Siheyuan: Domineering life

This morning.

Several black sedans were parked on the tarmac at Beijing Capital International Airport.

With a roar, an international flight slowly taxied and then came to a stop. A moment later, the cabin door opened, and a burly figure stepped out.

The man stood at the cabin door and looked around. He immediately spotted several familiar figures below the plane.

"mom."

The man shouted and then sprinted down the steps. When he was still more than a dozen steps from the ground, he leaped down and landed steadily on the ground.

"Little Fruit, boohoo."

Yan Erni ran towards her son, crying, and hugged him with open arms.

"Mom, Mom, I miss you."

Sun Xiaoguo, a grown man, was crying like a child, tears streaming down his face.

"Xiao Guo, Mom misses you too. Mom thinks about you every day, boohoo."

Seeing that her other son was safe and sound, Yan Erni wept with joy.

Standing beside them were Sun Xiaopeng, Sun Xiaoma, and Sun Zhaocai, with Yang Chengdao also present.

Today is the day Sun Xiaoguo is going home, and Yang Chengdao and the entire Sun family have come to the airport to pick him up.

Previously, in order to take the blame for Yang Chengdao, Sun Xiaoguo had no choice but to flee to another place to hide. Now, two years later, he has returned to this familiar land and is filled with emotion.

Two years later, he was more mature than before. He had a courage and perseverance that his peers lacked. What was even more amazing was that he had grown bigger and stronger than his father, which was unbelievable.

"Big brother."

"Big brother."

Sun Xiaopeng and Sun Xiaoma were overjoyed to see their older brother and hugged each other tightly.

"Second brother, third brother."

Sun Xiaoguo hugged his two younger brothers, looked at each other, and gave each other encouraging glances.

After the three brothers separated, Sun Xiaoguo glanced at his father, Sun Zhaocai, who was standing to the side, and let out a cold snort.

He had heard about Sun Zhaocai's domestic violence against his mother while he was far away on the orphanage. If he hadn't had no other choice, he would have come back long ago to beat up that bastard. However, this was an airport, with people coming and going, so he couldn't very well hit his own father.

"Xiao Guo... is back?"

Sun Zhaocai glanced at his son with some trepidation and stammered a greeting.

He would never have done this before, but things are different now. He has completely realized his mistake and will never commit domestic violence again. Besides, Sun Xiaoguo is stronger than him, so he is even less likely to lay a hand on her.

"Ah."

Sun Xiaoguo didn't embarrass him too much, responding with a nasal tone as a greeting.

"Attaining enlightenment."

To defuse the awkward situation, Sun Zhaocai immediately smiled and walked towards Yang Chengdao.

"Little fruit."

Yang Chengdao opened his arms to welcome him.

The two embraced tightly, patting each other's shoulders forcefully, and only separated after a long time.

"Brother, you've suffered." Yang Chengdao looked at him with a guilty expression.

If Sun Xiaoguo hadn't taken the blame for him two years ago, he wouldn't have been unable to go home for two years. He felt guilty about this.

"Brother, please don't say that. This is what I should do."

Sun Xiaoguo patted his chest and said, "Besides, how do I look like I'm suffering at all?"

Looking at Sun Xiaoguo, who was as big as a calf, Yang Chengdao punched him twice in the chest.

"You've definitely gotten stronger than before. I reckon no one can beat you now."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoguo laughed and said, "You were no match for me before, and you're even less so now."

"Bullshit! You were clearly no match for me before, so stop spreading rumors." Yang Chengdao laughed and scolded.

"There's no point in saying more, just try it out and you'll know."

Sun Xiaoguo took two steps back and immediately adopted a fighting stance.

"Let's practice, who's afraid of who?"

Not to be outdone, Yang Chengdao got into a fighting stance, ready to put on a show.

At this moment, Yan Erni laughed and said, "Alright, alright, you two uncle and nephew always start bickering as soon as you meet. You're both grown up."

"We're in a good mood today, so let's not do anything?"

The two of them chuckled upon hearing this.

"For your sister-in-law's sake, I won't teach you a lesson today," Yang Cheng said.

Sun Xiaoguo chuckled upon hearing this.

Although they are uncle and nephew, they are as close as brothers. They not only grew up together, but also attended the same class from elementary school to university. Their relationship is very close, even closer than that of Sun Xiaopeng and Sun Xiaoma.

