Chapter 2232
Yan Jiedi's Refusal
Yan Jiedi didn't dare to delay and took some time to go back to the courtyard house.
"Dad, Mom, why are you forcing me to come back again?"
The old woman said discontentedly, "I'm your mother. Can't I ask you to come back and see me?"
You, as a daughter, are not even as good as your second uncle's sons, Guangtian and Guangfu.
They came back with something, but you came back empty-handed.
Yan Jiedi chuckled: "I don't believe that my older brother and the others will buy anything when they come back."
"Eating won't make you poor, dressing won't make you poor, but poor planning will; that's what you taught me."
One sentence shut the old lady down.
The Yan family's rule is to avoid spending any unnecessary money.
Fruits and melon seeds are all unnecessary.
When you want to eat, you can just go to Yi Zhonghai's house and get some.
To expect Yan Bugui to buy it himself is a pipe dream.
During the years when Sha Zhu was unemployed, Yi Zhonghai and his ilk had no fruit or melon seeds to eat, and they could only endure it, as no one was willing to buy them.
Yan Bugui snorted in dissatisfaction: "If you don't want to buy, then don't buy. Why waste so much time talking?"
Yan Jiedi wasn't afraid of him: "Isn't this because my mother complained that I came empty-handed?"
I heard that the courtyard is going to be demolished?
Why did you force me to come here?
"Is this a warning to me, telling me not to covet the Yan family's wealth?"
Yan Bugui had never intended to leave his family property to Yan Jiedi, but being told so bluntly by Yan Jiedi still made him somewhat angry.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I didn't mean that. Did Yan Jiecheng and the other two tell you this?"
Yan Jiedi shook her head: "Do they even need to tell me that? Just use your brain a little, and you'll know."
Yan Bugui was somewhat overwhelmed, mainly because he never intended for Yan Jiedi to take advantage of him.
Of course, he wouldn't give up taking advantage of Yan Jiedi.
Yan Bugui coughed lightly and said seriously, "You've misjudged the situation."
Your mother and I have discussed it and agreed that all four of you siblings will be treated equally.
After the house is demolished, you will all be entitled to a share of the family property.
The third aunt quickly confirmed, "Your dad is right. Our family has always been fair and just."
This time is no exception.
You four siblings have equal obligations and rights.
Obligations come first, rights come second.
To have rights, you must first fulfill your obligations.
Yan Jiedi grasped the key point in the three aunts' words: "Then tell me, what are your conditions?"
There's no such thing as a free lunch in the Yan family.
If you want to gain benefits from Yan Bugui, you must first be prepared to bleed.
Yan Jiedi wanted to hear what kind of conditions Yan Bugui and his wife had.
Yan Bugui coughed again: "There are definitely conditions. We've already told your three older brothers."
They didn't tell you, did they?
Yan Bugui knew the children very well. He knew very well that the three brothers wouldn't tell Yan Jiedi everything.
This gave him room to maneuver.
Yan Jiedi thought to herself, "There really is a conspiracy." At the same time, she also had some doubts about her three older brothers' intentions.
She refused to admit defeat, saying, "They didn't tell me, but does that matter?"
The three women said, "It doesn't matter how. They're not telling you because they're afraid you'll steal the family property."
I'm telling you, they're all scrambling to agree to their family's conditions.
Your father and I didn't agree to their request because you weren't there at the time.
Yan Jiedi felt something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
It's normal for three older brothers to fight over the family property.
The Yan family rule is that any opportunity to gain an advantage should never be missed.
If she didn't have money, she wouldn't have let go of the family's house.
However, it would be somewhat illogical to say that the three older brothers were vying to agree to Yan Bugui's conditions.
It's very simple. Yan Bugui's conditions must include providing for his parents in their old age, but none of his three older brothers were willing to do so.
"Tell me your conditions first."
Yan Bugui and his wife were puzzled by Yan Jiedi's indifferent expression.
But now, they have no other way out.
The couple took turns stating their conditions.
Finally, a few more points were added, making it a hundred. "Jie Di, don't say we favor boys over girls."
If you agree to these conditions, we will give you a fair chance to inherit the family fortune.
Yan Jiedi was speechless for a moment.
Is this a condition?
This is simply an unequal treaty that humiliates and strips away China's sovereignty.
No one with a sound mind would agree to such conditions.
Yan Jiedi thought back on those conditions, and the more she thought about it, the less she felt she could agree to them.
If she agreed, she would truly become a servant of Yan Bugui and his wife.
Seeing that Yan Jiedi didn't speak, the third aunt said, "Let me tell you, your three brothers all want to agree."
If you agree, we'll sign an agreement.
"When the time comes, we'll call everyone in the family over and finalize the demolition arrangements."
Yan Jiedi suddenly laughed: "Mom, you mean my three older brothers all agreed?"
"Yes, they all rushed to agree." The third aunt didn't feel guilty at all.
Yan Jiedi said, "Since they have all agreed, then let them have it."
Raising children is for old age security.
How can one give their family property to their daughter instead of their son?
My family doesn't actually lack a house.
My old house with Luo Hong is also within the scope of the demolition.
I won't fight with my three older brothers for it.
Yan Jiedi refused outright, catching Yan Bugui and his wife completely off guard.
They genuinely had no intention of leaving their estate to Yan Jiedi. Their plan was to coax Yan Jiedi into signing an agreement, which they would then use to threaten their three sons.
The three sons will certainly fight over the terms agreed to in order to seize the family property.
They can also exploit the conflict between a few people to gain more benefits for themselves.
"You really don't want to sign?"
Yan Jiedi cried poverty: "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's that I'm powerless."
You require us to go to restaurants four times a month, and at least once to Chaoyang Restaurant.
I'm just an ordinary worker, and Luo Hong is just a junior policeman.
Even if you sell me out, I still won't be able to finish.
Also, you should eat fruit every day.
Is this a joke?
Who eats like that?
“That’s how He Daqing and Xu Fugui ate,” Yan Bugui argued.
"That's because they're rich. You're just envious of them now."
Don't have offended them in the first place.
You offend people and feel good about it, but we, your children, suffer the consequences.
If you hadn't offended people, we could have made a fortune alongside them.
A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; she is no longer there.
If I were to try and seize our family's property, I'd be drowned in public spittle.
I won't fight with my three older brothers for it.
You guys should really talk to them about it.
After saying that, Yan Jiedi left the Yan family without hesitation.
After going outside, I saw Geng Guangjian and a few others.
"Brother Geng, what brings you back?"
"It's Jie Di. We heard there was going to be demolished, so we came back to check on the house."
"You're back?"
Yan Jiedi generously said, "I came back to tell my parents that our house is being demolished and I don't want a single penny of the compensation."
What she didn't say was that she didn't want a single penny and wouldn't care about Yan Bugui and the Third Aunt anymore.
Geng Guangjian didn't know this and was even a little envious.
His daughter didn't understand this at all; she ran back and tried to take back the house.
Hearing Yan Jiedi's words, the third aunt was a little angry: "What are we going to do if this brat doesn't agree?"
How about we reduce the requirements a bit?
Yan Bugui, however, was unwilling to concede so quickly, and said, "Don't rush. Wait until the terms for the demolition are favorable, then they'll definitely be restless." (End of Chapter)
