Siheyuan: Domineering life

The next day, Yi Qiu Shui took the whole family out for an outing.

She did not stay to accompany Yang Jun, and even took away all the women in the house, because she knew that Yang Jun had more than just them, and there was no telling how many more he had outside.

She now understands that one should not be too clear-headed in life, and it is best to turn a blind eye. If one cares about everything, it will only make life difficult for oneself. She knows very well that she cannot do without Yang Jun, because her son Yang Chengdao needs this family, and because the revitalization of the Guo family also depends on Yang Jun. In public and private terms, she cannot do without Yang Jun in any way.

Besides, she had recently seen with her own eyes that Yang Jun was getting younger and younger. Compared to Yang Jun, she was getting older and older. One day, she would leave this world before Yang Jun. She was destined not to be able to live with Yang Jun forever, and especially in that aspect, she could not satisfy Yang Jun. Therefore, this was the fundamental reason why she tacitly agreed to Yang Jun finding women outside.

As long as Yang Jun doesn't touch her, his wife, she doesn't care about anything else.

People have to face two major events from the moment they are born, life and death. The first event has been completed, and the rest of the time is waiting to die. This is something no one can avoid, but Yang Jun is an exception. He seems to have achieved immortality, at least that's what Yi Qiu Shui thinks.

In addition, after Yang Jun performed his magical powers in front of her several times, she became more determined in this idea. She knew in her heart that the two of them were not destined to grow old together, and Yang Jun was still in his prime and needed a woman by his side, which she could not provide, so there was no need for her to care about it.

The whole family went on a trip, taking most of the family members with them. The whole house suddenly seemed empty. However, Yang Jun liked the quietness very much. Apart from eating and sleeping, he would fish by the river every day. His life was quite comfortable.

"elder brother!"

Yang Jun was chatting with Sun Zhaocai, Sha Zhu and others in the glass room when Yang Mei suddenly pushed the door open.

Seeing this, Yang Jun quickly put on a short-sleeved shirt.

After spending so much time with those two idiots, he no longer cared about his appearance. When he had nothing to do, he liked to go shirtless, which was really cool.

"Auntie."

Sun Zhaocai said hello to Sha Zhu, then ran away with the T-shirt.

"How did you come?"

Yang Jun said as he buttoned up his clothes.

"Come and talk to you."

Yang Mei sat on the small bench opposite and poured herself a glass of water. While drinking, she said, "Brother, you are becoming more and more slovenly now that your sisters-in-law are not here."

"Haha, your sisters-in-law are not here, who should I wear it for?" Yang Jun laughed.

"Aren't you afraid of being seen?" Yang Mei rolled her eyes after hearing this.

"Except for you who barges in so presumptuously, I really can't think of anyone else who would be so rude." Yang Jun curled his lips.

"Hate."

After hearing this, Yangmei blushed.

"By the way, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Yang Jun lit a cigarette and sat there looking at her.

"It's nothing, just Xiao Zhuang's matter."

"What happened to Xiao Zhuang?"

"She has graduated from college, so as her uncle, you can arrange a job for her."

Liu Xiaozhuang graduated in July this year and is currently in the job-hunting stage. Yang Mei had high expectations for her daughter, so she had arranged a job for her before she graduated. However, she suddenly felt dissatisfied and thought that she should come and see Yang Jun, maybe there would be some unexpected surprises.

"Didn't you arrange her to work in the State-owned Assets Bureau?" Yang Jun asked.

"Oh, brother, I don't think the State-owned Assets Bureau is ideal. How about you arrange one for her?"

After Yang Mei finished speaking, she pulled Yang Jun's arm and said coquettishly, "Brother, as an uncle, you can't just ignore your niece, right?"

"Stop shaking. You're making me dizzy."

Yang Jun pulled her hand away, then thought for a moment and said, "I also think the State-owned Assets Administration is not a good idea."

“Although the pay there is good and it’s easy to advance, but… in the long run, it’s hard to climb higher.”

"Oh, I thought so too."

After hearing what Yang Jun said, Yang Mei was very glad that she came to him for advice. If Liu Xiaozhuang really went to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, she would definitely be unwilling.

"I was thinking of arranging her in the State-owned Assets Bureau so that I could take care of her. I didn't expect... Oh, I almost ruined her career."

"It's not too late to change jobs now." Yang Jun.

"Brother, I will follow your arrangements wherever Xiaozhuang goes."

After saying that, he took Yang Jun's arm again and looked at him hopefully.

"let go."

Yang Jun pulled her hand away again.

