Siheyuan: Domineering life

When Yang Jun returned from the ancestral hall, his family had just finished preparing the meal.

There is still one table for adults and one table for children.

"Mom, please say a few words."

When the banquet began, Yang Jun signaled his mother Wang Yuying to say a few words.

"Mom, say a few words." Yi Qiu Shui said with a smile.

All the women looked at Wang Yuying.

Wang Yuying heard this, picked up the wine glass, glanced at everyone, and then said: "Okay, Mom will say a few words."

After that, she continued, "Actually, Mom doesn't have much to say. I just hope that our Yang family will get better and better, and that everyone will be healthy, live long, and be safe and happy."

"Also...give me more grandchildren."

Upon hearing this, all the women covered their mouths and laughed.

"Okay, Mom."

Everyone responded in unison, and then the women looked at Yang Jun with more passion in their eyes.

Yang Jun picked up the wine glass and drank it with a bitter face.

"Eat, children..."

Wang Yuying originally wanted to let her children eat as well, but they had already started eating.

These kids don't drink, so they started eating first.

"Mom, don't worry about them, let's eat our food." Yang Jun said.

Those kids have been eating at the same table since they were young and have never been fed by an adult. They have long learned to be independent and always rush to eat during mealtimes, saying that the food tastes better this way.

"Okay, let's eat."

Wang Yuying picked up the braised fish with her chopsticks, and everyone started eating after seeing her.

"Jun'er, I don't know how your second uncle is doing?" Wang Yuying asked.

"I talked to An Guo on the phone. He said that my second uncle is no longer in danger of death and has been transferred to the general ward." Yang Jun said.

"Ah, at such an old age, you still commit such a sin. It's really...ah."

Wang Yuying also has a headache when mentioning her second uncle Yang Dong.

In fact, she also didn't agree with her second uncle's remarriage. At such an old age, couldn't he just live a peaceful life? Why did he have to make things difficult for his children?

The reason why she agreed to include the mother and son in the family tree was because her second uncle had already made the decision and she had no choice. Now that this has happened, she doesn't want to see it either.

To put it nicely, Anbang accidentally hurt his second uncle. To put it bluntly, who knows if he did it on purpose.

"Oh, how will Anbang live in the future?" Wang Yuying said with a frown.

"Mom, I have asked someone to block this matter. This matter should not affect Anbang."

In fact, Yang Jun was not sure either.

This was just his way of telling his mother what to do.

He didn't want his mother to worry about his second uncle's family.

Such a big thing happened, and everyone in the village knew about it at the time, and it could not be contained at all. I'm afraid that this matter would spread to the old city in no time, and would soon spread to the unit where Yang Anbang worked.

As a leader, such a scandal will naturally affect his reputation.

Fortunately, Yang Anbang is the highest leader of the unit and is not afraid of being excluded by others. As for the pressure from outside, Yang Jun said that as long as he is there, he will not allow anyone to touch his brother.

This is no longer a question of family affection, but to touch Yang Anbang is to touch him.

It is not easy for him to train a person. He has worked hard for more than ten years to reach his current position. How could he allow others to destroy his foundation?

It's just a scandal, no big deal.

"Jun'er, no matter what, Anbang is still a member of our Yang family, you must protect him..."

"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."

After a slight pause, Yang Jun continued, "Mom, it's New Year's Day, let's talk about something happy and not talk about my second uncle's family."

"it is good."

Although Wang Yuying agreed verbally, her brows were still furrowed.

"After the Chinese New Year, I will go back to my hometown to see your second uncle."

"Mom, I understand. Let's eat first."

Afterwards, no one talked about Second Uncle anymore.

After dinner, it was still early, so the family played in the front yard.

A group of women with a dozen children were setting off firecrackers by the pond.

Yang Jun had nothing to do, so he found some coal and hay and took great pains to light the stove. Then he opened the glass door to let out the smoke.

After most of the people had dispersed, I closed the door of the glass house.

I put a few sweet potatoes and a handful of peanuts on the stove, then lay down on the rattan chair and drank tea.

After a while, I heard the door open.

When I looked up, it turned out to be Nalan Qingmeng.

"husband."

Nalan Qingyun called out sweetly, then took a small stool and sat next to the fireplace.

"Why don't you set off firecrackers with your children?"

Yang Jun was thinking about staying alone for a while, and when Nalan Qingmeng came in, he guessed that other women would follow in a while.

