Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Wu Tiezhu followed the neighborhood committee member to get the key and went to open the door to the deaf old lady's house.

"There's dust in the room, please clean it yourselves."

Wu Tiezhu readily agreed. The couple gratefully saw the street office staff off.

Yu Li was extremely resentful and harbored a lot of bitterness. However, no one paid any attention to her.

Li Dagen called Li Zhenjiang into his home. He said directly, "Alright, you two have a house now. Talk to Tiezhu and Jianye and move together."

Before Li Zhenjiang could say anything, Yu Li complained, "Dad, that house is too small. It's a bit cramped for us, with Li Jianjian and Kang Kang living here. Could you and Mom move in?"

Li Dagen snorted, "You can stay if you want, or not. But what will happen to Panpan if my wife and I move in?"

Before Yu Li could say anything more, Li Zhenjiang, his eyes red, roared, "Have you made enough of a scene?"

Yu Li cried and said, "How dare you yell at me. Li Zhenjiang, I'm telling you, this isn't over."

“If it’s not over yet, then it’s not over yet,” Li Zhenjiang retorted.

Yu Li turned around angrily and went back inside to pack her things. It was obvious that she was going back to her parents' home.

Seeing that things were not going well, Li Pan said, "Brother, why don't you go and try to persuade them?"

Li Zhenjiang said, "No need, she can come back or not, it's up to her."

Yu Li, who had been dawdling while packing, sped up after hearing those words. She packed a few clothes and left the courtyard house without a word.

He Yuzhu's house was quite lively. Xu Damao and his family were all chatting in his home.

Xu Damao asked, "Brother Zhu, do you think Liu Haizhong can really apply for an apartment?"

He Yuzhu said, "If he gets promoted again, he might have a chance."

This is just something to fool Xu Damao.

Housing for cadres is not so easy to apply for.

No matter how high a position Liu Haizhong held, he was still a worker, and his reputation was also bad.

Even if Li Huaide had two times the courage, he wouldn't dare let Liu Haizhong live in the building.

Not to mention Liu Haizhong, even Xu Damao, who later became the vice chairman of the singing committee, lived in a courtyard house.

Xu Damao didn't understand any of this, and his eyes burned even more intensely.

"We've made a deal, you have to put in a good word for me."

He Yuzhu said, "I understand. But let me remind you, once you become an official, don't end up like Liu Haizhong, incurring the wrath of both heaven and man."

Xu Damao agreed nonchalantly.

He Yuzhu knew that this reminder wouldn't work. He didn't care.

In terms of ruthlessness, Xu Damao is actually no match for Liu Haizhong.

That guy with the bangs will go to any lengths to ruin someone. Xu Damao is bad too, but he won't completely crush someone.

However, he has many ways to play pranks on people.

This is also why he was more favored by Li Huaide.

Xu Xiaoling sat to the side, pursing her lips, but didn't remind Xu Damao. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but it would have been pointless anyway.

"Brother, you should take care of yourself first. Mom told me to remind you that if things don't get better, you should go to the hospital."

The doctor said you'd be fully recovered in about six months. But it's been over six months already.

Xu Damao glared at her: "I don't need you to remind me. Do you think I don't want to take care of myself? I often go to the countryside, and I'm exhausted every time. How am I supposed to take care of myself?"

"Only when I become a leader and don't have to travel around anymore will I have time."

This guy really knows how to make excuses.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to expose him.

He had been more than enough to Xu Damao, letting him know in advance why he couldn't have children and even giving him precious spiritual spring water to drink.

If he never has children in his life, he can only blame himself for not being able to control himself.

While they were discussing what to eat for dinner at He Yuzhu's house, Yi Zhonghai came out of the house.

"Huai Ru, come to my house for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Qin Huai nodded, went home to comfort Jia Zhangshi, and then went into Yi Zhonghai's room.

"Uncle, what do you want with me?" Yi Zhonghai hesitated. He had considered confronting Qin Huairu and asking her to plead for him, but the words just wouldn't come out.

He quickly put that concern out of his mind.

"Huai Ru, what's your relationship with Director Li like?"

Qin Huairu looked surprised and said with a wronged expression, "Uncle, he is the head of the steel rolling mill. I am just a worker. What relationship could I have with him?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "What are you hiding from me? If you had no relationship with him, why would he give you so much meat during the New Year?"

Also, why did you suddenly stop when Director Jin was making things difficult for you?

Qin Huairu sobbed, "I can't do anything about it. He's the deputy factory director, and I'm just a lowly worker."

I couldn't stop him from doing what he wanted.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately understood that the relationship between the two was quite close.

The workers all knew about Li Huaide's womanizing ways, but no one dared to make a fuss about it.

He didn't intend to cause a scene, and in his view, it wasn't a big deal.

If you want to make a living, you can't avoid being cuckolded a little.

Without this touch of green, how could the Jia family survive?

"Huai Ru, you've seen it too. In our institute, the only way to have real power is to become a leader."

I'm stuck in the yard right now and can't speak up, so I can't help your family.

Qin Huai, being a very intelligent person, immediately understood Yi Zhonghai's meaning.

Actually, she had always had a question in her mind: why was Li Huaide targeting Yi Zhonghai so much?

This time, she took the opportunity to ask, "Sir, can you tell me exactly how you offended Director Li?"

When this was brought up, Yi Zhonghai was completely baffled. He genuinely had no idea what he had done to offend Li Huaide.

"Huai Ru, I won't lie to you, I really didn't know. If I had to say I offended him, it would probably be by siding with Yang Peishan. But I only did that because of what the deaf old lady said."

She told me that Yang Peishan would be a leader in the steel rolling mill in the future, which is why I joined Yang Peishan's team.

If I had known earlier that Yang Peishan was so unreliable and that following him would bring no benefit whatsoever, I definitely would not have gone under his wing.

That statement sounds a bit guilty.

Yang Peishan was truly not a good leader. Few people benefited from following him.

Yi Zhonghai, however, was an exception.

Without Yang Peishan, Yi Zhonghai would definitely not have been able to maintain his level six worker status.

Qin Huairu thought about it carefully and decided to ask on Yi Zhonghai's behalf. In the courtyard, only Yi Zhonghai was truly good to her. Helping Yi Zhonghai was also helping herself.

Another point is that Yi Zhonghai is childless; no matter how much he gets, it will all eventually belong to her.

She desperately wanted Yi Zhonghai to get mountains of gold and silver.

Putting everything else aside, if Yi Zhonghai could be allocated an apartment, Bang Geng could get married in that apartment in the future.

"Uncle, I'll ask around for you tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction, once again feeling that Qin Huairu was filial.

When Qin Huairu returned home, Jia Zhangshi stared at her and asked, "What does that old man want with you?"

Qin Huairu naturally dared not tell the truth. His relationship with Li Huaide was something he couldn't discuss.

"He didn't say anything. He was a little envious when he saw that his second uncle had become a leader."

Jia Zhangshi said, "I never expected that idiot Liu Haizhong would be so lucky to be assigned a cadre apartment."

"If Dongxu hadn't died, things would have been so much better. With his abilities, he could definitely have become a leader and led our family to live in an apartment building."

Qin Huai rolled her eyes and ignored Jia Zhangshi.

"By the way, where's Jingru?"

Jia Zhangshi said, "I don't know. She's probably wandering around somewhere again. You should let her go quickly."

She's been eating and drinking for free at our house for so long. Everyone in the city is unemployed, and this country girl wants a job? Dream on. (End of Chapter)
