I want my New Year's money, wow—"
The younger Yan Hongying burst into tears after realizing what had happened.
"What are you crying for! I'm going home to tell Dad!" Yan Hongtian's eyes were also red with anger. He put his palm on his clothes and rubbed it hard, occasionally gagging.
Hahahaha—
Chang Lu, who was hiding inside the door, laughed until his stomach hurt when he heard the brothers' footsteps leaving.
"You child, you're really disgusting."
Yan Xia couldn't stop laughing either.
She can't handle the children.
But her child can handle it.
Chang Lu had the two brothers outside the door completely under his thumb.
On the other side.
The two brothers cried as they went home. As soon as they reached the door, their howls echoed throughout the Yan family's old house.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with Grandma's eldest grandson? Who bullied you? Tell Grandma, and Grandma will go and scold him."
Zhang San Niang walked out of the kitchen with wet hands.
He hugged the two brothers and coaxed them.
"Waaah, Grandma, I don't want to smelly farts."
Yan Hongying's voice trembled as he cried. He held his arms out straight with his palms facing up, as if the farther his hands were apart, the less smelly they would be.
"Stinky fart? Who farted at you? You beast, why would you fart at me during the New Year? Did a wasp sting your ass?" The two brothers' mother, Xu Xiangxiang, cursed.
"It's my uncle. We asked him for New Year's money, and he gave us a big, arrogant fart," Yan Hongqi said, his face puffed out.
"Chang Lu? He actually treated you like that? Did your great-aunt say anything?" Yan Zhiqiang asked his eldest son with a frown.
“No, my great-aunt didn’t give us any either. When my cousin gave us that big jerk, my great-aunt didn’t say anything. She and my cousin even locked us out,” Yan Hongtian replied.
"Brother, we've already had such a falling out with Aunt, why are you sending the two kids over to cause trouble? It's the New Year, why make the kids cry? Sigh."
Yan Zhigao was somewhat dissatisfied.
He couldn't understand what his older brother was thinking.
That's how they treated their aunt back then.
How could my aunt possibly forgive them?
"None of your business! They're my sons, I can do whatever I want with them, you're not happy about it? Go have your own son then!"
Yan Zhiqiang, who was already in a bad mood, vented his anger on his younger brother.
He had said these things many times before.
But today, Yan Zhigao was disheartened by the two brothers.
"Ha, Father, let's divide the family. Don't expect me to raise these two brats anymore. I'll find a husband for Xiao Cui! Before, your whole family was lazy and good-for-nothing. I did most of the work in the fields, and I tolerated it because I was counting on my two nephews to take care of me in my old age. Now, ha, after hearing what you said, I know that even brothers have to keep clear accounts! Fortunately, I realized it in time."
After Yan Zhigao finished speaking, he turned around and went back into the house.
No matter how much people were shouting and yelling outside, he ignored them.
She just sat on the bed, holding her daughter, lost in thought.
A short while later, his wife, Zou, came in.
"Honey, dinner is ready. It's time for our New Year's Eve dinner. We're all family, so a little argument is fine, but don't make things too tense."
