Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 190: New Year Greetings at Wu Bangming's Home
It was He Yuzhu's idea to use this trick to deal with Yi Zhonghai.

The trick used was to instigate and guide the Jia family to borrow money from Yi Zhonghai and suck Yi Zhonghai's blood.

There is an effect, but it is not obvious.

Moreover, even without his instigation, the Jia family would suck Yi Zhonghai's blood. And no matter how reluctant Yi Zhonghai was, he would not turn against the Jia family.

At most, he would just control the Jia family in terms of health, but would not fall out with them.

If you want to sow discord between Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family, the best way is to make Yi Zhonghai dissatisfied with Jia Dongxu.

How to make him dissatisfied with Jia Dongxu.

Just use He Yuzhu's method.

As a disciple, the more filial He Yuzhu is to Wu Bangming, the more dissatisfied Yi Zhonghai will be. As an extremely selfish person, he can be bad to others, but others cannot be bad to him.

If Jia Dongxu could not show more filial piety than He Yuzhu, wouldn't it prove that Yi Zhonghai's vision was not good? This was something Yi Zhonghai could not accept.

Especially since He Yuzhu had a bad relationship with him, it made Yi Zhonghai even more unacceptable.

Once Yi Zhonghai feels resentful, he will be dissatisfied with the Jia family and then take action against them. Only in this way will the conflict between the two families intensify.

This was He Yuzhu's initial idea. He didn't care whether it would succeed or not. The reason was very simple. In the entire Siheyuan, the only family that would agree to provide Yi Zhonghai with retirement care and make Yi Zhonghai feel at ease was the Jia family.

The Jia family needs Yi Zhonghai, and Yi Zhonghai also needs the Jia family. The two sides are grasshoppers tied to the same rope and no one can escape.

This Sha Zhu's situation is different. Sha Zhu himself really has no place to turn to for help from Yi Zhonghai. All the favors owed to Yi Zhonghai were caused by Yi Zhonghai.

Perhaps the only thing he needs Yi Zhonghai's help with is marrying Qin Huairu!

But if it weren't for Yi Zhonghai's plan, how could Sha Zhu have fallen to the point of marrying Qin Huairu.

From the time Sha Zhu became an adult to the time he married Qin Huairu, he had several opportunities to find a suitable partner.

These were all destroyed by the beasts led by Yi Zhonghai.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? We are almost at my godmother's house."

He Yuzhu forgot about the matter of the courtyard and knocked on Wu Bangming's door. At this time, there were several people sitting there.

These people are all famous chefs in Beijing, and He Yuzhu only knows some of them.

In the kitchen, Tang Jianze was leading people to prepare the dishes.

Wu Bangming smiled and led He Yuzhu into the house: "Come on, Zhuzi, let me introduce them to you. These are all my old friends. This is your Uncle Wang..."

Following Wu Bangming's introduction, He Yuzhu greeted the guests one by one.

"Did you make the boiled fish?" asked one of the chefs named Chen.

This person is a master of Shandong cuisine and is quite familiar with He Daqing. When he was introducing him just now, he learned about He Daqing's story and even called He Daqing a bastard.

"Yes, Uncle Chen."

Uncle Chen couldn't help cursing again: "He Daqing is such a bastard, why didn't he send such a good seedling to follow me?"

Wu Bangming said dissatisfiedly: "If I follow you, I will lose an apprentice. Daqing can also cook the Shandong cuisine you know. Why does he need Zhuzi to learn from you?"

"Haha."

The master's wife also brought He Yushui to recognize the people. For Wu Bangming's sake, several people gave He Yushui a big red envelope.

The little girl had a very sweet mouth and made everyone laugh non-stop.

"Zhu Zi is better than Lao He. Last March, I met Lao He on the road. He was so thin and skinny at that time. He is much better now."

Wu Bangming said: "Zhu Zi really loves Yu Shui. She keeps all the good things close to her."

He Yuzhu did not stay here, but went to the kitchen to help Tang Jianze. The two of them were the main cooks for today's banquet.

