Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 1365 Persuasion
The next morning, Yan Bugui appeared at the Intermediate People's Court with dark circles under his eyes.

"He Yuzhu, come out here."

He Yuzhu naturally knew the reason, so he walked out with a smile.

"Yan Bugui, what's wrong?"

Yan Bugui was still somewhat afraid when he faced He Yuzhu alone.

However, considering that Yi Zhonghai was right next door, I wasn't so scared.

"I'm asking you, why did you make things difficult for Jiecheng and Jiefang by the factory leaders?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I make things difficult for them?"

Aren’t you capable?

Go back and write the complaint letter right away.

"You said I made things difficult for your two sons."

Yan Bugui's face turned bright red: "You're deliberately retaliating against our family."

"If it weren't for you, why would the steel rolling mill make things difficult for Jiecheng, and why would the workload on the Jiefang side increase?"

He Yuzhu did indeed do it, but he will absolutely not admit it.

There are some things you can do but can't say. Taking revenge on the Yan family is one such example.

He Yuzhu replied calmly, "To paraphrase a quote from Yi Zhonghai."

They should seriously consider whether there is anything wrong with themselves.

Why were they the only ones who were mistreated, while others weren't?

"You..." Yan Bugui was speechless, choked by He Yuzhu's words.

Xu Damao happened to arrive and immediately joined the fray: "You're right. Yan Bugui, you should really reflect on this."

Don't blame others for everything.

If you're not satisfied, you can go home and write a complaint letter.

The crowd burst into laughter.

After the news broke that Yan Bugui had written a letter of complaint, people began to have opinions about him.

The reason is simple: no one likes a treacherous person.

They dared not target Yan Bugui, but that did not stop them from gloating and expressing their dissatisfaction.

Faced with the ridicule of the crowd and the intimidation of He Yuzhu, Yan Bugui stormed into Yi Zhonghai's house.

"This is outrageous! How dare Sha Zhu hire people to retaliate against our family? We can't let him continue to be so arrogant."

Yi Zhonghai was also in a bad mood, feeling a sense of shared sorrow.

"Are you sure this was done by Sha Zhu?"

Yan Bugui said, "Jie Cheng works in the same workshop as you. Tell me, why did your workshop director suddenly target him?"

Yi Zhonghai was still somewhat doubtful: "What about Jiefang? Can Shazhu manage things at his factory?"

Yan Bugui didn't know why, he could only blame He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

"He often cooks for other leaders, so he might get to know the leaders in the Jiefang Factory."

Yi Zhonghai snorted: "A despicable act."

Yan Bugui also cursed, then said, "Can you help me solve this problem?"

Jie Cheng and Jie Fang are giving me trouble at home. They're trying to force me to raise the food standards at home, and they don't plan to hand over my wages.

Yi Zhonghai felt a sense of relief, then began to deflect the issue: "This is your family matter. You should go back and have a proper talk with them first."

If we really can't reach an agreement, I'll go again.

Yan Bugui then returned home.

At home, all the children were staring at him.

Yan Jiefang was the first to stand up: "Dad, now let's talk about what to do."

I was doing just fine at the factory, but because of you, my workload has doubled.

My commute to work is already long, so I don't have enough time. Now it's even more difficult.

"If you want me to hand over my salary to the family, you have to solve this problem first. And you also need to give me the bicycle."

Yan Jiecheng also stepped forward: "Jiefang is right. You must solve the problem of us being targeted. Also, improve the food at home."

Yan Bugui's eyes darted around, and he said, "There's only one bicycle. Between the two of you, who's going to ride it?"

"Who rides the bicycle is none of your business; you just need to give up your bicycle."

The two of them answered in unison.

The bicycle issue is a very serious one. On several occasions, Yan Bugui used the bicycle to sow discord between the two men.

The two knew it was a conspiracy, but there was nothing they could do to avoid it. It was all due to the inherent nature of the Yan family. But the same trick, used too often, will eventually lose its effectiveness.

The two of them had just agreed to take turns using the bicycle.

Yan Bugui was immediately alarmed when he saw this. He didn't mind letting his son use the bicycle, on the condition that his son would give him money and be responsible for its maintenance.

Now his two sons want to get something for free, which is like taking his manhood.

"No way. You all wait, I'm going to get Old Yi right now."

Ignoring the two men's attempts to stop him, Yan Bugui left the house and went to find Yi Zhonghai first.

Not wanting to cause trouble, Yi Zhonghai suggested, "Go and find Lao Liu."

"If the three of us old men go together, they'll have no choice but to behave."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui agreed and went to the backyard, where he quickly persuaded Liu Haizhong to come over.

Liu Haizhong entered the Yan family home and immediately asked, "How could you argue with Old Yan?"

The two were somewhat afraid of Liu Haizhong, who often beat people.

However, they cannot back down.

Yan Jiecheng said, "Second Uncle, this isn't our fault. My dad secretly wrote a letter of denunciation, reporting Sha Zhu."

In the end, he was discovered, but he was fine. Why should I suffer for him?

You have no idea, but my workload is twice that of everyone else. The tasks assigned to me are also the most difficult.

My family is always hungry; if this continues, I reckon I'll be the next Jia Dongxu.

Yan Jiefang added, "Second Uncle, my workplace is far away. The little food I eat is only enough to get to the factory. By the time I get there, I have no strength left."

My dad has a bicycle, but he won't let me use it.

If they don't want us to use it, then they don't want us to use it.

He even deliberately caused trouble for me, making the factory deliberately make things difficult for me.

What can I do?

They didn't actually need to say so much.

When Yan Jiecheng mentioned that this was all because of the whistleblower letter, Liu Haizhong no longer wanted to help Yan Bugui.

In his mind, the leader is like a god.

Yan Bugui should be arrested and have his hands broken for reporting He Yuzhu.

"Old Yan, I think Jie Cheng and Jie Fang are right. This is all because you reported Sha Zhu."

You must solve their problems.

Yan Bugui looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Whose side are you on anyway?"

Liu Haizhong said, "I'm on the leader's side."

Yan Bugui glared at him angrily, then turned to Yi Zhonghai and pleaded, "Old Yi, what do you suggest we do?"

Yi Zhonghai naturally wanted to help Yan Bugui. His theory was that there were no elders who were wrong.

Regardless of what Yan Bugui did, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang, as his sons, should not blame him.

"Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, stop making trouble. It's Sha Zhu who's dealing with you, not Lao Yan. If you're still men, you should go find Sha Zhu."

There are no bad elders in the world, only inconsiderate juniors.

Old Yan wrote the complaint letter for the sake of improving the atmosphere in our institute.

"The atmosphere in the courtyard has improved, and you'll definitely benefit from it..."

It went on and on, but there was really nothing useful about it.

The Yan family's motto is: you won't get poor from eating or dressing, but you will get poor if you don't plan ahead.

To persuade the Yan family, we need data, not grandiose theories.

"Uncle, don't talk like that without understanding the situation. My dad caused this mess, so he should take responsibility."

These are the rules my dad set.

"Isn't that right, Dad?"

Yan Bugui had no answer. He had set the rules, but he had never imagined he would get himself into such big trouble.

Yi Zhonghai glared angrily at the Yan family's children, a look of helplessness on his face.

The saying "a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs" perfectly describes him.

"You are all too selfish."

"My dad taught me to be selfish."

Liu Haizhong's betrayal rendered Yi Zhonghai's theories unworkable, and the meeting ultimately ended in discord.
