Siheyuan: Domineering life

Today is the first day of the funeral at home and also the busiest day.

More and more people from all sides came to pay their respects after hearing the news. The task of welcoming the guests could be left to Zhong Yuemin. Yang Jun did not need to greet the guests personally. Sometimes he would stay in the mourning hall for a while and then go to the room on the second floor.

His identity was too special and he could not be exposed to the public for a long time, but as a son-in-law, he could not leave directly, so the best way was to stay in the room on the second floor.

With Sun Zhaocai and Sha Zhu guarding the door, there was no need to worry about anyone breaking in. Even three meals a day were delivered to the room.

By the evening, fewer people came to pay their respects. Since the body had to be kept for five days before the funeral, the next few days were idle, and the busiest time was the day of the funeral.

In the evening, Yang Jun took some time to go back home.

As soon as he got home, he took a shower.

It’s so hot today and I haven’t taken a shower for two days. I stink all over and the wet clothes stick to my body which is very uncomfortable.

"Honey, can I come in?"

Huang Yani stood at the bathroom door with a change of clothes.

"come in."

Yang Jun had just finished washing up and was wiping the water off his body.

"what?"

Huang Yani pushed the door open and screamed when she saw Yang Jun standing there naked.

When she came to her senses, she smiled embarrassedly again.

"You're still so surprised. It's not like you haven't seen it before." Yang Jun curled his lips.

He suspected that Huang Yani was just being naive. She was almost fifty years old, but she still wanted to learn to be as jumpy as a little girl.

"Hate."

Huang Yani put the new clothes aside, walked over to take the towel from his hand and helped him wipe his body. While wiping, she smiled and said,
"Haven't I seen you as a child?"

"What did I look like as a child?"

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"You are indeed an experienced driver, your driving skills are becoming more and more proficient."

"Didn't you teach me all this?" Huang Yani sneered.

"I realize that I have nothing left to teach you now. With your talent, you are even better than me."

"No, no, no, the master taught me well."

Huang Yani was joking while deliberately touching Yang Jun's sensitive parts, making Yang Jun feel hot inside.

"Hey, I think you are courting death..."

Yang Jun hugged her by the waist...

……

The wind stops and the rain stops.

Yang Jun rinsed again and then went to the restaurant with Huang Yani.

He hadn't eaten well in the past two days, and the food at Guo's house was not to his taste, so he was starving.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the food was ready. The family had already had dinner and went back to their own rooms, while the sisters Nini and Nalan Qingyun stayed to accompany Yang Jun.

"Would you like to eat some more?"

Yang Jun picked up the bowl and said.

"We have just eaten, you can eat by yourself." Nalan Qingyun said with a smile.

Several women had finished their meal. They sat aside and watched Yang Jun eat while chatting.

"The children must be very unhappy that they couldn't play this time, right?" Yang Jun asked.

They had originally planned to go to Jiuzhaigou for this summer vacation, but they didn't expect to be called back by Yang Jun before they arrived at Jiuzhaigou. It was impossible for them not to have any objections.

Grandma has passed away, and it would be unreasonable for them, as the younger generations, not to come back.

"Yes, children only have childish thoughts. They only think about playing and don't know these things." Nalan Qingyun explained.

"During the winter vacation, our mom passed away and they couldn't play together. This time, their grandmother passed away and they still couldn't play together. It's impossible to say that they don't feel resentful." Meng Wenya said.

"Do you have any resentment?" Yang Jun asked.

"Hey, we are not children. We know the priorities of things. Besides, we have plenty of time to play."

"That's right, Lao Yang, what do you think of us? Are we the kind of people who don't know the importance of things?"

After hearing this, Yang Jun rolled his eyes at them.

"That's good if you don't have any objections. If you do have any, just bear with it."

His words earned him the cold stares from the girls.

"The weather is already very hot, could you please speak nicely?" Huang Yani scolded.

"Is it not okay for me to lose my temper with my woman?" Yang Jun raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, you also know that we are your women, not punching bags."

Huang Yani relied on her status as a meritorious firefighter who had just put out the fire for Yang Jun, so she dared to say what others dared not say.

