Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yan Jiecheng was filled with regret.

If he had thought of it sooner, this opportunity to make money would have been his.

His biggest worry now is that Yan Bugui has agreed to the two people's request.

"How much money did our dad give you?"

"We told him to think it over carefully and come back when he's ready."

Brother, it's almost noon. Let's grab something to eat at your place. We brothers can have a good chat.

Yan Jiecheng quickly refused: "My family is out of food today. You should go find our parents."

It's impossible to find Yan Bugui. It would be pointless.

Just now, inside the house, after drinking a glass of water, Yan Bugui was so eager to get them to pay for it.

It's simply impossible to let them eat at home.

The two came quietly once, and left quietly again.

Those who are slow to think wouldn't even know why the two came.

But this does not include Yi Zhonghai.

He was particularly curious whether the Yan brothers would move back.

Although he was certain that the Yan family's children would not be filial, he did not want them to come back to live with him.

The difference between having your child by your side and not having your child by your side is huge.

If Yan Bugui's son wasn't around, he could persuade Yan Bugui to join his group.

That way, he wouldn't have to fight alone.

"Old Yan, I saw that the two brothers, Jiefang and Jie Kuang, have returned."

Are they going to move back?

Yan Bugui was feeling depressed and desperately wanted to confide in someone.

In his view, Yi Zhonghai was a very good person to confide in.

Most importantly, Yi Zhonghai is a man who doesn't tolerate injustice.

He can't stand his children being unfilial.

If you encourage him a bit at this point, he might just step in and bring his two unfilial sons back.

"Old Yi, my life is so hard. How did I end up raising two such unfilial sons?"

I did this out of kindness, building houses for them so they would have a place to live.

Do you know what those two brats said?

When Yi Zhonghai saw Yan Bugui's expression, he was secretly overjoyed.

He didn't know what Da Yan and Jie Fang had done, but he wanted to give them a thumbs up for making Yan Bugui so angry.

"Old Yan, don't be angry, tell me slowly."

Yan Bugui sighed and slowly recounted the story.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai became even angrier. The Yan brothers' filial impiety was truly beyond his expectations.

He was afraid that if this got out, Bang Geng would learn it.

We'll do the same when we take care of him in his old age.

"This is outrageous. Old Yan, you should teach them a lesson."

Yan Bugui gave an awkward smile. With his small frame, who could he possibly teach a lesson to?

"Stop talking. What a misfortune for my family. Old Yi, you have to help me."

Yi Zhonghai immediately realized that this trouble was about to befall him.

"Don't look for me. I'm just an old man nobody cares about now. How can I help you?"

Yan Bugui understood that Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to help, but he did not want to give up.

If he gives up, who will compensate him for his losses?

"Don't say that. You're still a highly respected elder in our compound."

Even Yi Zhonghai himself could only manage a wry smile. Of those so-called "old men," only a handful of families acknowledged them.

The others didn't care. Currently, He Yuzhu holds the highest prestige in the courtyard.

This was all because He Yuzhu stole his opportunity during the earthquake.

"Stop flattering me. Look around, who in the courtyard respects us anymore?"

They all respect Sha Zhu. Even Xu Damao has more prestige than us.

You should really talk to your children about it.

Yan Bugui said angrily, "How can I discuss this with them?"

They're living in my house and demanding money from me. This is suicidal.

Yi Zhonghai ignored him and left, suppressing a laugh. The Yan brothers, Yan Jiefang and Yan Bugui, had actually come up with this scheme to make Yan Bugui pay up.

That's wonderful.

With this trick, he no longer needed to worry about them coming back to stay.

When Qin Huai saw Yi Zhonghai return, he followed him into the house.

"what happened?"

Yi Zhonghai looked angry: "Old Yan's kids are outrageous."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang wanted to stay in Lao Yan's house, and Lao Yan even wanted to pay for it.

Old Yan was furious.

Qin Huairu said, "Really? Did Old Yan give me the money?"

"How could he give that away? He couldn't sleep because he felt bad about letting Yan Jiefang stay there for free."

If Old Yan gave him money, he'd be half-dead.

Qin Huairu said, "Don't get angry about this. The Yan family's tradition is scheming."

Whoever schemes against whom, the one who suffers the loss will retaliate in kind.

Old Yan built two rooms, intending to use them to scheme against his two sons. The Yan brothers, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jie'er, weren't fooled. He'll definitely find a way to continue his scheme.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Yes. You really know how to raise children. In our compound, your three children are the most filial."

Qin Huai said, "What I did is nothing. The Yan family made a scene like this, but I'm afraid the Liu family will make an even bigger scene."

The Yan family are all scheming and good at talking.

The Liu family is different. They might even resort to violence.

Yi Zhonghai was taken aback and immediately stood up: "If that's what you're saying, I'll have to talk to Lao Liu about it beforehand."

Don't let him get angry later.

Qin Huairu couldn't stop him and could only watch Yi Zhonghai leave.

Yi Zhonghai entered the backyard and headed straight for Liu Haizhong's house.

"Old Liu, having a drink?"

When Liu Haizhong saw him coming, he greeted him, "Old Yi, what brings you here?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "I want you to try to persuade Old Yan."

"What's wrong with Lao Yan again?"

"It's all because of his two sons. You have no idea, his house is already built."

His two sons, somehow, heard the news and came over.

They not only wanted to take over the house, but also wanted to force Lao Yan to pay money.

They said the house was illegal, and that they were living there to take the blame for Lao Yan.

Liu Haizhong snorted: "His kids deserve a beating."

If it were me, I'd give them a good beating, and everything would be fine.

Yi Zhonghai was still figuring out how to steer the conversation towards Liu Haizhong. Unexpectedly, Liu Haizhong willingly jumped into the trap.

"Old Liu, don't say that. When your child was younger, you could hit him and that was fine.

Now they've grown up. We've grown old. We're no match for them.

If they want either of your two rooms, just let them have them.

How could Liu Haizhong be happy with him saying that? If he really followed Yi Zhonghai's advice, he would be a coward.

How will he ever be able to live in the courtyard house again?

"Old Yi, I'm not happy with what you're saying. My house was prepared for Guangqi."

Those two little brats don't deserve to live here.

Yi Zhonghai advised, "Don't do that. If you do it, even if they don't say it, they will hate you and Guangqi in their hearts."

They harbor resentment towards you. What will you do when they abandon you in your old age?

Liu Haizhong slammed his fist on the table angrily: "They dare! I'm not letting them stay here anymore. Let's see what they can do to me."

Yi Zhonghai feigned concern and advised, "Old Liu, don't be impulsive. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle."

The more he said that, the angrier Liu Haizhong became. At home, Liu Haizhong shouted angrily, and everyone in the yard could hear his rage.

Yi Zhonghai tried to persuade him for a while, which only fueled Liu Haizhong's anger, before he prepared to leave.

"Look at you, your temper is still so fiery. I asked you to go and persuade Old Yan, and you got angry yourself."

How can you persuade Old Yan in this state?

"Never mind, I'll go alone."

He said these words as he opened the door, in order to distance himself from him. (End of Chapter)
