Chapter 446: Outgrowth!

Chapter 446: Extraneous branches!

After hearing the advice from the eldest aunt, the aunties and young wives in the yard picked up their stools and went home to cook. Only Yang Ruihua was still standing there in a daze, without any response.

When Auntie saw Yang Ruihua standing there in a daze, she thought of the character of several children in the Yan family and her mood became very complicated. Since she got married to Yi Zhonghai, she has longed to have her own child countless times, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not conceive.

In contrast, the Liu and Yan families had children one after another, but the Liu family only cared about the eldest child, and beat and scolded the second and third children, which led to the eldest child, Liu Guangqi, packing up and running away with his wife just after getting married.

The Yan family, because Yan Bugui was too calculating, caused his children to follow his example and disregard family affection for a little money. Not only did it end in divorce, but the Yan family's reputation was completely ruined because of this incident.

Thinking of the two families, Auntie was envious and sympathetic. She reached out and patted Yang Ruihua on the shoulder, and whispered to comfort him: "Old Yan family! Li's daughter-in-law is also doing this for your own good, so don't take it too seriously."

Yang Ruihua recovered from his daze after hearing the comfort from the aunt. Thinking of what Yan Jiecheng was doing now, Yang Ruihua had to take this issue seriously. He said to the aunt with gratitude, "Auntie! Old Yan will be back soon. I will go home and cook for him first."

After get off work, Yan Bugui pushed his bicycle into the front yard. Seeing the empty yard, he parked his bicycle under the corridor of his house, locked the bicycle, and walked into the house carrying his briefcase.

Normally, as long as Yan Bugui walked into his house, he could smell the fragrance of food. However, today, when he returned home, he did not smell that smell. He then looked into the kitchen and saw that there was no smell of smoke in the kitchen. A puzzled expression immediately appeared on his face.

"It's already this late, why hasn't the family cooked yet? What's going on?" With a puzzled mood, Yan Bugui muttered to himself as he walked to his room, only to see Yang Ruihua sitting on the edge of the bed wiping her tears.

Yan Bugui was even more confused when he saw this scene, and he quickly asked Yang Ruihua: "Wife! What's wrong with you today? Is there anyone who made you unhappy?"

When Yang Ruihua heard Yan Bugui's question and saw Yan Bugui walking into the house from outside, he quickly reached out to wipe the tears from his face and asked Yan Bugui with a worried look on his face, "Master! These children in our family are more calculating than each other now? Do you think that when we are old and can no longer work, will our children provide for us in our old age?"

Yang Ruihua's question made Yan Bugui, who was full of doubts, stunned because he had never thought about this question. He asked Yang Ruihua with curiosity: "Wife! Are the people in the courtyard gossiping again? We raised them when they were young, and they will take care of us when we are old. Isn't that a natural thing? Why are you suddenly worried about this kind of thing?"

If it were in the past, Yang Ruihua would have believed what Yan Bugui said, but now, she has no confidence in Yan Bugui's ideas at all. She reminded Yan Bugui with a worried look on her face: "Boss! Before Xie Cheng and Yu Li divorced, Yu Li's mother needed money for hospitalization, and Yu Li asked Xie Cheng to borrow money. But Xie Cheng was worried that he would not be able to get the money back, so he just watched her die without helping."

"Jie Cheng is willing to ignore Yu Li's mother's life and death for the sake of a few dozen dollars. If we two are old and need to spend money for hospitalization in the future, will his brothers and sisters ignore our lives for the sake of money?"

Yan Bugui knew very well the personalities of his own children. When he heard Yang Ruihua's reminder, he thought of those children who could haggle over a little food. At this moment, Yan Bugui no longer had the confidence he had before, and his mood also became anxious.

Jia Dongming could never have imagined that because of what he said at noon to Yang Ruihua, the Yan couple would start to worry about their future retirement. When Jia Dongming returned home and saw Jia Fuqiang and his son Jia Dongzhe, he asked Jia Fuqiang with a puzzled look on his face: "Uncle! The last time you went to the city, didn't I tell you to go to the city early to handle the entry procedures? Why did you wait until today?"

