Chapter 246: You tell my old man to get lost
Shazhu wasn't in the Yan family, so naturally he didn't know about the farce happening there; otherwise he would definitely have given Yan Jiecheng a thumbs up and praised him as a good man.
He would also envy Qin Huairu's good fortune in his heart; in his previous life he helped her pull the rickshaw, and in this life the person pulling the rickshaw has become the Yan family's eldest son, Yan Jiecheng.
He likes Qin Huairu very much.
He leaves Ran Qiuye unmarried.
He insists on considering a widow.
Talent.
He also made Yan Fugui half-dead with anger.
Marry a widow with a bad reputation.
For Yan Fugui, who always cares about face, this is truly an extremely embarrassing matter; he estimates he will never be able to lift his head in front of the neighbors for the rest of his life.
Yan Fugui doesn't look down on widows; he looks down on widows who don't observe womanly virtues.
Qin Huairu's infamous reputation.
The steel plant with over ten thousand workers all knew about it.
As the eldest son of the top family, you leave the unmarried young lady alone, but instead you insist on thinking about a widow.
He definitely won't accept it.
Also because of Yan Jiecheng's own motives; this guy, in order to take revenge on the Yan family, becomes ruthless, even scheming against himself, aiming for the title of Green Hat Hero.
He directly expressed his attitude.
Whether Yan Fugui lives or dies, he has decided to marry Qin Huairu.
He stepped forward.
He wanted to go out and go to the Jia family to formally propose to Qin Huairu in person.
Third Aunt tightly hugged Yan Jiecheng's thigh with both hands, and tears immediately streamed down.
"Oldest brother, what exactly are you thinking? Listen, is this what you should be saying? If you die, I'll marry Qin Huairu; if you don't die, I'll still marry Qin Huairu. Mom knows you're just venting anger, angry at your dad for not timely greeting the matchmaker; this matter has your dad's responsibility, but also the other side's reasons; marriage is a matter between two people; what's with you getting all heated over a barber's pole? Yu Li hasn't even looked at you at all, doesn't even know your name; even if we ask the matchmaker, this won't work out; in the world, which parents don't consider their own children?"
"Let him go." Yan Fugui, fuming, pointed at the door and shouted, "Out this door, you never come back; at worst I'll treat you as not my son."
"Old Yan, what are you doing? The child doesn't understand; don't you understand either? You insist on pushing the child to a dead end, and then you're satisfied?"
"Is he still a child? He's twenty-five or six; other families, at that age, their children already have children."
"Now you blame me for not getting married? Isn't that your fault? Earlier I told you to take five yuan to hire a matchmaker; you said five yuan is too expensive, wait until you have time, find a cheap one."
Yan Jiecheng was full of grievances.
He had to vent.
I don't understand; when eating meat, you scheme; when eating cornbread, you also scheme; I don't resent that, but when it comes to marrying a wife, you still scheme; are you waiting until after you die to still scheme, calculating which grave is cheaper, which is more expensive?
"Get lost." Yan Fugui pointed at Yan Jiecheng's nose and shouted, "Get the hell out of here."
You think my marrying Qin Huairu brings shame to the Yan family? That's not cheap; it saved the matchmaker fee, exactly fulfilling your wish.
Yan Jiecheng is determined to make a big fuss.
He counted on his fingers.
He began to count the benefits of marrying Qin Huairu.
Truly worthy of being Yan Fugui's eldest son, he came up with the idiom 'one step into place'.
The so-called 'one step into place' means that after he marries Qin Huairu, Yan Fugui instantly becomes a grandfather, Third Aunt instantly becomes a grandmother, and Yan Jiefang instantly becomes an uncle and aunt.
The Yan family thus instantly gained a grandson and two granddaughters.
Bangeng calls Yan Jiecheng Dad, calls Yan Fugui Grandpa, while Xiao Dang and Huaihua call Third Aunt Grandma.
Using Yan Jiecheng's own words to describe: marrying Qin Huairu, she brings three kids, dragging a mother-in-law; not only is the population thriving, but also fulfills the dream of having grandchildren surrounding the knees; it's equivalent to Yan Fugui making a killing.
This reason.
Yan Fugui trembled all over with anger.
It also scared Third Aunt enough.
His hand loosened.
He stood there dazed.
Looking foolishly at his eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, being shrewd, took the opportunity when Third Aunt loosened her grip, and dashed out of the Yan family running toward Zhong Yuan.
It was obvious he was going to look for Qin Huairu.
If you can't scheme, you'll end up poor; now it's fine, the son insists on marrying a widow with baggage, this is the result of your scheming.
Yan Fugui gloomily stared at Yan Jiecheng's retreating back, not saying a word.
Perhaps he had given up hope.
After several dozen seconds.
He let out a long sigh.
He also lazily sat on the kang.
What are you sitting there for? Go find the eldest brother; it's late, he really brought Qin Huairu home as his wife.
Not in a hurry.
It's already this late, and you're still not in a hurry? You're losing the Yan family's face.
He's indeed surnamed Yan, but he's not a member of the Yan family.
Old man, what do you mean? You really don't acknowledge the eldest brother?
He's him, we're us; in this family, I have the final say.
Yan Fugui, who usually looks kind as a teacher, now looks ferocious, very scary.
Second, third, fourth brothers, I lay down the words: if the eldest brother marries that shameless widow Qin Huairu and brings her in, you are not allowed to acknowledge him, nor call Qin Huairu sister-in-law; if you acknowledge them, you are no longer members of the Yan family; also your wives cannot acknowledge them, or you will lose the Yan family's face; he is not worthy of the Yan surname.
It seemed as if he had exhausted all his strength.
His whole body was hunched over.
It gave off an air of old age.
"Jiefang, take a look at how he is?"
Yan Fugui handed Ran Qiuye's photo to Yan Jiefang.
The abacus expert's plan was not bad.
If the eldest son doesn't marry, then the second son will; after all, they're both daughters-in-law of his Yan family, without even considering whether Ran Qiuye agrees or not.
……
After Yan Jiecheng left the Yan Family,
He stormed toward the Jia Family, full of killing intent.
Upon arriving at the west room of Zhong Yuan, originally the Jia Family's residence, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He muttered to himself, "How could the Jia Family not even bother to turn on the lights?"
He originally intended to stand at the doorway and loudly call Qin Huairu's name, but then felt it would be abrupt, so he thought of entering the Jia Family's house, either in front of Jia Zhangshi or in front of Bangeng and them, to openly declare his determination to marry Qin Huairu.
He walked to the front of the house door.
He pushed with his hand.
It didn't open.
He stretched his head forward to examine the door closely.
He discovered that several locks had been added to it.
His heart turned cold instantly.
Where did the Jia Family go?
How did the door get locked?
This afternoon, while everyone was helping the Jia Family move, Yan Jiecheng wasn't there; unaware that the Jia Family members had been kindly driven by the Siheyuan's neighbors to the Hou Yuan, where they moved into Long Laotaitai's room.
Couldn't find Qin Huairu.
He also couldn't perform a solo act.
He was about to return to the front courtyard.
His gaze unintentionally swept over Shazhu's house in the main residence, his eyes showing various expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred, and he found himself unable to move his feet.
He heard Yu Li teasing her son from beside his ear.
"Weiguo, you must grow up quickly; when you're grown, help Mom discipline your father."
Yan Jiecheng's heart stirred.
He pondered: Could it be that Yu Li and Shazhu have developed a conflict?
