Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The Central Court
To pay for his medical treatment, Yi Zhonghai could only give Qin Huairu a maximum of ten yuan a month. He usually bought meat but ate it secretly to nourish himself.

Although Jia Zhangshi didn't discover it, she still blamed Yi Zhonghai, scolding him every few days.

When He Yuzhu's family ate meat, Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to scold He Yuzhu, so she had Yi Zhonghai do it in his place.

Yi Zhonghai has tolerated Jia Zhangshi for a year for his own purposes.

Now that he has recovered, it's time for him to vent his anger.

"Sister-in-law, Huairu, I bought a chicken. Let's have a nice meal today."

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the two widows from the Jia family came out of the house in unison.

Upon seeing Yi Zhonghai carrying a large rooster weighing about three pounds, he immediately beamed with joy.

"Oh dear, why are you being so polite with him, old man? Huai Ru, hurry up and bring the chicken over."

Qin Huairu was much gentler: "Uncle, you've gone to so much trouble."

Her words were much slower than her actions. Before she could finish speaking, she had already snatched the chicken from Yi Zhonghai's hand.

Seeing the wine in Yi Zhonghai's hand, Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Uncle, I'll cook the chicken right away. I'll fry some peanuts for you later."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Then hurry up and do it. Let the three kids in Banggeng have a good nourishing meal."

Xu Damao happened to come in and said with a smile, "What day is this?"

When Yi Zhonghai saw Xu Damao, the hostility in his eyes lessened.

It is because of Xu Damao's example that he has been able to persist in seeing doctors and taking medicine.

That's how we got today's good news.

Even Yi Zhonghai felt embarrassed to target Xu Damao so directly.

When Qin Huai saw what Xu Damao was holding, a fleeting glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

Jia Zhangshi also harbored resentment towards Xu Damao, and said directly, "What business is it of yours? Who says our family can't eat chicken?"

Xu Damao was too lazy to argue with Jia Zhangshi, so he took his things and went to He Yuzhu's house.

"Have you noticed that Yi Zhonghai is acting strangely?"

He Yuzhu did not contact Yi Zhonghai, saying, "He just bought a chicken. What's so strange about that?"

Xu Damao said, "That's not what I meant. You don't know, the way he used to look at me was like I was a class enemy."

The way he looked at me today was less fiery.

He Yuzhu said, "Are you being cheap? He gives you a nice look, and you're still not happy about it."

Xu Damao said irritably, "If others thought that way, I wouldn't say anything."

But that was Yi Zhonghai.

"None of the three old men in our courtyard are good people."

He Yuzhu said, "We just need to be on guard. The courtyard has finally calmed down, let's not cause any more trouble."

Your daughter is only a few months old, don't let her cause trouble.

Xu Damao was also afraid that the people in the courtyard would cause trouble. Before he had children, he didn't have to worry about these things. But now it's different; he has a daughter, and soon he'll have a son.

"For the sake of my precious daughter, as long as they don't bother me, I won't bother with them."

He Yuzhu said, "Alright, stop chatting here. I just heard Aunt Xu calling you to wash your daughter's diapers."

Xu Damao's face fell again, and he said to He Yuzhu, "Your family is so much better; neither of your younger sisters is married. As for my sister, there's no hope for her at all."

I'm about to give birth, and she's already married off ahead of time.

Let me tell you, if you still want children, you should do it sooner rather than later.

Once they get married, there will be no one to help you take care of your children.

Xu Xiaoling got married in June of this year; she married the man from the Materials Bureau.

Xu Damao's child was born in July. Every time he takes care of the baby, Xu Damao will complain.

He Yuzhu ignored him. Both of her younger sisters had boyfriends, both introduced by their own bosses.

This news was not shared with anyone in the hospital.

He feared that Yi Zhonghai, the pirate, might still harbor resentment and try to sabotage them.

Don't be fooled by Yi Zhonghai's seemingly honest demeanor; it's because he hasn't found He Yuzhu's weakness yet.

If he finds a weakness, he will definitely jump out immediately.

He Yuzhu himself wouldn't mind, but his two younger sisters wouldn't. The aroma of stewed meat from the Jia family wafted from the courtyard, and He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't let his family suffer.

He went out for a while and came back with a chicken shortly after.

The Jia family was too preoccupied to pay attention to him; they were all focused on fighting the chicken.

That year was a very difficult one for the Jia family. It was only slightly better than the previous three years. It was the worst year since Jia Dongxu's death.

Yi Zhonghai was reluctant to spend the money, and Qin Huairu's steamed bun project at the factory was also not going smoothly.

Without these extra incomes, and unwilling to spend any more money, the two widows could only live a life of hardship.

Of course, the Jia family's so-called hard times simply meant that they ate meat much less often.

Actually, her family's life was much better than other families'.

With Yi Zhonghai's help, the Jia family never experienced hardship.

During those three most difficult years, when others couldn't even get enough to eat with cornbread, the Jia family could occasionally afford to eat white flour steamed buns.

Yi Zhonghai has never sincerely helped anyone, nor does he know how to help anyone.

All he knew was that he wanted the Jia family to remember his kindness and for them to live a good life with his help.

Little do they know that a small favor can breed resentment, and a large one can breed enmity.

The better off the Jia family became, the less they would remember his kindness.

Qin Huairu carried a bowl of vegetables, a plate of peanuts, and two cornbread buns to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Banggeng put down the cornbread and wanted to run home.

Qin Huairu said with a smile, "The bastards are drooling. Let's go back and eat."

Yi Zhonghai didn't pay attention to the joke, but instead invited Qin Huairu to sit down.

He then took out the diagnosis report and said excitedly, "Huai Ru, the doctor said my illness is cured. Look, this is the diagnosis report."

Qin Huairu took it, glanced at it, and thought to herself that it was a pity.

Through her efforts, she finally managed to restore some of her relationship with the older woman.

Unfortunately, Miao Jianye's wife was pregnant.

The older woman has been incredibly agitated these past few days. At this point, it will be even more difficult to break up her relationship with Miao Jianye.

However difficult it may be, she is determined to do it.

Yi Zhonghai's meager savings and this house were simply not enough to satisfy her greed.

"That's great! Uncle, now that you're better, you can go and ask Auntie to remarry you."

The sooner you remarry, the sooner you can have your own child.

I've gotten along really well with that older woman lately; I'll go talk to her for you.

Seeing Qin Huairu's excited expression, Yi Zhonghai felt a chill in his heart.

How old is this woman? Can she still have children?

Why is Qin Huairu no longer as understanding of his heart as she used to be?

“Huai Ru and Miao Cuilan are both old ladies.”

Qin Huairu was taken aback: "Uncle, what do you mean? You don't want to remarry Auntie, so who do you plan to marry?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "I will not marry anyone."

Qin Huairu didn't understand. They spent so much money treating his infertility, and now he says he doesn't want to get married? What was the point of spending all that money?

Play?

"Sir, don't you want your own child?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu with deep affection: "Of course I want my own child. But not with Miao Cuilan."

She's too old for her to get pregnant.

As you can see, my diagnosis states that the probability of me getting pregnant is only 30%.

Therefore, I must find someone who can have children.

If Qin Huai weren't stupid, he would see only himself in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

She never imagined that Yi Zhonghai's target would be her. (End of Chapter)
