Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He Yuzhu's family stayed in the small courtyard for a few days, but they still wanted to return to their traditional courtyard house.

If he doesn't go home for a long time, it will arouse suspicion among the people in the compound.

If the time is short, you can say you're staying at a friend's house or a guesthouse.

Over time, this reason will become obsolete.

Moreover, He Yuzhu was also worried that the people in the courtyard would try to take advantage of his house.

You see, the children in the compound are all getting old, and there's no room left in their homes.

Especially in the Jia family, Banggeng is almost eighteen years old and still has to squeeze into one room with several women in the family.

Throughout Sha Zhu's life, Qin Huairu had long been eyeing Sha Zhu's house.

If Qin Huai is willing to get involved and agree to marry Sha Zhu, it's possible that she has her eye on the He family's property.

If Ran Qiuye doesn't appear, and if Qin Huai doesn't say she's willing to marry Sha Zhu...

She felt perfectly justified in tidying up He Yushui's little house and letting Banggeng move in.

The moment Ran Qiuye appeared, she revealed her true feelings, saying that it was too much of a coincidence that she had Sha Zhu in her heart.

Qin Huairu's decision to stage a midnight funeral might not be entirely unrelated to the house.

He Yuzhu really doesn't care about the house.

Even if houses here become incredibly expensive decades from now, it won't mean much to him.

He is confident that he is earning enough money with his current abilities.

But no matter how much he didn't care, he wouldn't let Yi Zhonghai and his ilk take advantage of him.

He wanted to make Yi Zhonghai taste what it was like to be kicked out of his home.

He Yuzhu chose to return to the courtyard house for another reason: Qin Huairu seemed to have set her sights on Yan Jiecheng.

Recently, Yi Zhonghai and his two apprentices have been frequently eating together in the cafeteria, and their relationship seems quite close.

Yi Zhonghai used the guise of teaching his apprentices, and it seemed genuinely so, so no one could really say anything.

He Yuzhu, however, did not believe that Yi Zhonghai would really be willing to teach his apprentice.

Back then, when Banggeng returned to the city and had no job, even this level eight worker was unwilling to help him.

A level eight worker is someone who can directly make suggestions to the factory director and the Ministry of Industry.

Getting a job for a bang geng is no problem for Yi Zhonghai at all.

What about Yi Zhonghai?

He just watched Qin Huairu in a difficult position, and watched Bang Geng go to learn how to project movies from Xu Damao.

How could someone as selfish as him genuinely teach Yan Jiecheng his skills?
You can tell what he means by always pairing Yan Jiecheng and Qin Huairu together.

This is the same trick I used to deal with Sha Zhu back then.

Sha Zhu was indeed attracted to Qin Huairu's beauty, but he would never dare to take advantage of her.

It was Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu who used this trick to bury Sha Zhu in a pit.

If He Yuzhu's guess is correct, they will soon be spreading some dubious rumors.

Liu Lan returned in a flurry, bringing with her explosive news.

"Someone just saw Qin Huairu and Yan Jiecheng hugging each other in the abandoned workshop."

"Really?"

Liu Lan said excitedly, "Of course it's true. Sister Hua saw it with her own eyes."

Hearing that Sister Hua had seen it with her own eyes, everyone stopped doubting it.

Meng Bo set up a female workers' disciplinary team, ostensibly as a watchdog squad targeting people like Sister Hua.

After Qin Huairu became the team leader, she caused a lot of trouble for Sister Hua and her gang.

After Qin Huairu stepped down, Sister Hua and her gang never gave up targeting him.

"Didn't Sister Hua let them watch the melons?" someone asked.

Liu Lan looked regretful: "Sister Hua was too late; they separated immediately."

Yi Zhonghai appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.

The others also looked regretful.

Sister Hua and her colleagues had been warned by the factory not to show melons to others casually.

This was something Meng Bo and his group strongly demanded. They were afraid of retaliation from Sister Hua and her group.

Those in the factory who had suffered under the melon-watching team also agreed.

