Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After Li Zhenjiang took Yu Li out the door, the couple started arguing quietly.

Yu Li said to Li Zhenjiang with dissatisfaction, "Why did you pull me? Don't you know it's hard to find a house these days?"

Li Zhenjiang's face darkened: "Shut up."

He pulled Yu Li forcefully back home.

Qin Huairu, in the Intermediate People's Court, listened intently to their conversation.

A thought struck her: the deaf old woman's house.

Qin Huai couldn't sit still any longer and ran home. Madam Jia was sleeping in bed, a smile still playing on her lips.

The deaf old lady is leaving, and no one will be competing with her for food anymore.

Qin Huairu woke her up: "Mom, don't sleep."

Jia Zhangshi was woken up and immediately started to scold Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu reacted quickly and stopped her: "I have something very important to tell you."

Only then did Madam Jia temporarily let Qin Huairu off the hook. She decided that if Qin Huairu said anything wrong later, she would settle both the old and new scores with her.

"whats the matter?"

Qin Huai glanced at the doorway like a thief and whispered, "The deaf old lady is moving out in a couple of days; it's her house."

Jia Zhangshi perked up: "Her house is of course ours. Go and ask Yi Zhonghai for it."

Qin Huai said worriedly, "I'm afraid that the other people in the courtyard will also have their eyes on the deaf old lady's house."

Jia Zhangshi said fiercely, "They dare."

Qin Huairu said, "That's a house, what wouldn't they dare to do? I just heard Yu Li and Li Zhenjiang arguing."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi also felt worried: "What are you still standing there for? Go find Yi Zhonghai."

He took care of the deaf old lady because of her house.

"This is something he should handle."

Qin Huairu said, "Then I'll go find an old man. Don't cause any trouble."

Madam Jia, knowing the priorities, immediately agreed. As long as she could get the house, she didn't care what Qin Huairu did.

"Go quickly."

Qin Huairu said with distress, "The old man hasn't come back yet. Let's wait until he returns."

There are many clever people in the courtyard, and Yan Bugui from the front yard is one of them.

He gathered his children together to discuss important matters.

Yan Jiefang said, "Why did you call us here? Did you agree to split the family property?"

Yan Bugui glared at him: "We'll talk about dividing the family property later. What I want to talk about now is the deaf old lady's house."

Upon hearing about housing, Yan Jiefang stopped making a fuss. He was of marriageable age and it was time to consider the issue of housing.

"Can you get me a house for a deaf old lady?"

Yan Jiecheng was displeased upon hearing this: "This is not fair. Why should the deaf old lady's house be given to you? I am the eldest son in the family, so the house should be given to me."

Yan Jiefang said with dissatisfaction, "You already have a house, why are you still eyeing the deaf old lady's house?"

Hao Min then said, "Jiefang, you can't say that. If we take the deaf old lady's house, we can give you the house we live in now."

Your brother is the eldest in the family, so he should live in a good house.

Seeing that an argument was about to break out, Yan Bugui slammed his hand on the table.

"That's enough. We haven't even gotten the house yet, what are you arguing about?"

The three women said, "Old Yi has always taken care of the deaf old lady. Now that she's no longer living in the courtyard, the house will definitely be left to Old Yi. Do you think Old Yi will give the house to us?"

Yan Bugui said, "It all depends on human effort. Old Yi is all alone now, he doesn't need that many houses."

The three women thought it made sense: "Then wait for him to come back and have a good talk with him."

Yan Bugui nodded: "I will definitely discuss it with him. But this time we'll have to spend some money."

I'm going to buy him a drink.

"Of course," Yan Jiecheng said.

Others nodded.

Yan Bugui then looked at the group and said, "Since you've all agreed, you can discuss how to pay for the meal." The Yan family children fell silent at the mention of money.

Yan Jiekuang said, "I'm still in school, where would I get that much money? Besides, it's not my turn to buy a house, why should I pay for it?"

Yan Jiedi shared the same idea and was unwilling to pay.

They were not good at other subjects in school, but their math scores were excellent.

Yan Bugui valued fairness and knew the two men were right. Since they weren't his target, he let them go.

"Jiecheng, Jiefang, are you willing to pay this money?"

The two brothers hesitated, looking at each other, neither willing to speak easily.

“The house you want is mine. I’ll pay for it,” Yan Jiefang said after thinking for a while.

Yan Jiecheng was still hesitating. He was the eldest son in the family and had studied under Yan Bugui the longest. In terms of being stingy, he was very much like Yan Bugui.

Hao Min thought for a moment, then kicked him under the table.

Pressed by his wife, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to say, "The house belongs to me. I'll only pay for it if it's mine."

Yan Bugui said, "Stop arguing. Let's get the house first, then we can discuss how to divide it. You can each have half for now, and we'll talk about the rest later."

"It's settled then. We need to get this done before anyone else."

For the sake of the house, the two Yan brothers had no choice but to agree.

Once outside the house, Yan Jiecheng looked at Hao Min in confusion: "Why did you kick me?"
We have a house to live in now, why waste money unnecessarily?

Hao Min rolled her eyes at him: "Are you stupid? If we move to the backyard, we can cook for ourselves."

Separating from my parents is a natural progression.

Yan Jiecheng thought about it and realized that made sense, so he laughed and said, "Wife, you're so smart."

"What a disgrace." Hao Min glared at him and went back to their room.

After Yan Bugui received the money, he asked his second aunt to prepare the meal.

"Don't forget to buy a bottle of wine."

The third aunt was reluctant and said, "Don't we have wine at home?"

Yan Bugui said calmly, "They don't drink that bottle of wine. Just buy another one."

The three women had no choice but to agree.

Yan Bugui was blocking Yi Zhonghai's way at the door. When he saw Yi Zhonghai come in, he forcibly dragged him into the house.

When Yi Zhonghai saw the food on the table, his eyes nearly popped out of his head in surprise.

"Old Yan, the sun must have risen in the west today."

Yan Bugui said, "I was just trying to comfort you because I was worried you were in a bad mood."

Yi Zhonghai didn't believe it, but he was indeed very frustrated. After leaving the deaf old lady's house, he just wanted to find a place to vent his frustration.

However, when I'm out and about and see other people with their families, I feel even worse.

In the end, I thought of Qin Huairu and felt that there was still hope for my old age, which made me feel a little better.

Seeing the food and drinks prepared by Yan Bugui, he also wanted to sit down and vent his frustrations.

When Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai sit down, he immediately smiled and said, "Hurry up and cook. My family isn't well-off, so this is all the food and wine we can prepare. Please don't mind."

When the topic of alcohol came up, Yi Zhonghai was a little worried and said, "I have another bottle of wine in my room. Why don't you drink mine?"

Yan Bugui, afraid that he would run away and not come back, quickly stopped him: "No need. I just bought this wine, I haven't even opened it yet, you can see for yourself."

Yi Zhonghai was relieved after confirming that the wine was indeed freshly purchased.

"Then I'll drink yours today. I'll treat you in a couple of days."

Yan Bugui's opportunistic nature kicked in, and he pulled Yi Zhonghai aside, saying, "It's settled then."

Yi Zhonghai was taken aback, then said helplessly, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."

Yan Bugui pulled Yi Zhonghai to sit down and they started talking about the deaf old lady.

The topic they talked about most during that time was filial piety, which was Yi Zhonghai's favorite subject.

Yi Zhonghai also vented his frustration. (End of Chapter)
