Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

In the Intermediate People's Court, Qin Huairu was having a heart-to-heart talk with Yi Zhonghai, constantly praising Bang Geng.

Yi Zhonghai's biggest worry is his filial piety.

Qin Huairu used his reputation to assure Yi Zhonghai that Banggeng would be filial.

This finally put Yi Zhonghai at ease.

“Zhonghai, how old is Banggeng this year? If we don’t let him get married soon, he’ll even hate me, his mother.”

Think back to Wu Tiezhu back then; he wasn't even thirty yet, but he already wanted to get married.

"To get married, he's willing to break ties with you, his master."

Yi Zhonghai's mind also returned to twenty years ago.

At that time, He Yuzhu was disobedient, so he found Wu Tiezhu as a substitute.

At first, Wu Tiezhu was indeed quite competent. Respecting him and taking care of the Jia family, that period was the most comfortable time for Yi Zhonghai.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

As Wu Tiezhu got older, he started thinking about finding a wife.

To get married, he broke ties with his master and even abandoned Qin Huairu.

He couldn't understand why there were such selfish people in the world.

Bang Geng's current situation is similar to Wu Tiezhu's.

Yi Zhonghai was a little scared, afraid that Bang Geng would break off his relationship with him like Wu Tiezhu did, because of his marriage.

“Huai Ru, Bang Geng is different from Wu Tiezhu. I watched Bang Geng grow up, and I’m overjoyed that he’s getting married.”

This can be considered Yi Zhonghai's statement.

Qin Huairu, however, was not satisfied with this statement. She was naturally happy that Yi Zhonghai didn't stop Bang Geng from getting married.

But even if Yi Zhonghai doesn't stop him, there might be others who try to sabotage him.

This person was none other than Xu Damao.

Qin Huai knew the people in the courtyard very well. He especially knew Xu Damao very well.

Xu Damao is someone who thrives on chaos.

If he knew that Bang Geng had found a girlfriend, and such a beautiful one at that, he would definitely try to sabotage it.

Qin Huairu's purpose in keeping Yi Zhonghai was not only to persuade him, but also to use him to deal with Xu Damao.

“Zhonghai, I’m not worried about anything else, I’m just worried that Xu Damao will cause trouble.”

“He dares.” Yi Zhonghai’s heart was still filled with resentment when he mentioned Xu Damao.

Knowing Xu Damao's temper, Yi Zhonghai knew that Xu Damao would definitely step in to cause trouble.

Since Xu Damao is going to cause trouble, he must stop Xu Damao and prevent him from succeeding.

"Huai Ru, don't worry, with me here, Xu Damao won't be able to do anything bad."

With Yi Zhonghai's promise, Qin Huairu finally felt relieved.

Qin Huairu left Yi Zhonghai to have tea in the courtyard, then went back to his room to prepare lunch for Tang Yanling.

Soon after, Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua returned and came over to help entertain Tang Yanling.

Chen Kai also came along this time.

Because Qin Huairu disagreed, Chen Kai and Xiao Huaihua are still not married.

Qin Huairu saw Chen Kai but didn't say anything else. Today was Bang Geng's big day, and she couldn't argue with Xiao Huaihua.

With everything in place, the east wind will arrive.

Banggeng led a beautiful girl into the courtyard.

The people in the courtyard were immediately surprised when they saw Tang Yanling. It turned out that Tang Yanling was really beautiful, just as beautiful as Qin Huairu.

Tang Yanling had done her homework this time, greeting everyone she met warmly.

The two entered the Central Courtyard and the first person they saw was Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting in the courtyard.

Bang Geng hesitated for a moment, then led Tang Yanling to Yi Zhonghai's side: "Dad Yi, this is my girlfriend, Tang Yanling."

Bang Geng is actually very reluctant to call Yi Zhonghai that, but there's nothing he can do about it.

He needed Yi Zhonghai to pay for his marriage to Tang Yanling, and he even needed Yi Zhonghai to give up his house.

