Siheyuan: Domineering life

A month later.

The weather gradually becomes cooler in October.

The children have started school, and there are less laughter and laughter in the yard. Yang Jun goes to work at two o'clock every day. As long as he doesn't go to work, he will lie down on the Diaoyutai as soon as he finishes eating.

The days passed slowly and comfortably. If it weren't for the changing seasons, Yang Jun would not be able to feel the passage of time.

Yang Huai's matter has been settled for twelve years.

Neither light nor serious, this was all for Yang Jun's sake and he was given a light punishment.

You know, this is a human life. In the 1990s, this kind of thing was usually done by eating peanuts. To be able to end up like this is not bad.

Yang Jun's brothers and sisters didn't interfere, and they just did whatever they wanted.

No matter what, Yang Huai must be taught a lesson this time.

If you can change it, change it. If you can't change it, just treat it as someone taking care of it so that it doesn't cause trouble for the family.

"Returning to the boat late after all the fun, and straying into the depths of lotus flowers."

"Strive for the crossing, fight for the crossing, startle a sea of ​​gulls and herons."

Looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, Yang Jun became inspired by poetry and recited two sentences casually.

"Good poetry, good poetry."

Sun Zhaocai squatted next to him, nibbling mooncakes and nodding in agreement.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so I ate the mooncakes in advance.

Two hours have passed since breakfast, and this guy has never stopped talking.

"You know a hammer."

Yang Jun rolled his eyes: "I think it's time to buy a pair of mandarin ducks in our pond, what do you think?"

When Sun Zhaocai heard this, he blinked a few times.

"That thing is only available in the park, you can't buy it at all."

Yang Jun glared at him: "If you can't buy it, you won't think of a way?"

When Sun Zhaocai heard this, he had a troubled expression on his face.

He scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "How about getting two ducks?"

"Do you think others are as blind as you?"

"What's the difference between that stuff? I can't tell it anyway." Sun Zhaocai muttered in a low voice.

Yang Jun rolled his eyes and ignored him.

"Hold on tight, otherwise the poem I wrote will be in vain."

"I know." Sun Zhaocai said angrily.

At this moment, Yi Qiushui was seen walking towards this side in a hurry.

She was three months pregnant, and her belly was slightly bulging. However, her figure was already slim, so she didn't look that bloated.

Seeing her hurried look, Yang Jun quickly stood up and went to meet her.

"Oh, please slow down, you are such a big person, why are you so irritable?"

Yang Jun supported her and let her lie on his chair.

"Baby, you came just in time. I just made a poem. Please help me correct it."

When Yi Qiushui heard this, she rolled her eyes at him.

"You still have the heart to recite poems and write poems, but I can't wait to do it."

Yang Jun was stunned: "What happened?"

Yi Qiushui: "I just received a call from my mother, saying she would be back the day after tomorrow to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"what?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he no longer looked so relaxed.

Yang Huai's matter has not been hidden from her so far. If she comes back for the festival and finds that Yang Huai is not there, there may be another violent storm.

"How about...how many days do I go on a business trip tomorrow?"

Yang Jun asked cautiously.

Yi Qiushui punched him with her little pink fist.

"Oh, you ran away, what should we do?"

"If you can escape, a monk can't escape from the temple. Mom will know about this sooner or later. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime."

"Besides, is this the responsibility that a grown man should have?"

Yang Jun smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Hey, I don't know this truth, but... I really don't know how to open my mouth and tell my mother about this."

Yi Qiushui: "If there's anything you can't say, just tell the truth."

"You said it lightly, you're not the one who got scolded?"

"It wasn't me."

Yi Qiushui whispered: "Do you still expect to be able to escape this scolding?"

Yang Jun smiled bitterly when he heard this.

He took a small bench and sat a little away from Yi Qiushui, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.

"Hey, I thought about it carefully. Instead of letting my mother know about it passively, it's better to tell her proactively. What do you think?"

