Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The second day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, did not include a group greeting.

The deaf old lady is dead, so naturally there isn't one.

Even if she hadn't died and was still in the courtyard, there wouldn't have been a New Year's gathering.

The deaf old lady was a shrewd person; she could see through not only the trivialities of family life but also the external situation.

This is something that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu cannot compare to. In their eyes, there is only the sky within the courtyard house.

Nothing outside matters as much as their retirement and taking advantage of others.

It was only because of the old deaf woman's reminders that Yi Zhonghai never rose to prominence throughout Sha Zhu's life.

After Xu Damao stepped down, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui wanted to restore the power of the steward.

But Liu Haizhong was someone who had made a mistake, and Yan Bugui had little prestige.

The two of them simply couldn't do it.

These two people had been encouraging Yi Zhonghai to step forward behind the scenes.

Yi Zhonghai was indeed tempted.

Although Sha Zhu was bound to Qin Huairu, he and Qin Huairu were not actually married.

Many women from families with unfavorable social class backgrounds don't care about their husbands when they get married.

What if someone, wanting a better life, tries to force Sha Zhu into marriage?
They can exploit Sha Zhu's personality, and so can others.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to regain control of the courtyard house and ensure that Sha Zhu wouldn't have any accidents.

But in the end, the deaf old lady stopped her.

The deaf old lady understood perfectly well that after Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong's meddling, the courtyard house was no longer the same.

It's no longer feasible for Yi Zhonghai to use the old methods to control the courtyard houses.

Yi Zhonghai's approach is that of a feudal patriarch.

This kind of behavior can be deadly during sports activities.

The biggest credit for Yi Zhonghai's ability to control the courtyard house and implement the elderly care plan goes to the deaf old lady.

Even later, when Lou Xiao'e returned, Yi Zhonghai was still able to carry out the retirement plan, which was also a strategy left behind by the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady was as important to Yi Zhonghai as his second parents.

If the deaf old lady were in the courtyard, she would never have allowed Yi Zhonghai to participate in Liu Haizhong's workers' picket team.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

In this lifetime, there is no such thing as Sha Zhu.

The importance of the deaf old lady is not apparent.

Yi Zhonghai viewed the deaf old lady as a burden, especially since she frequently targeted Qin Huairu.

The two founders of the retirement community were unable to work closely together.

This is also the reason for their repeated failures.

After going out for a walk and wishing relatives and friends a Happy New Year, He Yuzhu returned home.

Now that it's a time for sports, he doesn't dare to flaunt it in public.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, He Yuzhu's family packed up and prepared to visit Lin Zhijie.

Before that, there was one more thing to do, which was Li Pan's blind date.

The blind date arranged for her this time was a company commander under Lin Jingyuan named Lü Changwei, who belonged to the special operations battalion.

He was injured during an operation and could no longer stay in the special operations battalion.

He was originally supposed to be transferred to the military logistics department, but the Public Security Bureau needed people, so he chose to leave the military.

Just then, Lin Jinghan mentioned Li Pan's situation, and Lin Jingyuan immediately thought of him.

Around nine o'clock, two jeeps arrived outside.

Lin Jingyuan led an unfamiliar soldier into the courtyard, startling Yan Bugui, who was about to step forward, and he quickly retreated.

He Yushui and her sister were at the Li family's house that morning, keeping Li Pan company.

When she saw someone come in, she deliberately grinned mischievously, which made Li Pan so embarrassed that she kept hitting her.

"Jingyuan-ge, you've arrived."

Lin Jingyuan saw her and said with a smile, "Yushui, Yuqing, you're here."

This is my comrade-in-arms, Lü Changwei.

He Yushui smiled and pushed Li Pan forward: "This is Li Pan." Lu Changwei glanced at Li Pan and was stunned. It wasn't until Lin Jingyuan quietly kicked him that he came back to his senses.

Li Dagen and his wife had been waiting at the door the whole time, and they were quite satisfied with the choice of their son-in-law.

It wasn't until Lü Changwei entered the Li family home that the people in the courtyard belatedly realized that Li Pan was going on a blind date.

Yu Li's face immediately turned ugly, because no one had told her about this.

"Li Zhenjiang, did you know in advance?"

Li Zhenjiang said, "I know. We didn't spread it around because we were afraid the people in the courtyard would cause trouble."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"I forgot." Li Zhenjiang didn't even bother to come up with an excuse.

Actually, it wasn't that he forgot; it was that Yu Li had been helping Yu Haitang all along.

Yu Li was a smart woman, and naturally knew that Li Zhenjiang was doing this on purpose.

She was furious: "Do you know that Haitang is coming over soon, and she's bringing her boyfriend and his boss with her?"

Li Zhenjiang was furious when he heard this. Yu Li hadn't told him about it.

"I've told you so many times. My sister's marriage is none of your family's business."

My sister is a college graduate with a good job; she could find any kind of partner, but she insisted on marrying a divorced man.

He Yuzhu noticed that something was wrong with the couple, so he came over.

"What are you two doing? If you want to argue, go argue somewhere else. Can't you see today is Panpan's blind date?"

Yu Li snorted and ran out the door.

He Yuzhu ignored her. Ever since she started working, Yu Li had become arrogant.

She not only learned Yan Bugui's scheming, but also extended her reach to her own family.

"Li Zhenjiang, I have nothing to do with your relationship."

But I want to tell you that I have always considered Panpan as my younger sister.

If your issues affect her, don't blame me for being ruthless towards you two.

Li Zhenjiang's expression was unpleasant: "It's none of your business. Panpan is my own sister."

He Yuzhu gave him a warning look and said nothing more.

In Sha Zhu's memory, he wasn't a good person either. Although he wasn't like Liu Guangqi, who would never come back after leaving, he wasn't particularly family-oriented either.

Later, Sha Zhu listened to Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's hype and decided to set up a nursing home and buy the houses in the nursing home.

This guy went home, took the money from Li Dagen and his wife's sale of their house, and bought an apartment building.

But they left Li Dagen and his wife in the courtyard house, leaving Sha Zhu to take care of them in their old age.

He was not as good as Li Pan. Li Pan often came over later to help Li Dagen and his wife wash clothes and tidy up the house.

Li Pan's ex-boyfriend even took Li Dagen to the bathhouse.

Having learned a lesson from Yu Li, He Yuzhu became much more self-aware.

He was a time traveler, but also just a mortal. He had no way to change other people's personalities or destinies.

Yu Li never married Yan Jiecheng, and gradually returned to her original state.

Under her influence, Li Zhenjiang might turn into the same person he used to be.

He needs to be on guard.

The argument between the two was witnessed by Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai.

The two old men exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus.

He Yuzhu didn't notice, nor did he know, that these beasts were about to join forces so quickly.

He has to go to Lin Zhijie's place today, so he doesn't have time to stay in the courtyard house at all.

He Yuzhu called to the He Yushui sisters to load things into the car. All these things were sealed and placed in jars, so outsiders had no idea what was inside.

Qin Huai, having received a hint from Yi Zhonghai, stopped Lin Jinghan.

"What are you moving? Do you need my help?"

Lin Jinghan said calmly, "It's nothing, just some pickled cabbage and pickled radishes."

This explanation is also to reduce trouble.

He Yuzhu pickles a certain amount every year. He does this at home and doesn't communicate with Yi Zhonghai, so Yi Zhonghai and the others have no idea how much he pickles. (End of Chapter)
