Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yi Zhonghai and the others didn't care about He Yuzhu's attitude and started publicizing the shortcomings of the courtyard house the next day.

Those involved in the action sabotaged each other, further tarnishing the reputation of Courtyard No. 95.

The people nearby were unaware of the scheme behind it and blindly followed, only adding to the chaos.

The whole street started talking about what happened at No. 95 Courtyard.

Most of those who heard that there were vacant houses in courtyard number 95 backed out.

The main reason they applied for housing was that their children were getting older and needed to find partners.

If you go to a place where matchmakers won't introduce you to potential partners, wouldn't that mean your family line will end?

When it comes to having no heirs, Xu Damao gets the angrier.

I don't know who started it, but they brought up the fact that no one in the family had survived.

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng, two people who had been married for many years and had no children, were shot.

Then everyone did the math. In this small courtyard house, with fewer than twenty households, four families had died out.

This ratio is too high.

People aren't superstitious, but they can't help but be superstitious because many people say that the feng shui of No. 95 Courtyard is bad.

Xu Damao was furious. He had originally planned not to participate, but in a moment of impulsiveness, he also joined the game.

Yan Jiecheng was also getting anxious and went around telling people that he didn't have children because he was malnourished.

But this reason didn't work.

Xu Damao also claimed publicly that he only had asthenospermia, not that he was childless.

The problem is that nobody believes it.

Even if they produce the hospital's diagnosis, people won't believe it.

Everyone believed only one thing: that the two of them had gotten the child out.

That's putting people in a really difficult position.

After enjoying good food for a few days, Yan Bugui couldn't bear to part with it anymore.

Even if the couple secretly prepares something nutritious, it's still a drop in the ocean.

Xu Damao found this strange.

Taking advantage of the drinking opportunity, He Yuzhu gave him diluted spiritual spring water several times.

Normally, it should have some effect.

But so far, there hasn't been a single word.

He Yuzhu didn't feel comfortable asking what was going on.

In the end, He Yuzhu had no choice but to take it slowly.

He didn't know that Xu Damao's drinking of the spiritual spring water did indeed have an effect.

However, while he was effective, he couldn't sustain the disease.

Qin Huairu would wander around him every now and then.

After Xu Damao drank the spiritual spring water, that place took effect, and it was all used on Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu had already had an IUD. All the nutrients Xu Damao received were given to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu also benefited greatly after drinking the secondhand spiritual spring water.

Without that gullible fool Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu's beauty remained largely unchanged.

That's the reason.

If He Yuzhu found out, he'd be furious. He'd definitely bring Xu Damao over and give him a good beating.

However, He Yuzhu was unaware of this.

After going to the hospital for a checkup, Xu Damao became much more careful. His transaction with Qin Huairu changed from bartering to buying steamed buns with money.

This is why He Yuzhu didn't realize it.

That day, the big boss sent someone to notify me again to cook a meal for him.

He Yuzhu did not refuse and went to his home.

When I arrived at the big boss's house, he was playing the "Destiny March".

This phonograph was also key to Sha Zhu becoming close friends with the big boss despite their age difference.

For some reason, He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard this piece of music.

A flood of emotions welled up within him.

He Yuzhu knew very well that this wasn't his personal sentiment. He didn't have that kind of profound understanding of this kind of music.

The high-ranking leader saw his appearance and asked, "Have you heard this piece of music before?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "I've heard of it."

"Tell me, what did you hear?" He Yuzhu was too lazy to think, so he just told her the insights that Sha Zhu remembered.

This insight was something that Sha Zhu had once shared with the top leader, which naturally piqued the leader's interest.

The senior leader smiled and said, "You really are a hidden talent. You know more than I, your leader."

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "I've heard a lot and seen a lot, but I'm only half-baked and only know the basics."

After chatting with He Yuzhu, the senior leader felt much better and then played chess with He Yuzhu.

This time, he came up with a new trick to defeat He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu immediately saw through his moves and continued to play chess in the same way as Sha Zhu.

The top leader never expected that the strategy he had been working on for so long would be so easily cracked by He Yuzhu.

"No, let's play one more round. I was careless just now."

He Yuzhu glanced at the time: "It's time to eat."

The leader said, "It's alright. Have the chef at home prepare the dishes first. You can cook the rest after you finish this one."

He Yuzhu quickly refused: "That's not right. I'm already taking over your chef's job by coming here to cook, how can I let him work as my assistant?"

That will offend people.

The high-ranking leader was taken aback, then glanced at the doorway: "Zhu Zi, what do you mean by this?"

He Yuzhu had met the chef at the high-ranking leader's home several times and could see the resentment the leader held towards him.

Every time he came to cook, the senior leader would prepare a lot of good things for He Yuzhu.

This is a treatment that even the cook in a high-ranking official's household has never received.

Injustice will arouse jealousy in people's hearts.

He Yuzhu mentioned him simply to remind the senior leader.

He Yuzhu didn't say it explicitly, but hinted at it a few times.

The senior leader understood He Yuzhu's implication, but did not completely believe it.

As someone in a superior position, he is unable to empathize with those in subordinate positions, and naturally does not understand the thoughts of the family cook.

"Never mind, let's play it next time."

He Yuzhu put down the chess pieces and got up to cook.

Throughout his life, He Yuzhu never showed any particular interest in phonographs, so the high-ranking leader never mentioned giving one to him.

Perhaps it was He Yuzhu's hint that made the senior leader feel uneasy, and this time he didn't give him as much as he had.

He Yuzhu didn't mind. After finishing the meal, he said he was leaving.

When we returned to the courtyard house, we saw three old men sitting on a stone platform in the front yard.

This scene looks familiar.

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment before he remembered.

This scene was originally supposed to happen.

However, that was when Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and Xu Damao joined forces to oust Yi Zhonghai from power.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Yi Zhonghai wisely resigned from his status as an old man.

He Yuzhu returned with the gramophone and gave the three men a dressing down. His purpose in doing so was to stand up for Yi Zhonghai.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai didn't appreciate it. In Yi Zhonghai's view, Sha Zhu only stood up because of his bad temper.

And because Sha Zhu was the type to do things but not talk about them, he did not explain to Yi Zhonghai.

Only the deaf old lady spoke up in support, but she couldn't convince Yi Zhonghai.

In Yi Zhonghai's mind, Sha Zhu was the epitome of unreliability, and only by marrying Qin Huairu could he barely be considered qualified.

He Yuzhu curiously looked for Xu Damao and found that the guy was hiding behind the crowd watching the excitement.

Yan Bugui saw He Yuzhu and the things in He Yuzhu's hands: "Zhuzi, which leader are you cooking for this time? Why are you given so many good things?"

He Yuzhu said indifferently, "If the leader is happy and willing to give it, what's it to you?"

Yi Zhonghai has been finding fault with everything lately; this is a lingering effect of the deaf old lady's passing.

Hearing He Yuzhu say that, he immediately became dissatisfied: "He Yuzhu, who told you to talk to Lao Yan like that?"

Don't think that just because you've become a leader, you can disrespect your elders.

He Yuzhu said disdainfully, "Yi Zhonghai, can't you come up with something more original?"

They keep calling me "elder" all the time.

You are indeed very filial to your elders.

You've taken such good care of that deaf old lady that she's even sent her to a nursing home.

Xu Damao deliberately burst into laughter. (End of Chapter)
