Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 525 I Just Want to Understand
"Why else? Why else would Qiangzi help Yu Li? Don't tell me Qiangzi has nothing to do and came here to show his kindness?"

Yan Bugui glanced at Yan Jiecheng, then spoke with a somewhat tired look.

In fact, when Yu Li moved to Xiangmi Zhai to stay, he had some doubts about whether Yu Li and Li Guoqiang were having an affair. However, due to the age gap between Yu Li and Li Guoqiang, and the fact that he had Luo Huijuan as his legal wife, he was not sure.

However, now that Li Guoqiang came to plead for Yu Li, he was basically certain that Yu Li and Li Guoqiang must have some unspeakable secret.

This made him feel very annoyed, but also helpless.

After all, Yan Jiecheng's house is still in the hands of Li Guoqiang. Coupled with Li Guoqiang's very strong backing, it can be said that he has no way to deal with Li Guoqiang. Instead, he has to be careful not to offend Li Guoqiang, so as to avoid being suppressed and calculated by Li Guoqiang.

"I'll go find him!"

When Yan Jiecheng heard Yan Bugui's words, his face turned pale and blue in an instant, then he stood up suddenly and shouted angrily.

In fact, it is no wonder that he is so angry. After all, he has not divorced Yu Li yet. It is equivalent to saying that Li Guoqiang has planted a large green grassland for him. No matter which man it is, he will find it unacceptable.

In addition, there was Yu Li's betrayal of him.

Although he owed a huge amount of foreign debt because of his gambling, when he honestly asked himself, he felt that he had done nothing wrong to Yu Li, and at most he had treated her a little unfairly.

But Yu Li just treated him like a fool, which was a huge shame.

If he can't get rid of this anger, how can he have the face to stay in the courtyard in the future?

Just as he was about to reach the door, he suddenly heard a shout in his ears.

"Stop!"

He paused, then looked back, only to see Yan Bugui staring at him with smoldering eyes, which made his heart tighten slightly and his momentum weaken.

Upon seeing this, Yan Bugui immediately pointed his finger at Yan Jiecheng's nose and cursed him with a look of disappointment: "What on earth are you thinking about? Do you think you can get justice if you go to him now?

If someone tells you that you're playing around with money and you're arrested, your life will be over for the rest of your life!"

After saying that, he gave the three aunts a look.

When the third aunt saw it, she immediately understood what Yan Bugui meant, and hurriedly walked forward to pull the dazed Yan Jiecheng back.

When she pressed Yan Jiecheng down on the chair, Yan Bugui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, the main reason why he was so anxious just now was because he was worried that Yan Jiecheng would have Li Guoqiang send him to the small dark room, causing the several thousand dollars he lent to Yan Jiecheng to be wasted.

Otherwise, he would not have explained the situation to Yan Jiecheng at the first time, with the purpose of making Yan Jiecheng swallow his anger.

Soon, Yan Jiecheng came to his senses, then clenched his fists with an unpleasant look on his face, his heart full of resentment.

If he had known this would happen, he would never agree to divorce Yu Li. At least he would have to find evidence and get compensation from Li Guoqiang.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. He has already promised Yu Li. If he dares to go back on his word, Li Guoqiang might find someone to arrest him and put him in a dark room in no time.

At that time, no matter how unwilling he was, there was no way to stop Yu Li and Li Guoqiang from enjoying life together.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt frustrated and his clenched fists slowly loosened.

"Jie Cheng! It's not that Dad doesn't want to help you, it's just that this matter is difficult to handle!"

When Yan Bugui saw the change in Yan Jiecheng's expression, he hurriedly began to persuade him in a serious tone.

As he spoke, he saw Yan Jiecheng showing a puzzled look, and he quickly continued to explain: "You have to know that Yu Li asked you for a divorce, it is not something that happened in the past one or two days. Even if you knew that she was with Qiangzi, you can't blame her, let alone blame Qiangzi.

Moreover, as the saying goes, as long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

The most important thing for you now is to divorce her quickly, then work hard to make money. When you have paid off all your debts, I will help you find a good wife again, understand?"

You know nothing!
After hearing what Yan Bugui said, Yan Jiecheng almost couldn't help rolling his eyes.

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. In fact, the same is true in reverse. As Yan Bugui's eldest son, he knows Yan Bugui's temperament very well.

It can be said that Yan Bugui only needed to start the conversation and he would be able to understand Yan Bugui's plan.

Just like now, as soon as Yan Bugui said that, he knew that the reason why Yan Bugui took so much trouble to persuade him was mainly because he was worried that he would not be able to pay off his previous debts after being arrested.

This made him feel a chill in his heart, and he even had the urge to risk it all.

Anyway, with his monthly salary of thirty or forty yuan, it would take him at least seven or eight years to pay off his debts. Add in the usual food expenses, and it would take him more than ten or twenty years.

By that time, he will be almost fifty years old, and there will be no point in him getting married!

However, having said that, he still couldn't make up his mind.

After all, if he was really arrested, not only would he not be able to get married when he was fifty, he would have to be thankful that he was not turned into a rabbit god.

Even if Li Guoqiang was more ruthless, he could make something unexpected happen to him.

Therefore, rather than dying young, he still wants to live a few more years in this world.

Even if there is a green grassland
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Think about it carefully and see if this is the truth. Don't do anything stupid."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's mood gradually becoming depressed, Yan Bugui felt relieved, then walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke to him in a serious tone.

After saying that, he took the three aunts into the inner room, leaving space for Yan Jiecheng to calm down alone.

