Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After several years of struggle, the child Yi Zhonghai wanted did not come.

Because of all this turmoil, he has exhausted too much energy and aged considerably.

Now, he no longer has much hope of having children.

His main requirement for Qin Huairu was that she be able to support him in his old age.

"Huai Ru, don't cry. If there were a way to bring Bang Geng back, would I not help? But I really can't."

Qin Huai pleaded, "But has Yan Jiekuang found a job?"
Could we talk to him and ask him to give up his job to Bang Geng for now?

Yi Zhonghai paused for a moment, then looked at Qin Huairu with a puzzled expression.

That's not just anything; it's a job. Who would willingly give it up to someone else?

Qin Huairu explained, "Look, Yan Jiekuang was sent to work in the countryside in Fangshan. He can come to Beijing anytime he wants."

Even if he loses this job, he can find other jobs.

At worst, I'll just come back to visit often.

But it's different for him. He's in the Northwest, and it takes him several days just to get back.

Even if we get the news about the job, by the time he comes back, it will be too late.

Also, Yan Jiedi and Sha Zhu have a very good relationship now.

He should ask Yan Jiedi to go find Sha Zhu.

Changing the job opening is just a matter of a word.

So losing this job didn't have a big impact on him.

The impact on the club-shaped stem is much greater.

Yi Zhonghai admitted that Qin Huairu's words made some sense. But while the truth is one thing, whether others are willing to listen is another matter entirely.

"Can you persuade Yan Jiekuang to give up his job to Bang Geng?"

Qin Huairu said with a bitter face, "I discussed it with him. I said I would give him fifty yuan, but he was not willing."

Yi Zhonghai's lips twitched involuntarily. Even a fool wouldn't trade fifty yuan for a job opportunity.

Qin Huairu knew that she hadn't offered enough money. But she couldn't just offer several hundred yuan right away; that would be too much of a loss.

Besides, Yan Jiekuang didn't spend any money to get this job; he earned the fifty yuan.

Qin Huai said, "Zhonghai, Banggeng is the only boy in our family."

In the future, we'll have to rely on Banggeng for our retirement. If he gets married locally, he won't be able to come back.

What will happen to our retirement?
You've read Banggeng's recent letter; he's realized his mistake.

He also said he's willing to treat you like a father and take care of you in your old age.

The prerequisite for providing this retirement care is that he has to come back first.

"Think of a way."

Bang Geng was sent to the countryside in Northwest China, and Qin Huairu would send him ten yuan every month as his living expenses.

At first, Qin Huairu felt sorry for her son and was quite generous when sending him money.

But after a while, she became unwilling. Her current income is not high.

After deducting living expenses, Jia Zhangshi's pension, and the expenses of Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua from the little money they earned, there was basically nothing left.

She can't possibly work hard for a month and end up with nothing.

Having no other options, Qin Huai turned his attention to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai has never been generous. He used to earn a lot of money and didn't care about small sums.

But now that they earn less, they've started to be more calculating.

Bang Geng disrespected Yi Zhonghai, so Yi Zhonghai refused to give Bang Geng money.

In order to get Yi Zhonghai to pay, Qin Huairu wrote a letter forcing Bang Geng to apologize.

Bang Geng didn't apologize at first, so Qin Huairu took the opportunity to stop giving Bang Geng money.

Faced with the choice between enduring hardship and swallowing one's pride, Banggeng chose to swallow his pride. In the end, he lowered his head and wrote a letter to Yi Zhonghai apologizing.

Yi Zhonghai initially put on airs and refused to pay attention.

As Qin Huairu's pregnancy continued without success, he had no choice but to compromise.

Qin Huairu knew he was concerned about his image, so she deliberately leaked the contents of the letter containing the plaster.

Having gained face, Yi Zhonghai went along with it and contributed some money.

In response, He Yuzhu simply cursed him with the word "despicable".

This isn't an insult to Yi Zhonghai, it's an insult to Sha Zhu.

Back then, Banggeng cut in line, and although it was in Fangshan, the monthly expenses were still considerable. In the same situation, Shazhu chose to offer money proactively, trying to curry favor with Banggeng.

As a result, the money was paid, but the other party didn't appreciate it at all.

Look at Yi Zhonghai, he made the Koreans bow down with just a few casual gestures.

Although Bang Geng's bowing was not genuine, it was most likely an attempt to swindle money from Yi Zhonghai.

But even with this kind of insincerity, Sha Zhu couldn't get what he wanted. What else could it be but cheapness?

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head, thought it over, and ultimately had no choice but to give up.

He doesn't know many people outside, and even fewer who are capable.

The two most capable people are He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

These two people are the least likely to help him.

"Huai Ru, it's not that I don't want to help. I also want to get back at Bang Geng. But who's willing to help me?"

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are capable, but there's no way they'd help us.

Qin Huairu said, "You can go find Third Master?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't understand why seeking help from Yan Bugui would be of any use in this matter.

Yan Bugui has little influence with He Yuzhu.

Yan Bugui's reputation is not as great as Liu Haizhong's.

"Even Sha Zhu doesn't like Lao Yan."

Qin Huairu said, "I know Shazhu doesn't like him. What I mean is that you go to him, give him some benefits, and ask him to persuade Yan Jiekuang to give the job to Banggeng."

He's the kind of person who loves to take advantage of others; if you give him a benefit, he'll definitely agree.

Yi Zhonghai knew that this method might succeed, but Yan Bugui's asking price would definitely not be low.

Who will pay for this?
That's what he was thinking, so he asked the question.

Qin Huairu certainly hoped Yi Zhonghai would come out, but she also knew it was impossible.

"I've saved up some money here, you can contribute some of it later."

If Banggeng knew you were paying for his job, he'd be incredibly grateful.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and agreed. As for how to pay in the end, that would be discussed after meeting Yan Bugui.

He Yuzhu also understood Yan Jiekuang's meaning.

"So, you're getting married in a few days?"

He inquired and discovered that Yan Jiekuang had changed his marriage partner in this lifetime.

However, this is not a big problem.

Yan Jiekuang said, "That's right, if I don't get married, no one will be willing to give me a job."

Brother Zhu, I'll stay at your house for a few days, and then I'll move out after I get married.

The main problem is that the wedding room there wasn't ready.

I can pay for your accommodation.

He Yuzhu waved his hand: "No need. I have to give face since Jie Di brought you here."

However, that room is for Yuanhang; he still needs to study. Just don't interfere with his studies.

Yan Jiekuang said, "Don't worry about that. I'll only be back at night; I won't be home during the day."

He Yuzhu then called He Yuanhang over and asked him to take Yan Jiekuang to settle him in.

If you have a bed board at home, you can make a temporary bed using stools.

He asked Yan Jiedi, "You seem to have quite a lot of contact with Jie Kuang."

Yan Jiedi explained, "We are about the same age and grew up together when we were little."

My third brother took me to collect recyclables and sell them to the recycling station to pay for our living expenses.

Also, before he went to the countryside, he told me to come and ask him for help if I encountered any difficulties.

"Brother Zhu, in our family, my third brother is the best to me."

He Yuzhu could see that.

Among the Yan family's children, Yan Jiecheng was the oldest and not very close to his younger siblings.

The three children have a relatively good relationship.

During the earthquake, the three of them even teamed up to dismantle the earthquake-resistant shelter in the courtyard. (End of Chapter)
