Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Qin Huairu didn't believe Yi Zhonghai's guarantee, but she agreed because she thought that the money would come from Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was quite satisfied to see that Qin Huairu was still so obedient.

In his view, there was nothing wrong with giving money to Yan Bugui.

The actions of Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi just now have fully demonstrated that the Yan family's children will not support Yan Bugui in his old age.

If Yan Bugui can't find anyone to support him in his old age, he'll definitely have to give back all that money.

He didn't expect that Qin Huairu had no intention of paying anything and was prepared to make him the sucker.

“Zhonghai, when Banggeng comes back, I will definitely make him take good care of you.”

Yi Zhonghai didn't take Qin Huairu's words to heart. He was a very controlling person.

Sha Zhu was under his nose every day, and he believed his lies.

Because of his bad temper and foul mouth, he was unwilling to choose Sha Zhu as his caregiver.

Banggeng has been away from home for so many years and has not received his education, so how could he possibly believe that Banggeng would take care of him in his old age?

His trust was given to Qin Huairu, not Bang Geng.

“Huai Ru, when Bang Geng comes back, you must give him a good talking-to. Bang Geng has suffered a lot these years.”

Qin Huai gave a perfunctory reply, but in reality, he didn't take Yi Zhonghai's words seriously.

She was tricked by Yi Zhonghai into marrying Jia Dongxu. She would never let her son become like Jia Dongxu.

If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai's savings and house, she wouldn't bother with Bang Geng.

The two chatted for a few minutes, each with their own ulterior motives, before parting ways.

Yan Jiedi is much more sensible than before, and her personality has also changed.

She went out specifically to buy some meat and wine. Firstly, to welcome Yan Jiekuang back, and secondly, to thank He Yuzhu.

As a member of the Yan family, she knew their personalities well. She was afraid that Yan Jiekuang's stingy nature would offend He Yuzhu.

Qin Huairu squatted by the pool, fiddling with Yi Zhonghai's clothes in her hands.

After Xiao Dang grew up, the housework was handed over to her, and she rarely showed off her laundry skills by the sink anymore.

Every time they go out, there must be a significant purpose.

Our purpose today is to find out about Yan Jiekuang's situation.

Despite his stinginess, Yan Jiekuang didn't dare reveal his true nature on the first day at He Yuzhu's house.

He actively helped with the work, carrying buckets of water to the edge of the pool.

Qin Huairu saw this was just right and asked with a smile, "Jie Kuang, shouldn't you be staying at your own home now that you're back? Why are you staying at Sha Zhu's house?"

Yan Jiekuang said with dissatisfaction, "I would like to live in my own home, but I need to have money."

Qin Huairu was even more delighted upon hearing this. The less money Yan Jiekuang had, the more likely he was to agree to her conditions.

Once he has a job, Bang Geng will be back soon.

"If you don't have money, you can borrow from Jie Di. You don't know, Jie Di is living a very good life now."

She recognized Grandpa Qin, who used to work at the scrap yard, as her godfather. She gave her Grandpa Qin's salary and house, and even let him work at the scrap yard.

I heard that she became a group leader because of her good performance.

Yan Jiekuang naturally knew all this, and casually said, "Her money is her money. It has nothing to do with me."

Once the bucket was full, Yan Jiekuang carried it back to the He family's house.

At the front gate, Yan Bugui stopped Yan Jiedi.

“You’re back from selling things. Perfect timing. Give these to your mom, have her prepare a welcome dinner for Jie Kuang.”

Yan Jiedi switched the item to another hand, avoiding Yan Bugui.

"This was bought by Brother Zhu. It's not mine."

Yan Bugui's eyes were full of disdain: "Nonsense."

I've been guarding the door for so many years, and Sha Zhu has always gone out to buy things by himself.

Does he need you to run errands?
Look at the things you bought, so stingy, that's not like Sha Zhu's personality.

