Siheyuan: Domineering life

The next day, after breakfast, Yang Jun called Yang Qingxiang to the living room.

No matter what, Yang Qingxiang is always Yang Chengcai's biological mother. Yang Jun always has to take her feelings into consideration and cannot selfishly decide his son's fate. As for Chengcai, Yang Jun cannot take care of his face.

Yi Qiu Shui was also there. How could such a thing be done without her, the stepmother?

"Sister Qiushui."

When Yang Qingxiang came in, she greeted Yi Qiu Shui first, then smiled and nodded at Yang Jun, and then sat down at the seat below Yi Qiu Shui.

"Why are you sitting so far away?"

Yang Jun waved at her, then pointed to the main seat next to him and said, "Sit there."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingxiang's first reaction was to look at Yi Qiu Shui.

Yi Qiu Shui didn't sit in the main seat, so how could she, a concubine, dare to do so?

So, she had to see Yi Qiu Shui's expression before acting.

"Look at what she is doing. She doesn't even listen to me?" Yang Jun glared at her.

Yi Qiushui smiled and said, "Sister, listen to Old Yang and sit over there."

"But……"

"Don't say buts, you should sit there today," Yi Qiushui said, "I asked you to come here today because it's about success. If you don't sit there, who will sit there?"

Seeing Yi Qiu Shui said so, Yang Qingxiang finally felt at ease sitting there. However, even though she was sitting there, she was still very careful, with only half of her buttocks touching the stool.

"You talk to her." Yang Jun said.

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiu Shui looked at Yang Qingxiang.

"Sister, it's like this..."

Afterwards, Yi Qiu Shui told her about Guo Tianyue's proposal.

After hearing this, Yang Qingxiang's face showed mixed emotions. Sometimes she smiled, and sometimes she frowned. It was obvious that she felt very complicated.

Yi Qiushui: "Sister, what do you think about this marriage?"

"me……"

Yang Qingxiang glanced at Yang Jun and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. Let Old Yang and my sister decide."

Even though she is Yang Chengcai's biological mother, when it comes to such a big event, as a mother, she still has to listen to Yang Jun and Yi Qiu Shui, the principal wife. No matter whether you like it or not, that's the fact. She feels that Yi Qiu Shui was already giving her face by telling her in advance.

"I'm asking you to express your ideas, not to make a decision. What is there that you can't say?" Yang Jun said with his eyes wide open.

Yang Qingxiang was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and then she whispered: "I don't have any ideas, your ideas are my ideas."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun held his forehead with one hand and rubbed his face continuously.

This woman is like this, she has no opinion of her own. It's useless to ask her. Asking her will only make you more upset.

However, he also felt that Yang Qingxiang was wise to say so. She was just a concubine, and it was not her turn to make decisions on major and minor matters in the family. Instead of expressing her own ideas, it would be better to say nothing. If her ideas were consistent with those of Yang Jun and Yi Qiu Shui, it would be fine. But if they were not, what she said in the end would be in vain and would only make herself uncomfortable.

Of course she was willing to accept Guo Tianyue's proposal. She would love to have an alliance with the Guo and Chen families. Yang Chengcai was just a bastard. In the future, the huge family business of the Yang family would be inherited by Yang Chengdao. As for him, this bastard was destined to have no chance of getting the family property. Therefore, she felt that it was undoubtedly a good thing to marry into a powerful family like the Chen family.

However, ideas are just ideas, and it is not her turn to make the decision.

"You don't agree."

Yang Jun realized that it was useless to ask, so he simply made a decision for her.

"Forehead?"

Yang Qingxiang was stunned for a moment, and even Yi Qiu Shui was confused.

Yang Jun continued, "No matter who proposes marriage to you, just say you don't agree."

Yang Qingxiang looked at Yang Jun with a confused expression, then looked at Yi Qiu Shui.

Yi Qiushui groaned and said, "Husband, what you mean is..."

Yang Jun: "Chengcai is still young, let's not talk about this kind of thing in the future. I don't want all of my children, Yang Jun, to be like Chengdao."

"That's it."

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

He is going fishing.

After he left, Yang Qingxiang had not yet recovered from her confusion.

"Sister Qiushui, what exactly does husband mean? I still don't understand."

Hearing this, Yi Qiushui looked at the silly woman in front of him and said with a smile: "Just don't consider this matter for the time being."

"Oh, so that's it."

Yang Qingxiang seemed to understand something.

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you something. If Auntie Guo and Tianyue come to propose marriage again, I will have someone call you. At that time, you should just say that Chengcai is still young and we won't consider this matter for the time being."