"The first one to stick his head out gets shot. Be careful or I'll shoot you." Yang Jun rolled his eyes at her.

"Come on, who's afraid of whom?"

Huang Yani was not afraid at all, instead she kept provoking.

He felt that Yang Jun had just suffered a serious injury and could not recover his combat effectiveness in a short period of time, so he was so unscrupulous.

"Humph!"

How could Yang Jun not know what she was thinking, so he snorted coldly and said, "You wish for it. I tell you clearly that you will sleep alone for the next year."

"what?"

When Huang Yani heard this, her face immediately drooped.

Although she is no longer in her prime, she is now at the age of sitting on the ground and eating dirt. If Yang Jun doesn't touch her for a year, what's the difference between that and taking her life?

"Pfft!"

Seeing this, all the girls laughed.

"Lao Yang, I'm willing to be your punching bag. You can vent your anger however you want. It's best to do it tonight." Meng Wenya said with a giggle.

This woman is not a good person. She thought she had found a bargain, so she promptly offered Yang Jun a pillow when he was sleepy.

"Me too, me too, take out your anger on me."

The girls all rushed to speak.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun rolled his eyes at them.

This group of vicious people were always eyeing this piece of fat meat of his with covetous eyes, and if he wasn't careful, he would be eaten till not even a bone would be left.

He glanced at Nini, who had been silent, and said, "Don't you want to be my punching bag?"

"I...I do." Nini was stunned for a moment.

She usually doesn't talk much, especially when a group of experienced drivers are driving, she, a novice driver, can't get a word in at all.

"Then it's you." Yang Jun.

When the girls heard this, they all looked disappointed and looked at Nini with more envy.

"Oh."

Nini's face flushed immediately and she quickly lowered her head. "Hey."

Huang Yani suddenly sighed and said to herself: "Sometimes not fighting is the best way to fight."

"You are so smart."

Yang Jun rolled his eyes at her.

"I was just the early bird." Huang Yani rolled her eyes at him.

If she hadn't been waiting at the door for Yang Jun to come back, she wouldn't have had this opportunity.

Their words were vague, but everyone understood that something must have happened between them... or an accident.

Huang Yani, the experienced driver, drove first. Seeing this, others joined in. Only Nini sat there with a red face.

Seeing that they were driving further and further off the road, Yang Jun knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks.

"Take your children there to pay respects tomorrow and don't let anyone pick on you."

"Shall we... go over there too?" Huang Yani pointed at herself.

You have to know that they are concubines and cannot reveal their identities to the outside world. No matter what happened before, they could not show up in public. But since the death of their mother-in-law Wang Yuying, Yang Jun let them attend the funeral as daughters-in-law.

"Forehead……"

Yang Jun hesitated.

"You guys better not go. Let Cheng Dao take his brothers and sisters there tomorrow."

"Hey."

After hearing this, everyone sighed.

They thought Yang Jun allowed them to go out and show themselves in public, but they didn't expect it to be a false alarm in the end.

"Don't be discouraged. We'll see how the situation develops in the future." Yang Jun comforted them.

"It depends on the situation?" Huang Yani pointed at herself and said, "I'm almost fifty years old, and my life is coming to an end. How long do you think it will take in the future?"

"That's right, I'm already 48 years old this year." Meng Wenya pouted.

Other women chimed in.

Hearing this, Yang Jun thought for a moment and said, "When I stand on the top of the pyramid, you can go out openly then."

When the women heard this, their eyes lit up.

"Hubby, you have to cheer up. You are only one step away from that step. Whether we can get out depends on you."

"That's right, husband, you better try your best and try to climb up as early as possible."

Yang Jun's words undoubtedly gave them hope, and this hope was still within reach. With Yang Jun's current status, he was only one step away from the pyramid, and reaching the top was just around the corner. What's more, Yang Jun had achieved such success at such a young age, so reaching the top was not impossible.

"Well, I will try my best." Yang Jun curled his lips.

"Hubby, come on, you can do it."

The girls cheered him on by pumping their fists.

