Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

While He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were chatting, the Li and Wu families in the front yard were also talking.

It was easy to talk to the Wu family; the couple quickly reached an agreement.

“Zhu Zi is so smart, he’ll be able to guess when the rumors start. I’ll go tell him in a bit.”

Chen Xiaofang said, "Don't wait any longer, go now. Those three old guys are up to no good by not letting us tell Zhuzi."

Wu Tiezhu smiled and said, "I know. They're trying to sow discord. I'm waiting to see what Zhenjiang will choose."

Chen Xiaofang was taken aback, then fell silent and turned to cook.

The atmosphere at the Li family's side was quite somber.

Yu Li cried and complained for a while.

The look in Li Dagen and his wife's eyes when they looked at Yu Li was filled with helplessness. Their daughter-in-law, who had been perfectly fine before, had somehow become like the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, and even seemed like one of them.

That stinginess and scheming is just like Yan Bugui's apprentice.

Because of Yu Li's scheming, Li Pan no longer wanted to stay at home.

Li Dagen looked at Li Zhenjiang: "What exactly are you thinking?"

Li Zhenjiang said, "What else can we think? Those three old guys, Yi Zhonghai, are up to no good."

They came here on purpose to sow discord.

I'll go tell Brother Zhu right away.

Yu Li said with dissatisfaction, "We can't go. If you go, we won't get a share of the house."

Li Zhenjiang said angrily, "I'm not going. Do you think the house will be yours?"
So many people in the compound are scrambling for a house.

Who do you think would be willing to give up their house to you?
Is it Yi Zhonghai or Yan Bugui?

Yu Li is smart, but she's blinded by greed. After Li Zhenjiang said that, she knew that her family's chances of getting the house were slim.

Yi Zhonghai had Qin Huairu on his side, and Yan Bugui was the kind of person who would taste the saltiness of a dung cart as it passed by.

With these two people around, the house won't fall into the hands of anyone else.

"Could you ask Brother Zhu to put in a good word for our family?"

Li Zhenjiang ignored him, got up and left.

When Wu Tiezhu saw him come out, he also came out from the doorway.

The two exchanged a glance and walked towards He Yuzhu's house in tacit agreement.

He Yuzhu finally understood what was going on.

It must be said that this tactic has a certain probability of success.

People have always had high expectations of their neighbors, regardless of the era.

Nobody wants to live with a bunch of scoundrels.

Their tactic, while not stopping everyone, can stop most people.

Those who remain stubborn will likely be persuaded to leave once they understand the situation at No. 95 Courtyard.

The most famous thing about No. 95 Courtyard is that the matchmakers in the neighborhood don't introduce potential partners to each other.

Those who have children will definitely consider this point.

"Zhu Zi, do you think this method will work?"

Before He Yuzhu could answer, Xu Damao interjected, "If they've used such a ruthless trick, how could it not work?"

Wu Tiezhu and Li Zhenjiang were still looking at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu was the backbone of their small group.

He Yuzhu said, "Whether it will work or not, I can't say for sure. But I'm reminding you, it's best not to get involved in spreading rumors."

"This matter has blown up, and the neighborhood committee will definitely investigate thoroughly. When they find out, those who spread the rumors will certainly be exposed."

The neighborhood committee has been handling these matters for many years and has accumulated a lot of experience.

This kind of tactic certainly won't escape the watchful eyes of the neighborhood committee.

They won't let Yi Zhonghai and his group succeed so easily.

Otherwise, if everyone does this, the work of the neighborhood committee will be impossible to carry out.

Both of them knew that He Yuzhu was right.

Fearing that Yu Li would get involved, Li Zhenjiang hurried home to give her instructions.

Wu Tiezhu didn't need to worry. The couple shared the same idea, and Chen Xiaofang had to work during the day and didn't have time to spread rumors in the neighborhood.

"Da Mao, I need your help."

Xu Damao said, "What is it? Let's make this clear first, don't come to me about the house. I don't have the ability to help you get a house."

Wu Tiezhu said, "Don't worry, it's not about the house. It's just that in the future, could your wife help us take care of the children?"

Xu Damao was taken aback: "Isn't Aunt Li helping you take care of the child?" Wu Tiezhu said: "The child is getting old and quite naughty. I'm afraid Aunt Li will get tired."

Xu Damao thought about it and realized it made sense. Six- or seven-year-old boys are at the mischievous age, always running around and jumping.

There are also two young children at home who need constant care.

Zhang Yan usually helps take care of him.

"Alright then. Anyway, my wife usually helps Aunt Li take care of things."

Wu Tiezhu expressed his gratitude a few more times before leaving.

This was a solution the couple had agreed upon, so that if they had a conflict over the house, they wouldn't put Zhou Sujuan in a difficult position.

Xu Damao received the news and left with peace of mind.

They had just left, and before He Yuzhu and his wife could say anything, there was another knock on the door.

He Yuzhu opened the door and saw an older woman, so he let her in. Thanks to her reminder about the deaf old lady's situation last time, He Yuzhu was able to get Director Wang here in advance.

He Yuzhu remembered this kindness.

"Aunt Miao, what's going on?"

An older woman said, "I came to tell you, Old Yan and the others are planning to..."

What she wanted to talk about was also the house.

Everyone who submitted an application was included.

However, it was Yan Bugui who notified the old lady.

He Yuzhu said, "Thank you, I understand."

The older woman said, "It's good that you know. I just wanted to let you know in advance."

Can you give me some advice on what to do about this?

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and told him the same thing: don't interfere.

The neighborhood committee will definitely issue the final reprimand. Whoever makes the most noise is likely to get punished.

The older woman received He Yuzhu's advice, but without explaining what to do, she went home.

Lin Jinghan finally had a chance to speak: "The deaf old lady was just taken away today, and these guys don't even know their place, they still dare to cause trouble?"

The ignorant are fearless.

In the case of the fake relatives of martyrs, none of the individuals were punished. The most severely affected, deaf elderly woman, was merely sent to a nursing home.

In their view, the matter was over. The neighborhood committee wouldn't bring up old issues, nor should it.

If the neighborhood committee brings up old grievances, then the neighborhood committee is in the wrong.

Another point is that self-interest can be very powerful.

The courtyard house is mostly populated by young people. The oldest residents are three uncles and Li Dagen.

This means that there will be no vacant houses in the courtyard in the short term.

The deaf old lady might be the last house that everyone could get.

Everyone here is smart; they can definitely figure it out.

For the sake of their children, they would definitely take a gamble.

In addition, the three old men offered conditions that those who did not receive a house would receive compensation.

To everyone else, this was a sure-fire way to make money.

Anyone who doesn't participate is a fool.

Honestly, if He Yuzhu hadn't seen through the flaws in this plan, he definitely would have participated.

Even if I can't have it myself, I won't let them have it either.

Another reason is that the deaf old lady left. If she had been in the yard, she would definitely have seen the weakness of this plan and would have reminded Yi Zhonghai.

However, if the deaf old lady were in the yard, there wouldn't be a fight over the house.

He Yuzhu and his wife were determined not to participate in this matter.

Xu Damao went home, pondered for a while, and then began writing his application.

Zhang Yan said, "Our family isn't qualified, so why are you writing an application?"

Xu Damao said with a smile, "I just wanted to cause them some trouble."

Zhang Yan was speechless: "If you have that kind of mindset, you should take good care of your health."

You've been taking medicine for so long, but there's been no improvement at all. What's wrong with you? (End of Chapter)
