Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Xu Damao stood behind Yan Bugui and said impatiently, "Yan Bugui, get out of the way, we have things to do."

Yan Bugui blocked the car door, his eyes practically glued to every corner of the car.

If you look closely, you can see the greed and possessiveness in his eyes.

If you don't stop him, he could carry the car back to his bed.

Yan Bugui reluctantly withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Damao ingratiatingly.

"Da Mao, I've never ridden in such a nice car in my life."

"I'm free today, could I come with you for a walk?"

This is just a superficial excuse.

Yan Bugui guessed that He Yuzhu sent the car over because he had something to do with Xu Damao.

If he doesn't meet her, so be it; but since he has, he can't let her go.

Yan Bugui knew that the more he knew, the more opportunities he would have to take advantage of others.

This time, I'm going to see He Yuzhu.

In Yan Bugui's eyes, this was the best opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

This little scheme of hers could not possibly escape Xu Damao's notice.

Back then, Xu Damao was able to be the only clear-headed person in the courtyard, which naturally meant he had unique insight.

Others may not be able to see through Yan Bugui, but Xu Damao sees him very clearly.

Even if you can't see through all of Yan Bugui's thoughts, you can see through most of them.

Knowing that Yan Bugui had ill intentions was enough.

Xu Damao wasn't stupid enough to take a scheming Yan Bugui to see He Yuzhu.

"You're retired and have nothing to do, but I have things to do. Get out of my way."

This statement did not make Yan Bugui let go. If he let go so easily, he wouldn't be Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui didn't care whether Xu Damao agreed or not, and sat down directly.

After he sat down, he didn't say anything, just stared at Xu Damao.

That means, "Let's see what you can do to me."

Xu Damao was so angry he laughed. Yan Bugui was old, and it was indeed not advisable to use force against him.

But is it necessary to resort to violence to deal with Yan Bugui?

Xu Damao ignored him and said directly to Li Zhenjiang, "Call Chaoyang Hotel for me later and tell them I need to use this car to go to XJ."

Xu Damao's words left everyone present feeling bewildered.

Li Zhenjiang didn't understand either, so he asked curiously, "What are you going to XJ for?"

Xu Damao glanced at Yan Bugui and said with a smile, "Didn't he want to go out for a walk? I'll take him to XJ."

Yan Bugui always felt that Xu Damao had ill intentions. Xu Damao's call to go to XJ was definitely aimed at him.

"Xu Damao, did you bring any money?"

Xu Damao said coldly, "Bring them. I only brought the three of us, not yours."

If you don't have any money, that's your problem. If you don't pay people for food, drink, and other necessities along the way, and you get arrested, that's none of my business.

The local folks, young and old, can attest to me that it was Yan Bugui who shamelessly insisted on getting into the car.

If he doesn't come back, it's none of my business.

From the moment the deaf old lady started spreading rumors about the Xu family, everyone in Nanluoguxiang knew that Xu Damao was no good.

As for what bad things he actually did, nobody cared.

In short, everyone just needs to know that he's not a good person, and that's enough.

Yan Bugui, as the main force behind spreading this rumor, had long ago engraved this in his heart.

Xu Damao's meaning was clearly that he wanted to abandon him in the wilderness.

Because of that rumor, Yan Bugui firmly believed that Xu Damao was capable of such a thing.

Even if you didn't send him to Xinjiang, or even to Hebei, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

He had no money and was abandoned in the wilderness, facing certain death.

As for sitting in the car the whole time without getting off, that's impossible.

You have to leave the car to eat, drink, and relieve yourself.

As soon as he leaves, Xu Damao will drive away.

Yan Bugui dared not gamble and quickly got out of the car.

The onlookers covered their mouths and chuckled.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui's old face turned red.

Had he known Xu Damao would do this, he would never have dared to use such a tactic, even if it meant his death. But it was too late for regrets now; Yan Bugui could only go back to Yi Zhonghai and ask him to avenge him.

A group of people regarded Yi Zhonghai as a bodhisattva in a temple, and would seek his help whenever they encountered trouble.

Yi Zhonghai also wanted to be a bodhisattva, but unfortunately he had the ambition but not the ability.

Xu Damao spat at Yan Bugui's retreating figure before getting into his car and leaving Nanluoguxiang.

Jin Youcai said admiringly, "Da Mao, you're really capable. Everyone else can only accept their bad luck when faced with the persistent Yan Bugui."

Xu Damao said smugly, "I've figured it out now. They're just a bunch of paper tigers."

The more you care about saving face, the more they will bully you.

If you ignore everything, they will be helpless against you.

Look at He Yuzhu, he doesn't even see them.

There was nothing they could do but worry.

The people of Nanluoguxiang are not unaware of this principle.

The problem is that Yi Zhonghai and his group are too talkative, talking about mutual help and respect for elders.

On the surface, they all seem to be grand principles.

Those who are slow to think will fall for their tricks.

It's really too difficult to withstand their three-pronged attack.

There aren't many people in the area with that kind of confidence; you could count them on one hand.

Yan Bugui ran to the Intermediate People's Court and told Yi Zhonghai what had happened before Yi Zhonghai could even ask him.

"Old Yi, you have to stand up for me. Xu Damao is going too far."

We've been friends for ages, we know each other too well.

Yi Zhonghai naturally understood the benefits of Yan Bugui getting on the bus.

He was a little angry. Not angry at Xu Damao's words, but angry at Yan Bugui for being so cowardly.

Yan Bugui should hold on a little longer and wait for him to pass.

"Can't you hold on a little longer? You're so useless."

Yan Bugui was dumbfounded. He had come seeking help, but instead, he was being scolded.

"No, Lao Yi, who are you from?"

Yi Zhonghai snorted: "What do you think? You just sit in the car, I don't believe Xu Damao would really dare to leave you stranded on the road."

Yan Bugui immediately understood; he was being used as a guinea pig.

This is too vicious.

The more Yan Bugui thought about it, the angrier he became.

"You make it sound nice. Who is Xu Damao? Before liberation, he would have been a traitor."

These are the words you said to the deaf old lady.

Can you guarantee he wouldn't dare do that?

If I were really abandoned halfway down the street, would you compensate me?

Yi Zhonghai turned his head away, not daring to look Yan Bugui in the eye.

He simply didn't dare agree to that condition. People might not take his promises seriously.

If you promise Yan Bugui something, you must keep your word. If you don't, Yan Bugui will make your life miserable.

If someone says they'll treat you to a meal another day, it means they're just being polite.

For Yan Bugui, "another day" is at most the next day.

If you dare not invite him to dinner the next day, he'll come to your house every day during mealtimes.

Qin Huairu quickly stepped forward to help Yi Zhonghai out of the predicament.

"Old Yan, why are you still taking this so seriously? Zhonghai just told you to wait. We were just about to go out and help you."

Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore.

Was Xu Damao really going to find Sha Zhu by car?

Yan Bugui said, "That car clearly belongs to Shazhu Company."

Sha Zhu sent the driver to pick up Xu Damao and Jin Youcai, definitely because of Jin Youcai's older brother's antique purchase.

Qin Huairu thought about it and realized that Yan Bugui's words made sense.

She immediately regretted staying at home and not going out in time.

She asked herself, if she went out, she would definitely be able to get on a bus, and she would never be like Yan Bugui, who was kicked off the bus in a sorry state.

Qin Huai stared at Yan Bugui, mentally labeling him a good-for-nothing. (End of Chapter)
