Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

When Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai bringing over wine and dishes, he knew it was no good news.

But I just couldn't bring myself to say the word "refuse".

"Old Yi, what's going on?"

Yi Zhonghai sat down with a smile: "I came to have a drink with you."

"You need something from me, right?" Yan Bugui asked.

Yi Zhonghai replied, "I can't contact you unless there's something wrong."

"Yes. Of course it is." Yan Bugui said this, but he didn't really believe it.

Yi Zhonghai can't cook, yet he's bringing dishes over now; even a fool would know what's going on.

Yi Zhonghai followed Yan Bugui's gaze and looked at the dishes on the table.

He immediately realized that Yan Bugui had guessed it.

He said, "That's right, it was Huai Ru who contacted me. However, this matter is also beneficial to you."

Yan Bugui asked, puzzled, "What does this have to do with me?"

There was one more thing he didn't say: he didn't need to support himself in old age.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Doesn't your Jie Di need to consider the issue of cutting in line?"

She's a girl, aren't you afraid she'll be bullied outside?

They'll bring their poor relatives to beg for money from you later.

Yan Bugui chuckled: "What am I afraid of? She's separated from me. From now on, we're two separate families."

Yi Zhonghai was taken aback by Yan Bugui's answer and it took him a while to react.

"You're quite the schemer. No wonder you separated from Jie Di so readily."

But I'd like to ask you, are you really not going to care about Jie Di?

Yan Bugui said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to take care of it, it's that I really don't have the ability to do so."

My situation is unclear to others, but don't you know it too?

Where am I supposed to find her a job?

And also, Lao Yi, if it's about Bang Geng, then don't mention it.

"Gang Geng's situation leaves him with only one option: going to the countryside. Nobody dares to help him."

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, even if someone dared, he wouldn't allow it.

"The stick must leave," he said.

“I know. It’s actually not a bad idea to let Banggeng go to the countryside to get some experience.”

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "You're right to think that way. There's something I'm going to say that you might not like, but I still have to say it."

Banggeng, that kid, was spoiled rotten by his sister-in-law and Qin Huairu.

He won't learn well if he doesn't learn a lesson.

Yi Zhonghai corrected, "It's not that Huai Ru is spoiled. Huai Ru has no say at home."

Yan Bugui had no intention of arguing with Yi Zhonghai about this issue.

Now that Qin Huairu is Yi Zhonghai's wife, he can't say too much.

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Bang Geng really needs to be trained. It's just that Huai Ru loves her child and can't bear to."

I came here today to ask you what route Jie Kuang took to get to Fangshan.”

Yan Bugui said somewhat angrily, "Don't ask me, I don't know."

Yi Zhonghai sensed that he was unwilling to talk, so he continued to persuade him: "Old Yan, just tell me. Whether you're herding one sheep or two sheep, it's all the same."

This time, Banggeng and Jiedi are paired together so that they can look after each other.

It's not safe for a girl to go out alone. With Banggeng by her side, you can rest assured, right?

Yan Bugui said, "I really don't know. He didn't say anything to me when he left."

Yi Zhonghai stared at Yan Bugui for a while before believing what Yan Bugui said.

"Go ask Yan Jiekuang what path he took."

Yan Bugui was unhappy.

Fangshan is not far, but it's not close either; a round trip will cost a lot of money.

Besides, if he goes to Yan Jiekuang, do you think Yan Jiekuang will tell him?

impossible.

Yan Jiekuang will definitely ask him for money.

Don't ask him why he's so sure.

The answer is that this rule was taught to him from a young age.

"What's the point of asking him? I've heard that very few people can be assigned to locations near the capital."

If you don't have a way, don't even think about it. If you ask me, it's better to go find Sha Zhu.

He was a leader at the steel rolling mill and had good relations with the local street office.

How could Yi Zhonghai not know these things?

Of course he knew.

I also thought about going to find He Yuzhu.

But why didn't he go?

Because He Yuzhu wouldn't help him.

For so many years, He Yuzhu has always gone against him. He has never listened to him at all.

"Don't mention that selfish person. If he were willing to help, would the atmosphere in our courtyard have become like this?"

Is it because you secretly instructed Jie Di that she is now living in his house?

Old Yan, you're something else!

Yan Bugui neither admitted nor denied it.

Yan Jiedi learned all her scheming from him. Now that she can live in He Yuzhu's house and even eat with him, it's naturally thanks to him.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Then go ask Jie Di? As long as you can get Bang Geng assigned to a place near Beijing, Huai Ru will definitely be very grateful to you."

Yan Bugui simply sipped his wine slowly, without saying a word.

What is Qin Huairu's gratitude?
At most, they'll say a few nice words.

Is he someone who needs a few kind words?
He is not.

Talk is nicer than singing, but it's not as practical as money or goods.

Yi Zhonghai naturally knew what kind of person Yan Bugui was. Seeing that he wouldn't fall for it, he could only say, "I will also thank you properly."

Yan Bugui considered it carefully and realized that this matter had great potential. He didn't have to pay anything; Yan Jiedi would be the one to step forward, and he would be the one to benefit.

You'd better keep your word.

Yi Zhonghai said with dissatisfaction, "Don't worry. If you can't trust others, can't you trust me?"

Once everything is settled, I'll have Huairu prepare a good meal and treat you to drinks alone.

Yan Bugui then agreed.

After Yi Zhonghai left, he instructed the Third Aunt to go and find Yan Jiedi.

When Yan Jiedi saw that Bang Geng had been reported, she worried that someone would try to sabotage her.

In order to avoid being discovered by the people in the compound, she did not move to the scrap yard.

She planned to wait until the arrangements for this group of people going to the countryside were complete, especially after Banggeng left, before revealing the news.

Therefore, she is still living in He Yuzhu's house.

"We've already separated, what do you want from me? Are you going to buy me a job?"

Yan Bugui said, "All you know is how to buy jobs. Where's the money? Give me the money, and I'll find a way to help you right away."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiedi immediately lost interest in staying.

"If you're not going to buy me a job, then why are you calling me? I need to find odd jobs tomorrow, so I'm going back to rest."

The three older women stopped her, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? Would your father and I harm you?"

Yan Bugui said, "Sit down. I called you here today to talk about your assignment to the countryside, so you won't complain about me later."

Yan Jiedi was somewhat puzzled. Based on her understanding, Yan Bugui would never have such a kind heart.

"Tell me. What are you planning to do? Give me money or something else?"

Yan Bugui said with dissatisfaction, "All you care about is money. You won't do anything if you don't have money."

Our family is in a situation where we can't afford it.

Your mother and I came up with a plan: we'll let you cut in line near Beijing.

The best course of action is to find someone to relieve the pain.

Yan Jiedi chuckled: "No money, no service, that's what you taught us siblings."

And another thing, do you think I wouldn't have thought it would be good to cut in line near the capital? But why should they let me stay in the capital?

Yan Bugui said in a serious tone, "So, I've come up with a plan for you. Go ask Sha Zhu for help. He definitely has the ability to get you a job near the capital."

Yan Jiedi knew immediately that this was a scheme to frame He Yuzhu.

She said, "Why should Brother Zhu help me? Look at how badly you've offended him."

Yan Bugui, however, said, "You need to be strategic. If you use the right strategy, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

I racked my brains and came up with a really good idea. I guarantee Sha Zhu will agree to it.

Do you want to listen? (End of Chapter)
