Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He Yuzhu helped Xu Damao clean up his own mess, but that good-for-nothing ended up getting himself into trouble.

He was sent to deal with Qin Huairu, but instead he used Qin Huairu's weakness as leverage to eat steamed buns with her.

He Yuzhu was furious and kicked him out of the house, refusing to let him in.

He couldn't help but admire Qin Huairu; she knew so well how to utilize her advantages.

Of course, what He Yuzhu admired most was her ruthlessness.

According to Liu Lan, the female workers under Qin Huairu often had affairs with some of the factory's leaders.

Although they weren't caught on the spot, evidence was found.

The living standards of the women workers' disciplinary team members improved significantly.

These were discovered by Liu Lan's girlfriends.

Just because someone is doing well doesn't mean they're living a good life. If that were the case, no one would be able to live a normal life.

Which leader's family is not doing well?

After this incident, the steel rolling mill returned to normal.

Although Xu Damao would eat steamed buns with Qin Huairu, he never forgot who his master was.

He continued to help Li Huaide and suppressed Meng Bo's men.

In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year is almost here.

This year, the courtyard house was very lively.

People kept coming to give gifts to Xu Damao and Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu brings home quite a lot of things every day. It's mostly meat and grains, and once she even brought fresh fruit.

These are all thanks to Yan Bugui.

This guy tried to take advantage but failed, so he spread the word.

Qin Huairu had no intention of keeping a low profile, so she didn't cause him any trouble.

He Yuzhu also started sending gifts everywhere to maintain his relationships.

He would take things from the small courtyard to other people's houses without letting the people in the courtyard know.

Yan Bugui guarded the door every day, and he would not give up even if he didn't get anything.

He kept track of everything that happened in the courtyard. This was something He Yuzhu hated the most.

Nobody likes having someone watching them every day.

Yan Bugui sat at home, drinking with Yi Zhonghai, boasting about his achievements over the past few days.

"Old Yi, let me tell you, Qin Huairu has brought back at least fifteen catties of meat from outside these past few days."

You used to spend Chinese New Year with her. Will she invite you to celebrate this year?

When you get there, tell her to take me with her.

It's more lively when the three families celebrate the New Year together.

Yi Zhonghai sat silently to the side, his expression solemn. Ever since he broke up with Qin Huairu, she had never been close to him again.

With the Lunar New Year fast approaching, Qin Huairu didn't mention anything about it to him.

This made him very dissatisfied and uneasy.

He felt that Qin Huairu was heartless and wished he could break off all ties with her.

Sometimes, he even wished he could take the IOUs from the Jia family, go to Qin Huairu to get the money back, and then cut ties with Qin Huairu completely, never to have anything to do with her again.

As for retirement, we can always go to a nursing home.

When Yi Zhonghai visited the deaf old lady, he also visited the nursing home.

The food there might not be the best, but the accommodations were quite comfortable.

There are quite a few women who take care of the elderly in nursing homes.

Although not as filial as Qin Huairu, she is not far off.

Having made up his mind, he then felt a little reluctant to give it up.

He had invested so much in the Jia family that he was unwilling to let all his hard work go to waste.

"Old Yan, stop talking. I've already fallen out with the Jia family."

Yan Bugui wanted to persuade him further, so he said, "Look at what you're saying. You always say in the yard that one shouldn't be too selfish. Have you forgotten all that?"

I want to tell you again, be generous.

You won't tell me why you and Qin Huairu had a falling out. I won't ask either.

"But I have to say, you're a grown man, and an elder in our compound, there's really no need for you to continue arguing with Qin Huairu." Yi Zhonghai was somewhat tempted, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Just as Yan Bugui had said, he was an elder.

There are no bad elders in the world, only inconsiderate juniors.

As an elder, how could he bow down to Qin Huairu?

Without him, Qin Huairu would still be toiling in the countryside, facing the loess soil with his back to the sky.

"Old Yan, stop talking. I can't possibly apologize to Huai Ru, an elder."

I can not do it. "

Yan Bugui could tell from Yi Zhonghai's expression that he was interested.

What he wanted was for Yi Zhonghai to be moved and agree to reconcile with Qin Huairu.

"How about this? I'll act as a peacemaker for you and Qin Huairu."

If you're too embarrassed to say something, just tell me. I'll pass it on for you.

Our courtyard is fragmented and doesn't resemble a proper courtyard at all.

The children in the courtyard have all been corrupted by Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

My family's Jiefang and Lao Liu's Guangtian are the same.

Look at Guangtian, he came to our compound a couple of days ago and gave Xu Damao a pound of meat and Lao Liu a pound of cornmeal.

Does this sound like a word?

I'm now afraid that Jie Kuang, Guang Fu, and Bang Geng will follow their example.

A look of horror crossed Yi Zhonghai's face. Over the years, he had come to understand one thing: Qin Huairu, as a woman, was absolutely not capable of supporting him in his old age.

There needs to be a man to help support this family.

The best candidate was naturally He Yuzhu, whom the deaf old lady had been longing to hear.

Yi Zhonghai also knew that it would be extremely difficult to find He Yuzhu to take care of him in his old age.

Given He Yuzhu's current temperament, even if someone were willing to support him in his old age, he wouldn't feel at ease.

For him, there was only one reliable man left, and that was Bang Geng.

He couldn't allow Banggeng to learn to be unfilial.

"You're right. I agreed. As long as Huairu apologizes to me, I won't hold it against her."

Yan Bugui was overjoyed to receive Yi Zhonghai's promise. He even fantasized about having a big feast at the Jia family's house during the New Year.

The next morning, Yan Bugui stopped Qin Huairu, who was on her way to work.

"Third Uncle, why are you stopping me?"

Yan Bugui smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Huai Ru, I'm here to help you and Lao Yi make peace."

When your family was going through a difficult time, Lao Yi helped you so much.

Now that your family is doing well, you must not forget Lao Yi's contributions.

One must never forget one's roots.

Although I don't know why you two are having a conflict, I feel that there's no obstacle that can't be overcome.

I want to act as a peacemaker between you and Lao Yi.

Qin Huairu sized up Yan Bugui and said, "I definitely remember all the help Uncle Yi gave my family. However, I'm just a widow, and there are some things I really can't do."

If the old man changes his mind, I will definitely repay him.

Everyone in the courtyard knew about Yi Zhonghai's help to the Jia family.

Qin Huairu, not wanting to be gossiped about, naturally dared not deny it.

When Yan Bugui heard Qin Huairu agree, his smile deepened: "You're right. One should only exert as much effort as one is capable of, and no one can force someone to do something against their will."

Don't worry, I'll talk to Lao Yi properly.

By the way, may I ask what Lao Yi asked you to do?

Is it to deal with Sha Zhu?
If you need help dealing with Sha Zhu, just tell me, and I'll definitely help you.

Yan Bugui lowered his voice for the last sentence, as if afraid others would hear it.

He was most dissatisfied with He Yuzhu. Among the families in No. 95 courtyard, there were only two that hadn't let him take advantage of them: He Yuzhu and the Jia family.

With Yi Zhonghai standing behind the Jia family, he remained silent.

But why should He Yuzhu have the right? He's a universally acknowledged fool, why shouldn't he be allowed to take advantage of the situation?

Qin Huai said lightly, "Go ask an old man." (End of Chapter)