Yi Qiushui pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then nodded.

"This is also true."

"Mom knows. The most she will be angry with you is that you stood by and did nothing. Don't wait for her to find out and complain."

Yang Jun thought for a while and said, "How about... I let Mei Zi speak?"

Hearing this, Yi Qiushui rolled her eyes at him again.

"You are the eldest brother, are you embarrassed? You blame your sister for everything."

Yang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Am I the kind of irresponsible person? I don't know how to open my mouth...hey."

Yang Jun really didn't know how to tell Wang Yuying about this.

Wang Yuying has always used Lao Wu and Yang Huai as a precious egg. She puts it in her hand for fear of falling off, and puts it in her mouth for fear of melting. If she knew that Lao Wu had gone in, she would not be able to cause havoc in the palace, and the family would have a good life. .

"I think it's better for you to tell your mother in person. If she knew you were shirking responsibility, she might be even more angry." Yi Qiushui said.

Yang Jun sighed: "That's it, I said so."

After much thought, it would be better to tell someone on your own initiative.

"I will go to the ancestral hall in person later and tell her about this."

After saying that, Yang Jun added: "Hey, you come with me too, don't let the old lady punish me by kneeling in the ancestral hall."

When Yi Qiushui heard this, she curled her lips and said with a smile, "Look at your potential."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "Okay, just get ready. I'll go back and change clothes first and go with you."

Seeing Yi Qiushui getting up with difficulty, Yang Jun suddenly thought of something.

"You'd better not go."

"What's wrong?" Yi Qiushui looked at him in shock.

Yang Jun pointed to her belly: "You are pregnant, so you cannot go to the ancestral hall."

"Oh, why did I forget this?"

Yi Qiushui patted her head, looking apologetic.

"If I don't go with you, if our mother punishes you..."

Yang Jun waved his hand and said: "You can't avoid what's coming, so don't worry about it. I'll figure it out myself."

Yi Qiushui took Yang Jun's hand and said apologetically: "Husband, when the time comes, I'm going to be a bit discerning. Please follow our mother's lead and don't always contradict her."

"I'm not stupid." Yang Jun said with a bitter smile.

……

After half an hour.

Yang Jun's special car drove to the suburbs.

Come to the ancestral hall.

Looking at the majestic ancestral hall, Yang Jun was filled with emotions.

He didn't rush in, but stood at the door and smoked two cigarettes.

After smoking two cigarettes, he patted his butt and went in directly.

"Jun'er, why are you here?"

As soon as she saw Yang Jun, Wang Yuying smiled all over her face.

To be honest, after these two months of separation, she still missed her child a little.

Yang Jun smiled and said, "I'm here to take you back to the city to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Hey, what are you going to pick up? It's not like there's no car here. I'll just ask the driver to take me back when the time comes."

When Yang Jun heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "You can't say that. I don't want to do this to others."

"Actually... I have something else to tell you this time."

Wang Yuying was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

I have never seen Yang Jun so serious. He came here for the first time just for this matter.

Looking at Yang Jun's expression, she also realized that Yang Jun must have something important to tell her.

"Go to the ancestral hall, it's convenient there."

When Yang Jun heard this, his body trembled subconsciously.

Never before has hearing the word 'ancestral hall' been as scary as it is today.

Looking back at the large, solemn and dark door, Yang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Why don't we go to the cemetery? It seems that the festival is coming soon. Can I kowtow to our father?"

"Okay." Wang Yuying thought for a while and said.

Afterwards, the couple walked to the cemetery in the backyard.

After several months of care and operation, the cemetery has begun to take shape. Many of the green areas have been planted at night. The lush pines and cypresses and the sky-green lawn set off the huge cemetery in the middle.

The couple came to their father's grave.

Wang Yuying bent down and stroked the dust off the tombstone, while Yang Jun lit three cigarettes and placed them side by side in front of her father's tomb.

"Your dad doesn't smoke, don't let him develop bad habits." Wang Yuying reminded.

