Siheyuan: Domineering life

The next day, Yi Zhonghai came again.

This time he did not come alone, but brought Jin Hai with him.

The two of them came with gifts in large and small bags to thank Yang Jun, thanking him for lending them their house for their retirement, and most importantly, thanking Yang Jun for letting them go.

You have to know that based on Jin Hai's identity, if Yang Jun really wants to deal with him, he won't have enough lives.

The most important thing is to thank Yang Jun for letting him go.

Hearing the guard's announcement, Yang Jun, who was eating breakfast, frowned.

"Let them leave the gift behind, and the person will disappear."

Yang Jun just wanted to tell them that he was unhappy and would not see them, but he also wanted to tell them that he was magnanimous and would not argue with them, so they could stay there without worry.

Yang Jun was not worried at all whether Jin Hai would take away the old house, because he couldn't take it away at all. Of course, he didn't mind Jin Hai moving in. It was good to have someone to look after the house for him, and he didn't have to pay him a salary.

People are the courage of the house. If there is no vitality in the house, the house will age very quickly.

Yang Jun’s principle is that as long as his old houses are not moved, everything else will be easy.

After receiving the order, the guard went out.

"Honey, if it really doesn't work, I'll transfer a few younger people over to look after the house. They are all old and feeble, and I'm really afraid they will die there. It's so unlucky." Yi Qiu Shui said.

"No, leave a way for that old man to live."

Yang Jun said quietly, "Besides, aren't there enough people who died in the old house?"

The old house is more than a hundred years old. If we don't count the people who died in the Jin family, many people have died in the big house. Every family has a death, including his father Yang Gui who died in the old house. So, it can't be said to be unlucky or not. This is also the reason why Yang Jun agreed to let Jin Hai come back to live there in his old age. He doesn't believe in that stuff at all.

"Hey, whatever you want."

Yi Qiu Shui was helpless about Yang Jun's decision.

There are not only beautiful memories of Yang Jun there, but also the best memories of her and Yang Jun after their marriage. The old house also has a memorable significance for her.

"By the way, Chengzhi is getting engaged tomorrow. Are you ready?" Yang Jun asked.

Hearing this, Yi Qiushui rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's wrong with you? You've been absent-minded for a while. I told you yesterday that everything was ready. Why did you forget again?"

"I didn't forget, I just wanted to remind you." Yang Jun said.

Indeed, he was a little absent-minded during this period. His friends left one after another, and he was indeed not in good shape.

Fortunately, he is not a person who dwells on the past. After a little sadness, he returns to reality.

"Now that everything is ready, it's fine."

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he turned around and said to Huang Yani: "Yani, I'm sorry for wronging you."

As a biological mother, it is impossible for her not to feel uncomfortable if she cannot attend her daughter's engagement party. But there is no other way. Huang Yani is just a concubine and cannot show her face in public, let alone announce it to the public. This is not good for her or Yang Jun, especially Yang Jun's identity, which may become a handle for others to attack him.

Although Yang Jun was not afraid, there was no need to cause trouble for himself.

After hearing this, Huang Yani flashed a bitter smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was pretending to be happy.

"Hey, just attend my daughter's engagement party on my behalf. It doesn't matter to me whether I go or not."

She said it with ease, but she felt very sad in her heart.

Seeing this, Yi Qiushui took her hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will never let our daughter suffer any injustice. When I see that boy later, I will warn him not to bully Chengzhi."

Huang Yani forced a smile: "Oh, sister, thank you."

"We're all family, you're welcome."

After Yi Qiushui finished speaking, she turned around and said to the other women, "It will be the same for you in the future. I'm sorry to have to bear with you."

When the women heard this, a trace of helplessness flashed across their faces.

Meng Wenya sighed and said, "Ever since the day I followed Lao Yang, I expected this scene today. There is no other way. For Lao Yang and for the children, I am willing to sacrifice everything."

Yang Qingxiang: "Me too."

"Us too," several women echoed.

But Chen Ruolan did not agree. She sat there in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Yi Qiu Shui was very pleased and grateful to see that they were all reasonable.

"Sisters, don't worry. I am only attending your children's wedding on your behalf. I will not replace your position as mothers in the children's hearts. They will always be your children."

"Thank you sister."

Several women forced smiles.

