Chapter 57 Differential Treatment(1/2)
The Spring Festival of the sixteenth year of Yongxing was the worst New Year the Yan family ever had.
Originally, due to the arrival of Mrs. Yan and the third bedroom, this was supposed to be the most tidy year for the Yan family. However, from the end of the year to the beginning of the new year, the Yan family was enveloped in a dull and depressing atmosphere.
There is no way, Mrs. Yan, who has the highest status in the family, and Mrs. Li, who holds the financial power, are not happy, and the others cannot be happy even if they want to.
When dealing with outsiders, for the sake of the Yan family's face, Mrs. Li would take care of herself and prepare all kinds of New Year items; but for the Yan family's own use, Mrs. Li was very perfunctory.
During the Chinese New Year in previous years, Mrs. Li would also give New Year's gifts to each room. This year, let alone the New Year's gifts, they are just some food, daily necessities, and clothing. There are many things that are not prepared. Every day, the servants are let out temporarily.
Bought.
But during the Chinese New Year, most shops are closed, so how much can you buy?
In this way, it will be a good year!
It was also this time that everyone was shocked to realize that Mrs. Li, who had always been virtuous and respectful, also had a fierce side. In the past, she just didn't touch her bottom line, so she didn't care.
Now that Daohua is here, her bottom line has been revealed.
This time Mrs. Li did it so obviously and ruthlessly, she was telling everyone in the Yan family that her daughter was her bottom line, and whoever made her daughter unhappy, she would make everyone unhappy with her.
New Year's Eve.
The Yan family's New Year's Eve meal is also very ordinary, just the usual chicken, duck and fish.
In previous years, no matter how busy she was, Mrs. Li would prepare a few special or exquisite meals, but this year, there was none of them.
Although everyone didn't show it on their faces, they were still very disappointed in their hearts.
Although the Yan family is the county magistrate's family, the daily food and clothing expenses are only slightly better than that of ordinary families. Therefore, both adults and children are actually looking forward to eating better during the Chinese New Year.
Shuangxinyuan.
Aunt Lin stood alone at the entrance of the courtyard, watching Yan Zhigao lead Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin out of the courtyard with longing eyes.
"Go back to the house quickly. It's very cold outside. After dinner, I will send Yi Shuang and Wen Bin back to accompany you." Yan Zhigao ignored the reluctance in Aunt Lin's eyes. After saying this, he quickly
He took a pair of children and left.
Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin turned around to see Aunt Lin standing alone at the door looking at them, and their eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Yan Wenbin pulled Yan Zhigao: "Father, can't we bring my aunt with us? In previous years, my aunt also went to the New Year's Eve dinner."
Yan Zhigao rubbed his forehead, not knowing what to say.
If he took Mrs. Lin to Songheyuan today, not to mention his mother, or even his wife, they would all be furious, and they would not even think about eating tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.
He also didn't expect that slapping his eldest daughter would trigger such a big reaction from his mother and wife.
Yan Yishuang said weakly: "Father, is it because of my eldest sister?"
Yan Zhigao rubbed Yan Yishuang's head and sighed: "It has nothing to do with your eldest sister. Let's go. We'll be late and there won't be anything to eat."
At the door of Shuangxinyuan, seeing that Yan Zhigao did not turn back to call her, Aunt Lin's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment.
She had predicted that no matter how angry the old lady was, she would never show mercy to her son; but she did not expect that the old lady would be so decisive and merciless this time.
The Yan family's financial resources are too thin, and Mrs. Li needs to be in charge of daily expenses and management. Therefore, even if the master cherishes her, if Mrs. Li becomes resolute, he will not disgrace her too much.
Therefore, she can only be aggrieved.
"There's no rush, let's take our time." Aunt Lin's eyes became firm. She didn't believe that a man would allow himself to be suppressed by his wife all the time. The more obvious Mrs. Li does now, the more disgusted the master will be in the future.
p>
Look, the big girl she gave birth to was beaten just as the master said?
At the same time, Songheyuan.
The people in the second and third bedrooms have arrived long ago and are currently accompanying Mrs. Yan to do household chores.
The grandchildren tried their best to make the old lady happy, but unfortunately, the old lady kept looking absentmindedly at the entrance of the courtyard.
Yan Wenjie touched Yan Wenxiu next to him with his crutch, and whispered: "Brother, why are our grandmothers so different from those of other families? The old ladies of other families like their grandchildren more, so how come they only care about them when it comes to our family?"
Where is the granddaughter?"
"That's because the eldest sister is cute and adorable!"
Before Yan Wenxiu could speak, Yan Wenkai on the side took over.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yan Wenjie sneered: "Pleasing? If the eldest sister is really lovable, how could she be slapped by her uncle?"
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai suddenly stood up and looked at Yan Wenjie angrily: "What do you mean?"