"Dad doesn't smoke?"

Yang Jun was stunned there, and then the hand holding the cigarette had nowhere to put it.

"You were seventeen years old when you left the army, and you already remember things. Don't you know whether your father smokes?" Wang Yuying rolled her eyes.

"Hey, it's been a long time, I can't remember it clearly."

Yang Jun held the cigarette in embarrassment. His father didn't smoke, so he smoked it himself.

Seeing Yang Jun smoking three cigarettes at once, Wang Yuying could tell that Yang Jun had something on his mind.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, let's talk about something."

When Yang Jun heard this, he hesitated and said nothing.

He took two hard puffs and then said bravely.

"Mom, what I'm talking about is a bit big. You'd better find a place to sit down and talk about it safely."

With that said, regardless of Wang Yuying's consent, he directly supported her arm and asked him to sit on the steps in front of the tomb.

When Wang Yuying saw this, her face became heavy.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. Mom has never seen or experienced anything in her life. Mom can bear it."

Yang Jun smiled bitterly when he heard this.

I thought, that's what I said, but the reality is another matter.

"Mom...Lao Wu went in."

Yang Jun hesitated for a long time, then hesitantly said it.

When Wang Yuying heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then sighed baldly.

"Hey, your mother and I have long expected this day."

"It's just... what I didn't expect was that it happened before I closed my eyes." After saying that, he smiled bitterly and said: "It would be great if it happened after I closed my eyes. Out of sight, out of mind, and I don't have to worry about it every day."

Yang Jun sat next to him and listened quietly. He didn't dare to interrupt casually.

He also didn't expect that Wang Yuying would appear to be so quiet after hearing this, which was a bit unexpected.

"Mom, it's me who didn't take good care of Lao Wu."

Wang Yuying heard this and raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Jun'er, please don't say that. Mom has seen how you have treated Lao Wu for so many years."

"As the eldest brother, you have already shown your brotherly love to your younger brother. If you want to blame me, you can only blame Lao Wu for not living up to his expectations."

After saying that, he sighed deeply.

"Jun'er, Mom doesn't mean to blame you. Mom just wants to know that the fifth child won't be in danger, right?"

"No."

Yang Jun said excitedly: "As long as I'm here, I won't let this happen."

"My original intention... is to let him learn a lesson. I can't control him anymore. I can only leave it to the state. This is not only for the sake of Lao Wu, but also for the sake of our Lao Yang family."

Wang Yuying patted Yang Jun's hand and said, "Jun'er, you are right to do this."

"By the way, tell me quickly why Lao Wu went in."

Hearing this, Yang Jun quickly replied: "Mom, this is what happened..."

Then, Yang Jun told Wang Yuying without reservation how Lao Wu accidentally injured someone and died, how he got in, and how many years he had been there.

After Wang Yuying listened, her old eyes were filled with tears.

There was both an apology for that person and an unyielding resentment towards Yang Huai.

"Whether he accepts a lesson or not, I hope he can change his ways and turn a new leaf after he comes out."

Yang Jun sighed: "Yes, I hope he can learn a lesson this time."

Wang Yuying sat there, as if she had suddenly aged a lot, and her originally rickety body had now become even older.

"I'm not worried about Lao Wu. Mom is worried about Er Ni. How can she live with two children alone?"

"Lao Wu has already screwed her up a lot, but now that she's like this, our Lao Yang family can't help her even more."

When Yang Jun heard this, he sighed.

What else could he say?

Even if Yuan Erni said she wanted to divorce Lao Wu, he didn't have the shame to keep her.

Marrying a bastard like Lao Wu is already a shame. Now that Lao Wu is like this, what else can he ask for?

"Jun'er."

Wang Yuying suddenly grabbed Yang Jun's hand and said: "Jun'er, if Erni proposes a divorce, we must not stop her. We have no shame in asking her to stay, but..."