"Remember, you must stick to your own ideas and don't throw all the difficult problems to Lao Yang. It's okay to refuse other people, but as for Aunt Guo... In short, don't make things difficult for Lao Yang."

"I understand, sister." Yang Qingxiang.

……

Sure enough, around noon, Aunt Guo came to the door. This time she came alone and did not bring Guo Tianyue with her.

Yang Jun quickly welcomed her into the living room.

After the servants served the tea, Yang Jun got straight to the point and said, "Aunt Guo, you are not here to propose marriage, are you?"

Aunt Guo raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you asked, Jun'er, I won't hide anything. I'll tell you what I have to say."

"Yes, I am here to propose marriage, but..."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, then continued, "However, I am not here to propose marriage to Maomao, but to Jun Juanjuan."

"Juanjuan?"

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and even Yi Qiu Shui who was standing beside him was also stunned.

Juanjuan is the little girl of Guo Tianming and Ding Qiunan. She is only eleven or twelve years old and just started the sixth grade this year.

Hearing this, Yang Jun couldn't help but laugh.

"Aunt Guo, are you serious?"

"What else? Do you think I'm kidding you?" Aunt Guo raised her eyebrows.

"Aunt, you... Hey, why do I feel like you are joking with me?" Yang Jun laughed and said, "How old is Juanjuan? He and Chengcai are almost five years apart in age. They are not suitable for each other."

“It’s not suitable but it’s also suitable.”

Aunt Guo glared at him and said, "If I don't take action now, your sons will all be picked by others, and I won't be able to pick any."

"It doesn't matter if they are five years apart or fifteen years apart. Anyway, the Guo and Yang families must get married."

"Before, I wanted to bring Juanjuan and Chengdao together, but that guy acted without authorization, so I could only bring them together."

After that, I added: "You don't think that the children of my Guo family are unworthy of success, do you?"

Although Aunt Guo did not explicitly say that Yang Chengcai was a bastard, her words implied that their Guo family was still worthy of Yang Chengcai. At the same time, she was also expressing her attitude that this marriage had to be successful.

"No, no, it's us who are marrying up." Yang Jun said quickly.

"Humph!"

Yang Jun smiled and said, "Aunt Guo, Chengcai and Juanjuan are really too far apart in age. I think it would be better if Chengzhi and your Maodan..."

At this point, Yang Jun paused and looked at Aunt Guo. Upon hearing this, Aunt Guo slapped her head fiercely.

"Look at me, I am getting old and confused. I only want to send my daughter to your family, but I don't want to marry your daughter home."

"Maodan is sixteen this year, and your family's Chengzhi..."

"Also sixteen." Yang Jun said quickly.

"Yes, they are the same age and a perfect match. That's how the marriage is arranged." Aunt Guo.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun could only smile bitterly.

Since Guo Bo's mother has stepped in, it means that he has no way out. This marriage must be arranged no matter what. There will always be a marriage between the Yang family and the Guo family. This cannot be changed. It will be either Chengcai and Juanjuan or Maodan and Chengzhi. There will always be one.

This cannot be changed.

Guo Caodi can be said to be Yang Jun's benefactor. Without him, Yang Jun would probably have just been working in a steel rolling mill all his life and would never have the status he has today. His achievements today are all thanks to Guo Caodi, so he must repay the Guo family no matter what.

In the past, it was the Guo family that helped the Yang family. Now that Guo Caodi is gone, it is natural for the Yang family to help the Guo family.

Besides, the Guo family has a strong background. Although Guo Caodi is no longer with us, his disciples and former officials are still there. In addition, Aunt Guo is also an influential person. As long as she is around, those people will always give her some face.

So, this marriage is still a good one.

"That's great. This way our two families can become even closer." Aunt Guo was very happy.

It can be seen that she is very happy at the moment, as if the gains she has made this time far exceed her expectations.

The age difference between Juanjuan and Chengcai is five years, which is indeed a bit outrageous. However, when she thinks that Maodan can get engaged to Chengzhi, she feels it is worth it.

Cheng Zhi is Yang Jun's third daughter, only younger than Cheng Dao and Cheng Cai, and can be considered Yang Jun's oldest daughter. Yang Jun loves her very much. If the grandson of the Guo family can marry Yang Jun's daughter, it would be considered as marrying above their station.

There is no way. Things change over time. Now that the Guo family is in decline, she can only count on the Yang family.

