Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

It's almost Chinese New Year, and He Yuzhu will be staying at the sanatorium for a few days.

Seeing that he hadn't returned, Yi Zhonghai and the others gathered together again. The main participants were Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, with Liu Haizhong only being an extra.

"Old Yan, where do you think Sha Zhu is going to visit his relatives? It can't be Tianjin, can it?"

Yan Bugui said, "That's definitely not possible. Going to Tianjin by car is too far, and the roads are difficult to travel; it would be a real ordeal."

How will he carry all those bottles and jars if he goes by train?

Moreover, I think that Sha Zhu's feelings for Lao He are just so-so.

Every year, they either send something to Lao He through a courier, or they send the two girls, Yu Shui and her brother, to visit him.

Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "I told you long ago that he is unfilial."

Old He is his own father, yet he doesn't care about him at all.

Liu Haizhong understood and said, "So be it. That's Lao He's problem."

I just want to ask, what exactly happened to the Li family?
Why did Li Pan and Yu Haitang start arguing?

I used to want Yu Haitang to be my daughter-in-law.

Yan Bugui briefly explained the situation to him. Actually, Yan Bugui was also relieved. He had initially considered having Yu Haitang as his daughter-in-law.

If Yan Jiefang hadn't argued with him about separating the family business, he might have already started implementing the plan.

"It's nothing. It has nothing to do with us."

Yi Zhonghai said, "You can't say that. Back then, we couldn't deal with Sha Zhu because the Li family was the one who caused trouble."

"If we take this opportunity to sow discord between the Li family and Sha Zhu, then no one in the courtyard will help Sha Zhu anymore."

Liu Haizhong said, "Even without the Li family, there's still Xu Damao, Wu Tiezhu..."

He hesitated for a moment, not mentioning Miao Jianye. He was very clear-headed; if he brought up Miao Jianye, Yi Zhonghai would definitely get angry.

Even though Miao Jianye wasn't mentioned, Yi Zhonghai was still very angry.

It was because of these people that he failed to isolate He Yuzhu and force He Yuzhu to submit.

“We can’t let them have it too easy. Old Yan, I see your eldest daughter-in-law has a good relationship with Yu Li. Go and talk to her about it.”

Yan Bugui neither refused nor agreed. His purpose was simple: he wanted money.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to give it. He only earned thirty-five yuan a month, and now he had to give Qin Huairu ten yuan for living expenses, plus occasionally some other money.

It's great if you can save ten yuan a month.

It costs ten yuan a month, which is only one hundred and twenty yuan a year.

This is far worse than before.

He used to be able to save this much money for retirement in just two months.

Those damned He Yuzhu and damned Xu Damao, it's all because of those two.

"Old Yan, I don't have any money. If you don't want to do it, then forget it."

Yan Bugui felt quite uncomfortable hearing Yi Zhonghai say that.

"No, I don't need much, just give me one yuan. You know, Yan Jiecheng and I separated our families."

"If I don't give them money, they won't listen to me."

After listening, Liu Haizhong had a different opinion: "If you're like this now, do you think your son will listen to you when you get old?"

Yan Bugui said confidently, "I've taught them so many skills, how could they not be filial to me?"

His confidence actually comes from the savings he has.

His family used to be small business owners, but they didn't know how to run a business and sold off their assets.

But the money from selling their property wasn't wasted.

He has them all stored away.

Liu Haizhong was unaware of these things and said, "What if you run out of money?"

Yan Bugui hadn't thought about this problem, nor did he need to.

In this day and age, five yuan is enough for a person to live on.

According to this calculation, he can retire now without worrying about running out of money.

In addition, he has a pension after retirement, and his medical expenses can be reimbursed by the school.

There's absolutely no need to worry about not having money.

"Old Liu, don't worry about my family. Look after your own." Liu Haizhong didn't think he had done anything wrong either. In his heart, he had given Liu Guangqi the very best.

Liu Guangqi is also the most filial son, so he will definitely take care of him in his old age.

As for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, if they dare not support him in his old age, then give them a good beating.

If one beating doesn't work, then keep beating them until they behave.

"What's wrong with my family? There's nothing wrong with my family."

Yi Zhonghai listened to their conversation with a mixture of heartache and disdain.

They have their own sons, and they can discuss whether their sons are filial. He doesn't even have the right to discuss that.

Disdain is even simpler. These two have sons, yet they're not as good as him who doesn't.

At least, he can find a filial Qin Huairu to take care of him in his old age.

In Tongzhou, Miao Jianye is also going on blind dates. His family has found him a pretty good girl.

After a year of hardship, Miao Jianye's arrogance had completely vanished.

He knew this was the best choice for him, so he seriously went on blind dates with the girl.

The girl was also quite satisfied with him.

Since Miao Jianye had to return to work in Beijing, the two sides didn't waste any time and began discussing the wedding arrangements.

The wedding was simple, and we didn't plan on a big celebration. The main thing was setting the date.

Ultimately, both parties decided that once Miao Jianye returned and obtained a letter of introduction, they would get married immediately.

An older woman burst into tears upon witnessing this scene. She had always worried that Miao Jianye would not be filial to her after he got married.

But Miao Jianye's girlfriend said directly that she would treat him like her own mother.

An older woman, fearing that the people in the courtyard might cause damage, revealed the condition of the courtyard house in advance.

This includes who you can contact, who you should avoid, and who you need to be wary of.

Don't be fooled by how quiet this older woman usually is; she has a lot on her mind.

When the old lady and Miao Jianye returned, they started tidying up the house and preparing for their new home.

If Qin Huai saw this, he would naturally guess that this was a blind date arranged for Miao Jianye.

When she went back to her parents' home, Qin Jingru's parents also came. They still pressured her to find Qin Jingru a partner from the city.

She had no way of finding a partner for Qin Jingru, and she was also unwilling to do so.

What will happen to her if Qin Jingru lives a good life?

"An older woman."

Upon hearing this, the older woman immediately corrected Qin Huairu: "Yi Zhonghai and I divorced a long time ago, so don't call me that."

Qin Huairu was a little embarrassed: "Aunt Miao, an old man still thinks about you. I do want you two to remarry."

The middle-aged woman said coldly, "I will not remarry him. You should leave too; you are not welcome in our home."

Qin Huairu naturally wouldn't leave, but instead said, "Aunt Miao, are you trying to set up a blind date for Jianye? What do you think of my cousin?"
Let me tell you, my cousin is beautiful, hardworking, and most importantly, filial.

I can have her promise you that she will definitely be filial to you in the future.

An older woman, believing that she was a spy sent by Yi Zhonghai, said, "There's no need for that. We've already asked Matchmaker Zhao from the west of the city to introduce a potential partner to Jianye."

"I'll go on a blind date with Jianye after the Spring Festival."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu became somewhat anxious. She turned around and went to find Yi Zhonghai to tell him the news.

Yi Zhonghai sneered: "She thinks that by finding a matchmaker in the west of the city, Miao Jianye can get married?"

As long as I'm in this courtyard house, that brat Miao Jianye can forget about getting married.

Huairu, let's use the old method again.

Qin Huairu said tentatively, "Why don't we let Jingru marry him?"

Once Jingru marries him, let her whisper sweet nothings in his ear.

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to refuse.

"No, I will never let anyone who offends me get away with it."

"Huai Ru, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't let your cousin get hurt."

Qin Huairu had no choice but to forget about Qin Jingru's matter. (End of Chapter)