"Come on, let me treat you to a welcome feast."

Yang Chengdao put his arm around his shoulder.

Then, a group of cars left the airport.

Half an hour later, the car slowly came to a stop at the entrance of Pengyuan.

Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui were already waiting there.

"Grandpa Yang. Grandma Yi."

Seeing Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui personally greeting him, Sun Xiaoguo rushed over to Yang Jun.

"Grandpa Yang, Grandma Yi, how could I trouble you two to come and greet me personally? I am a junior, and you two are doing me a disservice." Sun Xiaoguo said.

Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui exchanged a smile after hearing this.

"Yes, he's definitely more sensible than before," Yang Jun nodded.

“Yes, it’s been two years, and Xiao Guo has matured a lot.” Yi Qiushui said.

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoguo blushed deeply and stood there smiling sheepishly.

"The outside world is truly a test of character. Xiao Guo is indeed more mature and composed than before."

Yang Jun patted Sun Xiaoguo on the shoulder and nodded, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoguo immediately stood at attention and said, "Please rest assured, Grandpa Yang, I can start working anytime."

"Hey, no rush, let's come back and rest for a while first."

"Grandpa Yang, I don't need to rest. I can start working tomorrow... no, I can start right now."

"Okay, okay, I understand your good intentions. There's really no need to rush into work. You've finally come back, so stay home and spend time with your parents, brother, and sister. It's not too late to start working in a few days."

Seeing that Yang Jun had already said so, Sun Xiaoguo had no choice but to give up.

"Yes, I'll do whatever Grandpa Yang says."

At this moment, Yang Chengdao put his arm around his shoulder from behind and said, "Come on, the banquet has been prepared for you to welcome us back."

As he spoke, he started to walk home.

Just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Yi Qiushui.

Yi Qiushui glared at her son angrily, then said, "Xiao Guo just got back and hasn't had a chance to say a word to his parents yet."

"Let him go back and reunite with his family today, and we'll hold a banquet for him another day to welcome him back."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengdao slapped his forehead in frustration and exclaimed, "Oh dear, how could I have forgotten about this?"

After saying that, he turned to Sun Xiaoguo and said, "Xiaoguo, I'm sorry, you should reunite with your family today. I'll treat you to a welcome dinner another day."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoguo glanced back at his mother, Yan Erni, and his heart softened at the sight of her pleading eyes.

"Alright, Uncle Chengdao, I'll go home now and we'll have a drink together tomorrow."

"Okay, it's settled then. We'll have a drink together tomorrow." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sun Xiaoguo and her family went to Jiuyuan across the street.

After that family left, Yang Jun and his family of three also prepared to go home.

"Chengdao, aren't you going home?"

Just as Yang Jun was about to go back, he saw his son open the car door.

Hearing Yang Jun call his name, Yang Chengdao smiled sheepishly.

"Well, Dad... I have some things to do at the company, so I won't go in."

Yang Jun was speechless upon hearing this.

It's obvious he doesn't want to be with him. If Sun Xiaoguo hadn't gone home to be with her family, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to go back right now.

“Chengdao, you haven’t been home for dinner for several days. There’s no rush with work. The food is ready at home. Why don’t you have a couple of drinks with your dad before you leave?” Yi Qiushui said.

"Let him go."

Yang Jun interrupted.

After saying that, he went into the house without looking back.

Watching Yang Jun's angry departure, Yang Chengdao shrugged, spread his hands, and looked helpless.

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to go back, but look at his attitude, how can I dare to have dinner with him?"

"Isn't that your fault?" Yi Qiushui looked at him angrily.

"Okay, okay, Mom, I really have something to do at the company, so I won't go in."

After saying that, he got into the car and left.

Watching the car drive away, Yi Qiushui sighed deeply.

"A son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up."

She has now handed over almost all of her business to Yang Chengdao and his wife, and is basically in a state of retirement. There is nothing for her to worry about now. Her son doesn't have time to eat or talk with her anymore, so she always feels empty inside.

After returning home, Yang Jun went straight to the fishing platform by the river.

He didn't take his son's words to heart, not because he was magnanimous, but because he had already foreseen this day.

