Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 436: He Family’s Response
The Yan family in the backyard suddenly heard laughter from the front yard. Yang Ruiping asked, "What do you think these kids are doing in the front yard without going out?"

Yan Bugui said: "How should I know? I thought they were all out."

Yu Li stood up and said, "You guys drink, I'll go take a look." Then she turned and walked towards the front yard. When she arrived at the restaurant in the front yard, she saw that the children of the family had not gone out. They had set up the table in the restaurant and were making dumplings.

Yan Leping turned around and saw his grandmother coming in. He shouted, "Grandma, grandma, I'm making dumplings for you. You have to eat them later."

Yu Li was very touched. She hugged Le Ping, kissed him and said, "Grandma will definitely eat the food you made. Grandma is really happy today."

Yan Yongqing said, "We, the younger generation, discussed that you have all worked hard for a year, so we, the younger generation, should also express our gratitude. So we decided to make dumplings for you elders. It will be ready in a moment."

Yu Li was so moved that she wiped away her tears. Yan Yongqing drove her back to the backyard and said, "Mom, please take Le Ping away. He is always making trouble."

Yan Leping looked up at his father and asked, "I only packed ten. Is that enough?"

Yu Li chuckled and said, "That's enough, let's go, follow grandma to the backyard to accompany great-grandma."

Yu Li led Yan Leping to the backyard. When Yang Ruiping saw his great-grandson, he smiled and waved. Yan Leping said, "Grandma, I made dumplings for you. You must eat them later."

Yu Li smiled and said, "The children are all still here, making dumplings in the front yard. They said they wanted to give us a surprise."

Everyone in the Yan family was very surprised and relieved. Yan Jiekuang curled his lips and said, "I don't know about others, but Xiaopang must have been forced by his brothers and sisters."

Yan Leping said at this time: "Third Grandpa, Fourth Uncle said that his dumplings are better than mine. You are going to eat mine later, so his dumplings will be the worst."

Yan Jiekuang chuckled and said, "He is just shameless. He even compares himself with our Leping. Leping's dumplings are definitely better than his. Third Grandpa will definitely eat your dumplings."

The Yan family laughed, and Yan Bugui said, "The children are really thoughtful. Let's not go over there and give them a chance."

Everyone nodded and continued drinking and chatting. Yan Leping was obediently wrapping peanuts and eating them. Yan Jiecheng saw this and said with some emotion: "When I see my grandson eating peanuts, I remember the scene when our father gave us peanuts when we were young."

Yan Bugui was drinking, and when he heard this, he spit out a mouthful of wine and said, "Why don't you think of something nice?"

When Yan Jiefang heard this, he laughed and said, "This is the most wonderful thing. When I was a kid, eating peanuts was so delicious. Every one of them tasted great."

The Yan family was singing and laughing at home, while Li Cuilan was sitting restlessly in Jia Dongxu's hotel. She was strongly opposed to going to see the Yan family. After all, her life was saved by Yang Ruiping of the Yan family. Later, her life relapsed again in Xiamen due to her old age, and it was also thanks to the last Liuwei Dihuang Pill given by the Yan family.

But Yi Zhonghai insisted on his own idea. He believed that Yan Bugui was a timid person who would give in to some things if given some benefits. He also believed that the third son of the Yan family was very easy to persuade and was very soft-hearted, otherwise he would not have been so easy to help Xu Delin last time.

Li Cuilan was sitting in Qin Huairu's room in the backyard of the hotel, feeling restless. After a while, she came out and saw Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu asked her kindly, "Master's wife, where are you going?"

Li Cuilan looked at her apprentice's wife who still had some charm and said, "Huai Ru, let me see if our family's Hai has come back."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "You said you were going to have dinner, how could you come back so early?"

"Huai Ru, you didn't go home for the New Year. Won't Mrs. Jia Zhang be angry with you?" Li Cuilan asked puzzledly.

"Oh, there's nothing I can do. I have guests here, so I can't go back. But I asked Jia Geng's family, Jia Xiaobao and his girlfriend to go back. I guess my mother doesn't have time to think about me." Qin Huairu said with a smile as always.

Li Cuilan nodded, thinking to herself that Qin Huairu was really capable. At this time, Qin Huairu said, "Master's wife, let's eat together at noon. I'll order the dishes, and I guess no one will bother us."

Li Cuilan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll eat with you." The two of them went to the restaurant in the front yard together.

After a while, Jia Dongxu entered the restaurant. Qin Huairu asked, "You're back. How are you? Did the Yan family treat you well?"

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "The third brother's craftsmanship has reached the pinnacle. There are probably not many people in the whole city who can surpass him. He is amazing."

