Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The farce surrounding the division of the Yan family continues.

He Yuzhu, like everyone else in the courtyard, watched it all as a spectacle.

Yi Zhonghai was particularly eager to help Yan Bugui, but Liu Haizhong was nowhere to be seen.

These past two days, my bangs have been acting very strangely, making me look extremely颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or irritable) and irritable.

The way he looked at his two sons was as if he were looking at an enemy.

He Yuzhu thought for a long time before remembering one thing: Liu Guangqi had gone to Shijiazhuang with his father-in-law's family.

After leaving, Liu Guangqi never returned to the courtyard house. He didn't come back when Liu Haizhong passed away either.

When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu saw that he hadn't returned, they also went into hiding.

Sha Zhu was fooled by Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu into becoming Liu Haizhong's dutiful son and grandson.

He promised to hold a funeral for Liu Haizhong, which is how he brought Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu back.

This whole ordeal infuriated He Daqing, and he died not long afterward.

"Guangtian, what's wrong with your dad these past few days?"

Liu Guangtian whispered, "My older brother went to Shijiazhuang with his father-in-law. My dad only found out when he went to look for him. After that, he didn't like the two of us brothers."

This statement confirms He Yuzhu's conjecture.

"You two have really suffered."

Liu Guangtian's face was filled with resentment: "Who told us to steal our reincarnation?"

"By the way, Brother Zhu, an old man is looking for my dad. He says he wants to hold a hospital-wide meeting."

He Yuzhu asked in confusion, "Do you know what the meeting is for? It's not to donate money to Qin Huairu, is it?"

Liu Guangtian shook his head: "They said they need to deal with the matter of the Third Uncle dividing the family property."

I never expected Yan Jiecheng and his brothers to be so courageous this time.

He Yuzhu wasn't surprised to hear this. The Yan family had been making a scene for so many days; it was time to resolve the matter completely.

"Did your dad agree?"

Liu Guangtian shook his head: "He has no time to care about these things right now."

So, the matter of dividing the family property will fall to Yi Zhonghai.

That division of the family property is going to be quite a spectacle.

Yi Zhonghai's greatest talent is muddling through. With his meddling, small matters escalate into big problems, leaving no one satisfied.

After parting ways with Liu Guangtian, He Yuzhu found Xu Damao and asked him to remind Yan Jiecheng and his brothers.

After that, He Yuzhu stopped caring.

Today is Grandma Duan's birthday, and Duan Zicong wanted to cook something delicious for her, so he asked He Yuzhu to get some meat.

He Yuzhu was waiting for him at the intersection. When he arrived, he gave him the meat.

"Take this meat back with you. Use it to make something nice for your grandma."

Duan Zicong said gratefully, "Master, thank you so much. Here's the money for you."

He Yuzhu said, "Get lost. If you mention money again, I'll kick you out of the sect."

Rain and Sunshine are coming back today, and we'll be eating at home anyway, so we won't be going over.

As the two were talking, Qin Huairu suddenly appeared. She saw the meat in Duan Zicong's hand and reacted like a wolf seeing its prey.

"Zhuzi, Zicong, where did you get this meat from?"

He Yuzhu coldly replied, "What does this have to do with you?"

When Qin Huairu saw He Yuzhu's gaze, she immediately looked aggrieved.

She also knew that He Yuzhu didn't like her, and it would be very difficult to gain an advantage from him.

Qin Huairu then turned her gaze to Duan Zicong: "Zicong, my family hasn't had meat in a long time. Could you lend me some?"

Duan Zicong also disliked Qin Huairu and said directly, "Today is my grandma's birthday. This is to celebrate my grandma's birthday. Don't try to scheme against me."

Xu Damao also came over and said with a smile, "Sister Qin, you've got some nerve. Old Mrs. Duan is a martyr's family member, and you dare to compete with a martyr's family member for meat."

If Qin Huai weren't stupid, he wouldn't dare take on this crime. He tearfully said he didn't know and then ran away.

