Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yi Zhonghai isn't stupid. At this point, he'd rather find a few more people to take the blame than jump into the pit himself.

"Sister-in-law, stop being so unreasonable. It was Huairu who first came up with the idea."

During the meeting, Director Wang heard everything Huai Ru said.

Why should I bear this alone?

Jia Zhangshi said, "If you don't want to be alone, that's fine too. You can take Yan Bugui with you."

You two are the only ones in the compound who know the "family of martyrs" thing is fake, so it's good that you two keep each other company.

If you feel lonely with just the two of you, you can try to fool that idiot in the bangs.

"It's perfect that the three of you old men can keep each other company."

Yi Zhonghai was furious. He had done so much for the Jia family with all his heart, and yet the Jia family wanted him to go out and take the fall.

"Get out of here."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai lose his temper, Jia Zhangshi was also afraid. She had known Yi Zhonghai the longest and knew what kind of person he was.

Jia Zhangshi left Yi Zhonghai's house in a panic, still feeling unsatisfied, and started cursing loudly in the yard.

Despite her foul language, she didn't forget to say what needed to be said. She completely absolved herself of responsibility, pushing all the blame onto Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't go out and argue with her, so he could only stay inside and sulk.

No one came out of the courtyard; everyone stayed inside, listening for any noise.

After the fake family member of a martyr came to light, everyone hated the deaf old lady and her friends.

They suffered so much at the hands of this deaf old woman, who was a fake family member of a martyr, that they could talk for three days and three nights without finishing recounting the mistreatment she endured.

Many people are saying the same thing: "No wonder the He family isn't afraid of the deaf old lady, a martyr's family member."

After finishing her business, Jia Zhangshi returned home and, without saying a word, slapped Qin Huairu several times.

Qin Huairu was stunned by the blow: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Madam Jia cursed under her breath, "You heartless bastard. You think you're so capable? Who gave you the idea?"

Qin Huairu knew that Yi Zhonghai had sold her out, and she wanted nothing more than to slap him a few times.

"I thought the deaf old lady was a true martyr's family member, didn't I? When Sha Zhu's family had something good, he would give it to those people outside."

I wanted to make sure the piglets ate well, so this was the only way.

Madam Jia glared at her fiercely, but didn't know what to say. The blame had been shifted, and the rest was up to fate.

"Let me tell you, if you get arrested, you absolutely cannot implicate Bang Geng. Whatever the charges, take them all on yourself."

I will train the scoundrel well so that he won't look down on you in the future.

Qin Huairu dared not go against Jia Zhangshi now, and although she was unwilling, she could only agree.

She tidied herself up and prepared to go out again.

"Where are you going?" Jia Zhangshi asked.

Qin Huairu explained, "You just offended an old man, I shouldn't have apologized."

If he gets arrested, the house will be empty. I'll find a way to get it over there and keep him occupied.

This was a serious matter, so Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to stop him. She even reminded Qin Huairu, "Don't forget about his family's money. If he goes to eat peanuts, he won't need any money."

Qin Huairu didn't answer, feeling that Jia Zhangshi was underestimating her. Did she really think she wouldn't know to get her hands on Yi Zhonghai's things?

"An old man."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at her coldly but didn't say anything. He was truly heartbroken by Jia Zhangshi.

Qin Huairu knew him too well; she could tell at a glance that he was genuinely angry. She was relieved that he hadn't thrown a tantrum and had come to calm her down in time.

"Uncle, please don't be angry. My mother-in-law was also frightened."

She was worried about Bang Geng. Bang Geng was so smart; he was destined to be a leader. She feared that this incident would affect Bang Geng.

I told her that this wasn't her fault, but she wouldn't listen.

You know my mother-in-law; she slapped me several times and then stormed out of the house.

I couldn't stop her.

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Huairu burst into tears.

This time, she didn't cover up, but generously let Yi Zhonghai see her face.

Several handprints were clearly visible on his face.

Yi Zhonghai was initially angry, but when he inadvertently glanced at the handprint, he felt a pang of heartache.

"Forget it. I know my sister-in-law is a troublemaker, I won't hold it against her." Qin Huairu then stopped crying and smiled, and leaned against Yi Zhonghai.

This trick has been tried and tested.

However, this time they failed.

Yi Zhonghai is now living in fear, and even if Chang'e were by his side, he wouldn't be in the mood for anything.

He Yushui wasn't asleep; she was listening to the noise from next door.

"Yi Zhonghai is really busy. The two widows from the Jia family keep coming to his house."

He Yuqing said helplessly, "Sister, just come and sleep. Let them do whatever they want."

He Yushui said with a hint of regret, "I feel like Yi Zhonghai is living a much better life after his divorce. He no longer has to sneak into the cellar at night."

He Yuqing was already sleeping with He Yuanting in her arms and didn't respond to her.

She had absolutely no way to deal with He Yushui's gossipy nature.

In the front yard, the Yan family, who should have turned off their lights and gone to bed, were brightly lit.

The three women, along with their children, are being interrogated in a three-way trial.

The person to be tried was Yan Bugui, the head of the family.

"Dad, you're so cruel. Just to avoid separating from us, you're dragging us all down with you."

“That’s right. Everyone says that Second Uncle is the most ruthless, but I think no one can compare to you.”

After her children finished scolding her, the third aunt also chimed in.

"What are you thinking? Why are you messing around with Lao Yi?"

Whether the deaf old lady was a martyr's family member or not was none of our business.

Now look what's happened, our family has become accomplices.

Yan Bugui didn't dare say it, but he already knew that the deaf old lady wasn't a family member of a martyr.

If this were told, the family would be in an uproar.

"If you hadn't forced me, would I have gone with Lao Yi? I raised you all with so much effort and dedication."

"You guys, now that you're all grown up, you want to fly solo. What about all the effort I've put in all these years?"

Yan Jiefang said, "How can you blame me? I'm the one who asked you to secretly write the letter of complaint against Sha Zhu."

You wrote the whistleblower letter, yet you suffered no loss; we are the ones who are unlucky.

Do you know how much I almost died from exhaustion?

Yan Jiecheng chimed in, "Exactly. I almost died from exhaustion too. Everyone knows my family reported Sha Zhu, and they all look at me differently now."

What benefits have you gained from following Yi Zhonghai every day?

"I've been Yi Zhonghai's apprentice for so many years, why doesn't he give me a little more instruction out of respect for you?"

Yan Bugui was furious.

Yan Jiefang's side couldn't refute it, but Yan Jiecheng's side was different.

"You still have the nerve to say that. Lao Yi told me that you don't work hard at your job."

"I wasn't serious? That's all your fault. I only ate that little bit of food every day, and in less than ten days, my stomach started growling and I had no energy at all."

He always taught me skills when I was starving. How was I supposed to learn?

These words left Yan Bugui speechless.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the issue of food.

But this is an issue that cannot be discussed. If the child eats more, he will leave less.

One must never do things that harm oneself to benefit others.

The family of seven argued until midnight, but still couldn't reach a conclusion.

When it comes to interests, the elderly couple share the same stance.

Even if Yan Jiecheng and his family were furious, there was nothing they could do. The old couple valued money more than their lives.

As their children, they couldn't bring themselves to drive their elderly parents to their deaths.

In the end, the three aunties felt sorry for the electricity bill and started crying, which brought the farce to an end.

As the lights were turned off at the Yan family's house, and Qin Huairu emerged from Yi Zhonghai's home, the courtyard finally returned to peace. (End of Chapter)