This was just an engagement banquet, not a formal wedding. If nothing unexpected happened, Yi Qiu Shui would attend every important event in the children's lives, and their biological mothers would inevitably be absent.

They had no choice but to express regret.

……

The engagement banquet was held at the Guo family. After all, it was someone else's wedding, and it couldn't be held at the Yang family.

Early in the morning, Yang Jia and Yi Qiu Shui dressed up and went out.

After arriving at Guo's house, Yang Jun was first invited into the living room and then warmly entertained.

Today, he appeared as a guest and relative, so he enjoyed the highest etiquette.

Accompanied by Yang Chenglan, Yang Chengzhi went to the backyard to put on makeup as she was going to meet the guests at the engagement party.

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

Aunt Guo went to the gate to greet the guests, and Ding Qiunan accompanied the couple.

Ever since Guo Tianming passed away, she has been struggling to support the family with three children alone. Now, her eldest son is engaged, which means she has finally fulfilled her wish and has done her part for the Guo family.

"Why thank you? We are all family."

Yang Jun knew what she wanted to express. The main point was that the Yang family and the Guo family were able to get married, which meant they were marrying above their station.

After all, now that her father-in-law Guo Caodi and her husband Guo Tianming are gone, if they don’t have a background and backing, their Guo family will really decline.

She was very grateful to Yang Jun for marrying into the Guo family and marrying her most beloved daughter to the Guo family.

"No matter what, we are all family." Yi Qiu Shui echoed.

"Yes, Sister Qiu Shui, if it weren't for you and brother-in-law taking care of this family all these years, I don't know how I would have survived." Ding Qiunan said with emotion.

If it had been just her and Aunt Guo's efforts over the years, it would definitely not have worked. Without Yang Jun's care, the Guo family would have been eaten up to the point of leaving nothing behind, and at least the existing industries would have been lost.

This is the capital city, the water is very deep, and you may drown if you are not careful. There are many people who have fallen into decline like the Guo family. With the decline of that person, it is almost like everyone is pushing him down. Don't think about clinging to the past and living a good life on your own. That kind of person does not exist. If you don't have anyone to protect you, you will be swallowed up sooner or later.

"I don't have any other ideas now. I just want to raise my three children. When they all get married and start their own families, I will have completed my mission," said Ding Qiunan. Over the years, she has been living alone with three children, and sometimes she was forced to give up, but in the end she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

For the sake of her children and her family, she did not choose to remarry, but devoted her youth and sacrificed herself.

"Yes, we as parents do this for our children." Yi Qiu Shui agreed.

Yang Jun didn't say anything. He just sat there with a cigarette in his mouth, silently watching the show.

It was not easy for him to interrupt a woman when she was talking, and he also felt that there was no point in wasting time on such polite words. Sometimes, just a few words to get the point across were enough, and there was no need to talk about the same old things endlessly. Such things were usually left to Yi Qiu Shui, and he never participated.

It's okay when women are young, but when they get older, they will become nagging and talk endlessly when they meet, especially when talking about children, there are endless topics to talk about.

"You guys chat, I'll go see the kids."

Seeing them talking over and over again, Yang Jun felt very bored, so he got up and went to the back to check on the two children.

Ding Qiunan and Yi Qiushui were chatting happily and didn't pay any attention to Yang Jun. They just kept chatting among themselves.

Since the Guo family moved out of the military compound, they have lived in this large manor.

The manor is slightly smaller than where he lives now, but it is also very large. The layout of the manor is similar to a courtyard house, with the front where servants live and guests are received, and the backyard is where the master lives.

The courtyard layout is also star-shaped, with the main road in the middle and dozens of elegant small courtyards on both sides.

Along the way, servants could be seen busying around everywhere. Yang Jun followed the colorful gate and came to a courtyard.

There was a faint sound of laughter coming from the yard. Yang Jun listened and it seemed to be the voices of his two daughters.

Yang Jun shook his head and felt that the two children were too unstable. They could still laugh so happily in someone else's home. It could be seen that Yang Chengzhi was very satisfied with this marriage.

After finishing a cigarette, Yang Jun lit up another one and walked in with his hands behind his back.

I came to the living room and saw it was full of people.

Most of them were Cheng Zhi's classmates, who came specifically to attend her engagement party. Some of them were boys of the same age. If my guess was correct, they should be Guo Chang's classmates and brothers.