"However, the two children must be kept by our old Yang family. You must do this, do you hear me?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun patted her arm and comforted: "Mom, don't worry, Erni will not get divorced. I still know her well. Whether it is because of her nature or other considerations, she will There will be no divorce.”

"Even if we get to that point in the end, don't worry, I will definitely keep the child."

In fact, there is simply too much worry about divorce.

Yuan Erni is very smart and knows how to weigh the importance.

Let’s not talk about whether Yang Jun will let Yang Huai stay in there all the time. Even if Yang Jun’s background is just a factor, she will not get divorced.

After a divorce, who can guarantee that she will find a better man than Yang Huai? Besides, she is nothing without the Yang family.

Even if she wanted to divorce, her family would not agree to let her divorce.

Over the years, the Yuan family has taken advantage of the Yang family's influence. As vested interests, how could they leave someone like Yang Jun alone?

"That's fine, that's fine."

Wang Yuying listened and kept mumbling to herself.

Seeing Wang Yuying in a trance, Yang Jun felt a little distressed.

To be honest, seeing Wang Yuying aging day by day, Yang Jun also saw it and was anxious in his heart.

In the past, Wang Yuying was vigorous and resolute, raising five children by herself, and her courage was as much as that of a man. But not long ago, such a hard-working mother became hesitant to worry about gains and losses.

But there is no way, time is like a butcher's knife. Unknowingly, it has cut away the fighting spirit and passion, and the whole person has become depressed.

"Jun'er, go back. I'm tired too, so I won't keep you here."

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Yuying slowly stood up from the ground.

As she walked forward with a trembling body, her back became even more curved.

"Mom, aren't you going back with me to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Yang Jun stood there uneasily.

Wang Yuying sighed after hearing this, then turned and left.

As he walked, he said: "If Lao Wu is not around, what's the point of celebrating this festival?"

"Don't worry about me. Mom is fine. You can go back."

Yang Jun: "Mom..."

Looking at Wang Yuying's retreating back, Yang Jun was choked and speechless.

Although his mother did not blame him directly, this kind of cold violence made Yang Jun feel more uncomfortable than killing him.

It would be better if his mother inquired or scolded him, rather than torturing him like this.

"Hey."

Yang Jun turned around and looked at the tombstone with his father's name written on it.

He smiled and said, "Dad, what would you do if you were here?"

……

When he got home in the evening, Yang Jun called Yang Mei and the others over and held an impromptu family meeting.

He told them about going to see Wang Yuying, then looked at them and said,

"Mom already knows what happened. Although we don't blame us, the matter can't just go away."

After saying that, he said to them: "When you have nothing to do, go and chat with your mother."

"This time... I feel that Mom is older than before."

After saying that, I couldn’t help but sigh.

Yang Mei: "Brother, are you really not going to bring mom back during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Yang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Let's forget it, lest our mother can't see Lao Wu and feel even more panicked."

"But... this is not the way to go, right?"

"Let's just leave it like this for now. After a while, this matter will fade away and it will be fine."

Hearing this, Yang Mei sighed.

Yang Jun is right, time is a panacea, and there is no disease that cannot be cured by time.

At this time, Yang Liu said: "Brother, what should Erni do? During this period, she has been crying all day long and has not eaten or drank. It has affected the child in her belly."

Yang Yu: "Yes, her current condition is not conducive to delivery. I heard that the due date has passed several days."

After Yang Jun heard this, he thought for a moment and said,

"In this case, Meizi, Liu'er, and the fourth child, please hurry up and arrange the hospital so that Erni can expect to give birth as soon as possible, and then ask the best doctors in the hospital to serve her around the clock."

"As for me, I will also think of a way to let Lao Wu and the others meet."

Yang Mei sighed and said, "That's all we can do."

"Wait a minute, I will arrange for her to be admitted to the hospital. Brother, you should also be tighter here."

Yang Jun nodded: "I understand."

Afterwards, the brothers and sisters divided the work and went their own way.

Some arrange hospitals and doctors, some arrange meetings...