"He is with his aunt, so I am just being lazy." Nalan Qingmeng said with a smile.

"His aunt?"

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was talking about Nalan Qingyun.

It's not a good term to describe two sisters sharing the same husband.

If they were to address each other based on their sisterly relationship, she should indeed be called aunt, but according to Yang Jun's way of addressing, the child should call Nalan Qingyun "stepmother".

Yang Jun held his forehead and sighed. If he had known the relationship would be so complicated, he should not have brought Nalan Qingyun home.

"It's my sister Qingyun."

"I know."

Yang Jun said calmly: "I just feel uncomfortable when I hear it so suddenly."

"If you don't like it, I can make the child change." Nalan Qingmeng said cautiously.

“No need.” Yang Jun said calmly: “Whatever the relationship is, there is no need to hide it. The child will know it in the future anyway. Alas, at the beginning…”

When he said this, Yang Jun suddenly stopped talking.

Nalan Qingmeng was stunned and relaxed for a moment, as if he had guessed what Yang Jun wanted to say.

So, he smiled.

"It doesn't matter. It's all the same."

"Don't be too stressed, just let it go."

Yang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "I know, I'm just sighing."

Nalan Qingmeng suddenly held his hand tightly and said solemnly, "Husband, Qingyun has been with you for almost two years. When do you plan to let her have a baby?"

"Why rush? Let's talk about it in two years."

"She is not young anymore. She is 22 years old this year, which is the best childbearing age." Nalan Qingyun said, pursing her lips.

"I know what you're worried about."

Yang Jun paused for a moment, then continued, "You've been with me for so many years, don't you know me? I have never treated any of you unfairly."

At this point, he suddenly raised his head and looked into her eyes and said, "Is it because your sister Qiushui has been making small moves recently that you are all anxious?"

"No……"

Seeing Yang Jun's unbelieving eyes, Nalan Qingmeng nodded with a wry smile: "I guess so."

Yi Qiu Shui has been making small moves recently, trying to put all the family property under her own name. They have seen it all, and they would be lying if they said they were not anxious.

If they don't do it for themselves, they also have to consider their children. No one wants their children to live a hard life.

Seeing this, Yang Jun smiled and said, "I guess that's what you think."

"Husband, we don't ask you to treat them equally, we just hope you can consider the other children a little bit. After all, they are all your own flesh and blood."

Yang Jun stroked her hand and smiled, "You guys are all worried about trivial things. As a father, don't I consider every child?"

"But...all the family property is now under Sister Qiushui's name."

Yang Jun waved his hand: "That's just on the surface. I have a lot of businesses behind the scenes. Don't worry about that."

"I will not treat any of my children unfairly in the future."

Nalan Qingmeng heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"I knew it, Old Yang, you are such a smart guy, how could you not think things through? It turns out you have been prepared for a long time." "Silly woman, if my brain was full of confusion, I would have died countless times. You have been with me for so many years, but you don't understand me at all." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"I just don't know you well enough."

As she spoke, Nalan Qingmeng's face became redder and redder, and her slender, white hands began to become restless.

"How about getting to know him better tonight?" Yang Jun looked at him with a smile.

"I do think... the main thing is that we are still under the gambling agreement, so you have to accompany Sister Ruolan." Nalan Qingmeng said with a red face.

It would be a lie to say she didn't want to.

In this family where there are more wolves than meat, if you don't take the initiative, I'm afraid good things will never happen to you.

"Oh, what a bullshit bet."

Yang Jun sneered and said, "As Yang Jun's eight women, I still have the right to decide who to sleep with and who not to sleep with. Get ready tonight. I'll go to your yard."

"That's settled."

Without waiting for Yang Jun to finish, Nalan Qingmeng stood up and walked out: "I'll go get ready first."

After saying that, he dived into the night.

"Hey...is it that urgent?"

Looking at her back, Yang Jun shook his head slightly.

He stood up, sat up straight, turned over the sweet potatoes and peanuts on the stove, and continued to roast them.

The temperature in the glass room was getting higher and higher. Yang Jun felt a little hot and humid, so he took off his outer coat.

Just as I was about to lie down, the door of the glass room opened again.

Meng Wenya's body was outside, with only her head exposed, looking at him with a smile.

"Comrade Lao Yang, did you miss me? Do you want to come to my yard tonight?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you want to break the bet?"