A group of children were laughing and throwing peanuts and sunflower seeds to each other, playing and having a lot of fun.

Yang Jun took a look and found that Yang Chengzhi, who looked like a girl, was sitting there putting on makeup. She had changed into a light red dress. The dress was Chinese style, but the pattern on it was Western style. Kids nowadays have big imaginations and always come up with something fancy.

Yang Chengzhi, who was sitting on a stool putting on makeup, had a constant smile on her face, and from time to time she glanced at the boy next to her through the reflection of the mirror.

The boy looked quiet and gentle, wearing a pair of glasses on his face, which made him look like a scholar. At this moment, he was sitting there with a red face, looking awkward, and from time to time he would steal a glance at Cheng Zhi with excitement in his eyes.

This boy was none other than Guo Chang, Yang Jun's future son-in-law.

When Yang Jun saw this scene, his heart finally settled down.

He originally thought that this was a marriage arranged by their parents and that the children would be somewhat opposed to it, but seeing this today, the two of them were very satisfied with each other, so he had nothing to worry about.

Guo Chang has a handsome appearance and is full of bookish air. The child takes after his mother Ding Qiunan and is very handsome. He gives people a very educated feeling. Yang Jun is very satisfied with this son-in-law.

Seeing that the children were having fun, Yang Jun stood at the door for a while, then prepared to turn around and leave.

"dad!"

Just as Yang Jun was about to leave, he was stopped by his second daughter, Yang Chengzhi.

She came in to accompany her sister and was also attending the engagement banquet as a member of her sister's family. She saw Yang Jun standing at the door at a glance.

Yang Chenglan ran over, took Yang Jun's arm, and said with a smile: "Dad, did you come here secretly to see your son-in-law? Don't lie."

When Yang Jun heard this, his head turned black.

"Why would I peek? I watched Guo Chang grow up. It's not like I haven't seen him before. I even changed his diapers when he was a kid."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chenglan pouted her lips, looking unbelieving.

Seeing that Yang Jun did not seem to be here to see his son-in-law, she flashed a trace of disappointment in her eyes, and then continued to lean over and whispered in Yang Jun's ear: "Dad, don't you think Guo Chang is handsome?"

When Yang Jun heard this, his heart trembled.

He stared at the girl meaningfully.

"Is he as handsome as your dad?"

Yang Chenglan felt embarrassed when Yang Jun stared at her. Her face turned red for some unknown reason, and then she said, "Of course... I'm not as handsome as my dad."

She wanted to say Guo Chang was handsome, but when she thought of the way Yang Jun looked at her just now, she immediately changed her words.

Hearing this, Yang Jun gave her a brain-shattering look, and then said faintly: "You will also meet someone as handsome as your father in the future."

"dad!"

Yang Chenglan cried out shyly and then turned to the side.

The person who heard the noise over there immediately looked over here.

When Guo Chang saw that it was Yang Jun who came, he hurried over.

He looked at Yang Jun, his face flushed, and he stammered, "Uncle... Dad..."

"Just call me uncle like before." Yang Jun looked at him with a smile, a cigarette in his mouth.

"Yes, uncle."

After hearing this, Guo Chang felt inexplicably relieved.

I used to call Yang Jun uncle, which must be a close relationship, that is, a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship. I thought about changing it to calling Yang Jun dad, but I couldn't change it for the time being.

"I heard that you have a nickname in school, called...School Prince?" Yang Jun looked at him with a smile.

When Guo Chang heard this, he suddenly became flustered.

"No... No, that's not my nickname."

The nickname "School Prince" is a compliment, but in the eyes of my father-in-law it is not a compliment. If Yang Jun knew that he was so popular among the girls at school, what would his father-in-law think?

"Oh, if not Campus Prince, then what should I call him?" Yang Jun looked at him with interest.

"me……"

Guo Chang looked at Yang Jun nervously and helplessly. Finally, he said with a bitter face: "Uncle, I don't have any nickname. I... I know what you mean. Please rest assured that I will never let Cheng Zhi down."

"I promise to treat her well for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Yang Jun still kept a smile on his face, and then patted his shoulder a few times meaningfully.

"You are a smart guy. If I knew that you dared to do anything to let Cheng Zhi down, humph..."

"Uncle, don't worry, this will never happen." Guo Chang quickly assured. (End of this chapter)
