Siheyuan: Domineering life

The next morning, when Yang Jun got up, he heard a quarrel coming from the living room.

After listening carefully, it seemed to be the voices of sisters Yi Qiu Shui and Yi Qiu Yue.

He didn't go there directly, but went to the bathroom to wash up first. He was sticky all over after fighting for so long last night. After taking a shower, he changed into clean clothes.

He did not bring an umbrella to get involved in the sisters' affairs. He wanted to slip away quietly, but he was stopped by the sharp-eyed Yi Qiuyue.

"Brother-in-law!"

Yi Qiuyue rushed out of the living room and held Yang Jun's arm tightly.

"You are here, and I want to hear your opinion."

After hearing this, Yang Jun frowned deeply.

He knew that there was trouble that he couldn't avoid, and to be honest, he really didn't want to get involved in their family affairs.

There is no need to guess, Yi Qiu Shui definitely did not convince her, otherwise they would not have argued so fiercely.

"Hey."

General Yang sighed and said, "What's going on? Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning? Can you please stop worrying?"

"Asking knowingly."

Yi Qiuyue held his arm tightly, fearing that he would run away.

"Meiling came to see you last night, you must show some attitude today."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun glanced at Yi Qiu Shui who was standing under the eaves.

Yi Qiu Shui also had a bitter smile on his face and turned his head to the side, meaning that he didn't care anymore.

"You listen to what I say?"

"Listen, you must listen." Yi Qiuyue said, and added: "But you must stand on an impartial position."

"I don't know what is fair. If you want to hear my opinion, my opinion is to respect the children's opinions." Yang Jun.

"No, Cheng is not a good match. His family background is not good."

"What the hell is that?"

Yang Jun's eyes widened, and he shook off the hand that was holding him, saying, "I don't care about your family's affairs, you can do whatever you want."

"Brother-in-law, you can't just ignore it. If you don't, who will?"

"Whoever wants to care can do it."

Yang Jun said this and walked towards the restaurant.

"Brother-in-law, don't go." Yi Qiuyue hurriedly chased after him.

Seeing this, Yi Qiu Shui shook his head and followed.

Come to the restaurant.

The children have finished their breakfast and some have gone to school or to play, leaving only the adults at the table.

Yang Jun sat in the main seat as usual. Just as he picked up the chopsticks, Yi Qiuyue followed him.

"Brother-in-law, Meiling and the others can't be together. The Cheng family background is not good, and he is not worthy of our Yi family."

"Didn't you say you wanted to revitalize the Yi family? Are you just choosing a husband for Meiling? This won't help at all."

"Anyway, I won't agree with them being together."

Yi Qiuyue said relentlessly.

Yang Jun frowned after hearing this.

"Can you just have a peaceful meal? If you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner, okay?"

"No, this must be said now."

"Snapped!"

Yang Jun slammed his chopsticks on the table and said, "I have already expressed my opinion. What else do you want?"

"But they are not suitable..."

"What is appropriate? What you think is appropriate? Have you ever considered the feelings of the children?"

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he picked up a bun with his chopsticks and started eating.

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiuyue blushed and said nothing. She snorted coldly and turned to the side.

At this time, Yi Qiushui said, "Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but don't be so snobbish. You should always consider the child's feelings, right?"

"Meiling and Cheng Jiaxue are in love with each other, and their family backgrounds are not bad either. They are a perfect match made in heaven."

After hearing this, Yi Qiuyue's eyes turned red and she choked up, "But... didn't you always say that you wanted to revitalize the Yi family? How come now that you're married, you only think about your own little family and forget that we're members of the Yi family?"

After hearing this, Yi Qiu Shui felt a great headache and his brows furrowed even deeper.

To be honest, Yi Qiuyue's words touched her heart.

That's right, she is now the daughter-in-law of the Yang family and has her own small family. All her energy and hope are placed on this family. As for the Yi family... she really doesn't want to care about it. After all, her parents are gone and there is no male heir in the family. She doesn't think about revitalizing the Yi family. She just wants to live a good life now and take care of everything in the Yang family with all her heart.

"Sister, the hope of revitalizing the Yi family lies in Meiling, you can't just ignore her." Yi Qiuyue looked at her sister with tears in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiu Shui sighed secretly.

"How can I not care?"

"But... while we are revitalizing the family, we also have to consider the child's personal feelings. Besides, the Cheng family has a good family background and is a good match for Meiling. I think... let's make them happy."