In fact, they don't necessarily want to go out openly or show up in public as individuals. They just simply want Yang Jun to be better. Only when Yang Jun is well, they will be truly secure.

Over the years, except for not being able to participate in any activities as Yang Jun's women, their freedom is not restricted. They can do whatever they want and go wherever they want. They are free and easy. However, although they don't have much to pursue, they still have to think about their children. They don't want their children to be born in an improper way.

After dinner, Yang Jun went straight back to Nini's yard.

……

the next day.

After finishing breakfast, Yang Jun was about to take the children to Guo's house. At this time, Luo Xiaojun hurriedly came to the backyard with a middle-aged man.

When he saw the middle-aged man, Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"Uncle Yang."

Even from a distance, the man started crying and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, the group of people who were originally planning to go to Guo's house all stood there in a daze, staring at the man.

The person who came was none other than Ji Deming's son Ji Jia.

The kid is only in his thirties, but he looks as mature as someone in his fifties. At this moment, he looks listless as if he has lost all his energy, and his eyes are bloodshot like a wild beast.

"Uncle Yang."

Ji Jia screamed and cried, "Uncle Yang, my dad is gone."

When Yang Jun heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

He stood there for a long time without saying anything, looking ahead with empty eyes. I don't know what he was thinking.

It took him a while to come back to his senses.

"When did your father leave?"

Yang Jun felt a little heartbroken, and a wave of sadness surged in his heart. He had only been separated from Ji Demin for two days, how could he be gone so soon?
The doctor said he still had a few months to live, why only three days?
"Uncle Yang, my father passed away at three o'clock this morning." Ji Jia said sadly.

After hearing this, Yang Jun staggered a little, but fortunately Yang Chengdao was quick to catch him.

"dad."

Yang Chengdao shouted, then looked at him with worried eyes.

"I'm fine, let me take it easy." Yang Jun patted his son's arm.

As his friends and relatives left him one by one, Yang Jun felt more and more lonely. In recent years, he has been thinking about a question: what should he do when the familiar people around him leave him one by one?
Should I muster up the courage to end this curse of immortality or find a place where no one knows me and live on?

He asked himself this question countless times, but in the end it was always left unanswered. He really didn't have the courage to end his life, but he didn't want to live on in vain. He was very conflicted. This question kept bothering him and made him exhausted.

Yang Jun staggered to Ji Jia and helped him up from the ground.

"Kid, Uncle Yang knows."

Yang Jun choked up and said, "You go back first, I'll go see your dad later."

"I know, Uncle Yang."

Ji Jia wanted to say something, but seeing the sad expression on Yang Jun's face, he could only swallow his words.

Luo Xiaojun saw Ji Jia off. Looking at Ji Jia's hunched back, Yang Jun felt even more sad.

"Dad, are you okay?"

His son Yang Chengdao looked at Yang Jun with some concern, and kept holding Yang Jun's arms with both hands, fearing that he would fall.

From childhood to adulthood, Yang Jun has always been a man of integrity in his mind. He has never backed down even when faced with great difficulties. In his mind, Yang Jun is not only his father, but also his hero.

However, when he saw Yang Jun's distraught look today, he realized that his father was actually an ordinary person with flesh and blood, and not as powerful as he had imagined. In addition to feeling lost, he felt more distressed for his father.

For so many years, his father has been supporting this family. No matter how great the difficulties and pains are, he has endured them all silently. He has never seen his father weak. But today he saw that his father not only has moments of weakness, but is also a man of affection and righteousness.

Ever since he had his own child, he was able to understand more and more why his father was so strict with him. It was all for his own good.

By the time he understood this truth, his father was already old.

Although Yang Jun looked only in his twenties, he knew that his father's heart was really tired. From that moment on, he silently decided that he must be strong and support the family for his father.

"Oh……"

Yang Jun was in a daze for a moment and pushed away his son's hand.

"I'm fine, don't worry, I'm just a little sad."

Yang Jun spoke lightly, but his choked voice still betrayed him.

"Cheng Dao, you take your brothers and sisters to the Guo family, I will go... to see your uncle Ji." (End of this chapter)
