Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

When Xu Damao returned from showing a movie, Xu Zhenbao started clamoring to see her father.

Zhang Yan then took her to the courtyard house.

Xu Zhenbao held a toy in her hand and shouted at Xu Damao, "Dad!"

Xu Damao saw her, smiled and went up to her, taking her little hand and asking her questions.

"Why are you here? Dad wanted to come see you later."

Xu Zhenbao smiled and said, "I miss my dad. Dad, look, aren't my toys nice?"

Xu Damao looked down and was immediately surprised. He had seen the toy in Xu Zhenbao's hand once before, on television.

"Isn't this something you only see in TV dramas? Where did you get it?"

Xu Zhenbao explained, "A few days ago, we went to a restaurant for dinner, and a pretty auntie gave it to me."

Xu Damao couldn't think of anyone who could give her something so expensive, so he looked at Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan explained, "Lou Xiao'e is back. This is something she gave to Zhenbao."

Xu Damao looked down at his daughter's love for the toys and vowed to himself that he would get her even better ones in the future.

At that moment, the concept of getting rich took root in his heart.

Before we knew it, it was 1984.

After several years of operation, the steel rolling mill has upgraded most of its equipment, although most of it is domestically produced, which is still quite good.

Lou Xiao'e helped purchase a lot of equipment and also built a factory in Shenzhen.

Because I focused my energy on Shenzhen, I didn't start a business in Beijing.

He Yuzhu has been transferred from the steel rolling mill to the Ministry of Metallurgy.

After the steel rolling mill's equipment was upgraded, the position of steel rolling mill manager became highly sought after, and many people wanted to take advantage of it.

He Yuzhu didn't hold on to it and readily gave up the position. As compensation, he joined a ministry.

For the past two years, Xu Damao has been seeking revenge on the people who reported him.

Thanks to his efforts, all the people who targeted him at the movie theater back then were arrested.

His behavior displeased the cinema's management, and he was reassigned to guard the warehouse.

Yi Zhonghai's three uncles spent two years trying to regain their status as the heads of the department.

Unfortunately, they never succeeded. The young people in the compound simply didn't buy into their ideas, and the older folks weren't interested either.

Their methods simply wouldn't work in the courtyard house.

Yi Zhonghai was also working hard to establish a senior care group, but with little success.

Yan Bugui was unwilling to contribute money, while Liu Haizhong had two sons who showed no interest in his suggestion to live with him in his old age.

Both of them firmly believed that their children would be filial in the future.

Until the two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, moved together.

He Yuzhu only learned about it from Xu Damao afterward. If he hadn't discovered it early, his second aunt would almost not have survived.

He Yuzhu asked him why he saved Liu Haizhong back then.

Xu Damao thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason: "I can't just stand by and watch someone die. I didn't think much about it at the time and just ran out to make a phone call."

This is not important.

Don't you think the Liu brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, are ruthless enough?

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Isn't this normal? You live right across from their house."

You know best how many beatings those two brothers endured as children.

Xu Damao nodded: "That's true. If I hadn't seen them born, I would have doubted that they weren't Liu Haizhong's sons."

However, I noticed that Liu Haizhong seems to be going to join Yi Zhonghai in having Qin Huairu take care of them in their old age.

To persuade him, Yi Zhonghai even let him try it for a month first.

He Yuzhu had already guessed this outcome. What he was curious about was whether Qin Huai would be happy with it.
Qin Huai had no choice but to agree back then.

It's true that she's Sha Zhu's wife, but Yi Zhonghai is also Sha Zhu's godfather.

Without Yi Zhonghai's support, she had no way to control Sha Zhu.

In addition to the money in Yi Zhonghai's hands and Liu Haizhong's hands, she is not at a disadvantage.

Of course, this is also related to Sha Zhu making a lot of money.

At that time, Sha Zhu was already working as a cook at Yu Li's restaurant, bringing back more than sixty yuan a day, more than she earned in a month. "Did Qin Huairu agree?"

Xu Damao said, "It seems they disagreed at first. But they compromised later. I heard that Liu Haizhong is going to hand over his retirement pension to Qin Huairu for management, to be used as a living allowance."

You know what, their food is actually pretty good.

This is only temporary.

The food wasn't good at first, so how did they get Liu Haizhong to join them?

Sha Zhu worked at Yu Li's restaurant back then, and the food there was even better than it is now. The meals Sha Zhu brought back every day were all eaten by several people.

In the end, Yan Bugui was so angry that he went to settle accounts with Yan Jiecheng, which also caused the Third Aunt to lose her job.

Once Sha Zhu lost his job, his meals deteriorated drastically, and he ate noodles every day.

One reason was to force Sha Zhu to go out and earn money, and the other reason was that Qin Huairu really didn't want to spend the money.

At this point, He Yuzhu thought of Yu Li. Perhaps because she had a stable job for the rest of her life, Yu Li had no intention of opening a restaurant.

Even at this point, her restaurant still hasn't opened.

As He Yuzhu was thinking, Xu Damao spoke up: "There's something else. Hao Min seems to want to open a restaurant with Yu Li."

"Are those two going to open a restaurant?" He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao with a puzzled expression.

Xu Damao explained, "Isn't it because the two of them have a good relationship? They're both equally stingy."

Zhenjiang told me that initially, Hao Min and Yan Jiecheng wanted to open a restaurant.

They went to Yan Bugui to borrow money, but Yan Bugui's interest rate was too high.

Hao Min was unhappy, so she went to Yu Li instead.

Originally, Yan Bugui demanded a ten percent interest rate, which Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li both agreed to through gritted teeth.

The two have not agreed, and it is estimated that Yan Bugui is demanding even higher interest rates.

The two chatted for a while longer, mostly about the courtyard house.

Before Xu Damao left, He Yuzhu told him to tell Ma Hua and Duan Zicong to come over.

He Yuzhu called these two over to talk to them about opening a restaurant.

Lou Xiao'e's factory in Shenzhen has settled down, and Lou Bancheng is also planning to return to Beijing.

The main problem is that Lou Bancheng's health is failing.

She had originally planned to start a business in Beijing, and intended to start with the food and beverage industry.

He Yuzhu mainly wanted to know their meaning.

When Lin Jinghan returned home, she also mentioned Yu Li's restaurant business.

“Panpan called me and said that Yuli wanted to borrow money from her to open a restaurant.”

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I met with Xu Damao today, and he also mentioned this matter."

What did you say?

Lin Jinghan said, "What can I say? You've been thinking about opening a restaurant these past few days."

We're about to open a restaurant, how can I tell her we can't?

"Once we make money, Yu Li will hate our family to death."

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Why do you care about her? Her restaurant won't be open for long."

Lin Jinghan asked curiously, "How did you know?"

He Yuzhu explained, "Isn't it obvious? Yu Li and Hao Min are both cunning people."

When there's no mutual benefit, they get along well. But once there is, it's no wonder they turn on each other.

Just you wait, they'll be splitting up in less than six months.

This is still He Yuzhu's exaggeration.

Sha Zhu worked at Yu Li's restaurant for less than three months.

Once the restaurant gained a good reputation and attracted more customers, she complained that Sha Zhu was asking for too much and immediately fired him.

This indirectly led to the failure of Yi Zhonghai's first venture into elderly care, with original shareholder Liu Haizhong withdrawing his investment and starting a business with Xu Damao.

Lin Jinghan considered Yu Li and Hao Min's personalities and tacitly agreed with He Yuzhu's guess. (End of Chapter)
