Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Looking at the deaf old woman, Yi Zhonghai was filled with remorse.

He never imagined that things would turn out like this.

If he had known earlier, he would never have tormented the deaf old lady, much less have taken advantage of her status as a fake martyr's family member.

But now it's too late.

Over the years, he has done a lot for the deaf old lady.

They had originally hoped that after the deaf old lady died, they could inherit her estate to make up for the losses.

Is there any hope left?
Yi Zhonghai didn't know.

But it still hurts my heart.

His contributions to the Jia family over the years were initially motivated by a desire to provide financial support for He Yuzhu.

Later, he hoped to make amends by getting help from the deaf old lady.

Without these two supports, he wouldn't have been so generous in giving money to the Jia family.

The deaf old lady is still alive and won't give him her assets. What will happen to his losses?
Yi Zhonghai sat in the deaf old lady's house with a complicated expression.

The deaf old lady naturally understood his thoughts and had no complaints.

Those things were originally intended for Yi Zhonghai. After she died, it was impossible to take them to the afterlife.

However, she never expected things to escalate to this point.

"Zhonghai".

“Godmother, what is it?” Yi Zhonghai responded immediately upon hearing the deaf old lady’s greeting.

The deaf old woman sighed, "I'm leaving here, and I won't be able to help you anymore."

The light in Yi Zhonghai's eyes dimmed: "Godmother, I can't bear to part with you."

Even the deaf old lady couldn't bear to part with her godson; such an obedient godson is a rare find in the world.

"I've been so grateful for your care all these years. In my heart, I really consider you my own son."

"Mother..." Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but call out.

The deaf old woman, tears streaming down her face, reached out and grasped Yi Zhonghai's hand: "Good child, with you calling me 'Mother,' I have no regrets in this life."

Yi Zhonghai also grasped the deaf old lady's hand.

The deaf old woman continued, "Before I leave, let me tell you, the Jia family is not a good family to rely on in your old age. You can't put all your eggs in one basket with the Jia family."

have to.

The warmth was shattered by the deaf old lady's words.

Yi Zhonghai looked displeased: "Mother, why do you have such a strong prejudice against Huairu?"

I admit that Huai Ru has flaws.

But in terms of diligence and filial piety, no one can compare to her.

When Dongxu was alive, she and Dongxu promised me that they would take care of me in my old age.

On the surface, they are my apprentices, but in private, they call me godfather.

I didn't make this public because of my sister-in-law.

The deaf old lady was reluctant to part, but Yi Zhonghai's words broke her heart.

Her face fell: "You really are a qualified godfather."

Yi Zhonghai blushed slightly, but quickly recovered. He didn't think there was anything wrong between him and Qin Huairu; they were truly in love.

If he had known earlier that the older woman would be so heartless, he should have married Qin Huairu back then.

In that case, his and Qin Huairu's son would be old enough to run errands.

As for the rumors that he couldn't have children, Yi Zhonghai didn't believe them.

He felt that he was at most like Xu Damao, suffering from some kind of oligospermia.

Asthenospermia simply means a lower chance of getting pregnant, not that you can't have children.

Yi Zhonghai's thoughts wandered, and he forgot that he was chatting with a deaf old lady.

The deaf old woman was also very troubled by his appearance. She really couldn't understand what charm Qin Huairu possessed that could make Yi Zhonghai so devoted to her.

"That's enough, I'm tired, you can go back now."

Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. He would listen to the deaf old lady on other matters, but not on Qin Huairu's.

After Yi Zhonghai left, the deaf old lady couldn't help but cry.

If she goes to a nursing home, there will be no one to take care of her. More importantly, after she dies, no one will remember her anymore.

This is not the life she wanted.

After crying for a while, the deaf old lady recovered. She was determined to save herself.

With Director Pan and Director Wang handling matters concerning the families of martyrs, things won't escalate into a public scandal.

She doesn't need to care about these things.

The real problem is how to stay in the courtyard house.

The deaf old lady knew that if she wanted to stay, only one person could ask for her permission.

That person was He Yuzhu.

The deaf old lady decided to try, even if it meant begging, to get He Yuzhu's consent.

She slowly walked out of the house.

When the second aunt saw her, her eyes were distant, clearly indicating that she had also heard about the deaf old lady's departure.

The deaf old woman ignored her and walked towards the central courtyard.

At the Intermediate People's Court, He Yuzhu's home was quite lively, with laughter frequently heard from inside.

By the pool, Qin Huai stared blankly at He Yuzhu's house, unable to hide the envy in her eyes.

This is not surprising.

Many people in the courtyard envied He Yuzhu and his friends' lives. Qin Huairu was simply the most obvious in showing it.

Qin Huairu saw the deaf old woman and turned her head away. She learned from Yi Zhonghai that the deaf old woman would be leaving in a couple of days.

A deaf old woman who had been driven away was of no use to her, so why should she put up with the deaf old woman's temper?

A surge of anger welled up inside the deaf old woman. Normally, she would have given Qin Huairu a good scolding.

She didn't believe that Yi Zhonghai would dare to turn against her because of this.

The deaf old woman sighed, suppressing her anger. Right now, the most important thing for her was to get He Yuzhu's promise to take care of her.

Dang Dang Dang.

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Damao, who was closest to the door, stood up and opened it: "Who is it?"

There was no answer from outside. When she opened the door, she heard someone say, "Deaf old lady, what brings you here?"

The deaf old lady's expression darkened when she saw Xu Damao. She and Xu Damao were simply incompatible.

However, the deaf old lady was very clear about her purpose and did not argue with Xu Damao: "I came to find Zhuzi."

The people inside had already fallen silent upon hearing the deaf old woman's voice; they all stared quietly at the doorway.

Upon hearing the deaf old woman's words, He Yuzhu asked, "What do you want with me?"

The deaf old woman raised her cane, which startled Xu Damao, who quickly stepped back. He then took the opportunity to come in and close the door.

He Yuzhu cursed the coward in his heart, then stared at the deaf old lady.

He Yuzhu could actually guess her intentions. The deaf old lady probably wanted to stay in the courtyard house through him.

The deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu's room, where there was no shortage of melon seeds, peanuts, and fruit, and a fleeting look of envy crossed her eyes.

These were the days she was supposed to enjoy.

"Pillar, I've come to beg you. I don't want to go to the nursing home."

"As long as you promise to take care of me in my old age, everything I own will be yours. And let me tell you, I have quite a few gold bars."

Upon hearing the word "gold bars," Xu Damao swallowed hard. Although he earned a lot, he also spent a lot. Since he started living independently, he hadn't saved much money.

This tactic didn't work on He Yuzhu.

Although he didn't know how much the deaf old lady's assets were, he knew they wouldn't be too much.

Qin Huai had complained about this in her dream, which was overheard by Sha Zhu. However, the fool simply didn't pursue the matter further.

After the deaf old lady died, Yi Zhonghai looked particularly unwell for a period of time.

Sha Zhu thought it was because Yi Zhonghai was sad, but He Yuzhu knew that it wasn't.

The deaf old lady may have some wealth, but definitely not as much as she claimed.

If we're talking about valuable assets, it's her house.

But it will take 30 or 40 years for the house to become valuable.

In such a long time, He Yuzhu could have earned enough to buy countless courtyard houses. What is a mere house compared to that?

"You should go find your godson. I'm used to being free and have no intention of finding an ancestor for myself."

Hearing He Yuzhu's decisive refusal, the deaf old woman bent over. (End of Chapter)