Yan Wenjie was not afraid of Yan Wenkai, and snorted coldly: "Why am I wrong? The eldest sister did something herself, but she still refused to admit it. She was slapped by her uncle and still refused to admit her mistake, which made it impossible for everyone to live a new year.
OK..."
"Bang!"
Before Yan Wenjie could finish speaking, he was punched by Yan Wenkai and fell to the ground.
"I told you to talk nonsense, I told you to talk nonsense!"
When Yan Wenkai saw Yan Wenjie fall to the ground, he immediately sat on him, his fists raining down, and he kept hitting him with crackling sounds.
It happened so suddenly, and Yan Wenkai's movements were so quick, that Yan Wenjie was beaten until he screamed and screamed, and only then did the others react.
"Wenjie!"
When Mrs. Sun saw her son being beaten, she immediately rushed over.
Seeing that he was about to pounce on Yan Wenkai, Yan Zhiyuan immediately stepped forward, pulled Yan Wenkai up, threw him to his son Yan Wentao, and then went to help Yan Wenjie.
Yan Wenjie grinned and was helped up.
Yan Wenkai is not stupid. Except for the first punch that hit Yan Wenjie's face, all the others hit him, so Yan Wenjie seemed to be fine.
"Wen Kai, why did you hit your second brother?" Sun asked Yan Wenkai angrily.
Yan Wenkai: "Who told him to be mean-mouthed and make random arrangements for my eldest sister!"

Yan Wenjie rubbed his face and looked at Yan Wenkai angrily: "What nonsense am I talking about? Isn't it because of my eldest sister that we spent the Chinese New Year like this? In the past years, when she didn't come, how lively was the house?"
"Look at what we're doing this year. We don't even have new clothes, and we only eat ordinary food. Is this called the New Year? Fortunately, my uncle is the head of a county. I don't think a pian's family has a good life."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.
Even Sun and Yan Zhiyuan did not expect that their usually alert son would say such words at this time.
Mrs. Yan, who was sitting on the step, was even more furious. Her hand trembling while pointing at Yan Wenjie.
Just when everyone was silent, Mrs. Li opened the curtain and walked in, looking at Yan Wenjie expressionlessly: "It seems that I, the head of the family and the director, are not as good as your Second Young Master Yan!"
"In this way, from now on, your mother will take care of this family. From now on, you, the Second Young Master Yan, can do whatever you want. What do you think?"
Yan Wenjie was frightened the moment Mrs. Li appeared and immediately shrank behind his mother.
When he saw the ordinary New Year's Eve dinner, he felt a fire in his heart. When Yan Wenkai jumped out, he didn't think much about it and expressed all the irritability in his heart.
I never thought that my aunt would hear it.
Mrs. Sun immediately stepped forward to apologize: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? What kind of housekeeper doesn't care about the house? Don't you know how many pounds I have? But you don't dare to say such things again."
"I didn't teach Wenjie well. He lost his mind and went crazy today. I will punish him well when I get back." She wanted to take care of the house, but how could she have the money to support the Yan family's expenses?
Daohua, who had followed Mrs. Li, walked into the room at this time. Without looking at the other people, she went straight to the old lady's step and looked at the old lady with a smile: "Grandma."
A smile appeared on Mrs. Yan's lips: "Your second brother is talking nonsense, don't listen to him."
Daohua smiled and nodded, her smile not reaching her eyes: "I know."
Sun pushed Yan Wenjie: "Why don't you go and apologize to your eldest sister?"
Yan Wenjie stepped forward a little uncomfortably, saying bad things about people behind their backs was heard by the person involved, which was very embarrassing.
"Sister, I was just joking with Wen Kai, I didn't mean to say anything to you."
Daohua also smiled and nodded, as if she had forgiven Yan Wenjie, but she didn't say anything.
At this time, Yan Zhigao came with Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin.
When they saw Daohua sitting next to Mrs. Yan, Yan Zhigao and Yan Yishuang felt a little uncomfortable.
Of the two fathers and daughters, one slapped Daohua, and the other lied and got Daohua slapped. Now it’s strange to see the parties concerned feel at ease.
Daohua glanced at the two of them lightly, then leaned into Mrs. Yan's ear and said: "Grandma, I just saw the second brother kicking the fourth brother. I will take the fourth brother down now to have a look."
Mrs. Yan nodded: "Go back quickly."
Daohua smiled and agreed, then slipped out, pulling Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao away.
It wasn't until she left Songheyuan that Daohua looked at Yan Wenkai with a smile and gave him a thumbs up: "Fourth brother, you looked so handsome when you beat Yan Wenjie just now." She didn't even want to call her second brother now.
.
Yan Wenkai was instantly proud and raised his head: "Really! Sister, let me tell you, your fourth brother, I am very powerful. Don't worry, I will beat anyone who dares to bully you in the future."
Yan Wentao took over: "I can also help."
Daohua looked at her two brothers with a smile, and her mood improved unknowingly: "Let's go, I'll prepare something delicious for you."
