Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yi Zhonghai and his wife had a big argument at the labor and personnel department over their wages.

The news quickly spread throughout the steel rolling mill.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu happily drank a glass of wine.

If Yi Zhonghai has high hopes for Qin Huairu, then he should be allowed to enjoy the same treatment that Sha Zhu received back then.

Yi Zhonghai was indeed smarter than Sha Zhu; he knew he couldn't give the money to Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu really wanted to find someone to persuade Yi Zhonghai to agree to give the money to Qin Huairu.

Unfortunately, there wasn't such a person.

When I got off work and returned to the alley, this was the only thing everyone in the neighborhood was talking about.

He Yuzhu did a rough count and found that all those who supported Yi Zhonghai were men, while all those who supported Qin Huairu were women.

Before even entering the courtyard, they could hear Jia Zhangshi cursing.

The insults were so vulgar they were impossible to describe.

The people in the courtyard were all watching the commotion, and even the entrance was blocked off.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to sit in the front yard. He parked his bicycle in front of Li Dagen's door.

Li Dagen then said to his eldest grandson, "Bring a stool over to your Uncle He."

Li Jian eagerly went to fetch a stool, wiping it with his sleeve: "Uncle He, please sit down."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You've got potential. Come over when my family has made something delicious."

Li Jian nodded excitedly: "Uncle He, I understand."

Li Dagen said, "He's just a glutton. Zhuzi, don't spoil him."

He Yuzhu said, "Being greedy isn't a bad habit."

Xu Damao came in from outside and said, "I remember you didn't say that before."

Isn't what you hate most about deaf old ladies with their gluttony?

He Yuzhu said, "What I hate is her black heart. She has no bottom line and no principles."

They're always thinking about taking advantage of others.

Seeing Yan Bugui trying to get closer, He Yuzhu added a comment.

Xu Damao had his back to Yan Bugui and didn't see it. He asked curiously, "Why does she always think about taking advantage of others?"

He Yuzhu didn't want to specifically point out Yan Bugui, so he said, "If I call you 'grandson' as soon as we meet, wouldn't that be considered taking advantage of you?"

Yan Bugui was initially annoyed by He Yuzhu's words, feeling that He Yuzhu was deliberately criticizing him.

After hearing He Yuzhu's explanation, he realized that the person wasn't talking about him.

How can you call it taking advantage of someone who got something through their own skill and calculation?

Besides, he had never taken advantage of He Yuzhu.

That's not him.

Yan Bugui then came over and asked, "Zhuzi, Da Mao, what's going on between Lao Yi and Qin Huairu?"

Xu Damao asked excitedly, "What else could it be?"

Qin Huai took Yi Zhonghai's salary without obtaining Yi Zhonghai's consent.

Yi Zhonghai was unhappy and caused a scene at the factory. You didn't see it, Qin Huairu cried her heart out in the labor and personnel department back then.

The personnel department also assured that no one else would be allowed to receive Yi Zhonghai's salary next month.

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling and insisted that the labor and personnel department pay him his salary.

Finally, the head of the labor relations department got angry and told Qin Huairu that if she didn't hand over the money, he would sue her.

If the case is filed, Qin Huai could be punished at best, and at worst lose his job.

She had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the money.

In the end, they deducted five yuan, which Yi Zhonghai was still unhappy about. He insisted on getting that five yuan back before he would be satisfied.

Li Zhenjiang said, "It's only five yuan, why are you making a fuss? What's going on?"

The people present all looked at him as if he were an idiot.

That's not just a matter of five dollars.

If Yi Zhonghai gives in this time, Qin Huairu will only ask for ten yuan next time, and the time after that it could be all of Yi Zhonghai's salary.

This head cannot be opened.

How did Sha Zhu get strangled by Qin Huairu back then?
It was because at the beginning, when Sha Zhu himself was struggling to get enough to eat, he lent Qin Huairu things without taking advantage of her.

With that as a starting point, Qin Huairu kept talking to Sha Zhu.

