Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He didn't even give face to Yi Zhonghai, this must be a big deal.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu and blinked.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to speak casually, so she blinked and responded to Yi Zhonghai, saying that she didn't know.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and it made sense. Qin Huairu was such a good woman, anyone who saw her would only like her and would not be angry with her.

Normally, the deaf old lady would praise Qin Huairu highly. She must not be angry at Qin Huairu.

After giving Qin Huairu a reassuring look, Yi Zhonghai followed her back home.

At home, an aunt was apologizing to the deaf old lady. When she saw the deaf old lady, she remembered that she had forgotten about her last night.

Yi Zhonghai realized that it was his daughter-in-law who had offended the deaf old lady, which was really holding him back.

"Cui Lan, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to treat the old lady with all your heart?"

After talking about the aunt, Yi Zhonghai apologized to the deaf old lady again: "Old lady, this is also my fault. Sha Zhu, that ungrateful guy, beat me again yesterday. Cuilan has been taking care of me, so I didn't have time to go to your place."

The deaf old lady thought she deserved it. Jia Dongxu's daughter-in-law, why are you so aggressive? Let her say that a kick would be the least of her worries.

This is where the stance is different.

In the past, the deaf old lady would definitely join Yi Zhonghai in scolding He Yuzhu for being heartless and ungrateful. But this time, she didn't say anything at all, leaving Yi Zhonghai at a loss for words.

"Godmother, what happened to you?"

With no other options, Yi Zhonghai had to play the emotional card.

The word "godmother" brought the deaf old lady back to her senses. She knew very well that she couldn't fall out with Yi Zhonghai.

She couldn't afford the consequences of falling out with Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai has the Jia family's pension insurance, but she doesn't.

Neither staying in the institution with no one caring about her nor going to a nursing home was what she wanted.

"Hey, Zhong Hai, don't scold Cui Lan. I'm mad at you."

"Me?" Yi Zhonghai was a little puzzled. He didn't think he had done anything wrong.

"Godmother, are you confused? There is nothing I did wrong."

The deaf old lady said, "You have been beaten several times by Sha Zhu, why don't you learn your lesson? He is just a fool, what if he hits too hard?"

If He Yuzhu knew what she said, he would definitely tell the deaf old lady that she was really worrying too much. In front of everyone, he would never do anything heavy to Yi Zhonghai. He didn't want to be blackmailed by Yi Zhonghai.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he thought the deaf old lady was just being mysterious. She cared about him, so she cared about him. She even used this trick of scaring people.

"Shazhu doesn't dare. He just took advantage of my good temper and made me feel embarrassed to argue with him, so he attacked me. I hinted at him to teach Xu Damao a lesson, but he didn't dare."

The deaf old lady snorted, "Even if he doesn't dare, do you still have any shame? How can you be a master in the future if you are scolded by a junior every other day?"

Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy and stopped talking. He was not a cheap person who liked to be beaten.

After the deaf old lady had done her job of showing off, she got to the point: "If you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, that's your business. I can't interfere. Let me ask you now, have you forgotten your retirement plan?"

Yi Zhonghai looked a little embarrassed. Although he was indeed a hero saving a beautiful girl, he shouldn't say that in front of an old lady.

Looking again, I saw a look of doubt on the aunt's face.

"Godmother, please stop talking nonsense. If others knew about this, how would Huairu face others? I am doing this for my old age."

The deaf old lady knew that too much is as bad as too little, so she didn't hold on to it.

"I thought you had forgotten about taking care of your old age. Look at what you have been doing recently. Let me ask you, how much money have you two spent on the Jia family in the past month?"

The couple looked at each other and calculated silently in their hearts.

An old lady said, "Probably around forty!"

Yi Zhonghai was shocked and a little scared. The calculations by the aunt were all on the surface, but behind the scenes, he also gave Qin Huairu a lot, which the aunt didn't know. "How much money did you save this month?" The deaf old lady continued to ask.

Neither of them answered.

Apart from the Jia family's expenses, they also had to spend money of their own. Yi Zhonghai's salary of more than 70 yuan was simply not enough.

The deaf old lady said: "I know that you have high hopes for Dongxu and place your hopes for your retirement on Dongxu and his wife.

Have you forgotten the truth that we should always be on guard against others?

Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s just talk about Sha Zhu.

The child used to respect us so much, but after hearing a few words of gossip from outsiders, he started to turn against us.

Can you guarantee that Dongxu won't do that?"

Yi Zhonghai wanted to say that with Qin Huairu around, Jia Dongxu would definitely not do that. But the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them. People's hearts are hidden, and he couldn't guarantee that Qin Huairu would treat him as his real father 100%.

Filial piety is not absolute, which means it is absolutely unfilial.

The deaf old lady kept looking at Yi Zhonghai's expression, and she could see what she wanted from his face.

"I'm not trying to sow discord. Banggeng is still a baby, and it's hard to say what his future will be like.

However, just because he has a grandmother like Zhang Xiaohua, there is a 80% chance that he will be like Dongxu in the future.

You are so nice to him now, buying him delicious food every day. Don't you know who is eating all those things?
Can you guarantee that he will really be grateful to you when he grows up? "

An old lady said, "Old lady, you used to..."

The deaf old lady's face darkened: "I just didn't have the heart to ruin your good mood. When Banggen was born, you were so enthusiastic, what could I say?"

The old lady blushed and slowly lowered her head.

Yi Zhonghai now understood what the deaf old lady meant, and felt that he was a little too happy. The Jia family really needed care, but he couldn't spend his own money like this.

"Old lady, the people in the courtyard are unwilling to help, and Sha Zhu is not obedient. What should I do?"

The deaf old lady snorted, "If no one helps the Jia family, can they not get by? Also, look at the life of the Jia family, they have plenty of fish and meat every day, who would you ask to help them?"
I think in all of Beijing, only Loubancheng has that ability."

The deaf old lady did not let him go and said, "When you were beaten last night, didn't you think about your own problems? The Jia family was eating meat at home, but you still took such a big bowl and went to the idiot's house to make trouble.

What is this called?

Eat what's in your own bowl and look at what's in other people's pots.

If you ask me, he deserved to be beaten.

I ask you, when you were beaten yesterday, did anyone say a word for you?"

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head in shame.

During this period of time, I was so happy that I had no mood to think about these things.

It's not enough to just point out the problem. Everyone can find faults. Only by pointing out the solution to Yi Zhonghai can her status be reflected.

The deaf old lady said, "Zhong Hai, you should wake up. It is important to show favor to the Jia family, but it is more important to control the Siheyuan.

You still have to follow the method we originally discussed and take it slowly. You have no prestige in the hospital, so how can others listen to you?

Look at Old Qiao in No. 91 Hutong. He is a shoe shiner with no ability. How can he compare with you? But he has the final say in their courtyard. Can you do the same?

I know that you two like to make jokes. I say these words because I see that you are filial to me and I can't bear to see you get nothing in vain.

If you don't want to listen, just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm old now, I don't have much time left to live, and I can't care about so many things.

Well, that's all I have to say. Cuilan, hurry up and cook for Zhonghai. I'll go back first." (End of this chapter)