When Meng Wenya heard this, she thought there was hope.

He flashed and came in.

Sitting in front of Yang Jun, he held his hand and said, "Of course I won't break the contract on my own initiative. If it's your request... then it won't be considered a breach of contract."

After saying that, she looked at him with a smile.

"You all use this trick, do you think everyone else is a fool?"

"But... Sister Ruolan is not feeling well, so I am here to help her."

Meng Wenya shook Yang Jun's arm and said, "Old Yang, I am thinking about you, you know."

Hearing this, Yang Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You all say you are thinking about others, but in fact you are not thinking about yourselves."

After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Go to Qingmeng Yard tonight."

"Why would I go to her place...Oh, I see."

Meng Wenya seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile: "Old Yang, you are the one who knows how to care for others."

"Okay, go ahead and don't let anyone know."

"Okay, I...we'll wait for you."

After saying that, he left with a smile.

After a while.

Huang Yani is here too...

After a while, Nini also came...

……

Finally, Yi Qiu Shui came in.

"Hubby, come to my yard, I will tell you about enlightenment."

"Is there anything you can't say here?"

Yang Jun suddenly remembered something: "What about that kid? I haven't settled the score with him yet."

"He is in my yard, you will know when you go there." Yi Qiu Shui said with a smile.

"Let's go meet this guy. I want to ask him how he got involved with that woman again."

After saying that, he and Yi Qiu Shui went to her yard.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chengdao was not there at all.

Yang Chengdao knew that Yang Jun disliked him these past two days, so he cleverly hid in Wang Yuying's yard. In this world, only his grandmother could protect him.

Once you arrive at Yi Qiu Shui's yard, it's impossible to leave.

That night, Yang Jun rested in Yi Qiu Shui's yard.

……

the next day.

The first day of the Lunar New Year in 1986.

There was the sound of firecrackers popping outside and children's laughter everywhere.

Yang Jun didn't get up until eight o'clock.

After a quick wash, I went to the restaurant.

The nanny at home is on holiday, so if I want to eat dumplings, I have to make them myself.

Yi Qiu Shui led a group of women busying around in the kitchen.

Some people cooked dumplings, some mashed garlic, and some burned incense to worship the gods of heaven, the door gods, and the kitchen gods...

Yang Jun put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked around the kitchen to see if there was anything he could do to help.

However, there were enough people and he didn't need to do anything.

"You don't keep your word, liar."

When passing by Nalan Qingmeng, he suddenly felt pain in his waist.

Before Yang Jun could shout, Nalan Qingmeng left quickly.

"Is it my fault?"

Yang Jun rubbed the sore flesh on his waist and said with a bitter face: "If you want to blame someone, blame your sister Qiushui."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a pain in the other side of his waist.

"fraud."

When I looked back, I saw Meng Wenya leaving angrily.

Yang Jun put his hands on his hips, holding the male dog's waist tightly.

Now, whenever he met a woman, he would subconsciously avoid them, fearing that he would be ambushed again.

He didn't know how many people he had promised last night, and now they were all looking at him with unfriendly eyes.

Yang Jun had no choice but to leave the kitchen.

At this moment, his son Yang Chengdao ran over.

"Dad, Brother Xiaowu called."

When Yang Jun heard this, he hurried to the living room.

If my guess is correct, there must be news about Xiaoliu.

It's been two days. If there's no news, then something really has happened.

Yang Jun didn't dare to delay and picked up the phone.

"Xiaowu, is there any news about Xiaoliu?"

"Godfather, there is no news about Xiaoliu yet."

Xiao Wu's deep voice came from the other side: "However, we found the body of her expedition companion at the bend of a river tributary."

"Are you sure it's not Xiaoliu?" Yang Jun asked.

"Godfather, I confirmed it again and again, it's not Xiaoliu."

Seeing that Yang Jun didn't say anything, Yang Chengwu continued, "Godfather, don't be too anxious. Not finding Xiaoliu should be a good thing, which means she is still alive."

"I hope so."

After a slight pause, Yang Jun continued, "Give each search and rescue team another reward of one million US dollars, and tell them to find Xiaoliu no matter what."

"Yes, godfather."

Yang Chengwu said: "Godfather, if there is nothing else, I will hang up. The rescue team is still waiting for my command."

"Well, let's hang up." (End of this chapter)
