Chapter 2287
I Want to Go South
Not only did Yan Jiekuang and his wife not believe what he said.
Even Yan Jiekuang himself didn't really believe it.
He moved out of the Yan family home after that day.
During this period, he had no shortage of ways to make money.
After all, the orchid market is good.
As long as he can find a source of orchids, he can earn a few, more or less.
On the contrary, Yan Bugui, since he was no longer there to run errands, has become unable to do so in many places.
The eldest and second sons are now very satisfied with their lives and don't want to get involved with the elderly couple.
Yan Jiecheng and his wife were genuinely unwilling.
Orchid Restaurant is doing better and better, and has become a well-known fast food restaurant.
Their slogan was: "Three cents to eat your fill, five cents to eat well, and one dollar for fish and meat..."
The restaurant usually has a mix of meat and vegetable dishes on hand for lunch and dinner.
It's already no different from the boxed lunch restaurants of later generations.
Their monthly income is quite high, so the couple really doesn't care about their savings of ten thousand yuan anymore.
The second son, however, was a bit weak.
Yan Jiefang was well aware of the current state of the three brothers.
If the elderly couple were to divide their assets, their family would definitely receive the largest share.
So he doesn't need to fight for anything.
What's meant to come will come.
Besides, last time he came, he replaced the third brother for two days, and the third brother caused quite a commotion and a lot of trouble.
He appeared to be insane.
Yan Jiefang was too lazy to argue with the third brother.
He really has no point in this matter.
The idea of selling clivia was first proposed by Yan Jiekuang.
As a result, the old man kicked the third son out and dragged him to do it.
Whether or not he gets a share of the money, his reputation isn't exactly stellar.
Yan Bugui had no choice.
That's why Yan Bugui called Yan Jiekuang back today, hoping for a reconciliation between father and son.
Yan Jiekuang's inability to eat was not due to being upset.
It was because he had taken Zhao Xia to eat roast duck that she couldn't get used to the mixed grain rice at home.
However, he also considered reconciliation.
The little money he earned from his odd jobs outside was really not enough for him and Zhao Xia's expenses.
Actually, the woman gave him a chance to leave.
Even today, when the two of them were eating roast duck, Zhao Xia told Yan Jiekuang not to spend any more money on her.
Let Yan Jiekuang live a serious life, find a good woman, and live a good life.
But Yan Jiekuang seemed to be addicted; the more Zhao Xia said those things, the less willing he was to let go.
Therefore, high-level hunters always appear in the form of prey.
That's the idea.
"If you don't believe me, then my son and I can each go our own way."
It's not like I can't afford to live outside.
"There's no need to go home and be treated like a thief by you two." Yan Jiekuang used a feigned retreat to advance, suddenly standing up as if to leave.
His tall figure blocked out the dim yellow light overhead.
His figure also concealed the elderly couple's frail figures.
In recent years, the decorations in the Yan family's house have remained largely unchanged from ten or twenty years ago.
The dilapidated and dimly lit place created a sense of oppression.
It wasn't that Yan Bugui didn't buy any new things; rather, he treated the television and tape recorder he bought like treasures, locking them away in his bedroom.
That same day, Yang Ruihua went to the Intermediate People's Court for a casual chat, and probably forgot to lock the door.
That's why Yan Jiekuang was able to take advantage of the situation and get in.
It was clear that Yan Jiekuang was about to cut ties completely.
Yan Bugui felt a pang of panic and gave Yang Ruihua a wink.
Yang Ruihua immediately said, "Third brother, what's wrong with us saying a few words to you?"
We gave birth to you and raised you, so we can't even say anything to you?
When did you start having such a bad temper?
Regardless of whether I wronged you last time,
The action you took was wrong from the start.
"There are no bad parents in the world, we are only thinking of your best interests..." Yang Ruihua's words, though seemingly firm, were actually just giving Yan Jiekuang a way out.
The Liu family's backyard.
In Liu Guangtian's small room, the beautiful and elegant Huaihua was whispering to Xiaodang.
Since she got into university, she has become increasingly tactful in her dealings with people over the past two years.
Because of her experience of working in the countryside when she was young, she earned a good reputation among her classmates.
And she holds a certain position in the class.
This time, what Huaihua was talking to Xiaodang wasn't about her and her sister, but about the Wang family.
This is also a character that He Yuzhu overlooked.
The Wang couple knew he disliked the Jia family.
So in the past year or two, Xiao Er has never mentioned locust flowers to He Yuzhu.
But in fact, Huaihua had always maintained close ties with Qin Jingru.
Even many of the Wang family's decisions were made by her, who gave the couple advice.
For example, when renting a house, they don't trust the middleman, the third brother.
There was also the matter of the couple going to Sichuan to receive their shares.
Her shadow is in everything.
To be honest, Huaihua didn't intend to harm Qin Jingru and her husband.
She also hoped that her aunt's family would have a better and better life.
Because of her past experiences, she doesn't believe that such selfless acts of kindness truly exist in reality.
This was the reason she initially tried to persuade Qin Jingru not to trust her third senior brother too much.
Her own mother once considered selling her and Xiaodang for her own happiness.
Let alone others?
Of course, subsequent developments in the Wang family's affairs proved her suspicions to be wrong.
But she certainly won't admit she's wrong.
"...Our uncle-in-law is scheming, but he doesn't want to stand out and offend anyone."
They push all the problems onto our aunt.
He's been thinking about opening a small restaurant lately.
He's a good cook, but he lacks confidence.
I heard he even went to see the He family from our Intermediate People's Court..." Huaihua talked on and on, gossiping about the Wang family.
"Shh..." Xiao Dang made a shushing gesture.
She glanced back before whispering to Huaihua, "Never talk about business in front of your brother-in-law."
He's been rather unsettled lately.
Seeing others making big money in business makes me so envious!
Huaihua said in surprise, "If my brother-in-law wants to do it, then let him do it!"
Small businesses will only become more and more open up.
It's no longer uncommon for individuals to become millionaires.
Xiao Dang slowly shook her head and said with a serious expression, "Neither my father-in-law nor I want your brother-in-law to do business."
Money is definitely a good thing.
But how much is enough?
With Mom's salary and Dad's subsidies, our family could make ends meet.
But both Grandma and Mom are going to have to make a fuss.
Later, the tragedy led to the destruction of his family and the death of his loved ones.
I don't want him to get rich.
"As long as we have enough to eat and use each day, and the family stays together, that's enough."
Xiao Dang spoke of these things with a completely calm expression.
She too has experienced hardship.
She has truly seen through many things.
Seeing the pain on her second sister's face as she recounted the past, Huaihua immediately reached out and grasped her hand.
In silence, she expressed her support for her second sister.
"...Sister, after I graduate, I'm thinking of going south to try my luck." Huaihua told Xiaodang something she had been thinking about for a long time. (End of Chapter)
