Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

At 10 p.m., Duan Zicong helped the dizzy Xu Damao back to the courtyard house.

This guy ate at the restaurant, and after Zhang Yan took Xu Zhenbao home, he met some friends and drank too much with them.

Duan Zicong hired the company's driver to take them back.

At this time, most of the people in the courtyard were still awake.

Yan Bugui and his wife were still sitting in the courtyard.

They've just returned and opened a fried chicken shop.

"Zicong, what's wrong with Xu Damao?"

Because of Ran Qiuye, the relationship between the Duan family and Yan Bugui was relatively good.

Duan Zicong could still chat with Yan Bugui for a few minutes.

"Teacher Yan, Xu Damao has had too much to drink, I'll take him back."

Xu Damao was drunk and remembered nothing. Suddenly, he heard someone call his name and began to wake up.

"He Yuzhu, come on, let's have another drink."

Yan Bugui was taken aback when he heard this: "Shazhu is back?"

Duan Zicong stopped responding to Yan Bugui. Normally, he might exchange a few words with Yan Bugui out of consideration for Ran Qiuye.

But he couldn't stand Yan Bugui calling He Yuzhu by his nickname in front of him.

"Say something! Is Sha Zhu back?"

Duan Zicong ignored him and helped Xu Damao to the backyard.

Yan Bugui's voice startled Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu awake, and the two came out of the house almost at the same time.

"Old Yan, what are you shouting for? Is Sha Zhu back?"

Qin Huai stared wide-eyed, searching the courtyard.

After searching around, they couldn't find He Yuzhu anywhere.

"Old Yan, where's Sha Zhu? Where did he go?"

Yan Bugui was just wondering why Duan Zicong suddenly turned against him.

We were having a good chat, and then I turned on him. That's just outrageous.

Yan Bugui decided to go find Ran Qiuye tomorrow and have a good talk with her.

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's questions, Yan Bugui snapped out of his daze: "How would I know where Shazhu is?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai became displeased: "You didn't see Sha Zhu, so what are you yelling about?"

Perhaps it was disappointment, or perhaps it was anger; Yi Zhonghai's tone was particularly stern, even carrying a hint of ferocity.

Yan Bugui was startled and quickly explained.

"Old Yi, you be the judge. Tell me, did I say anything wrong?"

Why is Duan Zicong ignoring me?

Yi Zhonghai, naturally, couldn't see the problem and directly convicted Duan Zicong.

"You learn what you learn from the people you follow. If you follow Sha Zhu, you'll only learn not to respect the elderly."

After saying that, he turned and went inside.

It's not like He Yuzhu is coming back; he has no interest in staying outside.

Qin Huai seemed to be deep in thought: "Old Yan, did Xu Damao really say he was drinking with Sha Zhu just now?"

Yan Bugui then realized that he was also angry with Yi Zhonghai.

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's question, he replied with displeasure, "I am a teacher, how can I lie?"

After saying this, Yan Bugui suddenly remembered that the Jia family was not to be trifled with, so he slipped back home.

Qin Huairu stood still and began to ponder.

It's not surprising that Xu Damao gets drunk, nor is it surprising that he talks nonsense when he's drunk.

The problem is that when he's drunk, calling out to He Yuzhu becomes abnormal.

Qin Huairu had a close relationship with Xu Damao and knew him quite well.

Based on his understanding of Xu Damao, he knew that Xu Damao would call out the name of whoever he was drinking with and when he got drunk and acted crazy.

The sudden calling of He Yuzhu's name this time probably means that He Yuzhu has returned.

Qin Huairu decided to wait in the courtyard and ask Duan Zicong later.

Duan Zicong escorted Xu Damao into the house, put him on the bed, and then left Xu Damao's house.

Upon arriving at the Intermediate People's Court, Qin Huairu stopped him: "Zicong, has Shazhu returned?"

Duan Zicong felt uncomfortable upon hearing this title.

"Qin Huairu, I'm warning you, don't call my master by his nickname again."

Qin Huairu's purpose was to find out He Yuzhu's whereabouts, not to cause trouble. Upon hearing Duan Zicong's words, he immediately changed his tune: "Okay, I won't shout anymore."

I'm asking you, has He Yuzhu returned from his business trip?

"No." Duan Zicong couldn't guess Qin Huairu's purpose, but he knew that Qin Huairu had ill intentions.

He wouldn't tell Qin Huairu the truth.

However, no matter how hard he tried to hide it, he couldn't stop Qin Huai from believing him.

Qin Huairu only believes what she wants to believe.

"Don't try to trick me."

Duan Zicong pushed him away: "Believe it or not, I can't be bothered with you."

Watching Duan Zicong's departing figure, Qin Huairu looked resentful.

"Don't think I can't guess just because you don't tell me."

Unable to find a breakthrough with He Yuzhu's two apprentices, Qin Huairu set her sights on Xu Damao.

The next morning, Qin Huairu went to Xu Damao's house.

Because Xu Damao had drunk too much yesterday, Duan Zicong could only close the door behind him when he left.

This made things convenient for Qin Huairu.

When Qin Huai entered Xu Damao's house, his eyes revealed envy and greed as he looked at the things in Xu Damao's house.

She really wanted to move all these things into her home.

However, her public image prevents her from doing that.

They couldn't take it home, but that didn't stop Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu cooked directly in Xu Damao's room, using Xu Damao's belongings.

She came over herself to cook for Xu Damao. If she accidentally made too much, taking some home wasn't unreasonable.

Xu Damao was half asleep when he smelled the aroma of food.

At first, he didn't realize what was happening and thought he was dreaming. But then he felt something was wrong and quickly sat up in bed.

Upon seeing Qin Huairu's figure, he subconsciously looked down at himself.

Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that he had not been violated.

"Sister Qin, how did you get in?"

When Qin Huairu saw that Xu Damao had woken up, she immediately turned around and walked over, a kind smile on her face.

"I saw you drank too much yesterday and was worried that no one would take care of you, so I came to check on you."

"Get up quickly, your sister made you breakfast."

Xu Damao was fully awake by this time. He looked at the table and immediately guessed Qin Huairu's trick.

The food on the table was enough for five people. There were more than a dozen boiled eggs alone.

This clearly means that the Jia family's food was cooked together with the meal.

Qin Huairu was clearly using the guise of taking care of him to take advantage of his family.

However, this wasn't a big problem for Xu Damao. He didn't care about making breakfast for five people, or even any amount of breakfast.

His meals cost more than that.

What Xu Damao couldn't understand was why Qin Huairu would come over to make him breakfast for no apparent reason.

Saying you're coming to take care of him is just a way of coaxing a child.

He's had drunk too much before, and Qin Huairu never came to take care of him then.

"Then I really need to thank you. Sister Qin, now that I'm awake, you can go now."

Qin Huairu was reluctant to leave. After a busy morning, how could she be satisfied without taking something back with her?

"Da Mao, I have something to ask you."

Xu Damao knew that the weasel's New Year's greeting to the chicken was not a good deed.

"Speak, what is it? Let me make this clear first: if I can help, I might not, and if I can't, I definitely won't."

The Jia family is a huge mess; anyone who gets involved is doomed. Xu Damao has no desire to provoke them.

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao with dissatisfaction, thinking that Xu Damao was too heartless.

Back when they were young, Sister Qin called him so sweetly, and she was always trying to get close to him.

Now that she's older, they actually look down on her.

"I don't have anything in particular, I just wanted to ask you a small question."

You said yesterday that Sha Zhu is back, is that true? (End of Chapter)
