Their attitude changed from aggressive at the beginning to wanting to live in the Yan family's house, leaving Chen's mother completely confused.
Finally, after getting rid of these plagues, Yan Xiaoqiang grabbed Bei Nan by the ear and began to lecture him:
"Tell me, who are they, and why are you afraid of them!"
Yan Beinan covered his ears and said, "Dad, they are my classmates. They joined the army. They fought with me before and I beat them to a pulp."
"Let me tell you, Bei Nan, if you dare to mess around with them, don't blame me for breaking your legs," Yan Xiaoqiang said viciously.
Bei Nan lowered his head, and Yan Xiaonan saw the resentment in his eyes. His father's education was too simplistic and brutal.
Teenagers at this age are very rebellious and have a very strong sense of self. Simple and crude education will backfire.
Yan Xiaonan held Bei Nan's hand and said, "Third Brother, you're amazing. If you hadn't been home today, those people would have definitely made a complete mess of the house."
Bei Nan's eyes lit up; there were still people in the family who saw her good points.
"Nan Nan, do you really think so?" Bei Nan needed confirmation.
Sigh, what an insecure young man. Yan Xiaonan nodded vigorously. "That guy called Maotou changed his attitude when he saw you. I feel so good about it."
"Tch, a defeated opponent, not worth mentioning." Bei Nan was smug.
Yan Xiaonan caught a glimpse of her father about to lose his temper and quickly said, "Third brother, you must remember, just scare people, don't kill anyone. Otherwise you'll end up in jail."
Bei Nan didn't care at all: "Let's eat it, I'll just pay with my life."
Yan Xiaoqiang is on the verge of exploding.
Yan Xiaonan hurriedly said, "But if you go to jail, I won't be able to take the college entrance exam, my eldest brother won't be able to join the Party, and my second brother will be fired from the factory."
The entire room fell silent; everyone stared at Yan Xiaonan. Was it really that serious?!
Bei Nan's mouth was wide open; you could fit an egg inside.
The consequences of this were something that neither North nor South could afford, and they knew they could no longer engage in fights casually.
Nan Nan is teaching me, in a roundabout way, how to be a person and how to do things; I should be grateful.
Seeing Yan Xiaonan's gaze soften, he picked her up and started spinning her around:
“Nan Nan, my sister, thank you, Third Brother, for giving me a guiding light.”
Yan Xiaonan shouted, "Third Brother, stop spinning! I'm dizzy!"
I was shocked. It was just a piece of advice meant to back down, how could it be escalated to a guiding light? It's terrifying.
Bei Nan stopped and walked up to Yan Xiaoqiang: "Dad, don't worry, I won't do anything reckless."
Grandma Yan nodded with a smile: "My dear in-law, I want to thank two people today. One is Bei Nan, and the other is you. If you hadn't come to deliver the news, my family would definitely have been in trouble."
Mother Chen shook her head: "My dear in-law, you can't thank me. It's all because of my unfilial son. That ingrate, I won't forgive him."
After Tang Xiaoling returned the hen to her parents' home, she told Tang Jianjun that something had happened at the Yan family's house, and that they should keep the chickens for now. Then she hurriedly ran back home.
Seeing Bei Nan chatting happily with them, I finally felt a little relieved.
I helped Cuihua knead the dough and make pancakes, and only after seeing these people off did I truly recover.
While Tang Xiaoling wasn't looking, Yan Xiaonan restored the kitchen to its original state.
Xiaoling didn't notice these details; she was currently busy helping Cuihua cook rice and meat to prepare for entertaining her grandmother.
After the meal, Grandma Yan asked Yan Xiaoqiang to borrow an oxcart to take her in-laws back home. They would stay overnight and wouldn't need to come back.
Southwest spoke up: "Grandma, I'll ride my bicycle to take Grandma back, and I can still make it back in time. We can't leave Dad alone there."
“Okay, Cuihua, make sure to put more padding on the back of the bicycle, otherwise my in-laws won’t be able to sit for so long.”
Grandma Yan had ridden that bicycle before. The road was already bumpy, and she preferred to walk rather than sit on the back.
Cuihua hurriedly went inside, and the house was like it had been before liberation, with broken and tattered things everywhere. Cuihua could only find Yan Xiaonan's old diaper pad from when he was a child.
I carefully tied the diaper pad to the back of the bicycle with a rope, and even rubbed it against myself. It's nice and soft.
Yan Xinan took his grandmother home by bicycle. Before leaving, his grandmother refused to accept anything from the Yan family. She thought her own ingrate had done such a thing, losing all face, and still had the nerve to take things.
Unbeknownst to Cuihua, her own father had gone to the village committee and announced that he was severing his father-son and mother-son relationships with Chen Xiaolong.
His eldest brother and sister-in-law, as well as his second brother and sister-in-law, also signed their names on the letter severing ties.
How could Chen Xiaolong sever ties with his parents? He knelt before Old Man Chen, bowed his head, and admitted his mistake.
It was only then that everyone learned what Chen Xiaolong had done. The villagers of Chenjia Village were in an uproar, and even the village chief sided with Old Man Chen.
Old Man Chen remained unmoved, waving his hand to have his eldest and second sons restrain Chen Xiaolong. He then took Chen Xiaolong's hand, pressed it against the red clay, and then pressed it hard against the letter severing ties.
Then, looking at Xiaohua, he asked, "Should you do it yourself, or should I have my two daughters-in-law do it?"
Xiaohua pressed her fingerprint indifferently. It's just severing ties, why make such a fuss?
The eldest sister-in-law spoke up: "Father, since we've severed ties, we don't want to live in the same courtyard as them. What if he reports us again someday?"
Second sister-in-law nodded: "Dad, if you still report Cuihua for being so good to them, what if we have any unhappiness in the future? Won't we be reported to death?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Living in the same courtyard, it's inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises; such things could really happen.
After pondering for a while, the village chief said to Old Man Chen, "Since you've severed ties, let's do it thoroughly. You can switch places with that couple and go back to live there."
The eldest brother and sister-in-law, the second brother and sister-in-law nodded vigorously, saying, "The village chief is right. It's too scary to live with a heartless wretch."
Old Man Chen was unwilling; this was his mother's old house, and he couldn't give it to that ungrateful wretch.
Besides, this place was funded by Qiangzi and Cuihua, and with their daily repairs and maintenance, it's already in excellent condition.
Most importantly, if we go back there, Qiangzi and Cuihua might not come back, which won't do. We can't lose contact with our daughter because of these unfilial sons.
The village chief of Chenjia Village rolled his eyes and realized that Old Man Chen was worried. He regretted his rashness and immediately tried to make amends.
“Chen Xiaolong, since you have severed ties with the Chen family, you must move out of the Chen family compound. The village will allocate a piece of land for you to build your own house.”
Chen Xiaolong refused: "Village chief, Dad, where am I supposed to get the money to build a house? I won't move unless you give me the money to build one."
Old Chen didn't care about them. He said to his eldest and second sons, "I have nothing to do with him anymore. If you want him to move, then help him build a new house."
Eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law "......."
