Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao with some confusion.

It's not his fault.

He never imagined that Yi Zhonghai and his group could come up with such a cruel and inhumane idea.

Even an emperor can't make someone spit out the meat he's already eaten.

These guys actually had the audacity to go to the neighborhood committee and ask them for help.

Who was the brilliant strategist who came up with this idea?

"You're not lying, are you?"

Xu Damao said with dissatisfaction, "Why would I lie? Liu Haizhong was so scared that he didn't dare to go out."

Do you think what they're saying is true?

"Of course it's fake."

Even without the memories of the future, He Yuzhu was certain that Yi Zhonghai was lying.

Putting everything else aside, even if the goal is for those who get rich first to help those who get rich later, it won't just be about helping their own neighbors.

He Yuzhu suspected that this was a lie deliberately fabricated by Yi Zhonghai and his associates.

Even if the leaders of the neighborhood committee were to be slaughtered, they wouldn't dare say such a thing.

Xu Damao was still a little flustered: "Are you so sure? They seemed quite serious about it."

"What's the use of being serious? Do you think a small neighborhood office can decide such a big matter?" He Yuzhu rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

He couldn't quite understand how the shrewd Xu Damao could believe such a statement.

Is it really that the courtyard houses have some kind of magic that makes your IQ drop by 30% once you enter?

On closer reflection, it's not impossible.

Sha Zhu has a memory of a scene where he and Xu Damao argued over who was in charge of things.

That was back in the 1980s.

Yi Zhonghai and two others, in order to secure their retirement, tricked Sha Zhu into becoming an old man.

Xu Damao was not convinced and stood up to compete with Shazhu.

Sha Zhu wasn't fooled, but Xu Damao was, and he acted like a big shot for a while.

Besides gaining the title of "old man," it's of no use at all.

The so-called "manager" at that time was already a figurehead.

In the entire courtyard, only a few people, including Yi Zhonghai, still took the steward seriously.

The others stopped playing with them a long time ago.

After the news broke that the restaurant owner was Lou Xiao'e, Yi Zhonghai and the others were so anxious that they couldn't sleep.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai would have already held a hospital-wide meeting and used moral blackmail against Sha Zhu.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't have that back then.

Instead of using the courtyard assembly as his trump card, he employed a strategy of attrition.

They mobilized Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to take turns brainwashing Sha Zhu.

He didn't even consider that Sha Zhu's intelligence only decreased in front of three people.

These three people are the deaf old lady, Qin Huairu, and Yi Zhonghai.

This absolutely does not include Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

These two people don't have a very good relationship with Sha Zhu, and their presence might even have the opposite effect.

Yi Zhonghai knew the effect wouldn't be significant, so why did he still have the two of them step in?

Because he had no other choice.

The passersby in the courtyard no longer participate in their games.

Yi Zhonghai's most effective tactic at the time was to have Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui intervene.

In this situation, for Xu Damao to still insist on arguing for the so-called "manager" position is nothing short of a sign of low intelligence.

Xu Damao had no idea that in just a short while, He Yuzhu would treat him like a fool.

"That doesn't make sense. The neighborhood committee didn't agree, so why are they so confident?"

"You ask me, I'll ask who goes."

He Yuzhu isn't a god; he couldn't possibly have guessed what was happening at the street office.

Since moving out of Nanluoguxiang, He Yuzhu has had much less contact with the street office.

The people he used to know had either been promoted or retired.

Even finding out information is difficult.

He Yuzhu estimated that they might have gone to a fake neighborhood office.

Xu Damao asked, "Then what should we do?"

He Yuzhu said, "Just listen to me. No one will take a share of your family property."

Even if there were to be a distribution, they wouldn't qualify. There are far more people in China poorer than them; why should they be given preferential treatment?

Xu Damao was finally relieved to hear He Yuzhu's words. "That's good. Anyway, I'm not willing to give them the money."

……

Tang Yanling found another great idea.

Banggeng's face lit up with surprise when he saw Tang Yanling: "Yanling, you've come to find me. Are you coming home with me?"

Tang Yanling's eyes were filled with disgust, but in the blink of an eye they transformed into alluring, seductive glances.

"Don't mention going home yet."

"I'm asking you, everyone at the Chaoyang Hotel says He Yuzhu is back, but has he actually come back?"

Bang Geng felt bitter inside, thinking that Tang Yanling was forcing him to go find He Yuzhu.

For Tang Yanling's sake, he didn't mind asking He Yuzhu for help.

He had already told Qin Huairu that no matter what conditions He Yuzhu proposed, the family had to agree.

Qin Huairu's side also made things seem fine.

The real problem is that they can't see He Yuzhu.

Faced with Tang Yanling's question, Banggeng dared not lie and could only answer honestly.

"Shazhu did come back from his business trip. But he didn't go back to the courtyard house."

"How about this, you come back to the courtyard house with me, and we'll wait for him there."

Even though Bang Geng is Qin Huairu's son, he still has some cunning.

He wanted to use this excuse to lure Tang Yanling back to the courtyard house.

In Qin Huairu's words, the reason why Tang Yanling dared to recklessly file for divorce from Banggeng was because the two had no son.

Once Tang Yanling became pregnant with her son, she no longer dared to casually mention divorce.

Bang Geng kept these words in mind and kept trying to coax Tang Yanling home first.

Tang Yanling went to see He Yuzhu as a neighbor, but He Yuzhu refused to see her.

She had no other choice but to come to Bang Geng.

After hearing Bang Geng's words, Tang Yanling was indeed a little tempted.

"Are you sure he'll go back to the courtyard house?"

Bang Geng wasn't sure he was right, but that didn't stop him from deceiving Tang Yanling.

"Is there any need to be sure? His house is still in the yard, and he'll go back to the courtyard house sooner or later."

Tang Yanling thought it made sense, but she didn't agree immediately.

"Don't rush back. Come with me to the Chaoyang Hotel first."

"Where are you going and what are you doing?"

"If not, of course I'll go find He Yuzhu. I've already said, as long as you help me get into his restaurant, I'll be happy to live with you."

"If you can make me a manager in his company, I'll agree to anything you want."

Bang Geng immediately thought of the positions his coworker had mentioned, and his eyes became unfocused.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

In order to save time, the two took a bus to Chaoyang Hotel.

Once outside the Chaoyang Hotel, Banggeng suddenly regained his senses.

He knew very well that He Yuzhu had never liked him.

He Yuzhu's family would rather throw away their food than let him eat it.

He went to find He Yuzhu, but he probably wouldn't be able to see He Yuzhu.

"Yanling, why don't we go back first? Let's go back and find my mom, and have her go find Shazhu."

Tang Yanling shook off his hand in dissatisfaction: "You always go to your mother for everything? Are you still a child who hasn't been weaned?"

You're a grown man, can't you be a little more responsible?

If it were someone else, they would probably be furious if their wife said that to them.

But not the stick-shaped one.

When he was old enough to remember things, Jia Dongxu was still alive.

He remembered everything Jia Dongxu did back then.

Bang Geng is now learning from Jia Dongxu.

"This has nothing to do with taking responsibility. If my mom intervenes and things succeed, everyone's happy. If things don't succeed, we're not ashamed, are we?"

You haven't met Sha Zhu. He loves hitting people.

He had slapped those three old bastards, Yi Zhonghai, before.

I'm afraid she'll hit you.

There was one more thing Banggeng didn't say: he was afraid he'd get beaten up too. (End of Chapter)
