Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 363: The Responses of Filial Sons and Daughters

Seeing that his children were about to take action, Yan Fugui quickly stopped them, "Okay, okay, I've told you about the property now. Everyone has a share, and I'll divide it among you when the time comes."

"Dad, what do you mean? Everyone has a share?" Yan Jiecheng said unconvinced.

"That's what I mean. Let's not talk about this now. I have something else to tell you today. I'll think about the division of the property."

"Well, everything is gone now, right? I see you are still arguing." Yan Jiekuang said.

"Dad, why don't you divide it?" Yan Jiefang said speechlessly, "Just divide it according to your decision, I have no objection, okay?"

"Yes, Dad, I have no objection." Yan Jiedi agreed, "Big brother, third brother, what do you think?"

"I have no objection. Let me hear what Dad says first." Yan Jiekuang said, "Boss, express your opinion."

"Okay, Dad has the final say. But Dad, you have to think it over carefully before you speak. I'm the only one by your side now. If you divide it unfairly, don't blame me, the eldest son, for not caring about you two old people in the future." Yan Jiecheng emphasized.

"You talk as if you care more than us?" Yan Jiefang rolled his eyes.

"Isn't it? I'm watching over my parents every day, at least I'm better than you."

"Okay, okay, now let's talk about another thing." Yan Fugui stopped him.

After saying this, the eldest and second brother temporarily stopped their fighting.

"Solved!"

"Hey, Dad, tell me."

"Liberation, good to have Jiekuang Jiedi."

"Hey, Dad, what's wrong? Tell me."

"Although your father and I and your mother are usually a bit stingy, we still raised you, right?"

"Dad, you're right. We were raised by you and your two old couple." Yan Jiecheng echoed.

"You know the situation of our family before. Your father and I earned money for six people to spend. How could we survive if we were not frugal? Don't you agree?" Yan Fugui continued.

"That's right. If it weren't for Dad's scheming, the fourth and youngest children would have starved to death in 1960." Yan Jiecheng echoed.

"You are the one who is starving to death!" Yan Jiekuang retorted.

"Don't interrupt, just listen." Yan Fugui stopped them again.

"Hey, Dad, you talk, I won't interrupt."

"It was not easy for us two old people to raise you. We worked hard from head to toe. It was really not easy," Yan Fugui said. "It is no exaggeration to say that it is hard to repay the kindness of raising you. Don't you agree?"

"Dad, that makes sense," Yan Jiecheng continued.

"Therefore, everyone should repay their parents for their upbringing. If one does not even repay his parents for their upbringing, is he still a human being?" Yan Fugui continued.

Hearing Yan Fugui's words, the four of them were confused. Didn't they ask us to come and divide the property? Why did they bring up this matter?

Finally, Yan Jiekuang couldn't help it and asked directly, "Dad, just tell me what's going on. Anyone can understand the principles you're talking about. We are definitely human beings, not animals. We will definitely remember your kindness."

"Yes, Dad. I will definitely remember your kindness."

"Yes, tell me what you want to say."

"Okay, now that you say that, I feel relieved," Yan Fugui said, "Kids, something big has happened in our family, a matter of life and death."

"event?"

The eight people all looked at Yan Fugui with confusion. They were not here to divide the property today?

"Hey, Dad, what do you mean? Is it a matter of life and death? Tell me what's going on?" Yan Jiecheng asked.

"Oh!" Yan Fugui sighed.

"What's the matter? Dad, you are going to drive me crazy, aren't you?" Yan Jiefang said anxiously, "Why don't you tell me?"

"Your mother is sick!"

"Oh my god, I was so scared, I thought the sky was falling! If you are sick, just get treatment. It's so mysterious. I was scared, I thought our house was going to be taken away!" Yan Jiefang said speechlessly.

"Treat the disease? Yes, treat the disease, but do you know what disease your mother has?" Yan Fugui said sadly.

After Yan Fugui said this, the eight people all listened quietly.

At this time they also discovered that Yan Fugui's face looked very ugly. He must have been seriously ill. And judging from his posture, he was not here to divide the property, but to take their property.

So, after guessing the intention, the eight people listened quietly and didn't want to say another word.

Seeing that the eight people were silent, Yan Fugui asked, "Don't you want to ask what disease your mother has?"

……

"Jiecheng, you are the eldest brother, don't you care about what disease your mother has?" Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiecheng and asked.

"Haha, Dad, don't ask me all the time. Why don't you ask them too? They're not just my mom, right?" Yan Jiecheng said.

"What the hell! You just said you were the boss! Now you are all our mothers. Boss, you are so shameless." Yan Jiedi scolded.

After scolding her, she asked, "Dad, what's wrong with my mom? Is it serious?"

Anyway, she is a married girl, so it is not her turn to pay, Yan Jiedi thought, so she is not afraid of being asked!

"Oh, cancer, your mother has stomach cancer. Do you know what stomach cancer is?" Yan Fugui asked.

"What's the disease?" Yan Jiecheng asked.

"No way! Dad, doesn't that mean Mom has no chance of survival?" Yan Jiekuang said.

"Nonsense, Yan Jiekuang, are you cursing our mother?" Yan Jiecheng cursed.

"Boss, please don't put the accusation on me. The reason I said this is because the father of a classmate of mine got cancer two years ago and died within a year. That's why I said this. Dad, don't you agree? You must know it." Yan Jiekuang said.

"Well, almost. But your mother can still be saved. The doctor said that she can be saved," Yan Fugui said, "So I asked you to come here to discuss how to save her."

As soon as they heard about the negotiation, all eight of them understood. How to save him? It was just about money. How else could they negotiate?

After thinking it through, the eight people only had one word in their minds: escape.

So, those who usually had a good relationship with each other began to communicate with each other through eye contact.

"Dad, what are we discussing? It's just about saving him. You can handle the matter on your own. You don't need to discuss it with us." Yan Jiekuang said.

"Yes, Dad, you are the head of the family, you can do whatever you want, just save her, why discuss it with us?" Yan Fudi agreed, "Is my mom in the hospital now? Which hospital? How about I go and see her first?"

"Yes, Dad. Jie Di and I will go take a look. If there is anything, you can talk to the eldest son. He is the eldest son, and the eldest son is like a father. He can represent us." Yan Jiekuang said.

"Yes, that's right. Big brother is the eldest son, you can discuss it with him. Let's go see mom." Yan Jiefang said, "Don't get cold! Third and fourth brothers, mom is sick, aren't you worried? Go and see her, quickly."

"Yes, yes, let's go see mom, wife, hurry up, let's go see mom, mom must be scared, let's go and see her quickly."

As they spoke, the three couples of young lovers stood up hastily, pushing and shoving each other, and tried to leave.
