Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

In the simple bangs, one couldn't detect the scheming between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

But he wasn't generous either.

To him, Bang Geng was just an ordinary neighbor who didn't respect him.

He had absolutely no reason to help the stick-shaped dwarf.

He said, "These days, it's not that easy to find a job."

This time, Yi Zhonghai wasn't counting on Liu Haizhong either. His real target was Yan Bugui.

These days, only leaders can get TV tickets. Ordinary workers are lucky to get one, let alone give it away as a gift.

Yan Bugui's TV ticket must have been a gift from some leader.

As for why we don't suspect that Yan Bugui bought it from the black market.

That would be too simple.

Given Yan Bugui's personality, there's no way he would go to the black market.

"Old Yan, you know a lot of people, can you help me think of a solution?"

Yan Bugui was suddenly a little confused. Usually, in these kinds of situations, it's the bangs that stick out.

He even planned to help Yi Zhonghai deceive Liu Haizhong, making Yi Zhonghai owe him a favor.

Who would have thought that Yi Zhonghai would turn his attention to him?

He knew he wouldn't help, so he quickly declined, saying, "Old Yi, you're joking. I'm just an ordinary teacher, where would I find a way?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "Old Yan, at this point, you shouldn't be hiding anything."

If we don't take action now, there will truly be no hope of turning things around.

Are you really going to wait for Sha Zhu and Xu Damao to shit on our heads?

Seeing how certain Yi Zhonghai was, Liu Haizhong assumed that Yan Bugui really had a solution.

He said, "Old Yan, if you have a solution, tell me quickly."

What's the point of you always hiding things?

Qin Huairu didn't sit still; she pleaded pitifully, "Old Yan, I beg you, please help me."

Don't worry, I'll definitely make sure Banggeng takes good care of you in the future.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Old Yan, listen to this. I won't even mention how many children you have."

From now on, we'll all be relying on this guy for our retirement.

The more successful Bang Geng becomes, the better our future will be.

The three older women standing nearby were displeased: "That's not right of you. We have sons and daughters. Why should we rely on rice to support us in our old age?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "Don't mention your children. Are any of them filial?"
Yan Jiecheng lives in the same courtyard as you. He bought a chicken yesterday. Did he let you have a sip of soup?

There's also Jie Di, who lives right next to the scrap yard. The day before yesterday, I went for a walk and saw her buy a pig's head to give to Old Man Qin as a snack with his drinks.

Do you really think your children will be filial to you?

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong added, "Your child is really outrageous."

The three women said disapprovingly, "You should take care of your own children first."

Liu Haizhong said angrily, "When my Guangqi comes back, he will definitely be filial to me. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Yi Zhonghai almost burst out laughing.

As long as Yan Bugui has money, the Yan family's children will still obey him.

As for Liu Haizhong, he definitely didn't have a good time.

Today's target is Yan Bugui, and Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to mention him. Anyway, Liu Haizhong is particularly easy to fool, so there's no rush.

Qin Huairu quickly stepped forward: "Everyone, please stop arguing. Our current goal is to find Banggeng a good job."

There's no need to argue back and forth.

Before we knew it, the conversation had veered off course and turned into finding jobs for the punts.

Yan Bugui had no idea what it was about him that Yi Zhonghai had taken a liking to him. He really wanted to ask Yi Zhonghai what he saw in him so he could change his ways immediately.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai staring at him, Yan Bugui felt bitter inside.

"Don't look at me, I really can't do anything. Among the three of us old men, you and Lao Liu are the most capable. If you two can't do anything, where am I supposed to find a solution?"

Qin Huairu said, "Old Yan, you managed to get TV tickets. I may not be very knowledgeable, but I know that TV tickets are not something that just anyone can get."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong suddenly realized, "You old Yan, when did you start hiding such a powerful connection?" Only then did Yan Bugui understand why he had been targeted by Yi Zhonghai.

He quickly explained, "This really isn't my fault. I traded it with someone using the flowers I've been growing for over ten years."

Yi Zhonghai and his two companions clearly didn't believe it. In their view, flowers and plants were worthless and couldn't possibly be exchanged for a TV set or plane tickets.

To gain their trust, Yan Bugui pointed outside and said, "Do you remember the flowers in my white porcelain basin?"

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the pot where your grandson tore off a leaf last year, and you paid Yan Jiecheng a dollar in compensation?"

"Yes, that's the one."

Liu Haizhong went out curiously, took a look, and sure enough, he didn't find Yan Bugui's potted flower.

"Can that potted plant really be exchanged for a TV ticket?"

Yan Bugui nodded: "In the eyes of those who don't understand, my money is worthless."

But to those in the know, my flowers are priceless.

"If it weren't for wanting to outdo Xu Damao, I wouldn't have been willing to give that potted plant away at all."

This explanation failed to convince the three people.

After all, everyone sees Yan Bugui's potted flower every day, and they really don't see anything special about it.

Qin Huai said, "Old Yan, no matter what, you know that leader."

Can you say something for Bang Geng?

He can name any conditions he wants. We'll definitely agree.

Yi Zhonghai then said, "Old Yan, why don't you ask him for me?"

These days, among the families in the courtyard, only the four of us are close.

If we don't unite, the people in the compound will definitely bully us.

Old Liu, don't you think so?

Liu Haizhong felt that there was nothing wrong with Yan Bugui asking, so he went along with Yi Zhonghai's words and said something.

Yan Bugui also knew that the other people in the courtyard ignored them.

If he offends Yi Zhonghai, he is likely to be isolated.

"I can only say I'll ask around for you, but I can't guarantee it will work out."

Qin Huairu quickly said gratefully, "Old Yan, thank you so much for reading this."

"Once Banggeng gets paid, I'll definitely make him treat you to drinks."

Yan Bugui opened his mouth, but ultimately chose not to explain.

After the group left, the third aunt said, "Are you confused? What kind of person is Qin Huairu? He's the type who only takes and never gives."

He asked Banggeng to buy you drinks, that's just a casual remark.

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Of course I know. But in that situation, if I didn't agree, do you think Lao Yi would let me go?"

Thinking of Yi Zhonghai's temperament, the three women became somewhat angry: "If I had known, I shouldn't have bought this TV."

I spent so much money and got nothing in return.

He was even forced to help Bang Geng find a job.

"Will your friend really agree?"

Yan Bugui said, "Do you think I have that much influence?"
If I had that ability, I could have helped a few people find jobs back then, and things wouldn't have been so difficult.

In our compound, only Sha Zhu has that skill.

"Then why did you agree to Qin Huairu's request? What if she keeps pestering our family for jobs?"

Yan Bugui suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, I have a way to solve this."

"What's your idea?" the third aunt asked curiously.

The Third Aunt knew very well what Yan Bugui's abilities were. Finding someone a job was something Yan Bugui was absolutely incapable of.

Yan Bugui said mysteriously, "I have a brilliant plan. I guarantee they'll have no way to express their suffering."

As for the specifics of how to proceed...

Yan Bugui never said anything; he wanted to maintain a sense of mystery.

This greatly worried the third aunt, who was terrified that Jia Zhangshi would block her door and hurl insults at her. (End of Chapter)