"Well... my opinion is that if you want to enter politics, it's best to start from the grassroots level."

Yang Mei frowned slightly after hearing this, but finally said cheerfully: "I'll listen to you, big brother. I'll do whatever you say."

"Are you sure you want to follow my instructions?" Yang Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't blame me later."

"No, no, big brother, your arrangement is the best. You must be doing this for Xiaozhuang's good."

"Well, since you agree, I'll take care of the rest."

Yang Jun pondered for a moment and made an arrangement. He decided to let Liu Xiaozhuang go to a district outside Beijing and start from the grassroots level. After all, the current living space has this rigid regulation that all cadres must have several levels of work experience. This is unavoidable.

Even if Yang Chengdao chooses to go into politics in the future, he will have to start from the grassroots. Of course, starting from the grassroots does not mean that he will have to suffer more. For example, there is room for maneuver in how long he works and what kind of work he does. Yang Jun will definitely not let his children suffer.

Yang Mei was overjoyed when she heard that Yang Jun had arranged for Liu Xiaozhuang to work in the suburbs.

"Thank you, brother."

"When Xiaozhuang becomes successful in the future, he will definitely not forget you."

Hearing this, Yang Jun smiled and said, "I never expected her to repay me. I can't even count on you, so how can I count on her?"

"Brother, what you said is not right. How have I ever been bad to you? I'm very obedient, okay..." Yangmei said coquettishly.

"Haha, come on." Yang Jun waved his hand.

"Even if it's just as you said, it's only right. You are my brother after all." Yang Mei said with a smile.

"Admit it?" Yang Jun raised his eyebrows.

"No, brother. If it weren't for your care over the years, I wouldn't be where I am today. To be honest, I am really grateful to you."

"Haha, I don't believe you."

"Big brother..."

The brother and sister joked around.

Then, Yang Jun said: "Xiao Zhuang's girlfriend is Zhang..." "Zhang Hao." Yang Mei reminded.

"Yes, has Zhang Hao's family made any arrangements for him?"

"I heard from Xiaozhuang that his family planned to arrange for him to work in the Finance Bureau. Later, when he heard that Xiaozhuang went to the State-owned Assets Bureau, he insisted on going with him." After a slight pause, Yangmei continued, "I had no choice but to arrange for them to work together."

Hearing this, Yang Jun said, "If you ask me... you shouldn't interfere in the Zhang family's affairs."

"Brother, we are a family now, right? There shouldn't be anything wrong with me doing this, right?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he rolled his eyes at her.

"I was thinking, if I hadn't protected you all these years, you would have sold your brain and helped others count the money."

"Brother, I admit that I have been blessed with so many years thanks to your care, but... I am not as bad as you say, right?" Yang Mei confessed.

"Don't deny it. Your political ability is just average. You have been in the officialdom for so many years, but you don't even understand this basic principle."

"I……"

Yang Mei was about to argue, but suddenly she looked up outside the glass room and said, "The third sister is here."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun looked back and found that Yang Liu was indeed walking towards him.

"Eldest brother, second sister."

Yang Liu started to greet people through the glass house.

Seeing this, Yang Jun sighed, then silently picked up the kettle and poured her a cup of tea.

"Third sister, why are you here?"

Yangmei asked as she took out a small stool from inside.

"I have something to ask my brother, what about you?"

Yang Liu took the tea handed to her by Yang Jun and drank it all in one gulp. This still did not quench her thirst, so she took a bottle of ice soda from the refrigerator and started drinking it.

"Don't be too greedy for the coolness, or you'll get a stomachache."

Yang Mei scolded him and said, "I asked my elder brother to arrange a job for Xiao Zhuang, but I didn't expect to run into you."

Yang Liu drank a few sips of iced soda and felt much cooler. She fanned herself with her hands and said, "I was just about to ask you about this. Which unit did Xiao Zhuang go to?"

The two sisters chatted endlessly and Yang Jun couldn't get a word in.

"I was originally arranged to work in my unit, but later my boss said it was not possible, so I was transferred to the suburban *** County and started from the bottom." Yang Mei said.

"Oh, second sister, you are so confused. How could you arrange Xiaozhuang into your unit? Although your unit has good treatment and much room for advancement, in the long run, eldest brother's arrangement is still the best." Yang Liu.

"Even you said that. It seems that there is something wrong with my previous arrangement." Yang Mei said angrily: "Fortunately I came to see my eldest brother, otherwise I would have delayed the child's care."