Every time he buys meat, he has to buy at least two pounds.

"How much did you buy? Is it even a pound?"

Yan Jiedi looked helpless. She finally understood why He Yuzhu disliked Yan Bugui so much.

Anyone who comes home every day and encounters someone like that wouldn't have a good impression of them.

She only said that to save face for Yan Bugui. Since Yan Bugui doesn't care about saving face, then she won't hold back and will speak the truth. In any case, she's not going to give these things to Yan Bugui.

"This is for my brother to welcome him back."

Yan Bugui had an "I knew it" look on his face: "Since it's for welcoming Jie Kuang, then give it to me."

I've asked your mom to cook, so we can all have a meal together as a family.

Yan Jiedi said, "No need. My brother and I will just eat at Brother Zhu's house."

If you want to treat my brother to a welcome-back dinner, go buy the groceries yourself.

Yan Bugui said angrily, "Yan Jiedi, do you even know your own surname?"

Yan Jiedi said, "Of course I know. My surname is Qin now."

Dad, don't think I don't know what you're up to. If these things end up in your hands, will we even be able to eat them?
"Today is my brother's first day back, can you please stop causing trouble?"

Yan Bugui's face darkened with anger. None of his children would even look at him directly.

Yan Jiecheng lived in the same courtyard as him, but they never spoke to each other even though they saw each other every day.

After Yan Jiefang got married, he rarely came back, and each time he returned empty-handed.

Yan Jiekuang was sent to work in the countryside. On his first day back, he turned against him.

What's even more outrageous is that this little girl's surname was changed.

During holidays and festivals, people know to look to He Yuzhu when buying things, but they don't know to look to him as their father.

"Fine, you've grown up and don't need me as your father anymore. Don't come begging to me again."

These words posed no threat to Yan Jiedi whatsoever.

Yan Jiedi didn't believe that Yan Bugui would help her if she came to him for help.

I'm afraid the first person to kick someone when they're down will be Yan Bugui.

Yan Jiedi bypassed Yan Bugui and went straight to the Intermediate Court.

Yan Bugui watched her retreating figure and shouted angrily, "You unfilial son!"

Unfortunately, no one empathized with him. On the contrary, many people said behind his back that he deserved it.

The older woman looked at Yan Bugui with some worry. The Yan family's children are all like this, even though they're their own.

What about her?

However, a small hand appeared beside her, dispelling her worries.

She has her nephew Miao Jianye, and this little person in front of her, what more could she ask for?

The older woman decided to learn from Yan Bugui's mistake and not be so stingy with her child.

"Jianye, take this money and buy some meat for the Red Army."

Miao Hongjun is the son of Miao Jianye and Bi Xiufeng.

Miao Jianye said with a smile, "Auntie, don't spoil him too much. Look how chubby this boy is."

The older woman wouldn't listen to him and insisted that he take the money to buy meat.

Helpless, Miao Jianye got up and went to buy half a pound of meat.

Yan Jiecheng sat at home, occasionally sticking his head out.

Seeing this, Hao Min asked, "What are you looking at?"

Yan Jiecheng turned his head and said, "Just now, Jie Di bought a pound of meat and a chicken to welcome Jie Kuang back."

Do you think she might come and ask me, her older brother, for a date?

Hao Min replied without hesitation, "No."

Yan Jiecheng got anxious: "Why? I'm their eldest brother, why aren't I invited to their welcome dinner?"

Hao Min said calmly, "She wouldn't even invite your father, so how could she invite you?"
How dare you call yourself the older brother?

Why didn't you intervene when Jie Di wanted to go to the countryside?

And Jie Kuang spent several years in the countryside. As his older brother, did you visit him?
What help did you give him?

They'd never even remember you.

Yan Jiecheng said matter-of-factly, "My parents are still alive, and it is their responsibility to take care of them."

"If they don't care, why should I?"

Hao Min chuckled but said nothing. (End of Chapter)
