Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yan Bugui followed Yi Zhonghai out and into Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Old Yi, this isn't like you. Why don't you take this opportunity to teach Liu Guangtian a lesson?"

It's one thing for others to disrespect us three old men, but for Old Liu's kids to do the same? Is that even fair?

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "Why don't you take a look at your Yan family's children?"

Yan Jiecheng was still his apprentice, but he had already distanced himself from him.

Now, only Qin Huairu remains his disciple, and she is still devoted to him.

"Old Yan, I suspect that Liu Guangtian was the one who tipped us off about what happened last time."

We really can't discuss things at Old Liu's house anymore from now on.

Yan Bugui hesitated and said, "You mean Liu Guangtian betrayed us?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded heavily: "Very few people know about our plan."

No one went out at the time, so how did Sha Zhu arrive so quickly? And how did Director Li get the information?

Yan Bugui said, "I was wondering why Sha Zhu came back so quickly. I thought someone outside had heard the news and reported it to the steel mill."

Why didn't you tell Lao Liu?

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Yan Bugui but did not answer. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but rather that he didn't want to say it himself.

If I were to bring this up in front of Liu Guangtian, wouldn't that offend him?

What if he suffers retaliation from Liu Guangtian?

"These are all just my guesses. What good will it do to say them? Let Lao Liu beat him up. We can't discuss things at Lao Liu's house anyway."

Aren't you afraid he'll complain to you again?

Yan Bugui asked, "Then what should we do? Should we discuss things at your house from now on?"

Yi Zhonghai was not happy.

When discussing things at his house, we can't just discuss things passively. He has to save his meager salary for retirement.

After glancing at Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai gave up on the idea of ​​getting him to pay.

"talk later."

Yan Bugui was extremely disappointed when he realized he couldn't gain any advantage. Fearing that Yi Zhonghai would bring up the idea of ​​a gathering at his house, he quickly turned and left.

Seeing Yan Bugui's disheveled departure, Qin Huairu felt a little suspicious and made an excuse to come to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Uncle, what's wrong? Weren't you discussing a plan to deal with Sha Zhu and Xu Damao? Why are you out so soon?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and voiced his doubts.

Qin Huai thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "That guy told me that after Second Uncle was punished, Liu Guangfu spent money very generously."

"Do you think it was the payment that Sha Zhu gave him?"

Yi Zhonghai said firmly, "Definitely. Old Liu won't give him money, and Liu Guangtian isn't that generous."

Then it could only have been given by Sha Zhu.

Who would have thought that Old Liu would raise two ungrateful children?

Qin Huairu said, "Actually, this is normal. Second Uncle doesn't treat the two of them like human beings at all."

Didn't the old lady say that?

Unkind parents lead to unfilial children.

A smug look appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face.

He had long expected that the Liu family's children would be unfilial.

He now only regrets not thinking of these things sooner. If he had, his plan wouldn't have had such a big flaw.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. How Lao Liu educates his children is his business."

Qin Huairu didn't bother with all that and went straight to asking about what she cared about most.

"Are you still discussing with them the plan to deal with Sha Zhu and Xu Damao?"

Yi Zhonghai said worriedly, "We can't stay at Lao Liu's house, and Lao Yan isn't happy about it either. What do you suggest we do?"

Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat, worried that Yi Zhonghai was setting this up.

Since Yi Zhonghai was punished, she has received even less help.

It costs less than three yuan a month.

In the past, this amount of money could have been obtained in one go.

"Uncle, why don't you just let it go? Banggeng has three kids, and they're crying for food every day."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai knew that Qin Huairu wanted money. He genuinely wanted to save his money for retirement and couldn't afford to spend it recklessly.

"Huai Ru, I'm tired. You should go home. If your mother-in-law sees this, she'll start making a scene again."

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai with slight dissatisfaction, and in the end could only go home disappointed.

"So, how much did Yi Zhonghai give you?" Qin Huairu said disappointedly, "Not a penny."

Madam Jia said with dissatisfaction, "Hey, he's really shameless."

They eat and drink with us every day, treating us like their own mothers.

We take such good care of him. And he only gives our family eight yuan a month.

They're treating our family like beggars.

Qin Huairu said with a worried look, "An old man's salary has been reduced, and he's not happy about it."

He's the only one in the neighborhood willing to help our family; don't offend him.

Madam Jia said, "How did I offend him? If you think I'm meddling, I won't interfere anymore, okay?"

You should try to find a way to get more food back as soon as possible.

Look how hungry our three children are.

The three hamsters playing nearby immediately shouted that they were hungry.

Qin Huai felt both sorry for him and helpless: "If the three of you move around less, you won't get hungry."

Jia Zhangshi said, "A half-grown boy will eat his father out of house and home. He's at the age where he's growing, how can he just starve?"

"Are you willing to let him end up like the miserly children of Old Man Yan?"

Qin Huairu naturally couldn't bear to see Bang Geng go hungry, but on the condition that she didn't have to spend any money.

She simply couldn't get food without spending money.

Given the current situation, not many people dare to switch to steamed buns anymore.

After counting them, there are only a few poor people.

She tried to fleece those few people, but she didn't get much benefit from it.

Even Guo Da Piezi, who used to be the most generous, now avoids her whenever he sees her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jia Zhangshi said, "You should think of a solution."

"Bang Geng is going to be a leader someday, so he absolutely can't go hungry."

Qin Huai sighed: "Now everyone in the factory is avoiding me. I can't even find someone to borrow money from."

The old man's salary has also decreased; he only earns eight yuan more than me a month.

What can I do?

After thinking for a moment, Jia Zhangshi said, "I've noticed that the Miao family and Sha Zhu's family have been getting closer lately."

Miao Jianye isn't married yet, is he?

"Or you could call your cousin over and have her go on a blind date with Miao Jianye."

Qin Huai hesitated and said, "Will this work? This old man..."

"Why do you care about him? If he doesn't want Miao Jianye to get married, he should at least contribute money to help our family."

"He's unwilling to spend any money, does he want our family to starve to death?" Jia Zhangshi said coldly.

Qin Huairu was actually tempted, but she didn't give in.

She didn't really care about Yi Zhonghai's life or death; what she really cared about was how much benefit she could gain from it.

Qin Huairu knew Qin Jingru's personality perfectly well; she was also a heartless person.

She risked offending Yi Zhonghai to bring Qin Jingru here. But once Qin Jingru is married, she might not necessarily help her.

"We can't afford to offend that old man."

After thinking for a moment, Jia Zhangshi said, "Then let's do it this way. Call her over and let her handle it herself."

If we can't stop them then, that's Yi Zhonghai's problem. We're doing this so we don't offend either side.

Qin Huairu's heart swayed again.

After thinking about it for a moment, she agreed to Jia Zhangshi's plan.

It wasn't just her family situation that forced her to find a solution.

Even her own family is pressuring her.

Qin Jingru is not young anymore, and her family has introduced her to several men, but none of them have worked out.

If this continues, I'll become an old maid.

His family sent him a message through a relative, hoping that she could introduce Qin Jingru to someone as soon as possible.

She's now caught in a dilemma.

"Then on my day off, I'll go back to my parents' house and bring her back with me."

Madam Jia said, "Remember to bring back some vegetables." (End of Chapter)
