Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The discussion in the front yard only stopped after an older woman intervened.

Of the three women, the eldest was not implicated because of her divorce from Yi Zhonghai.

People still have a lot of faith in her.

The older woman didn't take the opportunity to win people over; she was now focused on taking care of Bi Xiufeng, hoping that Bi Xiufeng could get pregnant soon.

The three women stormed back into the house.

Yan Bugui asked, "Why are you arguing with those outside?"

The three women cursed, "Those shameless people are talking about our family. They said we can't have children."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui became extremely angry: "Have they gone too far? I'll call a meeting right now and teach them a lesson."

The general meeting of the entire compound at No. 95 became the private domain of Yi Zhonghai and his two companions.

They repeatedly used plenary meetings to reprimand those who had offended them.

The three women stopped him: "Don't go. You've forgotten, the people in the compound don't acknowledge the identities of you three old men at all."

Yan Bugui stood there stunned for a long time before angrily sitting down.

"The world is going to the dogs, it really is going to the dogs. Respecting the elderly is a basic principle of being a decent human being."

"These bastards in our compound don't even have this much principle."

The three women were startled: "Are you out of your mind? What are you saying about the world going downhill?"

If someone hears this and reports it to Xu Damao, they'll accuse you of being dissatisfied with the government, and our family will be finished.

Yan Bugui dared not get angry at this moment and hid behind the bed in fright.

"Alas, in the absence of heroes, only scoundrels rise to fame. Who would have thought that in our courtyard, it would be Sha Zhu and Xu Damao who are living the best lives?"

The third aunt said, "They're good at scheming, so naturally they're doing well. You shouldn't worry about them; think about Jiecheng instead."

Tell me, is it that Hao Min can't have children, or is it Jie Cheng...?

In the past, Yan Bugui would have definitely said it was Hao Min. But now he dares not say that.

The examples of Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao are there for all to see; those who cannot have children are not necessarily women.

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "Call Jiecheng over, and we'll ask him secretly."

Yan Jiecheng and his wife naturally heard the discussions in the courtyard. They were hiding at home to avoid being pointed at and gossiped about.

When Yan Bugui saw that the third aunt had closed the door, he asked, "Xu Damao already has a child, what's going on with you two?"

Yan Jiecheng said, "What else could it be? He's in poor health and lacks nutrition, so he can't have children."

The third aunt immediately said, "That's not right. You two, you're making a fuss about separating from your father and me because you're complaining that we don't eat well."

You two have been taking it separately for so long, how come there's been no effect at all?

Xu Damao's oligospermia has been cured, what happened to you guys?

Yan Jiecheng and his wife are indeed undergoing treatment, but the results are not significant.

The reason, well, lies with Yan Bugui.

As the eldest son of the Yan family, Yan Jiecheng was the one who received the most profound education from Yan Bugui.

He completely learned Yan Bugui's stinginess.

After the couple ate alone for a few days, their stingy nature came out.

They ate while feeling the pinch of the money they had spent.

Gradually, the couple's standard of living dropped a notch.

Although it was better than living with Yan Bugui, it wasn't much better.

Looking at the money they had saved, the couple changed their focus from having children to saving money.

Yan Jiecheng was afraid of being schemed against by Yan Bugui, so he dared not reveal that he was saving money.

He quickly came up with an excuse: "Don't you even look at what Xu Damao is eating, and what we're eating?"

Xu Damao eats meat every few days, while we can't taste meat for a whole week and eat cornbread every day.

Can the nutritional value of cornbread compare to that of meat?

The third aunt said, "Don't think I don't know, you two eat meat at least once a week."

Yan Jiecheng said, "We did that to supplement our nutrition."

Yan Bugui said, "I know you're supplementing your nutrition, but what about the effects?"

Do you know that people are talking about how you two can't have children?

"You've made me lose all face." Yan Jiecheng retorted indignantly, "How can you blame me? If you had fed me enough when I was a child, I wouldn't have been malnourished."

If I really can't have children, the root of the problem lies with you.

"Dad, shouldn't you and Mom give me some compensation? I want to use that money to buy more meat and improve my nutrition."

Yan Bugui slammed his fist on the table in anger: "You're dreaming. Yan Jiecheng, have you forgotten how I raised you?"

The greatest act of filial impiety is when children cannot support themselves.

We separated a long time ago, and we agreed on everything back then.

Don't blame me.

Go and see what Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were like when they were your age.

"It's clearly your incompetence that's to blame, don't try to pin it on me and your mother."

The three women, fearing they would be extorted by Yan Jiecheng, also joined in criticizing him.

Yan Jiecheng was no match for the two men and could only flee in disarray.

Yan Bugui said angrily, "I shouldn't have cared whether this unfilial son has children or not."

The three women nodded in agreement: "That's right. We're just trying to be kind to him. He doesn't respect us and even wants money from us. It's outrageous!"

The couple scolded each other for a while before their mood improved.

However, her mood soon soured.

Yan Jiecheng has no children; it's their family who should be ashamed.

Xu Damao ran to the Xu family home, panting heavily.

Upon seeing this, Xu's mother immediately asked, "You were chased by a dog. Did you do something wrong again?"

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Mom, I have a son."

Xu's mother said, "You're confused. Where would you find a son?"

Xu Damao said, "Why can't I have a son? Zhang Yan is pregnant. You'll soon have your grandson."

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses: "Are you telling the truth?"

Xu Damao nodded excitedly: "I just accompanied Zhang Yan to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that Zhang Yan is two months pregnant."

Xu's mother immediately shouted, "Xu Fugui, come out quickly, our daughter-in-law is pregnant."

The couple had been longing for a grandson for many years.

Xu's mother shouted excitedly several times, and the neighbors nearby heard it.

Xu Fugui ran out of the house: "Are you telling the truth?"

Xu's mother said, "Da Mao just said that."

Xu Fugui then looked at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Father, I've come to bring you good news."

Xu Fugui became excited and quickly said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pack your things to go to the courtyard to see your daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Xu rushed into the house and began rummaging through drawers and cabinets. For their grandson, the couple were truly willing to go to great lengths, bringing all the best things in the house.

Xu Fugui pushed out his bicycle and loaded it with those things.

"Da Mao, hurry up and take your mother, let's go to the courtyard house."

With that, he got on his bicycle first and rode off towards the courtyard house.

Xu's mother slapped Xu Damao: "Hurry up!"

Xu Damao said, "No, you should at least let me have a drink of water before I leave."

"What are you drinking for? What could be more important than me seeing my grandson? Hurry up, don't force me to slap you when I'm at my happiest."

Xu Damao had no choice but to hold the bicycle and let his mother get on.

When Xu's mother looked up, Xu Fugui had disappeared. She kept urging Xu Damao to hurry up.

If Xu Damao had been even a fraction slower, he would have either been slapped by his mother or pinched hard.

"Hurry up and catch up with your dad. Do you hear me?"

Xu Damao muttered, "What's your hurry?"

His mother responded with two slaps: "Do you know how many years I've waited for my grandson? You unfilial son!" (End of Chapter)
