Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 321 Yan Jiecheng is rejected

After get off work the next day, Yan Jiecheng couldn't wait to go to the store to buy a box of snacks and ran to Yu Li's house.

Yan Jiecheng knocked on the door.

"Who are you?" Yu's mother opened the door and saw a young man with a snack in his hand. She asked in confusion.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li's blind date. I..."

"Stop! What blind date? Don't talk nonsense. My Yu Li hasn't had a blind date for two months! Go away, go away."

Yu's mother immediately interrupted Yan Jiecheng and wanted to drive him away and close the door.

"Auntie, auntie, please don't be like this. I've been busy at the factory lately, so I didn't come. I brought some snacks to visit you!"

Seeing that Yu's mother was about to close the door, Yan Jiecheng quickly stretched out one foot to block the middle of the door, placed the snacks in front of him, and explained.

"What's wrong with you, young man? I'm telling you straight, there's no chance for me and your family to get along, and Yu Li is even less likely to marry you. Just give up on this idea. You're still not poor, and you never expected to be poor. Look, your family hasn't woken up yet!

Hurry up and take your feet out. Who are you showing off the snacks to? If you don’t leave, I’ll call for help.”

Yu's mother glared at Yan Jiecheng angrily. She didn't expect that this man was so shameless that he dared to kick him and stop her from closing the door!

When Yan Jiecheng heard that someone was going to call for help, he immediately retracted his foot. Yu's mother also immediately closed the door.

This really confused Yan Jiecheng. He didn't expect that Yu's mother didn't even let him in the door, which meant that she didn't agree with their marriage. She also used Yan Fugui's classic quotes to satirize herself.

Yu Family

"I didn't expect Yan Jiecheng would dare to come to our house! I'm so mad." Yu's mother said angrily.

"He must have heard from somewhere that my sister found a job, and now he wants to marry her!"

Yu Haitang immediately responded.

"Look how beautiful his house is! He ignored me before when I didn't have a job, but now that he has a job, he comes to me right away. He really has a good plan!"

After Yu's mother finished speaking, she coughed a few times.

Yu Li immediately handed over a teacup, walked along Yu's mother's back, and said.

"Mom, it's not worth getting angry at this kind of person. Just ignore him and don't make yourself sick."

"Yes, yes, yes. Why should I be angry at this person who has nothing to do with me? I am so angry that I am confused. Forget about him. Let's eat, eat."

Yu's mother took a sip of water, calmed down, and called the family to eat.

At the dinner table, Yu Haitang repeated everything she had heard from Yu Shui about the Yan family, shocking everyone.

"Li, stay away from Yan Jiecheng. If he dares to bother you, just shout at him and he's a hooligan! I don't believe that we can't deal with him."

Yu's mother was worried and reminded Yu Li that hooliganism was a very serious crime nowadays and one could easily be sentenced to several years in prison.

"Mom, don't worry, I don't like him and I won't see him."

Yu Li said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, talk less while eating." Father Yu interrupted their thoughts that were about to continue the discussion.

They had no choice but to stop talking about the topic and start eating.

As for Yan Jiecheng, after being turned away by Yu's mother, he returned home in a daze.

I put the snacks on the table and sat there alone, daydreaming.

When the third aunt saw Yan Jie like this, she knew that he must have been rejected by the Yu family. Come to think of it, how could a regular worker in a steel mill like her son, a temporary worker in a small coking plant? The welfare benefits are not even on the same level!

"Jie Cheng, forget it. I'll go find a matchmaker to introduce you to someone better later."

The third aunt could only bite the bullet and say something to comfort him.

"Oh, forget it, mother. I have seen through it now. With my father around, it is impossible for me to find a good wife. I want to divide the family!"

Yan Jiecheng suddenly mentioned the idea of ​​dividing the family property, which scared the third aunt.

"Jie Cheng, you are my eldest son, we can't split it up. It will make the neighbors laugh at you. Do you want your mother to live? If you dare to do what the eldest son of the Liu family does, your mother will die in front of you."

The third aunt burst into tears immediately after she finished speaking. She also knew that her son had been wronged, but dividing the family was absolutely not an option.

"Mom, that's fine. Let's not talk about the division of the family for now. Anyway, I can't stay in this house any longer. I'm going to move back to the factory dormitory tomorrow. The accommodation fee is several times cheaper than Dad's!"

