Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After leaving the forging workshop, Qin Huai walked towards the courtyard.

She was not satisfied with Liu Haizhong's answer and planned to find an opportunity to ask Xu Damao.

It should be noted that Liu Haizhong's official career was not as successful as Xu Damao's.

The number of people giving gifts to Xu Damao was far greater than that to Liu Haizhong.

She admired Xu Damao and wanted to be like him.

If she doesn't know how, then she can only learn from Xu Damao.

Once she learns it, she will be able to surpass Xu Damao.

Throughout the journey, Qin Huairu had been pondering how to get closer to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao has been kept very strict ever since Zhang Yan became pregnant. His mother has set rules for him, such as what time he must be home every day and that he must take care of his wife and child afterward.

She hadn't done business with Xu Damao for a long time.

Just as she was pondering how to scheme against Xu Damao, Xu Damao rode up from behind on his bicycle.

Li Huaide had his own connections in the factory and knew that Qin Huairu and Meng Bo had been alone together for half an hour.

As someone who's been through it all, he knows exactly what he's been doing for those half an hour.

He didn't intend to use this against Meng Bo, but instead pondered how to use Qin Huairu to set a trap for Meng Bo.

Besides being known as a charming widow, Qin Huairu also had the title of "King of Scams".

Because of his care for Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai was promoted from a seventh-grade worker to a first-grade worker.

If it weren't for the rule against firing people arbitrarily, they probably would have lost even their worker status.

Liu Haizhong also lost his position as the group leader of the workers' picket team because of Qin Huairu.

Li Huaide himself almost fell out with He Yuzhu because of Qin Huairu.

Li Huaide felt that Qin Huairu was a jinx.

Now that this jinx has run off to Meng Bo's side, he naturally wants to make good use of it.

After he got off work, he told Xu Damao to pay more attention to this matter.

Given the example of that idiot Liu Haizhong, he was afraid that Xu Damao would make things look bad, so he specifically instructed Xu Damao on what he could and couldn't do.

Xu Damao gets off work much later.

When Xu Damao saw Qin Huairu, he thought of Li Huaide's instructions and felt that he should test Qin Huairu.

He slowed down his bicycle: "Sister Qin, why are you only getting off work now?"

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when he heard Xu Damao's voice.

She was still figuring out how to get close to Xu Damao when he appeared; it was as if God was helping her.

"Da Mao, you're just getting off work?"

Xu Damao stopped the car next to Qin Huairu and said with a smile, "Director Li wants to see me about something."

The two were mutually attracted and quickly became involved.

Qin Huairu's constant temptations and hints were directed at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao wasn't an honest kid either, so the two of them got on the bicycle and went to a secluded place.

Yi Zhonghai was unaware of all this and was hiding outside the steel rolling mill, waiting for Liu Haizhong.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong's figure appear at the door, he felt an urge to go up and beat him up.

Yi Zhonghai's voice changed because of his anger.

"In bangs."

The sound of clenched teeth echoed from behind.

Liu Haizhong didn't recognize Yi Zhonghai's voice and was so frightened that he turned and ran away.

After he lost his position as the head of the workers' picket line, those he had disciplined repeatedly caused him trouble behind his back.

He was beaten many times.

He wondered who was trying to hit him this time.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong run away, he assumed that Liu Haizhong was feeling guilty.

He became even angrier and immediately gave chase.

Yi Zhonghai chased after him, shouting as he went.

Because he was scared, Liu Haizhong didn't recognize his voice and ran even faster.

He's learned his lesson now and avoids going to courtyard houses. Because even if he does, no one will stand up for him.

There used to be a son named Liu Guangtian, who could intimidate others.

But after Liu Guangtian got married, he caused trouble for Liu Guangtian several times at the factory.

Everyone knows that Liu Guangtian moved in with his father-in-law after getting married. No one in the courtyard could save him except the police.

Liu Haizhong ran all the way to the police station, shouting, "Help! Someone is trying to kill me!"

Upon hearing this, the police immediately rushed out, ready to arrest the person.

Yi Zhonghai was so focused on chasing Liu Haizhong that he didn't even look where he was going or see the sign at the entrance, and rushed in.

The police then pinned him down.

Was he the one who wanted to kill you?

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was terrified and immediately cried out that he was innocent.

With the police as his backer, Liu Haizhong calmed down and recognized Yi Zhonghai's voice.

"Old Yi, it's you?"

A police officer asked, "Do you know each other?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly replied, "We know each other; we're neighbors in the same courtyard. I saw him when I got off work and called out to him."

After explanation, the misunderstanding between the two was cleared up.

The police gave them another lecture before letting them leave.

The two of them felt incredibly frustrated.

Yi Zhonghai, in particular, felt the most aggrieved, having been lectured by a few young men in their twenties.

"Old Liu, why are you running?"

Liu Haizhong said with dissatisfaction, "If you hadn't shouted, would I have been able to run away?"

The two started blaming each other again.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai said impatiently, "You still have the nerve to talk back to me. I heard from others that you were bullying Huairu, so I came to see for myself."

Old Liu, let me tell you, Huai Ru has had a tough time. As neighbors, it's one thing if we don't help her, but we absolutely cannot do anything heartless.

Liu Hai thought to himself, "I just asked Qin Huairu to help sweep the floor, how is that heartless?"

Consequently, he was also very dissatisfied with Qin Huairu. Even though Qin Huairu had taken the initiative to help him sweep the floor, he turned around and complained to Yi Zhonghai.

"How dare you talk like that? I'm upright and honest, unlike you, whose cunning and wicked thoughts could be used as paint."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was furious. He had already been giving Liu Haizhong face.

Liu Haizhong actually dared to turn the tables and accuse the other party.

"Who are you calling scheming?"

He was inexplicably chased by Yi Zhonghai all the way, and his anger was even greater.

"I'm talking about you. In our compound, you're the one who's closest to Qin Huairu."

Yi Zhonghai roared: "So what if I'm close to Huai Ru? I admit it, I'm doing this for my retirement."

And you."

Liu Haizhong said, "What do you mean, 'I'? I didn't even acknowledge Qin Huairu. If you hadn't pulled me to help Qin Huairu, I would have had nothing to do with her."

Yi Zhonghai glared fiercely at Liu Haizhong, barely suppressing the urge to reveal his retirement plan.

He was afraid that if he revealed the real retirement plan, and others found out, he would be in trouble if Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui reformed.

"You're being completely unreasonable. Let's see what you do when your sister-in-law comes after you."

Liu Haizhong snorted: "Do you think I'm like you? If he dares to block my door and curse at me, I'll smash his mouth in."

"Try it if you don't believe me."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong ignored Yi Zhonghai and walked straight towards the courtyard house.

Yi Zhonghai stopped in his tracks, his eyes wavering. He had originally intended to have Jia Zhangshi cause a scene.

But Liu Haizhong's words made him hesitate.

If Liu Haizhong really dares to make a move, he'll be in trouble. In the end, Jia Zhangshi will definitely cause him trouble, and might even make him pay for medical expenses.

Ultimately, Yi Zhonghai decided to continue observing.

He followed Liu Haizhong back to the courtyard house.

When Yan Bugui saw him, he tried to hide at home.

Yi Zhonghai wouldn't let him hide: "Old Yan, do I still have food?"

Yan Bugui said, "Where have you been? I didn't cook for you because I didn't see you come back."

Yi Zhonghai said, "Then you can do it for me. I've already paid you."

Left with no other option, Yan Bugui had an older woman cook for Yi Zhonghai separately. (End of Chapter)
