Siheyuan: Domineering life

When Yang Jun returned home, Xiao Wu was waiting for him at home.

"have you eaten?"

Nalan Qingyun thought that Yang Jun had not eaten outside, so she prepared to ask the servants to heat up the leftovers.

"No."

Seeing that Nalan Qingyun wanted to serve the leftovers, Yang Jun quickly said, "Cook a few more dishes. Xiaowu and I will have a drink."

"Okay, I'll go give you instructions."

Nalan Qingyun glanced at Yang Chengwu, and then said, "Xiaowu, you chat with your godfather first, I'll go cook for you."

Yang Chengwu smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Among Yang Jun's many women, only Yi Qiu Shui is worthy of being Xiaowu's godmother. The others are called aunts. Not only Xiaowu calls them that, but everyone else does too. It can be regarded as giving these women a reasonable status in the family.

Afterwards, Nalan Qingyun went to the kitchen.

"What's up?"

Yang Jun motioned for him to sit down, and he went to the cupboard to get a bottle of Jiannanchun, and then took out a bag of fried peanuts, and the two of them started drinking.

"Godfather."

While helping Yang Jun put the cups on the table, Yang Chengwu said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. It's just about Cheng Dao building a manor."

"What happened to the manor? Is it in trouble?"

Ever since Yang Jun decided to build a manor villa for his children, he handed the matter over to Xiaowu. Now, several months have passed, and no one knows how the matter is going.

"It's not difficult at all."

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "The land has been approved. It's more than 2,000 acres, which is enough for my brothers and sisters to build a manor. It's just... there are some problems with the procedures."

"But it's not a big problem. I can handle it myself."

Hearing this, Yang Jun smiled and said, "If you could solve it, you wouldn't come to me. Tell me what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengwu knew he could not hide it from Yang Jun, so he could only tell the truth.

"Ah, it's my mortal enemy who's holding me back and trying to make things difficult for me."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Doesn't that person know that you are working for me?"

"How could I not know?"

Yang Chengwu said: "In the whole city of Yanjing, who doesn't know that I am your godson?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he felt that there was something interesting in it.

There are still people in this world who go against him, and he doesn't know how many heads this person has to dare to go against him.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Yang Chengwu knew he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth.

"This person has been my mortal enemy since childhood. When he heard that I got the land, he insisted on blocking me. There is nothing I can do. The approval documents are still stuck with him."

"Zhang Mingfan?"

Apart from Zhang Mingfan, who is Yang Chengwu's mortal enemy, he really couldn't think of anyone else.

They have not gotten along since childhood. Yang Jun and Zhang Mingfan's fathers were originally colleagues. The relationship between them could not be said to be good or bad, it was just an ordinary colleague relationship, but the younger generations below had to distinguish who was superior and who was inferior. So, Xiao Wu and Zhang Mingfan started to argue, and they insisted that their fathers were the best.

Later, Yang Jun was promoted quickly and left Zhang Mingfan's father far behind. The two families gradually lost contact. Yang Jun did not expect that Zhang Mingfan was still holding a grudge against him.

Of course, it’s an exaggeration to say that he holds a grudge. In fact, he just can’t accept that Yang Jun is doing better than his father.

"Who else could it be except that grandson?" Yang Chengwu said with his neck stiff.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun smacked his lips, picked up a peanut and put it into his mouth.

After chewing for a few times, he said, "Call Zhang Qianmin now and ask him to take care of his son. If he doesn't, I will do it for him."

Zhang Qianmin is Zhang Mingfan's father. Even though he is doing well now, Yang Jun still thinks he is not worthy of being called personally.

Yang Jun is now at the top of the pyramid, and there are few people above him who can suppress him. He really doesn't take Zhang Qianmin seriously.

"Godfather, can I make a phone call?"

Yang Chengwu said cautiously: "After all, he and you are of the same generation, it would be more convenient for you to come forward and speak."

Yang Jun: "Just call me if I ask you to. What level is Zhang Qianmin? Is he worthy of me calling him personally?"

Yang Chengwu relaxed for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"He, Zhang Qianmin, is indeed not worthy of your personal efforts."

After saying that, Yang Chengwu got up and went to the living room, then picked up the phone.

Not long after, Yang Chengwu came back.

"Godfather, it's settled."

"Just as you guessed, Zhang Qianmin didn't dare to say a word. He patted his chest and promised me that he would teach Zhang Mingfan a lesson."

