When Yan Bugui returned home, he saw his whole family sitting at the table, eagerly awaiting his arrival.
Looking at the ardent gazes of his family, Yan Bugui lowered his head in shame.
Seeing his wife like this, Yang Ruihua naturally understood that they had failed.
But Yan Jiecheng didn't see through the trick and asked his father, "Dad,
"You and Xu Damao are such good friends, did he promote you to be his second uncle?"
"Shut up." Yu Li noticed that Yan Bugui's expression was a bit off and hurriedly scolded Yan Jiecheng.
"Shut up, what are you shut up about? This is great news for our family!"
"Congratulations to Dad for regaining his throne as the head of the courtyard house!" Yan Jiecheng said, seeing his wife say this.
He scolded her directly, saying, "You really don't know any better! This is a great thing for our family!"
"Shut up." Yang Ruihua couldn't stand it anymore and directly scolded Yan Jiecheng.
"Mom, look at you! Hurry up and take out the peanuts and melon seeds left over from the New Year."
"Let's all celebrate together!" Yan Jiecheng said excitedly.
Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi, who had been silent, heard their elder brother mention peanuts and melon seeds.
I immediately swallowed the saliva that kept welling up in my mouth. It's been so long since I've had peanuts and sunflower seeds.
"What are you eating for? All you ever do is eat. Go back to sleep. Why are you everywhere?"
Yang Ruihua was so angry that he cursed at Yan Jiecheng.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jiecheng said to his mother with genuine anger, "Mom, look at you..."
What are you planning to do? You're not going to sneak some food after we leave, are you? Let me tell you...
We know perfectly well how much is left!
"Alright, what are you saying? Hurry up and go back," Yu Li could no longer tolerate Yan Jiecheng.
He reached out and dragged Yan Jiecheng away.
Yang Ruihua saw Yan Jiecheng being dragged away by his daughter-in-law, and then whispered a scolding to the remaining three children:
"Alright, it's getting late, you should all go to bed."
After the children left, Yan Bugui finally breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head at his wife.
Seeing this, Yang Ruihua simply sat silently beside Yan Bugui. Just as Yan Bugui returned...
Yang Ruihua sensed that something was wrong with his wife's mental state. What could have happened?
In fact, Yan Bugui was constantly thinking about his future path on his way home.
Yan Bugui, the old man from the courtyard house, said he didn't want to be one, but that's a lie.
But to actually be like Cui Dake, bowing and scraping to Xu Damao, is something I just can't do.
I'm the only scholar in this courtyard house. Am I really going to give up such a lowly position as a minor official?
So you bowed and scraped before Xu Damao?
Well, being an ordinary person is actually quite nice, especially in this era.
Yan Bugui trembled with fear at the thought of what had happened to the others.
Yan Bugui held his wife's hand tightly, indicating that he was alright.
Yan Bugui looked up at Yang Ruihua's nervous expression and slowly said, "Ruihua, this old man..."
We're quitting. From now on, the Yan family will just live as ordinary people in this courtyard house.
Living a peaceful and quiet life, as long as the family is safe and sound, is better than anything else.
"Okay, whatever you say. Alright, it's getting late, let's go to sleep." Yang Ruihua nodded.
On the other side, Yan Jiecheng was still sulking with Yu Li, "Wife, why did you pull me like that?"
"Our dads will definitely sneak a bite after we leave!!"
"No, I have to go check. This isn't fair. What if they've stolen all the peanuts and melon seeds?"
"What should we do?" Yan Jiecheng said, preparing to get up and run towards the room where Yan Bugui was sleeping.
When Yu Li saw this, she couldn't stand it anymore. Had she been blind? How could she have chosen such a thing?
Yu Li now finds Yan Jiecheng increasingly displeasing; she's just too angry with him.
"Go where? Haven't you figured it out yet? Dad's got no chance this time!!" Yu Li yelled impatiently at Yan Jiecheng.
"What?! Yu Li, you're not lying to me, are you? How could this be? Everyone in the whole hospital knows..."
"Our dad and Xu Damao are good friends. Now that Xu Damao's a big shot, shouldn't they promote our dad?"
Yan Jiecheng said with some doubt.
"Hmph, good relationship? You know Dad's personality. Whoever gives him something, he's on good terms with them."
Xu Damao and our dad used to have a good relationship because Xu Damao was very generous.
Moreover, Xu Damao doesn't have many friends in the compound, which is why he's trying to win over our dad.
"Do you think Xu Damao still needs to keep currying favor with our dad?" Yu Li suppressed her anger.
He slowly explained to Yan Jiecheng.
"Damn it, Xu Damao, that ungrateful bastard!"
"If it weren't for our dad, Xu Damao..." Yan Jiecheng said somewhat angrily.
"What do you mean 'him'? Xu Damao is now a leader of the sports meet. What's wrong? Are you thinking of getting revenge on him?"
"You? I'm not looking down on you, but you're way behind. Alright, go to bed now."
Yu Li said to Yan Jiecheng with some disdain.
Meanwhile, Liu Haizhong was drinking alone at home, brooding over that damned Xu Damao.
So what if I became a junior leader at the sports meet?
So cocky! I've begged you like dirt, and you still ignore me, not even offering me a title of "second-in-command."
You've forgotten how you begged me back then?! Liu Haizhong was getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Xu Damao, you bastard, just you wait until I make it big, you just wait!
Just as Liu Haizhong was about to pour himself another glass, he discovered that the bottle was empty.
Liu Haizhong grew angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. "Xu Damao, you son of a bitch!"
You think you're so tough? I can't mess with you.
Liu Haizhong suddenly spotted the Liu brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, sneaking out, and the anger he had been suppressing could no longer be contained.
He pulled out his belt from his waist and gave the two brothers a good beating with Seven Wolves liquor.
This overwhelming fatherly love completely stunned the two brothers. Why was they being beaten when they had tried to escape?
The two brothers begged for mercy while glancing at their mother, but it was Liu Guangtian's mother...
She just watched coldly: "Serves you right, who told you to make your dad angry again?"
"You knew your dad was in a bad mood today, and you still dared to provoke him. You deserve it, Lao Liu, give him a good beating!"
When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu heard their mother say this...
The light in his eyes gradually dimmed. He crouched on the ground, head in his hands, feeling wronged, accepting the mountain-like fatherly love emanating from his bangs.
Soon, the screams of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu echoed throughout the entire courtyard.