Having lived two lives and nearly a hundred years, he had long seen through everything. Separation was the norm in life, and reunion was the exception. Especially now that his children had grown up and started their own families, they couldn't be by his side every day like before. Moreover, his son bore the heavy responsibility of reviving the Yang family, so he had to prioritize his work.

Now, the family business has been in his son's hands for almost a year, and he has almost complete control over the entire family business. Yang Jun plans to let him enter the officialdom after a while, and then pave the way for him.

Taking over the family business was just a way for him to get some experience and pave the way for his future career. Yang Chengdao was his successor, someone he had carefully groomed, so he had high hopes for this son.

"Lao Yang."

The glass room door opened, and Yi Qiushui walked in.

Yang Jun turned around and glanced at her, only to see her looking like she was sighing.

"Even your son didn't give you face?"

Upon seeing this, Yang Jun knew what was going on.

"Alas, a son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up," Yi Qiushui sighed.

"Hehe, isn't this what I expected? Why are you still sighing?" Yang Jun said.

"Although I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't accept it when the day actually came."

After a slight pause, Yi Qiushui continued, "I thought he would ask me for business advice, but I didn't expect that this kid doesn't need me at all. I was so happy..."

"Well, never mind."

After saying that, he sat there dejectedly.

Seeing this, Yang Jun smiled slightly and then lit a cigarette.

"So you need to adapt to this situation as quickly as possible."

Yang Jun didn't know how to comfort her, so he just expressed his own feelings.

"Sigh, if I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have handed over the family business to him so early. Even if I had, I shouldn't have handed it all over," Yi Qiushui sighed.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun laughed and said, "The fledgling has grown into an eagle. Sooner or later it will fly away. You can't keep it caged."

Yi Qiushui: "I never intended to shut him up, it was just... something I felt compelled to say."

After saying that, he suddenly raised his voice eight octaves and said, "Let's not talk about our son anymore, let's talk about yours."

"my business?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean, 'what's wrong with me'?"

Seeing Yi Qiushui's tone, Yang Jun subconsciously reflected on himself and realized that he had no leverage over her, which put him at ease.

"I heard that you and Lao Wang are planning to go to Lao Mu's villa for a few days?" Yi Qiushui looked at him with an unfriendly gaze.

Yang Jun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"Well, what happened?"

"What's wrong?" Yi Qiushui suddenly moved closer to Yang Jun, her tone unfriendly. "What are you planning to do?"

"Sightseeing and enjoying the scenery? Or...playing with women?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Yang Jun retorted instinctively.

"do not you?"

Yang Jun: "..."

Yang Jun wanted to refute, but he was speechless.

He was indeed that kind of person. He had planned to go to Lao Mu Manor for fun, but he didn't expect Yi Qiushui to see through him.

"Don't think I don't know, Jingqiu is the one you brought back from Lao Mu Manor."

Yi Qiushui stared at him intently and said, "Are you going to bring back another woman this time?"

Yang Jun felt a little guilty after hearing this.

He knew he couldn't keep this from Yi Qiushui, but he didn't expect her to find out so quickly.

"me……"

Yang Jun stammered and couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

"Old Yang, let me tell you, you absolutely must not bring any more women home."

"Why?" Yang Jun asked instinctively.

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiushui was about to pinch the sore spot on his waist, but fortunately he was prepared and dodged it.

"Why else? Don't you know the answer yourself?"

“You don’t even look at how many children you have, yet you still bring women home. How are you going to let the children see you as their father?”

“Chengdao and Chengcai are already married and have children. Chengzhi will also be getting married in two years. Even if you don’t think about me, you should think about the children, right?”

Yang Jun felt a headache after hearing this.

To be honest, he's having a headache about this too.

But what could he do? He was immortal, and with this vigorous body, he couldn't live a day without women. The women in his family were getting older, and the younger ones all had children to take care of, so they couldn't serve him wholeheartedly, which made him feel restless.

"Then... it's fine if we don't look for it."

After a slight pause, Yang Jun cautiously asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiushui was furious.

He took a deep breath and said, "I can do it."

Seeing Yang Jun's mocking expression, she quickly said, "Even if I'm not good enough, don't I have several younger sisters at home?"

"Anyway, I won't allow you to bring any more women home."

Yang Jun laughed when he heard this.

"Okay, whatever you say." (End of Chapter)
