Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai have a deep connection.

The two men were imprisoned at the same time, but received different sentences, yet they were released at the same time.

Xu Damao's sentence was reduced by three months for good behavior, while Yi Zhonghai's sentence was increased by three months for causing trouble inside.

As for why it was added, no one else knows.

After he came out, others realized the time was wrong.

Yi Zhonghai, who emerged from inside, exuded a fierce aura, and no one dared to question him.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's fierce aura, Qin Huairu had no choice but to obediently give up the house.

"Zhonghai, it's good that you're out. Banggeng will take good care of you from now on."

Having someone to be filial to him in this life was Yi Zhonghai's obsession. After hearing Qin Huairu's words, his gaze finally softened a bit.

"Huai Ru, I'm fine. Why don't I see anyone from Sha Zhu's family?"

Qin Huai sighed: "Sha Zhu is now the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. The factory allocated him an apartment in the building, and his whole family lives there."

Yi Zhonghai slammed his fist on the table in anger: "What right does he have?"

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, "Alright. It's actually better that he moved away. Staying in the courtyard, he couldn't do anything except make you angry."

Besides, he's now the deputy factory director, and he's much younger than Director Yang.

In the factory, his words carry more weight than those of Director Yang. We ordinary folks can't afford to offend him.

Yi Zhonghai snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction. He also knew that he couldn't afford to offend He Yuzhu at all.

"Tell me about what has happened in the last two years."

Since Qin Huai knew Yi Zhonghai well, she chose to tell him what he wanted to know.

Upon hearing that the elderly woman had passed away, Yi Zhonghai's face showed surprise: "Are you sure she died of natural causes? Or that Miao Jianye deliberately tortured her?"

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's longing eyes, Qin Huairu couldn't give him the answer he wanted.

Everyone in the courtyard could see how Miao Jianye treated the old lady.

If you want to find fault with it, you can certainly point out a whole host of problems. But those same problems exist in other stores as well.

Based on these points, it would be a stretch to say that Miao Jianye was unfilial.

"She did indeed die of natural causes. After she passed away, everyone in the community went to see her. She died with a smile on her face."

A surge of jealousy welled up in Yi Zhonghai's heart. For so many years, he had firmly believed that he was not wrong, and that Miao Jianye would not be filial.

Now, if we tell him that Miao Jianye is very filial, how can he accept that?

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and asked about other details.

"Does Bang Geng have a job yet?"

Qin Huairu said, "I've got it. I'll be working in a small factory run by the neighborhood committee."

Yi Zhonghai always thought that without him, Bang Geng would not be able to find a job.

"Who found the 'stick' (a nickname for a character)?"

Qin Huairu said, "I went to the neighborhood committee to ask for help. The neighborhood committee wanted to resettle the educated youth who had returned to the city, so they set up a lot of small factories."

Banggeng and Xiaodang both went in around that time.

Yi Zhonghai hummed in agreement: "Besides these, is there anything else? Li Jian and Wu Jianguo's jobs were found with the help of Sha Zhu, right?"

Qin Huairu's eyes were filled with envy: "They got into university."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned ashen.

The elderly people he chose to care for were living worse lives than others. The elderly people he looked down on were living better and better lives than the rest.

What is this going to do.

Seeing his expression, Qin Huairu didn't dare to say anything more.

"You just got back, so let's not talk about these unpleasant things. I'll take you to ask about your pension tomorrow."

You must remember, if you run into Sha Zhu, don't get angry, and don't provoke him.

It wouldn't be good if he sabotaged your retirement and blocked your pension.

Yi Zhonghai went to jail, but he didn't tell Qin Huairu about his family's assets.

Qin Huai searched Yi Zhonghai's house three times, but still couldn't find where Yi Zhonghai's property was hidden.

Later, she thought about Yi Zhonghai's pension and went to the factory several times before she finally understood the pension policy. Yi Zhonghai's pension was suspended while he was in prison; it would only resume after his release.

As the two were chatting, Auntie Er came over from the backyard.

The second aunt had aged considerably by this time. After Liu Haizhong went to jail, she could only live at the mercy of her two sons.

"Old Yi, when will my husband Lao Liu be able to come out?"

Yi Zhonghai turned to look at his second aunt and said calmly, "He still needs three more months."

You've aged so much!

The second aunt couldn't hold back her tears and started crying: "Old Liu isn't home, and those two little rascals, Guangtian and Guangfu, want to take away my and Old Liu's savings."

Yi Zhonghai asked anxiously, "You didn't give them to them, did you? You can't give them those savings. They're your guarantee for your retirement."

It's no wonder Yi Zhonghai was anxious.

Qin Huairu's life was already difficult, and if she were to take care of the elderly in the nursing home, she would have to rely on the elderly's pensions.

Without a pension, he wouldn't dare bring Liu Haizhong into the group.

The second aunt was unaware of Yi Zhonghai's ulterior motives. She firmly said, "Don't worry, I didn't give them any."

That money was what Lao Liu and I were saving for Guangqi. We absolutely won't give it to them.

Yi Zhonghai's lips twitched. Even at this point, his second aunt was still so biased.

However, since this was in his favor, he did not try to persuade his second aunt.

The second aunt was a sensible person; upon receiving the news, she left.

Yan Bugui is guarding outside.

Upon seeing the second aunt come out, she asked, "Sister-in-law, how is Lao Yi?"

Auntie looked at him strangely: "Why don't you go and ask him yourself?"

Yan Bugui was somewhat embarrassed: "It wasn't like a couple of years ago when I didn't have a good relationship with the Jia family. I was too embarrassed to go over."

The second aunt was too lazy to play mind games with him and simply said, "Old Yi is much better. If you want to know something, just go and find out for yourself."

Yan Bugui stood outside, hesitating for a while, before finally deciding to go over.

As soon as he entered the room, Qin Huairu's face turned cold.

Yi Zhonghai realized something was wrong; what had happened between these two?

This is not what he wanted to see.

"Old Yan, you're here. Come and sit down."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "I've come to see you."

Qin Huairu, however, showed no respect to Yan Bugui, not even offering him a sip of water.

Yi Zhonghai asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Huairu was initially reluctant to bring it up, but fearing that Yan Bugui would make things up, she recounted the feud between the two families.

She was naturally speaking from the perspective of the Jia family.

Yan Bugui, however, refuted him from his own perspective.

"Old Yi, I really tried my best. Bang Geng's basic skills are not good, so I can only start teaching him from the basics."

"Give me a year, and I guarantee Bang Geng will get into university."

Yan Bugui himself didn't believe what he said, so he spoke very softly.

Yi Zhonghai didn't believe it either. He knew Bang Geng very well. Besides being filial, he had no other redeeming qualities.

His filial piety also stemmed from Qin Huairu's teachings and example.

He didn't want Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu to continue their feud, as that would only cause pain to their loved ones and joy to their enemies.

"Alright, stop arguing. We're one of the few families in the neighborhood who get along well. If we keep fighting amongst ourselves, we're just giving others a chance to bully us."

I'll act as a peacemaker today. Let's all take a step back and not hold grudges.

Yan Bugui was the first to agree. Ever since the two families fell out, Jia Zhangshi would often scold him.

But Jia Zhangshi only cursed herself, not Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiecheng had never stood up for him.

Qin Huai thought for a moment and then agreed. Even after falling out with Yan Bugui, the Jia family hadn't gained any advantage in the courtyard. (End of Chapter)
