Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After Yi Zhonghai left, Yan Bugui and his wife sat facing each other in bewilderment.

This time, Yi Zhonghai brought up a fact that the two of them had never dared to face.

The third aunt asked cautiously, "Do you think what Lao Yi said is true?"

She hoped for a negative answer.

Yan Bugui was unable to fulfill his wish because he himself was unsure of the outcome.

The three women understood what was going on as soon as they saw Yan Bugui's expression.

She asked with heartache, "Then what about our retirement?"

Yan Bugui was unwilling to end up like Yi Zhonghai; he hoped to be like He Daqing, or at the very least like Liu Haizhong.

"What else can we do? Of course, we have to find a way to make money."

Yan Bugui knew all too well that it would be extremely difficult to learn from He Daqing.

He Daqing's children all come from well-off families and don't mind supporting him.

If He Daqing is ruled out, then Liu Haizhong is the only option.

The three women were quite interested in making money. The problem was that they couldn't find a way to do it.

The couple can only make a living by selling a few potted plants nowadays. But how much money can they earn just by growing flowers at their doorstep?

"Do you know any ways to make money? By the way, you've been getting along well with He Daqing lately. Could you talk to him and ask him to help us make money together?"

Neither of them were stupid; seeing how well He Daqing's restaurant was built, they knew it was very profitable.

If they want to make money steadily, the He family is naturally their first choice.

When Yan Bugui went to see He Daqing that day, he didn't come empty-handed. Instead, he bought a pound of pig's head meat and brought a bottle of wine from home.

"Old He."

He Daqing felt a headache coming on when he saw Yan Bugui arrive again.

After spending this time together, he finally understood why He Yuzhu disliked Yan Bugui so much.

Yan Bugui is more annoying than a fly; once you're hooked, you can't get rid of him.

Hou Yajie argued with Yan Bugui several times.

He Daqing said impatiently, "Why are you here again?"

Yan Bugui, however, was not aware of this and never thought of himself as annoying.

From the moment he became a liaison officer, Yi Zhonghai encouraged him to do so in order to win him over.

This has become his instinct.

"I've come to have a drink with you. Look, I specially bought some pig's head meat and brought a bottle of wine."

Seeing that he hadn't come empty-handed, He Daqing's expression improved considerably. He then led Yan Bugui into his home.

Seeing Yan Bugui following, Liu Tao didn't know what to say, so he instructed his wife: "Tell your master's wife to stop him from associating with him."

My senior colleague came back that day and specifically told me not to let the people from that courtyard house bother me.

Xiao Ting said, "Do you need to explain that? My master's wife and I also wanted to get rid of him, but he pretended not to understand. What could we do?"

Alright, stop talking and get back to work at the restaurant.

What time will you be back tonight?

Liu Tao said, "It's hard to say. The restaurant has been doing very well lately. My senior brother treats us so well, I have to live up to his kindness."

Xiao Ting saw Liu Tao off, then turned around and saw Hou Yajie coming out of the house angrily.

"Master's wife, what's wrong?"

Hou Yajie said, "It's all because of your master, who brought Old Man Yan in again. Don't bring any fruit in later. And don't add any more dishes for them."

We'll eat it ourselves.

"Master's wife, is this alright?"

"If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility."

Xiao Ting didn't bring any food or wine into the house.

On the table were only the pig's head meat that Yan Bugui had brought over, and a small plate of peanuts.

"Old He, I have a question for you. Do you still want to invest in that restaurant of yours?"

He Daqing picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and immediately spat it out.

"What is this thing you're holding? It smells sour."

Yan Bugui said, "Impossible, this is a fine wine that I have treasured."

He Daqing picked up his wine glass and smelled it: "What a load of rubbish! There's not a trace of alcohol in this wine."

Yan Bugui, of course, knew what had happened to his wine. He pretended to sniff it and said, "Oh dear, I forgot. This is for my own consumption. Yang Ruihua gave me the wrong one."

Where's your wine?

He Daqing looked around but couldn't see it: "They should have finished drinking it. They'll bring it back to me in a bit."

Yan Bugui had no choice but to chat with He Daqing.

"When it comes to making money, can you take me with you?"

He Daqing said, "I don't have any business making money."

"It's about the restaurant. You see, Lao Liu and Xu Damao are doing business together and have made a lot of money."

Everyone's talking about making money these days. The government even encourages its leaders to go into business and make money.

I also want to respond to the country's call.

The two chatted for a while, but Xiao Ting didn't bring in the dishes.

Tired from talking, He Daqing subconsciously picked up his wine glass and drank Yan Bugui's wine.

A moment later, Hou Yajie walked in from outside, carrying nothing in her hands.

The meaning is quite clear: they are not planning to prepare a meal for the two of them.

He Daqing wanted to speak, but seeing her unfriendly gaze, he dared not utter a word.

In the end, Yan Bugui gained nothing and even lost a pound of pig's head meat.

The old woman looked at him empty-handed and asked in confusion, "Didn't you bring anything back today?"

Yan Bugui said angrily, "Don't even mention it. Old He's wife is too stingy."

It's just eating something at his house, isn't it?

Her family doesn't lack those things.

The three women said helplessly, "Let's forget about it today. Did Old He promise to help you make money?"

Yan Bugui shook his head: "I talked to him all night, but he still didn't agree."

The three women concluded, "He's just like Sha Zhu, only thinking about himself and unwilling to let us neighbors benefit from it."

If his family won't help, what are we supposed to do?

She doesn't even consider that the Yan family has never been willing to let others take advantage of them.

Yan Bugui had no other choice but to try to find Liu Haizhong to discuss the matter.

In the middle of the night, He Yuzhu received a phone call saying that He Daqing had been hospitalized.

He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. You see, He Daqing's health had always been quite good.

After the White Widow died, he was kicked out of his home and lived alone for several years, and he was fine.

Lin Jinghan urged him, "Hurry up and get dressed, let's go to the hospital."

When the two arrived at the hospital, He Yushui and her sister were already there. From the ward, the two could be heard scolding someone.

He Yuzhu entered the ward and saw He Daqing lying on the hospital bed with a dark face.

"what happened?"

He Yushui said angrily, "I've told him so many times not to associate with those people in the courtyard, but he just won't listen."

Today he drank with Yan Bugui, and he actually dared to drink the wine that Yan Bugui brought.

Doesn't he even consider whether Yan Bugui's wine is edible?

He Yuzhu only half understood: "Don't be angry, tell me what happened."

Xiao Ting stepped forward, apologizing profusely while recounting what had happened.

He Yuzhu finally understood what had happened and said, "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

Xiao Ting bears some responsibility, but the blame cannot be entirely placed on her.

The problem still lies with He Daqing.

If he hadn't associated with Yan Bugui, none of this would have happened.

He Daqing's health is fine, he just has diarrhea and will be fine after a couple of days of rest.

He Yuzhu said, "If you see that Yan Bugui in the future, just don't let him in."

Hou Yajie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that He Yuzhu wasn't angry: "It's my fault too. If I had brought him some water, he wouldn't have drunk Yan Bugui's wine."

He Yuzhu didn't want to talk about this: "Aunt Hou, this is my dad's own fault. Just remember not to let Yan Bugui into the house in the future."

The group spent two hours at the hospital before finally going home. (End of Chapter)
