Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Many people's first reaction upon hearing this news was disbelief.

When Xu Damao was diagnosed with asthenospermia, he kept saying that it was treatable.

But a year and a half has passed, and Zhang Yan still shows no signs of getting pregnant.

People had long been secretly labeling Xu Damao as childless.

That is, Xu Damao was the captain of the steel rolling mill workers' disciplinary team.

If I didn't have this position, people in the institute wouldn't talk about me behind my back.

Now that Zhang Yan is pregnant, it's even more explosive than Xu Damao becoming the vice chairman of the singing committee again.

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this news. He had spent a considerable amount of spiritual spring water on Xu Damao, and it had finally had an effect.

Honestly, if Zhang Yan doesn't get pregnant soon, He Yuzhu is thinking of giving up.

The world's corrective power is truly immense.

Treating Xu Damao will not only consume spiritual spring water, but also require a great deal of mental effort.

Fortunately, there is finally a result.

He could finally put his mind at ease.

He Yuzhu's insistence on having a child with Xu Damao was not because of their relationship, but because he wanted to test how much influence he could have on the world.

It seems that he can still change some things.

Xu Xiaoling was also very excited and carefully helped Zhang Yan sit down.

"Sister-in-law, you must be careful. You must take good care of the baby in your belly."

From now on, my brother will do all the housework. You don't need to do laundry or cook.

Xu Damao looked at Xu Xiaoling with dissatisfaction: "I did it all, what did you do?"

You heartless girl, don't forget how good your sister-in-law is to you.

Xu Xiaoling snorted: "Of course I'm just chatting with my sister-in-law to make her happy."

Xu Damao, unconvinced, wanted to argue with Xu Xiaoling.

He Yuzhu stopped him: "What are you still standing here for? Don't you know to go and inform your parents and your in-laws?"

When Xu Xiaoling saw He Yuzhu helping her, she immediately became smug: "If you don't go, and Mom finds out, you'll be in trouble."

Xu Damao naturally knew what the consequences would be, and dared not say a word. He quickly pushed his bicycle to report the news.

Over here, everyone gathered around Zhang Yan and asked her questions.

He Yuzhu looked left and right and found that there were only two men in the house, him and his son.

With a wry smile, He Yuzhu picked up his daughter and took his son out for a walk.

The courtyard was abuzz with discussion about this matter. Some of the more astute individuals kept glancing towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

An older woman went to the hospital for a checkup, and the results proved that she was healthy and capable of having children.

Yi Zhonghai did not go to the hospital for a checkup, and no one knew whether he had a problem.

But everyone blamed him for not being able to have children.

Nobody talks about it normally, but now everyone's bringing it up.

Yi Zhonghai naturally knew what everyone would say, and the moment Xu Damao returned, he hid back at home.

When He Yuzhu came out, many people asked, "How was Xu Damao treated?"

He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't tell them, vaguely saying, "I'll definitely listen to the doctor."

Many people don't believe this.

He Yuzhu didn't care whether they believed him or not. He took the two children to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought them snacks.

The two were extremely happy.

Although there was plenty of delicious food at home, the two still really wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

These two kids are rich, and He Yushui and her maids dote on them. They can easily get their demands met by simply being affectionate.

These two kids' faces are more effective than He Yuzhu's.

The people at the supply and marketing cooperative didn't know He Yuzhu, but they knew the two of them.

The discussion continued inside the courtyard.

As Yi Zhonghai's old friend, Yan Bugui was embarrassed to join in the gossip among the people in the courtyard.

He took the three women home, and the elderly couple discussed it face to face. The three women exclaimed in amazement, "This is truly amazing. Xu Damao actually cured him!"

Yan Bugui said with resentment, "It's like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. Xu Damao just got lucky."

His relationship with Xu Damao was bad, and he ended up in this situation because of Xu Damao's schemes.

He couldn't be happier that Xu Damao died without an heir.

The third aunt understood Yan Bugui's thoughts because she had the same thoughts.

"Don't be angry. Zhang Yan is only two months pregnant, and we don't even know if she can give birth."

Xu Damao, that kid, has been a bad seed since he was a child.

With Zhang Yan pregnant, he might be having an affair with another woman.

When Zhang Yan finds out, she might be so angry that she miscarries.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up; he thought this was a good idea. He suddenly stood up and was about to leave.

The three women asked, "Where are you going?"

Yan Bugui said, "Your idea is good. I'll go discuss it with Lao Yi."

The three women quickly grabbed him: "You're confused. How can Lao Yi be in a good mood right now?"
If you go to him to discuss it, he'll think you're there to laugh at him.

Yan Bugui had no choice but to sit back down: "You're right. Let's discuss it with him again in a couple of days."

"Hey, what's wrong with Lao Yi? Is he like Xu Damao?"

The old woman rolled her eyes: "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Who knows if he secretly went to the hospital for a checkup?"

Yan Bugui said, "He definitely hasn't been there. What man would go to the hospital for a checkup for something like this?"

Xu Damao was forced to go for the checkup by Zhang Yan.

Old Yi is such a proud man, he would never go.

He completely forgot that when Xu Damao went to the hospital for a checkup, these people were the ones who contributed the most.

If they hadn't been so vocal in their propaganda that Xu Damao was childless, he wouldn't have agreed to go to the hospital.

The three women nodded: "You're right. Old Yi won't go to the hospital."

If he had gone to the hospital like Xu Damao, he might have had his own child.

For some reason, Yan Bugui felt that it was better for Yi Zhonghai not to have children.

After the couple finished sharing, the aunt got up and went to work.

She had just stepped outside when the focus of the discussion in the courtyard had shifted.

As soon as she came out, someone asked, "Aunt Yang, what's going on with your Jiecheng and Hao Min? Didn't they say they were malnourished?"
Why is it that Xu Damao has been cured, but they haven't?

This was to save face for the three aunties; they didn't say everything.

What they really meant was to ask whether Yan Jiecheng was capable or not.

As for why Hao Min wasn't suspected.

That's because everyone knows that if it really was Hao Min's problem, the Yan family probably wouldn't want this daughter-in-law.

The three women naturally understood what they meant, and their faces immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Our family affairs are none of your business. You're just meddling in other people's business."

"Hey, Aunt Yang, why are you talking like that?"

“I’m just talking like this, so what? I’m your elder. You should call me Third Aunt.”

"Pah. You're treating the title of 'Auntie' that you got through swindling and cheating like it's a treasure."

The others wouldn't give them any face at all. The issue of merging the courtyards isn't even over yet.

Faced with the disdain of the crowd, the three women, fearing to incur public wrath, angrily went home.

That's how the Yan family is; they bully the weak and fear the strong. The weaker you are, the more they'll target you and try to take advantage of you.

This is also why He Yuzhu is too lazy to mend his relationship with Yan Bugui.

Admittedly, among the three old men, Yan Bugui was the one with the best conscience.

But that's a comparison with Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, so it's not really a useful reference.

Yan Bugui's biggest problem is that he has no principles; he'll follow whoever offers the best benefits.

Winning him over would be extremely difficult. Even if we did manage to win him over, we'd still have to guard against his betrayal. (End of Chapter)