The next day, news came from the hospital that Yuan Erni had given birth to another boy to Lao Yang at five o'clock in the morning. So far, Yuan Erni had given birth to a total of two sons for Lao Wu.

On the other side, Yang Jun was not idle either.

He asked Luo Xiaojun to arrange for Yang Huai to go to the hospital to meet his wife and children.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, Yang Huai is no longer the same Yang Huai as before.

The whole person looked very thin, with a sloppy beard, and looked very embarrassed, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.

Looking at his newborn son, Yang Huai did not hug him, but knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

"Brother, please, please get me out. I don't want to stay in there for a moment."

"It's no place for people, and I've had enough."

Looking at Yang Huai who was crying, Yang Jun remained unmoved.

He kicked away Yang Huai who was holding him, pointed at his nose and said, "If I had known about this, why would I do it in the first place?"

"You are responsible for all this. I hope you can remember this lesson and start a new life after you come out."

"Brother, I was really wrong. Can you bear to watch me suffer inside?"

Yang Huai knelt on the ground and kept crying.

Even though he had runny noses and tears, Yang Jun was unmoved.

This time, Yang Jun was cruel. No matter what Yang Huai said, he would not be soft-hearted.

Seeing that Yang Jun was indifferent, Yang Huai knelt in front of Yang Mei, hugged her legs and said: "Second sister, you are usually the best to me. Please save me. I promise you that I will never dare to do it again." Yes, please."

When Yang Mei heard this, her face turned livid, and her eyes shone with a layer of crystal tears.

She is not Yang Jun, and she cannot be hard-hearted.

During the years when Yang Jun was serving as a soldier, she and Wang Yuying worked hard to support the family. It can be said that she watched Yang Huai grow up. To put it bluntly, in her mind, Lao Wu was her own. child.

Seeing Yang Huai's emaciated appearance, she felt more distressed than anyone else.

However, although she couldn't bear it, she was not moved.

"Old Five, be obedient and reform well after you go in. Try to be a good person in the future."

Sister...

Yang Mei couldn't control her tears, fearing that she would be persuaded if she stayed any longer.

So, she broke away from Yang Huai's embrace, covered her face and ran out of the delivery room.

"Second sister."

Seeing Yang Mei leave, Yang Huai looked at Yang Liu.

Yang Liu's eyes were panicked and he said: "Don't look at me, I...I can't do anything."

After saying that, Yang Liu followed closely and ran out.

Seeing that the second and third sisters didn't care about him, Yang Huai could only look at Yang Yu for help.

When Yang Yu saw this, he was afraid that he couldn't stand the sad look in his eyes, so he simply turned his head to one side.

"Fourth sister..."

Seeing that everyone was ignoring him, Yang Huai turned to look at Yuan Erni who was lying on the hospital bed after giving birth.

"Ernie."

At this time, Yuan Erni was already exhausted from crying.

Although she also hopes to be with her man and live a good life as a family of four, but these days, she has listened to Yang Mei's advice and knows that this is not the time to be soft-hearted. If she misses this lesson, Yang Mei Huai's chance, I'm afraid this family will really be over in the future.

"Head of the family, just stay inside. Don't worry at home. With the help of the eldest brother, second sister and others, the children will not be treated badly."

After saying that, for fear of being soft-hearted, he simply covered his head with the quilt.

"Woo~"

Seeing that his woman was not on his side, Yang Huai was completely panicked.

He originally thought that his eldest brother would pay for his mistakes like before, but he didn't expect it to happen this time, and he was really scared.

It was really not a place for people to stay inside. With his free-spirited personality, he was afraid that if he stayed there any longer, he might die of suffocation.

"I want to find my mother, I want to see my mother."

"Mom, where are you?"

Yang Huai howled loudly.

Scattered around, looking for Wang Yuying's shadow.

At this time, the only one who can save him is Wang Yuying.

As long as Wang Yuying spoke, Yang Jun would obediently rescue him.
