Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 870: I can only agree to Yan Bugui’s request first

Yan Bugui had originally been scheming to get a piece of the house left by the deaf old lady, but now, looking around at the tense situation and the refusal of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, he knew that no matter how hard he fought, the house would most likely not fall into his hands. He narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and his gaze inadvertently fell on his son, Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Bugui gently patted Yan Jiekuang's shoulder and said earnestly: "Kuang'er, think about it, if you really went to the backyard and became neighbors with Jia Zhang, with her fierce and difficult temper, do you think you can live a peaceful life in the future?" As Yan Bugui spoke, he observed his son's expression, trying to make him understand the seriousness of the matter.

Yan Jiekuang pondered his father's words carefully and had to admit that Yan Bugui was indeed right. Jia Zhang was notoriously unreasonable in the courtyard. If they really became neighbors, they would definitely have conflicts every few days.

Thinking of this, he felt helpless for a moment, but then he came up with another idea. He looked at Yan Bugui with a sly look in his eyes: "Dad, I've helped you with all these things. I've been eavesdropping on you all the time. Shouldn't I get some benefits? Shouldn't I get a share of this money?" Yan Jiekuang knew that there was no hope of buying the house, so he turned his attention to the possible financial gains.

When Yan Bugui heard his son's words, he knew what he was up to. He laughed and scolded, "You little bastard, why do I work so hard to earn money? Isn't it so that you can live a good life, buy you a house, start a family, and build a career? Which of these things requires a lot of money? Do you think money comes from the wind?" Yan Bugui scolded his son outwardly, but in his heart, he also felt that this boy had inherited his cleverness.

When Yan Jiekuang heard his father's words, he knew he had failed again. Although he was a little annoyed, he couldn't get angry. He snorted angrily, stamped his feet, turned around and walked home angrily, muttering, "It's always like this. I can't get anything good."

Gu Nan, peering through the window at home, happened to see Yan Bugui walking back happily with a look of smugness on his face. While it wasn't clear what specific agreement they had reached, judging by the situation, it seemed likely that Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, and Liu Haizhong had already secretly divided up the deaf old lady's property, especially the houses. Gu Nan's lips curled up slightly in a disdainful smile, thinking to himself, "Hmph, just a petty scheme." He wasn't about to let them off so easily. After a moment's deliberation, he began to prepare his backup plan. He thought, "When the time comes, I'll just report this to the higher-ups, let them know about their little tricks, and see if they can still laugh." Gu Nan was always decisive and wouldn't waste too much time on these selfish people.

After Yan Bugui left, Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai anxiously, rubbing his hands unconsciously, and asked anxiously: "Old Yi, what do you think we should do about this matter? Yan Bugui showed up out of nowhere and made things a mess. How do we divide the house now? Is there any way for our two families to get more benefits?" His eyes were full of worry and expectation, hoping that Yi Zhonghai could come up with a foolproof plan.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly, spread his hands, and said bewilderedly, "How should I know? I'm also puzzled. I don't know who told Yan Bugui about this. Otherwise, how could things suddenly become so troublesome? It's simply because of nothing that all these troubles have arisen."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang immediately turned her attention to Liu Haizhong. She glared at him and said angrily, "Liu Haizhong, didn't you say that to Yan Bugui? Look at you, now you've caused so much trouble!"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was so angry that his neck turned red. He quickly waved his hands to deny it: "You are talking nonsense! Why should I tell Yan Bugui? I'm not stupid. If one more person gets involved, then that means one more person will take advantage! What do I want?"

Immediately afterwards, Jia Zhang and Liu Haizhong started arguing with each other. Liu Haizhong was convinced that Jia Zhang must have leaked the information. In his mind, Jia Zhang was a big mouth who could not keep secrets and would tell anyone about anything. However, Jia Zhang insisted that it was Liu Haizhong who did it. She felt that Liu Haizhong was afraid that he would take advantage of this matter, so he deliberately leaked the news to Yan Bugui to disrupt the situation.

The two of them argued until their faces flushed and their voices grew louder and louder. Yi Zhonghai, standing nearby, felt his ears aching and his head nearly dizzy from the cacophony. He couldn't help it any longer and waved his hand vigorously, shouting, "Alright, stop arguing! Now isn't the time to argue. We need to think about what to do. After all, if we don't explain this matter to Yan Bugui and handle it properly, who knows what more troublesome things will happen later!"

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's shout, Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhangshi reluctantly shut up, but they still glared at each other with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

At this time, Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai and said with difficulty: "Uncle Yi, you can't really give Yan Bugui money, right? We haven't even moved in yet, why should we give him money first? This is too aggrieved."

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, looked at Qin Huairu, and patiently explained, "If you don't pay, I'm sure that with Yan Bugui's temper, he will really spread this matter to everyone in the courtyard. If the matter gets out of hand, it might cause even more trouble, and none of us will be able to live in peace."

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Liu Haizhong pondered for a moment, then looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Do you think that even if we don't pay Yan Bugui, the people in the courtyard won't know when we move in? In my opinion, as long as our two families move in directly, the matter will be settled. What can Yan Bugui do?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she felt that this was exactly what she wanted to say. She stood up excitedly and clapped her hands, "What Liu Haizhong said is indeed right! I'll see what Yan Bugui can do then. We have already moved in, can he still drive us out? Even if other people in the courtyard find out, what can they do? They will be even more helpless." The more Jia Zhang thought about it, the happier she became, as if she had already seen the beautiful picture of herself moving into the backyard and completely getting rid of the unpleasant smell in the middle courtyard.
