Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

In front of the fat man, Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "Ignore him. I don't believe the police will care about such a small matter."

Yan Bugui then said, "Old Yi, when we get back tonight, let's go talk to the MCA."

They're doing business, and we haven't made things difficult for them, so why should they make things difficult for us?

Qin Huairu said, "Old Yan, this was definitely instigated by Sha Zhu. It's no use looking for Ma Hua."

If we're going to look for someone, we can only look for Sha Zhu.

They wanted to find He Yuzhu, but unfortunately they couldn't find him at all.

After He Yuzhu joined the ministry, he moved to the ministry's staff quarters.

They went to see He Yuzhu once, but after that, He Yuzhu told the receptionist that he would not see them again.

At that time, He Yuzhu was the leader, so the gatekeeper's office naturally had to listen to him.

They couldn't even get through the door.

No matter what they said, the gatekeeper wouldn't let them in.

They wanted to cause trouble, so much so that He Yuzhu had no choice but to come out.

He Yuzhu didn't come out, but the police did. If they hadn't been so old, they would have been detained.

Yi Zhonghai said, "If we can't find Sha Zhu, then we'll go find He Daqing."

These words made Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu's eyes light up. He Yuzhu lacked martial ethics and would call the police at the drop of a hat; their methods were basically useless against him.

But He Daqing was different. They felt that He Daqing's level was similar to theirs, and they had more in common.

The group began discussing what to say to He Daqing when they met him, and how to get him to agree.

Qin Huairu even naively said, "If only we could persuade He Daqing to come and be the head chef of our restaurant."

They were completely self-centered and never considered the thoughts of others.

When evening came and they saw that the restaurant was empty, they gave up hope.

After the fat man left, Yan Bugui said, "No matter what, we can't let the fat man come to the restaurant again."

The dish he made wasn't even as good as my wife's.

We're just wasting money supporting him.

Qin Huairu said helplessly, "I don't want him to come either, but we can't find a chef."

"Old Yan, couldn't you just talk to Yan Jiecheng properly and ask him to send us a chef?"

Yan Bugui sighed helplessly, "Let's go find He Daqing first, and then we'll figure out a solution when we get back."

It was getting late, so the group went together to He Daqing's place.

This was Qin Huairu's first time here. After looking at the location of the courtyard, she said, "I remember when Shazhu's wife was pregnant, she often didn't stay in the courtyard. She said she was staying in a nursing home."

Does she live here?

Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai also remembered, and regret appeared on their faces at the same time.

They were all deceived by He Yuzhu, who believed that Lin Jinghan really lived in a nursing home and asked the neighbors there to help take care of the child.

If they had known this news at the time, it would have been a major weakness for He Yuzhu.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

Qin Huairu also thought of this and said regretfully, "Shazhu is not on our side."

Yi Zhonghai snorted: "Don't mention that ungrateful bastard."

Yan Bugui quickly reminded him, "Old Yi, don't throw a tantrum when you see Old He later."

Yi Zhonghai didn't answer him, but he also didn't continue to throw a tantrum. The current situation simply didn't allow him to do so.

He invested a lot of money to open the restaurant. So far, he hasn't made a single penny back and is losing money every day.

Xiao Ting opened the door, recognized Yan Bugui, and said with displeasure, "Uncle Yan, what are you doing here? My master's wife said she doesn't want to see you."

Yan Bugui said, "Liu family's daughter-in-law, we are all old neighbors of Old He. We came here today to chat with him. Please let us in quickly."

Xiao Ting remained blocking the door: "You guys go back. My master hasn't come back from the restaurant yet."

Qin Huai stepped forward and pushed Xiao Ting, saying, "Little sister, don't lie to us. We just asked people around here."

They said that Lao He had already gone home. "He Daqing is getting old after all. He just wanders around the restaurant every day and comes home early after get off work."

This information is not a secret; you can find out with a little inquiry.

Because of his hospitalization, they haven't been allowing Yan Bugui to come over. They always use the excuse that He Daqing isn't home to refuse him.

To shut Xiao Ting up, Yan Bugui asked someone beforehand to find out the details.

Xiao Ting was alone, and with Qin Huairu blocking her way, she had no way to stop the three people.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui then squeezed into the He family's house.

The commotion caught He Daqing's attention.

He Daqing came out of the house: "Who do we have here? It's you guys."

Seeing He Daqing's expression, Yi Zhonghai felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He Daqing was two years older than him. But He Daqing looked several years younger.

The reason for such a large gap naturally lies with He Yuzhu.

Because he always felt that He Yuzhu should treat him like his own father.

As for why he had this feeling, he didn't know. He was convinced of one thing: the younger generation in courtyard number 95 should respect and be filial to the elders in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu released Xiao Ting and took two steps toward He Daqing.

"Old He, we old neighbors came to chat with you, why did you turn us away?"

She knew that He Daqing was not a docile person. In order to persuade He Daqing, she used the same methods she used to deal with men.

He Daqing was indeed not an honest person. But she forgot one thing.

He Daqing now works at He Yuzhu's restaurant, which is full of young and beautiful girls.

Men have a common flaw: they all prefer young women. With young women available, who wants to look at a middle-aged woman like Qin Huairu?

He Daqing was no exception. Having grown accustomed to delicacies, he had absolutely no interest in things like the Qinhuai River.

"Old Yi's wife, I have nothing to talk to you about."

The phrase "Old Yi's wife" broke Qin Huairu's defenses. Although she had married Yi Zhonghai, she had never considered herself his wife.

She believed that she had only married Yi Zhonghai for the sake of the Jia family, and that she had compromised her principles.

Her true identity will always be Jia Dongxu's wife.

Yan Bugui knew it was his turn to step forward, and said with a smile, "Old He, no matter what, we've been friends for decades."

Why are you being so distant? Lao Yi and I came here to have a serious talk with you.

Hou Yajie came out of the house and said impatiently, "The He family has nothing to talk to you about. You can leave now."

The two sides argued for a long time, but all they said was nonsense; not a single truth was revealed.

Feeling insulted, Yi Zhonghai turned and left in a fit of anger.

Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu had no choice but to leave as well.

"Old Yi, what are you doing? If you're asking for a favor, you should act like one."

Yi Zhonghai immediately exploded: "What do you mean, 'beg'? Do I need to beg him?"

His voice was loud, which made Yan Bugui angry.

"If you don't want to beg him, then what do you think about the restaurant's business?"

Whatever Yi Zhonghai can do, he resorts to moral blackmail.

"Nothing can be done. I don't believe that Sha Zhu would actually dare to call the police."

They were also stubborn and insisted on using He Yuzhu's name.

A few days later, He Yuzhu learned that they were still using it, so he called the police.

The police took them to the police station, but found they couldn't persuade Yi Zhonghai.

The police had no choice but to threaten them, telling them that if they continued to use He Yuzhu's name, they would shut down their restaurant. (End of Chapter)
