Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Meanwhile, a quarrel was also taking place in the Jia family.

When Jia Zhangshi heard that Yi Zhonghai had asked her to borrow money, she was very unhappy.

There are two reasons for her dissatisfaction. One is the issue of borrowing money. It has always been the people in the compound who donate money to her family; when did it become borrowing money?

Donations don't need to be repaid, but loans do.

what is this.

Should we leave the money with her and let her keep it?
Another point is that she was the one who borrowed the money. Even if she were stupid, she would know that borrowed money needs to be repaid, let alone that she is not stupid.

What will she do if the people in the hospital ask her to repay the money? She can't possibly use her pension to pay off the debt.

That is impossible.

Throughout history, when the Jia family borrowed things from others, it was always Qin Huairu who handled it. When others wanted to collect debts, they went to Qin Huairu; it had nothing to do with her.

"Why should I be the one to lend it? Bang Geng is Qin Huairu's son, let her handle it."

Yi Zhonghai knew, of course, that Qin Huairu was the best option. Qin Huairu was usually a decent person and knew how to feign helplessness.

If Qin Huai had acted more aggrieved, the people in the courtyard would definitely have been more generous.

The problem is that Qin Huairu is his wife.

If Qin Huai were to lend money, wouldn't that imply that he, as a husband, is useless?

Moreover, if Qin Huairu lends the money, can he stand idly by when people in the courtyard ask him for money back?
If he's ultimately asked to repay the money, then why bother with all this?

"Mom, as everyone knows, Huairu is my wife."

If she were to lend me money, how could I stand up for Huairu and get someone else to pay for it?

Jia Zhangshi said, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."

"What if someone asks me for money again and you deny it? What am I supposed to do then?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "With me here, what are you afraid of? Do you think I'd let someone force you to repay the money?"

Jia Zhangshi pointed at Qin Huairu: "Then let Qin Huairu go and borrow it."

Yi Zhonghai was both amused and exasperated: "Didn't I already say? Huai Ru is my wife. If she steps in to borrow money, how can I stand up for justice?"

do not worry.

This time, they'll say they're borrowing money, but they won't actually make you write an IOU.

Over time, borrowing money becomes like donating.

Madam Jia said with dissatisfaction, "Then why don't we just have them donate money?"

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly, "Donations have to go through the street office."

Do you think the neighborhood committee will agree?

Even if the neighborhood committee agrees, they will still send someone over.

With people from the neighborhood committee around, how many people in the compound do you think will actually donate?

Yi Zhonghai kept giving Qin Huairu meaningful glances, hoping she would step forward.

Qin Huairu, however, was reluctant and pretended not to see it.

Yi Zhonghai got a little angry and said, "If you don't want to, then forget it."

Either you pay, or let the Bangkao stay in the Northwest.

It's up to you to choose.

Upon hearing that Banggeng was to remain in the Northwest, both Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu became anxious.

They now hope that Bang Geng will come back so he can help the family.

Jia Zhangshi was extremely hesitant and unwilling to agree. If she agreed, she would be burdened with debt.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly said, "Mom, please agree for the sake of Bang Geng."

China Overseas has already guaranteed that they will not make our family pay back the money.

Banggeng really can't continue to suffer in the Northwest.

He's such an innocent kid; if he gets tricked and marries a local woman, that would be a real problem.

Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to agree in order to protect the stick.

Although Jia Zhangshi agreed, Yi Zhonghai was not entirely happy. In particular, Qin Huairu's words, "our family," deeply stung his heart.

Qin Huairu has been married to him for several years, yet she still treats the Jia family as her own.

The Yi family is clearly Qin Huairu's true home; the Jia family is a thing of the past.

However, considering that he had no children and would have to rely on the Jia family for his old age, he could only swallow his anger.

After they had settled things, he went to find Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, only to find that the two were arguing again, which gave him a real headache.

When Yi Zhonghai learned the reason for the argument, he was furious. The problem lay with Liu Haizhong, so he had no choice but to confront Liu Haizhong.

"Old Liu, we're both getting on in years, how can we still be jealous of each other?"

Our goal should be to restore the position of the person in charge.

So, you want to be the boss?
I promise you here and now, I'll listen to you from now on, is that alright?

With Liu Haizhong's brain and the things he did during the movement, he definitely won't be able to hold onto his position as the boss.

At that time, he will be able to easily seize control of the narrative.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had backed down, Liu Haizhong stopped worrying about it.

Even if he were stupid, he would know that he could only gain the upper hand over Yi Zhonghai by restoring his status as the steward.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that Liu Haizhong agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief and then took Liu Haizhong to find Yan Bugui to mediate between the two.

Because of their status as the steward, the two had no choice but to put aside their past grievances.

"Old Liu, Old Yan, it's settled then. Let's not fight amongst ourselves anymore."

"If the three of us continue fighting, it will only hurt our loved ones and please our enemies."

Liu Haizhong said, "Alright. We understand. Can we open an account now?"

Yan Bugui echoed, "Old Yi, don't worry!"

Yi Zhonghai, feeling somewhat weary, said, "I think it's about time; most of the people in the compound have returned."

Send your children to inform everyone about the meeting.

Liu Haizhong said, "I'll have it done right away..."

Only then did he realize that his son had moved out after getting married, and he couldn't even find someone to run errands for him.

Yan Bugui does have a son, but he doesn't want to go to Yan Jiecheng.

According to the Yan family's rules, there must be a labor fee for doing work.

He dared to send Yan Jiecheng to inform each household, and Yan Jiecheng dared to ask him for money.

Yi Zhonghai also remembered, turned his head to look at Yan Bugui, and then gave up.

He knew the Yan family's rules very well.

"Alright, I'll have Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua inform everyone right away."

Yi Zhonghai ran back to the Jia family and sent Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua to inform them.

Don't underestimate Little Locust Flower just because she's young; Milk Bag Melon Seed is much smarter than Little Dang.

Knowing that He Yuzhu disliked them, she gave the task of informing He Yuzhu to her.

Little Locust Flower ran to the backyard first to inform the people there.

Xiao Dang belatedly realized what was happening and had no choice but to accept the task.

She cautiously knocked on the He family's door: "Uncle He."

He Yuzhu asked calmly, "What is it?"

Xiao Dang said, "Yi's father, second uncle, and third uncle are going to hold a general meeting of the entire hospital."

He Yuzhu said "I understand," and Xiao Dang carefully closed the door and quickly left.

Lin Jinghan looked up and asked, "What happened? Why is there a college-wide meeting?"

He Yuzhu didn't know what had happened either. But one thing was certain: Yi Zhonghai and his two companions definitely had ill intentions.

The purpose of this meeting is most likely related to the Jia family.

Whether the courtyard is in chaos or not, it's up to the Jia family to decide.

Thinking of Bang Geng's letter, He Yuzhu felt that this time it must be Bang Geng's matter.

That brat Banggeng has been spoiled rotten by Jia Zhangshi since he was a child. He's been away for several years now; he should have caused trouble long ago.

This time, for some unknown reason, Yi Zhonghai was forced to seek help from the entire hospital.

Unfortunately, there's no Sha Zhu.

If he had Shazhu, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble; he could just have Shazhu do it.

If things aren't done well, it's because Sha Zhu didn't do his best.

If things were done well, it was because of his wise leadership that Sha Zhu was able to accomplish them.

In short, it's only right that Sha Zhu does the work, but he shouldn't try to claim credit.

"It's probably for the sake of the Korean joke."

Lin Jinghan said, "So, Banggeng got into trouble outside? Are you going to attend the college-wide meeting?" (End of Chapter)
