Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Creating a crisis to scare others is Yi Zhonghai's most common tactic.

This tactic has proven effective time and again.

Yi Zhonghai hoped to use this tactic to unite the people in the hospital and force He Yuzhu to take the lead.

However, he miscalculated.

The people in the courtyard used to listen to him and help the Jia family. The Jia family prospered, but they didn't repay them.

This just happened; they haven't forgotten it yet.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the neighbors in the courtyard all stepped back.

Everyone remained silent.

This left those who came to watch the spectacle completely bewildered.

Seeing this scene, Yi Zhonghai felt extremely desolate.

The courtyard house he wanted was one filled with love, where everyone would warmly help their neighbors.

But now?

Yi Zhonghai's regard for Qin Huairu grew even stronger.

He knew that among all the people in the courtyard, only Qin Huai was such a warm and filial person.

"Qin Huairu, are you going to pay me back or not? If you don't, I'm going to call the police. I refuse to believe there's no place in Beijing where justice is served."

Qin Huairu doesn't want to repay.

Once the money is in her hands, it belongs to her. Why should he take it out?

"Grandpa, I... Waaah..."

It was the same old trick, and it did soften Yi Zhonghai's heart.

But Yi Zhonghai was helpless. This time, the amount of money was too large, and he had offended outsiders; his status was no longer a factor.

If only the deaf old lady lived in the courtyard house.

This idea suddenly popped into Yi Zhonghai's mind.

Then came resentment.

He resented the deaf old lady for dying too young and wanted to carry out his retirement plan himself.

Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly: "Huai Ru, hurry up and return the money to them."

If this gets out of hand, it won't be good for anyone.

Qin Huairu was very dissatisfied, feeling that Yi Zhonghai was useless.

She said pitifully, "Uncle, I really don't have that much money. Could you lend me some? I'll definitely pay you back when I have the money."

That doesn't work anymore.

Yi Zhonghai didn't have much money on hand and was unwilling to spend it.

He was dissatisfied with the people in the courtyard and wanted to bring them all down.

"Huai Ru, don't worry. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. When one is in trouble, help comes from all sides..."

Before he could finish his proverb, the people in the courtyard guessed his purpose.

"Oh dear, my pot is still on the stove, I'm afraid it will burn. I need to go back and check on it right away."

"My pot is on the stove too."

"Mine is too."

Everyone was too lazy to make up an excuse, so they all left the Intermediate People's Court using the same reason.

Soon, only the families of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu remained in courtyard number 95. The rest were just people who came to watch the spectacle.

Their eyes were filled with doubt; they couldn't understand why these people from courtyard number 95 were running so fast.

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were both furious and helpless when they saw this scene.

Those who came to settle scores with Qin Huairu were actually very happy to see this.

Before they arrived, they were worried that the neighbors in courtyard number 95 would favor Qin Huairu.

It was only after hearing that He Yuzhu, the deputy director of logistics, and Qin Huairu didn't get along that I felt comfortable coming over.

Now, seeing the behavior of the people in courtyard number 95, they feel even more at ease.

"Qin Huairu, don't push your luck. Taking money to do things has always been the rule."

If you take our money but fail to get things done for us, you must refund the money.

If you dare to renege on your promise, we will report you to the Municipal Song Committee.

I refuse to believe that anyone would dare to protect you, the captain of the female workers' disciplinary team.

Qin Huairu instinctively hid behind Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai, however, didn't want to get involved, nor did he dare to. He was now a lonely old man, with no one to protect him or take care of him.

He wouldn't dare offend anyone.

"Huai Ru, hurry home and get the money. We can't let this get out of hand. If it does, it won't be good for anyone."

Qin Huai said aggrievedly, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to pay back the money, I just can't come up with that much. Could you perhaps..."

Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped her from saying anything more. Qin Huai had never paid back the money she borrowed from him.

With his current salary of only thirty-five yuan, it's impossible for him to lend it to Qin Huairu.

"Could we ask Huairu to pay back part of it first? And then pay back the rest when she has the money?"

"Dream on. When you were collecting the money, why didn't you say you'd collect a portion first? Master Yi, if you want to get involved, lend her the money. If you don't want to get involved, then don't delay our business."

When facing outsiders, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's tactics all failed.

Without Sha Zhu, their henchman, they can only bully their own kind.

Jia Zhangshi just hid in her house with everyone else, clearly unwilling to pay any money.

Ultimately, Qin Huairu provided the money, using her personal savings.

Once the matter was resolved, everyone came out of the house.

He Yuzhu also finished his meal and came out of the restaurant.

Xu Damao said, "Do you think Yi Zhonghai will call on the people in the hospital to donate money?"

He Yuzhu said, "Isn't that obvious? Do you think that old man would be willing to pay back Qin Huairu's money?"

At the intersection, they saw several people who were looking for trouble with Qin Huairu.

Xu Damao ran over and asked a few questions, then ran back over.

"As soon as Yi Zhonghai said, 'When one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides,' everyone in the courtyard ran away."

Qin Huairu paid for all of this herself. She's quite wealthy.

He Yuzhu sneered, "Of course she's rich. I estimate she has more money in her hands than Yi Zhonghai has in his bank account."

Qin Huairu's side only takes in money and doesn't give it out. If they earn one yuan, they're already doing very well if they can spend three mao (0.3 yuan).

She has been married into the courtyard house for more than ten years, and the money she has saved is definitely not a small amount.

Of all the years of salary Yi Zhonghai had earned, he only gave 1,500 yuan to an old lady, leaving 1,500 yuan behind.

What about the rest of the money?
They're definitely all in Qin Huairu's hands.

Qin Huairu not only gets money from Yi Zhonghai, but Xu Damao in front of her is also her client.

He Yuzhu estimated that Xu Damao had contributed at least several hundred yuan to Qin Huairu.

These are all publicly known sources of income.

He Yuzhu had no idea how much money Yi Zhonghai actually had.

Looking through Sha Zhu's memories, He Yuzhu was certain that Yi Zhonghai had a lot of money.

Otherwise, Qin Huairu wouldn't have so happily served Yi Zhonghai, allowing him to enjoy a blissful old age.

As for how much money Yi Zhonghai has, Sha Zhu doesn't know, and neither does He Yuzhu.

This money was hidden by Yi Zhonghai from an elderly woman.

Xu Damao was somewhat skeptical of He Yuzhu's words. He knew Qin Huairu was wealthy, but he couldn't believe that Qin Huairu was wealthier than Yi Zhonghai.

"That's unlikely."

He Yuzhu said, "Why is it impossible? Think about it carefully, how much money does Qin Huairu earn and how much money does he spend?"

Xu Damao was calculating with his head down. After a while, he was shocked by the result.

He can't calculate what others have given, but he can probably calculate how much money he gave Qin Huairu.

He gave so much, Yi Zhonghai must have given a lot too.

"She keeps complaining about being poor, and we've all been fooled by her."

He Yuzhu corrected him: "Don't use 'we.' I haven't fallen for it at all."

You forgot about Yan Bugui. He kept saying his salary was 27.5 yuan, but what happened?

Of Yi Zhonghai's group, only Liu Haizhong is a fool; the rest are all quite shrewd.

The two entered the courtyard as they talked. Li Zhenjiang came up and told them about Yi Zhonghai's scheme.

He Yuzhu said, "I guessed it long ago. There's nothing strange about it."

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

He saw Yan Bugui eavesdropping nearby and deliberately cursed. (End of Chapter)
