Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Meanwhile, Qin Huairu was sitting at Yi Zhonghai's house with a worried look on her face.

"Uncle, what's going on? Why are they saying those things about us?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "I asked Lao Yan. He said it was a few strangers who came to the alley and started talking about it."

This must have been done by Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

Qin Huairu had actually guessed it long ago. They hadn't offended anyone else recently, except He Yuzhu.

"So what do we do next?"

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly, "It's nothing. Didn't they mention that we ate together?"
From now on, when you bring me food, just leave it at the door.

If you don't come in, they'll say it's spreading rumors, and I'll go to the police to have them arrested.

When the police handled the case, they made the Jia family pay for the medical expenses and also warned those who spread rumors.

Anyone who dares to spread such rumors will be arrested.

Qin Huairu is not happy about it.

These days, Yi Zhonghai is far less generous than before. Borrowing money from him is extremely difficult.

Forget about getting money by shedding a couple of tears, like before.

She made money by dining with Yi Zhonghai and flattering him.

"But how do we discuss dealing with Sha Zhu?"

Yi Zhonghai laughed and said, "Huai Ru, have you forgotten how we used to do things?"

"Just let them not know, that's all."

Qin Huairu was not happy. She was worried that Yi Zhonghai would force himself on her.

Yi Zhonghai often says he wants a child.

Although she had an IUD, she didn't dare let Yi Zhonghai succeed, for fear that he would become suspicious.

“But the stick is too big, I’m afraid he’ll find out.”

Yi Zhonghai didn't seem to care and said, "Just be careful."

We don't see each other often.

If Bang Geng hears any noise, just say you're going to the toilet.

Besides, Bang Geng is your son; would he deliberately try to embarrass you?

If Qin Huai insists, Yi Zhonghai's method will naturally not work.

The key issue is that she doesn't want to persist. How can she get money from Yi Zhonghai if she doesn't meet with him?

"Then we can only say a few words. Otherwise, it would be really bad if Bang Geng found out."

Yi Zhonghai readily agreed.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Qin Huairu left Yi Zhonghai's house.

There had been much discussion about Qin Huairu leaving Yi Zhonghai's house.

With all that talk going on, who wouldn't take a second look when passing by Yi Zhonghai's house?

Just then, Qin Huairu came out and was seen by several people.

Qin Huairu also noticed the looks in those people's eyes and awkwardly explained, "I was helping an old man clean his house."

This explanation is completely useless.

He Yuzhu was also watching the two's movements. He was holding He Yushui's notebook in his hand, which recorded the secret code between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu before their meeting.

Lin Jinghan said, "What exactly are you planning to do? Have Xu Damao build a relationship with Liu Haizhong, and then have him catch them cheating?"
In the past, Liu Haizhong would definitely have done this in order to act like a big shot.

Would he still do that now?

He Yuzhu said, "He definitely wouldn't do that. Do you think he doesn't know about Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's meeting in the middle of the night?"

He had seen it more than once. Not only him, but many people in the compound had witnessed Yi Zhonghai delivering food to Qin Huairu in the middle of the night.

Lin Jinghan was even more puzzled: "They didn't say it before, but now they can say it?"

He Yuzhu said, "That's because I didn't intend to deal with Yi Zhonghai before."

Since I'm going to deal with him this time, I naturally won't let Yi Zhonghai escape.

After Qin Huairu entered Yi Zhonghai's house, I went to the courtyard to confront Liu Haizhong. I wanted to find an excuse to argue with Liu Haizhong.

He will definitely knock on Yi Zhonghai's door and ask him to come out and help.

If Yi Zhonghai doesn't open the door, he'll offend Liu Haizhong; if he does open it, he'll see Qin Huairu.

Lin Jinghan said helplessly, "I don't understand. There are so many ways to deal with Yi Zhonghai, why do you have to use this one?"

She didn't stop He Yuzhu, but let him handle the matter. Lin Jinghan also wanted to see if Yi Zhonghai would marry Qin Huairu after he was arrested.

More importantly, they wanted to see how Yi Zhonghai would manage to marry Qin Huairu.

Marrying Qin Huairu was no easy feat; one had to get past Jia Zhangshi first.

He Yuzhu assumed that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu would meet on the very first day.

This is also why he asked Xu Damao to go drink with Liu Haizhong.

As a result, the two did not leave any secret signals to meet, nor did they meet.

He had no idea that Qin Huairu had just asked Yi Zhonghai for money yesterday.

She lost interest in meeting Yi Zhonghai because he wouldn't give her money for two consecutive days.

The next day, He Yuzhu did not let Xu Damao go to Liu Haizhong for drinks.

Drinking every day is too likely to arouse suspicion.

A few days later, He Yuzhu discovered the pattern of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's meetings and asked Xu Damao to go drink with Liu Haizhong.

The effect was not good.

Liu Haizhong got up a little early. When he returned, Qin Huairu had just quietly come out of the house.

There's nothing we can do; these kinds of opportunities are rare and hard to come by.

The closest Qin Huairu came was when Liu Haizhong walked out of the backyard just as Qin Huairu came out of the house.

"Qin Huairu, what are you doing up in the middle of the night?"

Qin Huairu was startled and said in a panic, "Second Uncle, my stomach is upset."

Liu Haizhong didn't suspect anything and also clutched his stomach as he walked out.

He Yuzhu was furious inside the house; it was just a hair's breadth away from him.

Liu Haizhong was able to witness Qin Huairu entering Yi Zhonghai's house.

After a few times, He Yuzhu noticed that Yi Zhonghai seemed to deliberately avoid meeting Liu Haizhong during his nighttime waking hours.

He felt that we couldn't rely solely on fate; we needed to add some human intervention.

He Yuzhu called Liu Guangfu over: "Do you know when your father gets up at night?"

Liu Guangfu said, "I know. My dad gets up every night at 12:40."

"Brother Zhu, why are you asking this?"

He Yuzhu said, "Help me stop him for fifteen minutes."

Liu Guangfu was somewhat troubled: "How can I stop him? He's in a hurry to go to the toilet. If I stop him, he'll hit me."

He Yuzhu said, "If you help me get it done, I'll give you a bicycle ticket."

Having a bicycle will make commuting to and from get off work much easier. It'll also make finding a wife easier.

Liu Guangfu was tempted, but hesitated: "I can find a way to stop him, but I can't stop him every time."

He Yuzhu said, "Just stop Xu Damao the day he asked you to drink."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangfu thought it was so simple and agreed.

He Yuzhu wasn't stingy either, and gave him a bicycle ticket directly.

Once he has the bicycle ticket, he'll definitely try to trick Liu Haizhong into paying for it.

When he leaves with the things, it will be considered that he has tricked Liu Haizhong.

After everything was ready, He Yuzhu approached Xu Damao again and asked him to drink with Liu Guangfu once more.

Xu Damao was somewhat displeased: "Is your method even going to work?"

Can't I spend that time with my daughter?
Why do I have to drink with that idiot with bangs?

He Yuzhu said, "Stop complaining. We'll succeed soon. I'm paying to buy you drinks, and you're still not happy."

Xu Damao said unhappily, "I don't care. You have to get me a dish, or I won't do it."

He Yuzhu had already seen that Qin Huairu had left a secret signal at the door.

He felt confident that he would succeed tonight, so he agreed to Xu Damao's request.

"I'll get you a meat dish."

Xu Damao then left satisfied.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and realized that Liu Haizhong didn't always get up at night.

He then asked Liu Guangfu to wake Liu Haizhong up at 12:50. (End of Chapter)
