Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He Yuzhu carried his things and arrived at the compound of the Ministry of Metallurgy.

The high-ranking leader's residence has been prepared; it's the same old place.

"Zhu Zi, you've come."

He Yuzhu put down what he was holding and said with a smile, "Big Boss, I brought you something."

The high-ranking leader smiled and said, "I certainly won't accept gifts from others. But what you gave me is different."

By the way, how's Xiao Yang doing?

He Yuzhu then recounted Yang Peishan's situation.

After listening, the senior leader remained silent for a while: "Old Zhuang's son-in-law is indeed quite shrewd. In terms of vision and decisiveness, he is much better than Xiao Yang."

He Yuzhu thought to himself, Li Huaide has many advantages. He won't let those who follow him suffer losses, which is better than Yang Peishan.

The high-ranking leader smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've had your cooking. You'd better show me your skills today."

After finishing his meal, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard house with a lot of things.

These are all things that the top leader brought from the south.

Upon entering the courtyard, I saw four people at the chessboard. Besides Yi Zhonghai, there was another guy, Bang Geng.

After repeatedly hitting a wall and failing to find a job for Banggeng, Qin Huai finally turned his attention to Yi Zhonghai.

She knew very well that Yi Zhonghai liked obedient and filial children.

In order to get Banggeng to agree, the two widows forced him to curry favor with Yi Zhonghai.

Just as Jia Dongxu did back then, he demands that Bang Geng do the same.

Banggeng is a quick-witted guy.

Sha Zhu found him a job as a driver for a ministry, and Sha Zhu became Sha Ba (a nickname implying a foolish father).

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with Bang Geng's sensible nature and began to modify it.

Bang Geng's current behavior is similar to Jia Dongxu's.

However, a fake is a fake, and it will always be exposed eventually.

Yi Zhonghai could easily spot his problem and had never let him pass.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu carrying so many things, Yan Bugui couldn't help but come closer.

"Zhu Zi, did you buy all of these?"

He reached out to open the packaging.

He Yuzhu slapped his hand away: "These are all from the South. You can't buy them in the North."

"Then where did you come from?"

"A gift from a friend."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Since it's free, let's have everyone try it."

He Yuzhu spat and said, "Dream on."

Seeing He Yuzhu push the cart away, Yan Bugui's face showed regret.

Yi Zhonghai's face also looked very unpleasant.

He Yuzhu's unfilial behavior was simply unacceptable to him.

Compared to He Yuzhu, Bang Geng's problems are nothing.

Liu Haizhong said disdainfully, "Old Yan, can't you be a little more shrewish? All these years, Sha Zhu hasn't even given you a single vegetable leaf."

Why do you stop him every day?

Yan Bugui was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot.

He was already sitting at the door, so stopping people wouldn't have been difficult for him.

It's certainly hateful not to get something, but once you get it, you've hit the jackpot.

He always believed that once there was a first time, there would be a second, and even countless times.

What he needs to do is find a breakthrough.

Such a profound theory is impossible to explain to Liu Haizhong.

Yan Bugui glanced at Yi Zhonghai and saw the same thought in his eyes.

Yi Zhonghai quickly put away the idea and instead showed a disdainful look.

Banggeng then seized the opportunity to say, "Dad Yi, I'll buy it for you when I start working and get paid."

Yi Zhonghai chuckled and replied, "Great idea, it's good that you have the intention."

One should not be too selfish.

To live a good life, we must help each other. If you help me, and I help you, we can make a good living.

Yan Bugui, a shrewd man, could tell at a glance that Yi Zhonghai was deceiving Bang Geng.

This is very advantageous to him.

He didn't mind helping Yi Zhonghai: "Bang Geng, you can't go wrong listening to Lao Yi. A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative."

Without our help, your mother wouldn't have been able to raise you, would she?

Banggeng felt extremely disdainful.

Yi Zhonghai helped their family because he wanted to bully his mother.

Yan Bugui never helped their family.

As for Liu Haizhong, let's not even talk about him. He's just doing this out of spite towards Yi Zhonghai.

To prevent Banggeng from being fooled, the two widows would tell him these stories every night.

"Dad Yi, Uncle Yan, you're right, I've got it all figured out."

Yan Bugui was somewhat dissatisfied. What's the use of just remembering? He needed to show it with concrete actions.

However, after glancing at Yi Zhonghai, he still didn't dare to voice his thoughts.

Xu Damao pushed his bike at the door: "Zhenjiang, come over here quickly and help me push my bicycle."

When Yan Bugui heard that he had to do some work, he pretended not to hear and kept his eyes on the chessboard.

Li Zhenjiang came out of the house and asked, "Can't you push it yourself?"

Xu Damao said with a smile, "I have some things with me. Please help me quickly."

Li Zhenjiang had no choice but to go and help him. Seeing the various things tied to the back of the proud bicycle, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

What's in your suitcase?

Xu Damao pushed the bicycle in, reached out to pat the box, and suddenly stopped in mid-air.

The box contains valuable items; he would be heartbroken if it were damaged.

"I didn't see the words written here."

Li Zhenjiang said, "Nonsense. Of course I know this character. I'm asking you, what's in here?"

Xu Damao said proudly, "Director Li saw how hard I work and rewarded me with a ticket for a television set."

Li Zhenjiang said in surprise, "You bought a TV."

Yan Bugui, who had been pretending not to see, immediately jumped out.

"Xu Damao, is this really a television set?"

Yan Bugui reached out and touched the box containing the television.

Xu Damao said with concern, "Don't touch it carelessly. Can you afford to pay for it if you break it?"

Yan Bugui ignored Xu Damao's advice and instead carefully examined the television set.

"A 12-inch TV costs 2 yuan at Beijing Department Store."

Liu Haizhong also put down his chess pieces and walked over: "Old Yan, how did you know?"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "I saw it when I went shopping at the department store."

"Da Mao, quick, open it up and let everyone see."

Xu Damao said, "I'll open it when I get home. Move aside, don't block my way."

When the others heard this, they all wanted to watch TV, so they made way for them.

Yan Bugui did not step aside; he did not want to give up so quickly.

"No, open it here and let everyone see."

Xu Damao's face immediately turned cold: "What are you looking at? If you break this here, you'll be responsible for the compensation."

This is naturally impossible.

Yan Bugui said indignantly, "Why should I pay compensation? You bought the goods, so what if everyone sees them? Old Yi, don't you agree?"

He didn't dare to go against Xu Damao on his own, so he wanted to drag Yi Zhonghai into it.

Yi Zhonghai, however, refused to pay any attention.

Xu Damao is the kind of person who would never accept his moral blackmail.

He won't gain anything by stepping forward; he'll only lose face.

Xu Damao snorted: "Get out of the way."

Seeing that no one was standing up for him, Yan Bugui had no choice but to reluctantly step aside.

The others followed Xu Damao to the backyard to watch the excitement.

"Old Yi, why didn't you say anything just now?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "What do you want me to say? What's there to talk about with that bastard Xu Damao?"

"It's just a TV, isn't it? It can't replace food or drink. Old Yan, come on, let's continue playing chess."

Yan Bugui snorted and said, "I'm not playing anymore, you can play by yourself."

He was quite angry that Yi Zhonghai wouldn't help him after he had lost so much face. (End of Chapter)