At this time, Yi Qiu Shui touched Yang Jun, with her mouth slightly opened, as if reminding him of something.

When Yang Jun saw this, he immediately understood.

"Aunt Guo, the marriage between Chengcai and Maomao..."

Seeing this, Aunt Guo waved her hands and said, "I only take care of the Guo family's children. As for the Chen family...you can handle it as you wish."

"If you are willing, then you are willing. If you are not willing, then you are not willing. Don't consider my face."

Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Aunt Guo, I feel relieved when you say that."

He really didn't want Yang Chengcai and Maomao to be together. It wasn't that he looked down on the Chen family, but he really didn't want the child to be arranged to be married at such a young age.

There is no way to deal with the matter of Yang Chengzhi and Maodan. Even if we don't mention it now, we will have to mention it in the future. The Yang family and the Guo family will always have a marriage, and this cannot be changed.

As for the other children, Yang Jun didn't want them to be exposed to such things at such a young age. If possible, he also wanted the children to choose the person they like, rather than having their parents' orders and matchmakers' words.

Aunt Guo stayed for lunch at noon. After the meal, we chatted for a while before leaving.

Yang Jun and Yi Qiu Shui personally escorted her to the gate.

Watching Aunt Guo's car driving away, the smile on Yang Jun's face disappeared, replaced by a sad look.

Seeing this, Yi Qiu Shui sighed slightly and patted his shoulder.

"You talk to Yani yourself. I'm going back first."

Yang Chengzhi is the daughter of Yang Jun and Huang Yani. It is indeed a bit too much to arrange this marriage without Huang Yani's consent.

Looking at Yi Qiushui's back, Yang Jun called out, "Hey, aren't you going to accompany me?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiu Shui waved his hand without even turning his head, and quickened his pace to leave.

Yang Jun sighed.

Knowing that this matter will be told sooner or later, it is better to say it sooner.

He stood there for a while, thinking, and then walked towards the backyard.

He went to Huang Yani's yard, but she was not there. The servant told him that Huang Yani had gone to the high school to attend a parent-teacher meeting for Cheng Zhi and would be back later.

After hearing this, Yang Jun actually felt inexplicably relieved.

At least, I don’t have to face Huang Yani right away.

As for the future, I'll just put it off for a while...

At dinner time, the family sat there eating as usual.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Yang Jun glanced at Cheng Zhi at the children's table and found that the child was competing with his brothers and sisters to see who could eat faster, as if nothing had happened. Seeing this scene, Yang Jun sighed.

"Leave the door open for me tonight."

Huang Yani was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then pointed at herself: "Is it me?"

She thought she had heard it wrong. Yang Jun actually took the initiative to ask to go to her yard, and he said it in front of so many women. For a moment, she thought she had heard it wrong.

Seeing this, Meng Wenya said mischievously: "Sister Yani, you heard it wrong, Lao Yang asked me to leave the door open."

Nalan Qingmeng at the side also took the opportunity to interject: "You all heard it wrong, Lao Yang asked me to leave the door open."

Seeing that other women were also getting ready to make a move, Yi Qiu Shui knocked on the table with chopsticks.

"Stop arguing, Lao Yang is going to Yani's yard tonight."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, all the women expressed their dissatisfaction.

Although they knew that Yang Jun asked Huang Yani to leave the door open, they still couldn't help feeling disappointed after hearing it.

"Okay, stop looking so sad. Starting tomorrow you will take turns according to the schedule. No one is allowed to cut in line. I say that." Yi Qiu Shui said.

"Great."

Upon hearing this, several women shouted in unison.

Since Yi Qiu Shui said so, it must be true.

As long as Yi Qiu Shui doesn't intercept them halfway, they can all benefit equally.

Huang Yani was stunned for a moment at the sudden good news, and then she was secretly happy in her heart.

As for Yang Jun, he lowered his head and ate. He didn't care who he was with, as he was the one who benefited anyway.

As soon as we arrived at Huang Yani's yard.

Huang Yani immediately sent the servants away and couldn't wait to drag Yang Jun into the bathroom.

"Don't worry, I have something to tell you."

Yang Jun's mind was not on that and he looked uninterested.

"Let's talk about it later."

Huang Yani said as she ran the bath water: "You haven't come to see me for almost a month. Even if there is something important, just put it aside now."

Seeing that she was so excited, Yang Jun didn't want to spoil her mood.

"Okay, we can talk about it later."

Yang Jun thought that if he could make her happy later, then it would be much easier to do that thing with half the effort.

Then he took off his outer clothes. (End of this chapter)
