The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

These words prompted Yang Ruihua, who was standing to the side, to nod in agreement. The hatred in his eyes for Cao Wei was no less than that for Yan Jiegui.

On the contrary, the three Yan brothers were rather indifferent.

There was nothing they could do; in their eyes, their fathers were clearly so rich, yet they still made them live this kind of life.

If he can't even enjoy his own wealth, then what does it have to do with them if he suffers?

Yan Jiegui, seeing the three brothers who did not react, was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at them.

"Did you all remember that?"

"I've got it."

The three brothers' sparse and listless responses only made Yan Jiegui angrier.

Then, take another deep breath.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Jiegui spoke to Yang Ruihua, who was standing to the side.

"Make sure there's enough cornbread for today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ruihua, who was standing to the side, looked on in disbelief.

After realizing what was happening, he couldn't help but urge them on anxiously.

"Old Yan, we're going to lose money again, and you're still eating and drinking like this?"

The three brothers, however, seemed to have a glimmer of hope on their faces.

Looking at Yan Jiegui, it was as if he were getting to know his own father all over again.

A glimmer of hope crept in.

Could it be that their father felt that the harsh life they had endured with the barbaric money was too stifling, and today he was letting them indulge themselves?

After all, you have to understand that since the money was stolen, even a whole steamed bun a day has been reduced to half a steamed bun, and the pickled vegetable shreds have been reduced to two strands per person.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yan Jiegui took a deep breath and said in a firm tone.

"Our money has been stolen. Starting tomorrow, we'll have one bowl of cornmeal porridge a day and one sweet potato for each of us for every meal."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three brothers looked up with disbelief in their eyes.

You have to understand that right now, even the most struggling families in the compound can only afford to eat a sweet potato for breakfast.

But cornmeal porridge, at least, is enough to fill you up.

As a result, their family's standard of living has now dropped to a level worse than the most impoverished family?

Now Yang Ruihua understood why he wanted to let them have their way with the steamed buns today.

Is this the last good meal we'll ever have?

However, considering her own situation, Yang Ruihua didn't say anything and quietly returned to the kitchen.

Yan Jiecheng, who was the first to react, couldn't help but raise a protest.

"Dad, I pay for the family's food every month, why am I only getting one bowl of cornmeal porridge a day now?!"

"Then I might as well not pay for food at all."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiegui immediately became anxious. Under normal circumstances, he would never give up this food allowance, since he could squeeze a considerable amount out of it, not to mention that his savings had been stolen.

"That's just because all our money was stolen. It's only temporary. Besides, you'll need money to get married in the future. If you don't save money now, how will you get married?"

This sentence perfectly struck at Yan Jiecheng's Achilles' heel.

All we could do was let him sit there silently.

Yan Jiecheng, who was the only one who could pay for the food, stopped speaking up, and the remaining two brothers naturally had no say in the matter.

It wasn't until Yang Ruihua brought a large bowl of steamed corn to the table that the meal was served.

Faced with the still-soft cornbread, the group didn't even have the strength to speak, and frantically scrambled for it.

Even the youngest, Yan Jiekuang, still had something stuffed in his mouth, but he was still holding it in his hand. Despite the heat, he was unwilling to let go, as if he knew that the days to come would be even more difficult than now.

On the other side, Liu Haizhong returned home.

Having suffered a humiliating defeat, he turned his gaze back to the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

After that, the familiar, heart-wrenching symphony began to resound from the Liu family home.

After Liu Haizhong got tired of fighting, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, who were in the corner, looked at each other.

He had only one thought in his mind: if he could carry a sandbag, he had to leave the Liu family.

Otherwise, he might actually be beaten to death one day.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, his face was extremely gloomy.

"That damned little beast!"

He cursed as he spoke, but in his heart he missed the old Sha Zhu even more.

As for his experience of being beaten, he simply attributed it to Cao Wei's instigation.

Thinking about his humiliation today, he became angrier and angrier.

Just as I was about to leave, I found that the Jia family mother and son had arrived at my door.

This immediately gave Li Mei, who was standing next to her, a bad feeling.

There's nothing we can do; every time this mother and son come to our door together, nothing good ever comes of it.

Yi Zhonghai's expression wasn't very good either, but he still invited the Jia family mother and son inside.

After hesitating for a long time, Jia Dongxu finally spoke.

"Master, I've lost my father, and I'm at the age where I should be looking for a wife, so I can only trouble you for now."

Under normal circumstances, Yi Zhonghai would naturally welcome it very much, and might even be thinking about finding someone for Jia Dongxu who would listen to him.

Only in this way can you ensure that the other person will be absolutely filial to you in the future.

However, right now, Yi Zhonghai, who is already penniless, has also incurred a debt of 500,000 yuan.

On top of that, he received an advance on his salary, and upon hearing this, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.

He then looked at Jia Dongxu, frowned, and began to lecture him: "Dongxu, if it were before, I might have been able to help you look for it, but now, we still owe that little bastard money."

In response, Jia Dongxu simply kept his head down.

That's right. To be precise, this trip was again instigated by his good mother, Jia Zhangshi.

Upon returning home, Jia Zhangshi first summoned her husband, Jia, and then spent a long time berating Cao Wei.

Afterwards, he seemed to realize something: his son was getting older and it was time to find him a wife.

A few days ago, the other party mentioned that Cao Wei had emptied his retirement savings, and the money in his house had also been stolen. He was barely surviving by receiving an advance on his salary.

As a result, Jia Dongxu brought it up again during the meal.

Even a wealthy woman like Jia Zhangshi might not be willing to help her son with his marriage at this time.

After all, this means spending a lot of money.

Doesn't my son still have the son of Yi Zhonghai, a cheap but destitute master, to rely on?

That's why Jia Zhangshi chose to go to their home, but she overlooked one thing.

This guy, Yi Zhonghai, also had his savings emptied and was burdened with foreign debt.

Under such circumstances, Jia Dongxu was practically scolded like a grandson.

Madam Jia frowned slightly and spoke with a hint of displeasure.

"Old Yi, Dongxu is already so old, it's not good for him to stay unmarried."

"I'll keep an eye out for you, but at least your family needs to pay off that debt first, right?"

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai could only give a vague promise.

In response, Jia Zhangshi thought of Cao Wei and launched into another tirade of abuse.

"It's all that damned little bastard's fault. Otherwise, Dongxu would have been married long ago, Lao Jia..."

As she spoke, Madam Jia Zhang seemed to be preparing to summon Old Jia again.

At the same time, Jia Dongxu looked up again and saw his master's unpleasant expression before quickly pulling his mother away.

On the way back, Jia Dongxu, this mama's boy, couldn't help but complain to his mother, Jia Zhangshi, once again.

"Mom, I already told you to help me find a wife sooner, but now my master's money has all been stolen, what are we going to do..."
