Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

In the morning, Chen Xiaofang asked Wu Tiezhu to go to the factory to ask for leave, while she went with Meng Na to the restaurant.

They walked together to the front yard and happened to run into Miao Jianye's wife, Bi Xiufeng.

The families had a good relationship, so Bi Xiufeng took the initiative to greet the two of them.

"Where are you two going together?"

"I'm just going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things," Meng Na casually made up a reason.

She didn't know that Bi Xiufeng went out to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"That's perfect, I'm going too, let's go together."

Helpless and unable to explain, Meng Na could only take Bi Xiufeng out.

They weren't trying to hide it from Bi Xiufeng, but from the three old men in the courtyard.

Over the years, the residents of the courtyard house have reached a consensus: if there's anything good, the three old men must not know.

If they find out, things are basically doomed.

Especially when it comes to the child's wedding, it must be kept completely secret, and the three uncles must not be allowed to find out.

Several families in the compound got married, but they only told the other residents about it at the very last minute.

Bi Xiufeng was unaware that she had been mentioning things she was missing at home along the way.

When they arrived at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, she looked at the two people who had stopped and asked, "Come on, we're already at the supply and marketing cooperative, why don't you go in?"

Left with no other option, the two revealed their true purpose, instructing Bi Xiufeng not to tell anyone.

They told Bi Xiufeng because they all knew that the Miao family and Yi Zhonghai had a bad relationship.

Because of the old woman's affair, the Miao family gained a huge advantage over Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai had never thought much of the Miao family.

Upon hearing this, Bi Xiufeng quickly asked, "Can I come along?"

To be honest, I don't want to work at my current company anymore.

My factory is a small factory, not as good as those small businesses run by individuals.

We don't even have any orders right now, and I'm barely making ends meet this month.

Chen Xiaofang was watching Meng Na.

Meng Na is Ma Hua's wife, and Ma Hua is He Yuzhu's apprentice. Meng Na's status is definitely higher than theirs.

Meng Na thought about it and realized she couldn't stop it. Besides, the Miao family had a decent relationship with He Yuzhu, so she agreed.

The three of them walked together to the restaurant.

Inside the courtyard house, Yan Bugui suffered an undeserved misfortune. He was unaware of what Yan Jiecheng and Hao Min had done.

When I woke up in the morning, I saw Li Dagen and his wife and even smiled and talked to them.

He swore it was definitely not because of the steamed buns and fried dough sticks that Zhou Sujuan bought from outside.

Li Dagen and his wife knew what Yan Jiecheng had been doing. Yan Bugui was Yan Jiecheng's father, so naturally he was disliked.

Yan Bugui was dissatisfied with the two men's attitude, muttered "they're ungrateful," and went home.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the cornbread he had eaten that morning, and the veins on his face bulged.

He couldn't understand it. What time of year was it? There was no cornmeal for sale outside anymore.

Where did Qin Huai get so much cornmeal?

He'd told Qin Huairu countless times. He's so old; he really can't work anymore.

Why didn't Qin Huairu believe him?
He's in good health so he can retire comfortably, not so he can work.

He's planned his whole life, but hasn't enjoyed anything yet. Of course, he needs to take good care of his health and try to live a few more years to enjoy life.

His goal wasn't high; he just wanted to live to be over ninety.

Yi Zhonghai knew very well that Qin Huairu's purpose was not necessarily to get him to actually do the work.

Qin Huairu's real purpose was to get him to spend money to start a company for Banggeng so that Banggeng could make money.

is it possible?

His money is all saved for retirement; how could he let Bang Geng squander it?

Yi Zhonghai decided not to treat himself badly, so he put two steamed buns in his pocket, grabbed some money, and prepared to leave.

If Qin Huairu sees the cornbread left at home, he will definitely put it away and let him eat it again at the next meal.

He had to get rid of those two steamed buns.

The solution was simple: give it to Yan Bugui. Others might object, but Yan Bugui wouldn't.

He's the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others. If you give him a pile of shit for free, he'll happily accept it.

Of the three old men, Liu Haizhong lived the most comfortable life. At the crack of dawn, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu would get up and ask him what he wanted for breakfast.

Once it's decided, the two sons will go out to buy it.

As long as Liu Haizhong gets up on time, he doesn't need to worry about anything else.

He was happily eating steamed buns and drinking millet porridge.

The steamed buns were bought by Liu Guangtian, while the millet porridge was cooked by Liu Guangfu's wife.

"Guangtian, where is Xu Damao?"

Liu Guangtian said respectfully, "Dad, Xu Damao is still sleeping in. If you need to see him, I'll go and wake him up right away."

Liu Haizhong waved his hand: "No need. I feel he wants to find other ways to make money."

You and Guangfu should spend more time with him lately and try to get some information.

Don't let him do business behind our backs.

"Dad, don't worry. Guangfu and I will keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble behind our backs."

Liu Haizhong gave a few more instructions before letting the two go.

The second aunt then began to instruct them: "When you have time, go find your brother and ask him to come and see us too."

Liu Guangqi simply didn't want to come back, and no matter how many times they tried to find him, it was no use.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu dared not object and obediently agreed.

After Liu Haizhong and his second aunt finished eating, the two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Haizhong, ate their breakfast.

Both of them did this in order to impress Liu Haizhong.

They packed their things, went out to eat, and chatted there.

"Brother, Mom keeps talking about you, but you just won't come back. What should we do?"

Liu Guangqi huffed and said in a low voice, "Whatever. It's better if he doesn't come or not."

If he comes back, given Dad and Mom's favoritism, will there be anything left for just the two of us in the house?

Liu Guangfu nodded in agreement.

When Xu Damao got up, he saw the two of them having breakfast in the yard.

He simply sat down to the side, picked up a steamed bun, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Why are you two eating out?"

Liu Guangfu said, "My parents were watching TV inside, and we came out to eat so as not to disturb them."

"Brother Da Mao, where are we doing business today?"

After finishing his steamed buns, Xu Damao asked, "Has Manager Geng's order been shipped out?"

"It was all shipped out yesterday. My dad called Director Lan, and it was only then that the people at the rebar mill managed to gather all the goods."

"Did Manager Geng receive the money?"

"We gave him the money. Would you let him haul the goods if we didn't pay him? You can trust us brothers to handle things."

Xu Damao was very satisfied with their performance: "When we distribute the profits this month, I'll give you a bigger bonus for your hard work."

The two brothers were naturally delighted.

They don't own any shares in the company, so if they want money, they can only rely on Liu Haizhong's kindness.

As everyone knows, Liu Haizhong didn't have much kindness towards the two of them.

They had to go to great lengths to please Liu Haizhong and his second aunt in order to receive even a small reward.

"Thanks, Brother Da Mao. You still haven't told us what we're going to do today."

Xu Damao retorted, "What else can we do? We've already used up our quota for this month at the rebar mill."

Even if you find the way, you still can't get your hands on rebar.

Anyway, there are only a few days left until the end of the month, and I've made quite a bit of money this month, so I might as well take a break.

Although he said he was taking a break, Xu Damao wouldn't stay still. After finishing his meal, he prepared to go out and check on He Yuzhu's restaurant.

The Liu brothers, Guangtian and Guangtian, had been watching him from the doorway. When they saw him go out, they came over.

Where are you going?

Xu Damao understood what was going on as soon as he saw the two men staring at him.

He said directly, "I'm going to check out He Yuzhu's restaurant." (End of Chapter)
