Chapter 2276
Yan Jiedi Deals with the Schemes
The current lifestyle in the courtyard house is all thanks to Yi Zhonghai.
Without Yi Zhonghai, they wouldn't be living such comfortable lives now.
For the sake of their current good life, everyone in the courtyard adores Yi Zhonghai, regarding him as the ancestor of the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai already had a bad temper, and being fawned over by everyone only made it worse.
The three aunties still wanted to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai, so they didn't dare to offend him at all.
"You brat, don't you know that Old Yi hates it when his juniors don't listen to him? Why are you going against him?"
Yan Jiedi said with a look of disdain, "You like to fawn over him, that's your business, what does it have to do with me?"
"If you're not going to flatter him, what are you doing here?" The third aunt believed that Yan Jiedi had found out about the situation and came to take advantage of her.
The three aunts didn't object to Yan Jiedi taking advantage of the situation.
After all, no matter what, Yan Jiedi is a daughter of the Yan family, and it's not like I'm taking advantage of her.
She had no reason to refuse, both emotionally and logically.
"If you want to make money with us, don't offend Lao Yi."
Yan Jiedi understood that the Third Aunt had misunderstood, but she didn't explain. In fact, she hoped the Third Aunt would continue to misunderstand.
Following He Yuzhu, there are countless opportunities to make a fortune.
She made a fortune when Shanghai issued stocks.
This matter has been kept from the Yan family.
"Mom, I just don't understand. Where did this Jin Qihao come from, and how is he so rich?"
"Didn't I tell you? He's the son of the deaf old lady."
"Even if he is the deaf old lady's son, he should have left once he knew about her."
Judging from this, it seems like they're planning to invest in Beijing.
Yan Jiedi didn't say anything, but she already knew what Jin Qihao was planning to do.
The three aunts didn't hide anything and told Yan Jiedi about their plans to open a fried chicken shop and a restaurant.
Taking the opportunity, Yan Jiedi asked, "Something's not right. It looks to me like they're going against Brother Zhu."
The three women quickly spat twice: "Let me tell you, in our courtyard, you can't call him Brother Zhuzi, you can only call him Sha Zhu."
Yan Jiedi rolled her eyes and patiently replied, "I understand."
She simply couldn't understand why people had to be so particular about something as simple as how to address someone.
Yi Zhonghai and his friends endured countless slaps for this title, but they refused to change it.
The third aunt could tell from her expression that she didn't take it to heart.
“Say what I tell you to say. I'm warning you, if you offend Lao Yi and make things difficult for me, your dad, and your brother, then…”
We're going to ask you for compensation.
Yan Jiedi was speechless: "Is it really worth it for a title?"
"Do you guys really want to get slapped?"
The third aunt snorted: "Is it really necessary? Of course it is."
If we change our tune, wouldn't we have taken the beating for nothing?
Yan Jiedi knew there was no way to persuade her, so she didn't argue: "I'll remember, is that alright?"
Are you all going to go against Brother Zhu?
The three women said confidently, "We're going to go against Sha Zhu, so what?"
Jin Qihao spent so much money to avenge his mother.
"We won't go against Sha Zhu. Will he still give us money?"
"Are you guys courting death?" Yan Jiedi muttered under her breath.
Yi Zhonghai and the others have gone mad, unaware of what He Yuzhu's identity represents.
Yan Jiedi, however, understood very well.
He Yuzhu's status alone puts him in an invincible position.
No matter what tricks Yi Zhonghai and his ilk use, it's useless.
"What did you say? Who's looking for death?" The third aunt was too excited and didn't hear Yan Jiedi's words clearly.
Yan Jiedi quickly denied it: "I didn't say anything. I meant that the deaf old lady died a long time ago."
It wasn't that she, as the daughter, would stand by and watch someone die. Yan Jiedi simply knew she had no way of persuading Yan Bugui and his wife to stop.
This couple would do anything for money.
There's a golden opportunity to take advantage of you, and there's only one way to get them to give it up.
That would give them another chance to take advantage. Yan Jiedi couldn't find such an opportunity, and even if she did, she wouldn't be willing to give it to Yan Bugui and his wife.
The third aunt said, "It's precisely because the deaf old lady died that we want revenge."
If you want to make money with us, don't offend Lao Yi.
Yan Jiedi's eyes darted around, and she asked ingratiatingly, "If I come here, what kind of job will you give me? How much money will I get?"
"How much money you can earn and what kind of work you can do depends on whether you know what's good for you." Yan Bugui pushed open the door and walked in.
"Why are you here?" the third aunt asked curiously.
Yan Bugui walked to the head seat and sat down: "Of course I came here for this girl."
This girl has never even considered visiting us, and she keeps going around saying she wants to cut ties with us.
They must have come back this time because they heard we've become successful and want to take advantage of us.
Can I not come and see for myself?
Yan Jiedi wasn't stupid; she knew that Yan Bugui's purpose in returning was not simple.
"Dad, look at what you're saying. You're blaming me for not coming to see you."
Then let me ask you, when you had the chance to take advantage of someone, did you think of me?
I wouldn't have known this even now if I hadn't heard it from someone else.
Our family rule is to treat everyone equally.
You invited all three of my older brothers, but not me.
"You broke the rules first."
Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiedi with shame and anger, refusing to admit it.
Once he acknowledged this, he would no longer be able to ask Yan Jiedi for any benefits.
"I didn't break any rules. The reason I didn't call you is because you've been getting too close to Sha Zhu."
Old Yi disliked Sha Zhu the most.
If I call you back, he won't let our family get involved in his business.
Your brother and I won't get any benefits.
We can't let this opportunity slip away just because of you.
The three aunts shared the same stance as Yan Bugui and immediately stood up to speak in his defense.
“Your dad is right. We can’t let it be because of you that none of us get any benefits.”
Yan Jiedi didn't believe this at all.
The strategy of using a gauntlet of opponents was invented by the four siblings.
They were young, so they were at a natural disadvantage when facing Yan Bugui and his wife.
In order to counter Yan Bugui's attempts to take advantage of them, the siblings resorted to a strategy of taking turns attacking him.
They used a strategy of attrition to fight against Yan Bugui and achieved considerable success.
Yan Bugui and his wife quickly learned this trick as well. They used the same method on the siblings.
"Don't try to smear me. Everyone knows that Dad and that old man are birds of a feather and collude in evil deeds."
Even if an old man dies, he'll take his father with him.
There's no way he'd stop Dad from taking advantage of me.
"You brat, why do you say such awful things?" the third aunt scolded angrily.
I guessed that Yan Jiedi wouldn't give in so easily, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless in her words.
In their minds, Yan Jiedi would definitely try to please them in order to gain an advantage.
Yan Jiedi had to admit that the third aunt was overthinking things. She had only come to gather information and had no intention of joining.
She remembered very clearly which career path she would follow.
"I'm telling the truth. I came here to see you all."
Now that I see you're all doing well, I'm relieved.
From now on, let my three older brothers take care of you in your old age.
Don't bother looking for me anymore.
"You didn't come here to take advantage of us?" Yan Bugui and his wife were dumbfounded.
"No, I have a job, and it's in a public institution. Do you think I'd quit my job for such a small amount of money?" (End of Chapter)