After saying that, Yang Chengwu sighed, "I didn't expect that a leader as important as Zhang Qianmin would speak to me in such a servile way, and his words were full of flattery."

"By the way, godfather, Zhang Qianmin asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

When Yang Jun heard this, he just smiled.

"Don't you think about whose son you are? No matter how big a leader Zhang Qianmin is, he is nothing to your godfather."

"Of course. There are almost no leaders in this world who are greater than my godfather."

Yang Chengwu sighed, "Only Zhang Mingfan's grandson dared to go against me. If it was someone else, I would kill him."

Yang Jun smiled and said, "Forget it. You two have been at odds since childhood. The reason he blocked you was mainly to vent his anger. There is no need to punish him. What's more, his father and I are old colleagues, so I still have to give him some face."

"It's only because of you, godfather, that I can get rid of him. Otherwise, I will definitely kill him."

Yang Jun smiled when he heard this.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How have you been lately?"

"I'm fine. I eat and sleep as usual. Nothing's wrong."

After hearing this, Yang Jun gave him a meaningful look and said quietly, "Have you not gone out to hunt for food recently?"

When Yang Chengwu heard this, he laughed.

"Godfather, you are always in charge, how dare I do that?"

In Yang Jun's circle, there is no awkwardness in talking about women, money, and future, even between father and son.

This circle is very messy and dirty, and this kind of thing is the norm.

Just like in the ancient aristocratic circles, singing girls, concubines, and mistresses were all normal, and the ancients often took pride in this. It is the same now. Over thousands of years, human progress and civilization have not grown by even a centimeter, and it is still so ugly.

Yang Jun is not a moral bitch, nor is he too lazy to be one. He feels very tired. Life is short and living is tiring enough. If he has to pretend, be hypocritical, and be artificial, then life will be so boring.

"You don't dare or don't want to?"

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he lowered his gaze and looked below him.

Once a man is over 35, his body's muscle fitness will decline. Yang Anguo, Yang Anbang, Ma Juzi and others are all like this. They come to me for medicinal wine every now and then. Even Sun Zhaocai and Sha Zhu, who look like cows, are no exception. These two can't live without medicinal wine as soon as they turn 30.

Yang Chengwu is already over 35, and according to the time calculation, he should have reached the threshold. It is possible that he is not afraid to go out and play, but that he is unable to do so.

"Godfather, look at what you said. Am I that kind of person? I have always been a gentleman." Yang Chengwu smiled awkwardly.

"I am a gentleman, you are nothing." Yang Jun laughed and scolded. Others always called him Junzi, and he always took it as a gentleman. As long as he was not embarrassed, others would always be embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, you are always a gentleman." Yang Chengwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Meeting such an unreasonable old man, he was convinced.

"Stop talking nonsense. Godfather wants to ask you, are you not good enough in that aspect?" Yang Jun interrupted him.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengwu became anxious, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"How is that possible? I'm so strong, how could it be impossible?"

"Zhaocai and Shazhu are stronger than you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengwu remained silent.

His face turned green and red, and the muscles on his face were twisted. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said,

"It is indeed as Godfather thought. There is a little...obstacle."

"A little?"

Yang Jun looked at him with a smile, then his face suddenly darkened: "Is it a little bit or not?"

Yang Chengwu was startled by Yang Jun's sudden action. After calming down, he said with a red face: "Godfather, why are you scaring me like this? I am not sick, but you scared me into being sick."

"I do have a little, but it's not serious. I'm taking medicine now."

Hearing this, Yang Jun sneered and said, "Treatment is useless. I am old, so no matter how I treat myself, it will be useless."

Patting his shoulder, Yang Jun continued, "It's okay. You have a godfather. Bring back a few bottles of medicinal wine when you leave."

Xiaowu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Yang Jun quickly raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You're welcome. This is what a godfather should do."

Yang Chengwu was extremely embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Godfather, thank you."

"You kid, we're all family, what are you thanking me for?"

Yang Jun doesn't think there's anything shameful about this kind of thing. As a man, every man will have this day. If he doesn't have it at 35, he may have it at 40. If he doesn't have it at 40, he may not have it at 45. Anyway, there's no need to laugh at others when you're just 50.

Now when Ma Juzi, Sha Zhu, Sun Zhaocai and others talk about these things, they are no longer shy like they were at the beginning. They dare to talk about them in public and they don't think it is shameful at all.

