The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

Chapter 91 Internal Strife within the Yan Family, Household Matters

Apart from Yang Ruihua nodding in agreement.

The three brothers acted as if they hadn't seen anything until Yan Bugui turned around.

He wasn't stupid after all; he knew what he could do in the current situation.

Go find Cao Wei?

So there's a high probability that I'll still get slapped in the face.

As for why Yan Bugui dared to spread rumors and disgust Cao Wei.

First, he made his wife, Yang Ruihua, tell only part of the truth, leaving the rest of the story to the imagination of others, which he considered to be the truth.

Secondly, regarding the rumors and gossip, after failing to become the manager of the courtyard house, he simply stopped caring about them.

Since he had already been publicly ridiculed once, and he was already married, Cao Wei, who was unmarried, would only be more affected than him under these circumstances.

In his view, the worst outcome would be that the enemy would suffer a thousand casualties while he himself would suffer eight hundred.

However, he never expected that these rumors would actually affect his work.

This effectively turned him from a teacher into a librarian, resulting in a monthly salary reduction of 70,000 yuan.

After taking a deep breath, Yan Bugui realized that he couldn't retaliate right now, but his salary had been reduced by a lot.

Then it can only be found in one place.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and announced the future rules for the Yan family.

"From now on, our family will limit sweet potatoes to two per person per meal! We can only have pickled vegetables on weekends."

Almost the instant the words were spoken, the three brothers were stunned.

Because in their view, the food they were eating was already among the worst in the neighborhood, and it couldn't be any worse, right?

As a result, Yan Bugui said today that he would reduce the already meager meal allowance even further.

You know, just one bowl of cornmeal porridge a day, with some sweet potato.

To avoid going hungry, the three brothers could only eat as many sweet potatoes as possible. Under these circumstances, they were farting constantly, and their dignity was almost completely ruined.

Some people even nicknamed them "Fart Kings".

This is precisely the result of eating sweet potatoes every day.

As a result, even sweet potatoes are now being rationed.

Just thinking about it, Yan Jiecheng immediately jumped out to object.

"Dad, you said it's because Mom is pregnant again, and the whole family has to get through this together. I could tolerate eating sweet potatoes, but now they're even rationing them. What am I going to do in the future?"

Yan Bugui, however, expressed some disagreement.

"Didn't you guys say that eating too many sweet potatoes makes you fart more? Perfect, now I won't have to, and besides, I'm on the same meal allowance anyway, right?"

"How can that be the same? Is the work I'm going to do the same thing as the work you're going to do, Dad?"

It's worth noting that most of the odd jobs Yan Jiecheng did after failing the junior high school entrance exam were manual labor.

Eating sweet potatoes all day long made his work efficiency lower than others.

If sweet potatoes are further rationed now, he doesn't know if he'll still be able to do those physical jobs, and there's even a possibility that an accident might happen at that time.

Therefore, for his own safety, Yan Jiecheng emphasized it directly.

"I don't care. The work I do is hard labor. If you limit my allowance, then I won't pay for this job. You can tell everyone. Anyway, the work I do is so tiring. What if something happens to me while I'm working and I'm only eating this little bit of food?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui thought, "How can they not pay household expenses? Their salary has already been reduced, and they're still calculating how much they're paying now, even thinking about increasing it."

The other party isn't paying now? What's the point of playing this game then?

So he immediately shouted.

"You dare!"

"What do I have to be afraid of? You can tell everyone, but I just don't believe that no one in this compound can stand up for justice."

Yan Jiecheng didn't want to follow in the footsteps of someone who died young, so he was very careful about this matter.

They chose to stand their ground.

This really infuriated Yan Bugui, but he also knew very well that if people really told others about it, it would be even more embarrassing for him to keep quiet.

More importantly, there may not be many people who will actually support him.

In this situation, a brief moment of hesitation appeared in Yan Bugui's eyes, and as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, then your sweet potatoes will be unlimited from now on, but you'll have to pay an extra 20,000 yuan per month for household expenses, since our family isn't doing well."

Since we can't use the meal allowance as a discount, we might as well charge a little more.

These words infuriated Yan Jiecheng. He couldn't find odd jobs every day, and his monthly income was only around 120,000 to 130,000 yuan.

Previously, I was already paying around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a month, and now I'm adding another 20,000 yuan.

He was almost out of his salary, but when he tried to argue back...

This time, Yan Bugui did not make any concessions.

"Our wages have been reduced again, and there's no room for negotiation on this matter."

Seeing Yan Bugui's resolute expression, Yan Jiecheng knew that it was unlikely he could bargain with the other party on this matter. So he sighed and could only accept the fact.

On the other hand, the two Yan brothers, who were children, were in a terrible situation.

Yan Jiefang was the first to step forward.

"Dad, I'm still growing, and isn't our family motto about pursuing fairness? Why should my brother be treated differently?"

"Your brother goes out to find work every day, mostly manual labor. It's true that he's prone to accidents if he doesn't eat enough. But you guys go to school like me, it doesn't take much effort, so why eat so much?"

Yang Ruihua also chimed in at this moment, and no matter how much the Yan brothers objected, it was ultimately to no avail. After all, the two were still just children, but this made them determined to escape from this home in the future.

This matter can be considered closed now.

Having suffered such a great loss, Yan Bugui has been dreaming about how to take legitimate revenge on Cao Wei.

On the other side, when Cao Wei received the latest news, he couldn't help but sneer.

"I was indeed too kind."

To be precise, aside from beating people and extorting money, Cao Wei was also focused on his own life after that, and for a while he wasn't as ruthless in dealing with these beasts.

This time, Yan Bugui served as a renewed deterrent to these beasts.

However, most of the beasts did not investigate or think about the source of this so-called rumor, because this rumor was something they had all been complaining about, and everyone had even talked about it before. It was possible that someone had let it slip or something.

However, apart from the Yan family themselves, the Yi and Liu families also guessed that this was most likely Cao Wei's doing.

Of course, Liu Haizhong didn't have that kind of brain. It was Liu Guangqi who brought up this speculation, since Yi Zhonghai had immediately faced retaliation after his last rumor-mongering, and those retaliations were all directed at Cao Wei.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong nodded, then, as if remembering something, gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Then let this little beast continue to be arrogant. Those were clearly the positions that used to belong to me!"