"Hey, dad, aren't those words you just said too hurtful? What if he loses his temper and does something stupid? What should we do then?"

After entering the inner room, the third aunt first looked back at Yan Jiecheng's increasingly gloomy figure, and then asked with a worried look on her face.

"fine!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui waved his hand in disapproval and said, "You gave birth to your own child, how could you not know about it? If he really had the courage, he wouldn't have only been a second-level worker in all these years.

On the contrary, if these things are not explained to him clearly, then it might lead to bad things!"

At this point, his mind couldn't help but emerge with the scene of the two big guys, Chen Wen'an and Song Guochang, coming over to attend the Li family's wedding, and a hint of fear appeared on his face.

You know, he is not one of those young people who knows nothing.

As a teacher who came from the old society to the new China, he understood very well how much power senior officials like Chen Wen'an and Song Guochang could have.

It is no exaggeration to say that they can destroy his family with just a few words.

Therefore, if he had not reached a point where he had no other options, he would not have been willing to confront Li Guoqiang directly. Moreover, Yan Jieben was not a decent person to begin with!
Thinking of this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but sigh, and then thought to himself that he must keep a close eye on Yan Jiecheng during the next period of time.

Even if it wasn't for the few thousand dollars he lent to Yan Jiecheng, it was for the future peace of their family.

Although Auntie Three was not very clear about this, she knew that Li Guoqiang was not someone that could be easily messed with.

Moreover, just as Yan Bugui said, she knew her own child well enough to say that, to put it bluntly, the child was both lazy and weak.

The only bit of intelligence he had was all put into calculations.

In the end, it turned out that my house was robbed.

As she was thinking, the third aunt suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "His father, do you think Qiangzi seduced Yu Li away because of the incident with us fighting for the house?"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Logically speaking, given Li Guoqiang's current status, there is no need for him to bother with their family about such a small matter.

However, people's hearts are hidden, and he is not Li Guoqiang, so naturally he has no way of knowing what Li Guoqiang is thinking.

If Li Guoqiang really took Yu Li away because of the house robbery incident, what else can their family do except swallow their anger?

In the blink of an eye, it was soon the next morning.

After a night of buffering and psychological preparation, Yan Jiecheng got up early, rushed to the factory to get a divorce certificate, and then ran to the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau to wait.

Not long after, Yu Li also came with the issued certificate.

Then, without saying anything, the couple walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau and went through the divorce procedures.

The moment they each received their divorce certificates, a look of relief appeared on their faces.

Among them, for Yu Li, it was a real relief.

But for Yan Jiecheng, although he felt relieved, he still felt a little unwilling and resentful.

Therefore, when Yu Li handed him the agreed 100 yuan, he tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help asking, "What's going on between you and Qiangzi?"

"What do you mean?"

Yu Li was slightly stunned when she heard this, then asked in some doubt.

"Don't worry, we're divorced now. Even if you follow him, I have no right to say anything. I just want to make things clear!"

When Yan Jiecheng saw Yu Li's reaction, his heart sank, and then he spoke with some bitterness.

After saying this, he stared at Yu Li, hoping that Yu Li could give him a definite answer.

Although he knew that the answer would only make him more miserable, he just couldn't help wanting to know.

"Whatever you think! I have something else to do so I'll leave first. I hope you can marry a better wife in the future."

Yu Li was silent for a while, then spoke with a blank expression.

After saying this, before Yan Jiecheng could react, she turned around and left in a hurry.

After listening to this, Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment, then he thought about it carefully and quickly figured out Yu Li's subtext. He instantly felt aggrieved and painful in his heart.

When he came to his senses and wanted to ask Yu Li why she did this, he found that Yu Li had already walked away.

This left him with no place to vent his resentment, and he could only kick a big tree by the roadside wildly until he was exhausted and sweating. Then he sat down under the tree, staring blankly at the Civil Affairs Bureau opposite.

At this moment, his mind kept emerging with every detail of his time with Yu Li, from their marriage to their divorce, from the sweetness in the beginning to the mutual dislike later on.

But even so, as long as the two of them can be more tolerant of each other, they can continue to live their lives.

It was a pity that he lost too much money because of his greed, and he refused to change his ways despite repeated warnings, which destroyed the little love they had as husband and wife.

In addition, Yu Li has Li Guoqiang as her backer, so she has no worries about what will happen after the divorce, so the only result waiting for her is divorce.

After realizing this, a trace of deep regret suddenly emerged in his originally lifeless eyes. Then he stood up abruptly, clutching the hundred dollars, and rushed towards the underground gambling house.

However, before he could go far, he was grabbed by someone.

When he turned around, his face suddenly became very ugly, and then he hurriedly hid his right hand holding the money behind his back.

"Where are you going? And what do you have in your hand?"

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng's slightly red eyes, frowned, and then asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng's lips moved slightly, and then he pursed his lips silently.

When Yan Bugui saw this situation, he didn't waste any time and directly tried to pry Yan Jiecheng's right hand.

After some tug of war, he soon found the hundred yuan, and then instantly understood what Yan Jiecheng wanted to do.

"Where did all this money come from? Are you planning to play with it again?"

"Dad, just let me try!"

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly began to plead.

Because he knew that apart from gambling, he had no other way to pay off his debts quickly.

"Give me the money right now!"

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng's humble appearance and was not moved at all. He directly urged him in a cold voice.

"I"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Yan Bugui seized the opportunity and snatched the money from his hand.

This made him instantly want to beat Yan Bugui up.

But Yan Bugui did not look at Yan Jiecheng at this time. He just dipped his index finger with saliva and counted the money one by one with a happy look.