With Yi Zhonghai's encouragement, Sha Zhu found it increasingly difficult to refuse. After Jia Dongxu passed away, Sha Zhu had already lent Qin Huairu most of his monthly salary, and it still wasn't enough. He even had to use his savings for his future wife to satisfy Qin Huairu's appetite.

When He Yushui got married, Sha Zhu couldn't even afford a decent dowry.

In his entire life, Yi Zhonghai never had the chance to use this trick on Sha Zhu, but he did use it on Wu Tiezhu.

The only difference is that Wu Tiezhu eventually came to his senses, while Sha Zhu did not.

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "Zhenjiang, you won't get poor from eating or dressing, but you will get poor if you don't plan ahead."

If Lao Yi's salary ended up in Qin Huairu's hands, Qin Huairu could starve him to death.

Would you be willing to give your own salary to your wife?

Li Dagen glanced at his son, then remained silent, looking disgusted.

Li Zhenjiang looked away sheepishly. His salary was collected by Yu Li.

Yu Li is also a stingy person. Her advantage is that she's not as extreme as the Yan family.

She won't withhold money from her family members if they need it.

Yan Bugui knew he had asked in vain and mentally labeled Li Zhenjiang as an idiot.

In their family, everyone manages their own money. Don't be fooled by the fact that he and his third aunt are husband and wife; they keep their accounts very separate.

He wouldn't give his extra salary to the three aunties.

The three aunts wouldn't give Yan Bugui any of the money they earned themselves.

When they were exchanging old money for new money, he and the third auntie did it separately.

The couple kept separate bankbooks.

The money of the Yan family's children was also kept separate.

The New Year's money is all saved up by the children in the family themselves.

There is no such thing as a mother giving you her New Year's money and then taking it away from you.

Of course, Yan Bugui and his wife would never allow the New Year's money to remain in the hands of their children.

They will use other reasons to get the money back.

He Yuzhu said, "Yan Bugui, aren't you going to try and persuade him?"

Yan Bugui said with dissatisfaction, "Zhuzi, no matter what, I am your elder..."

He Yuzhu said, "Don't mention elders in front of me. If you do, I'll slap you."

Yan Bugui dared not bring it up again, and muttered, "Can't you address me with some respect? Who calls me by my name directly?"

He Yuzhu said, "You should be grateful that I didn't call you by your nickname."

Now Yan Bugui dared not dwell on this issue any longer.

"Let's not talk about the way we address each other. You're asking me to mediate this fight, aren't you just setting me up?"
Who am I supposed to persuade?

He Yuzhu said, "You can advise whomever you want."

Yan Bugui thought to himself that he also needed the courage. Both sides in the argument were people who wouldn't listen to advice.

No matter who you advise, you'll offend both sides.

He Yuzhu wouldn't let go of this, making it impossible for him to stay any longer, so he had no choice but to leave.

Xu Damao laughed and said, "Why are you targeting him like this?"

He Yuzhu said, "If we don't drive him away, he'll keep pestering us endlessly."

"You're back just in time. Quickly get the people at the door out of there. I need to go home."

Xu Damao turned his head and glanced around. The passageway was surrounded by people from the nearby courtyards.

Why aren't you doing it?

He Yuzhu said, "I don't have as much of a deterrent power as you."

The steel mill workers' disciplinary team's infamous reputation began with Liu Haizhong.

Back then, Liu Haizhong had already given the people in the vicinity quite a hard time.

If you call someone by the wrong name, Liu Haizhong will catch you and give you a lecture.

When Xu Damao became the captain, he hated these people for helping Yi Zhonghai spread rumors about him, and he didn't treat them well.

Although Xu Damao did not deliberately cause trouble for these people, they were afraid of him.

Xu Damao shouted, and the people blocking the doorway made way.

He Yuzhu followed the road home, not disturbing Jia Zhangshi's scolding of Yi Zhonghai. (End of Chapter)