After marriage, Tang Yanling's employment issues also required Yi Zhonghai's intervention. In every aspect, the Jia family couldn't do without Yi Zhonghai.

Bang Geng had no choice but to bite the bullet and treat Yi Zhonghai as his stepfather.

“Yanling, this is my stepfather. He is also an old man in our compound.”

Although Tang Yanling found it a little strange, she still obediently called him "Dad Yi".

Yi Zhonghai was satisfied with Bang Geng's introduction. In any case, Bang Geng bringing Tang Yanling home and introducing her to him first was a sign of respect.

This was also Qin Huairu's intention. Before Bang Geng returned, she called all the Jia family members back, leaving Yi Zhonghai to be the first to see Tang Yanling.

Once Yi Zhonghai's vanity is satisfied, he will no longer object to the marriage.

Otherwise, if Yi Zhonghai is displeased, he will definitely step in to sabotage the operation.

Even if they don't leave the house, if Yi Zhonghai leaks Tang Yanling's information, the people in the courtyard can ruin the marriage.

Yi Zhonghai has a criminal record.

"Banggeng, Yanling, you're here. Your mother is waiting for you inside."

Banggeng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Dad Yi, please sit here and have some tea. I'll take Yanling to see my mom and grandma."

The two entered the Jia family home, which then became lively. Only Yi Zhonghai remained, sitting alone in the courtyard.

Xiao Huaihua quietly nudged Chen Kai, signaling him to come over and talk to Yi Zhonghai.

If Yi Zhonghai could agree to her marriage with Chen Kai, it would definitely be much easier.

News of Tang Yanling quickly spread throughout the courtyard.

Xu Damao, who was sitting in the backyard, naturally heard the news as well.

"So, Bang Geng is getting married soon."

Liu Haizhong said, "He should have gotten married long ago. Doesn't he realize how old he is?"

Xu Damao laughed and said, "He deserved it."

Liu Haizhong knew about Xu Damao's feud with the Jia family, so he said, "Damao, you're a big boss now. Don't dwell on the past."

Xu Damao asked, "I don't understand what you're saying. I'm busy outside every day and I've never caused trouble in the yard."

Liu Haizhong looked disdainful, clearly not believing Xu Damao's words.

Xu Damao did not cause any trouble in the courtyard, but Yi Zhonghai often used Xu Damao as an example.

Thanks to Yi Zhonghai's publicity, everyone remembers Xu Damao for doing bad things, but it's hard to say when he did them.

Even normal people would be fooled, let alone someone as brainless as Liu Haizhong.

Xu Damao got really angry when he saw his expression: "Hey, Uncle Liu, what do you mean? I haven't done anything to you lately."

Auntie Er was afraid the two would start arguing, so she quickly stepped in to mediate.

"Da Mao, Lao Liu didn't mean it that way. What kind of business have you been doing lately? Could you take us with you?"

Xu Damao thought to himself with disdain, "With your attitude, I'd rather take you guys with me than make money with anyone else."

“I haven’t done anything yet, I’m just building a factory for He Yuzhu on the construction site.”

Under the subtle hints from his second aunt, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to give in. His rebar business was failing, and he had been living off his savings.

The Liu brothers went out every day to look for ways to help, but to no avail.

With the family business not doing well, Liu Guangqi has been calling home much less often.

The couple couldn't bear the difference in their circumstances; though they didn't say it, they were extremely anxious.

"Da Mao, if you come across any good opportunities, don't forget me. Didn't we do very well together when we first started doing business as partners?"

Xu Damao chuckled: "Uncle Liu, do you still remember when we first started doing business, we did quite well?"

Then let me ask you, who played tricks on me and registered a separate company?

"That Da Mao, I was wrong about this. I was fooled by Lao Yi and Lao Yan."

Don't hold it against me.

Xu Damao pursed his lips: "Since you believe them, then continue doing business with them."

They make fried chicken, right? You could partner with them and open a big shop. (End of Chapter)
