Chapter 866 Yan Bugui also came
Gu Nan gently grasped Ran Qiuye's slender hand, which was wearing the jade bracelet. His movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of hurting her. His eyes were full of affection and solemnity. He slowly said, "Qiuye, look at this jade bracelet. It is a rare treasure in the world. Look at its texture, which is warm to the touch, hard and strong, as if it contains endless power. This bracelet embodies my deep friendship for you. No matter what you do in your daily life, even if you just go out for a walk or do housework at home, you must always carry it with you. Never leave it. Do you understand my feelings? It is like I am always by your side, protecting you and ensuring your safety and success."
Ran Qiuye raised her eyes and gazed into Gu Nan's sincere gaze. Although she wasn't entirely sure of the jade bracelet's special significance, her trust in him was unwavering. She knew full well that this man, who cared deeply for her, would never do anything to hurt her. This trust flowed through her heart like a warm current, filling her with warmth. She nodded gently, her lips curling upwards in a sweet smile. Then she turned, took light steps, and walked over to tease Gu Shiwan.
Gu Nan nodded slightly when Ran Qiuye agreed. After she turned and left, his expression gradually grew serious. He knew that what he was about to undertake was a major project that affected the future of his entire family. He could no longer live in a muddle-headed manner for the past few years, focusing only on daily eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating. He had to plan a bright future for his family. In fact, in his mind, Gu Nan already had a perfect plan.
This plan was like a meticulously crafted grand blueprint, every detail carefully considered and polished in his mind. However, it was a vast undertaking, with every detail impacting the entire organization. If he were careless and the news leaked to someone with ulterior motives, his entire family could be doomed because of him. Therefore, he had to keep this secret a secret, never letting anyone know.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the courtyard, Yan Bugui and Yan Jiekuang were leisurely approaching Liu Haizhong's door. Inside, the discussion about the allocation of housing was still raging, but no conclusion had been reached.
Liu Haizhong tilted his head slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of self-confidence as he looked at Qin Huairu and said with a hint of arrogance, "Qin Huairu, I'm the head of this courtyard. Everyone can see how much effort and care I put into all the big and small things here. Of course, I should ask for a larger share of this house allocation. Tell me, what else do you want to do?"
Qin Huairu lowered her head, her lips tightly pursed, and remained silent. She knew she had, for so long, played the role of a weak and helpless person, accustomed to enduring in silence in this courtyard. If she argued now, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and undermine the image she had painstakingly cultivated. So, despite her many frustrations, she could only swallow them silently.
But Jia Zhangshi, standing by, was not one to sit still. Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's words, her eyes widened, her hands on her hips, and she looked at him without a shred of weakness, loudly retorting, "Just because you're the eldest son, you think you're so great? This house isn't yours, Liu Haizhong, so why should you take over more space? Could it be that this courtyard is yours?"
Liu Haizhong was about to open his mouth to fight back, but Jia Zhang's legs suddenly went weak, and she sat down on the ground with a plop, slapping the ground with her hands and howling at the top of her lungs: "Fugui, Dongxu, you spirits in heaven please open your eyes and see, Liu Haizhong is bullying us orphans and widows, and he's even shitting on our necks. Come out and help me, I can't live like this..." The cry was sharp and piercing, and it sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet yard.
You know, in this era, people are more or less superstitious. Jia Zhang's crying and shouting the name of the deceased, as if she could really call the deceased back to life, made everyone present feel a chill, especially Liu Haizhong, who was frightened by this sudden change and turned slightly pale. He looked at Yi Zhonghai in panic and said with a hint of help: "Old Yi, look at you, what are you doing? This is unreasonable!"
Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Zhang making a fuss, so he hurried over and asked anxiously, "Jia Zhang, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Don't cry here." But Jia Zhang acted as if she didn't hear him. She ignored Yi Zhonghai and sat on the ground, crying so sadly with tears and snot running down her face.
Qin Huairu was no fool. After a moment's thought, she understood what Jia Zhang was up to. She turned to look at Liu Haizhong, her tone questioning: "Master, look at the situation in our family now. What is your position in the courtyard? How can you have the nerve to do such a thing?" Liu Haizhong was of course aware of the Jia family's situation. He wanted to say something, but he thought that he would just take the blame and let the matter go. Otherwise, it would be a big deal if the situation remained stalemated.
But just when Liu Haizhong was about to open his mouth, Yan Bugui suddenly winked at Yan Jiekuang and said in a low voice: "Jiekuang, go and kick the door open." Yan Jiekuang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and without saying a word, he strode towards Liu Haizhong's house. When he reached the door, he gathered all his strength and kicked it hard. Who would have thought that Yi Zhonghai had not closed the door when he came just now? Yan Jiekuang kicked it down, and the door was kicked open with a "clang". The huge reaction force made his body sway several times, and he almost fell down.
When Yan Bugui saw this scene, he frowned and looked at Yan Jiekuang unhappily and said, "Can you be more calm? If you hurt yourself, you will have to spend money to treat it. Do you know that?" Yan Jiekuang originally thought that his father cared about him, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt lost. It turned out that his father still cared about money.
Liu Haizhong was just about to say something to lighten the mood when Yan Jiekuang and Yan Bugui suddenly walked in. Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai, then at Liu Haizhong, completely bewildered. She was wondering, this had been kept secret for so long, and she had originally planned to wait until they moved in before letting them know, but what was going on now?
At this moment, almost everyone in the room was confused by this sudden situation. Yi Zhonghai was the fastest to react. He quickly put on a smile, looked at Yan Bugui, and asked as if nothing had happened, "Old Yan, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Yan Bugui was furious. Even at this critical moment, they were still trying to hide it from him. He looked at Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong angrily and asked, "Did something happen in the courtyard? Are you still planning to hide it from me, your uncle? I'm still confused. What's going on?"
Liu Haizhong was just about to bring up the matter of the house when Yi Zhonghai quickly got ahead of him, a smile on his face as he said slowly, "What else could it be? We're just discussing Banggeng and Liu Guangtian's return to the countryside, trying to figure out if we can come up with a solution. As you know, Liu Guangtian doesn't have to go to the countryside anymore, so we're just thinking about what to do about Banggeng."