When Jia Fuqiang heard Jia Dongming asking about the reason for their delay in entering the city, he immediately showed a depressed expression on his face and said to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! This is all because of the work quota." After hearing what Jia Fuqiang said, Jia Dongming thought about the personalities of the Jia Dongfang brothers and asked Jia Fuqiang with a puzzled look on his face: "Uncle! Didn't I tell you last time? For the sake of fairness, let the two brothers Dongfang draw lots to decide directly, so that no one can blame anyone. Could it be that the two brothers quarreled over the work quota?"

When Jia Fuqiang heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately realized that Jia Dongming had misunderstood him, and he quickly introduced himself to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! It's not a problem between the two brothers, but the family of Dongfang's wife. When they learned that there was a work quota at home, they came to ask for the work quota. If you don't give it to me, they will call Dongfang's wife back to her family's home."

"Why should our Jia family's work indicators be given to Dongfang's wife's family? This family is too shameless, isn't it?" When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Fuqiang said, his face suddenly darkened and he started cursing.

When Jia Dongzhe heard Jia Dongming's curse, he quickly explained to Jia Dongming: "Brother! Actually, my sister-in-law is a relatively reasonable person. The main problem is that my sister-in-law's mother is a completely unreasonable shrew. She actually asked our family to give the quota to my sister-in-law's brother who only knows how to cheat and play tricks all day long."

When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Dongzhe said, his brows knitted together and he asked Jia Dongzhe seriously, "Dongzhe! How was this matter resolved?"

When Jia Dongzhe heard Jia Dongming asking about the solution, he remembered that the Li family lied that the old man of the Li family was in trouble in order to snatch the work quota, and tricked Li Erya and the children back to Lijia Village. He replied angrily: "Brother! You don't know that in order to force our family to submit, the old lady of the Li family lied to my sister-in-law and said that her father was seriously ill, and asked my sister-in-law to take Gou Wa and Hu Niu back to Lijia Village!"

"After my sister-in-law took the children back, they arrested the person and asked my father to use his work quota to replace him. If my sister-in-law hadn't been smart and sneaked out of the Li family with the children while the Li family wasn't paying attention, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have been so easy to resolve."

"Originally, this spot belonged to my eldest brother, but in order to prevent the Li family from causing trouble again and to save my sister-in-law from being caught in the middle, he gave the spot to me."

After hearing what Jia Dongzhe said, Jia Dongming finally understood the whole story and said to Jia Dongzhe, "Dongzhe! Dongfang gave you the quota, which is equivalent to giving you a chance to change your destiny. You must remember how good your brother was to you."

When Jia Dongzhe heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he nodded immediately and assured Jia Dongming with gratitude: "Brother! Don't worry! I will not only remember my brother's kindness to me, but also remember your help to our family."

After hearing Jia Dongzhe's assurance, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Jia Dongzhe, "Dongzhe! I have a quota for a steel mill and a quota for a machinery factory. Do you plan to work in the steel mill or the machinery factory?"

When Jia Dongzhe heard Jia Dongming's question and learned that he could choose the factory where he worked, he didn't know what to choose for a moment. Finally, he said to Jia Dongming with embarrassment, "Brother! I don't understand these things either. Just help me choose."

"Dongming! Dongzhe is right. We don't know much about these two factories. Which one is better? Just help Dongzhe to choose." After hearing the question raised by Jia Dongming, Jia Fuqiang thought for a moment and spoke to Jia Dongming.

After hearing the answers from Jia Fuqiang and his son, Jia Dongming thought about it carefully for a while before saying to Jia Fuqiang, "Uncle! Dongzhe likes to run around everywhere. I think we should let him work as a buyer in the machinery factory! There are fewer people in the machinery factory, and the purchasing tasks are not as heavy as those in the steel rolling mill, so the work will be much easier."
