Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 298 The Bereaved Dog

After getting the definite answer, the three siblings of the Yan family were very angry. These were their things, but Yan Fugui sold them without saying a word, not taking them seriously at all. However, the three of them changed their minds and realized that this was a member of their Yan family, so they understood a lot more.

"Dad, you have a good plan. You say you will sell our wood? What should we do now? What shall we use to build the house?" Yan Jiefang said angrily.

"You, try to overcome the difficulty and look around to see if there is any wood somewhere else." Yan Fugui said with a smile.

"Dad, did you not sleep well last night due to the earthquake? What are you thinking about? Hurry up and give them the money, we need to demolish it."

Without waiting for Yan Fugui to reply, Liangzi angrily said, "How dare you? We bought them, and it's not up to you to get them. If you want them back, it's 100 yuan each."

"Yes, we bought them. If anyone wants to take them apart, pay us. One hundred yuan for each. Otherwise, don't blame us for being hostile."

……

"Well, Jiefang, look, no one is willing, so why not just forget it!" Yan Fugui continued.

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Yan Jiefang knew that it was impossible to get back the wood he had sold, so he could only say, "Dad, you are so ruthless. Let us suffer a loss in silence. Give it to us!"

As he spoke, Yan Jiefang extended his hand in front of Yan Fugui, and his meaning could not be more obvious.

Seeing Yan Jiefang's outstretched hand, Yan Fugui pretended to be confused and said, "What do you want? Didn't you sell the wood?"

"Haha," Yan Jiefang said contemptuously, "Dad, stop pretending. Don't feel ashamed. Give us the money from selling the wood! Hurry up, or don't blame us for falling out."

"Well, well... okay, but I also put in some effort, can you give me half?" Yan Fugui said.

"Dad, what are you thinking? Did I ask you to sell it? We kept the wood just to use it today. We are giving you face by not asking you to pay for the wood. Don't push your luck."

"This this……"

Looking at the expressions of his three children, Yan Fugui knew that he would not get any advantage today, so he could only take out the money in his pocket with heartache and handed it over reluctantly.

"Bring it to you!"

Yan Jiefang snatched the money from Yan Fugui's hand, and then said to the people behind him, "Tear down the wood here, and we'll go back and find some more. It will be almost enough to make do with it."

After hearing what Yan Jiefang said, the people behind him immediately went up to dismantle it.

Seeing this situation, Yan Jiecheng became anxious, as he had spent the entire morning on this.

So he quickly went up to stop them and said, "Stop, stop it right now, what are you doing?"

"Boss, get out of here. Be careful that I won't consider our brotherhood and what else will I do with us? Of course, you'll take our wood." Yan Jiefang pushed Yan Jiecheng and said.

"Dad, Dad, please speak up! What will we do if it's demolished?"

"Jiefang, what are you doing? I'm your father, can't I use a little bit of your wood?" Yan Fugui said.

"Dad, I have something to say to you as well. It is the greatest disdain for parents to eat and take more than they deserve. Don't forget that we are still paying you our pension money!" Yan Jiefang said expressionlessly, "Keep demolishing!"

Just like that, under Yan Fugui's helpless and angry eyes, his own earthquake-resistant shed was stripped to its bones in a few strokes, leaving only a mess on the ground.

After dismantling the wood, a large group of people went back to their own yards in a mighty manner.

On the side, the people in the front yard saw all this and were gloating. Who told them to plot against the people in their own yard just now? This is what they deserved. This is retribution in this life.

"Dad, what should we do? What should we do tonight? Yan Jiefang and the others are going too far." Yan Jiecheng said.

"That's right, Dad. They only care about their own interests and don't care about you and Mom at all!" Wang Jing also said angrily.

"Oh, forget it. Is it any use saying these now? Let's think about what to do?" Yan Fugui said helplessly. He was the son he taught, so who could he blame?

"Dad, why don't we go squeeze in somewhere else?" Yan Jiecheng said, looking at the sheds of other families.

"Good idea, I'll go ask."

As he spoke, Yan Fugui walked towards Liangzi's shed, completely forgetting about selling wood to others.

"Liangzi!..."

Seeing Yan Fugui coming, Liangzi's mind was as clear as a mirror. Without waiting for Yan Fugui to speak, he took the initiative and said, "Second uncle, I know why you are here. I am calculating! Wait a minute."

"Count? Count what?" Yan Fugui asked puzzledly.

"Okay, I've finished the calculation. This piece of wood is worth fifteen yuan in total, plus other things in my house and my strength, let's make a hundred yuan in total. My house can barely accommodate ten people if we squeeze in, so let's make the cheapest price ten yuan. Uncle, how many people in your family are coming to live here?" Liangzi said with a smile.

Hearing Liangzi's words, Yan Fugui was shocked. Is this shameless?

"Liangzi, we are all neighbors, why are you so cruel?"

"Hahaha, Uncle Er, don't tell me that. Just tell me whether you are the one who sold our wood to us?" Liangzi sneered, "If you can do it on the first day, can't we do it on the fifteenth?"

After Liangzi said this, Yan Fugui blushed slightly, and then said, I will go ask other families.

"Uncle, don't go. We are all the same. If someone doesn't charge you money, I will take your surname." Liangzi said with a smile.

Sure enough, after going around, Yan Fugui got the same answer: if you want to live, you have to pay, and they are very expensive. There is no free feast in the world.

There was no choice but for Yan Fugui to return to his home dejectedly.

Seeing Yan Fugui's expression, the family probably understood what was going on. They heard Liangzi's words clearly.

"Dad, this is really retribution in this life. Even if we took the money, we were helping them, right? They are such a bunch of stingy guys." Yan Jiecheng cursed.

"Hey! They are not unwilling to help us, so we just need to give them money." Yan Fugui sighed.

"What should we do? How about giving money?"

"The minimum is ten yuan per person. Are you willing?" Yan Fugui asked. "You are willing, but I am not."

"I don't want to do that. For ten dollars, I might as well sleep on the street! Dad, why don't you go to the middle courtyard or the backyard, preferably the Li family in the backyard. I asked Liu Guangtian first. They have many beautiful tents and the food is okay. If it's possible, it will be a blessing in disguise for us." Yan Jiecheng suggested.

"That's right. If we can't live in the Li family, we can live in the middle courtyard. As long as it doesn't cost money, it's fine. Let's go to the middle courtyard together. Ruihua, you stay here and take care of this place, especially keep an eye on my TV."

"Old Yan, don't worry, the TV will be fine if anything happens to me." Yang Ruihua replied firmly.