Xu Damao said, "How did you get cornered by her?"

He Yuzhu said, "How was I supposed to run into her? What have you been doing?"

Xu Damao said, "I'm going to buy some food. Xiaoling is coming over today, and my wife asked me to buy some meat. Perfect timing, let's eat together."

He Yuzhu agreed and told Duan Zicong to go home, then went back to the courtyard house with Xu Damao.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the voices of several girls. These were some of the girls who had gone to university; they had all returned.

However, to see them, one still needs to get past Yan Bugui.

The farce at the Yan family's house did not stop him from blocking the door.

"Pillar……"

He Yuzhu ignored him: "If you want to report me, hurry up. If you report me now, you can catch me red-handed."

Yan Bugui suddenly felt embarrassed.

Xu Damao joined in the mockery: "By the way, you'd better seize the opportunity."

Go before we eat the pillars, once they're ready.

That way, even if we get arrested, you can still pack up these dishes.

Hearing the commotion at the door, Miao Jianye deliberately came out from the middle courtyard.

"Xu Damao, you're wrong. If you get arrested, the cooked dishes will be evidence of your crimes."

The evidence will be taken away.

Yan Bugui won't get any.

Xu Damao was already used to Miao Jianye's targeting of Yan Bugui, and laughed: "So, he won't get anything by reporting me?"

He Yuzhu said, "How could we not get him? His prestige will directly surpass Yi Zhonghai's. From now on, when he stands at the door, you should give him at least half of what you have when you pass by."

Otherwise, you'll have to come and keep me company.

Yan Bugui blushed deeply with embarrassment.

Seeing that the three were getting increasingly absurd, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and said, "Enough. Old Yan is your elder, after all... you..."

He Yuzhu interrupted him: "See? This guy got anxious as soon as he heard that Yan Bugui's prestige was going to surpass his."

Xu Damao said with a wicked smile, "Don't be in such a hurry. You can wait until Yan Bugui reports him, then team up with others to isolate him and force him to leave."

This is called making an example of someone.

From then on, no one in the courtyard dared to disobey you.

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that the firepower would be directed at him again. He snorted and turned to go home.

Yan Bugui also quietly slipped away.

After being defeated at the first hurdle and failing to return from the second, the road home is now smooth and easy.

The people in the courtyard looked at each other, their wariness even more evident in their eyes.

As for Qin Huairu, after separating from He Yuzhu, she started muttering curses under her breath.

She came out this time specifically to buy meat. Yi Zhonghai wanted to ask the deaf old lady to stand up for him, so he took out two yuan, intending to buy some meat to appease her.

When Qin Huai saw the meat in He Yuzhu's hand, she thought about wanting some so that the two yuan that Yi Zhonghai gave her would be hers.

Unfortunately, not only did they fail to get any meat, they also almost got accused by Xu Damao of stealing the meat of a fierce animal.

She had no choice but to pay for the meat. Thanks to her beauty, she quickly bought the meat the butcher was about to take home.

Clutching the steamed bun that was still a little sore from being kneaded, Qin Huairu's eyes were filled with contemplation.

She couldn't understand where He Yuzhu bought the meat, given the tight meat supply in Beijing.

If only she had that kind of connection, then steamed buns wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

Back in the alley, Qin Huairu began her performance again.

"Aunt Qian, chatting?"

"Hey, Qin Huairu, how come you're willing to buy meat today?"

"Hey, isn't this the deaf old lady in our compound who's not feeling well? I'm taking care of her now, and I was thinking of helping her recover."

I borrowed some meat coupons from my coworkers at the factory to treat her to a little something to eat.

"You are so filial. Even your own daughter wouldn't do what you do."

Before the deaf old lady even got to eat meat, Qin Huairu's reputation for filial piety had already spread throughout the alley.

Those idle old women even compared He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, spontaneously belittling them to praise Qin Huairu. (End of Chapter)