"People say your political ability is average, but you refused to admit it. Now Liu'er says so too. Do you believe it?" Yang Jun finally had the chance to interrupt.

"Oh, brother, I know I was wrong. Why are you still chasing me? It's annoying." After saying that, Yang Mei slapped Yang Jun lightly.

"You are wrong for more than that..." Yang Jun said: "Liu'er, you are here, tell me about your second sister's stupid brain..."

"Brother..." Yangmei tried to interrupt her.

"What mistake has Second Sister made again? How come she has such a stupid brain?" Yang Liu teased.

"She also arranged Zhang... Zhang Hao to work in the State-owned Assets Bureau." Yang Jun said unhappily.

"Oh, second sister, you are so confused. Xiaozhuang and the other two haven't gotten married yet. Why are you worrying about this?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Liu also felt that Yang Mei was doing something wrong. After a slight pause, she continued, "It's not a good idea to be the one who asks you for help. You can only help someone when they ask you for help. You are arranging a job for them and putting them together. Aren't you saying that your daughter must marry him?"

"Second sister, even though you have been in the officialdom for so many years, how come you don't even have this much awareness?"

"We have to let the Zhang family know that they are marrying up to our Yang family. We have to let them know that our Yang family is supporting him. Do you understand?"

"It's the Liu family, not our Yang family." Yang Jun reminded.

"Yes, your Liu family." Yang Liu said to Yang Mei, "Even if it's your Liu family, it's not comparable to the Zhang family. You have to let them know who is superior and who is inferior. In the future, when the young couple live together, Xiao Zhuang will have a say."

Yang Mei pouted after hearing this, but after Yang Liu's analysis, she also felt that this was wrong. Yang Liu was right. It was not a good deal to be the one who was asking for favors. The people of the Zhang family had to beg them to come to her. She had to let them know who was superior and who was inferior. Only in this way would Xiao Zhuang have a say in the Zhang family in the future.

"Yes, I admit that this matter... was a little ill-considered, but... what should I do now? I can't transfer him to another job."

"Since it's already been arranged, don't transfer him again." Yang Liu said, "Just let Zhang Hao work in your company. Besides, it's better for the young couple not to work in the same company. It would be fine if Zhang Hao does better than Xiao Zhuang in the future, but if Xiao Zhuang does better than him, where will Zhang Hao's face be?"

"Actually, if you ask me, Second Sister, you shouldn't have assigned Zhang Hao to your unit. If the mother-in-law controls her son-in-law, people will gossip about her."

"I didn't think this through." Yang Mei pondered for a moment and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll transfer him to a sister unit so that we don't have to see each other all the time. It's quite embarrassing."

Yang Jun: "Okay, stop moving around. Since it's already like this, let's just leave it like this."

"Yes, I'll listen to you, big brother." Yang Mei said to herself, "At worst, we can just do business as usual when we meet next time."

After hearing this, Yang Liu took her hand and said with a smile, "Second sister, why do I feel like you, the mother-in-law, are a little afraid of meeting your son-in-law?"

"Nonsense, would I be afraid of him?" Yang Mei glared and said, "Do you believe that I will make things difficult for him after he reports to the police station?"

"You are so grown up, why are you still acting like a child?"

"I am just a child after all, at least in front of my elder brother." Yang Mei.

Then, Yang Liu changed the subject and said to Yang Jun: "Brother, I am here because of the child. You have to do me a favor."

"What's the matter with you?"

After the incident involving Yang Mei, Yang Jun felt a little annoyed.

"Your eldest nephew is going to take the college entrance examination soon. I was wondering if you could get him a place at Yanda University."

Since Yang Liu divorced Lou Xiaolou, their two children changed their surnames to hers. Now, the two children have grown up and are both in high school.

Like most children from wealthy families, it is difficult for such a family to raise outstanding children. Yang Liu's two children are quite smart, but they are not good at studying. They are almost at the same level as Yang Chengdao, and have never passed the exams.

Now that the college entrance examination is over, Yang Liu is thinking about getting her child into a university. When she thinks of Yang Chengdao who is studying at Renmin University, Yang Liu thinks of Yang Jun.

After hearing this, Yang Jun held his forehead in silence.

"Liu'er, you are bothering me with such a small matter. Are you afraid that your elder brother will live longer?"

"Brother, you are very familiar with this place. I was just thinking about what you said, haha." Yang Liu.

Yang Mei interrupted and said, "Okay, Third Sister, don't bother Big Brother with such a small matter. I'll handle it for you."

"Thank you, second sister." (End of this chapter)
