Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The two widows of the Jia family were also troubled. They were preoccupied with the matter of the sticks and therefore did not go out to watch the commotion.

Not only did they not go, but Yi Zhonghai also didn't go. Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Yan Bugui would come looking for him, so he hid at home.

Yi Zhonghai stayed at home for another reason: Banggeng was going to the countryside.

This life is different from the one Shazhu lived.

At that time, Bang Geng was only thirteen years old. He was humiliated by being hung up with a broken shoe and couldn't bear the shock.

He kept this matter in mind.

Seeing that Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu were still so close, he was afraid that the two would get married, so he signed up to go to the countryside.

Back then, with Sha Zhu's help, Bang Geng never suffered.

He thought the countryside was the same as a traditional courtyard house.

Although Banggeng didn't suffer much in this life, it was far less comfortable than his previous life.

He knew that life outside was tough, so naturally he didn't want to go to the countryside.

But if you don't go to the countryside, you can only find a job.

The two widows were considered important figures within the courtyard, but once they left, nobody paid them any attention.

Jia Zhangshi was under the least pressure, and said to Qin Huairu, "Aren't you familiar with the leaders of the steel rolling mill? Go and beg them to give Bang Geng a job."

Qin Huai had no choice but to agree.

She simply forgot that because of her, many people's children were laid off even after they had worked in the steel rolling mill.

Those who were implicated have been keeping a close eye on this matter.

Inside the steel rolling mill, no leader dared to help her.

Not to mention steel rolling mills, it won't work for any other units either.

No matter which organization Qin Huai finds a job at, someone will report him.

These are things that the two widows could never have imagined.

They always believed that since their family was poor, it was only natural for others to help and take care of them.

Even if they do something wrong, others should apologize to them.

Yi Zhonghai is to blame for fostering this kind of thinking.

Who told Yi Zhonghai to compromise his principles in order to help the Jia family?

Qin Huairu got up to prepare dinner. After going out, she saw Yan Jiedi by the pond in the middle courtyard.

She asked in surprise, "Jie Di, what are you doing here?"

Yan Jiedi knew that He Yuzhu didn't like Qin Huairu, so she didn't dare to say too much to Qin Huairu.

"I have nowhere to go tonight, so I'll stay at Brother Zhu's house for the night."

I'll find a place to stay tomorrow.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Sha Zhu's house is just sitting idle anyway. You can continue living there."

She wasn't that kind-hearted.

He Yushui's room had been empty for a long time, and Qin Huairu had long wanted to take it over.

Unfortunately, He Yuzhu wouldn't budge. He'd rather leave the house empty than allow Bang Geng to move in.

Yan Jiedi's move in this time is equivalent to opening a door.

Once she finds a job for Banggeng, she'll try to get rid of Yan Jiedi.

Then let the stalk live inside.

It was with this thought in mind that she said the above.

Although Yan Jiedi couldn't guess Qin Huairu's ulterior motives, she instinctively knew that Qin Huairu was plotting something.

Having grown up in a calculating environment, Yan Jiedi has a strong premonition of being manipulated.

“That’s someone else’s house. What right do I have to live there?”

I'll only stay for two or three days at most. I won't stay anymore when I go to the countryside.

She was very cautious and didn't mention anything about work.

Qin Huairu was somewhat displeased when he heard that Yan Jiedi would only stay for two or three days.

For her, two or three days was far too short. It wasn't enough time for her to build a relationship with He Yuzhu.

In order to achieve her goal, she decided to deceive Yan Jiedi, at least to get her to help buy some time.

"Don't be impulsive. I come from the countryside, and I know the hardships there best. You're just a girl; you can't possibly endure it. Listen to me, go back and beg your third uncle to help you find a job."

Yan Jiedi sneered, "Do you think my father would spend money to buy me a job?"

Qin Huai was speechless.

Someone as smart as her would surely know that Yan Bugui wouldn't be willing to spend money.

Yan Jiedi was too lazy to continue chatting with Qin Huairu, so she took the basin of water and put it back in He Yushui's room.

She came out of the house and immediately locked the door.

"Sister-in-law, you're pregnant and it's inconvenient for you to wash clothes. If you have any clothes that need washing, just give them to me. I'll wash them for you."

"No need, Auntie. Hurry up and finish cooking, it's time for us to eat."

During the meal, Yan Jiedi took the initiative to bring up Qin Huairu's words.

"I couldn't figure out what Qin Huairu's purpose was, but I felt that her purpose was definitely not pure."

He Yuzhu immediately saw through Qin Huairu's purpose.

"Ignore her. She's just dreaming again, trying to borrow our house."

Yan Jiedi immediately said, "We absolutely must not lend it to her. She never returns things she borrows from others."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't lend it to her. Let's eat quickly."

Because of this, He Yuzhu and Yan Bugui had a bad relationship throughout their lives.

This was the first time Yan Jiedi had eaten at He Yuzhu's house.

She looked at the food on the table, unsure of where to start.

There was no other way; the Yan family always divided the food before they could eat.

Unlike now, the plates are just there, and you can pick whatever you want to eat.

Seeing that she was a little reserved, Lin Jinghan put a piece of meat on her plate and said, "Eat quickly."

With tears in her eyes, Yan Jiedi took a bite and said, "It's so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious food in my entire life."

This is true.

The food at the Yan family's house was always at the bare minimum. As long as you didn't die from eating and could last until the next meal, that was enough.

As the youngest child in the family, Yan Jiedi really didn't get to eat much good food.

In the front yard of the Yan family's house, the third aunt had prepared the meal, and Yan Bugui was preparing to distribute it.

The third aunt said, "It's just the two of us eating at home, so let's not divide it up."

Yan Bugui glanced at Yan Jiedi's location and suddenly sighed.

"what happened to you?"

"Jie Di ate at Sha Zhu's house. I never had the chance to eat at Sha Zhu's house."

The three aunts said, "That silly Zhu was fine when he was little, but how come he's become so unfilial now that he's grown up?"

Of all the elders in the courtyard, only Li Dagen was allowed to eat at his house.

Yan Bugui caught a faint fragrance and, forgetting his sadness, reminded the Third Aunt, "Stop talking. If Jie Di eats it, our family will save on a meal."

Let's enjoy the aroma of their food while we eat.

Upon hearing this, the three women immediately picked up the cornbread, smelled its faint aroma, and began to eat.

"Old Yi and the Jia family are still the happiest. They live in the same courtyard as Sha Zhu and smell the most fragrances."

If the two families heard this, they would definitely argue with the third aunt.

They smelled the delicious aroma wafting from He Yuzhu's house every day, but couldn't eat a single bite. It was incredibly torturous.

At this moment, the two families were cursing He Yuzhu at home.

Hearing Jia Zhangshi's curses, Qin Huairu would no longer feign concern and try to stop her.

As for Bang Geng, he's becoming more and more like Jia Dongxu. He just sat there, acting like he knew nothing.

When Jia Dongxu died, Xiao Dang was very young, and Xiao Huaihua hadn't been born yet. Only he remembered what Jia Dongxu looked like back then.

Across the street, at Yi Zhonghai's house, his eyes were filled with resentment. He hated He Yuzhu for being heartless and unfilial.

At that moment, he completely forgot that he had done He Yuzhu no favors, nor did he consider He Yuzhu as someone to support him in his old age.

He Yuzhu was aware of all this. But his wife was pregnant, and he couldn't let her suffer for the sake of his beastly desires. (End of Chapter)