Looking at the sober Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu guessed the result, so she didn't say anything. Li Cuilan was different. She asked directly, "Where is your master? Is he back?" "He's back and went to the backyard. Master's wife, please persuade my master. I thought it was a small matter, but he also wants to overturn this case worth more than ten billion. Isn't this a bit too much?" Jia Dongxu was still somewhat rational and said as he sat down.

When Li Cuilan heard this, she knew the talks had failed. She sighed and said, "I have advised him about this matter, but you don't know his temper. The reason why I didn't go was that I couldn't open my mouth. I didn't expect your master to be so persistent. There was nothing I could do."

Jia Dongxu complained a little: "Master's wife, why didn't you and Master explain the true situation clearly before you went? If I knew it was so difficult, I wouldn't go. I guess He Yuzhu is regretting it at home."

Li Cuilan lowered her head and said, "Your master won't let me, so I have no choice."

In Shajing Hutong, as soon as He Yuzhu returned home, he kicked the trash can at the door away. He Xiao looked at it and wondered why his father was so angry.

He hurried over and asked, "Dad, what's wrong? You're just going out for a meal, but you're still so angry. Grandpa has been grumbling about you for a long time. Come and have a drink with grandpa."

"It's okay." He Yuzhu didn't say much, and walked towards the backyard with his head down.

At this time, in the backyard, He Yushui, her children, and sister-in-law were eating with He Daqing, when they saw He Yuzhu walking in with a very bad look on his face.

He Yumei asked: "What's wrong? It's New Year's Day, and you still have a cold face."

He Yuzhu didn't say anything. He Daqing looked at his son and said, "What's going on? You've been used as a gun by Old Yi again. You deserve it. You got involved without knowing anything."

He Yuzhu poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip and said, "How could I know that the matter was so serious? The old Yan family turned hostile. How can I face them in the future? You said the same thing about Mr. Yi. It's such a big deal. You should have given us a heads-up beforehand."

He Daqing took a sip of wine, put down the glass and said, "That old fox, if I told you in advance, would you have gone?"

He Yuzhu thought about it, shook his head, and said, "I can't be happy. This is such a big thing. I can't let him go, let alone the Yan family. This Xu Delin, I will be upset if I don't do it."

He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu and said, "In the final analysis, Yi Zhonghai has selfish motives. If you say that Yi Zhonghai didn't know about this, I don't believe it at all. I guess Yi Zhonghai gave Xu Delin some advice when he was hesitating. Otherwise, haha."

He Yuzhu was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Dad, no way, this is Yi Zhonghai's doing. Could he do this?"

He Daqing chuckled twice and said coldly, "Who do you think he is? He is the most sinister person. Can that deaf old lady force me to leave? That incident caused a lot of uproar in the factory. I had to leave. Who spread the news? Who else could it be except Yi Zhonghai? He made it impossible for me to gain a foothold in the factory. I had to leave even if I didn't want to."

He Yuzhu still couldn't believe it and asked, "Then why did he do that? Just to listen to the deaf old lady?"

He Daqing took another sip of wine and said, "You are stupid, but you still don't believe it. Without huge benefits, he would take the risk to make up rumors about the canteen director? He must have received benefits from the deaf old lady. So I say that Yi Zhonghai is the most greedy for money. Money is his lifeblood."

He Yushui said at this time: "I believe what my father said. Think about my brother. He always cared about you and told you this and that, but did you see him take a penny? I was so hungry that I didn't eat for several meals, but he ignored me."

He Yuzhu lowered his head with a sense of guilt when he heard this, lit a cigarette and started smoking. He Daqing next to him said, "My silly son, how old are you? How come you still can't tell the difference between a good person and a bad person? You have to stay away from this kind of person. Just wait and see. When Xu Delin goes to jail, he will pester you and Jia Dongxu every day."

He Yuzhu was stunned, and quickly asked his father, "Dad, can you help me think about what I should do?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "Silly son, we can't afford to offend but we can avoid him. Let's go to the Northeast with your father. I heard that the mountain products there are selling well now. Let's go there and treat it as a trip, okay?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Dad, young people are all moving south now, why are you still moving north? I heard that people are laid off over there, and life is very difficult. Why are you still dealing in mountain products?"

He Daqing said: "You are really stupid. It is precisely because the living standard has dropped that the mountain products have become cheaper. It is worthwhile to take a trip."

He Yumei's eyes lit up and she said, "Dad, I'll go with you guys and bring back some wild ginseng."

He Daqing smiled and said, "Your wife is really smart. I actually have another purpose. I heard that half of the Tan family recipe book was taken away from the border, and I want to go look for it."

He Yuzhu stopped hesitating when he heard this. He also wanted to take a look, so he said, "Okay, after the New Year, we'll set off. I'll leave this to my sister and He Xiao."
