Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After the aroma of food wafted out of the house, Xu Damao came over from the backyard.

He Yushui asked, "What news did you hear?"

Xu Damao said, "I didn't hear anything. Liu Haizhong asked Second Aunt to guard the door."

By the way, I saw Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui just went to the backyard.

He Yuzhu said, "Let them go. The three of them are definitely plotting how to deal with you."

Xu Damao retorted defiantly, "That's how they're going to deal with you, isn't it? Let me tell you, Liu Haizhong has recently arranged for people to closely monitor your cafeteria. You'd better be careful."

He Yuzhu didn't want to argue with him and said, "Let's eat."

In the backyard, when Liu Haizhong saw Yi Zhonghai coming over, he let go of his lackeys and chased them away.

"Old Yi, you're here. Those two good-for-nothings are useless; they can't even track people properly."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai said with some concern, "Could it be that Sha Zhu discovered them?"

Liu Haizhong said, "They said that Sha Zhu didn't notice them."

Yi Zhonghai still had some doubts: "Then why didn't they follow Sha Zhu?"

"They said Sha Zhu went to Wangfujing, where there are many people. Once Sha Zhu disappears into the crowd, he'll be hard to find."

Yi Zhonghai's suspicions were not dispelled: "Old Yan, didn't Sha Zhu say anything when he came back?"

Yan Bugui said, "No. Lao Yi, do you suspect that Sha Zhu discovered the person following us?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "I do have some doubts."

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and felt it was somewhat impossible: "Given Sha Zhu's temper, if he knew someone was following him, he would definitely teach the person who was following him a lesson."

When he came back, I didn't notice he was angry.

You're worrying unnecessarily.

Liu Haizhong said, "That's right. With so many people on the street, how could Shazhu be sure that those two were following him?"

"Why can't other people go to Wangfujing too?"

After thinking about it, Yi Zhonghai realized that he had been worrying too much.

Given He Yuzhu's temperament, he wouldn't be so calm if he discovered he was being followed.

"Maybe."

At this moment, Yan Bugui was thinking about how to gain an advantage in Liu Hai's family.

The aroma wafting from He Yuzhu's house made him really reluctant to go home and eat cornbread.

"I think you should be more careful when you're following them. Don't give yourself away."

Liu Haizhong then asked, "Where did we slip up?"

Yan Bugui pretended to be profound and said, "Don't you read the newspapers? They've written a lot about the techniques police use to track spies."

Let me tell you, tracking people is an art.

Yan Bugui is definitely a liar, so I'll stop here and leave Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai hanging in the air.

"Please continue," Liu Haizhong asked anxiously.

Yan Bugui then said, "Well, I should go home for dinner."

Yi Zhonghai immediately understood Yan Bugui's meaning. He also wanted to freeload a meal at Liu Haizhong's house.

Qin Huai may be filial, but even a clever housewife can't cook without rice.

The Jia family was so poor that no matter how filial Qin Huai was, he couldn't afford to feed him well.

If Yi Zhonghai wanted to improve his meals, he could only turn to Yan Bugui.

"Old Yan, what can compare to dealing with Sha Zhu? Old Liu is a leader now. If you give him a good plan, he won't treat you badly."

Liu Haizhong understood and, without thinking too much, said directly, "Let's have dinner at my house tonight and have a good drink together."

Yan Bugui smiled with satisfaction: "Let me tell you, from now on, when you're following Sha Zhu, you can't wear the steel mill's clothes."

"Aren't you being too obvious wearing steel mill uniforms?"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and cursed himself for being careless. He realized that the reason he was worried He Yuzhu would find out was because of this.

"Old Yan, you're right. We really shouldn't be wearing the steel mill's work clothes."

Liu Haizhong also figured it out: "Right, we can't wear work clothes. We should bring an inconspicuous outfit, just like in the movies."

"Tell me anything else you need to be careful about." Yan Bugui didn't say much, mainly because he didn't know. Newspapers wouldn't teach people how to follow people; what he was talking about were some methods for identifying spies that the neighborhood committee had taught them at a meeting back then.

With Yan Bugui's great wisdom, Yi Zhonghai's doubts were greatly reduced.

He memorized all the techniques Yan Bugui had mentioned and even figured out many ways to deal with them.

The three of them ate and talked, devising a whole plan to deal with He Yuzhu.

Originally, Liu Haizhong's intention was to deal with Xu Damao, but under the guidance of Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, it became about dealing with He Yuzhu.

While getting their hair done, the two of them didn't forget to eat and drink to their hearts' content.

The two of them ate almost all the food that Auntie Er prepared.

Of the four members of the Liu family, only Liu Haizhong ate some; the second aunt and the two children didn't get a single bite.

The second aunt couldn't help but complain: "Old Yan is so shameless. I haven't even eaten yet, and he's already packing it up."

Hearing the second aunt complain, Liu Guangtian chimed in, "And there's this old man who gives his own money to the Jia family, yet he comes to our house to freeload."

Liu Haizhong was humiliated at the steel rolling mill today, and he hasn't vented his anger yet.

Hearing Liu Guangtian's words, my hands started itching.

Then, the sound of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu crying could be heard from the Liu family.

After finishing with the two men, Liu Haizhong felt hungry and asked his second aunt to make him something else.

The second aunt was even more ruthless; she only cooked for herself and Liu Haizhong, completely ignoring her two sons.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu dared not resist, so they could only drink some cold water and go back to bed.

Yan Bugui, carrying a bowl, accompanied Yi Zhonghai back to the Intermediate People's Court with satisfaction.

Qin Huairu came forward and immediately looked at the bowl in Yan Bugui's hand.

The aroma of the meat in the bowl made her swallow hard.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, you're back."

Just then, the sound of Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua crying came from the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai then asked, "Why are Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua crying?"

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Qin Huai's eyes: "It's all because of Sha Zhu."

His family eats meat every day, which makes my child incredibly envious.

He wasn't willing to help my family, so I...

"Grandpa, you have to help me!"

When Qin Huairu spoke, Yan Bugui sensed something was wrong and wanted to avoid her and go home as soon as possible.

However, Qin Huairu had already anticipated his move and took a small step to block his path.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately felt a great headache coming on.

He certainly knew Qin Huairu's purpose in saying that. To be honest, he didn't want to refuse Qin Huairu.

But Qin Huairu's target was Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui was the stingiest man in the brothel. He was a man who would rather die than live.

"Master..."

The word "Grandpa" shattered Yi Zhonghai's reason.

He turned to look at Yan Bugui: "Old Yan, you see, Huairu is doing this for the sake of her children."

You're the elder; you wouldn't take food from a child, would you?

Who is Yan Bugui? He's the kind of person who'd take a bite of the manure if a manure cart passed by. There's no way he'd give up what he has.

He knew that Yi Zhonghai was protecting Qin Huairu, and out of consideration for the benefits Yi Zhonghai gave him, he kept to himself and Qin Huairu's distance.

He never blocked the door or asked Qin Huairu for any favors.

Qin Huairu actually dared to break the rules and try to take advantage of him.

My uncle can tolerate this, but my aunt cannot.

"Old Yi, this is for my wife. She's so upset about the kids that she can't eat."

You said you should respect and care for the elderly, so isn't my wife considered an elder?

Yi Zhonghai had no answer and could only watch helplessly as Yan Bugui took the things away. (End of Chapter)