At this time, Nalan Qingyun had finished preparing the meal, and Yang Jun and his son immediately ended the topic.

"Auntie, would you please sit down and eat something with us?"

Seeing Nalan Qingyun cooking personally, Yang Chengwu, as a junior, felt a little guilty and stood up to express his gratitude.

"I've eaten. You two can eat now."

Nalan Qingyun said as she served the dishes, "It just so happens that you haven't tasted my aunt's cooking yet, so today is a good time to give it a try."

"The dishes cooked by the aunt must be very delicious."

Yang Chengwu took a piece of food with chopsticks and praised it as soon as he put it in his mouth: "It's delicious, so fragrant, and it's as good as the chef of a five-star hotel."

Nalan Qingyun chuckled when she heard this.

"Child, if your expression wasn't so exaggerated, Auntie would believe it."

"Aunt, the food you cook is so delicious. I am telling the truth." Yang Chengwu.

"If it tastes good, you should eat more."

After Nalan Qingyun finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the restaurant. Before leaving, she asked the servants to leave and leave the space to Yang Jun and his son.

After they left, the father and son relaxed a lot. They started to sit and eat in an untidy manner. Yang Jun even took off his shoes and squatted directly on the chair.

"What is Xiaoliu doing recently?" Yang Jun asked.

Ever since Xiaoliu came back from the Paralympics, she has been going out for a walk every day. Yang Jun doesn't know what she is busy with outside every day.

"Oh, don't mention it."

Yang Chengwu gets a headache whenever he mentions his sister and worries about her every day.

"What's wrong?" Yang Jun asked.

Hearing this, Yang Chengwu frowned and said, "This girl has stopped practicing swimming and is now preparing to resume her old career."

"She has formed a team and plans to hike through the Qiangtang No Man's Land next month."

"What's the matter?"

After hearing this, Yang Jun was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.

"You've only been doing this for a short while, why are you back to your old ways?"

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something.

"You just said that she was going to hike through the Qiangtang No Man's Land. How could she hike in that condition?"

Yang Chengliu has been in a wheelchair since she lost both legs in the Amazon last time. Yang Jun found it funny to think that she was going to hike through the Qiangtang No Man's Land.

"Who says it's not true? I asked her the same question and she said that for her, riding a wheelchair is like hiking."

After that, Yang Chengwu said with a bitter face: "Godfather, you have to take care of her. You can't let her do whatever she wants. She lost a pair of legs last time. If she does it again this time... Oh."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun also looked bitter.

"Hey."

With a long sigh, Yang Jun said dimly: "I can't persuade her. If she could listen to the advice, she would not be Yang Laoliu."

"This girl has been so stubborn since she was young. Even ten donkeys can't stop her from doing something. Have you forgotten that we locked her up for three years before, but it was useless?"

After hearing this, Yang Chengwu frowned even deeper.

Everything Yang Jun said was wrong. No one in this world could persuade Xiao Liu. Because of her unwillingness to admit defeat, no one could persuade her.

Although Xiaoliu looks gentle and easy-going, everyone who has been with her can feel that she is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, just like a donkey.

"Godfather, what do you say we should do? We can't just let her do whatever she wants, right?" Yang Chengwu said with a headache.

When Yang Jun heard this, he waved his hand.

"Don't worry about her, just let her be."

Seeing Yang Chengwu's puzzled look, Yang Jun explained: "She is stubborn on one hand, and on the other hand...her future is clear at a glance. She has already lost both legs. If she has no motivation to live, I can't imagine how she can persist."

Yang Chengwu seemed to understand something and said, "That is to say, if she doesn't find something to do, she will lose the motivation to live, right?"

"Well, you can say that."

Yang Jun said calmly: "Fortunately, she has lost her legs now, so she can't do anything dangerous. Since she wants to walk through the Qiangtang No Man's Land, let her go."

"By the way, didn't she form a logistics team?"

"Yes, this team has about twenty-five people, all professionals." Yang Chengwu.

"That's even more of a problem." Yang Jun pondered for a moment and said, "As her family and closest relatives, we should fully support her in whatever she wants to do. At the very least, we should not treat her badly in terms of money."

"Okay, got it, godfather."

Yang Chengwu paused for a moment, then continued, "I'll pick a few more people to infiltrate her team to ensure her safety."

Yang Jun: "Yes, this is what a brother should do." (End of this chapter)