Seeing that his mother was threatening to commit suicide, Yan Jiecheng stopped talking about dividing the family property. After talking about living in the factory, he went back to his room, and then came back to take the snacks on the table.

Looking at Yan Jiecheng's attitude, the third aunt knew that she could not persuade her son, so she could only wait for Yan Fugui to come back.

Soon, Yan Fugui also came back from Kunming Lake, and he actually caught four fish, weighing about two or three kilograms.

"Ruihua, look, I caught four fish. I'll go to the night market tonight and I can exchange them for some food, enough for several meals."

Yan Fugui was still talking with a smile on his face, not paying any attention to the expression of the third aunt.

"What fish? Your son is almost dead!" said the third aunt with a sigh.

"What happened? What son is gone?" Yan Fugui was confused and asked hurriedly.

"Dad, I know. My eldest brother went to his blind date's house today, but was sent back. After he came back, he said he wanted to live in the factory instead of at home."

Yan Jiekuang explained.

"There's nothing we can do about this. Who knows where Yu Li got the job? She must have hooked up with some man. It's better not to have such a woman.

I went in and told him to cook the smallest fish, taste it and add more water.”

Yan Fugui still had his own ideas. He then put down the fish bucket and entered Yan Jiecheng's room.

After a series of bargaining, Yan Jiecheng agreed only after Yan Fugui promised to find him another good girl and reduce the rent by half in the future.

When the family returned to the dinner table, they started another family meeting.

"Jie Cheng, please stop saying things that are detrimental to family harmony. It's just a woman! You can just ask someone to introduce you to someone else.

We have a bicycle now, and my father has a radio ticket. When we have enough money, we can buy a radio. I am afraid there won’t be a good family willing to marry her!"

Yan Fugui explained with a smile that the radio ticket was given to him by a parent, who asked him to help change a seat for his son and to take care of him.

"Really? Where's the ticket? Let me see it." Yan Jiecheng was immediately happy when he heard that there was a radio ticket.

Yan Fugui looked at the whole family staring at him, and took out the radio ticket with a smile.

"How is it? Dad didn't lie to you!"

"Dad, this ticket will expire in three months, let's go buy it!"

Yan Jiefang looked at the deadline for the radio ticket and said to Yan Fugui.

"The money is not enough, so I'll ask you two brothers to contribute." Yan Fugui smiled with a calculating smile.

"Dad, I'm just a temporary worker, how can I make any money? Besides, don't we both hand over five dollars every month?"

Yan Jiecheng immediately realized Yan Fugui's intention. It turned out that he wanted his two brothers to pay for the radio.

"Dad, I don't even have a temporary job. I live on odd jobs. I can barely afford five dollars, and you still want me to pay for it!"

Yan Jiefang also added a sentence.

"Look at you two, you've got nothing to show for it! I bought you a bicycle and a radio, but why? It was to prepare for your future marriage!

Think about it, if we have a bicycle and a radio, will that girl still look down on us?"

After Yan Fugui finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang were silent. They knew that this was indeed true, but they were unwilling to pay the money, so they could only keep silent.

"Well, I don't need you to pay more. The radio costs about a hundred dollars. You two can pay half, twenty-five dollars each, and I, as your father, will pay the rest. How do you think?"

Seeing that the two were silent, Yan Fugui directly stated his proposal.

The radio actually only cost about 80 yuan, but he deliberately said it cost a little more so that he could pay less.

"Okay, I'll get back to you later."

Yan Jiecheng was a little reluctant to pay twenty-five yuan, but thinking that it would be much easier for him to find a wife after owning a radio, he agreed.

"Dad, I don't have that much money. Anyway, I still have several years to get married, so there's no rush."

Yan Jiefang spread his hands, indicating that he had no money.

"Okay, I know it's unrealistic for you to come up with so much money all at once, so I'll give you the 25 yuan first. You can pay an extra two yuan every month, and then you won't have any pressure."

Yan Fugui had thought about these problems a long time ago and had already prepared solutions.

When Yan Jiefang heard this, he wanted to refuse, but after thinking it over, he remained silent and agreed.

"Okay, okay, Ruihua, take out the food and I'll share it among everyone. There's fish soup today, one portion for each person."

Seeing that the problem was solved, Yan Fugui began to distribute the food and eat.

The Yan family's meals were also very strange, they had to be distributed equally. Yan Jiedi would not get one less steamed bun just because she was younger; and Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang would not get one more steamed bun just because they paid for food. It was absolutely fair and just!