Under such immense pressure, Sister Hua and the others became much more restrained in order to focus on their work.

Not daring to take action, they could only talk. He Yuzhu believed that the news would spread throughout the steel rolling mill before the end of the workday.

Liu Lan returned, delivered the news, and then ran out again.

He Yuzhu sneered inwardly.

Yi Zhonghai's tactics might be effective against Sha Zhu, but they're basically useless against Yan Jiecheng.

Given the nature of the Yan family, there's only one way to get Yan Jiecheng to obey: give him money.

Wanting Yan Jiecheng to pay is a pipe dream.

Before leaving get off work, Liu Lan brought back another piece of news. She said someone had questioned Qin Huairu, who neither confirmed nor denied it.

Still the same routine.

As the workers went home, the news spread beyond the steel rolling mill.

When He Yuzhu returned to Nanluoguxiang, he heard people in the neighborhood talking about these issues.

Back at the courtyard house, I saw Yan Bugui sitting there with a long face, looking depressed.

Neighbors came and went, but he didn't make a sound.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "Serves him right," and went home with a smile.

In the past, when Yi Zhonghai wanted to spread rumors about others, the three aunties were the main force.

Both Sha Zhu in his previous life and Wu Tie Zhu in this life are victims.

Now it's his turn to experience the bitterness.

When He Yuzhu returned home, Lin Jinghan was cleaning the house with her two children.

When Lin Jinghan saw He Yuzhu return, she asked, "What happened? Everything was fine, how did the rumors about Yan Jiecheng and Qin Huairu suddenly appear?"

He Yuzhu said, "What else could it be? Qin Huairu is having a hard time, and Yi Zhonghai is unwilling to pay, so he has to find a sucker."

The people in the courtyard basically ignored Qin Huairu.

Only Xu Damao, who never learns his lesson, still tries to get close to Qin Huairu.

Even if you beat Yi Zhonghai to death, he wouldn't dare let Qin Huairu have any contact with Xu Damao.

After counting and comparing, only Yan Jiecheng is suitable.

He used the guise of teaching techniques to bring the two together. Then he made some ambiguous gestures and spread rumors.

That's how Wu Tiezhu was back then.

Lin Jinghan shook her head: "Yan Jiecheng is really stupid. Doesn't he know how to be careful?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "He's not stupid. Let me tell you, Yi Zhonghai's scheme this time will not succeed at all."

Who are the Yan family?

He is notoriously stingy.

Yi Zhonghai's idea that Yan Jiecheng would pay for Qin Huairu's care is a pipe dream.

It's already good enough that Yan Jiecheng isn't asking Yi Zhonghai for money in return.

Lin Jinghan couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the Yan family's personalities.

"Logically speaking, Yi Zhonghai should know the Yan family's temperament very well. How could he still dare to scheme against Yan Jiecheng?"

This is unlike his usual style; it looks too clumsy.

Isn't it just clumsy?
When Lou Xiao'e returned from Hong Kong, Yi Zhonghai's methods of stopping Sha Zhu also appeared extremely clumsy.

They sent Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to take turns talking to Sha Zhu.

This is Sha Zhu.

If it were anyone else, who would bother with them?

Lou Xiao'e brought Sha Zhu's only son with her.

Can their old faces compare to He Xiao's weight?
Besides, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were not on his side at all.

If it weren't for Lou Xiao'e's bad relationship with these two people, especially Liu Haizhong...

If you give them even a small favor, they will absolutely persuade Sha Zhu to follow Lou Xiao'e without hesitation.

“In the past, he relied on the deaf old lady for advice. When the deaf old lady didn’t help, the things he did were only at this level.”

This time, they were probably driven to desperation by Qin Huairu, leaving them no choice but to seek help from Yan Jiecheng.

This is a matter for the Yan family; it has nothing to do with us. I'd better hurry up and cook, so my precious daughter doesn't go hungry.

As for his son, He Yuzhu is also annoyed by him now; he's at that age where he's disliked by everyone and even dogs, and he's really not likable. (End of Chapter)