Tang Jianze said: "How is it, have you been criticized? I tell you, don't mind it. They are all chefs in Beijing, and their cooking skills are no worse than those of the master chefs. Even if you put less salt, you can't fool them.

Last year at Uncle Chen's house, Uncle Chen's apprentice cooked it and was also scolded. "Thanks to the boiled fish dish, I was not criticized." He Yuzhu said.

Tang Jianze said, "I had forgotten about this. Now that you have this dish to protect you, they won't be able to say anything bad to you. Okay, do you see that grass carp over there? It's yours."

He Yuzhu did not refuse, picked up the grass carp and started to process it.

While cooking, he was still looking through Sha Zhu's memories. In his memory, there was no such scene. He was not sure whether there was no such party or Sha Zhu missed it.

Most likely missed it.

Sha Zhu had no habit of visiting Wu Bangming on the first day of the Chinese New Year. Every year on the first day of the Chinese New Year, he was entangled by Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady and trapped in the courtyard.

By the time Sha Zhu remembered to wish Wu Bangming a happy new year, everyone had already started working.

He Yuzhu's boiled fish was well received and he received some pointers, which he remembered.

After leaving Wu Bangming's house, He Yuzhu went to the nursing home to wish the elderly there a happy new year.

The treatment in the nursing home is good now, and the elderly people there are very satisfied. When He Yushui went in, those people gave him the candies they had hidden and were reluctant to eat.

"Happy New Year, old man."

"Zhu Zi, Happy New Year to you guys too. You haven't been here for a while."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Isn't it because you are too busy at the restaurant and don't have time to come? Do you want to eat my dishes again? How about I cook for you in a couple of days?"

"Okay. We're all waiting for you."

He Yuzhu sat in the nursing home for about an hour and learned Go with a few old men before leaving.

Although he has Shazhu's memories and his Go skills are pretty good, he can't beat the old men inside.

The Xu family went out with He Yuzhu, but came back earlier than He Yuzhu. They went to the Lou family to pay New Year's greetings, said a few words and then left.

Many people came to the Lou family to pay New Year's greetings, including business partners and government officials. For people like the Xu family who were born as servants of the Lou family, being able to say a few words to them was giving them face.

This is also because Xu's mother has a good relationship with Lou Zhenheng's wife, Tan Yalan.

Tan Yalan was Lou Zhenheng's concubine. After the founding of New China, it was no longer allowed to take concubines, so Lou Zhenheng made the young and beautiful Tan Yalan his wife. His original wife went to Hong Kong with part of the family property and children.

Before Tan Yalan was promoted to the position of legitimate wife, she had a good relationship with Xu's mother. After she was promoted to the position of legitimate wife, Xu's status among the servants of the Lou family was improved.

But they are not Lou Zhenheng’s confidants and cannot access too many things.

The Xu family was not disappointed and came to the Lou family to pay New Year's greetings just to show their faces.

Xu Damao and his sister were the happiest, and both received big red envelopes.

Xu Damao secretly counted the red envelopes and found a full 100,000 yuan, which made him yearn for the life in the Lou family.

"Xiaoling, where is your red envelope?"

Xu Xiaoling covered her pockets with both hands: "I want to give my red envelope to my mother."

Xu Damao knew it was a lie at first sight, and coaxed her: "Give me the red envelope, and I'll buy you a string of candied haws, how about that?"

Last year, he cheated Xu Xiaoling out of her pocket money in this way. He used the pocket money he cheated to pursue beautiful girls in school.

"No, I can buy candied haws myself, so you don't need to buy them for me." Xu Xiaoling's attitude was very firm, and she did not be fooled like last year.

"You said you would buy me firecrackers last night. Where are your firecrackers?"

Xu Damao was not embarrassed at all: "Don't you have firecrackers?"

"That was bought by Brother Zhuzi for Yushui."

"It doesn't matter who buys it. If you don't give me the money, mom will take it away. If you give it to me, you can get a bunch of candied haws."

"No, no, I just won't give it to you."