"sister!"

Yi Qiuyue was obviously not satisfied with the Cheng family's family background and was extremely unwilling.

"Don't make things difficult for me and your brother-in-law. We have already expressed our opinions. If you accept, we will continue to help you as always. If you don't accept... that's it."

Yi Qiu Shui didn't say anything absolutely. After all, they were sisters, so she had to leave them some room.

"Okay, okay, I finally understand. You say you want to help revitalize the Yi family, but you don't really want to help. Meiling is not your child, so of course you don't really care about her. You...you are too selfish." Yi Qiuyue.

When the word "selfish" came out, even Yi Qiu Shui, who usually had a good temper, couldn't help but get angry.

"Qiuyue, you should speak with conscience. What do you mean by us being selfish?"

"If we were selfish, you would still be living in the mountains with three children. If we were selfish, would you have everything you have today?"

Yi Qiu Shui was also angry. She didn't care about sisterhood at this moment and exploded directly.

Others can say this, but she cannot. In order to revitalize the Yi family, she and Yang Jun can be said to have helped her selflessly, giving her a house, a car, and property, and even using their connections to help her find a job. Now the eldest daughter Yi Meiling also has a stable job...

Yi Qiushui felt very sad when he thought of what Yi Qiuyue said.

"Sister, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."

"enough."

Without waiting for her to continue, Yang Jun slammed the table to interrupt her.

"Qiuyue."

Yang Jun said solemnly, "Your sister has made it very clear. If you still want us to help you in the future, then don't interfere with Meiling's marriage. Do you understand?"

Yi Qiuyue: "Brother-in-law..."

She opened her mouth, looking hesitant.

Seeing that Yang Jun was angry, he panicked.

If Yang Jun really doesn't help her, not to mention reviving the Yi family, there will be no future for this family.

After weighing it over and over again, he finally decided, "Okay, I'll listen to my brother-in-law."

Hearing that she finally gave in, Yang Jun and Yi Qiu Shui also breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right. Why do we have to be well-matched? Look at Cheng Dao, he just found an ordinary family. We don't care about being well-matched, so why do you care about these things?" Yi Qiu Shui said with a smile.

"Compared to being well-matched, the happiness of the children is the most important thing. Isn't this what we, as elders, wish for?"

Yi Qiuyue obviously still couldn't accept Cheng Jiaxue, but she couldn't say anything against it. However, things had come to this point and she could do nothing about it. After all, she still had to rely on Yang Jun to revitalize the Yi family in the future.

Regardless of whether or not the family can be revitalized, just because Yang Jun can make the four of them live a comfortable life, she will listen to Yang Jun. "It's settled, don't interfere in their affairs anymore."

Seeing this, Yang Jun made the decision immediately.

If it weren't for the child's sake, he would not bother with this trivial matter. Not only did he get no benefits, but he also got himself into trouble and was blamed.

Yi Qiushui stroked her shoulders gently and said gently: "Don't always think about revitalizing the family. The happiness of the children should be the first priority. Only when the children are doing well can we talk about other things. Don't you agree?"

"Hmph... uh, yeah." Yi Qiuyue looked reluctant.

Yi Qiu Shui listened and smiled slightly.

She knew that Yi Qiuyue was still unable to come to her senses, and she did not intend to persuade her. Once this matter became a fait accompli, she would just accept her fate.

"Okay, I'll help you calculate the date later and find an auspicious day for them to get engaged."

"Sister." Yi Qiuyue called out in dissatisfaction.

Although I am unwilling, this is the only way.

Fortunately, he had more than one daughter, and she secretly vowed that when her second daughter looked for a husband, she would definitely find one from a wealthy and powerful family. This could be considered a little help to her youngest son.

When people are poor, they can make do with anything, but once they enter the door of wealth, they immediately forget their previous hard days and become particular about everything, without even considering whether they have the capital to show off.

"Okay, okay, that's it, ah."

After hearing this, Yi Qiuyue had no choice but to give up.

She looked back at Yang Jun, and then said, "Brother-in-law, since you have spoken, I can only do as you say. I have no objection to their marriage."

"but……"

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "But, having said that, the Cheng family's background is indeed not strong enough, so you still need to help them a little more."

After hearing this, Yang Jun rolled his eyes and said nothing.

He is so busy taking care of his own children that he has no time to think about other people's affairs.

