Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Qin Huairu didn't understand these things, and seeing how serious Xu Damao was, even if she had doubts, there was nothing she could do.

"If you don't want to lend it, fine. But don't forget to give a wedding gift when Bang Geng gets married."

Xu Damao agreed with a smile, but he had already decided in his heart that he would not contribute a single penny.

When Jia Dongxu got married, the Xu family gave him money as a wedding gift.

When he got married, the Jia family didn't contribute a single penny.

Although he had no intention of inviting anyone from the courtyard, it was inappropriate for the Jia family to remain silent.

Qin Huairu, however, did not think so.

Xu Damao didn't hold a wedding ceremony when he got married. Since there was no wedding ceremony, why should they give money as a wedding gift?

"By the way, are you going to see Sha Zhu tomorrow? I have another invitation here, please take it to him."

Xu Damao wanted to play a trick on Qin Huairu, but he gave up when he thought of He Yuzhu's temper.

Compared to He Yuzhu who used to be violent, the current He Yuzhu is even more frightening.

If Qin Huai uses this excuse to pester He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu will definitely settle accounts with him.

"Aren't you making things difficult for us? Everyone knows that He Yuzhu has long since cut ties with your family."

"If I send it to him, he can break my legs."

Qin Huairu became anxious as soon as he heard Xu Damao make excuses.

"This is a happy occasion, why would he hit you? Da Mao, I won't lie to you, I want to take this opportunity to ease the tension with Sha Zhu."

You know, we're all old neighbors, and we don't have any deep-seated hatred, so why make things so tense?

It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies.

"Can you just act as a peacemaker for me and Sha Zhu?"

Xu Damao couldn't see that Qin Huairu had any intention of easing tensions.

If we really want to ease tensions, the first thing we need to do is change how we address He Yuzhu.

They shouldn't even address him properly, yet they're still trying to mend their relationship with He Yuzhu.

Only a fool would believe that.

"Sister Qin, if you want to reconcile with He Yuzhu, you should personally deliver the invitation to him."

Alright, I've received my invitation. If Banggeng is free that day, I'll definitely come.

"Xu Damao, you..." Qin Huairu watched Xu Damao leave, her teeth itching with anger.

If she could find He Yuzhu, would she still need to block Xu Damao?

Yi Zhonghai witnessed the whole thing and angrily came out of the house: "I knew Xu Damao was a scoundrel who couldn't do his job properly."

Qin Huai sighed helplessly.

She also wanted to give Xu Damao a good scolding, but she couldn't.

At this point, the relationship with Xu Damao soured, and what could be done if Xu Damao refused to give a gift?

"Alright, Zhonghai, if you don't want to, then let's go find Ma Hua. Ma Hua is Sha Zhu's apprentice, we're sure we can find him."

Besides this method, Yi Zhonghai couldn't think of any better solution, so he could only sit down angrily.

Hearing the commotion, Yan Bugui went from the front yard to the middle yard.

"what happened?"

Yi Zhonghai recounted what Xu Damao had just done with a resentful expression.

"The atmosphere in our compound has been ruined by Sha Zhu and Xu Damao."

They themselves are unfilial, and as a result, the children in the compound are also unfilial.

With just a casual remark, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were branded with a huge crime.

Under Yi Zhonghai's relentless brainwashing, Yan Bugui's confidence dwindled, and he increasingly felt that his children would be unfilial.

However, he refused to admit that his education had failed and insisted that his calculations were correct.

If it's not his problem, then it must be someone else's problem.

The "others" in question are, of course, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

"Who can argue with that? They were both bad kids from a young age."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Yan Bugui's words, he felt that he had met a kindred spirit, and then chatted with Yan Bugui about the joint elderly care project.

"Old Yan, what's your decision? I don't need to tell you how filial Huai Ru is. Bang Geng's wife is also filial. She didn't look down on Bang Geng just because the Jia family wasn't well-off."

These days, there aren't many good girls like her anymore.

Yan Bugui shook his head, unwilling to agree. If he didn't have to pay, he would certainly be happy to have Qin Huairu help him in his old age.

But Yi Zhonghai's condition was that he would pay for it.

He wouldn't even give his own son all that money, so how could he possibly give it to Qin Huairu?

When Yi Zhonghai saw him shake his head, he immediately became very dissatisfied: "Old Yan, why are you so stubborn?"

Yan Bugui retorted indignantly, "How am I so stubborn? If I gave the money to Qin Huairu, would Yan Jiecheng agree to it?"

That's just not how things work out.

The two started arguing about this.

Liu Haizhong walked over: "What are you two arguing about again?"

Yan Bugui quickly told Liu Haizhong what had happened, and Yi Zhonghai did the same.

Two people, two different versions of events, immediately confused Liu Haizhong.

He thought Yi Zhonghai made sense. Yan Jiecheng lived in the courtyard house, but it was almost the same as not living in the courtyard at all.

Yan Bugui's filial piety was merely lip service; there was no real filial piety whatsoever.

As for the other children, they haven't visited the courtyard house in all these years.

According to Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui really should find someone to take care of him in his old age.

It wouldn't make sense to expect Qin Huairu to help you in your old age without giving her money.

On second thought, Yan Bugui's words made sense. If the money was given to Qin Huairu and the children found out, they would be even less likely to come back.

Both sides have valid points, and Liu Haizhong really didn't know how to persuade them.

He thought of himself and realized that he was the one with the greatest ability.

"Old Yan, you should learn from me. Look at my children, how filial they are."

Take out your savings and give them to your children; they will definitely repay you with filial piety.

This statement pleases neither side.

Yi Zhonghai had long known that Liu Haizhong's children would be unfilial. If Liu Haizhong hadn't been rich, the two sons of the Liu family would have run away long ago.

Yan Bugui, on the other hand, was simply unwilling to give money. He thought Liu Haizhong was too foolish, trying to keep his son by his side with money, which was not wise at all.

When Liu Haizhong saw that the two of them were not speaking, he immediately became unhappy: "What, you're not convinced?"

Yi Zhonghai and his companion took this action as a provocation.

"Don't say that. The old lady said it long ago: if parents are not kind, their children will be unfilial. Old Yan, explain the meaning of that sentence to him."

Yan Bugui put aside his grudges with Yi Zhonghai and said to Liu Haizhong, "This means that if parents don't love their children, the children will be unfilial to their parents."

Old Liu, have you forgotten what happened with Guangtian Guangfu before?

Liu Haizhong stood up, displeased: "That's enough. The deaf old lady is talking nonsense."

Even if Guangtian and Guangfu are unfilial, I still have Guangqi.

I've never hit Guangqi even once since I was little. If others are unfilial to me, Guangqi will definitely be.

Yi Zhonghai curled his lip: "Don't dream about it. If Liu Guangqi were truly filial, he would have moved back home long ago."

Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Guangqi is Liu Hai's Achilles' heel; he won't allow anyone to say anything bad about him.

Yi Zhonghai's words immediately enraged Liu Haizhong.

Yan Bugui was too scared to speak.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Qin Huairu quickly stepped in to mediate.

"Old Yi, Old Liu, stop arguing, you're making a fool of yourselves."

Neither of them wanted to be laughed at by the people in the courtyard, so they immediately stopped arguing.

Liu Haizhong glared angrily at Yi Zhonghai a few times, then turned around and went back to the backyard.

After Yi Zhonghai waited for him to leave, he said to Yan Bugui, "Look at him. We kindly reminded him, but he doesn't appreciate it."

Yan Bugui, however, did not agree with Yi Zhonghai. He didn't believe Yi Zhonghai was acting out of kindness. (End of Chapter)
