Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Qin Huairu really wanted to shout no to Yi Zhonghai.

What does it matter to her if the children in the courtyard are unfilial?

Her life was so difficult that no one in the courtyard was willing to help her.

Why should she be allowed to care for the elderly in the nursing home?

Do you know how troublesome it is to take care of someone in their old age?

Providing care for Yi Zhonghai, an old man, almost cost him his life; how could she possibly be willing to provide care for so many other people?

They really treated her like a mother hen.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's encouraging eyes, Qin Huai couldn't bring herself to refuse.

She knew very well that saying no would displease Yi Zhonghai.

In his life, Yi Zhonghai valued filial piety above all else. If she showed even the slightest sign of disrespect, it would give Yi Zhonghai other ideas.

If Yi Zhonghai becomes disloyal, all her efforts over the years will be in vain.

To obtain the hidden assets of Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu had no choice but to adopt a roundabout strategy.

“Zhonghai, I never thought about it.”

Yi Zhonghai was well aware of the difficulties of providing for someone else's old age.

If it were that simple to rely on others for old age, his retirement plan would have succeeded long ago.

He was prepared for Qin Huairu to refuse, and even thought about how to persuade her.

Seeing that Qin Huairu did not directly refuse, Yi Zhonghai was extremely satisfied.

Yi Zhonghai took Qin Huairu's behavior as an act of filial piety, which further strengthened his resolve to have Qin Huairu take care of the elderly in the nursing home.

"Huai Ru, it's not too late for you to think about it now. I hope you can set a good example for the younger generation in the hospital."

Qin Huai cursed inwardly. Such an example... why don't you follow it?

On second thought, Yi Zhonghai did indeed do it. However, he only cared for one deaf old lady, and he had to rely on the entire family in the nursing home to support her.

"Even if I had the will, I wouldn't have the ability. I think we should find ways for the younger generation to teach their children to be filial to their parents."

This is the most appropriate way.

Yi Zhonghai knew perfectly well that this was the most appropriate course of action.

The most appropriate approach might not be suitable for him.

With no heir and no one to help or supervise him, how could he possibly trust the Jia family to support him in his old age?

"Huai Ru, do you think that's possible? The atmosphere in our courtyard has long been corrupted by Sha Zhu and Xu Damao."

Look at the Liu family's children, and the Yan family's children. The reason they are unfilial is entirely because they learned it from those two.

Huairu, when your family was in trouble, the people in the courtyard helped you a lot.

Now is the time for you to give back to everyone.

You need to summon the courage to say, "If not me, then who?"

Qin Huairu felt a little itchy and wanted to pat the mosquitoes off Yi Zhonghai's face.

What does it mean to have the courage to say "I am the only one who can do it"?

Such courage is something anyone can have, but she doesn't need it.

At this moment, Qin Huairu began to understand He Yuzhu a little. No one could possibly tolerate Yi Zhonghai's demands.

Qin Huairu put his hands in his pockets to avoid losing control.

“It’s not that I’m making excuses, but I really can’t do that. If you go and tell other people that their children are unfilial, aren’t you afraid they’ll kick you out?”

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already discussed it with Lao Liu and Lao Yan."

Qin Huairu's inner thoughts shifted from cursing Yi Zhonghai alone to cursing three old men.

He knew that when those three old men got together, nothing good could come of it.

"They agreed?"

Yi Zhonghai's smile vanished. If Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui agreed, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Those two are just stubborn old folks. What era are we living in? They still think about relying on their children to support them in their old age."

I'm thinking about their retirement because I care about them.

where are they?
"A dog bites Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."

This is exactly what Qin Huairu wanted to criticize Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu believed that her willingness to support Yi Zhonghai in his old age was a great favor to him. Not only was Yi Zhonghai not grateful, but he also repaid her kindness with enmity.

Let her go and serve as a slave to more people.

"They have a son, so naturally they don't want someone else to support them in their old age. You shouldn't worry about it."

Knowing that Yi Zhonghai least wanted to hear about his son, Qin Huairu deliberately brought it up.

Finally, he subtly criticized Yi Zhonghai for meddling in other people's business.

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened, and he angrily refused to speak.

Qin Huairu, well-versed in the tactic of giving a stick followed by a sweet treat, then added, "To put it bluntly, even if Lao Liu and Lao Yan agree, their children won't."

If we do this, they might think we're after their family's wealth.

I think we should mind our own business.

We did a good deed, yet we were slandered. What's the point of that?

Banggeng is my son, and he's your son too. We should think about the child's future.

We can't just think of ourselves; we also need to consider our children.

Yi Zhonghai was somewhat angry, but didn't know what to say.

His motto was: "One should not only think of oneself."

If Qin Huairu used this sentence to shut him up, he really didn't know how to refute it.

The only thing that comforted him was that Qin Huairu did not reject the proposal.

Thinking of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's attitudes, Yi Zhonghai lost interest in arguing with Qin Huairu.

If the other party doesn't agree, can he force Qin Huairu to voluntarily take care of them in their old age?

In an instant, Yi Zhonghai lost his spirit.

Seeing his expression, Qin Huairu assumed he had been persuaded and prepared to strike while the iron was hot to dissuade Yi Zhonghai from pursuing the idea.

“You often tell us that neighbors should help each other.”

I remember all the help my neighbors have given my family.

If any elderly person in the neighborhood truly has no one to care for them, I certainly won't stand idly by.

However, I cannot promise to support them in their old age.

It's not that I'm unwilling, it's that I'm afraid my mother-in-law won't agree.

My mother-in-law has such a temper; if she's unhappy, she can verbally abuse you to death.

If that were to happen, it would be my fault.

Yi Zhonghai shuddered at the thought of Jia Zhangshi. It was a problem he had always wanted to avoid confronting.

With Jia Zhangshi around, not to mention Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, even his own retirement would be uncertain.

Yi Zhonghai realized that he seemed to be caught in a vicious cycle.

He needed to unite with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to support him in his old age; but if he united with them, he feared that Jia Zhangshi would not agree; if he did not unite with the two, he worried about his own old age.

How can we satisfy everyone?
Yi Zhonghai had another headache.

"Well, I'm only trying to do what's best for our department. Since no one's willing, then forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai wasn't insisting, Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid that Yi Zhonghai's stubborn temper would flare up and she would insist that he take care of so many people in their old age.

If that's the case, she'll have to consider whether it's worth it to support Yi Zhonghai in his old age.

Can Yi Zhonghai support so many people in the hospital with his meager funds?

Even if we can support them, once they all die, there won't be much money left.

She's wasted her whole life.

For some inexplicable reason, Qin Huairu thought of He Yuzhu. With He Yuzhu's wealth, supporting the entire courtyard house wouldn't be a problem.

For some reason, Qin Huairu always felt that everything He Yuzhu had now should belong to her.

A sudden surge of resentment welled up inside Qin Huairu, who turned to look at Yi Zhonghai: "If only we could get Sha Zhu to pay for it. He has money now; if he contributes a portion, we can live a very comfortable life."

If we have the money, the residents in the facility will definitely agree to support each other in our old age.

If you really want everyone to be together, then think of a way.

Yi Zhonghai wore a bitter expression. If he truly had a solution, would he still be worrying? (End of Chapter)