Seeing that Yang Jun didn't say anything, Yi Qiu Shui hurried to smooth things over.

"I'll accept it on behalf of your brother-in-law, so you can put your mind at ease."

"Then it's settled."

Yi Qiuyue looked at Yang Jun and spoke, as if waiting for Yang Jun's promise.

But Yang Jun kept his head down and ate, pretending not to hear.

"You came here so early in the morning and haven't eaten yet. I'll eat something too."

Yi Qiuyue talked to herself, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Yang Jun and Yi Qiu Shui smiled at each other, then shook their heads.

After dinner, Yang Jun did not go to the unit, but went to the pond.

It was February and still very cold outside, so he stayed in the glass house.

Sun Zhaocai had already lit the stove in the greenhouse, and there were sweet potatoes and potatoes on the stove. This guy was sitting beside it, applying spices and other things on the two ducks, with his hands full of things.

Yang Jun frowned when he saw this.

"Eating roast duck again?"

"Forehead."

Sun Zhaocai responded, raised his head and rolled his eyes, then glanced at Yang Jun. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he felt more confident and did it boldly.

"Uncle Yang, would you like to eat some? I'll add more seasoning for you."

"I feel like vomiting when I smell roast duck now." Yang Jun.

Over the years, at least 8,000 ducks have died at this guy's hands, if not 10,000. He feels like vomiting every time he smells the roast duck.

"Haha, I changed two seasonings today, I guarantee it will be very fragrant." Sun Zhaocai laughed.

"Isn't it still a duck?" Yang Jun said dissatisfiedly.

He didn't know why this guy loved roast duck so much and could never get enough of it. And the foodie Ding Erzhu behind him was sitting there with drooling, staring at the duck in his hand without blinking.

"Hehe, it's all the same." Sun Zhaocai smiled foolishly.

Yang Jun was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just lay down on the rattan chair, closed his eyes and started his lazy day.

At this time, the phone in the greenhouse rang. It was the doorman calling.

Sha Zhu took the phone, listened for a while, then turned back to Yang Jun and said,

"Godfather, it's Uncle Anguo, do you want to meet him?"

"Let him in." Yang Jun thought about it and decided to let him in.

After a while, Yang Anguo came.

This guy was carrying a lot of bags and brought a lot of things.

"elder brother."

After entering the greenhouse, Yang Anguo called out and then put the things in his hands aside.

"I brought you some local specialties. I left them here."

Yang Jun hummed softly as a greeting.

"Hey, Zhaocai, you want to eat roast duck again. Can we have a drink later?"

"Uncle Anguo, no problem."

Sun Zhaocai glanced at Yang Jun and was delighted to see that he had no objection.

He wished someone would ask him to drink with him, so that he could drink openly.

"You talk to Uncle Yang first, I'll go get another duck."

After saying that, he ordered Sha Zhu to go to the kitchen to get another duck.

"elder brother."

Yang Anguo shouted, then took out a cigarette and lit it for Yang Jun.

Yang Jun took two puffs of his cigarette and exhaled the thick smoke in his mouth.

"Are you done with the housework?"

Both Yang Jun and he had the "filial piety" badge on their arms, which was a unique mark of filial piety.

"Well, I'm done with my work. I just got back this morning."

"Where is your brother?" Yang Jun asked.

"It will take him a few days to come back, and there are some follow-up matters to be dealt with at home."

After a while, Yang Jun asked again: "Is it not difficult for the mother and son?"

The mother and son that Yang Jun was talking about were his second uncle Yang Dong's newly married wife and youngest son. Now that his second uncle was gone, there was no man in the family. Yang Jun was afraid that the two brothers would bully the orphan and widow.

"Brother, how is that possible?"

Yang Anguo said: "Whether you believe it or not, I now treat them as my own family. I have figured it out. Whether you admit it or not, blood ties cannot be deceived. Acknowledging this relative is like having one more brother."

"Are you right?"

After hearing this, Yang Jun showed a relieved smile on his face.

"If you think so, I feel relieved."

After a slight pause, he continued, "What are their future plans, mother and son?"

"I talked to Auntie Ma, and she said she would not remarry and would live in her hometown with her children."

"That's good." Yang Jun listened and nodded slightly.

"Hey, brother, this person is really strange. Once you trust her, she will open up to you. Through this communication, I found that Aunt Ma is a good person, not quite the same as I imagined before." Yang Anguo.
